Chapter 324: Rush and Disappointment
The two people who came with Wang Miao are the He family, a woman in their family, who married into the Wang family more than 100 years ago, although she has long since passed away and has almost stopped moving in recent years, but after all, the two sides are still somewhat related, and the He family can only ask for help from the Wang family, which has been weak in recent years.
At this time, the backbone of the Wang family was still there, but he didn't dare to call the shots, and somehow, the head of the family's jade slip could not be connected, so he could only at least rush over, and eight horses had died along the way.
"The head of my family has already stated that as long as he wins the first place this time, half of those heavenly spirit stones can be divided as a reward. After all, between our two families, we are still relatives" The tone of the He family is very sincere, but in their demeanor, there is still a touch of arrogance, yes, no one will refuse the temptation of the Heavenly Spirit Stone, and I will invite you at this time, but for your own good. Of course, the He family did not dare to invite outsiders to prevent the wolf from entering the house, but it was absolutely impossible to mention it at this time.
All this did not escape the eyes of Wang Le and Duan Qing, and after looking at each other, Wang Le said to the Nahe family: "Since they are relatives, what kind of remuneration do you mention, this is too far, we should have watched and helped each other." ”
The He family was happy: "That's right, relatives, you can't contact when you have nothing to do, and you can't see anyone when you have something." Actually, the head of the family originally wanted to come in person, but unfortunately the matter is urgent, and there are too many things that need to be done, and I think the virtuous niece should also understand. ”
"Okay, let's go. Wang Le readily agreed, and then looked at Duan Qing: "Let's go together?"
Duan Qing seemed to rub his nose a little shyly, "You are a big girl like a flower, I really don't feel at ease, so let's go together." ”
The He family frowned secretly, they didn't see anything special about this kid, but the stone in their hearts finally fell to the ground, as long as the Wang family was willing to go out, with the now down-and-out Wang family, they were bound to fight for the spirit stone of that day, so that the He family's chances of winning would be greatly increased, and the family's losses could also be reduced, this was a benefit that outsiders, or those strong families, could not exchange, the decision of the head of the family was really wise! He was happy in his heart, and looked at Duan Qing: "This is?"
"My friend. Wang Le said lightly, and then began to whip up the horse, looking at the posture, he couldn't wait, the corner of the He family's mouth raised a smile, and they also began to beat the horse, not even looking at the intestines that were following on the side.
Along the way, although the speed is not as fast as when it came, it is not slow, after all, as long as you rush back to the double castle where the He family is located a few days in advance, and use a few days to repair it, because the He family knows those opponents too well, they have never left that area in their lives, and there are no relatives and foreign aid like the Wang family to invite, so they just simply urged a few times, and then stopped urging.
Half a month later, I came to a fork in the road, to the left is the direction of the Twin Castles, where it is close to the sea, and to the right is the endless mountains, in which the Wang family is located.
When resting and eating, the person of the He family took the initiative to open up, his name is He Pingfan, his ability at home is similar to his name, it is very ordinary, but he won the trust of the head of the family He Qingping, and explained the scale he should handle, he should be tough when he should be tough, let them have gratitude, it is the cooperation of charity, not begging, otherwise it will be difficult to do it at that time, this person is really obedient, I didn't see anything else, but He Qingping's explanation was completed completely.
He tore off a piece of roasted steamed buns, raised his hand and pointed to the plains, and said: "If you go here for another nine days, you will arrive at the Twin Castles. ”
Wang Le responded with a smile: "That's really good, I've lived in the mountains for a long time, and I have forgotten what seafood tastes like, so don't feel distressed when the time comes." ”
"How do you say this, even if it is not as long as the Wang family, the He family has a history of two hundred years, and our He family is not so stingy. He Pingfan bared his teeth and smiled, looking heroic and dry.
"Good. Wang Le smiled faintly, as the head of a thousand-year-old family, the other party's Xiaomin consciousness is naturally in his eyes, but he won't mind, just like He Pingfan said, there is a kinship relationship with each other, which is enough, in fact, she prefers to refuse the other party's reward, but the relatives simply help each other, and they are worried that the other party has no bottom in their hearts, so they did not refuse, and Duan Qing's follow, she also understands that the two sides are friends, the kind of friend who can really give his back to the other party, with his existence, the odds will not just increase. She didn't care what the He family thought, for a twin castle, it was already the whole of their lives, and they couldn't expect how big their pattern was and how far they could see.
In fact, Duan Qing can completely use the starship, and the journey of nearly a month is shortened to three days, but Duan Qing has his own considerations, using the starship will make the opponent of the He family alert and increase the difficulty for himself, Duan Qing will definitely not do it.
After continuing to run for eight days, you can see the endless plain on the other side of the sea, during which there are occasionally a few mountain ranges, the height is not more than a few tens of zhang, compared with the interior, it can only be regarded as a mountain bag composed of stones and soil, the air becomes moist, the most obvious is the plants, or oil green, as if the effect of the change of seasons has become very small here.
Finally, when stepping on a hill, looking into the distance, you can see the appearance of a city, a column of horses composed of more than a dozen horses galloped wildly, it was a group of young men, wearing clothes with the logo of the He family, warmly welcomed, after surrounding Duan Qing and everyone for a week, they took the lead in running to the double castle where the He family was located, which was a kind of etiquette.
Not long after, when approaching the city, there were more than 20 people standing outside the city gate, led by a sturdy old man, on both sides stood three middle-aged people, four women and two men, and behind was a row of young people, twelve or thirteen, the eldest was in his thirties, and the younger was six or seven years old, holding a sugar gourd in his hand, a string of snot bubbles hanging under his nose, and a front tooth was missing when he laughed, and it seemed that he had reached the age of changing his teeth.
The leader of the old man is He Qingping, the head of the He family, who is sixty-seven years old this year, and is still in the prime of life among the monks, but his cultivation is not high, only the Jindan period is sixfold, especially when he was forty years old, he was seriously injured in a dispute with a foreign clan, and since then his cultivation has not regressed, and it is exactly like this, so his children, much more than other family heads, probably put the extra time on that matter.
Even so, he is still the pillar of the family, because only one person in the next generation has reached the sixth level of the Jindan period, and the others are still working hard in the second and third stages of the Jindan period, as for the younger generation, although He Qingping has high hopes, the harvest is not proportional, so far, only one girl has reached the Jindan stage, and the rest of the grandchildren are not even qualified to go to the sect to do miscellaneous labor.
However, He Qingping is also a master who dares to fight, even so, the family strength is still ranked third among the four families of the Double Castle, and the Pan family, which is in the fourth place, is pressed to death, not giving him any chance to take the position, the other two are the Du family who are in the first place and the Liu family who are always unconvinced.
In fact, the size of the four major families is almost the same, and the biggest difference is that the Du family has a peak master of the Jindan period, although he is over seventy years old and has not broken through in his cultivation for more than 20 years, he still firmly holds the name of the first family in the hands of the Du family.
And the reason why the Liu family ranks behind the Du family is that the Liu family has only cultivated one descendant of the Jindan period of eight times over the years, and as for the Pan family at the end, only one person has reached the sixth level of the Jindan period, and against the two Jindan period six of the Shanghe family, naturally there is no chance of winning.
After greeting Duan Qing and Wang Le, He Qingping welcomed him and introduced the current situation of the two castles, but Duan Qing still saw He Qingping frowning, but he didn't show it when he introduced the situation, he was enthusiastic, after all, he knew that Wang Le was the current head of the Wang family.
His original expectation was that the Wang family would send a Yuan Infant Stage over, so that the Heavenly Spirit Stone would definitely be in his hands, but how did he know that the current Wang family was no longer the Wang family of the past, and the only remaining Yuan Infant Stage master at the ancestor level could not easily leave the family station, and most of the remaining young generations were idle people, and those who occasionally worked hard had no talent.
Probably, this is the reason why many families are rich for only three generations, because the younger generations don't know how to cherish the foundation that their ancestors fought so hard to build back then, and they care more about their mood and face.
"The thousand-year-old royal family, is it going to be over?" He Qingping thought so in his heart, his mouth became more and more bland, and the enthusiasm on his face began to be a little reluctant at this time, and the banquet was also on the grounds that he was in his body for important things and could not drink more, and the disciples who had been arranged after drinking two glasses of water and wine went back to the backyard to rest under the pretext of discussing important matters.
"Dad, what should I do?"
After the old man left, for the sake of the family's face, these second generations of the He family barely maintained until the guests ate a bowl of rice and took the initiative to say that they were tired on the road and wanted to wash and rest, which was said by the young man, which made the He family breathe a sigh of relief, and hurried to the backyard with a polite sentence, and the second and third generations all arrived, including He Pingfan.
At this time, it was the second-generation boss He Pingwu who spoke, he was the second six-fold master of the He family, and he had always regarded the family's major affairs as his own responsibility, and when he saw the assistance that was coming, he suddenly lost his confidence in his heart: "The head of the Wang family is young and promising, and while managing family affairs, he can also reach the sevenfold Jindan period, which is definitely not simple, but the friend of the Wang family master who came to help the boxing, judging by the breath, is just the appearance of the fourfold Jindan period, where is this to help the boxing, isn't this here to give gifts!"
"Yes, Dad, you see that kid looks like he has nothing to do with himself, I'm so angry... Alas!" The second child of the He family hated his thigh, and turned his head to look at He Pingfan: "I said the third child, there are only a few men in the family, and my father trusts you so much, so you invited such a person back?"
He Pingfan's face was full of grievances, "This is still the head of the Wang family who came in person, you haven't gone to the Wang family's land to see it, I think in addition to the scale is much larger, some years of accumulation, it is not as good as our family." They're unavailable!"
It was unfortunate that He Pingfan arrived at the time of the Wang family's elite, all of whom had been sent by Wang Le to Baihuamen to study and travel, and the two good hands that Wang Le followed with him were killed and seriously injured, not to mention that Duan Qing's Xingchen Hall had just been repaired for more than a month, so he only saw that it was all a mess and depression, as for what happened, he didn't know, and he didn't want to know.
He Qingping's old face was full of speechlessness, he sighed and waved his hand: "Go and accompany the guests more, even if you can't help much, you can't lose your courtesy, it's a big deal that you won't communicate anymore after this matter..."
Before He Qingping finished speaking, a violent roar suddenly sounded in the sky, and everyone looked through the window, only to see a starship falling from the sky, and the strong power made everyone's scalp tingle.
