Chapter 33: Brothers Against Brothers

Although the Jinlin Yuan family is not a great family with a thousand-year-old heritage, it also has a history of 100 years.

It's just that in this family, there have been no particularly powerful masters, and their home is close to the suburbs of Zhengtong County, so purely in terms of regional influence, the Yuan family is not as good as the He family in Taicang County.

But because the Yuan family is in this geographical location, and it has always been very low-key, it has quite a lot of connections, but unfortunately, these connections cannot help them resist the threat from the strong.

On the outskirts of Zhengtong County, outside a huge manor, several galloping horses suddenly sounded.

A moment later, eight horses had arrived at the gate of the manor, and among the eight horses was a special steed.

This horse is red all over, without a single miscellaneous hair, and the same color as a ripe jujube, and anyone who sees it will praise a good horse.

The door quickly opened, and an old servant came out of it, and said respectfully, "Master, you can be regarded as back." ”

Yuan Chengcheng's face changed slightly, his body moved slightly, his feet were already standing firmly on the ground, and he asked sharply, "What happened at home?"

The old servant shook his head, his eyes looked at He Quanxin behind him, as for He Yitian and He Yiming, they had been subconsciously ignored by this old man.

Yuan Cheng said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, this is the old man He Quanxin of the Taicang He family, with him here, even if Fan Shuhe is here, there is no need to worry." ”

His words were categorical, loud, and loud, and after that, there was a kind of power that captivated people's hearts.

Since the Fan family hit the Yuan family's head, Yuan Chengcheng has been suppressed for too long, so he will take this opportunity to burst out at this moment, and it is also to show people that the Yuan family now has the capital to compete with the Fan family.

The old servant's face really became cheerful in an instant, and his eyes were full of admiration when he looked at He Quanxin.

Fan Shu, the contemporary head of the Fan family, is a well-known master of tenth-layer internal strength, and since this master of the He family can compete with this person, then he is at least a master of the same level.

In the face of such a master, the old servant's heart was naturally quite excited.

The news of Yuan Chengcheng's return home soon spread throughout the manor, and more importantly, he also brought back a master of ten-layer internal strength. This was undoubtedly like a reassuring needle, which inspired the confidence of everyone in the entire estate.

When Yuan Chengcheng came to the hall with He Quanxin, there were already people waiting there.

A wealthy old man stood on the steps of the hall, a smile of relief on his face. As soon as he saw the figures of He Quanxin and others, he immediately strode up to meet them.

"Haha, fifty years ago, the old man and Brother He roamed in Tianluo Country together for ten years. Later, Brother He settled in Taicang County, and I returned to the family, but I didn't expect that this farewell would be more than 40 years. The old man laughed loudly, sighed, and then asked, "I haven't seen you for so many years, how is everything okay with Brother He?"

He Yiming and the others immediately understood that this must be the contemporary master of the Yuan family, Yuan Zeyu, who has had a friendship with He Wude for decades.

He Quanxin hurriedly took a step forward and bowed his head: "Uncle Yuan, my father is all healthy, but I miss you very much." ”

Yuan Zeyu hurriedly helped him up and said, "Our two families are friends, and the virtuous nephew must not be so polite." ”

He Yiming was behind them, muttering to himself in his heart, decades ago, grandpa and you may have been world friends, but they haven't seen each other for so many years, and now the relationship between the two families is maintained by trading with each other. If it weren't for the fact that Uncle is useful to you now, I'm afraid you wouldn't be so polite.

However, he only dared to think about these words in his heart, and no matter what, it was impossible to say them in person.

The two of them talked outside the hall for a while, and then entered the hall under Yuan Zeyu's courteous greeting.

The servant came up and served tea, Yuan Zeyu's eyes fell on He Tiantian and the others, and he smiled and said: "I haven't seen you for decades, Brother He has already branched out, and even the third generation of children has grown to such a point. He let out a long sigh and said, "Li Ling has been cultivating for more than twenty years, and now he is only at the peak of the sixth layer, but one day the virtuous nephew has advanced to the seventh layer, and he is really the pride of the sky." ”

He Tiantian stood up, bowed deeply to the old man, and said, "Grandpa Yuan, you have won the award." ”

Yuan Zeyu laughed, looked at He Yiming's gaze and hesitated, and asked, "Sincerely, which son of the He family is this?" ”

Yuan Chengcheng immediately said: "Daddy, this is the second son of Brother Quanyi, He Yiming." ”

Yuan Zeyu nodded slightly, he thought that this was just an ordinary disciple sent by the He family to see it, and after greeting him, he no longer paid attention to it.

He Yiming is already famous in Taicang County, not only is he the number one master among the young generation of the three major families, but many people think that even if he is among the predecessors of the time-honored brand, he can be regarded as the number one person.

After all, in the Cheng family's welcoming ring, He Yiming once made a draw with Lin Taoli, and Lin Taoli defeated Xu Xiangqian before.

However, after all, Taicang County is just a small county seat, and the reputation of the characters here is often given a big discount when it spreads to other places, and it is not in the eyes of those masters in the big family, and Lin Taoli did not make a big deal about it after losing a game, and the reputation of Yihe Yiming has not even spread all over Linlang County of Tianluo, let alone Jinlin Kingdom.

Yuan Chengcheng's expression moved slightly, although he didn't know He Yiming's reputation very well, but when he came this time, he saw He Yiming's strength with his own eyes, whether it was the heavy toss of the Daguan knife, or the simple toss and throw afterwards, it contained a powerful strength that was difficult for him to reach.

Although He Yitian is a seventh-layer internal strength master, as long as he is not blind, he knows that there is not a slight difference between him and He Yiming.

Coughing lightly, Yuan Chengcheng's face showed a slightly embarrassed expression, and said, "Daddy, He Yiming's nephew is the number one master among the juniors in Hejiazhuang." ”

Yuan Zeyu turned his gaze in surprise and looked at it seriously.

After a while, Yuan Zeyu's face changed slightly, because in his eyes, He Yiming was like an unfathomable pool of well water, and he couldn't see it at all.

Yuan Chengcheng added even more fuel and vinegar: "Dad, Uncle He even passed on the Daguan knife that he became famous for fighting back then to Yiming's nephew. ”

Yuan Zeyu's eyes suddenly shot out a fine light, and once he remembered the terrifying Daguan knife weighing more than three hundred catties, his heart trembled. This kind of weapon, apart from a guy like He Wude, who is born with divine powers, can anyone else use it easily?

Just looking at He Yiming's appearance, it seems that he has nothing to do with Hercules.

But since Yuan Chengcheng said so, and He Quanxin's father and son had a calm and waveless expression, then this matter must be true.

He took a deep breath and said, "Okay, it's really a hero out of a young man, I didn't expect even the old man to look away." ”

He Quanxin smiled and said, "Uncle Yuan, since we are already here, you can also tell you what the situation is at the moment." ”

The smile on Yuan Zeyu's face stiffened slightly, and he smiled bitterly: "This matter is a long story, and it is also the misfortune of my Yuan family, so it is such a shameful thing." ”

He Quanxin and the three of them were slightly shocked in their hearts, and they vaguely felt that this matter did not seem to be as simple as they imagined.

Yuan Zeyu waved his sleeves and said loudly suddenly: "Set up a banquet for me, and I will give He Xian's nephew you the wind and dust." ”

※※※※

That night, a banquet was held in the Yuan family, not only to invite the core children scattered in the family, but also to return to the manor for some important stewards of the family.

Yuan Zeyu made it clear that he wanted to use the ability of He Quanxin and others to suppress the clansmen who were about to move at the moment.

Although He Quanxin and the others had long known the old man's purpose, the old man's purpose was exactly in line with their intention to come here, so even He Yiming, who was reluctant to show his face again, was the only one who sat on top of the chief at this moment and forced to be a mud bodhisattva with a smiling face like Uncle He Quanxin.

On the contrary, He Yitian is quite adaptable to this kind of occasion, and he copes with it decently, which makes people feel good.

At the banquet, Yuan Zeyu solemnly introduced He Quanxin, and when everyone heard that this man in his fifties turned out to be a master of the tenth layer of the peak of internal strength, everyone's face showed a smile of surprise.

During this time, they were forced to be embarrassed by the Fan family, and their hearts were like pressing a boulder, and it was not until this moment that they relaxed.

The masters of the tenth layer of internal strength, for them, are like an unattainable mountain, which brings them unimaginable pressure.

It's just that not all of them showed ecstatic expressions, but the faces of several Yuan family members above the second seat were full of strange looks, and there was a bit of confusion and panic among them.

Yuan Zeyu's eyes glanced at them, and said loudly: "Big brother, please go into the city tomorrow and tell Mr. Fan Shuhe." I've thought about the family's shop in the city, and the surrounding farmland. It is the foundation of our Yuan family, no matter how much money they pay, we will not sell it. ”

On the second seat, an old man stood up slowly, his age was similar to Yuan Zeyu, his face was vaguely similar, but there were a pair of triangular eyes on his face, and his eyes were as cold as poisonous snakes.

"Second brother, Mr. Fan is also kind, and the fields around our village are just that. But now the shops in the city are not doing well, and if they open for a day, they will lose a day, so why not cash out. ”

Yuan Zeyu snorted coldly and said, "Big brother, why are the shops in the city losing money, don't you really know?" He paused and sighed: "Those shops are all century-old brands inherited by the first generation of elders of the Yuan family, and no matter what, they can't be lost from my hands." ”

On the second seat stood a young man, in his mid-twenties, wrapped in a long moleskin coat, wearing rabbit fur gloves and huge beaver fur boots. This stood up, and suddenly brought a fierce momentum.

He took a step forward and said, "Second grandfather, although the shop at home is a time-honored brand, since it is not well managed, you might as well sell it temporarily, and when you have money in the future, can you still buy it?" ”

Yuan Zeyu glared at him angrily and finally stood up.

Under his angry gaze, everyone in the table bowed their heads, even the old man in the first place.

Yuan Zeyu suddenly sighed and said, "I have something to say to a few people in the big house, so let's leave first." ”

There was a commotion at the table, but a moment later, except for the chairman and some of the people in the second table, they were all gone.

He Quanxin and the three of them were about to leave, but they were firmly held down by Yuan Chengcheng, he shook his head slightly, and everyone immediately understood that there must be an inside story.

After Yuan Zeyu waited for everyone to leave, he said: "Yuan Zewei, I know that you want me as the head of the family. But even so, you shouldn't rely on outsiders to get your family's property. ”

The old man raised his head suddenly, a pair of triangular eyes were cold, he sneered, and said, "Second brother, since you don't even call the eldest brother anymore, do you want to break with me completely?"

Yuan Zeyu sighed and said, "The few century-old brands in the city in the family are in your hands, and they are actually losing money year after year, but you want Zhuangzi to subsidize your family." For the sake of my dead father, I have been forbearing. But now you have intensified, and you have actually sent the granddaughter of my Yuan family to the Fan family, and used the power of the Fan family to coerce me. Now that the matter has come to this, can I still recognize you as a big brother?"

He Quanxin and the others suddenly realized, no wonder the Yuan family, with a foundation of more than 100 years, could not find a master of ten layers of internal strength here to help them, but instead went to Taicang County to beg Mrs. He to take action.

Moreover, the Fan family is just an emerging family, and it has such a huge appetite, and it suddenly set its sights on the Fan family, which has been inherited for a hundred years.

All this unreasonableness has the best explanation at this moment.

It is difficult to prevent internal thieves, since they are people who are mixed with the relatives of the Yuan family, then the rest of the family is naturally not easy to meddle at will.

He Tiantian shook his head slightly, and said suddenly: "Master Yuan, there is something I want to ask for advice below." ”

Yuan Zewei's eyes flashed with fierce light, but since he knew that He Tiantian was the son of He Quanxin, and He Quanxin was a peak master of the tenth layer of internal strength, he would not dare to be rude in front of him no matter what. I had to clench my fists and say, "Mr. He, please ask." ”

He Yitian picked up the wine glass in front of him, drank it all, and then said: "Master Yuan, if I am not mistaken, you and the Fan family should have made an agreement, as long as the shop and the land are really under the name of the Fan family, then they will be returned to you in the future, right?"

Yuan Zewei hesitated, but in the end he didn't say anything. But looking at him like this, he chose to acquiesce.

He Tiantian let out a long sigh and said, "Master Yuan, you are also an old man who has lived for eighty years. Do you really believe the words of the Fan family, and what guarantee did the Yang family give you to believe that they would fulfill their promise after obtaining the shop and the land?"

He Quanxin and He Yiming glanced at each other, and the two of them sighed secretly in their hearts at the same time.

All of their minds were devoted to cultivation, and the rest of the aspects were inevitably a little unsatisfactory.

He Tiantian can find out the tangled problem like a fire and express it in some way, but they can only be a strong backing for the day.

Yuan Zewei's face was flushed, but the young man behind him rushed out and said, "Of course we believe my brother-in-law's words, so don't sow discord." ”

He Yitian laughed and didn't refute anymore, but glanced at the young man's body from the corner of his eye, the kind of contempt that was extreme to the extreme, even an idiot could understand it.

The young man was immediately furious, he strode forward and said, "Congratulations to the day...... Sir, I heard that Ling Zun is the peak powerhouse of the tenth layer of internal strength, I really don't dare to offend, but I don't know if Your Excellency has received a bit of the true inheritance of Lord Ling Zun? I don't know if you can come out and give a lesson. ”

He Tiantian's eyes froze, and a momentum far stronger than this person suddenly stimulated.

His figure was like lightning, and he instantly came to the man's side, waved his hand, and fanned it like lightning.

"Crackling ......"

Four consecutive slaps that were almost to the point of the moment instantly turned the young man into a pig's head, and he opened his mouth, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, including several teeth.

It was only at this time that this person reacted, his eyes were red, and he wanted to fight hard with He Yitian, but He Yitian had already returned to the same place, and he didn't even make a move to look at him directly.

Yuan Zewei's face changed slightly, and he grabbed the young man and said, "Good kung fu, sure enough, it is the tiger father without a dog, and the kung fu of the eldest young master of the He family, we have learned it." ”

The young man wanted to say something, but Yuan Zewei pulled him away, and suddenly someone came up and dragged him down to heal his injuries.

Yuan Zewei's eyes flashed with awe-inspiring light, and he said slowly: "Second brother, if it wasn't for your clever words and seducing your father, how would he pass on the position of the head of the family to you." Hehe, you are the head of the house, so where will my eldest brother be placed? You handed over the shop to me to take care of, but I didn't want people to criticize you and say that you were going to kill them all. ”

Yuan Zeyu shook his head slightly, and sighed lightly: "Big brother, my father passed on the position of the head of the family to me, just because you are narrow-minded, for fear that after giving you the power of the family, it will tire my Yuan family to decay......"

Yuan Zewei laughed out loud and said, "Second brother, there is no need to say much about the past, whether it is or not, it doesn't matter anymore." Now who can finally obtain the authority of the Yuan family depends on their respective strengths. ”

With that, he waved his hand, and the people at the second table suddenly came behind him, wanting to hug him and leave.

Yuan Zeyu's face was extremely gloomy, and he suddenly said in a loud voice: "Yuan Zewei, even if you win in the end, do you dare to guarantee that Fan Shu will return the Yuan family to you?"

Yuan Zewei's footsteps paused, and his voice was gloomy and compassionate, as if it was freezing through his heart and lungs.

"The Yuan family is originally mine, if I can't get it, then the other Yuan family members can't even think of it......"

ps: There are some words that I didn't want to explain, but Hakutsuru said it anyway, I hope it's the last time.

Today's protagonist is promoted to the first rank in half a year in front of his family, and this speed can be regarded as unprecedented anyway. What's more, he has already decided to tell the truth about what he has stepped into the innate after half a year.

People always need a process of acceptance, and if someone in your family suddenly tells you that he has become a billionaire without a process of accumulation, then how would you feel?

As for promising Xie Zhien to help him be promoted to congenital, it is because Xie Zhien himself is an acquired tenth layer of dual-line initiates, looking at He Mansion, is there such a person? He Yiming is not a god, it is impossible to point a finger, and let the family members be promoted to congenital.

Also, Bai He's writing is not arbitrary, those things that seem superfluous, such as the Fan brothers, the encounter of horse thieves, etc., are all foreshadowing, if there is no such experience, then when the story really unfolds in the future, you will find that the protagonist's personality changes are too abrupt.

As Fang Cai said, people need a process of acceptance and a process of growth.

If it is written by Bai He, today it will be promoted to congenital, tomorrow it will become a god, the day after tomorrow it will destroy the universe, and then the day after tomorrow will create the universe, and then it will be the finale.

Such a few simple words.

Would you like to see it?

It's a shame to have nagged so much, a shame......
