As a result, Li Xingtuo left without waiting for the dinner.
Xie Yuan took the Sword Sect leader to the famous Dongshan Mountain of Chenjun and admired the scenery. Then he returned directly and refused Xie Yuan's offer to stay without any tact.
"I'll wait one more day for you to help me deal with the backlog of clan files? After three days of walking, it's still a break from the busy schedule. But after five days of walking, I feel a little heavy."
Li Xingtuo also sighed deeply and frowned, as if he had imagined the pile of files in the study, and then Qin Zhenyang was reporting things to him with a small notebook.
Xie Yuan was still hesitating whether to invite his aunt and the old friend of the sect master to meet him, but Li Xingtuo still shook his head and said that he was young and frivolous at that time. He saw a beautiful girl and talked a few words, but he still had a master. , and then there was a conflict with Xie Yi.
In fact, Li Xingtuo, Xie Yi, and Cui Pingjun had a friendly relationship. They were surprised by each other's talents, and they never got back together.
Watching Li Xingtuo turn into a rainbow light on the horizon and disappear almost in the blink of an eye, Xie Yuan bowed respectfully toward the northwest on the top of Dongshan Mountain.
When the situation stabilizes, it's time to return to Yunshan.
When the dinner came, the elders found out that the rightful owner had left, and they couldn't help but look at each other in shock.
He came and went in such a hurry, as if he only came to solve the Xie family's dilemma, and didn't even eat a meal.
Chivalry is no longer enough to describe it, this has to be the snail girl.
Especially when Xie Yuan told the elders that he was planning to let the Yunshan Sword Sect open a branch in Chen County, the expressions of the elders changed a bit.
After all, in this kind of core territory, if they are not particularly friendly, they can be regarded as hardcore allies, and other forces will not be allowed to get involved.
Xie Yuan's suggestion was of great importance, and the elders had some thoughts in mind. However, he had just invited Li Xingtuo to solve Xie's dilemma, and no one said anything more.
The reason why the elders didn't say much was because Xie Yuan said in the next sentence that Li Xingtuo actually refused.
Li Xingtuo still had two reasons for refusing, which were the same as not going to the arsenal to meditate on scriptures.
First, he didn't come here for reward, and second, he was afraid of the impact on Xie Yuan.
But he didn't want any reward, so Xie Yuan couldn't just say nothing.
So Xie Yuan proposed to establish exchanges between the Yunshan Sword Sect and the disciples of the Xie family in Chen County.
Xie Yuan sent a group of young people to Yunshan to learn swordsmanship, and the outstanding disciples from Yunshan could also come to Chen County to study, and even go to the arsenal to climb the stairs to challenge and read the classics.
result.
Li Xingtuo still refused.
"I welcome you to send outstanding disciples. As long as they are dedicated to learning swordsmanship, have a pure heart and a firm will, the Sword Sect will never refuse anyone - haha, I don't think you will send anyone with poor qualifications, but the qualifications are If you have the determination to make up for the difference, you can still practice it.
"But are the disciples of the Sword Sect coming to Chen County... It would be great if you have the opportunity to travel. The scenery here is good."
He was noncommittal, but his meaning was clear, and there was no need for disciples to communicate.
It wasn't until Li Xingtuo left for a long time that Xie Yuan was impressed by his character and understood his wisdom.
The leader of the Sword Sect not only used his sword to defend his sect against injustice, but he also could not let the sect get involved in the turmoil.
So Xie Yuan didn't hesitate and just thought about reporting it someday.
After hearing this, the elders were even more happy and sighed.
Unexpectedly, a big problem that troubled Mr. Xie could be solved so easily - not because the process was easy, but because the cost was so easy.
I thought it would take at least an extremely rare magical medicine, or a treaty deal between the two major forces, to compensate for the request for help from thousands of miles away.
As a result, others don’t want anything.
According to Xie Zhi's point of view, it's just a case of being taken advantage of.
But are there people in the world who don’t care at all? What's more, the Yunshan Sword Sect is the leader of such a large sect that has become increasingly prosperous in recent years?
After much deliberation, they were afraid that the reason could only fall on Xie Yuan.
At the banquet where the guest of honor was missing, the elders glanced at Xie Yuan secretly and secretly speculated on the relationship and origin between him and Li Xingtuo.
Although everyone knew more or less that Xie Yuan was seeking enlightenment in Yunshan, they never knew about the relationship between Xie Yuan and Li Xingtuo.
Could it be that they are really a master-student couple in secret? But there is nothing to hide.
If it weren't for master and apprentice, this friendship would be too much and too heavy.
It would be fine if they value Xie's background, but Li Xingtuo doesn't take any money from him, so... he can only value Xie Yuan himself?
In Li Xingtuo's eyes, the Xie family, even the Wang family and the royal family, might not be as good as Xie Yuan?
The elders were filled with doubts deep down in their hearts.
If we only measure it by profit, it is impossible to figure it out.
But at least this time, the problem has been successfully solved, and I am afraid that for a long time, at least in Tianyun Garden, the Wang family will not come back to make plans.
Xie Chen and Xie Lin have returned, and everyone knows how powerful Li Xingtuo is.
Defeated three top masters with one sword.
This is the strength of the Sword Sect leader.
Although Li Xingtuo is now ranked very high on the Feilong Ranking and is very famous, he has never really fought with this level of strength, and the masters don't know what the level is.
However, as soon as Li Xingtuo took action, everyone realized that his ranking was probably still low.
This is a top master who is better than the average top master, probably at the level of Xie Fu and Xie Yi.
With the help of such a master who is close to the Grand Master level, the Xie family will naturally be saved from trouble, and the opponent will also have many concerns when they try again.
At least in the short term, Chen Jun's situation will be better.
The siege of Tianyun Garden was lifted. Although the distinguished guests left by themselves, the dinner was still very lively.
Whether it was ordinary clan members from all over the clan or the grandmasters and elders in the banquet hall, they all showed joy.
Grand masters toasted to Xie Yuan one after another, and even Xie Zhi had a drink with him. On this occasion, everyone's attitude was tacit.
But even after the banquet, the Xie family's crisis is resolved and everyone is full, and it seems that they can fight among themselves again——
Maybe no one will attack Xie Yuan again for a while.
In the Xishui Hall, Xie Yuan had taken the opportunity to unite 90% of the elders. At least at that time, there was only one voice from Xie Yuan.
Although it was not used in the end, Xie Yuan proved that he did not have to obey these elders in order to do things.
These Xie family's grand masters and elders, especially those who thought they could easily control Xie Yuan, did not say anything but felt a little strange.
Xie Yuan did not grow up in the family, his foundation is shallow and his influence is not high;
But also because of this, he seems to have quite a lot of connections outside.
The elders did not forget that when they were in the capital, Xie Yi needed the best in heaven and earth to die. Everyone was at a loss, but it was Xie Yuan who found a way to get back the thousand-year-old ginseng essence himself, and also asked for the elixir from the new emperor. The speed of life and death in taking medicine from the tribe's land.
In addition, Li Xingtuo showed shocking swordsmanship and strength. The enemies who trapped the discordant Xie family, and indeed the Wang family hiding in the dark, were all no match for Li Xingtuo's sword.
But such a tyrannical master came because of Xie Yuan alone.
For all the reasons mentioned above, the grand masters and elders suddenly discovered that Xie Yuan seemed to be very secure in that position.
No matter it's his strength, power, or abilities.
The crisis in Tianyunpu is like a big test, testing both the Xie family and Xie Yuan.
Xie Yuan submitted an unexpected but extremely powerful answer.
Therefore, the big exam established Xie Yuan's status as the real head of the family, and the Xie family must be able to spend a peaceful time.
As for how long it can last, it all depends on how quickly Xie Yuan's strength improves, and how well he handles the pressure from the outside and the tests that come one after another.
However, when everyone thought about the progress of Xie Yuan's skills and the combat power and talent he had shown now, they all felt that now that he had firmly established himself as the head of the family, there would probably be no chance for him to step down.
In this way, some people gradually stopped thinking.
……
Summer passes and autumn comes, and then the chill gets deeper
It’s the end of another year.
The days of practice always pass quickly.
After the Tianyunpu Incident, there were almost no troublemakers in the Xie clan, and there were more people who treated Xie Yuan politely and called him the head of the family.
All of a sudden, the government was coordinated and people-friendly, and people worked hard and acted accordingly. No matter what suggestions they had, no one spoke against them.
Xie Yuan was very uncomfortable.
There is no one to fight against, and the job of the owner is not too challenging.
When Xie Yuan saw this, he waved his hand and handed over the external affairs to Xie Jun and the internal affairs to Cui Pingjun, so that he could practice in peace.
Everyone was relieved to see that he was so willing to delegate power, and that he did not engage in any sort of settling accounts after the fall, taking back family affairs, or holding power. No one said that he was lazy in politics anymore.
Although there is still pressure from the outside world, the Wang family will not easily let go of the opportunity to weaken and encroach on the Xie family.
However, after greatly eliminating internal problems, Chenjun Xie was still able to take a defensive stance.
In less than half a year, Xie Yuan practiced wholeheartedly and rapidly improved his strength.
【Chopping firewood: (71556/100000)】
[Immortal Golden Bell·Third Floor: (2983/3000)]

【……】
Xie Yuan's progress is huge.
With Tianyunpu in his hands, the Xie family's resources were once again abundant. Many tribesmen even took the bait in revenge, and many people showed symptoms of bloody riots.
As the clan leader, Xie Yuan has endless natural resources, and they are even more endless than before.
With sufficient resources supplied, Xie Yuan focused 90% of his attention on training. The top external training method of the Immortal Golden Bell has finally reached the level of the peak of the Three Transformations Realm. He will soon have nothing to practice and can only wait. breakthrough.
In fact, the progress of the last ten or so points has been extremely slow, and the quality of blood energy has to be improved to make some slight progress.
If you are an ordinary cultivator, this stage is considered complete and you can start making preparations to break through to become a master.
That tiny gap is neither noticeable nor accessible to everyone.
But Xie Yuan had the support of the panel and could clearly see the progress and difficulties near the limit.
Since it is such an important node, he naturally strives for perfection, so even if the rare progress is like a turtle crawling, he practices over and over again.
Xie Yuan is now at the peak of the Three Transformations Realm. In terms of realm, he has finally caught up with the powerful enemies he has encountered and fought.
As for strength, with the blessing of skills and internal skills that cannot be measured by common sense, it has already surpassed the level of its own skills.
"It is not easy to practice the Immortal Golden Bell to perfection."
Xie Yuan looked at the final progress and sighed.
Without special skills and unparalleled aptitudes, it would be impossible to master this most powerful fundamental method to its peak.
But Xie Yuan also has other top skills to help.
The Burning Heaven-Destroying Dao Spear has the effect of tempering blood energy. Practice the spear technique over and over again, allowing the energy to flow through the body, like a blood-burning flame, forging out real gold, constantly improving the quality of energy and blood, and very effectively helping the Immortal Golden Bell. The cover is beneficial.
The same goes for the Dajinhe Kung Fu. The strong and high-quality inner energy washes over the whole body, nourishing the body, and also pushing Xie Yuan's immortal golden bell forward slowly but firmly.
With the help of such conditions, if he still can't practice it to perfection, then Xie Yuan no longer has the luxury of climbing to the top.
The realm of the Double Bridge of Heaven and Earth is a special realm. Every accumulation and every breakthrough before this can make the future journey more stable.
Xie Yuan was not in a hurry to break through the Grandmaster, but he still had to practice the Heaven-Burning Dao-Destroying Spear, so he prepared patiently.
During this period, his marksmanship also improved a lot.
Both the second and third movements have successfully advanced to the level of proficiency, which is already a level that can play a considerable role in actual combat.
The sharpness and killing power of the tens of thousands of enemies, and the transformation and courage of the Nine Nether Demons, all make up for the slight weakness of the first form of Human Peace.
Xie Yuan now only needs the Burning Sky Dao-Destroying Spear to deal with 99% of the situations.
The last little bit needed him to make up for it with an axe.
In such a short period of time, Xie Fu was naturally shocked again by the breakthrough of both marksmanships so quickly.
But Xie Fu was already used to it. He just felt that Xie Yuan could always give him some new surprises, but he felt a little numb in his heart.
He just felt that no matter what Xie Yuan practiced, he could surpass his expectations, and he always felt that he had no experience after so many years, and it almost became a stereotype.
However, this kind of progress is not entirely due to Xie Yuan's own work. The shadow of thousands of soldiers and candles that are always on his body plays a huge role.
The frequent flashes of insight and regular explosive progress are the keys to Xie Yuan's mastery of the Sky-Burning Dao-Destroying Spear.
With this magical thing in hand, Xie Yuan can use almost any weapon, and he can master high-level skills as soon as he practices them, and this top-level skill can also make steady and rapid progress.
Similarly, Wan Bing Zhuying's several realizations have allowed Xie Yuan's firewood to break through the 70,000 mark, one step closer to the 100,000 threshold.
Thirty thousand doesn’t seem that far away.
Once upon a time, Xie Yuan estimated that it would take ten years before he could make any progress in chopping firewood again.
And with the help of these Black Sky Books, this process has been greatly shortened.
It seems that in as long as a year and a half or as little as a year, Xie Yuan can gain something in his true fundamental method.
"Grandmaster..."
Xie Yuan murmured.
A word that was once so far away is now so close to him, but Xie Yuan doesn't feel much about it.
It's not that he's not happy, it's that after practicing for so long, he feels that everything comes naturally.
After all, he has killed and defeated real masters. When he was weak, he felt like a big shot standing in the sky. Now Xie Yuan can look at him calmly.
However, Xie Yuan is still not sure how to break through.
The Dajinhe Kung Fu gave him a combat power beyond his realm in advance, but now it also brought him some trouble.
He had two thoughts before.
The first is to continuously refine the blood energy and strive for excellence until the limit of the limit, and then look for treasures like Snow Dragon Pill that can improve the quality of the blood energy, and imitate the breakthrough of the Great Golden River Technique, so that the blood energy can also directly break through. Then when the realm is reached, one will naturally comprehend the world.
This is a way to defeat ten realms with one force, and it is theoretically feasible. Since inner breath can break through realms, and blood energy is the foundation of a warrior, why can't it?
However, this method requires a lot of effort and opportunity. At least Xie Yuan doesn't have a clue about the elixir yet. And without seeing the final state of cultivation of the Indestructible Golden Bell, it would be extremely difficult to achieve this level without breaking through the realization of heaven and earth.
The second way is to use health-preserving skills.
Health-preserving exercises can harmonize the inner breath, transforming the past and back.
Then as long as the excess Dajinhe Gong is transferred back and the realm drops to the tenth level, won't it play the role of precise dispersal of kung fu without actually losing the kung fu?
But the idea was good. Later, Xie Yuan tried it himself and found that there were many difficulties in implementing it.
The first is that the Dajin River Kung Fu has advanced to the level of a master. The inner strength has become the natural meaning of heaven and earth, such as the mighty river and the deep still water. The essence has changed. Even if the eleventh level of skill is transferred, only the tenth level will be left. It’s not the complete realm of three transformations.
Secondly, it is such a strong master's inner breath that only five levels of health-preserving skills need to be transformed, just like the Foolish Old Man moving a mountain.
Moreover, the inner energy to be transformed must have the inherited skills. Although Xie Yuan knows the internal skills of the Yunshan lineage such as Sword Qi Jue and Sword Intention Sutra, and the Xiaojinhe Kung Fu can be considered, but he has a hammer here and there, neither Efficiency and confusing internal energy are not good for breakthroughs.
If we really want the safest way, I'm afraid it's still possible to use body-building skills to spread the energy. This is feasible.
However, there is quite a bit of philosophy in surrendering to the realm of risking one's life to survive, but Xie Yuan did not feel that reaching that point was not a dead end.
"Both methods have their own problems. If you want to make a breakthrough, you have to find another way."
Xie Yuan instantly thought of what Li Xingtuo said to him.
Perhaps, in the end, Yun Shan will have to go to the sect leader for help?
Sitting in the pavilion in the garden, Xie Yuan looked at the wind and snow in the courtyard, thought for a long time, and nodded slightly.
"Why are you nodding your head? You don't even say anything, it's boring!"
There is a teapot on the stove. Opposite the teapot sits a stunning young girl who is looking forward to the glory. She is looking after the fire. It is Xie Lingyun.
Seeing his movements, Xie Lingyun curled her lips and looked at Xie Yuan with her smart eyes:
"Looking more and more like an old man!"
"Don't talk nonsense. I haven't been taking care of family affairs recently. Let your mother worry about it."
Xie Yuan chuckled.
Xie Lingyun fiddled with the teapot. Seeing that it was almost done, she picked it up and poured herself a cup first. She glanced at Xie Yuan, then hummed softly and poured it for him too.
The green tea soup was poured into the jade cup, and smoke erupted on the cup, condensing and not dissipating, like morning mist.
The name of the tea is Lingwu, and it is also a top-notch spiritual product that is hard to find.
The aroma overflowed, Xie Yuan took a sip and asked:
"You have broken through the three realms of transformation. What are your thoughts?"
"Bah."
Xie Lingyun spit him directly, frowned and said:
"What an old man!"
"Aren't you concerned about your practice?"
Xie Yuan couldn't laugh or cry.
Xie Lingyun was still lively and cheerful, but only in front of Xie Yuan.
After her father was seriously injured, Xie Yuan's rapid breakthrough, and the chaos inside and outside the clan, Miss Qianjin also grew up a lot.
Normally, Xie Lingyun became a bit calmer and more reserved, and even her face seemed to have matured. The tribesmen all thanked Lingyun for becoming a big girl.
Only in front of Xie Yuan, he was still chattering like before.
The more mature Xie Lingyun has also become much harder in practice than before. She has just broken through the three transformation realms a few days ago. For her age, she is extremely extraordinary and can be said to be better than her predecessors.
But...
Xie Lingyun looked at Xie Yuan and said suspiciously:
"Are you a grandmaster now?"
"It's early." Xie Yuan said casually.
Xie Lingyun was dubious:
"Then I've obviously made a breakthrough, so why do I feel like the gap between me and you is even bigger?"
"Sometimes, the more you know, the less you know."
Xie Yuan said leisurely.
"Bah."
Xie Lingyun spat again, a little angry at Xie Yuan's rhetoric.
Holding the tea cup with wisps of white steam in her hands, she looked sideways at the wind and snow outside the pavilion, and she was lost in thought for a moment.
You have to practice harder, otherwise it would be uncomfortable if you lose the chance to cook tea and enjoy the snow with him.
Although most of the Xie family's internal worries have been resolved, there are actually not many external worries.
But when Wang saw that the Xie family had reversed the situation at a critical moment, they even unified their thinking and knew not to push too hard.
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
No matter how weak it is, the Xie family of Chen County is a family with a history of thousands of years. There are top masters in the family, as well as divine weapons, ten or twenty master masters, and thousands of martial arts people.
If we really want to be too naked and force everyone to unite and risk their lives to survive, then the Wang family may be in danger.
The Cui family is still watching, and the royal family is not as peaceful as it seems.
Now that the civil strife in the Xie family has subsided, the Wang family has changed their strategy. Instead of being greedy for meat, they will slowly suppress it and eat away at it step by step.
If you want to truly annex a thousand-year-old family, it will take decades of planning and many chances and coincidences.
The Wang family is very patient. They have treated other families in this way many times in history, and they have also been surrounded by strong enemies like this when they were weak.
Maybe you won't succeed in the end, but you still have to do it. Who can know what happened next? At least the newly acquired resources are real.
Under such a slow offensive, Xie's family also implemented the previous strategy of gradually shrinking and defended steadily. With the elders all unanimously facing the outside world, it entered a slow balance.
"Master, here are the accounts of the pharmacy for this month."
In Xie Yuan's study, the slightly fat Xie Wen presented an account book.
Xie Yuan glanced at him, flipped through the account books carefully, and then said:
"Elder Wen, I will give the account book to..."
"I have already given it to the mistress."
Xie Wen said directly.
Since Xie Yuan was not married yet, everyone still called Cui Ping the Queen Mother as usual.
In the past few months, Xie Wen has been very proactive in handing over the pharmacy's account books.
Xie Yuan was a little surprised at first, but later he understood Xie Wen's attitude and understood it tacitly.
As Cui Pingjun said, this is a smart man and the city is deep.
The smartest thing is that he seems to know Xie Yuan quite well, understands his magnanimity and vision, and knows that he will not settle scores with his wife.
Unlike Xie Zhi, who had already made plans to call it quits, but refused to express his stance, fearing that if he surrendered he would be slapped by Xie Yuan and lose his Xinglong Hall.
Xie Wen read a copy of Xie Zhi as usual:
"Are you still unwilling to hand over Xinglongtang's account books? Isn't this guy Xie Zhi secretly stealing the family's supplies?"
"Elder Zhi has already said that he will submit a full-year ledger next month."
Xie Yuan said calmly.
Xie Wen hesitated and whispered:
"Maybe we are settling the accounts."
"I will carefully review every account book submitted."
Xie Yuanyi said pointedly.
Xie Wen coughed lightly:
“The pharmacy has always been run and allocated resources according to the wishes of the family owner and the elders.
"By the way, head of the family, Xie Shi also managed the caravan. The position of deputy manager of Xinglong Hall has been vacant for a long time. After the New Year, I would like to recommend him. Although he is my brother, we should not avoid relatives when promoting talents."
Xie Wen had mentioned this for a long time, but Xie Yuan never agreed.
He still said:
"This is Xinglongtang's internal affairs. If Xinglongtang is doing things normally, I will not interfere. It is the same with any department. Moreover, Elder Shi is lacking in strength after all. As the deputy steward elder, he may not be able to convince the public."< br>
Xie Wen's eyes were a little disappointed, and he secretly thought that this Xie Yuan, oil and salt can't get in!
After the Tianyunpu incident, it was clear that his attitude was already very good, but he was neither salty nor cold, neither distant nor close, and he was absolutely fair and very careful. No matter how many strategies he tried, he still failed to win Xie Yuan's " patronize".
He could feel that Xie Yuan didn't hate him because of what happened before, but he treated the elders equally and looked at them all.
Even if he thought he was very good at flattering and other things, but found out in the end that it had no effect, Xie Yuan would not bias his judgment or ignore details because of his emotions.
Not at all like a young man.
Xie Wen sighed in his heart, but he also felt that this was good, at least he didn't mess around.
Not like that Xie Zhi.
"However, if Xinglong Hall still suffers losses next year and is unwilling to hand in the account books on time, the steward elder may not be able to do it, but the supervising elder may be able to ask the elder to take over. Of course, the elders will also be invited to discuss it at that time."
< br>
Xie Yuan added.
When Xie heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled:
"The master of the family is wise!"
After Xie Wen left, Xie Yuan pinched his forehead.
Balancing the forces within the clan is also difficult.
But it's not a big mess, it's not too difficult, it just takes a lot of effort.
Xinglongtang's continuous losses have a lot to do with Xie Zhi's ability.
If it's still like this next year and he has a lot of thoughts, Xie Yuan is going to take advantage of the situation to operate on him.
After all, Xinglongtang is an extremely important department, related to the family's income and expenditure.
At that time, Xie Yuan had stronger control over the clan, and he should find a time to let people know that he was not just a peacemaker, so as not to cause ups and downs in the end.
It's the twelfth lunar month.
Things within the clan have remained without major disturbances, and Xie Yuan can now take care of any minor problems.
Foreign enemies are also very cautious. The more united the Xie family becomes, the less Wang family dares to act without permission. Being strong yourself is the best way to defend yourself against the enemy.
They originally thought that things would be relaxed like this until the Chinese New Year, but Wang's move made the Xie family wary again, knowing that Langya's side was constantly making little moves and ulterior motives.
In the hall of Xie's family.
"...Therefore, I wish to see Wang Xie's good deeds. Miss Wang Qi Shi is close to the head of the Xie family. They are close in age and have a close friendship. They are indeed a good match. I hereby grant you a marriage. The two surnames are combined to make a good marriage, and they are happy to do so. "Hundred years of peace and quiet are suitable for your family."
An old eunuch with white hair and a python robe read out the imperial edict and handed the bright yellow imperial edict to Xie Yuan, who was bowing to receive the edict. For the head of the family named Shangsan, bowing down was already a great gift.
The old eunuch showed a kind smile:
"Thank you, Master, congratulations! Your Majesty has granted you a marriage, you are so blessed!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness! I also thank Eunuch Li."
Xie Yuan calmly accepted the imperial edict and asked Yunzhu to hand a brocade box to the eunuch as a gift.
The old eunuch received the brocade box, shook it, and showed a greedy smile in his eyes:
"Thank you, Master, why are you so polite?"
He put the things away with a smile and asked again:
"The Holy Spirit said that I want to see the big event between the two families before the Mid-Autumn Festival next year, so Mr. Xie needs to hurry up."
"Thank you for informing me. Father-in-law, Chen County also has some beautiful scenery and delicious food. Please stay here for a few days and let me entertain you."
Xie Yuan said.
The eunuch waved his hand:
"Hey, the Holy One is in need of someone to serve him, and our family has always been close to him. If it weren't for the decree given by a noble person like Mr. Thank you, Master, for hanging around here.”
"Since the Holy One has called me, I will not keep Eunuch Li. Eunuch Li, go slowly."
Xie Yuan sent the eunuch outside the clan's territory, and the eunuch boarded the carriage with his entourage waiting on him.
The carriage started slowly, and the eunuch opened the curtains and waved enthusiastically to Xie Yuan outside.
It wasn't until the car was far away that he retracted his head, lowered the curtains, and his smile instantly faded.
He took out the brocade box, looked at the treasure inside, and sneered:
"These aristocratic families are really willing to give up things. They just don't kneel before the imperial edict, and they don't express their stance on the edict. They really deserve to be killed! Hmm, wait until the two families are really married..."
He threw the brocade box aside, closed his eyes, and began to rest.
Xie Yuan watched the eunuch go away, handed the imperial edict to Yunzhu next to him, and said with a smile:
"This Xue Shishi dares to interfere with my business even though his butt is still hot?"
Yunzhu whispered:
"Master, after all, this is the official decree of the imperial court. What should we do?"
The Wang family sent brother and sister Wang Qiwen and Wang Qishi to discuss marriage, but they were perfunctory and were attacked by the fire envoy after they returned.
And because they later saw an opportunity to seize Tianyunpu, they put aside the matter of marriage.
Until now, they seem to have been thinking about it for a long time and still want to restart this move.
Naturally, it was impossible for Xie Yuan to agree because of emotions and reasons.
If there is a marriage at this time, the status of the father-in-law and mother-in-law of the Xie family will give Wang Yunzhi the opportunity to legitimately intervene in the affairs of the Xie family.
The Prime Minister, who is extremely powerful and has great power, and there are countless great masters in the world. Under his control, if loopholes are dug from within, the Xie family may not be able to resist, and there may be a real risk of being annexed in just one generation.
It's just that the Wang family asked the emperor to make the decree himself. On the surface, everyone respects the imperial court. If they resist the decree, it will be a big trouble.
This news quickly spread throughout the Xie clan, making many elders frown.
You can neither accept it nor find sufficient reasons to deal with it.
However, since Wang asked the emperor to issue the order directly, he must have made sufficient preparations and would not let Xie Yuan delay.
What to do?
For a while, the elders thought of many ideas and submitted them.
Some suggested finding someone to get married on the spot, some said that Zhi Zuxin would be disabled in order to break off the engagement, and some claimed that he had the habit of Longyang - this was regarded as a refined and elegant person, but it was not too outrageous.
Forget it all, even though they are all bad ideas, they are still good ideas.
But some people said that Xie Yuan's face turned slightly blue when he claimed that he had taken too much powder and was not humane.
At first glance, it was Xie Zhijianyan.
Good guy, do you think you have no chance and are planning to start from the next generation? With Xie Yuan's possibility of marriage cut off and no offspring left, naturally the children will be very competitive.
However, given Xie Yuan's talent and potential, he would probably live longer than Xie Zhi's eldest son, who had passed the age of 18, and his youngest son, who was just full-term. This would have to be decided by his grandchildren or even great-grandchildren.
The elders don't know what Xie Yuan is planning to do. In fact, perhaps the most reasonable thing is to get married?
Although this can be regarded as Ming's rebellion, he is the head of a large family after all, so as long as this point of willfulness is justified, it is better than other methods.
Moreover, everyone knows that Xie Yuan has a sweetheart, the daughter of King Pingxi. With this identity, if the two really got married quickly, the emperor probably wouldn't be able to say anything.
It can be called the best choice. Even the embarrassment of Situ Qin's identity, compared to this situation, they felt that it might be bearable.
Of course, when Xie Lingyun heard this idea, she was furious.
And Cui Pingjun also rarely showed his disapproval.
"If you want to marry her now, I, I will..."
Xie Lingyun whispered "I'm just" in Xie Yuan's ear for a long time, but didn't come out, just wandering around in the house.
Xie Yuan sighed:
"Okay, stop turning around, it's making your eyes dazzled. I won't marry Miss Qin."
"Yeah!"
Xie Lingyun smiled.
"The only choice is to marry Wang Qishi."
"No!!!"
Xie Lingyun's face darkened.
Xie Yuan couldn’t laugh or cry:
"Then what should I do? Hey, Lingyun, didn't I say before that Miss Qin is..."
"Stop it! I don't want to hear it now!"
Xie Lingyun blocked her ears.
Xie Yuan sighed, shook his head, and said he would try to persuade him later.
But he had no intention of marrying Situ Qin this time.
He and Situ Qin were in love, but they didn't want to get married because of this impure reason. They neither respected their friendship nor Situ Qin.
What's more, Situ Qin hasn't said yes yet. If she proposes marriage just to solve a problem, I don’t know whether she will agree to it, but Li Tai, Aunt Hong, and even the one from Tianwaitian... will definitely not agree, and they may even rush to Chen County to beat her up. He paused.
However, Xie Yuan still half-jokingly wrote about this matter in his correspondence with Situ Qin, asking her if she could help.
It was half a joke and half a test.
If I wanted to marry you, how would you respond?
As a result, a few days later, Situ Qin's reply arrived, also half-joking.
"...willing to serve!"
The signature on the letterhead is still the playful and vivid Guqin mark.
Despite Xie Yuan's inappropriate joke test, she was still generous and responded to the joke, or perhaps returned her feelings.
Xie Yuan looked at the letter and felt a little dizzy for a moment, and he really had the urge to pretend to be real.
marry! Get married first!
But at this time, Xie Yuan had already used other solutions, and it was very fast.
He carefully put away the letters. Although he had stored every correspondence with Situ Qin properly, he marked this one and had to keep it as evidence.
Two days after Eunuch Li brought the imperial edict, the Xie family of Chen County announced it to the world.
The head of the family, Xie Yuan, began to retreat indefinitely, seeking to break through the master's method.
By the way, they also included Xie Yuan's age - he is a weakling at the turn of the year.
The news spread very quickly through the official channels of the Xie family and reached the capital before Eunuch Li.
Such quick dragging of words naturally showed no mercy to the royal family at all.
"The Xue family is openly following the Wang family and confronting us. First it was Tianyunpu, and then this time.
"No matter how we deal with it, they will not let us go easily. I know a little about Xue Shishi. When he was weak, he persuaded the king to thank him. If the royal family becomes powerful one day, he will not treat us with pretense.< br>
"So, we are all enemies anyway, how can we save any face? I, the Xie family of Chen County, can shrink and stay temporarily, but I will not be submissive."
This is equivalent to direct resistance, but there is nothing wrong with it.
Martial arts is the most respected thing, so we can't let other family heads fail to break through to become a master?
It's just that Xie Yuan, at such an age and with such a high level of cultivation, has to go into seclusion to break through to become a master, and he also specifically marked his age... Such an obvious excuse, so obvious that it's so deliberate.
Everyone felt that the Xie family deliberately gave eye drops to the royal family.
He is truly worthy of the temper and character of a thousand-year-old family. Even if he is slightly depressed, how can he accept the marriage proposal from some emperor?
Rumors spread in the palace that a new batch of vases had been replaced in the royal study that day.
It’s New Year again.
On New Year's Eve, the head of the family held a banquet as usual.
It was the second New Year's Eve reunion banquet hosted by Xie Yuan.
But unlike last year, this year's people came together exceptionally well.
Xie Lei, who has come out of seclusion, is walking like a dragon and a tiger, with a spring breeze on his face;
Xie Bing, who has long since recovered from his injuries, is impressive, deep and serious.
This is an old man who came last year.
But the old man who was the most virtuous and respected last year is still in seclusion.
In addition to familiar faces, there are also former opponents such as Xie Wen and Xie Zhi, who can now gather together to eat together, just like the Xie family in the past.
Although Xie Zhi still had a bad look on his face, because Xie Yuan asked several elders, Xie Jun and Cui Pingjun to review the annual accounts he paid, and pointed out many problems and flaws, and his words were extremely serious.
Moreover, Xie Yuan also hinted to him that Xie Wen was eyeing his Xinglong Hall, which made Xie Zhi very stressed. He was also secretly surprised that Xie Yuan actually told him this news, and he couldn't help but pay attention and felt a lot of urgency.
But, when did we have to work so hard? It had never been so difficult when Xie Yi was here before.
It was a reunion banquet for the family heads. Everyone looked at Xie Yuan, who was the old god, and secretly thought about the retreat to break through the master. It seemed to be a pure excuse.
Many elders couldn't help but secretly let out an inexplicable sigh of relief.
It doesn't matter if the strength is high, everyone can still comfort themselves that after all, the realm is crushing.
It would be rare in history for someone to become a master at a young age, and the elders would no longer be able to show off as seniors in front of the young family head.
After all, with Xie Yuan's strength, if he really breaks through, how can he be an ordinary grandmaster? I'm afraid that everyone below the high-level grandmaster is in danger.
Okay, okay, it looks like there is no sign of a breakthrough.
[Immortal Golden Bell·Third Floor: (2998/3000)]
Looking at the progress that was down to the last two points, Xie Yuan just pondered.
The Lantern Festival has passed, and the Spring Festival is over.
Xie Yuan was thinking about the breakthrough when Cui Pingjun called him.
It is said that there are some changes in Xie Yi's situation. (End of chapter)
