Chapter 167: The Struggle for the Succession of Ten Thousand Families
Sure enough, this guy is really in trouble
No wonder they were so warmly invited to board
After Wan Qingchuan spoke, he looked at Jiu Zhen, as if observing his reaction
Sensing the gaze, Jiu Zhen didn't raise his head: "Don't look at me, my boss has the final say!"
As he spoke, he kicked the ball to Chen Tian
Wan Qingchuan was slightly embarrassed, it was really surprising that these words came out of the mouth of a jade bone realm
Turning his head to look at Chen Tian
"Brother Wan might as well talk about something first!"
Wan Qingchuan pondered for a moment and considered the wording
"My Wanjia is still martial, no matter what is solved by force, this rule has been set since the ancestors of Wanjia established themselves in Tianlei City.
Due to an injury in the early years of my family, the head of the family needs to concentrate on recuperation over the years, and he is more and more unable to exert himself for family affairs, and he needs an heir to act as the head of the family!
According to convention, the heir is generally the eldest son, but the family allows challenges, and once someone challenges them, then they must compete fairly. The winner is the heir!
This time the situation is special, due to the large number of challengers, so the head of the family has started the battle of the ten thousand families, all the descendants of the ten thousand families can participate, and the winner of the battle can become the real heir of the ten thousand families! The family will focus on cultivating to become the next master of the ten families!"
Chen Tian raised his eyebrows: "You are the eldest son?"
Who knows, Wan Qingchuan actually shook his head, his expression was slightly bitter: "Originally, it was, but in the last battle for the head of the family, the position of the head of the family was snatched away by the second uncle." So now I'm just a challenger, in order to reclaim our place!"
This made Chen Tian a little surprised, he originally thought that Wan Qingchuan was the side of the guard, but he didn't expect to be a challenger
Chen Tian can also understand his mentality, who doesn't want the power of the head of the family?
"Outsiders are allowed to participate in this battle for succession?Besides, with the status of your family, it's not a problem to find a few Jade Bone Realms, right?"
This kind of challenge is usually participated in by their own children, and outsiders will not participate in anything, not to mention, since the Wan family is a wealthy family in Tianlei City, how can the connections be extraordinary?
"This battle for the succession is different from the previous ones! Every participant can invite three foreign aids! And these three foreign aides cannot be from the Wan family, and they cannot be more than 20 years old! This time they are not relying on their own strength, so they dare to make a request!"
Chen Tian rubbed his eyebrows lightly, this kind of family dispute, he didn't want to interfere, the experience of the Heavenly Sword Kingdom made him a little more cautious
Wan Qingchuan looked at Jiu Zhen and then at Chen Tian
"If this Nine True Friend can help, I will be rewarded with a lot of money!"
"I'm afraid we can't do anything about this matter, we need to hurry, and we won't stay in the Heavenly Thunder Country for long, so in this matter, Brother Wan should ask another master!"
Chen Tian refused, stood up and walked out
"This meat is good, thank you for your hospitality!" Jiu Zhen hurriedly got up, grabbed two large pieces of river whale meat in his hand, shook it at Wan Qingchuan, thanked him, and left with Chen Tian
Wan Qingchuan also expected this situation, but he was still slightly disappointed
When Chen Tian refused, he was ready to be driven out of the big ship, but Wan Qingchuan did not do this, but instead entertained them more warmly
Even if he knew what he wanted, Chen Tian still had a very good impression of Wan Qingchuan
The next day, when the sky was bright
The width of the entire Zu River suddenly narrowed
The ship passed through a heavily guarded port
After the port, the entire Zu River was divided into five major tributaries
The big ship chose one of them and slowly sailed in
When you enter here, you can clearly see that there is a lot more life on the surface of the river when you look through the window
From time to time, you can see passing ships.
Chen Tian and Jiuzhen both came to the deck to watch the wind, and Wan Qingchuan stepped forward to talk warmly
But there was no mention of the battle
"Two, after the port, it is the scope of my Heavenly Thunder Country! That port is not only used to defend against foreign enemies, but also to keep the great evil things in the ancestral river out of the outer river, and it is much safer to enter here!
However, there are still many dangers in this inland river, so except for those with high strength, few people will travel alone. ”
Wan Qingchuan explained with a smile that he did see a lot of scenery along the way. And the further downstream, the narrower the width of the ancestral river, and later it was fixed at a width of several hundred zhang, which is similar to the width of the border river
You can see the cities and towns on both sides of the river, and you can see the busy people of Tianlei country
Half a day later
Chen Tian could clearly feel that the number of boats on the river had risen to an astonishing number
Follow these ships all the way
In the distance, where the water and the sky meet, an unimaginably large ship lies in the water!
The so-called private ship under his feet is like the gap between an ant and an elephant
This is the real giant ship, towering into the sky, like a mountain like a peak
Around it, there are countless ships such as Wanjia private boats, and the number of crucian carp crossing the river is not enough to describe its sheer number
"That's?" Chen Tian had a guess in his heart, but he couldn't help but ask
Wan Qingchuan smiled slightly, and there was pride in his heart: "That is the capital of my Heavenly Thunder Country, Heavenly Thunder City!"
Chen Tian was shocked by the scene in front of him, such a skill is really not small, it is worthy of being a country that has experienced four wars of the Nine Kingdoms, and the background is extraordinary
Jiuzhen knocked on it and was surprised: "With such a big ship, can you travel?"
Wan Qingchuan shook his head: "I don't know, this city has been like this since I was born, it has never moved, but according to rumors, this is a real ship, and it should be able to sail!"
Soon, the big ship approached Tianlei City
There are countless small ports scattered around Tianlei City, and these ports are small oases, and it is unknown whether they are natural or artificial
After parking the boat, Chen Tian and Jiuzhen slowly entered the Heavenly Thunder City with the people of the Wan family on a shuttle ship specially used to travel between Tianlei City and the port
The appearance of Tianlei City is a ship, and its gate is also very cleverly arranged, placed at the bottom of the huge ship, with a total of two lanes. When I got closer, I realized that the hull of the huge ship was pitch black, and I don't know what material it was used, but it looked very hard
After passing through the gates, the group came to a platform that, according to the location, was supposed to be in the belly of the ship. Although there was no sunlight, countless unknown stones were placed around it, and the bright light emitted made the belly of the ship not look dark at all!
The platform is followed by a series of steps, and there are many people going up and down the city and out of the city, but these steps do not seem crowded
It took about half a pillar of incense for everyone to see the sun again
When I arrived here, there was also a city gate, which was heavily guarded and strictly checked the past warriors
Wan Qingchuan led everyone to go first
When the gate guard saw it, he immediately smiled, nodding his head
"Young Master Chuan, have you come back from going to sea? These two look very raw, I don't know what it is?"
As he spoke, he glanced at Chen Tian and Jiuzhen in the crowd
"These two are my friends, I have already checked it, there is no problem, Wang Shoubei might as well check it?"
"How dare you, since Chuan Shao has checked it, then there is no problem!" The guard hurriedly smiled and waved his hand: "When I saw Chuan Shao coming, I didn't hurry up and let him go!"
The guards made a gesture of invitation, and Wan Qingchuan led people into the city by himself
The guard looked at the backs of the people and beckoned one of his men to come over
"Go and tell Yan Shao, just say that Chuan Shao brought back two strangers!"
The scene inside the city is no different from that of other castles
When you are inside, you can't feel that you are in a huge ship, as if it is an ordinary capital!
There are also walls in all directions, and the streets are also paved with bluestone.
Chen Tian really opened his eyes this time, there is no difference between the land under his feet, even there are high mountains and peaks in the distance, he can vaguely see the green on them, and even the plants can grow in Si
Wanfu is located in the Xicheng District of Tianlei City
It covers a wide area, and in the house, there are rockeries and flowing waters, many servants, and a private garden
Judging from the attitude of the King of the City Gate, it seems that the status of the Wan Family is still very unusual in Tianlei City
Chen Tian and Jiuzhen were arranged in a good wing room in the backyard
Wan Qingchuan went to his own life
After many days of traveling, Chen Tian was also a little tired, so he fell asleep directly
By the time I woke up again, it was already late at night
I got up and looked at the night, it was nearly three watches
Come to the courtyard to breathe, the night breeze is blowing, and the moist water vapor is slightly carried with it
"Who?"
Chen Tian suddenly turned his head and looked at the canopy of a large tree
Sou
There, a dark shadow flickered and disappeared quickly
Chen Tian frowned slightly, he didn't pursue, at this moment, he was living elsewhere, and he still needed to know how to be polite, and it would not be good to chase rashly, disturbing the people of the Wan family
"When we first came here, we didn't provoke anyone, so how could anyone secretly probe on us?"
The first thing he thought of was Wan Qingchuan, but he felt that it was unlikely, the latter did not need to do so.
Chen Tian shook his head, anyway, he couldn't stay here for a few days, and after the two of them rested, they would leave, even if someone was staring, it didn't matter
Following
Chen Tian got up very early
Wan Qingchuan also found the wing room early
Morning tea was delivered in person
With a familiar look, the three of them ate together
Then Wan Qingchuan used the grounds of being familiar with the customs of the Tianlei Country
Take the two of them to visit Tianlei City
Strictly speaking, this was the first time that Chen Tian had entered the capital of a country in the true sense of the word
It has to be said that the prosperity of this capital is extraordinary
Even if Jiuhua City was located at the junction of four countries, there were many business trips, but the prosperity and noise still couldn't reach this Thunder City
The street comes and goes, bustling, with shops on both sides, vendors all over, and all kinds of shouting voices abound, so it's not lively
Chen Tian's heart suddenly moved slightly, and he asked
"Dare to ask, is there a Fengyi Building in Thunder City this day?"
"That's natural, Fengyi Towers are all over the Nine Kingdoms, how can I, as the capital, not have a branch of Fengyi Tower, you guys are late, otherwise you can catch up with the annual Fengyi Building discount!"
Chen Tian shook his head, there was no accident, he had known this news for a long time, just to confirm it, it seems that Fengyilou is indeed distributed everywhere
I can't help but be a little surprised in my heart that Feng Yilou's background can achieve the fact that every city has branches, what kind of huge force is this!
