After Zhang Yiming returned to Xuan Academy from Xu Yangkun's house, he was caught by Gu Lao.
"You boy, you have no time all day long."
"There is no way, those who can do it more," said Zhang Yiming.
"If you are beaten, you can still know how to come back." Gu Lao said obscurely.
"I can solve some things myself, so I don't want to bother others." Zhang Yiming said.
Gu Lao snorted: "Okay, if you have the ability, you can solve this problem yourself."
"Yejia has already confirmed the time and will ask you to meet tomorrow night."
“Where is it?”
"Kyoto, Yuchun Tower!" Gu Lao said.
Zhang Yiming recalled that Yuchunlou is a famous upper-flow place in Kyoto. Those who are not members cannot enter unless they enter with members or have an invitation.
To put it bluntly, it is the social place for the upper class.
"Are you talking about anything else?" Zhang Yiming said.
The ancient saying: "The requirement is that the alchemist must come forward, and the alchemist can only go alone!"
Zhang Yiming sneered:
"Why do they say what they say is what they say?"
"This meeting is fair, so of course it won't be whatever they say, and I won't let you go alone."
The ancient one looked at Zhang Yiming obliquely.
Zhang Yiming is the only alchemist in China today. No matter what he does, he must ensure his safety.
Although it is good to be able to get in touch with the ancient martial arts family, it must also be to ensure Zhang Yiming's safety.
"Tomorrow, I will let the demon dragon go with you."
Zhang Yiming's eyes rolled and he looked at the ancients with a smile:
"Don't you go with us?"
The ancient bearded and glared:
"Didn't you say you can solve it yourself? Then you can solve it yourself! The demon dragon will not interfere with any of your decisions, it just protects your personal safety!"
Zhang Yiming hugged the ancient arm and shook:
"This is another matter. Think about it, the alchemist has never shown his face in front of others. The other party doesn't know me, what if they don't believe it."
"But if you go too, they will believe it as soon as they are done. We will definitely go to negotiate tomorrow. It's okay if you don't go. If I have less conditions to discuss later, you won't be allowed to talk to me!"
Gu Lao thought about it carefully and said that he was right.
Rather than saying that this is a negotiation between Zhang Yiming and Ye’s family, it is better to say that it is a negotiation between Xuan Academy and Ye’s family.
All the conditions are not only for Zhang Yiming, but for the entire Xuan Academy, and even the official one.
Gu Lao really believed that if Zhang Yiming was allowed to go by himself, if he had disagreement, either the talk broke down or the talk was too little.
Thinking of this, the old man said:
"Okay, I'll go!"
Zhang Yiming remained silent when he heard this, but in fact the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
"By the way, I don't know much about Yejia yet, why don't you tell me about it."
Zhang Yiming asked seriously.
Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. This time, when you meet with Ye’s family, Zhang Yiming roughly knows what the other party came for.
At the same time, the ancients are also ready for a series of requirements and conditions.
"Ye family, this surname is rare in the history of China."
Zhang Yiming nodded:
"Yes, I heard Wei Yuanxing say last time, it seems to be the royal family. But after checking it later, I didn't find that there was a royal family in the history of China that had a surname of 'also'. Could it be that he was wrong?
Now?"
Zhang Yiming touched his chin in confusion.
Gu Lao shook his head and said firmly:
"It's right. There is indeed a royal family in the history of China, but it's very long, and it starts with the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms after the Tang Dynasty."
"The surname also originated from Mongolia, Tujia, Xixia, Western Regions, Xianbei. At that time, the surname Ye was originally a big surname. The Western Xia Dynasty was established in 1038 AD. At that time, the Dangxiang people who established this dynasty had the surname Ye, so there was also the surname Ye Ye.
The term for royal surnames.”
"No! I remember the surname of the Western Xia Dynasty, it was obviously Li!" Zhang Yiming asked.
"Do you know, how did the surname Li come from?" Gu Lao asked.
Zhang Yiming shook his head. He was not proficient in history.
Gu Lao continued:
"The distant ancestor of the King of Xixia, Li Yuanhao, was specially granted the surname Li because he was successful in pacifying the Huang Chao uprising. Naturally, the descendants of the clan members were all Li. With the demise of the Li Tang Dynasty, the Western Xia was established. Because of the remaining power of the Li Tang Dynasty, Li Yuanhao did not think about changing it.
Return to the ancestor's surname."
"But there are rumors that in order to maintain the inheritance of the bloodline of the Ye family, Li Yuanhao specially asked his younger brother to change his surname to the ancestor and the Ye family. Therefore, he became a royal surname."
Zhang Yiming said: "Is it true to maintain the bloodline inheritance? Instead of fearing that his younger brother will steal his throne?"
Gu Lao gave him a blank look:
"No matter what it is for, it has been changed back to Ye's surname. On the genealogy of the ancient martial arts family, the first page of the name is written on this ancestor, Ye Yuanran!"
Zhang Yiming nodded:
"So this is really amazing."
"It's amazing. There is no dynasty in China now. But we should not underestimate it!"
said ancient and serious.
How many famous and promising families have been produced in China, but how many can be truly inherited and preserved?
From the Western Xia Dynasty to the present, more than a thousand years have passed, and the family can still stand firm and have some free means.
"Although the Ye family has not been born, the family forces are spread all over the country. There is another point that the Ye family is the family with the largest number of intelligence network bases among all ancient martial arts families! Our official cooperation with the Ye family, a few years ago,
A large part of our intelligence sources come from Yejia’s intelligence website!”
Zhang Yiming understands that this is a mutually beneficial thing.
"The ancient martial arts family did not come out. This was the agreed thing at the beginning. Last time I met someone from the Ye family in an undercurrent. This time, the Ye family came to inquire about the elixir. Isn't this a violation of the regulations?"
Zhang Yiming asked.
The ancient sighed.
"I can't say this either. After all, so many years have passed, and everyone is a citizen of China. As long as the law is abide by the law, can the country still prevent them from appearing in front of the world for the rest of their lives?"
Zhang Yiming turned his eyes and asked:
"I have always talked about ancient martial arts families, but how many ancient martial arts families are there?"
"Now there are only eight left." Gu Lao said.
"Now?" Zhang Yiming was puzzled.
"In the past century, the ancient martial arts family has also made great contributions to China. Do you think the ancient martial arts family can be formed by just one family? An ordinary family wants to become an ancient martial arts family, at least
After three hundred years, this is just the beginning. Is Ye’s family powerful? Then let me tell you that Ye’s family is in these eight ancient martial arts families, and they are just at the bottom!"
The ancient said.
Zhang Yiming was surprised.
A family history with more than a thousand years is still at the bottom among the ancient martial arts families.
How powerful should other aristocratic families be?
What background do they have?
Zhang Yiming began to ask.
Gu Lao said lightly:
"There are eight ancient martial arts families in total, namely Qian, Qiu, Ye, Du, Nangong, Helian, Lan, and Linghu. The rankings are in no particular order. If you have the chance in the future, I will explain in detail to you."
