He Yiming turned his head away. He nodded slightly and said, "Please wait in the lobby for your lordship, I'll be there shortly." ”

Xue Lie should be respectful, and he was also relieved in his heart.

Ask the monarch to wait in the lobby, and then move to meet, that will give the other party enough face. Even when Shui Xuanjin was alive in the past, it was nothing more than that.

It can be seen that He Yiming's words at the banquet were indeed heartfelt words, and he was really treating his family as the Tianluo royal family.

It's just that there is one thing he can't understand anyway, why He Yiming's attitude has changed so dramatically from before.

After a while, He Yiming got up and came to the lobby, where Yu Ruipei, the current lord of Tianluo, had been waiting for a long time. Not only was he here, but even Xue Lie was also on the list.

Seeing He Yiming come in, Yu Ruipei got up, bowed deeply, and said sincerely: "Thank you Master He for your words." ”

He Yiming waved his hand slightly, and naturally someone sent fragrant tea.

Shaomingju is the place where the old man of Shui Xuanjin lived in the past, and all the items and personnel are the top in Tianluo Kingdom. Now the old man has passed away. With a new master, before the subordinates are completely familiar with it, they naturally have to deal with it mentally.

"Your Excellency is too polite. He Yiming said flatly: "This is what I promised Brother Shui before his death, and this is his last wish, He will complete it for him no matter what." ”

Yu Ruipei was completely relieved, as if he had taken a reassuring pill, and he didn't have any worries.

If this promise came from the mouth of a politician, he would naturally be a hundred unbelievers, but from the mouth of an innate strong man, and the mouth of the old man Shui Xuanjin who was full of praise before his death, he did not have the slightest doubt.

Of course, he understands better that He Yiming agreed that Shui Xuanjin is favor, but if you want this favor to last, or deepen the relationship between them, you must firmly tie the He family to the Tianluo royal family.

"The monarch came here late at night, not just for this little thing. He Yiming asked casually.

Yu Ruipei's spirit suddenly lifted, he smiled but didn't speak, just looked at Xue Lie.

The eldest disciple of the old man Shui Xuanjin turned slightly red, and said, "Master He, in fact, you also know that now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is getting older, it is time to get married. ”

He Yiming was slightly stunned, Yu Xiaoyi's grade had already reached the time of marriage, but as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Tianluo Kingdom, the selection of this crown princess was quite a headache.

Not only the children of the family in their own country, but also a large group of princesses and county lords of all the kingdoms are within their consideration. So I haven't been able to make a decision yet.

Xue Lie raised this question at this time, as long as the idiot understood that the royal family wanted to marry the He family.

However, among the third-generation children of the He family, only He Yiling's age is matched with him, but He Yiling has already had a sweetheart, even if He Yiming is killed, he is unwilling to break up the pair of mandarin ducks.

The brows furrowed slightly, and after seeing He Yiming's expression, Yu Ruipei and Xue Lie were both nervous.

Maybe the marriage doesn't represent and guarantee anything, but after this marriage, any outsider, especially when powerful external forces such as Kairong Kingdom want to fight the idea of Tianluo Kingdom, they will be even more jealous.

"Xue Lie, early next year, my fourth sister He Yiling will marry Yuan Liling's son in Jinlin, if you are free, come and have a drink of joy. He Yiming said slowly.

Although he did not say no, it was enough.

Xue Lie and Yu Ruipei looked at each other, but there was no dissatisfaction on their faces.

Haha, Xue Lie is naturally submissive, Yu Ruipei thought about it for a moment. Finally said: "Master He, Gu Shang has two sons and three daughters who have not yet married, in addition to Gu, there are more than ten county lords of appropriate age in the clan. They have long admired the master's fame, and asked the master to be stingy. ”

He Yiming looked at him with a strange expression, and he was also quite emotional in his heart.

But when he thought of the Yuan family in the past, he was relieved. Seeing the look of expectation in the other party's eyes, He Yiming understood that if he shirked again, there might really be some uncontrollable misunderstanding.

Although he was not afraid of any misunderstandings, Hejiazhuang, who was in Tianluo Kingdom, still had to deal with the royal family.

After pondering for a moment, He Yiming raised his head and said, "Lord Guojun, do you know how my fourth sister Yiling got acquainted with Yuan Liling?"

Yu Ruipei was stunned and said, "I don't know, please ask the master for advice." ”

"Yuan Liling has lived in my Hejiazhuang for several years, and the two of them get along with each other and have been in love for a long time. He Yiming picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip gently, and said: "Although Hejiazhuang is not very big, it is still very welcome to the arrival of guests. ”

When he said the last sentence, He Yiming deliberately slowed down his tone.

He believes that with the other party's ability to control a country, he should be able to understand his own meaning.

Sure enough, a hint of enlightenment flashed on Yu Ruipei's face, although he did not approve of this practice in his heart, and even disdained it. But since it was He Yiming who brought it up, even if he was despised. The mouth should also be applauded loudly.

In his heart, the interests and values of the entire royal family are comparable to those children in the family.

Seeing Yu Ruipei leave with a happy face, He Yiming made up his mind that he would not go home until the fourth sister got married.

And he must be pretending not to know about this matter, even if someone is suspicious, I'm afraid no one dares to question it in person.

As for the influx of princes and princesses into Hejiazhuang, let Daddy and them have a headache. It's just that I don't know how the siblings will see themselves if they know that they are the ones behind the scenes. I don't know if I will be grateful for the opportunity I gave them, or I will scold in my heart.

Shaking his head, He Yiming put this thought aside, and he sat quietly in the room, thinking about his strange attitude towards himself since he met Xue Lie.

A moment later, Xue Lie turned around and couldn't help but be surprised when he saw He Yiming, who had not yet left in the hall. Although he didn't know that He Yiming was waiting for him here, he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and hurriedly stepped forward to pay a respect.

He Yiming nodded slightly, and said suddenly: "Xue Lie, you are the elder disciple of Brother Shui." You don't need to be so careful in the future, even if you poke a big hole in the sky, I will support you. ”

Since entering the city, He Yiming immediately found that Xue Lie seemed to be much more timid than before.

He knew that it was because of the reason for Su's death.

Without Shui Xuanjin, the biggest backer, although Xue Lie's life would not be sad, his confidence was greatly hit.

Xue Lie's body trembled slightly, he raised his head, and saw He Yiming's eyes full of sincerity, and his heart suddenly burst with excitement. Hurriedly lowered his gaze and said in a low voice: "Yes, thank you Master He." ”

He Yiming waved his hand lightly and said, "Remember, you are the descendant of Brother Shui, no matter what you do, think about whether you will lose your ...... His face. ”

Xue Lie suddenly straightened his chest and said sharply: "Yes, Xue Lie remembered." ”

He Yiming's face showed a smile of relief, although he had not been with Xue Lie for a long time, but he was quite appreciative of this person.

Brother Shui's eldest disciple has been cautious and careless all his life, but he is never afraid of power. Now that he has made his attitude clear, he naturally knows how to make a trade-off.

Xue Lie hugged his fists at He Yiming and said, "Master He, my family once said before I was born that you are the most important person in his life. When his old man passed away, you were the only one who supported me unconditionally, and Xue had nothing to repay, so he kowtowed to you on behalf of the juniors and juniors. ”

After that, as soon as his knees weakened, he would bow down. However, he immediately discovered that in front of him, there seemed to be an invisible wall, and no matter how hard he tried, it was impossible to bow down.

This discovery made him dumbfounded, and his gaze at He Yiming even carried a hint of faint fear.

I can't imagine that his strength has reached such an incredible level, and if he wants to do this step quietly, even if the master is alive, it is impossible to achieve it.

He Yiming was suspicious in his heart, Xue Lie would be so grateful, this seemed to be a little wrong.

His heart moved slightly, and he asked, "Xue Lie, who told you the news of Brother Shui's fall." ”

"It's Lu Zhengyi's senior. Xue Lie said respectfully, still with a hint of sadness in his voice. Having been with Shui Hyun Geun for decades, they are called master and apprentice. But in fact, there is no doubt with father and son, where is only more than half a year can be forgotten.

He Yiming felt the strong sense of sadness coming from his body, and a trace of guilt was born in his heart.

After being silent for a while, He Yiming finally asked again: "What did he say?"

"Senior Lu said that this time the totem people came to attack Hengshan, and in the middle of the fight, the master fell into their plot, but it turned out that it was too late, and he fell like this. ”

Speaking of this, Xue Lie's eyes were slightly red, although he was also in his eighties, but when he thought of the deceased Shui Xuanjin, his heart was still shocked.

He Yiming's mouth opened, and he realized that Xue Lie and the others didn't know what Shui Xuanjin died. If they knew that Shui Hyun Geun actually died to save their lives, maybe they wouldn't be so restrained in front of them.

With a gentle sigh, He Yiming didn't explain anything in the end.

The reason why Lu Zhengyi didn't tell him the truth was naturally for He Yiming's sake. This is his kindness, even if it is He Yiming himself, it cannot be blamed.

Similarly, what Shui Xuanjin did was also an incomparably huge favor for He Yiming.

Some things are not something that can be revealed by talking about it, but it must be made up for with practical actions over time.

At this moment, He Yiming's heart had already made a decision......

Standing up slowly, He Yiming walked towards the door, and at the moment when he was about to walk out of the door, he said coldly: "Xue Lie, Shao Mingju will be handed over to you, everything is good." If someone comes up to cause trouble, go to Lu Zhengyi to make the decision for you, if even he can't, I will naturally come out and deal with it. I repeat, when Brother Shui was alive, what you did, and how you do it now, don't lose his face. ”

After that, He Yiming's figure seemed to shake for a moment, and then disappeared without a trace.

Xue Lie took a deep breath, although he didn't understand why He Yiming would spare no effort to support his master. But it's definitely a great thing for them.

He bowed to the ground in the direction of the door, burying his head deep in the middle of his knees.

His eyes were closed, two drops of turbid yellow liquid were left on the ends of his hair, and he whispered in a difficult voice: "Master, you are not wrong, you really ......"

※※※※

In the distant territory of Kairong Kingdom, in an ancient temple, the sound of bells and drums sounded every day.

In this monastery, there lived a great figure who was famous in the entire kingdom of Kairong.

Although the big man has broken one of his old vows and once left the place where he lived. But this did not affect his high status in the hearts of everyone in the slightest.

On this day, Zhan Tianfeng was meditating in the courtyard, and not far in front of him, Cheng Fu, whom he had high hopes for, was practicing a set of strange exercises.

His body seemed to be carrying a weight of 10,000 catties, and every movement brought him great pain.

On his head and body, countless sweats poured down like a stream.

Among the powerhouses who have reached the innate realm, there are definitely only a handful of people who would choose such a cultivation method.

Although Cheng Fu's face was a little tired to the extreme, and accompanied by a strange painful expression, his eyes were still very clear, and in these eyes, there was a look of unwaveringness. Anyone who sees these eyes of him will ignore the pain and pressure he is under.

This set of combat techniques was taught by Zhan Tianfeng, and it was extremely powerful when cultivating, and at the same time, it also had an extremely rapid improvement in the level of his true qi.

After Cheng Fu lost the battle with He Yiming, he relied on practicing this set of exercises to make his ability improve by leaps and bounds, and now, he has even reached the point where he is comparable to Mao Guanglie in just a few years.

It's just that cultivating this set of exercises is extremely burdensome to the body, and it is also extremely painful, even if you are innate and strong, you may not be able to bear it.

Fortunately, this is one of the three major powers in the northwest, Kairong Kingdom, and there are countless elixirs in the country, as long as you have perseverance, you don't need to worry about physical damage.

Slowly, Cheng Fu finally finished the last punch, and one of his feet slowly dragged back, and in the process, the sweat that trickled down his whole body was already soaked.

With a long exhale, Cheng Fu suddenly let out a long laugh and said, "Master, thank you for your teaching." ”

Zhan Tianfeng nodded with satisfaction and said, "Cheng Fu, although your talent is not as good as He Yiming, your efforts will definitely not be below him." Among all the innate masters in my country's master hall, you are the only one who has the possibility of being promoted to the first line of heaven, you must not let me down. ”

Cheng Fu nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, Master, the disciple will definitely live up to your expectations." ”

His mentor is Mao Guanglie, but Zhan Tianfeng has the grace of passing on his art with him. And the most important point is that Mao Guanglie is not from a certain sect, he is just an idle innate powerhouse who was recruited by Kairongguo by chance.

Now his disciples have been valued by Zhan Tianfeng, and he has taught the royal mastery without reservation, so Cheng Fu has long treated Zhan Tianfeng with a teacher under Mao Guanglie's instructions.

Zhan Tianfeng nodded slightly and said, "If Kairong Kingdom has you to provoke the beam in the future, the old man can rest assured that he will retire." ”

Cheng Fu was stunned, and he hurriedly said, "Taishi, what are you talking about?"

Zhan Tianfeng laughed and said, "After you are promoted to the first line, you will understand the mood of us old immortals." He sighed and said, "The path of martial arts is full of twists and turns, but it is also full of unknown temptations, I really want to leave everything behind and go all out to advance to martial arts." ”

Cheng Fu opened his mouth to speak, in fact, it was the same in his heart, but Zhan Tianfeng had a great favor to him, if he handed over Kairong Kingdom to him, how could he leave......

Suddenly, a strange figure appeared in front of them, even Zhan Tianfeng only noticed it after this person appeared.

The faces of the two people changed greatly at the same time, but Zhan Tianfeng then saw this person's face clearly, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Senior brother, why are you here?"

As soon as Cheng Fu gathered the true qi of the fire system, he heard Zhan Tianfeng's words, he was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly dispersed the true qi in his body, although the meridians were faintly painful, but his face did not change.

Compared to the suffering he had suffered when he was cultivating, this was really too childish.

That person was on the border mountainside, looking like an ordinary middle-aged Taoist Zhan Xuan.

He nodded slightly towards Zhan Tianfeng, and his gaze fell on Cheng Fu's body. In his eyes, there was a hint of undisguised appreciation, and he was obviously very satisfied with Cheng Fu.

Zhan Tianfeng coughed lightly and said, "Cheng Fu, this is the old man's senior brother, you are called ......" He paused and said, "Just call it Uncle Shi." ”

Cheng Fu hesitated slightly, and immediately bowed down and said, "Disciple Cheng Fu, I have seen my uncle." ”

The two of them have adopted this title, and the relationship between their master and apprentice has been determined.

With their identity, since they have reached this point, they will definitely not deny it.

Zhan Xuan laughed out loud and said, "Okay, what a teacher." His hand groped twice on his body, and he was suddenly stunned, his face showed an extremely embarrassed look, and said: "Master Cheng, it's unfortunate that your uncle didn't bring you a meeting gift today, and when you succeed in the future and meet your ancestor, make up for it." ”

Cheng Fu responded in surprise, but in his heart, it was full of doubts.

There is such a strong man in Kairong Kingdom? Why have you never heard of it?

Zhan Xuan glanced at Zhan Tianfeng, Zhan Tianfeng nodded slightly, took Cheng Fu away, and then said, "Senior brother, how does it feel to return to your hometown?"

Zhan Xuan let out a long sigh and shook his head slightly.

Zhan Tianfeng's heart sank and asked, "What happened?"

Zhan Xuan stretched out his left hand, and on his hand, all five fingers were cut off......
