Outside the gate of Tucheng is an open space, and a huge team is coming from a long distance away.
There are more than fifty people in the team, all riding expensive horses and beasts. Most of them are dressed as guards. They should be members of the big families in the big city. A man and a woman are riding in the front. The man has a face like a crown jewel, and the woman is covered by a veil. noodle.
"This is the tribal city. It doesn't look as big as the house of our family branch."
Chen Yuanzhou looked at him from a distance. He was dressed as a scholar, with a long sword hanging on his waist like an accessory. "But this wall is higher than the house. It must be three feet. It can barely protect against low-level monsters."
"We're almost there... I remind you, be careful what you say after entering the city. Don't say you have or don't have these things." Chen Yuanshu was wearing a black dress and a red belt around her slender waist. She looked quite heroic.
"What? Sister, are you still afraid of encountering danger in the tribal city? Do they dare?" Chen Yuanzhou said this very arrogantly.
"Tribal territories have autonomy, and there are many taboos. Maybe you say something wrong and break other people's rules." Chen Yuanshu said in a cold tone, "We don't have to be afraid of the tribal people. If there is a fight, we will bring dozens of people Innately, you can destroy the Jiang clan, but you can't do that. It's basic to go to other people's territory and abide by their rules. "
"Yes, yes, what you said makes sense." Chen Yuanzhou nodded repeatedly. As his sister, he liked to preach to him.
"and..."
Chen Yuanshu glanced at his younger brother and continued, "It is said that Mr. Lei Hong, the supervisor, has been living here for more than half a year. We came here rashly. If there is a conflict with the tribesmen, Mr. Lei Hong will not take it lightly." Sparing us might even implicate the family."
"Sister, don't worry, I understand and I won't cause trouble." Chen Yuanzhou said quickly.
Ordinary supervisors may be afraid of the Chen family, but Lei Hong is not.
As the right-hand man of Feixue City Lord, Lei Hong's status in front of the God and Demon City Lord is no lower than that of the Chen Family Patriarch. According to the dynasty's appointment rules for supervisors, supervisors cannot serve within the family and must be transferred far away. The same is true for Lei Hong. He is not from Feixue City or even from Beihongzhou. According to legend, Lei Hong's apprenticeship is very distinguished, and his master is also a god and demon.
The supervisory envoys usually serve in one place for ten years, and then they will be transferred.
Therefore, considering Lei Hong's personal ability and background, no one in Feixue City can make him take sides or make concessions. Lei Hong is not only known for his selflessness, but also sometimes has a very bad temper.
It's usually when someone offends him to his face.
"Sister, I have to remind you." Chen Yuanzhou said boldly again, "Since childhood, you have caused more trouble than me, several times more! I have a good temper, but yours is ...You are the one who should be more careful and restrained."
After Chen Yuanzhou finished speaking, he quickly pulled the reins and tilted the horse's head to the right. Chen Yuanzhou and Chen Yuanshu were separated by a foot. He was afraid that his sister would turn around and punch him, which would cause him to vomit blood.
Surprisingly, Chen Yuanshu didn't have any big reaction this time.
"Yes." Chen Yuanshu responded with a faint nasal voice.
Chen Yuanzhou pulled the reins again, leaned over, and observed Chen Yuanshu's expression. Just by looking at his eyes, he could tell that Chen Yuanshu was preoccupied and not in high spirits.
"Sister, didn't you agree to come with me to relax? Are you busy?" Chen Yuanzhou asked tentatively.
"It's okay." Chen Yuanshu replied coldly.
"Every time I came out before, you didn't follow me and scolded me for not cultivating well. This time you offered to accompany me... It's not as simple as relaxing, right?" Chen Yuanzhou continued to ask.
"Why do you talk so much?" Chen Yuanshu glanced at him.
"You don't want anyone to talk anymore?"
Chen Yuanzhou continued, "If I don't talk to you, who else can I talk to? My friends... As soon as they heard that you wanted to come with me, they all stopped coming. They are a bunch of cowards, and we are the only ones left..."
"Do you blame me?" Chen Yuanshu narrowed her eyes slightly.
"I don't blame you, how can I! Sister, you think too much!" Chen Yuanzhou spoke faster, "I mean... I care about you, we are siblings! My mother left early, but my father was always there I am practicing in seclusion, or I am busy with various family affairs. I was almost brought up by you. You used to take care of me, but now I care about you. Isn't this right? "
"Don't be so glib. You were raised by a servant." Chen Yuanshu looked forward.
"Then... how can a servant's care be the same as a sister's care? I'm going too far... Sister, are you worried? What are you thinking about?" Chen Yuanzhou brought the topic back and asked.
"Shut up." Chen Yuanshu said coldly.
"Hey, look at you! What can't you say to your brother? The bigger the family, the less impersonal it is. We are 'dependent on each other'. If you have something on your mind, if you don't tell me, who else can you tell it to?" Chen Yuanzhou said this After hearing this, the eyelids of the guard who followed on horseback jumped wildly.
Dependent on each other? !
You two are the first geniuses in your family! He might even be a genius on the first day of Feixue City!
The other was the former number one genius in Feixue City. Because he had been injured and damaged his foundation, his talent had been reduced a lot, but even so, he was still the second genius in the family!
The family is almost keeping you two in their mouths. The resources and money spent by the two of them in practicing for a year are more than the annual income of a medium-sized family. Is this called dependent on each other? !
"Sister! Just say it!"
"Sister! There are no outsiders here."
"Sister! I..."
"You are so annoying." Chen Yuanshu said, then glanced at her brother, and then said: "You just said that I took care of you and we depended on each other, so wouldn't I be your mother?"
"Elder sister is like a mother, sister, just say so!" Chen Yuanzhou said immediately.
"Well, I am your mother." Chen Yuanshu looked forward, "Now, the family is going to find you a father."
"puff..."
"Ha...ahem!"
All the guards at the rear were suppressing their laughter. Two of them couldn't suppress their laughter at the first moment and pretended to cough. Some of them turned red and turned their heads to one side and rubbed their faces.
Chen Yuanzhou likes to pretend to be a scholar, but in fact he doesn't read much.
Chen Yuanshu, on the other hand, is very knowledgeable and has a great ability to talk people into corners. She always makes surprising remarks.
Chen Yuanzhou's face froze for a moment, then he pretended to be nonchalant and muttered to himself: "So the rumors are true..."
"Huh?" Chen Yuanshu turned her head sharply to look at her brother, scrutinized it, and asked, "What rumors?"
"The family wants to find a son-in-law for you... You are already twenty-six this year. It is impossible for you to marry outside. With your talent, no one is worthy of marrying you, so you have to marry a husband and find a son-in-law. Listen. They are already looking for candidates. It is said that they should be between the ages of 25 and 40, with at least good talent, and go to the Star Pavilion candidate list. They don't have to be from Feixue City, but they can be from the county. There seems to be no requirement for appearance. , but it cannot be of tribal origin..." Chen Yuanzhou seemed to understand everything and said with his fingers.
"Did you attend that meeting?" Chen Yuanshu suddenly said coldly.
Chen Yuanzhou shrank his neck in fright, feeling that the elder sister was really angry at these words, but he could only bite the bullet and said: "Yes..."
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"No, I don't dare..."
Chen Yuanzhou not only participated in the meeting to discuss Chen Yuanshu's recruitment of a son-in-law. When the family knew that Chen Yuanshu was going to travel with Chen Yuanzhou, the family also gave Chen Yuanzhou a task - to persuade Chen Yuanshu to do some ideological work.
Chen Yuanzhou didn't want to do it, but he couldn't resist the order of the family council of elders.
But Chen Yuanzhou knew what kind of character his sister was. The more he pushed her, the more she resisted, and she refused to accept the hard one...
After a few moments of silence, Chen Yuanzhou spoke again when Chen Yuanshu turned her head.
"Sister, you really don't want to get married?" Chen Yuanzhou lowered his voice subconsciously.
Chen Yuanshu didn't want to talk to him.
"There is nothing wrong with getting married. Look at me, I got engaged at the age of fifteen and got married at the age of nineteen. Although I have never had children, I plan to have more children with Xiao Hui when I enter the realm of calamity..." Chen Yuanzhou murmured, and when he mentioned his wife, a smile appeared on his face.
"You and she are childhood sweethearts. Although her talent is not as good as yours, she is still enough to be on the candidate list of the Star Hall. Although the Qian family is not one of the four major families, it is second only to the four major families. Now they even have the opportunity to join Let's fight in the Wei family. You are twenty-three this year and she is twenty-two. You two are one year apart. When you were young, from the first day I saw her playing with you, she followed you, Yuan Zhou. Brother Yuanzhou calls me brother, you two are getting married, you are satisfied, she is satisfied, both families are satisfied, and even the storyteller in the teahouse on North Street of Feixue City is satisfied, saying that you two are a match made in heaven! "
Chen Yuanshu turned her head and spoke very quickly, "Of course you think there is nothing wrong with getting married! It's not like you are asked to sleep with a stranger and have children!"
Chen Yuanzhou was so frightened that he walked a few feet further. The reins were pulled so hard that the horse and beast were frightened.
After Chen Yuanshu finished the output and turned his head back, Chen Yuanzhou dared to get closer.
"Sister, you didn't have a childhood sweetheart..." Chen Yuanzhou regretted it after asking, and said quickly: "Sister, don't be angry, just pretend I didn't ask!"
He regretted it, not that Chen Yuanshu had a childhood sweetheart who was broken up or died or something like that. It was not so bitter, it was just...nothing!
When Chen Yuanshu was six years old, she was hailed as having the appearance of a god and a devil, and she has been on top ever since! Her talent is already unparalleled among her contemporaries. She is so far ahead that even her peers are humbled in front of her! So she doesn't have any childhood sweethearts!
The year she entered Xiantian, Chen Yuanshu was only twelve years old.
It was in that year that twelve-year-old Chen Yuanshu and nine-year-old Chen Yuanzhou were assassinated. Chen Yuanshu was injured in order to protect Chen Yuanzhou, damaging an extremely important meridian, and his talent plummeted.
But even after her talent plummeted, she was still the second genius of the Chen family and a disciple of the Star Pavilion.
This is also the reason why the Chen family will never let her marry outside. Chen Yuanshu represents a hope, a hope for the Chen family to be promoted to a family of gods and demons! As long as this family can give birth to gods and demons... Although Chen Yuanshu's damaged meridians are extremely difficult to repair, the family even asked the Lord of Feixue City to take a look, but there was nothing he could do.
But what if?
What if Chen Yuanshu transcends the innate and recovers himself?
The extremely high talent that still exists, as well as the illusory expectations of gods and demons, make the Chen family tightly hold Chen Yuanshu in their hands and indulge them extremely! Even if Chen Yuanshu went out and killed a core member of another big family, the Chen family would be able to deal with it!
But she can't just let her decide everything.
For example, major events involving the inheritance of family talents.
Her talent is too high, so she should have a biological child to pass on her talent.
"Sister, if you weren't injured because of me, with your talent, you should have surpassed Xiantian a few years ago, and may even be the youngest person in the history of Feixue City, then the family would definitely not dare to force you to recruit a son-in-law. ..." Chen Yuanzhou blamed himself, "If I hadn't suggested getting rid of the guards that day, we wouldn't have..."
"Stop talking nonsense."
Chen Yuanshu turned her head and glared at Chen Yuanzhou, then looked forward and signaled, "We're here!"
The team stopped in front of the gate of the tribe's earth city. The formation was too big, and dozens of people were all innate auras... As early as they approached, the guards at the gate had already gone to report the news. When they arrived, Jiang Cuiyun also arrived at the gate.
"In the Jiang clan's territory, idlers are not allowed to enter. Who is coming?" Jiang Cuiyun frowned and looked at it.
Don't panic, there are black armored guards in the city, and the supervisor Lei Hong is also there, so there is really no one to be afraid of.
"Chen Yuanzhou of the Chen family in Feixue City has come to pay a courtesy visit to the clan leader Jiang Xuan." Chen Yuanzhou cupped his fists and handed over his hands with a smile on his face.
Chen Yuanshu was nominally accompanying Chen Yuanzhou to relax.
Chen Yuanzhou came here this time to challenge Jiang Xuan's ninth form of "Wind Chasing Knife"!
