Ping County.

A remote county hundreds of kilometers away from the capital of the western provinces, which requires a train to a car and then an ox cart.

Here, there are no places of interest, there are no big people, the population is less than 600,000, the transportation facilities are backward, the infrastructure is dilapidated, it is an out-and-out small city.

When Qin Fan and the three of them arrived at the county seat of Pingxian County, it was already late at night on the second day after leaving Beijing.

In just over an hour, it will be the time specified in the letter to invite the Wei family into the ancestral home.

They wandered the streets of Pingxian County, hesitating whether to rush to the designated place now, so as not to delay time.

"The Wei family is really arrogant, they took the initiative to send invitations to people, but they didn't send anyone to pick them up, and they had to let us go by ourselves, which is also the hospitality of the ancient family?"

Qin Fan pursed his lips, Wei Zipei's letter clearly marked that after they arrived in Ping County, please go to the designated place by themselves, and be polite, but Qin Fan did not see the slightest sign of politeness.

"The map does not show the so-called village called Wei Village, but according to the latitude and longitude mark on the letter and the map corresponding, the so-called Wei Village should be a village called Cheling on the map, 1860 kilometers away from the county seat, the map shows that only 80 kilometers of the distance has roads to go, and the rest should be mountainous and have no way to go. ”

Ying Junyao held two mobile phones in her hand, one showing latitude and longitude, and the other showing a map, she compared the latitude and longitude coordinates in the letter with the location of the map, and finally determined what Wei Village was in her heart.

"So off-the-beaten-path?"

Qin Fan paused for a moment, "Then what about their food, clothing, housing and transportation, they can't rely on air transportation every day, right?"

In fact, the current situation of the Wei family is most in line with the impression that Qin Fan had in his mind when he first heard about the existence of the Gu family.

Since it is called the ancient family, it should have no quarrel with the world, transcendent from the world, which is like the other three families, fighting openly and secretly, fighting for the sake of interests, and breaking the blood flow, there is no bearing of the ancient family at all.

"Buy a car, let's drive, more than 200 kilometers, a tank of fuel is enough, if there is really no way ahead, we can also walk over without delay. ”

Ying Junyao was standing next to her in a white coat, the moonlight was hazy on her body, and her whole body was full of lifting.

Qin Fan looked at her curiously and asked, "Haven't you thought that the Wei family's invitation to us this time may be a trap?" After all, if you want to kill someone, I am afraid that there will not even be a corpse left." ”

Ying Junyao was overly enthusiastic about the Wei family's invitation, she was just a powerless girl, in this kind of place, was she really not worried at all?

Ying Junyao glanced at him and said, "I believe that the Wei family will not, if the Wei family wants, they can have 10,000 ways to kill the three of us, and they will not let Wei Zipei write to you personally, you underestimate the strength of the Wei family, and they still disdain to do this to you." ”

"Okay. Qin Fan nodded.

Because it was late at night and a small county town, Qin Fan took them to look for a long time but did not find a place to rent a car, and finally had no choice but to find a hotel to rest first, wait for the next day's dawn, and then go around the county town to see if they could find a car.

Next.

Early morning. All three woke up almost at the same time.

Qin Fan slept on the floor, and Ying Junyao and Bai Pujia slept on the sofa.

The hotel room is sufficient, that is, the toilet in Qin Fan's bedroom is backwater, and when he walks in, he follows up the septic tank, so if there is a way, he can only spend one night with his children.

Qin Fan took the initiative to buy breakfast, and when he ran back with two bags of meat buns and white porridge, Ying Junyao and Bai Pujia were already sitting on a black domineering car and had been waiting for him for a long time.

"Damn, there's such a good car here?"

Qin Fan sat in the car with a fart, and the best thing he saw on the street along the way was a Highlander, a car of this level is indeed rare.

"Don't you know that in this kind of place, luxury cars usually only appear at the door on one occasion?" asked Ying Junyao.

"Where?"

"Bathing center. ”

"The largest bathing center in Ping County is next to it, Jun Yao bought the car for one million, the man didn't even take the things in the car, and left directly after the transfer. Bai Pujia said.

“…… A million to buy a used Highlander, all right. Qin Fan was speechless.

Ying Junyao drove, carrying Qin Fan and Bai Pujia, and went straight to the ancestral land of the Wei family.

Along the way, the yellow sand is everywhere, and there is basically no scenery to see.

Ying Junyao took advantage of the time to roughly explain the current situation of the Wei family to them.

She didn't know much, after all, the Wei family had always been a very detached existence.

Ying Junyao only knew that Sister Wei Zipei was the ninety-seventh generation of the Wei family.

At present, the Wei family is still alive, and there are four generations.

That is to say, at present, these people with the highest rank in the Wei family are all at the level of Wei Zipei's grandfather, over 100 years old, and they are all a group of old antiques, who have been dormant and do not care about the world.

The next generation is Wei Zipei's grandfather's generation, and he is also the current real power controller of the Wei family, but it will not be many years before he will abdicate and hand over the power to the younger generation.

The third generation is Wei Zipei's parents, who are the young Zhuang faction and the backbone of the family.

The contemporary head of the Wei family is Wei Zipei's grandfather, Wei Xun.

I only heard his name, but I didn't see his face.

Even the heads of the other three major families had never looked at him.

It's just rumored that Wei Xun has supreme majesty in the Wei family, and he was born with a different appearance, it is said that as long as he has seen him, he will not be able to have the slightest thought of disobedience, and will only obey his orders, regardless of internal and external.

Qin Fan felt that this must be because the Wei family was too mysterious, so it was passed over, after all, in this era, how could there be any natural differences.

It's just that he was frightened by the Wei family, after all, even a slave of the Wei family can block the joint action of the three ancient families, and it is understandable that he is extremely afraid.

"Qin Fan, I think that this time the Wei family's ancestors invited you to come alone, it may have nothing to do with the battle in the ancient family world, but what problems have arisen within their Wei family, there is something that needs your help, and you have to prepare in advance. ”

Ying Junyao frowned and said.

"The Wei family has something to ask me?" Qin Fan raised his eyebrows, feeling a little incredible.

"Where there are people, there are disputes, I heard that Wei Xun is more than ninety years old this year, and he knows the age of the Mandate of Heaven, according to the clan rules, after the end of the ancestor worship ceremony in these days, it is time to abdicate and make way for Xian, and re-elect the new head of the family. ”
