On the avenue, there was the sound of horses' hooves stomping on the ground.

This horse team came from the national capital Tianluo City, went straight to the county seat, and after getting in touch with the Cheng family, they immediately rushed to Hejiazhuang non-stop.

The horses in the team are all famous Northwest black horses, these black horses have tall skeletons, thin and straight ankles, and a broad protrusion with bulging block muscle keys on the broad chest. In the sun, their fur sparkles like black satin, although it is far from being compared with He Yiming's red silk horse, but it is also one of the best special horses.

If you want to buy one or two such good horses in the northwest, it is naturally not difficult, but if you want to buy more than 100 horses and form a horse team, it will not be easy.

In the Tianluo Kingdom, there will definitely not be more than ten families with such a big deal, and this batch is naturally from the Yu family of the Tianluo royal family.

Half a day later, when the carriage stopped in front of Hejiazhuang, it immediately caused a commotion, not only He Quanyi came out to greet him, but even Lin Taoli also came out.

And He Yiming, who was studying how to integrate the power of ** into boxing in his courtyard, finally received the news from the royal family.

When he came to the hall, he suddenly saw that He Wude and the other three brothers of the second generation of the He family and the eldest brother were all present one day.

In order to receive the royal family, even He Quan Ming returned from the county seat. In Hejiazhuang, the only one who can't come out of retreat and ignore it is He Laibao, who is going all out to fight for the impact of the ten-layer internal strength.

His eyes swept in the hall, in addition to the people of the He family, Cheng Ningsheng, Cheng Jiahui and his son were also sitting aside, and what surprised him even was that even the old man Xu Yinjie and Xu Xiangqian in Xujiabao, as well as Lin Taoli of the Linlang Lin family, were also among them.

He secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, the name of the royal family of Tianluo Kingdom really has great magic power for this small place in Taicang County, and the three major families will gather together for a royal representative, which is a manifestation of lack of confidence.

If it was in the Fire Crow Country, with the power of the Xie family, even if the Lord of the Fire Crow Country came in person, they would not have the whole family to move.

He sighed in his heart, but his eyes fell on the two strangers in the hall.

One of the two men seemed to be a bad old man, his lips were closed tightly, as if he was afraid of making a sound from inside, but the center of his eyes always flashed with a trace of essence that ordinary people could not find at all.

He Yiming has already opened it at a glance, this old man's internal strength cultivation is not under his grandfather, it is the peak realm of the tenth layer of internal strength, it seems that as long as he takes a step, he can pierce that layer of barriers and advance to the innate level.

Of course, this step seems simple, but if you really want to cross it, it is extremely difficult.

There are not many people who are at the peak of the tenth layer of internal strength, but in the end, there is only one in a hundred who can really take this step.

It not only requires extraordinary perseverance, but also super strong shit luck, and it is obvious that this kind of good luck is not seen in this old man's body.

Beside this old man, standing side by side with him, was a young man.

This man has a handsome face, a piece of green jade in the middle of the dark blue satin on his forehead, two large jade rings inlaid with jade in his ears, wide-brimmed cuffs and placket, the color and thick lines of wrinkles on his face and hands that symbolize hard work, the upright bridge of his nose, and his gentle eyes with a slight melancholy, even He Yiming has to admit that he is really too handsome.

After seeing He Yiming, the eyes of these two people also showed a hint of surprise, although they quickly covered up the past, but how could they hide it from these people in the hall.

The two of them actually knew that He Yiming was young for a long time, but when they really saw him, they couldn't help but sigh in surprise from the bottom of their hearts. At such an age, he is already an innate powerhouse, how is this cultivated? Especially the old man, who has a trace of melancholy and a little jealousy.

However, he did not dare to express his jealousy in any case. If you want to be jealous of a congenitally strong person, it is simply a self-defeating act.

"Yiming, hurry up, I'll introduce you. He Wude said with a smile, it was obvious that his old man's conversation with these two just now was very pleasant: "This is His Royal Highness Yu Xiaoyi, the eldest son of the current lord. ”

Yu Xiaoyi bowed slightly and said, "I've seen Master He." ”

He Yiming stretched out his hand and arched, and said, "You don't have to be polite, Your Highness is here in person, and you will miss the welcome." ”

Yu Xiaoyi wondered in her heart, this Master He's attitude was really good.

Although he is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Tianluo Kingdom, he also knows the status of the innate powerhouse in the country. Shui Xuanjin, the only protector mage in Tianluo Kingdom, did not have a good face when facing the royal family, except for His Majesty the Lord of the Kingdom.

"This is Mr. Xue Lie. He Wude paused and said, "Mr. Xue Lie is the chief disciple of Master Shui Xuanjin, and he is well-known in our Tianluo Kingdom, and is known as the first person among the ten layers of internal strength. ”

A smile appeared on the corner of He Yiming's mouth, but he was not surprised by this name. Since he is the apprentice of a congenital powerhouse, it is natural that he will get the moon first.

If you can master an innate technique, plus a treasure weapon, then it doesn't seem to be difficult to dominate in the same rank.

Don't forget, the two brothers of the former Xiao family, with their ninth-level internal strength, can compete with the uncle. In the eyes of ordinary people, this is absolutely incredible.

Xue Lie's attitude was much more respectful, he strode forward, not caring about the age gap between each other, and bowed deeply to the ground: "Xue Lie has seen Master He. ”

He Yiming frowned slightly, stretched out his hand, and immediately helped him up, saying, "Mr. Xue doesn't need to be polite." ”

Although He Yiming's movements were not big, it was just a gentle lift, but it had already shocked Xue Lie. Because he found that in front of the other party, he didn't seem to have the slightest ability to resist at all.

He had only sensed this feeling in his own teacher before.

At this point, he finally completely believed that the young and excessively young person in front of him was indeed an innate powerhouse.

He Yiming's gaze swept towards the people of Cheng and Xu Er's family, nodded and smiled at them, Cheng Ningsheng and the others naturally returned the salute.

Originally, they were all sitting and chatting, but when He Yiming came in, everyone stood up automatically, even the people of the He family.

"Yiming, this time His Highness came in person, but he brought us a lot of good things. He Wude's voice contained a strong joy that could not be concealed.

Although Taicang County was attacked by horse thieves who had not been encountered in a century, their He family not only did not break their muscles and bones, but gained a lot.

He Yiming brought tens of thousands of taels of gold, and after the discounted price of the things sent by Lin Taoli, they were also not inferior, and this time the royal family brought so many gifts from Tianluo City made him even more overjoyed.

However, his old man also understands that the reason why these people will give gold and goods for no reason is purely for the sake of He Yiming's face, if it weren't for him, the grandson of the innate realm, then the He family will not say that it is a big gain this time, even he himself will lose it.

Cheng Ningsheng also echoed and said with a smile: "Master He, this time the royal family also exempted Taicang County from paying taxes for ten years, and pulled down a large amount of money and grain, so that we could repair the broken city wall. The old man has just checked the materials, not only can the city wall of the county town be restored to its original appearance, but also can build a tall city wall before Hejiazhuang. ”

He Yiming's heart moved slightly, of course he understood that the cost of building the city wall was definitely a huge expense. If it weren't for that, Grandpa wouldn't have invested a lot of money in this every year.

And Cheng Ningsheng said this, obviously with the approval of Yu Xiaoyi and the others, or it was simply their instruction.

He sighed in his heart, he deserved to be a member of the royal family, and it was really a big deal.

He Wude laughed and said, "Brother Cheng, this time to resist the invasion of horse thieves, Xujiabao has the greatest credit, and your Cheng family's mansion and Xujiabao's outer fort are also seriously damaged. This money and grain will be handed over to the two of them as funds for the reconstruction of Chengfu and the reconstruction of Xujiawaibao. ”

He Yiming was slightly stunned, when did Grandpa Xindao become so kind?

Before he could react, he heard Yu Xiaoyi laugh and said: "Mr. He said that he was joking, this time the three major families in Taicang County fought against the horse thieves and wiped out the thieves who plagued Tai'a County. How can we let the heroes shed blood and tears?" His face turned sincere, and he said: "The reconstruction of Xujiabao and Chengfu is all undertaken by our royal family, and you two will definitely be given justice." ”

Xu Yinjie and Cheng Ningsheng were all overjoyed, and they immediately took a step forward and thanked them deeply.

With the heritage of these two families, although they can also rebuild their homes, this is also an astronomical amount, and once it is rebuilt, it will definitely be greatly damaged. If a big pie suddenly fell on it today, of course they were overjoyed.

After thanking him, they looked at the old man He Wude, with a little bit of gratitude, of course, these three old men who have been fighting openly and secretly for decades can never be as close as their own brothers, it can only be said that the relationship has gradually eased.

Seeing that they were finished talking, Xue Lie bowed deeply again and said, "Master He, family master Shui Xuanjin heard that there was another innate master in Taicang County, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed. He hoped that Master He could go to Beijing and discuss important matters. ”

His voice was so sincere that it was hard to refuse.

Yu Xiaoyi also bowed deeply and said, "Please Master He." ”

He Yiming pondered for a moment and said, "It is also my long-cherished wish to go to Beijing to meet Master Shui. However, may I ask Mr. Xue, what exactly does Master Shui need to serve?"

Xue Lie and Yu Xiaoyi's faces changed slightly at the same time, they glanced at each other, and finally Yu Xiaoyi gritted his teeth and said, "Master He, although our Tianluo Kingdom is not as good as the three major powers among the Northwest Kingdoms, it is also the best among the second-rate countries. But within the three counties, there is only one protector of the country, Master Shui. So ......"

He Yiming frowned slightly, he was about to say that he was not interested in the Protector Mage, but he saw the grandfather on the side grinning at him, and the words that came to his lips suddenly changed, and said: "He still needs to think about this matter, and I will give you an answer in a few days." ”

Hearing that he didn't refuse on the spot, Yu Xiaoyi and Xue Lie couldn't help but be happy.

As long as there is no refusal, it means that there is still room for turnaround, especially Yu Xiaoyi, who has already made up her mind in her heart to promote this matter no matter what. If he gets the promise of Master He who is willing to serve as the protector master of Tianluo Kingdom in his hands, then his throne will be as stable as Mount Tai in the future.

He Wude snorted and said, "Your Highness, Mr. Xue, you have come from afar, please rest for one night, even if you want to return to the capital, it will not be too late to do it tomorrow." ”

He Yiming nodded and said, "Yes, you guys can rest, I'll do my homework too." ”

With that, he nodded to a few members of the family, turned and left.

Although it was a very rude act for him to do so, neither the He family nor the rest of the people had any thoughts of anger.

If an innate master does not even have this little privilege, then how can he reflect their powerful and noble status.

He Yiming returned to the room and asked Yuan Lixun to prepare a tea that his grandfather loved to drink, which came from the distant Dashen.

These tea cakes were still sent from the Yuan family, originally as smuggled goods, but the Yuan family gave these tea cakes to the old man as a gift this time.

The old man was overjoyed, and gave 20% to He Yiming. It's just that for He Yiming, there is almost no difference between good tea and bad tea in his mouth, so he kept this gift and kept it for a few elders to fight the autumn breeze.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the old man to come to his room.

sat down opposite, picked up the teacup and took a sip, the old man exhaled comfortably, looking very relaxed.

"Grandpa, what do you mean by glancing at me just now?" He Yiming said straight to the point: "Do you want me to be the protector of the country, or not?"

"Of course, yes. He Wude said without hesitation: "Yiming, if my grandfather hadn't wandered to Taicang County and settled down here to build a foundation." Then I won't ask you to do this, because among the Northwest Kingdoms, Tianluo Kingdom is not the most powerful country, above her, there are three major powers in the Northwest, among which the closest to us is Kairong Kingdom, you can completely become the protector master of Kairong Kingdom, and the treatment you enjoy is the best. However, since our Hejiazhuang has been established in Taicang County, and it has spread out here as a base. Then I hope that you can become the protector master of the Tianluo Kingdom. ”

He Yiming nodded slightly, he already understood what his grandfather meant, if he became the protector master of Tianluo Kingdom, then the He family would undoubtedly be like a fish in water in the territory of Tianluo Kingdom, and no one would dare to offend again.

After thinking about it for a while, He Yiming said sincerely: "Grandpa, I understand what you mean, but my ambition is in the world, I want to pursue the supreme martial arts, and I don't want to be bound by a country." ”

He Wude laughed and said, "Yiming, do you think that after becoming a national protector, you will be restrained? Hehe, in fact, the national protector is just a name, unless the country suffers a major crisis, or it is a challenge from another country's national protector master, otherwise you don't need to take action at all." ”

He Yiming raised his eyebrows lightly and said, "But after becoming a protector of the country, don't you want to live in the national capital, then how can I see the world outside." ”

He Wude's smile suddenly froze, and after a moment, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "This is a big problem. ”

In fact, for ordinary innate powerhouses, when they set foot in the innate realm, most of them are over sixty years old, or even older. These people have a wealth of experience and experience, and they are not too interested in traveling the world, so they will accept the offerings of a certain country and become the protector of this country.

And it can be said that there is no one like He Yiming who stepped into the congenital at a young age, so when he encountered this problem, He Wude was naturally disturbed.

He Yiming suddenly smiled and said, "Grandpa, you don't have to worry. ”

He Wude's eyes lit up slightly, and he said, "Do you have any good ideas?"

He Yiming shook his head and said, "It's not that I have a good way, but they have a good way." ”

He Wude was puzzled, and looked at this grandson he loved inexplicably.

He Yiming stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the capital of Tianluo Kingdom, and said: "When I get there, I will tell Master Shui about my wishes, if he can solve it, I will agree to serve as the Master of Tianluo Kingdom, if he can't do anything, then I will pat my ass and leave." ”

Seeing He Wude's crying and laughing look on his face, He Yiming hurriedly said: "Don't worry, as long as I am alive for a day, I think there will definitely not be many people in the He family who are willing to provoke." Whether or not I serve as the protector of the Tianluo Kingdom, this will not change. ”

He Wude pondered for a long time, and finally nodded slowly, but there was still a trace of regret in his heart, if He Yiming could serve as the protector master, then He Jiazhuang would definitely get many corresponding benefits. But as soon as he thought of his grandson's volunteering, his little thoughts suddenly faded.

As long as this grandson can be made happy and let him continue to achieve higher achievements in martial arts, then Hejiazhuang's status will become higher and higher, there is absolutely no doubt about this.

On the second day, in front of He's house, there was a lively atmosphere.

A huge team of horses left Hejiazhuang in a mighty manner and headed in the direction of the Tianluo National Capital.

In this team, in addition to the two visitors from the national capital, Lin Taoli also traveled with the car.

And in the He family, in addition to He Yiming and Yuan Lixun, only He Quanxin and He Yitian father and son are accompanied, according to the words of Old Man He, one day in the future, he will definitely go out to travel the world, so Quanxin father and son, who are destined to take over Hejiazhuang, must follow to see the world.

Watching the convoy slowly step onto the avenue, out of his sight.

He Wude sighed, and he didn't know what it was like in his heart.

However, since then, Hejiazhuang has walked out of this small place in Taicang County and officially entered the sight of the Northwest countries.

And can He Yiming, the proud son of Hejiazhuang, really gain a firm foothold in the northwest......
