Chapter 16: The Family (II)
Things developed as Ji Honglian said, Yin He's statement about the Qingyu incident began to be gradually accepted by the Elders' Council, and on the third day, news came from the Inner Ring Land that someone found the remains of a monster that had never been seen five or six miles away from the forest, and from the outside, it was very similar to the black magic mantis that Yin He said, but for some reason, this monster had died tragically, and it seemed that the blood in the whole body had been sucked dry, and some of the flesh and blood on the body had been eaten.
The appearance of this monster corpse once again proved what Yin He said, and at the same time, the matter about that Xiao Wu that had been kept secret, it seemed that Elder Xiahou Yuan also let go of pursuing Yin He, it should be that he also knew that it was indeed not Yin He's business.
So, after five days under house arrest, Yin He finally came out of that house.
When he walked alone to the gate of the house, he saw a carriage parked outside, and then sat on the carriage of a large man with an unusually burly figure and a bear's waist, with several dark red markings on his cheeks on both sides, looking like a wild man.
Actually, this is not really a Terran, this is a desolate people.
Once upon a time, the strong, powerful Desert people were the masters of the land, but then the Terrans appeared and defeated them. Some of the desolate tribes perished, some of the desolate tribes surrendered, and some unwilling desolate tribes could not resist the offensive of the human army, so they hid and became desolate thieves who lived by plundering, and even many desolate tribes were very disgusted.
There are some desolate tribes that are subservient to the Holy City, and some of them will become servants of some powerful nobles or families in the Holy City for various reasons, and the Yin family can be regarded as a famous family in the Holy City, so they also have such a desolate servant, or a coachman.
Seeing Yin He walk out, the desolate coachman suddenly became happy, jumped off the carriage at once, and then stepped in front of Yin He in a few steps, muttering a lot of difficult words in his mouth, and then hugged Yin He's body, and then called out in a somewhat awkward Terran language, "Shao...... Master!"
For so many days, Yin He's expression had always been frozen and frozen, and it was only at this time that a smile appeared on his face after seeing this desolate coachman who was a whole head taller than him and even looked a little scary.
He greeted him, stretched out his hands, hugged him heavily, and said, "Long time no see, Red Bear." ”
Hearing Yin He's call, this desolate tribesman called Red Bear was obviously even happier, he laughed in his mouth, patted Yin He's shoulder hard, then turned around and pointed to the carriage, and said, "Go back...... Family. ”
Yin He smiled and nodded, but did not enter the spacious carriage, but jumped directly in front of the carriage, sat down next to the original position of the red bear, and then beckoned to the red bear.
The red bear laughed heartily and strode over.
Chi Xiong is the old man of the Yin He family, but in fact, his age is not very large. This desolate tribesman was abandoned by a sacred river outside the holy city when he was very young, and he was dying and was about to die, but he was seen by his mother, who was still young Yin He, who was passing by there, and saved him with kindness, and has been at home since then.
Since then, Chixiong has been following Yin He's mother, marrying into the Yin family, playing with the Yin He brothers since childhood, and it can be said that he watched them grow up. Especially after the death of Yin He's mother, there are only two masters in the eyes of the red bear, Yin He and his eldest brother.
The wheels of the carriage made a "clanging" sound on the hard bluestone pavement, and Yin He sat beside the red bear, looking at the bustling street and the huge city that could not be seen at a glance.
This is the Holy City!
This is where the supreme power of the Terrans lies, and it is also the symbol of the most powerful power of the Terrans.
In the end, no one came to pick him up, except for this last simple-minded red bear. Yin He looked ahead with a faint face, looking at the road that was getting closer and closer to home.
Is that home really welcoming him back?
It doesn't matter, though.
Yin He thought like this in his heart, thinking of his mother, thinking of his eldest brother, and thinking of what he had seen and heard these days, his eyes slowly became a little cold.
※※※
The Holy City is a huge city that gathers all the elites of the human race, where almost all the human races are gathered, containing incomparably powerful power, as well as countless darkness, ambitions, desires and beliefs behind the prosperity.
In the very center of the Holy City, a huge pyramid stands far higher than the surrounding buildings, and this is where the holiest temple of the human race is located. As we all know, the most powerful elders of the human race are here, and the main hall of the Celestial God Cult, which has mastered the secrets of witchcraft, is also at the highest point of this pyramid, which is the closest place to the Celestial Gods in the Holy City.
Most of the many famous families in the Holy City are proud to have their residences built near this great pyramid, and the Ji family is one of them.
Today's Ji clan is one of the most popular and prestigious families in the Holy City, the reason is very simple, their head Ji Hou is one of the three elders in the Council of Elders today, and the power is tilted towards the Holy City, and the Ji clan will naturally rise.
Ji Hou is in his prime, his prestige is high, and many people are in awe of this elder, but many people know that although Ji Hou has many children, the one he loves the most is the youngest daughter named Ji Honglian.
It is rumored that Ji Hou not only taught her personally, even if she was busy on weekdays, she would take the time to talk and chat with this daughter when she had free time, which was a good thing that other children could not enjoy, which made people envious.
On the day that Yin He finally left, Ji Honglian also saw her father, who was respected and feared by many people, in Ji Hou's study in the Ji family's mansion.
Ji Hou was reading, and when he heard Ji Honglian walk in, he didn't get up, he still sat like that, just waved his chin slightly, and motioned for his daughter to sit down on the side.
Compared with most brothers and sisters who would tremble when they arrived at their father, Ji Honglian seemed very natural and casual here, and she even stepped forward to lift the lid of the teacup on the table to see if the tea inside was cold. After confirming, she went directly to the side and poured cold tea, went to the teapot and poured a cup of hot tea, and put it in front of her father Ji Hou.
Ji Hou smiled slightly, put down the scroll in his hand, picked up the teacup and took a sip, looking at this daughter with love in her eyes, and then asked, "Did the kid from the Yin family go back today?"
Ji Honglian said: "It was released today, calculate the time, and now it's almost home." ”
"Hmm. Ji Hou nodded and didn't say anything more.
Ji Honglian thought for a while and said to Ji Hou: "Dad, Yin He asked me to thank you, saying that if you didn't mediate, he wouldn't have been able to get out so quickly." When he got home and settled down, he came to the door to ask to see you, and then he would thank you in person. ”
Ji Hou glanced at this daughter with a smile and said, "Okay, although I don't usually see everyone, but for the sake of my good daughter's face, I'll make an exception to see him." ”
Ji Honglian suddenly became happy, nodded again and again, and then turned straight and said, "By the way, Dad, have you thought about what I told you last time?"
"What's the matter?" asked Ji Hou.
"It's the Yin family's side of the matter, Yin He's father and that fox spirit woman, united to frame Yin He, and deprive him of the qualification to inherit the head of the family, it's too hateful, you must take care of it!"
Ji Hou shook his head and said, "Don't think about it, I won't care about this matter." ”
