Chapter 67 On the Road
Chapter 67: Going on the road
A sound of horse hooves trampling on the ground came from the avenue.
The horse team came from the capital Tianluo City and entered the county town. After contacting the Cheng family, they immediately rushed to Hejiazhuang without stopping.
The horses in the horse team are all famous northwest dark horses. These dark horses have tall skeletons, thin ankles, and their wide chests are bulging with blocky muscle keys. In the sun, their furs shine like black satin. Although they are far from comparable to He Yiming's red silk horse, they are also special horses that are one in a hundred.
If you want to buy one or two of such a good horse in the northwest, it is naturally not difficult, but if you want to buy more than a hundred horses and form a horse team, it is not easy.
In the Tianluo Kingdom, there will definitely be no more than ten companies with such large-scale investments, and this group naturally comes from the Yu family of the Tianluo Royal Family.
Half a day later, when the carriage stopped before Hejiazhuang, a riot suddenly caused. Not only He Quanyi came out to greet him, but even Lin Taoli also came out.
He Yiming, who is studying how to integrate the power of clouds and rain into boxing in his own courtyard, finally received news from the people from the Yu family of the royal family.
When he arrived at the hall, he immediately saw He Wude and other second-generation third brothers and elder brothers were present in one day.
In order to receive the royal family, even He Quanming returned from the county town. In Hejiazhuang, the only one who did not leave seclusion and ignored him was He Laibao, who was trying his best to strive for the internal strength of the tenth floor.
His eyes swept through the hall. In addition to the He family, Cheng Ningsheng, Cheng Jiahui and his son were also sitting by. What surprised him even more was that even the old man Xu Yinjie and Xu Xiangqian in Xu Family Fort, as well as Lin Taoli from Linlang Lin family were among them.
He smiled bitterly in his heart. The name of the royal family in Tianluo Kingdom really has great magic for the small place in Taicang County. The three major families would gather together for a royal representative. This is a manifestation of lack of confidence.
If they were in the Huowu Kingdom, with the power of the Xie family, even if the Huowu Kingdom Lord came in person, they would not have sent their whole family.
He sighed in his heart, but his eyes fell on the two strangers in the hall.
One of the two people looked like a bad old man. His lips were closed tightly, as if he was afraid of making a sound from it, but the center of his eyes was always flashing with a hint of lust that ordinary people could not find.
He Yiming had already opened up at a glance. The old man's internal energy cultivation was not inferior to his grandfather. He was at the peak of the tenth level of internal energy. It seemed that as long as he took one step, he could break through the barrier and advance to the innate level.
Of course, this step seems simple, but it is extremely difficult to really take it through.
There are not many people at the peak of the tenth level of internal strength, but in the end, there are only ones who can truly take this step.
It not only requires extraordinary perseverance, but also super strong luck. Obviously, this old man probably can't see such good luck.
Aside this old man, standing side by side with him was a young man.
The man had a handsome face, with a piece of green jade on his forehead, two jade rings inlaid with big gold rings on his ears, wide cuffs and collars, a face and hands symbolizing hard work, a straight nose bridge, a slightly melancholy gentle look. Even He Yiming had to admit that he was really handsome.
After seeing He Yiming, the two people also showed a hint of surprise in their eyes. Although they quickly concealed the past, how could they hide it from these people in the hall?
The two of them actually knew that He Yiming was young, but when they really saw him, they couldn't help but sigh in surprise from the bottom of their hearts. In this way, the sutra was already a congenital strong man. How did they practice this? Especially the old man, he had a hint of melancholy and a little jealous.
However, he did not dare to express his jealous expression no matter what. To be jealous of a congenital strong man would be a silly act of seeking death.
"Yiming, come here quickly, I'll introduce it to you." He Wude said with a smile. Obviously, his conversation with these two people just now was very pleasant: "This is His Highness Yu Xiaoyi, the eldest son of the contemporary king."
Yu Xiaoyi bowed slightly and said, "I have met Master He."
He Yiming stretched out his hand and said, "You don't have to be polite. Your Highness is here to welcome you."
Yu Xiaoyi was puzzled. Master He’s attitude was really good.
Although he is the crown prince of Tianluo Kingdom, he also knows the status of the innate powerhouse in the country. When facing the royal family, Shui Xuanjin, the only country-protecting wizard in Tianluo Kingdom, had no good face except His Majesty.
"This is Mr. Xue Lie." He Wude paused and said, "Mr. Xue Lie is the chief disciple of Master Shui Xuanjin. He is famous in our Tianluo Kingdom and is known as the first among the ten masters of the internal strength."
A smile appeared on the corner of He Yiming's mouth, but it was not surprising to this name. Since he was the apprentice of the innate powerful man, he naturally got the moon first.
If you can master an innate technique and add a treasure, then it seems not difficult to be the leader among the same level.
Don’t forget that the two brothers of the Xiao family in the past can compete with their uncle with the ninth level of internal strength. This is definitely an incredible thing in the eyes of ordinary people.
Xue Lie's attitude seemed much more respectful. He strode forward without caring about the age gap between them at all, and bowed deeply: "Xue Lie has met Master He."
He Yiming frowned slightly, stretched out his hand and immediately helped him up, saying, "Mr. Xue, don't need to be polite."
Although He Yiming's movements were not big, and he just raised it lightly, it shocked Xue Lie. Because he found that he seemed to have no resistance at all in front of the other party.
He had only sensed this feeling in his teacher before.
At this point, he finally completely believed that the young and overly young man in front of him was indeed a congenital strong man.
He Yiming's eyes swept over the people of Cheng and Xu Er family, nodded slightly and smiled at them. Cheng Ningsheng and others naturally bowed their hands to return the gift.
They were originally sitting and chatting, but when He Yiming came in, everyone stood up automatically, and even the people in the He family were no exception.
"Yiming, this time Your Highness has brought us a lot of good things." He Wude's voice contained a strong unconcealed joy.
Although Taicang County was attacked by a horse thief that had not been seen in a century, their He family not only did not hurt their muscles, but instead made great gains.
He Yiming brought tens of thousands of taels of gold, and after the discounted things Lin Taoli gave, he was also not inferior. This time the number of gifts the royal family brought from Tianluo City made him overjoyed.
However, he also understood that the reason why these people presented gold and goods for no reason was purely for He Yiming's face. If it weren't for his grandson of the innate realm, then the He family would have gained a lot this time, not to mention that they would have lost money, even he himself would have to pay it.
Cheng Ningsheng also agreed and said with a smile: "Master He, this time the royal family has exempted Taicang County from ten years of taxes, and has pulled out a large amount of money and grain to repair the damaged city wall. I just checked the supplies, which can not only restore the city wall of the county town to its original appearance, but also build a tall city wall before Hejiazhuang."
He Yiming's heart was slightly moved. Of course, he understood that the cost of building a city wall was definitely a huge expense. If it weren't for this, Grandpa and the others wouldn't have invested a lot of money on it every year.
Cheng Ningsheng said this clearly because he received the approval of Yu Xiaoyi and the others, or it was simply their instruction.
He sighed in his heart that he is worthy of being a member of the royal family, and it is indeed a very big deal.
He Wude laughed and said, "Brother Cheng, Xujiabao has made the greatest contribution to resisting the invasion of horse thieves this time, and your Cheng family's mansion and Xujiabao's wreath are also seriously damaged. The money and grain will be handed over to the two of you as funds for the reconstruction of the Cheng family and the reconstruction of the Xujiabao."
He Yiming was slightly stunned and thought to himself when Grandpa became so kind?
Before he could react, he heard Yu Xiaoyi laugh and said, "Mr. He was joking. This time, the three major families in Taicang County fought against the horse thieves and captured all the thieves that plagued Taia County. What a merit? Yu Guo has made merit. How can we make the heroes bleeding and cry?" His face turned sincere and said, "The reconstruction of Xujiabao and Chengfu is all borne by our royal family. We will definitely give you the same justice."
Xu Yinjie and Cheng Ningsheng were both overjoyed. They immediately took a step forward and thanked them deeply.
With the foundation of these two families, although they can also rebuild their homes, this is also an astronomical figure. Once rebuilt, they will definitely be seriously damaged. If a big pie suddenly falls down today, they are of course overjoyed.
After thanking each other, their eyes looked at He Wude, and there was a little bit of gratitude. Of course, these three old men who had been fighting openly and secretly for decades could never be as close as their brothers. It can only be said that the relationship gradually eased.
Seeing that they had finished their conversation, Xue Lie bowed deeply again and said, "Master He, Master He, Shuishunjin, heard that another innate master appeared in Taicang County, and he couldn't help but feel happy. He hoped that Master He could go to Beijing and discuss important matters."
His voice was extremely sincere and had an undeniable sincerity.
Yu Xiaoyi also bowed deeply and said, "Please help Master He."
He Yiming pondered for a moment and said, "It is also my long-cherished wish to go to Beijing to pay homage to Master Shui. However, Mr. Xue, what exactly does Master Shui need to serve?"
Xue Lie and Yu Xiaoyi's faces changed slightly at the same time. They looked at each other, and finally Yu Xiaoyi gritted his teeth and said, "Master He, although our Tianluo Kingdom is not as good as the three powerful countries among the northwest countries, it is also the best among the second-rate countries. However, among the three counties, there is only Master Shui, a country-protecting master. So..."
He Yiming frowned slightly. Just when he was about to say that he was not interested in the wizard of the country, he saw his grandfather grinning at him. The words to his lips changed suddenly and said, "He needs to consider this matter. I will answer you in a few days."
When Yu Xiaoyi and Xue Lie couldn't help but show joy when they heard that he did not refuse on the spot.
As long as there is no rejection, it means there is still room for maneuver. Especially Yu Xiaoyi has made up his mind in his heart to make this happen no matter what. If he gets the promise of Master He to be the protector of the Tianluo Kingdom in his hands, then his throne will be as stable as Mount Tai in the future.
He Wude beat him up and said, "Your Highness, Mr. Xue, you are here for a long time. Please rest for a night. Even if you want to return to the capital, it will not be too late to go tomorrow."
He Yiming nodded and said, "No, you guys have a rest, I'll do my homework too."
After saying that, he nodded to several family members, turned around and left.
Although he did this as a very rude behavior, neither He's family nor the rest of the people had any anger.
If a innate master does not even have this little privilege, then how can he reflect their strength and dignity?
He Yiming returned to the room and asked Yuan Lixun to prepare a tea that his grandfather loved to drink from Yaoyuan Dashen.
These tea cakes were sent from the Yuan family. They were originally used as smuggled goods, but this time the Yuan family gave this batch of tea cakes to the old man as a gift.
The old man was overjoyed and divided 20% of the gifts to He Yiming. However, for He Yiming, there was almost no difference between good and bad tea in his mouth, so he saved this gift and kept it for several elders to use it for autumn wind.
Sure enough, not long after, the old man had already arrived in his room.
Sitting down opposite, picking up the teacup and taking a sip. The old man breathed comfortably, looking very leisurely.
"Grandpa, you just winked at me. What does it mean?" He Yiming said straight to the point: "Do you want me to be the master of the country protection, or not?"
"Of course I took office." He Wude said without hesitation: "Yiming, if my grandfather had not wandered to Taicang County and had settled in Taicang County and had established a foundation here, then I would not ask you to do this, because among the countries in the northwest, Tianluo Kingdom is not the most powerful country. Above it, there are three powerful countries in the northwest. Among them, Kairong Kingdom is the closest to us. You can become the country protection master of Kairong Kingdom, and the treatment you enjoy is the best. However, since our Hejiazhuang has been established in Taicang County and has grown up with this base, I hope that you can become the country protection master of Tianluo Kingdom."
He Yiming nodded slightly. He already understood what his grandfather meant. If he became the national protection master of Tianluo Kingdom, then the He family would undoubtedly be like a fish in water within Tianluo Kingdom and no one would dare to offend him again.
After thinking about it, He Yiming said sincerely: "Grandpa, I understand what you mean, but my wish is to be in the world. I want to pursue supreme martial arts, and I don't want to be constrained by a country."
He Wude laughed and said, "Yiming, do you think you will be stopped after becoming a master of the country protection? Hehe, in fact, the master of the country protection is just a name. Unless you suffer major dangers in the country or challenge the master of the country protection in other countries, you don't need to take action at all."
He Yiming raised his eyebrows lightly and said, "But after becoming a master of protecting the country, don't you want to live in the capital? Then how do I see the world outside?"
He Wude's smile suddenly froze. After a moment, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "This is a big problem."
In fact, for ordinary innate strong men, when they enter the innate realm, they are mostly over 60 years old, or even older. These people have rich experience and experience, and are not too interested in traveling around the world, so they accept the offerings from a certain country and become the country's protector.
And those who are young like He Yiming are unique, so when they are innate, they are naturally disturbed by this problem.
He Yiming suddenly smiled and said, "Grandpa, you don't have to worry."
He Wude's eyes lit up slightly and said, "Do you have any good solutions?"
He Yiming shook his head and said, "It's not that I have a good idea, but that they have a good idea."
He Wude was puzzled and looked at his beloved grandson for no reason.
He Yiming stretched out his hand and pointed to the direction of the Tianluo Capital and said, "When I get there, I will tell you about my volunteers and Master Shui. If he can solve the problem, I will agree to be the Tianluo Capital Master. If he can do nothing, then I will slap my butt and leave."
Seeing He Wude's expression of laughter and crying, He Yiming hurriedly said, "Don't worry, as long as I'm alive for one day, I think there will definitely not be many people in the He family willing to provoke them. Whether I am the national protection master of Tianluo or not, this will not change at all."
He Wude pondered for a long time and finally nodded slowly, but there was still a hint of regret in his heart. If He Yiming could serve as the master of the country protection, Hejiazhuang would definitely get many corresponding benefits. However, when he thought of his grandson's wish, his little thoughts immediately faded.
As long as he can make this grandson happy and continue to achieve higher achievements in martial arts, the status of Hejiazhuang will become higher and higher, which is absolutely unquestionable.
On the second day, there was a bustling atmosphere in front of He's house.
A huge team of horses left Hejiazhuang in a mighty manner and headed towards the Tianluo Capital.
In this team, in addition to the two tourists from the capital, Lin Taoli actually followed the car.
In the He family, besides He Yiming and Yuan Lixun, only He Quanxin and He Yi and his son were with him. According to Mr. He, he would definitely go out to travel around the world in the future. Then, the Quanxin and his son who were destined to take over Hejiazhuang must follow him to see the world.
He looked at the convoy slowly stepped onto the avenue and left his sight.
He Wude sighed, not knowing what it felt like in his heart.
However, from then on, Hejiazhuang walked out of this small place in Taicang County and officially entered the sight of the northwest countries.
Chapter completed!
