A snow-white kitten with a long coat of hair. Two big eyes like glass balls stared directly at the few people in the hall, looking a little timid.

Several people in the hall had already noticed the kitten lurking in the dark, but they didn't pay attention to it at all, although their faces were as calm as possible, but the anxiety in their eyes could not be concealed at all.

Suddenly, a sound of footsteps came out of the outside, and then six people entered one after another.

As soon as the kitten saw one of them, it immediately rushed up like a fly, and jumped straight into He Tiantian's arms.

He Yiming's eyes widened, and even his gaze was a little straight. He looked at his eldest brother in surprise, when did he actually start raising cats.

He Tiantian smiled slightly awkwardly and said softly: "This is your sister-in-law's heart." ”

He Yiming suddenly realized that he had brought it in from the Cheng family.

However, the sister-in-law's status in the family is indeed extraordinary, not only because she is the eldest son and grandson, but more importantly, the sister-in-law's maiden family is the Cheng family, and the dowry brought is so rich that even several old people in the family have to look at it differently.

So don't say it's a cat as a pastime, even if it's a tiger, the family will open one eye, close one eye, and look at it as if they haven't seen it.

There were three people in the hall, except for one who was an old servant in charge of the village, and two of them were all dusty. One of them was forty or fifty years old, while the other was young, about the same age as He Yitian, only about twenty-five.

As soon as he saw He Wude enter the hall, the middle-aged man immediately stood up, walked quickly in front of He Wude, his knees weakened, and he immediately bowed to the worship, and said: "The little nephew sincerely greets Uncle He." ”

He Wude was stunned for a moment, obviously, he didn't expect that the other party would come up as soon as they met. However, his reaction was also extremely fast, he stretched forward with one hand, and with a slight support, he immediately pulled him up from the ground, and said, "Yuan Xian's nephew is a guest from afar, so there is no need to be so polite." ”

Yuan Chengcheng originally wanted to kowtow a few times, but he was hit by He Wude's palm, and he suddenly couldn't kowtow anymore.

However, there was a surprise in his heart, this old man was really as his father said, he was a master of the tenth layer of internal strength. It's just that he refuses to accept his gift, but he is afraid that this time his request for help may not be successful.

Standing up, Yuan Chengcheng stretched out his hand and said, "Liling, hurry up and come over to see Grandpa He and all the uncles and brothers." ”

The young man stepped forward quickly, only hesitated slightly, and kowtowed heavily, just like his father.

This time, He Wude did not stop him, but accepted this gift stubbornly. However, after receiving the salute, he also stretched out his hand and said, "One day, Yiming, you also came to see Uncle Yuan." ”

He Yiming secretly shouted bad luck in his heart, but he didn't dare to disobey, so he had to step forward with his eldest brother and kneel down and kowtow.

Yuan Chengcheng's face changed slightly, and he didn't dare to say anything, so he was about to come up to help, but He Wude held his arm, and he was suddenly unable to move, and he also accepted this gift stiffly, but the smile on his face was a little reluctant.

After the two sides met, He Wude said straight to the point: "Sincerely, I have read the letter from Brother Lingzun Yuan, our two families have cooperated for many years, and now since outsiders are bullying, the old man can't stand idly by." ”

The yin owl on Yuan Chengcheng's face suddenly disappeared without a trace, his eyes were full of surprise, obviously he never thought that Old Man He would accept it so easily.

In fact, in He Wude's heart, he was also quite emotional, if it was three years earlier, when He Yiming had not yet risen, and He Quanxin had not broken through to the tenth layer because of swallowing the golden pill, then even if it was twice the gift of the Yuan family, he might not be able to make a move easily.

After all, the other party has a master of the tenth layer of internal strength, and when he fights with a character in this realm, one carelessness is a death.

And the He family still needs his old bones to be in charge.

However, in just three years, earth-shaking changes have taken place.

At this moment, not only did the master of the tenth layer of internal strength in the family reach as many as three, but also there were seven extreme gold pills that could be used, so since the Yuan family promised ten thousand taels of gold and one percent of the profit, He Wude also agreed.

Yuan Chengcheng took a deep breath, and his heart instantly flashed with his father's words before he left, it was precisely because the He family and the Yuan family were far away, but they supported each other, so they were most likely to help. Now it seems that the old father has a unique vision.

There was a faint stain of water in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Uncle He, your kindness, our Yuan family will never dare to forget." ”

Their Yuan family has already sown countless letters for help for this matter, with the background of the Yuan family, although there is no master of the tenth layer of internal strength, but with their connections, they have a lot of friendship with several families, and these families have at least one master of the tenth layer of internal strength. But when the letter for help was sent, no family has given an official reply so far.

So when He Wude agreed, his excitement can be imagined.

He Wude smiled slightly, and said: "Virtuous nephew doesn't need to be polite, I see that you are already extremely tired after a long journey, it is better to rest here for one night, and tomorrow I will let Quan Xinhe and Yiming rush to Jinlin with you." ”

Yuan Chengcheng hurriedly said: "Uncle He, saving lives is like fighting a fire, if it is convenient, we can ...... it now" He paused suddenly, and said: "Uncle He, what are you talking about? Let Brother Quanxin and the two virtuous nephews go with me?"

He Wude nodded slowly and said, "Yes, it should be enough to have them go." ”

The look on Yuan Chengcheng's face suddenly darkened unabashedly, his lips trembled a few times, and finally he sighed and said, "Uncle He, the little nephew has something to ask for, and I ask you to agree." ”

"You say. He Wude asked quietly.

Yuan Chengcheng pulled Yuan Liling beside him and said, "This is the little dog Liling, and he is also the eldest grandson of the three generations of the Yuan family." I want to ask you to take it in, if our Yuan family suffers, please also look at the past friendship, reward him with a mouthful of food, let our Yuan family retain a bloodline, then the Yuan family will be grateful. ”

He Quanxin and the others looked at each other, and he said it so pessimistically, as if the Yuan family was already ruined.

He Wude snorted lightly and said, "Sincere nephew, if you let Liling stay, our He family will naturally take good care of it." But how can you Yuan family suffer so easily. ”

Yuan Cheng sighed helplessly, and said: "Uncle He, the contemporary head of the Jinlin Fan family, but he is an acquired master of the tenth layer of internal strength, if you don't come out of the horse, I am afraid that no one will be invincible at all." ”

Yuan Liling had been pursed her lips and had never spoken, but at this moment she suddenly stepped forward and said, "Dad, the child wants to go back with you, and he won't stay." ”

His voice was not heavy, nor did he have any intense emotions, but it was categorical, with a mountain-like will, so that people knew that this was his heartfelt words when they heard it, and he had already made up his mind, and it could not be reversed at all.

Yuan Chengcheng's face suddenly swelled with a flush, and he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart that boiled like a volcanic eruption, and just said coldly: "Liling, you are the eldest grandson of the Yuan family, and you have your own responsibility, if you can't even bear this responsibility, then our Yuan family will not have you as an unscrupulous descendant." ”

The muscles on Yuan Liling's face twitched slightly, but in the end, he didn't argue, but knelt down to He Wude suddenly, and knocked his head down at an extremely fast speed.

In just two strokes, his forehead was already red, and it was obvious that he did not use his internal strength, but sincerely pleaded.

He Wude hurriedly stretched out his hand, pulled him up, and sighed: "Good boy, since you have come to the He family, we will not let you down." ”

The eyes of Yuan Chengcheng's father and son rekindled the light of hope, could it be that his old man was willing to go out in person?

He Wude pointed at He Quanxin and said, "This is my eldest son Quanxin, you should not have seen it before." If he goes, he may not be able to fight with the head of the Fan family, so don't worry. ”

Yuan Chengcheng's father and son were stunned, and then their eyes became brighter and brighter. Yuan Cheng said in a trembling voice: "Brother He, you ...... You've broken through to the top 10 layer?"

He Quanxin smiled heartily and said, "Brother Yuan, it's just a fluke for a while. ”

Yuan Chengcheng's father and son were really overjoyed this time, but they also had an unattainable sense of admiration for the strength of the He family.

If a family has a tenth-layer master of internal strength, it is already rare for anyone to dare to provoke it. And the two tenth-layer masters of internal strength, then the reputation of this family will definitely rise far and wide, even if it is a big family that has been inherited for thousands of years, they will not be willing to provoke easily.

The He family in Taicang County, although in terms of scale, is not as good as the Yuan family, but in terms of peak force, the two sides are no longer comparable.

glanced at He Tiantian and He Yiming behind He Quanxin, these two juniors probably went to increase their knowledge.

Xiao is his experience is extensive, but it is impossible to guess that He Yiming will have more powerful strength than He Quanxin.

Two hours later, eight fast horses suddenly ran out of Hejiazhuang.

Among the eight fast horses, in addition to He Yiming's red silk, the other seven fast horses are the best foals in Hejiazhuang, although they are far from being comparable to the red silk, but in the long-distance running, they are far better than manpower.

After these two hours, Yuan sincerely eaten, washed, and then took a nap. Although he was a master of the eighth layer of internal strength, he still felt extremely tired when he came from afar non-stop. If it's not worrying, then I'll definitely rest for a few days.

And He Quanxin and others hurriedly greeted their respective families, although Cheng Yanli and Lin Wenyu were quite complaining about their departure for the New Year, but they did not stop them.

As for He Quanxin, he is definitely the head of the family, as long as it is something he decides, except for He Wude, no one can correct it.

So, in just two hours, they had already left Hejiazhuang and embarked on the road to Jinlin.

※※※※

Two days later, on a deserted official road, eight fast horses galloped past.

There was a small river in front of me, and in the cold winter, there was only a thin layer of ice on top of this small river, and you could even faintly hear the gurgling sound of the water under the ice.

A knight pulled the reins slightly, and many horses suddenly stopped one after another.

He Quanxin looked around and said, "Brother Yuan, we have been running for half a day, how about taking a break for a while." ”

Yuan Chengcheng's face was already extremely tired, although he was still anxious, but he also said without hesitation: "That's right." ”

The reason why the four of them brought out eight healthy horses was to be able to take turns, but even so, not all horses could withstand this kind of rush.

Breaking the thin ice by the river, a few people tidied up a little, and suddenly became much more energetic.

Yuan Cheng's eyes fell on the red silk horse beside He Yiming, and he sighed lightly: "Yiming Xian nephew, where did you buy your horse, it is really a good horse." ”

Among all the eight horses, the weight of the red silk horse was much higher than that of the other horses, and the Daguan sword, which weighed three hundred and sixty pounds, could not be borne by the rest of the horses except for the red silk horse.

Moreover, He Yiming has been riding it all the time, and he hasn't even rotated once.

But even so, among the eight horses at the moment, it is still the best in its spirit, and it still has a look of eagerness, as if the journey of a few days is still not exhausted.

Such a good horse, as long as it is a person who knows the goods, is envious.

He Yiming smiled slightly, he touched the red silk horse lightly a few times, and said, "Uncle Yuan, this is a gift from others." ”

"Gifted?" Yuan Chengcheng felt in his heart, the value of this horse could be said to be a thousand gold, he really couldn't think of anyone who would give such a BMW horse as a gift to He Yiming.

He Quanxin is actually very hot about this horse, but he knows a little about He Yiming's experience, so he doesn't doubt it.

Suddenly, there was a sharp sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and a group of people ran along the official road like a fly.

It was a convoy of thirty horses, led by a sudden halt, and a moment later they were coming toward the river.

Dozens of meters away from them, these people also broke the ice to get water, and many of them simply stuck their heads into the river, as if they didn't care about the coldness of the water at all.

It didn't take long for the more than thirty people to shout loudly, and the loud laughter came, making He Yiming and the others frown slightly.

"Horse thief. Yuan Cheng said in a low voice abruptly.

He Yiming was slightly stunned and asked, "Uncle Yuan, how did you see it?"

Yuan Cheng pointed his hand and said: "This is the junction of Tianluo and Jinlin, and it has always been a paradise for horse thieves. ”

He Yiming looked at the clothes on their bodies, and sure enough, he saw that each of them had a red scarf tied on their heads or necks.

His heart moved slightly, and he said, "Red scarf thief?"

Yuan Chengcheng was surprised and said, "The virtuous nephew actually knows about the red scarf thief?"

He Yiming nodded slightly, he had dealt with these people, and he didn't know why.

"Isn't the Red Turban Thief in Tai'a County, why did he come here?" He Quanxin frowned slightly and asked.

Yuan Chengcheng smiled dumbly and said, "Brother He, they are horse thieves, as long as it is a place where public order is chaotic, where can they go." ”

He Quanxin's old face was slightly red, although his strength was high, but in terms of experience, he was indeed inferior to the other party.

"Let's go. Yuan Chengcheng stood up and said softly: "We are not afraid of trouble, but we don't want to cause trouble either." ”

He Yiming hesitated for a moment and asked, "Uncle Yuan, since they are horse thieves, why don't they come to rob us?"

Yuan Cheng smiled proudly and said, "Among these horse thieves, there must be people with good eyesight, even if they want to rob, they have to look at the object." ”

He Yiming looked at himself and the others, and suddenly felt a little clear in his heart.

The four of them not only put their weapons on their horses openly, but also whether it was the uncle, Yuan Chengcheng, or even the eldest brother, at least they were masters of more than seven layers of internal strength.

Even if they look at each other or make a movement, they all have a natural calmness.

And looking at the more than 30 horsemen there, every knight was a fierce man, but he was still unmoved, and did not show the slightest panic.

If it is replaced by He Yiming, I am afraid that he may not be able to do anything to these few people who can't touch the depths.

The four of them tidied up a little, and each led their horses towards the mainland, and they didn't even look out of the corner of their eyes for the more than thirty men over there.

Coming to the road, He Yiming jumped up and jumped on top of the red silk horse.

The steed, as if it understood that it was about to hit the road, raised its neck high and let out a loud neigh.

Dozens of meters away, two of the more than thirty people had been silently paying attention to their movements.

As Yuan Chengcheng said, they can't see through the depth of He Quanxin and others, so they have never dared to act rashly.

However, when the cry of the red horse came, at least half of the more than thirty people, all of whom had been dealing with horses for many years, turned their heads. As soon as you hear this neighing sound, you know that you have encountered a good horse.

When the red ayama was mixed with the rest of the horses, not many people could notice it, but once it neighed, it immediately became the target of public criticism.

"Stand ......"

A roar came out of the group of horse thieves, and a burly man with a full beard walked out, his eyes fixed on the red ayama, and his face was full of greed.

"What do you want to do?"

Yuan Chengcheng's face turned a twitch, and he was extremely angry in his heart, he really didn't want to make trouble in order to hurry, but these people were so ignorant, they really killed themselves.

However, as soon as his eyes turned, he also fell on the red silk horse, and sighed secretly in his heart, if he didn't know the origin of He Yiming and the others, he was afraid that he would try his best to take this good horse for himself.
