Half an hour later, Wei Jingren walked out of the carriage, exchanged a few words with the man in Tsing Yi, and then stepped into his carriage and went home.

After Wei Jingren walked away, the man in Tsing Yi sat in the carriage, and after seeing the tiredness on the face of the patriarch who could not be hidden, he hurriedly took out the pills in the dark box in the carriage and let the old man take two.

With the two pills in his stomach, Chen Boyu's face was flushed with an abnormal flush, and the whole person was much more energetic.

The old man squinted at the most talented grandson in the clan, stretched out his hand and motioned for the latter to sit down, and after the latter sat down, he murmured softly: "Our Chen clan has been dominating the south of the Yangtze River for many years, and even when the country was destroyed, it has never really died out, but why has it not been able to attack the north from the south and unify this great mountain and river? Do you know the reason?"

The man in Tsing Yi once killed the Xuanwolf Thousand Households of the Emperor and the City of the Xuanwolf Guard in Xinshi Town, and his name was Chen Dingguo.

Chen Dingguo touched the oil-paper umbrella in his hand and said: "The sons and daughters of the Chen family do not lack talent or talent, but they are a little more comfortable than others, and they always feel that the current glory and wealth are what they deserve, so they are not willing to give it up easily, so they are still so bad for so many years." ”

Chen Boyu said earnestly: "Look at Wei Shanhui, back then, he was just a secretary of the military department, in order to seek wealth and nobility, he dared to lead eight hundred soldiers to storm the palace gate and capture the current queen mother in one fell swoop, otherwise, it is Liang Ying, the king of Chu, who is now on the emperor's throne."

But if you look at it again, it's just that more than ten years have passed, and the Wei family's young Zhuang faction is already looking for a way back, and it lacks the courage to rush and kill back then.

Wei's is like this, and my Chen family is no exception, so I sometimes think that if I don't come to Luoyang while I can still move now, I'm afraid that I won't have a chance in the future. ”

Chen Dingguo comforted softly: "Grandpa, your body is still very strong, at least it can last for more than ten years, don't be so pessimistic." ”

Chen Boyu smiled lightly and said: "I know my body in my own heart, instead of struggling, it is better to obey the mandate of heaven and leave when it is time to leave."

My only wish is to see that Xiao Yu'er can find a wishful husband, someone to shelter her from the wind and rain, so that she will no longer be embarrassed by you cheeky guys. ”

Chen Dingguo smiled bitterly and said: "This matter is indeed the eldest brother's, and the future of the clan should not be put on a little girl, but I am weak and can't persuade them to change their minds, so I can only watch this burden fall on her shoulders." ”

Chen Boyu glanced in the direction of Jiangnan, snorted softly, and reprimanded: "If your eldest brother is put in an ordinary family, he must be a promising child, destined to become a feudal official, but our family has never lacked such talents."

If he can get rid of the craftsmanship in his body, the Chen family will definitely be able to go to the next level, and with the efforts of several generations, it may not be impossible to swallow the north from the south.

If he was small, he would not be able to develop the Wei clan to this point, but compared with Zhang Ziyi of the Pillar Kingdom, he would have half a point of deadly old-fashioned craftsmanship.

If it weren't for that, how could Wei Shanhui be entrenched in the post of secretary of the Ministry of War for more than ten years, if he was willing to move his nest, the emperor might not give him a king with a different surname, as for whether he could be hereditary, it would depend on the emperor's weighing and Wei's planning. ”

Looking at his grandson Chen Dingguo again, Chen Boyu's annoyance disappeared by half a point, and said with a smile: "You, if it weren't for your too casual and gentle temperament, I would definitely hand over the Chen family to you."

Compared with your eldest brother, you have more of a pure heart, but a little less of a sense of competition, if under your leadership, the Chen family will only become a Jiangnan family, and will not develop in that direction. ”

Chen Dingguo smiled indifferently and said: "Grandpa said that I am only suitable for contribution, not for hard work, if the family is controlled by me, it will definitely develop in the direction you don't want to see, and at that time, I am afraid that I will have no shame to see you." ”

Chen Boyu smiled, pointed to his grandson's forehead and said helplessly: "You, you, let me say hello to you." ”

Immediately, Chen Boyu changed his words and asked solemnly: "Are you sure that you will step into the Earth Immortal Realm within a year?"

Chen Dingguo thought seriously for a while, and said in a deep voice: "There is still half a point left." ”

In fact, as early as three years ago, Chen Dingguo had already glimpsed the method of breaking the realm, as long as he was willing, he could push open the door at any time and go straight to the fairyland.

It's just that he deliberately lingered in front of the door of the Earth Immortal Realm for three years, just so that he could drive straight into the door after crossing the door.

These three years of waiting and accumulation will make him far surpass ordinary peers after breaking through the realm.

Originally, he thought that his Dao had been consummated, but after the battle between Xinshi Town and that Emperor and the Emperor of the City, the Wolf Guard, and Luo Changhe, he found that he was still half a point short of perfection.

This half-point consummation will not affect the breaking of the realm, but it will become a flaw for him to move towards a higher realm in the future, or it can be regarded as a barrier.

Chen Boyu knew what it meant for cultivators to be half a point of consummation, and said with a smile: "Then don't worry, you are still young, you can wait more."

At least I don't have to worry when I'm here, I can still hold on for a while, and it's hard to have a reason why the old don't come out and let the little one top. ”

Chen Dingguo shook his head and said: "I am a member of the Chen family, as it should be, I can't enjoy the resources provided by the family without doing my due responsibility." ”

Chen Boyu smiled very gratifyingly and said, "If all the children of the Chen family think like you, then I don't have to worry so much." ”

After a while, Chen Boyu said again: "But don't affect yourself because of the constraints of the Chen family, you have done everything that should have been done and what should not have been done for so many years, you don't owe anything to the Chen family, there is no need to die here." ”

Chen Dingguo hummed lightly and didn't say anything more.

......

Meng Ran, who was sleepy and born early, tossed and turned on the bed for a long time, only to feel that he was getting more and more sober, so he had to put on his coat and get out of bed.

Pushing open the window facing the street, I saw that there were lights still lit on the street, most of the people had fallen asleep, and there were bursts of snoring in the autumn wind.

After standing for a while, Meng Ran didn't feel sleepy, turned around and put on his clothes, and came to the eaves.

Meng Ran looked at the bright Milky Way in the sky in a daze, and recalled the people and things that happened in the past in his mind one by one, and then the homesickness became more and more intense, penetrating through the surface of his body.

The half-quarter moon rises from the east, and the faint moonlight shines on the earth, making everything in the world covered with a light and faint light.

Meng Ran touched the Chungui knife in his hand, smiled lightly, and muttered inaudibly: "As soon as you enter the rivers and lakes, you will get old." ”

The young man with a young face was wearing a Confucian shirt and carrying a long knife at his waist, no matter how he pretended to be old, he could not reflect the sense of calmness and vicissitudes of life, and it would only look funny.

Someone on the eaves was admiring the moon, and when he heard Meng Ran's self-talk, he subconsciously glanced down at Meng Ran, and after being slightly stunned, he couldn't help laughing.

This man was a middle-aged man, dressed in a blue shirt, and carried a long sword at his waist very casually.

The man's long hair was pulled back indiscriminately, and a chopstick was inserted in the bun, which looked very funny.

It's just that the man's appearance is not funny, there are two sword eyebrows on a handsome face, with a sense of freedom and ease, and under a smile, the entire roof is illuminated a little, almost covering the moonlight.

Meng Ran found out that there were other people on the roof, and knowing that the other party heard his own words, he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and hurriedly stood up and looked at the last quarter moon in the eastern sky, so as to pretend that nothing had happened.

The middle-aged man was probably a little bored looking at the moon, put his hands behind his back, and looked at Meng Ran fixedly, and then his eyes showed appreciation and surprise.

Meng Ran was a little furious by this burning gaze, and unconsciously twisted his body to make himself less uncomfortable.

The middle-aged man smiled slightly and asked, "Little brother, are you here to participate in the Ji family's competition to recruit a son-in-law?"

Meng Ran shook his head decisively and said, "No, just passing by." ”

"Oh, is it just passing by?" the middle-aged man raised his eyebrows slightly, revealing a cynical smile, and asked in a teasing tone, "Is it really just passing by?"

Meng Ran didn't know the purpose of this person, and said with certainty: "Just passing by." ”

The middle-aged man smiled very strangely and asked, "Miss Ji Jia is beautiful and dignified, has both intelligence and cultivation talent, and can be described as the best among the younger generation, don't you really think about it?"

Meng Ran shook his head like a rattle, and said continuously: "No, no, thank you for the kindness of your predecessors, it's just that the kid is already interested in someone, and he will never participate in the Ji family competition to recruit a son-in-law." ”

"Oh, is it? You're so sure?" the middle-aged man asked with a smile, "If you had a sharp sword around your neck, would you change your mind?"

Intuition told Meng Ran that the middle-aged man in front of him was a character who did what he said, in this regard, Meng Ran had to smile bitterly and said: "The seniors are joking, the younger generations have neither a prominent family background nor outstanding talents, I am afraid that the seniors will fall in love by mistake." ”

The middle-aged man was not annoyed by Meng Ran's refusal, and said with a smile: "You are handsome and talented, you can just enter the family, and you can save the family a lot of work." ”

Meng Ran was about to open his mouth to refuse, but the long sword on the middle-aged man's waist was already unsheathed and gently rested on Meng Ran's neck.

The cold blade was close to Meng Ran's skin, causing countless hairs to stand on end.

The middle-aged man asked slowly, "Are you willing to participate in the Ji Family Competition to recruit a son-in-law now?"

The smile on Meng Ran's face became even more bitter, and he said in a low voice: "The kid has a marriage contract, which was made by his father before his death, and the kid doesn't dare to disobey it, so he asks his seniors for forgiveness." ”

The middle-aged man smiled slightly and said: "This is easy to do, which family's daughter is it? I will kill it, at that time, you will not have a marriage contract, and you can justifiably participate in the competition of the Ji family to recruit a son-in-law." ”

Meng Ran was irritable in his heart, but he didn't know how to deal with this crazy man who was speechless, so he had to harden his heart and say: "Kill your ancestor, it was your grandmother who made a marriage contract with me, and there is a kind of you going to kill her." ”

The middle-aged man replied calmly: "My grandmother passed away more than twenty years ago, so what you said is not true, so it is better to obediently follow me to participate in the martial arts competition and recruit a son-in-law." ”
