Chapter 18: Movements of the Ho Mansion
To the north of the Hongtian Dynasty was a flat grassland that stretched for thousands of miles, and at the end of the grassland was the domain of another dynasty. Use this steppe as a dividing point to separate the two dynasties.
Here, there is a famous city, the name of the frontier. The territory is larger and more vast than Yue Rong, but it is not as prosperous as Yue Rong. This is all because of regional differences, the population of the north is sparse, forming a situation of vast land and sparse population, so that the economy of the north cannot be unified.
In addition, there is another reason, because Gaine is often harassed by neighboring dynasties, and war may break out at any time.
In order to prevent the invasion of neighboring dynasties, the Hongtian Dynasty established a school in Yanjiang, and since then, peace has been restored here, and the friction between the two dynasties continues, but no major war broke out, and gradually people moved here to settle down.
At this time, in the city of Yanjiang Prefecture, a horse-drawn carriage galloped over, and countless pedestrians on the street watched the carriage pass by, all in awe and reverence. In the conspicuous place of this carriage, you can clearly see a gold-powder painted logo, which is an eagle with wings spread high.
In Yanjiang, except for the people from the City Lord's Mansion, no one dared to use this symbol at all. The carriage passed slowly through the street, and passers-by stopped on the side of the street, their eyes flashing with reverence and yearning.
"This is Hefu's carriage, I don't know who is in it?"
"You stupid, no one has gone out in He Mansion this month, calculating the time, it can only be that Miss He is back, and the people inside must be Miss He. ”
"That's right, it is said that the school sent the master to negotiate with Yue Rong for the chess competition at the end of the year, and Yue Rong Academy won the first place last year, and this year's rules need to be read by Yue Rong Academy. I heard that Miss He followed, looking at the current situation, this matter is not far from ten. ”
"Last year, Yue Rong was a genius, this year we have a big lady in Lujiang, I think this year's champion must be our Lujiang Academy. ”
The carriage was moving away, and the chatter in the streets continued unabated.
In the carriage, He Mingming's face was solemn, and it was He Xin'er on the side. In fact, the master who went to Yue Rong this time was He Xin'er's second uncle He Mingming, and on the way back, He Xin'er had already told him about Jing Yifan. He Mingliang didn't expect that he would know such an important thing when he went to Yue Rong this time, so he rushed back non-stop.
Because this matter is not good news for Lujiang, this year, the Lujiang Academy has put all its efforts on He Xin'er, it can be said that He Xin'er's failure is the failure of Lujiang, he does not dare to slack off on this matter, and needs to inform He Mingguang, the head of the He family, as soon as possible.
The car was quiet, He Xin'er sat quietly on the side, not daring to say a word, every time He Mingliang asked, he answered one or two, and the rest of the time, he was silent.
In a moment, the carriage stopped, and a huge mansion appeared in front of me. This is the city lord's mansion of the city of Yanjiang, and it is also the mansion of the He family, and the contemporary head of the He family, He Mingguang, has an identity that cannot be ignored, that is, the city lord of the river.
"Xin'er, you come with me to see your father. After getting out of the carriage, He Mingliang said to He Xin'er, and hurriedly walked into the City Lord's Mansion.
The deadline for the monthly test is three days, and these three days passed quickly, Jing Yifan stayed in the inner courtyard for the past three days and did not go out for a single step, in fact, Xiao Yun did not let him leave. Since listening to Jing Yifan's tirade, Xiao Yun has been like a child who has tasted honey, and he is reluctant to let him go.
Jing Yifan couldn't say if he was bitter, but he didn't expect to integrate some of the views of his previous life into this world, which would make this dean addicted to it. Fortunately, the monthly test was only three days, and in a blink of an eye, Jing Yifan was finally released.
"Alright, that's all for this time. Xiao Yun looked at Jing Yifan with unfinished eyes, if it wasn't for the fact that he didn't want outsiders to know that Jing Yifan was special, he really wanted to detain Jing Yifan here.
"Whew. Jing Yifan breathed a deep sigh of relief, he was really tired in the past three days. Now that I'm saved, I still feel like I've escaped death.
"You don't have to take the monthly exam next month, just come here and continue to explain chess to me, now you can go back first. ”
"Yes. ”
Jing Yifan retreated and walked out, Xiao Yun still had a look of reluctance on his face.
"Can you reach the Holy Hand stage, it's still on this son!I hope you can help me break through this time." ”
Xiao Yun has been staying in the Yu Qi stage for many years, and after listening to Jing Yifan's views in the past few days, he found that the unbreakable neck bottle finally began to loosen, and at this time, he was eager to break through, eager to reach that stage where countless people sighed.
Just when Xiao Yun was excited about his breakthrough in chess skills, in the He Mansion of Yanjiang, it was like a great enemy.
He Mingguang sat on the main seat, and He Mingliang and He Xin'er stood on the side alone, just now he had learned everything from He Mingming's mouth, and he also got affirmation from He Xin'er. In short, there is one thing, another genius has appeared in Yue Rong Academy. Within two years, Yue Rong appeared two chess geniuses one after another, and such a thing was completely unheard of and unheard of.
"Knock knock. ”
The sound of pacing sounded in the hall from time to time, He Mingguang frowned, and looked at He Xin'er, "Xin'er, you just came back, go down to rest first, and go back to the school tomorrow, without my password, you must not leave the school one step." ”
After He Xin'er left, He Mingliang finally couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Big brother, how do you think we should deal with this matter?" was taken the first place by that Mu Changfeng last year, and last year's Mu Changfeng's strength was not as good as the current Xin'er, could it be said that the young man in Yue Rong Academy was already a saint?"
Sixteen-year-old chess master, He Mingliang couldn't believe that even if he started learning chess from his mother's womb, few people could achieve such high achievements. Unless it's those demons that haven't been encountered for thousands of years, but it's a little inappropriate to have such demons for two consecutive years.
"Let's not mention this matter for the time being, you send someone to secretly find out the identity of that young man, and find out what family is able to cultivate such a talent. ”
Holy Hands?
Jokes, the evil of all in 10,000, how can they appear when they appear.
If it is really a holy hand, it is impossible not to hear any news in advance, He Xin'er has reached the peak of Yu Qi, and she is only one step away from the holy hand, there is still half a year before the chess competition at the end of the year, and he is confident that his daughter will reach the holy hand within half a year.
However, he couldn't calm down in his heart, the person who can defeat his daughter now, will there be no progress in half a year?
"Second brother, you still have to go to investigate the matter in person, don't leak any rumors, if that young man is really already at the Holy Hand stage, he will definitely achieve extraordinary achievements in the future. We must not be hostile to it for the time being, and we must make friends with it. Oh, by the way, I heard that Blizzard has returned from school, and I haven't had time to visit yet, but it's my uncle's fault. Second brother, you wait a moment to greet me and tell her about it, I think the person who wants to know the strength of that young man more than us will never be us. ”
"Big brother, do you want to ......" He Mingliang looked at the man in front of him in shock, speechless for a while.
In his heart, the eldest brother will always be above board, but now he will do such a thing, which has completely subverted the image of the eldest brother in his heart.
"Second brother, I am also helpless, for the sake of the family, you will understand my hardships in the future. Our He family has done a lot for Feixue, and now it's time for her to do something for the family. ”
"That'...... On Mu Changfeng's side, if there is any accident in Feixue, I'm afraid Mu Changfeng will not give up. He Mingliang said with some concern.
The full name of the flying snow in their mouths is Lifeixue. It is one of the all-rounders in the north and south mentioned in the sentence "The long wind south of Yique is the strongest, and the snow north of Yique is the most beautiful!". As the second place in last year's chess competition, Li Feixue has already reached the stage of holy hands. Before that, she was the first young generation in Yanjiang chess skills, and now He Xin'er is about to reach the stage of the holy hand, and there is already a tendency to catch up, He Mingguang will not cultivate a person with a foreign surname for the sake of the He family.
A hint of fierceness flashed in He Mingguang's eyes, and he recalled the scene from a year ago in his mind......
"Master of the He family, I hope you will remember my words today, three years later, I Mu Changfeng will come to marry Feixue, during this period, if Feixue is damaged in the slightest, I will make everyone in the He family pay the price!"
"Mu Changfeng, don't think that you can do whatever you want if you win the first place, this is the He family, not the Mu family. ”
"The He family, joke, am I afraid of the He family? I forgot to tell you, I have already qualified for the game competition in a year, this is specially approved by the royal capital, I think I still have the right to make a family disappear from this world, does the head of the He family want to try?"
"You, you, you ......"
"The head of the He family remembers, three years later, I Mu Changfeng will come to marry Feixue in person, haha!"
He Mingguang never forgot the humiliation of that day. He even held a grudge against Feixue, but because of Mu Changfeng, he never did anything excessive.
Every four years, the Hongtian Dynasty would hold a dynasty-wide game tournament, and those who qualified for the competition were chess geniuses from all over the world. And as long as you have this qualification, you can get the attention of the dynasty. As Mu Changfeng said, it is not empty talk that a dynasty can destroy a family for the sake of a chess genius. Because the higher the rank, the higher the status, and the greater the value to the Hongtian Dynasty, a family is really nothing compared to it.
Since He Mingguang knew He Xin'er's terrible talent, he had a plan to treat Li Feixue as an outcast. Jing Yifan's sudden appearance this time is a good opportunity, if Li Feixue knows that Yue Rong has a genius, he will definitely go to compete, because the game is only half a year later, and the sudden threat will definitely make her uneasy.
He Mingguang believes that she will go, as long as she goes, it will be a win-win situation for the He family. If she wins, you can know the strength of that young man; if she loses, she will face a broken state of mind, leaving Mu Changfeng as a wasted person, who can not only wash away the shame, but also destroy Li Feixue. This is what He Mingguang wants, no matter what the result is, the biggest winner is him.
