Chapter 167 The Wei King and the Ming King Are Not Behaving Well

After a cup of tea.

Qin Wu finished reading the list of those to be rewarded.

He handed the list to Yongfu, who was waiting nearby.

"Okay, let's do it this way!"

Qin Wu said indifferently.

Such a reward was quite good, and many generals were granted noble titles.

In Dongqin, titles of nobility are not easy to obtain. Even becoming a county baron is difficult; one must make significant contributions.

Eunuch Yongfu took the list and placed it back on the Emperor of Dongqin's desk.

"By the way, Father, I heard that your men are investigating the person who assassinated my aunt?"

Qin Wu spoke as if he were asking about a trivial matter.

At the same time, he was also observing the expressions of his elder brothers, seeing whose expressions changed.

Emperor Dong Qin was surprised that Qin Wu would suddenly inquire about this matter, since so much time had passed and no one knew that he was still investigating.

However, he knew that Qin Wu's men had also been investigating and had even captured some assassins.

"Yes, the investigation is still ongoing, but there's not much progress. We must catch them off guard, otherwise it will become a huge hidden danger."

The Emperor of Eastern Qin did not hide anything.

Although he didn't know why Qin Wu would ask in front of so many people, he knew that Qin Wu wouldn't do anything pointless.

He always has his own purpose in doing things.

"I have found some clues and captured quite a few people alive. We are currently interrogating them, and I expect to have results soon."

Qin Wu said this deliberately.

He believed that once this news was released, some people would become restless.

After all, he couldn't possibly be unaware of those people's attempt to assassinate the Grand Princess.

"Good. Send someone to inform me immediately of whatever you find out during the interrogation. I want to see who is so audacious as to attempt to assassinate the Grand Princess."

Upon hearing Qin Wu's words, the Emperor of Eastern Qin immediately echoed his sentiments.

As for what Qin Wu was going to do, he didn't care. He'd find out sooner or later anyway, and besides, he couldn't control it even if he wanted to.

"it is good."

Qin Wu nodded in agreement.

During this time, he noticed that both of them were acting strangely.

It seems these two do indeed have a problem.

He secretly made a note of the two men, and planned to have someone investigate them thoroughly later.

What followed was casual conversation.

They chatted casually about recent events.

An hour later, a palace servant came to Eunuch Yongfu and whispered something to him.

After the palace servant left, Eunuch Yongfu came to Emperor Dongqin's side and whispered his report to him.

"Your Majesty, the banquet is ready, and everyone has begun to take their seats."

"Okay, we're getting ready to head over there too."

The Emperor of Eastern Qin nodded.

"The banquet is all ready, everyone please go!"

The Emperor of Eastern Qin addressed the crowd.

"Yes, we'll take our leave now."

The group bowed and took their leave, as they all had to go to the banquet first and could not wait for the Emperor of Dongqin to join them.

Emperor Dong Qin waved his hand, signaling everyone to go first.

He remained seated without making any movement.

Only Qin Wu remained unchanged in his actions.

After everyone leaves.

"Have your men keep an eye on Sixth and Seventh Brother! Don't let them get caught off guard."

After Qin Wu finished speaking, he got up and left without offering any further explanation.

These two were the people he had just discovered to be not related to him by blood. However, he was still unsure whether both of them were from Japan, or if only one of them was Japanese.

If only one person is one, then who is the other?

He needed to investigate all of this thoroughly, but to avoid any problems, he reminded the Emperor of Dongqin.

To avoid causing trouble if the Emperor of Eastern Qin gets into trouble.

The Emperor of Eastern Qin was puzzled. What did Qin Wu mean by that? Had Qin Wu discovered something?

He wanted to ask for more details, but in the short time he was stunned, Qin Wu had already left.

He could only suppress his doubts and wait for an opportunity to ask Qin Wu later.

"Yongle, you heard what the Divine Martial King said just now. Send someone to investigate the Sixth and Seventh Princes. Remember to be careful not to expose them."

The Emperor of Eastern Qin gave instructions to Eunuch Yongle.

"Yes."

After receiving the order, Eunuch Yongle left immediately.

Qin Wu left the imperial study and went to a corner.

"Liu Feng, send someone to keep an eye on King Wei and King Ming. I can confirm that neither of them are members of the royal family of Eastern Qin."

Qin Wu gave instructions to Liu Feng.

"Yes."

Liu Feng accepted the order and disappeared.

Qin Wu also headed towards the palace banquet.

When Qin Wu arrived, all the ministers and their families were already seated.

He, the Emperor of Eastern Qin, and the Empress were the only ones missing.

"The Divine Martial King has arrived..."

After being announced, Qin Wu entered the main hall.

"Greetings, Divine Martial King."

Everyone saluted.

"No gift."

Qin Wu's voice was calm, and his steps seemed slow, but as soon as his voice fell, he had already taken a step and appeared in front of the hall, and then in his place.

Everyone who saw this gasped in shock.

Especially those martial generals with cultivation, upon seeing Qin Wu's move, all understood that Qin Wu's cultivation had probably improved again.

King Zhou and the others were also very surprised; Qin Wu had become even stronger.

It has become even more difficult for them to deal with Qin Wu.

Especially the Prince of Wei and the Prince of Ming, they are still worried about what happened in the imperial study.

They were still scheming how to deal with Qin Wu, but now that they saw Qin Wu was even more powerful, they began to feel uneasy.

Could they really defeat Qin Wu? Deep doubts began to creep into their hearts.

Qin Wu observed all the changes in their expressions.

However, Qin Wu did not want to expose them too early. He wanted to wait until he had the right evidence before crushing them all at once.

Qin Wu had been sitting down for a short while.

"His Majesty has arrived... Her Majesty the Empress has arrived..."

The Emperor and Empress of Eastern Qin entered the main hall hand in hand.

Everyone saluted again.

After the Emperor and Empress of Eastern Qin were seated, the banquet officially began.

Next came the bestowal of titles and rewards, with generals being named and rewarded one by one.

The greatest rewards went to Qin Wu's four great generals and five dragon cavalry generals, all of whom were granted the title of marquis.

Now they have all entered the core of power in Eastern Qin.

At the same time, the title of Marquis of Zhenbei was also established, and this person also made great contributions in this war against the Northern Barbarians.

The ceremony of bestowing rewards lasted a full hour. The important people were rewarded, and the rest would receive their rewards the next day.

It's impossible to dedicate the entire banquet to rewarding meritorious officials.

After the bestowal of titles and honors, there will be song and dance performances, as well as talent shows by unmarried women from various families.

The banquet proceeded smoothly and without any unexpected incidents.

The banquet ended at midnight, and everyone then returned to their residences.

At this moment, Qi Ye came to Qin Wu's side and reported to him.

Tonight is not as harmonious as it seems on the surface; many people are secretly plotting against each other.

However, all their schemes failed, as they were all stopped by the Imperial Guards, which led to the peace tonight.

“Take care of all those people! And give a private warning to those behind them: if this happens again, they won’t live either.”

After listening to Qi Ye's report, Qin Wu coldly gave the order.

What he hates most are those with ulterior motives who only know how to use underhanded tricks all day long.

"Yes."

Qi Ye accepted the order.

Qin Wu then boarded the carriage and left the palace.
