Article 004 Charter: Si Zheng and Cheng regret

The Huanlu clan was inherited from an earl nobleman in the imperial capital more than a thousand years ago, and the surname Huanlu was given a title to the male earl by the imperial family at the beginning, and later the earl nobleman was expelled from the imperial capital because he violated the precepts of the empire. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Huanlu clan where Huanlu Kanger is located is also not a direct descendant of the original earl noble, but with the efforts of several generations of ancestors, it has gradually caught up with the footsteps of that earl, and even to the generation of Huanlu Zhengxiong, it has also obtained the title of earl recognized by the empire, although it is not a title inherited from generation to generation, but it is also a smash hit nobleman.

It's a pity that the good luck of the Huanlu clan was ended in the generation of Huanlu Zhengxiong, and it was also a force from the imperial capital, which completely cut off the path of the Huanlu clan's continued development, and even from that time on, the Huanlu clan was not as good as the next generation, until today, there are more than 40 people in the whole clan, and even a practitioner above the fifth level of the real human realm has never appeared!

And what puzzles the people of the Huanlu clan the most is that the Huanlu clan is also a clan that has had earls and nobles, and there are records of the development of the clan in the clan, but the only thing missing is the record of the sudden fall of the generation of Huanlu Zhengxiong, as if this period of history was deliberately concealed, and not even the slightest clue can be found.

At the beginning, there were still people in the Huanlu clan to investigate the cause and effect of the matter, but after several death cases, the people of the Huanlu clan also understood that someone was secretly obstructing them from investigating the truth!

What is particularly frightening is that almost all the people of the Huanlu clan who are of the same generation as Huanlu Zhengxiong have been slaughtered, leaving not even a trace of written records.

History has inexplicably appeared a fault, and the Huanlu clan, which should have been completely bloodied by the other party a long time ago, has also survived in such a miraculous way, it seems that in addition to someone secretly attacking the Huanlu clan, there is also a mysterious force that is balancing the other party's scale and preserving the bloodline inheritance of the Huanlu clan.

In short, the Huanlu clan that is still in Chaoyang City, although it is the descendant of the original Huanlu Zhengxiong, but they are confused about everything that happened to Huanlu Zhengxiong's generation, and they don't know what to say.

When Huanlu Kanger took over the Huanlu clan, as the patriarch of the Huanlu clan, he even only knew that he had a great-great-great-grandfather who had been a ruler, and this great-great-grandfather who had been a ruler was called Huanlu Zhengxiong, an earl nobleman!

Except for this pitiful amount of information, he didn't know any other information at all, he only knew that no one believed what he said, because in the city government yamen database of Chaoyang City, there was no information about the chief official of the Huanlu clan, let alone any earls and nobles.

Although some of the words that have been handed down in the market can help the people of the Huanlu clan restore the original truth, since the tragic deaths of the clansmen have occurred in a row, the descendants of the Huanlu clan have completely given up the plan to investigate the truth.

This came and went, and things slowly faded down like this, even the patriarch of Huanlu Kang'er would only shout a few words when he was drunk, 'My great-great-grandfather is the chief official of Chaoyang City', and when he was usually sober, he would never mention these things.

Because even if he stood on the street and swore by his chest, at most he would be regarded as a madman with a sick brain, and would never believe what he said.

Over time, things faded like this, and so did the memories, until now.

Huanlu Kanger took Ma Yuhui to walk through the streets and alleys, walked for more than 20 minutes, and then came to the remote location near the city wall in the west of Chaoyang City, pointing to a dilapidated courtyard in front of the left, his face obviously showed embarrassment and crampedness, he lowered his head and rubbed his hands and said: "Uncle great-grandfather, this is ...... Here it is. ”

Gang Ye told Ma Yuhui that the Huanlu clan, as the clan where the original ruler was located, had a golden courtyard at home, although it was not as large as any courtyard in Tianhe City, but in a place like Habaglo, it was also extremely luxurious.

Unexpectedly, more than 300 years have passed, and the Huanlu clan, which was originally powerful in the city, has been reduced to a situation separated from the slum street, I am afraid that if you are not careful, the Huanlu clan will really disappear!

Looking in the direction that Huanlu Kang'er was pointing, Ma Yuhui nodded without changing his face and said, "Lead the way." ”

"Uncle Great-Grandfather, please." Huanlu Kanger restrained the embarrassment on his face, tried his best to pretend to be serious, and leaned slightly to the front of the void, but invisibly showed a groveling appearance.

All this was seen by Ma Yuhui, but he quietly followed Huanlu Kang'er into the current courtyard of the Huanlu clan, and as soon as he entered the door, he almost immediately smelled an extremely pungent smell.

At this time, Huanlu Kang'er turned around and said with a dry smile: "Let my great-grandfather and uncle laugh, the source of income in the clan is declining, and I have to find another way, the women in the courtyard are dyeing cloth, and there is a small pharmacy in it, boiling medicine." ”

"There's nothing to be ashamed of being self-reliant, and you don't have to think about it." Ma Yuhui nodded lightly and said, "Go in and find a quiet room, I have something to ask you." ”

"Okay, okay, great-grandfather, please come with me." Huanlu Kang'er nodded hurriedly, and continued to take Ma Yuhui towards a room not far away, and when he was halfway there, a woman in her forties wearing a linen cloth came out of a room with a basket of medicinal herbs, and she was obviously stunned when she saw Huanlu Kang'er.

"Master, you don't stay at the city gate at this time, what are you going to do when you come home?" The woman's figure is slightly bloated, but her calloused hands indicate that she is not a pampered woman, but a woman who takes care of the housework.

Hearing this woman's inquiry, Huanlu Kanger did not answer her question, but turned his head to Ma Yuhui and introduced: "Uncle Great-grandfather, this is my inner man, Tang Cuixia. ”

Ma Yuhui nodded lightly and handed a kind smile to the other party.

After introducing Tang Cuixia, Huanlu Kang'er immediately said to Tang Cuixia: "Cuixia, this is the apprentice grandson of our great-great-grandfather of the Huanlu clan, and also our great-grandfather and uncle, his old man is a martial artist who kills the Heavenly Mirror, you still don't salute?" ”

"Huh?" Tang Cuixia, who was holding a basket of medicinal herbs in her arms, was stunned there, and after five seconds of distraction, she hurriedly put down the medicinal herbs in her hand and saluted Ma Yuhui: "Concubine Tang Cuixiang has asked her great-grandfather uncle to say goodbye." ”

"Go down and go about your business." Ma Yuhui accepted the other party's greeting and nodded, "Kang Er and I still have something to say...... By the way, you call all the current clansmen of the Huanlu clan back, I have other orders. ”

Obviously, Ma Yuhui has now regarded himself as their great-grandfather and uncle, and has completely entered this role.

However, after Tang Cuixia gave the salute, a suspicious look obviously flashed on her face, in fact, the reason why she felt suspicious was very simple, Ma Yuhui looked really young! This man is great-grandfather?

With this layer of doubt in my heart, the reaction will naturally be half a beat slower. But Huanlu Kang'er, who had seen Ma Yuhui's majesty with his own eyes, glanced at Tang Cuixia, and there was a faint taste of reproach.

Sensing her husband's eyes, Tang Cuixia reacted and hurriedly responded: "Uncle Great-grandfather, please rest assured, before you and the head of the family come out, the concubine will definitely arrange everything!" ”

"Okay, okay, you can go down and do things quickly." Huanlu Kanger was afraid that his wife's performance would arouse Ma Yuhui's dissatisfaction, and after seeing her nodding in response, he was also busy pushing Tang Cuixia away.

More than half a minute later, Ma Yuhui and Huanlu Kang'er entered a room in the courtyard of the Huanlu clan, and after taking their seats, Ma Yuhui said to Huanlu Kang'er: "Do you still have concerns about my identity and origin?" ”

"Huh?" Huanlu Kang'er, who was about to get up to pour tea for Ma Yuhui, was startled, and he quickly shook his head and denied it: "No, no, how can I doubt the identity of my great-grandfather...... You're mistaken, you're mistaken......"

"It's okay, it's right to be suspicious." Ma Yuhui smiled indifferently and said, "Let me ask you, is there a record in the genealogy of the Huanlu clan that under the knees of your great-great-grandfather Huanlu Zhengxiong, there is a daughter with her mother's surname, named Lian Heng Miaoxin?" ”

"This ...... There is indeed the name of this elder on the genealogy, but it ......" Huanlu Kang'er had a little drum in his heart, and he hesitated for more than ten seconds before he cautiously got up and asked: "It's just that I don't know ...... great-grandfather uncle and her"

"Lian Heng Miaoxin is my master's wife." Ma Yuhui said in a calm tone: "She is my master's wife. ”

"Huh?!" Huanlu Kang'er was really dumbfounded at this time, and he almost blurted out: "Could it be that your great-grandfather, your master, is the Cheng Sizheng who abandoned his wife?!" ”

"What? Cheng Sizheng? Ma Yuhui was also stunned, "It's true to abandon his wife and children, but are you sure that the name recorded on the genealogy is Cheng Sizheng and not Cheng ......."

"Ahem!" Without waiting for Ma Yuhui to say his words, Gang Ye coughed heavily twice in his mind, and then explained more or less embarrassedly: "That, Ma boy, Cheng Si is the pseudonym I used back then......"

"......" Ma Yuhui immediately closed his mouth, his face was somewhat dry and panicked, this Gangye is really messing around, people even gave birth to his child, and he actually used a pseudonym!

Under Huanlu Kang'er's confused gaze, Ma Yuhui also coughed lightly and covered up: "Cough, oh, I remembered wrong, my master was indeed called Cheng Sizheng, and later changed his name, called Cheng Regret." ”

"Cheng regrets?" Gang Ye and Huanlu Kang'er repeated the name given by Ma Yuhui almost at the same time, and Huanlu Kang'er blinked and said, "I don't know why my great-grandfather's master came up with such a name?" ”

"I guess I'm regretting my decision." Ma Yuhui shook his head and sighed lightly, and said: "Okay, let's not discuss this issue for now, I came to Chaoyang City this time, mainly because I was entrusted by my master to take a look at the situation of the Huanlu clan, if possible, I will help you appropriately, but how far you can go depends on your own efforts...... Uh, what are you doing looking at me like that?! ”

As he spoke, Ma Yuhui noticed that Huanlu Kang'er was looking at him with an extremely strange look, and he couldn't help glaring at him with some annoyance, and said, "Listen to me carefully!" ”

"Uh......" The distracted Huanlu Kang'er was awakened at this time, and he hurriedly said: "Uncle Great-Grandfather, could it be that your master Cheng Si ...... No, it's Cheng regrets, Cheng regrets that he is still alive now?! ”

"How?" Ma Yuhui frowned, "Is there anything wrong with this?" ”

"Yes, yes." Huanlu Kang'er nodded quickly and said: "When great-great-grandma and grandmother passed away, they left a very strange metal box, saying that only great-great-grandfather and your master Cheng regretted that it could be opened, and there were some things left in it, and I wanted to hand it over to great-grandfather and your master to see!" ”

"Great-great-grandaunt and grandmother also said that Cheng regretted that he would definitely come back, because he dropped something here at that time!"

"Dropped something here?" Ma Yuhui said in confusion: "Do you know what it is?" ”

"I don't know." Huanlu Kang'er smiled bitterly: "It's not a secret, when this metal box was passed down in the clan, several patriarchs tried to open it, but all of them ended in failure, and they were also afraid that violent dismantling would destroy the contents of the box, so they kept it until now." ”

"Where's the box now?" Ma Yuhui got up and said, "Is it inconvenient for Fang to show me?" ”

“…… Of course. Huanlu Kanger hesitated for a moment, then nodded reluctantly, and then he said, "However, before I take the box, I dare to ask my great-grandfather a few questions......

"Just ask." Ma Yuhui nodded slightly, showing no signs of weakness.

Huanlu Kang'er pondered for a moment and said: "When the great-great-great-grandaunt and grandmother of Heng Miaoxin and Cheng regretted the separation of great-grandaunt and grandfather, great-great-grandma and grandmother were already pregnant with great-great-grandpgrande's child, when the two elders were separated, did great-great-grandpa and grandpa leave something to say how to settle his child?" ”

Ma Yuhui was stunned for a moment, and then he heard what Gang Ye said in his mind, and he learned to say: "When my master and my wife were separated, my master told my master that after the child was born, let him take the surname of his master, and when the child grew up, he would teach him to cultivate, and one day the child would break through to the Heaven Killing Mirror, so let him go to find my master in the way my master left." ”

"If this kid can't break through to the Heaven Killing Mirror, let him be a rich man with peace of mind, and live this life in peace."

"That's right." Huanlu Kangerden believed seven points, and he couldn't help but nod and said: "Actually, the children born to great-great-grandparents were not one, but two, a male and a female dragon and phoenix fetus!" ”

"Uh......" Ma Yuhui was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked: "Then are the descendants of these two children still alive now?" ”

"It's all here, but I've moved to Luohe City." Huanlu Kang'er nodded and said: "In recent years, their lives have not been satisfactory, some time ago, the patriarch of the Lianheng clan also came here to ask for help, but it is a pity that our Huanlu clan itself is also on the verge of being difficult to protect, and it is really powerless to help the Lianheng clan anymore." ”

"Is this Lianheng clan the descendant of my master?" Ma Yuhui asked, "Are they the descendants of those two children?" ”

"Not exactly." Huanlu Kanger shook his head and said: "This is the descendant of that boy, the girl married into the imperial capital, according to the records of the clan, she was beaten to death by her husband within two months after marrying. ”

"......" Ma Yuhui obviously noticed the murderous intent revealed by Gang Ye, and he quickly changed the topic and said, "So, what is the situation of the Lianheng clan now?" How many clansmen are there, what are they doing in Luohe City? ”

"Now the situation of the Lianheng clan is also very bad, there are about seventy clansmen, the patriarch is the boss of a Baoxing in Luohe City, there was a big incident a few years ago, and the family has basically been lost." "The last time the patriarch came to contact me, he mentioned that if there was really no way, he would have to send the children to work as long-term workers, which would be better than starving to death. ”

"......" Ma Yuhui It is hard to imagine that Gang Ye has such excellent genes, the children he gave birth to, and the children of the children, have actually fallen to such a point, is it possible that among so many generations of descendants, there has never been a promising?

He calmed down and said, "How far is Luohe City from Chaoyang City?" ”

"It's not far, only more than a hundred miles, and if you take a car, you can reach Luohe City in an hour at most." Huanlu Kanger said.

"Okay, you immediately arrange for someone to go to Luohe City, and call me all the clansmen who can speak to the Lianheng clan now!" Ma Yuhui got up and said: "You are all people who are related to my master, don't worry, now the dilemma of the two clans will be solved soon, why don't you go quickly?" ”

"Okay, yes, yes......" Getting such a promise from Ma Yuhui, Huanlu Kanger was simply overjoyed, he hurriedly stood up, nodded again and again, and said: "I'm going to arrange someone to go to Luohe City, and strive to pick them up within three hours!" That's right...... Great-grandfather and uncle, that box ......"

"Let someone send it now." Ma Yuhui raised his hand and said, "It just so happens that I will also take this time to take a look at the contents of the box first...... Well, what are you still standing here for? Don't go yet! ”

"Okay, okay, I'll go, I'll go, great-grandfather, please wait." Huanlu Kanger nodded and left the room, but he didn't notice the disappointment in Ma Yuhui's eyes.

I hope these people won't all be Adou who can't be helped!
