Chapter 42: Family Chronology
"Hmph, you know I'm scared. Seeing Yu Xuanji's frightened appearance, Xiang Yu couldn't help but say a little proudly, Xiaoxiao, a little girl who doesn't know the world, is not able to treat you well in minutes.
Yu Xuanji was sincerely afraid of Xiang Yu's punishment, not to mention that her current writing speed was not very proficient, if she was really asked to copy "Zhuang Sheng" ten times, she would not be able to finish copying it in two or three days.
Thinking of this, Yu Xuanji stared at Xiang Yu for a few seconds, didn't say anything, and then opened the medicinal food and began to chew and eat slowly.
People are under the eaves, how can they not bow their heads, she still obediently chose to be silent.
"Childe, steward Xiang Wen is here. At this time, a guard hurriedly ran in and reported to Xiang Yu.
"yes, I see. Xiang Yu responded.
Then, the guards saluted and retreated, Xiang Yu got up and said, "I'll go out and have a look, you continue to eat yours." ”
After speaking, Xiang Yu walked out of the living room.
After a while, Xiang Yu and Xiang Wen came to the living room together, talking and laughing.
"For more than a month, the mining of the red crystal mine in the west of the city has been very stable, and it is believed that the energy will continue to produce spar in the near future. By then, the mine's income will rival that of all other industries. Xiang Wen said with emotion, and told Xiang Yu about the changes these days.
Xiang Yu also nodded in agreement, and added: "Thanks to the additional manpower sent by the clan in Luyang City, otherwise those red-eyed guys would be endless." ”
"Yes, although they are all a group of young people, they don't dare to play any tricks with you on the surface, but secretly they don't know how many calculations there are, which makes you annoyed. Xiang Wen said with a look of disgust, since Xiang Yu won the competition, it didn't take long for the red crystal ore in the depths of the hematite area to be exposed, and it spread throughout the entire Luyang City in less than a day, and even the people in the surrounding cities knew more or less about it, and everyone wanted to get a piece of the pie.
Xiang Wen then said: "But with the power of my Xiang family there, they only dare to make trouble, and I believe it will stop soon." And in order to produce a large number of red crystal mines, I also recruited many more miners in several nearby cities, and the price was twice as high. The effect is also obvious, most people have reached an astonishing amount of about 2,000 catties a day, which is also thanks to the family's great improvement in the protection measures of the mine, and the safety of the miners has been greatly guaranteed. ”
"That's good, they're all a bunch of people who want to support their families, and we can't treat them badly. Xiang Yu nodded approvingly.
"By the way, this is the red crystal ore that you asked me to ask me before, and I brought it to you. Xiang Wen suddenly thought of what Xiang Yu asked him to do a few days ago, and hurriedly took out a piece of adult-sized red crystal from the storage bag, which had been polished very smoothly around it, and it had obviously taken a lot of exercises.
Xiang Yu looked overjoyed when he saw this, and thanked: "Thank you, Uncle Wen, in fact, this red crystal ore doesn't need to be polished so smoothly, you can do anything." ”
Xiang Wen smiled kindly after hearing this: "It's not in the way, and such a red crystal ore is easy to temper, so that the refiner can create a good weapon." There is also this piece of red crystal ore that is just 500 catties, and it is not a big problem to put it in an ordinary storage bag. ”
Xiang Wen thought that Xiang Yu wanted the red crystal ore to be used to forge weapons, so he specially helped him polish it, and the general storage bag can only store about a thousand catties of items at most, if it exceeds this weight, the storage bag will easily collapse, and the contents will be gone. So I got a 500 catties of red crystal ore.
"Well, I'll put it away first. Xiang Yu didn't explain much, the red crystal ore was used by him for cultivation, but it was hard to believe it when he said it, it was too sensational.
"Moreover, there are two more things I want to tell you, Childe, because you have been cultivating before, I was afraid of disturbing you, so I have not been in a hurry to say it. Xiang Wen said after seeing Xiang Yu put away the red crystal ore.
"Hmm, two things?" you say. Xiang Yu looked at Xiang Wen suspiciously, and his expression of wanting to stop talking let Xiang Yu know that things might not be very good.
Xiang Wen didn't rush to speak, but looked at Yu Xuanji behind Xiang Yu, and the meaning was self-evident.
Xiang Yu understood and said with a smile: "It's okay, Xuan Ji is not an outsider, Uncle Wen, you can rest assured." ”
"Ao, that's me being too careful, but Childe, your vision is really good, it's a blessing to be able to eat, and it's good to have a baby in the future." Xiang Wen misunderstood what Xiang Yu meant and said with a smile.
"Poof!"
I don't know if I heard Xiang Wen's words, Yu Xuanji on the side suddenly choked, her face was flushed, and she almost buried her face in the jade box with her head down.
"No, no, no, Uncle Wen, you misunderstood, we are not what you think, she ......" Xiang Yu was stunned and hurriedly wanted to explain.
"Alas, nice girl, it's a pity that the uncle didn't have time to see it. Without waiting for Xiang Yu to finish explaining, Xiang Wen shook his head with a sigh.
"Uncle, what's wrong with him, what's wrong with him? This is impossible! Father, he is a powerhouse in the Cave Void Realm, one of the four great martial kings of Chaoge, and there are a few people who can be his opponents. Xiang Yu, who originally wanted to explain, suddenly went blank in his mind after hearing Xiang Wen's words, and shouted excitedly, a little chaotic.
"No, no, no, Childe, calm down, you misunderstood what I meant. Xiang Wen hurriedly comforted Xiang Yu, both of them misunderstood each other's words.
Hearing this, Xiang Yu immediately calmed down, only to hear Xiang Wen continue: "Uncle has only been practicing for more than forty years, his martial arts are world-renowned, he is already a strong martial king at a young age, and he is chasing after Lord Wuhou, how can there be anything." It's just that the uncle is no longer in Chaoge City, or even in the territory of Dayue. ”
"Not in Chaoge, the New Year is coming, where is my father going?" Xiang Yu wondered, but when he thought of the New Year, he already had a guess in his heart.
"This may also be where the clansmen are confused, and the uncle didn't say anything when he left, and took away the family's ancestral weapon, the Divine Jade Soul Breaking Knife, which made several elders of the family quarrel, and said that they wanted the head of the family to recover the ancestral weapon. Xiang Wen said helplessly, the ancestral weapon was taken away, which allowed the people who split the family to find an opportunity and kept holding on to it, so that most of the clansmen knew about it, if outsiders knew that the ancestral weapon of the Xiang family was not there, wouldn't it be a chance.
"A group of bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, grandpa is very honest every time he goes out of the customs, although it is wrong for my father to take away the ancestral weapon privately, but they are so stupid that everyone knows that they are so noisy!" Xiang Yu scolded angrily, he has long had a lot of complaints about those who are separated from the family, and no matter how precious the ancestral weapon is, it is still a weapon, it was originally used by people, and it has been provided in the family for so long, and it is not too wrong to take it out and play with it.
Xiang Wen also nodded approvingly: "I just don't know what the uncle is doing with the ancestral weapon, is there any big enemy." ”
Xiang Yu didn't say anything after hearing this, because he knew what his father was doing, he must have gone to the Situ family in the Central Domain to bring back his mother, but Situ Xuerou married and had children without permission, which had violated the clan rules of the Situ family, and he had already been locked up and grounded, and there must be people from the Cheng family watching outside, just to prevent Xiang Yu's mother from being rescued, and if he wants to rescue people from inside, it must be a thousand difficulties, Xiang Yu can't help but worry about his father Xiang Tiandong.
"There's one more thing about you, Childe. Xiang Wen didn't dwell on the previous question, and then he was about to say the second thing.
"I, what's the matter with me?" Xiang Yu was stunned for a moment, and then asked.
"It's a family year, and this time you're going back to participate. Xiang Wen said.
Xiang Yu couldn't help but smile and said, "Isn't it just eighteen years old this year, why do I still have to participate in the annual competition." ”
The Xiang family has a rule that all children of the family who are over the age of fourteen and under the age of eighteen must participate in the annual clan competition, Xiang Yu has only participated in the annual competition when he was fifteen years old because of his own cultivation, and it is no accident that he successfully won the penultimate place, so he abstained from participating in the second time.
"Originally, I didn't need it, but the second elder suggested that now that you have broken through the shackles and your cultivation is advancing by leaps and bounds, you should be allowed to participate in this year's annual ratio to make up for the previous two absences. Xiang Wen hesitated for a moment, and then told the truth.
After listening, Xiang Yu's face turned cold, didn't it embarrass him, it's okay to win, but he may also be said to be bullied by the big; if he loses, someone will definitely scold him for being a waste, even the younger brothers and sisters who are one or two years younger can't beat him, anyway, he is not a person inside and out.
Thinking of this, Xiang Yu laughed even more angrily.
