Chapter 468: Dark Clouds

For Xia Shumei, kowtowing to Hongchen is very aggrieved, but it is nothing, but her kind of behavior even makes competitors look at it, which is absolutely unbearable. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xia Shumei suddenly felt that her chest was burning, her face was steaming, and she subconsciously gritted her teeth, biting the corners of her mouth to blood.

But at this time, the county lord of Rong'an didn't say a word, she hesitated for a long time, but she didn't even have the courage to get up.

In the final analysis, Xia Shumei is still a smart person, she knows what it means to bully the weak and fear the hard, she never gets along with herself, she is proud on weekdays, that is because she feels that she has the qualifications to be proud, but she is proud of the county lord who is close to the emperor, and she is definitely looking for death.

And she knew in her heart that what she did just now, although it would not be said to offend the county lord of Rong'an too much, it must have also made the county lord very unhappy.

Xia Shumei took a deep breath, listened but didn't listen, lowered her head, but couldn't help but secretly hate - since it was Xia Hongchen, the lord of Rong'an, she must have received the invitation, but she didn't take it out, if she took it out earlier, how could she ......

"Tsk, it's really interesting, a scene that is rare to see in the ages!"

The person who spoke soon appeared in front of everyone, and looked at Hongchen with curiosity, although he didn't know the exact identity of Hongchen, but he could make Xia Shumei kneel, it was not easy to think about it, and the person who came was also very polite, and made a salute, and did not ask the identity of the other party, but smiled brightly, and said with three points of flattery: "This nobleman, are you planning to enter the mountain?" It's not safe to go into the mountains at this time, why don't you follow us? ”

The group of people around them, young and old, bared their teeth, and suddenly felt that this year's future patriarch selection seemed to be going to be a little messy.

Hongchen also smiled, and was slightly taken aback when he glanced at this person, very similar to Xia Chengzu, but back then, the world said that Xia Chengzu was honest and honest, a kind person, and never argued with others.

In front of this, it doesn't seem appropriate to say that he is honest and honest.

However, Hongchen didn't care, and turned his head to look at Xia Tong: "Don't leave yet?" ”

Xia Tong hurriedly nodded like pounding garlic: "Go, go." ”

With that, the two of them were leaving.

The young people of the Xia family were at a loss for a while.

The old man next to him sighed, glanced at Hongchen, and hesitated: "Since you are the lord of Rong'an, it naturally doesn't matter." ”

The two of them walked slowly and leisurely, and many Xia family members came one after another, although they didn't see the cause and effect, but they also knew Hongchen's identity, of course, they didn't dare to stop it, they all looked weird.

"She's really here?"

"This experience, is it possible that she will also participate, that, that ......"

"How could the elders send her an invitation?"

Everyone had a thought in their hearts, if she really came out on top, and the future patriarch would be her, how would it be good!

The people present who can participate in this competition are all juniors cultivated by the Xia family, no matter which one wins, although some people will not be convinced, it will not cause a big storm, but if Hongchen becomes the future patriarch, I am afraid no one will be reconciled.

Why!

Her status is high, but she has never contributed to the Xia family, and she doesn't even know if the surname Xia still wants it, where can she afford the position of patriarch!

For a moment, many people frowned.

The old man who was still the leader snorted and glanced at them: "Do your business well, don't think nonsense, we are the Xia family, we attach importance to the position of the patriarch, and the good court lord is not appropriate, will he be willing to come and get involved in our family's affairs?" I'm afraid that this position will be given away, and no one will accept it! ”

After a reprimand, the old people put all the juniors who participated in the training into the mountain.

"Hey."

In fact, as the old men of the Xia family, they knew that the group of elders above had moved their minds to some extent, and they had the idea of trying to let Hongchen take over the position of patriarch, and the juniors might not be able to see that they could already feel the difficulties faced by the Xia family.

A few years ago, the weapons refined by the Xia family had accidents one after another, and the Xia An patriarch worked hard to calm down all the turmoil, but the Xia family was also broken.

This year is even more outrageous, the sword house that has been passed down from generation to generation in the family suddenly had an accident, the magic circle inside was broken, and several ancient sword refining furnaces stopped fire at the same time, and it seemed that they would no longer want to continue working.

Their Xia family can have today's prestige, and the craftsmanship of building weapons is not bad, but they can produce so many spiritual weapons, it still depends on the treasures left by their ancestors, and the most important thing is the sword refining furnace hidden deep in the sword house.

As soon as there was a problem with the sword refining furnace, the entire Xia family was shaken, and the elders studied it day and night, but they still couldn't study anything, only guessing that it might have been used for too long, and there was no maintenance, and it began to age, but unfortunately this thing was passed down from the ancestors, but how to maintain it, how to repair it No one knows, the formation lines on it, the spiritual master in the family can't even understand it, let alone repair it.

Now it can barely support, although the number of spiritual weapons has been greatly reduced, but even if it is a mortal soldier, the quality of what they create is not bad, that is, in the past, the family is not able to produce spiritual weapons at any time, the big deal is that the elders with good craftsmanship this year are lazy, there are not many high-quality products, and outsiders do not know, and they dare not underestimate the Xia family.

After all, unlike other inherited families, the Xia family relies on craftsmanship and can rely on unique craftsmanship to stand tall, but once it loses its support, it will definitely fall quickly.

This time the patriarch is replaced, the new patriarch needs to be more status and more capable, Xia Hongchen is a good choice.

First, as the county lord, she has a high status, which can slow down the decline of the Xia family, and secondly, everyone knows that she is a talented spirit master, and luck, if she can restore the sword house to its original appearance, it will really save the entire Xia family.

Of course, there were also some elders who disagreed and felt that it was inappropriate, so although the invitation letter was sent, everyone was still on the sidelines and was not particularly eager.

"It doesn't matter if the county lord of Rong'an is not the patriarch, but it's best not to offend others too much."

The old man's expression darkened, and he even staggered a little.

He was born into the Xia family, and he has seen the infinite scenery of the Xia family, of course, he hopes that this scenery can continue, and it can become more and more prosperous.

During the war back then, the Xia family's status in the Great Zhou was really one of the best.

The thoughts of these Xia family members did not affect Hongchen, and she and Xia Tong's pace was neither fast nor slow, looking around as they walked.

Xia Tong held a bunch of magic weapons in his hand, glared and said tightly: "County Lord, do you want to summon the soul of the time?" I've got a Soul Flag, a Soul Gourd, a Soul Charm, and ......."

"Don't worry."

Hongchen smiled, "Let's take a look first." ”

It was true that his own three souls were missing from his body at that time, but it was hard to say if he was not lost in this place, and he had lost it for so long, and he didn't care about it for a moment, take a look at it slowly.

She was really happy to see it, she had never been into the depths of Yanhui Mountain before, so she didn't care, after all, Yanhui Mountain was not famous, and it shouldn't be a treasure of feng shui, but she really came in at this time, but she was immediately attracted by the picturesque scenery, no wonder the Xia family would place the ancestral tomb here, it was really good.

The capital has been stormy recently, especially around the surrounding mountains and forests, it seems that many ghosts and ghosts have taken action, and even the Xia family has to join in the fun.

Hongchen seems to be leisurely, but Xia Tong is very nervous, muttering and muttering about the Xia family members he saw just now, and he is especially resentful when he talks about Xia Shumei, and he is very critical, what is ruthless, cold-blooded and ruthless, arrogant and difficult to provoke, he clashed with that woman twice, and the other party was defeated, and the bet was a big loss, and unless they didn't meet, they would have to kowtow to the other party when they met.

According to the generation, Xia Shumei is a generation older than Xia Tong.

"Xia Chengzong is not very difficult to deal with, he is exquisite, he is not worse than Senior Brother Shifeng in terms of talent, many elders like him very much, that is, he has a twin brother, there is a slight reduction in this aspect, it doesn't matter, he and Xia Chengzu, that is, his brother is completely different people, no matter how much he looks like a big guy, he can tell it."

Xia Tong glanced left and right a few times, and lowered his voice, "The county lord doesn't know, this time, the Xia family has a moth, so that the children of the family can break into a thousand-year-old tomb in Yanhui Mountain...... There must be a lot of ...... in it."

"Uh, of course, no matter how many treasures there are, their idea is too ugly, it's really shameful, and they say that they can't destroy the peace of their ancestors, they are going to enter people's tombs, and they don't destroy it, just open their eyes and talk nonsense."

Xia Tong chattered, Hongchen looked at him, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "You know a lot." ”

The experience has begun, and the topic naturally does not need to be kept secret, but since it is such an outrageous topic, the Xia family is definitely not willing to let too many people know, and it is very logical to close the mountain and the road, even so, Xia Tong still knows so much, so it can be seen that even if this person is a side branch, his status in the Xia family is not low.

Also, Xia Chengzu actually has twin brothers, when he was the patriarch in his previous life, he had never heard of such a person.

Hongchen also thought about it for a while, and didn't think it was particularly strange, if Xia Chengzu succeeded in the race for patriarch, his younger brother would fail, just an ordinary Xia family member, the Xia family counted a lot, and even the elders were not complete, let alone others.

After walking for a while, Xia Tong was so tired that he was snorting, his mouth was dry, Hongchen squinted, and smiled, "Sit down and rest for a while." ”

Xia Tong was like hearing the sound of heaven, found a slightly flat bluestone and sat down with a plop, and threw the luggage in his hand on the ground.

The luggage alone was enough to exhaust him half to death, not to mention the mountain road.

As soon as he sat down, there was a stumble next to him, and someone came again, Xia Tong raised his eyes and looked at it, and his face suddenly felt a little bad.

It was Xia Shumei, uh, and Xia Chengzong, these two groups of people actually got together.

Xia Shumei took the lead, and instead of bringing her maids by her side, she was followed by a thin middle-aged man with a mustache, carrying a pair of gourds in his hand and a compass in his waist.

As soon as this person came, he glanced at Hongchen with a smile, looking a little vigilant. Xia Shumei's face was not very good, she was obviously not happy to see Hongchen, and when she saw her now, she could only salute with resignation.

Hongchen didn't embarrass her this time, nodded slightly and let it go, Xia Shumei breathed a sigh of relief, hesitated, and sat down against a tree, although she didn't want to rest in this place a little, but she had already come over, and it was also embarrassing to say that she was going to leave at this time.

Xia Chengzong was different from her, and he was very happy to see Hongchen and the two, and they were still far away, so he laughed and talked to Xia Tong.

A gust of wind blew, Hongchen suddenly raised his hand, the silver long whip was thrown up, and in an instant, the bones were sluggish, Xia Shumei rolled down from the slope of the mountain, planted her head in the mud, and ate a mouthful, she snorted twice, barely raised her head, with an angry face, even at Hongchen, she couldn't help but want to scold, but before the scolding came out, she choked back all of a sudden.

Everyone was dumbfounded - on the big tree where Xia Shumei was sitting, there were dense poisonous snakes, spitting letters, and walking on the trunk and branches.

Xia Shumei's whole body stiffened, Xia Chengzong also broke out in a cold sweat, he was only a few steps away from the tree, he couldn't care about anything else, he half lay on the ground and rubbed it away as fast as he could, he didn't think that the little snake medicine he was carrying on his body could really make all the poisonous snakes retreat.

“…… Thank you. ”

Xia Shumei was so suffocated, and she had palpitations, but she still trembled and thanked Hongchen.

Hongchen waved his hand, looking Xia Shumei up and down, his eyes were surprised, as if he was looking at some magical species, and she was uncomfortable: "County Lord? ”

"I see that you are covered with dark clouds, and you are going to be unlucky, I am afraid that the next journey will be smashed by rocks in the mountains, flooded by water, and disasters, so it is better to turn back."

Hongchen said with a smile.

Xia Shumei took a deep breath and didn't smash her fist on Hongchen's head: "Don't bother the county lord." ”

Hongchen sighed: "Or you will go with me?" Although there is no guarantee that you will not have an accident, there is more or less a response. ”

“…… Don't dare to bother the county lord. ”

Xia Shumei was even angrier in her heart, almost gritting her teeth.

Seeing that she insisted, Hongchen had no choice but to persuade more, but in the end, her eyes were full of compassion, which made her almost cry.

With this breath, she couldn't even sit still, Xia Shumei stood up, cleaned up the dirt on her body, barely coped with a few words, and then said goodbye and walked forward in great strides.

"Watch your step."

Before Hongchen's voice fell, she stumbled under her feet, stumbled and grabbed the tree next to her so as not to fall.

"Watch your head."

Click, a stone fell from his head, rubbed his scalp and fell to the ground, although it was not smashed, but it still drew a bloody mark, which made Xia Shumei's eyes flash with tears. (To be continued.) )
