There are dozens of delicacies on the table, and the aroma of the dishes is so fragrant that it makes people feel the appetite. Huo Xuan, Li Hao and others sat around the table, but no one stretched out their chopsticks, their faces were heavy and the atmosphere was depressed.
“...... After you left, the eldest young master, on the second day, the city lord brought his courtiers to go to find Ye Tianmeng and Tian Gui, and he exchanged the position of the city lord for Ye Tianmeng's promise, and the grievances between the two families were over, and no one from the Flame Sect was allowed to retaliate against the eldest young master in the future. Ye Tianmeng, the old horseman, had a falling out with the city lord back then, because of the position of the city lord of Lijiang City. Now that his son has been deposed, he has been given the position of the lord of a city, and he has also tasted his long-cherished wish, and even if he agrees. As for Tian Gui, his apprentice only suffered some flesh wounds and lost some money, and it was over. ”
Li Hao told the story. Huo Xuan heard it in his ears, and his heart was unspeakably bitter and uncomfortable. He is the most aware of the importance of the position of the city lord of Lijiang City to the Huo family. Since the decline of the Huo family, for nearly a thousand years, the Huo family has not produced a decent talent. It wasn't until Huo Baishan's generation that he improved, he was talented, and when he was young, he showed his majesty in the county government martial arts competition, defeated nearly 100 warriors in a row, and was recognized by the Martial Arts League, and was appointed by the Great Qin Dynasty to become the lord of Lijiang City.
This is the most glorious event of the Huo family in the past thousand years, but unfortunately, because of their own involvement, the Huo family has lost the power to control Lijiang City, and the prestige of the family goes without saying that it must be greatly damaged.
"The city lord stepped down, and the city guards were immediately taken over by Ye Tianmeng. We have received great favor from the city lord, so we naturally do not want to be sent by Ye Tianmeng, an old horseman. As a result, nearly half of the city guard brothers left their jobs to join the Huo family and continue to follow the city lord. ”
Hearing this, Huo Xuan looked at Li Hao's gaze, full of gratitude. You must know that in the land of Kyushu, the guards of all cities and towns are under the control of the Great Qin Dynasty, and after the successive city lords leave office, the city guards will be in charge of the successor. Li Hao, as the commander of the city guards, eats the king, although he was promoted by Huo Baishan, he has little to do with the Huo family. With his cultivation, if he stays in the position of commander, even Ye Tianmeng will be greatly used. Now, he has left his post with Huo Baishan, which shows his loyalty.
"After the city lord stepped down, he concentrated on taking care of the family business, but he also ended up at ease. With him in charge of the Huo family, even if Ye Tianmeng and Tian Gui made some small moves from time to time, they only dared to do it secretly behind their backs, and they didn't dare to put it on the table, which couldn't hurt the foundation of the Huo family. Speaking of this, Li Hao's expression darkened, his tone was sad, and he said: "Unexpectedly, half a year later, the city lord suddenly left a book and left home, and he wanted to go to a secret place to retreat, impact the big bottleneck, seek to break through the bone quenching realm, and achieve the method of refining the gang realm." ”
Yes!
Huo Xuan couldn't help but lose his voice after hearing this. As a martial artist, he naturally knows best that cultivating martial arts is like the way to the peak, the higher you go, the more difficult it becomes. If it is said that it is easy for an acquired martial artist to break through the innate and there is not much hindrance, then it is very difficult for the innate martial artist to break through the quenching bone realm, and there is less than one in a thousand successes. However, a Bone Quenching Realm martial artist like Huo Baishan wants to break through the bottleneck and become a Refining Gang Realm martial artist, which is even more difficult, even if he is fully prepared, the chance of success is very slim.
The martial artist refines the Gang realm, the true yuan turns nine, and the hundred refinements become Gang. Gang Qi is indestructible. Even if there is no martial arts blessing, just by relying on the qi alone, there is the power of splitting rocks and splitting mountains with every move!
If the Bone Quenching Realm martial artist is the hero of one side, then the Refining Gang Realm martial artist is enough to be called a powerful man with a great reputation in the land of Kyushu. But if a martial artist wants to reach such a realm, it is rare among millions of people to reach all living beings!
"He, can he say when he will go home?" Although Huo Xuan still refused to call 'that person' father, when he asked this, his face couldn't help but show a worried look.
Li Hao took a deep look at him, shook his head and sighed, and said: "The city lord left a book, and it is extremely dangerous to go here, and if he doesn't succeed, he will become a benevolent." If he does not return to Lijiang City after half a year, the position of the head of the Huo family will be handed over to his wife for the time being. ”
"...... in half a year" Huo Xuan's face was full of distraction after hearing this.
"Counting the time, the city lord has been away from home for nearly three years, and there has been no news so far. At the beginning, Ye Tianmeng and Tian Gui, the two old horsemen, were still a little jealous in their hearts, but later, when they saw that the city lord had not returned, and his life and death were unknown, they no longer had any scruples, and the two joined forces to suppress the Huo family's industry in the city. In less than two years, the Huo family's shop business in Lijiang City has been compressed to less than 30%. In recent months, these two old horsemen have become more and more rampant, and at the instigation of Tian Gui, Ye Tianmeng took advantage of the power of the city lord to suppress the Huo family's only a dozen or so shops in all aspects. ”
Speaking of this, Li Hao's face was full of helplessness, he sighed, and continued: "Our resigned city guard brothers, plus nearly three hundred people from the Huo family, the daily expenses are a lot of money. The city lord can support him in fashion, and without him in charge, the Huo family can no longer be maintained. Madame is kind-hearted, afraid that we will be trapped and die in the Huo family, so she sold her business, and gave me and others a severance pay, so that we could find another way. ”
Hearing this, Huo Xuan was filled with anger and hatred in his heart. He didn't expect that after just over three years away from home, the family would decline under the suppression of the enemy.
"Tian Gui! Ye Tianmeng!"
The names of the two men popped out between his teeth, his hands clenched, and his bones crackled.
"Big young master, now that the brothers of the city guards have basically been dismissed, only seven of us are left. Li Hao looked at Huo Xuan at this moment and said in a deep voice: "In the past two years, the family business has been struggling, and the earlier savings have been exhausted. In order to dismiss the brothers, the lady took out the last bit of money. Today, the Huo family's industry in Lijiang City is only one medical hall and two pharmacies. Even so, Ye Tian's two old horsemen still refused to let go, snatched it by skill, and suppressed it in every possible way, wanting to swallow the only remaining family business of the Huo family. This time, they teamed up to raise the price of medicinal herbs in order to cut off the business of the medical hall pharmacy. Madame really has no choice, let me wait to go to Gangneung City and ask your aunt for help. ”
Huo Xuan's aunt, Huo Zijun, had married into a medium-sized family in Jiangling City, thousands of miles away from Lijiang City, when Huo Xuan was five years old. The two places are far apart, and Huo Xuan has not seen his aunt for many years.
"Young Master, you have grown up now, as the son and grandson of the Huo family, you have the responsibility to protect your family. Li Hao raised his wine glass and drank it all, he looked at Huo Xuan with bright eyes, and said seriously: "In the future...... Stop being willful!"
Seeing Li Hao and the others with frosty faces, there was a sense of exhaustion between their eyebrows, thinking that it was caused by rushing day and night. Huo Xuan felt ashamed. Outsiders can still share their worries and sorrows for the Huo family like this, and he, as the son and grandson of the Huo family, what has he done for his family over the years?
willful, rebellious, spending, and uninhibited. These sixteen words are the gift he brought to the family.
"yes...... It's time for me to do something for my family......"
At this moment, he suddenly seemed to be enlightened. No matter what, what flows in his bones is the blood of the Huo family. The glory of the ancestors, the glory of the family, even if he gives up his life, he must protect it, and it is his duty!
"I want to go back to Lijiang City!"
Huo Xuan looked at Li Hao and the others, and said slowly word by word.
