But he is not a heartless person, and he will not stand idly by when seeing changes in Cha Jin.
On the same day, he took Cha Jin and left Tianyuan Academy on Ning Sihua's blue-scaled eagle.
…
The Wei Dynasty is located in the west of the Zhou Dynasty, with an extremely vast territory. It is very cold all year round, and it snows most of the year.
Therefore, the Wei Dynasty is also known as the "Snow Kingdom".
Martial arts prevailed in the Wei Dynasty, and all men and women, old and young, were proud to be warriors.
Tianque City.
The imperial capital of the Great Wei Dynasty was prosperous and prosperous. In terms of scale and heritage, it was not inferior to the Yujing City, the imperial capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and even exceeded it.
May seventeenth.
The sky was gloomy, with heavy snow falling, and the biting cold wind was as biting as a knife.
Several miles away from Tianque City, Su Yi and Cha Jin landed on the blue-scaled eagle.
Snow lay on the ground, making a crunching sound when you step on it.
Looking around, the sky and the earth are covered with white snow, the cold wind is howling, and it is a vast scene.
Although Su Yi was wearing a thin green robe, he didn't feel the cold at all. He said leisurely: "In this extremely cold weather, set up a red clay stove, go boating on the ice lake, prepare a pot of strong wine, and admire the snowy sky and the river.
It’s most pleasant to cook hotpot while you’re at it.”
Cha Jin was startled for a moment and then said with a smile: "Young master, I'm very interested. Ten miles northwest of Tianque City, there is a large lake called 'Qianxue'. It is surrounded by mountains and covered with snow all year round. The lake is rich in a species called 'Qingsuo'."
'The big fish is the best in the Wei Dynasty. When I have time, I will take the young master there, and we will go boating on the lake, drink wine and cook hot pot."
"Let it go. When you feel interested, go. If you're not interested, it's boring to go. Let's go and have a look at your house first."
Su Yi put his hands behind his back and walked towards the distance.
Cha Jin patted the green-scaled eagle's wings affectionately and said: "Xiaoqing, please wait in this area. Once the young master and I resolve the matter, we will set off back to Dazhou."
The blue-scaled eagle nodded, then spread its wings and flew away.
Tianque City is extremely majestic in scale and stands tall on the earth. The black city wall looks like a winding dragon, which is extremely eye-catching in the vast white sky and earth.
There were many people coming and going at the city gate, bustling with people, and there were many warriors with swords.
Although the appearance of Su Yi and Cha Jin attracted a lot of attention, it did not cause any commotion.
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, Su Yi was a young legend who was famous all over the world. He was the Imperial Master of the Great Zhou Dynasty who was canonized by the Crown Prince Zhou Zhili.
But in Tianque City of the Great Wei Dynasty, he was just a strange young man that no one knew. The reason why he attracted attention was because of the outstanding appearance of the tea brocade around him.
Upon arriving at Tianque City, Cha Jin was obviously very excited, but the sadness between his brows also increased instead of decreasing.
She is timid about being close to her hometown. This is the place where she grew up.
But this time she came back because something happened at home, which made her not happy at all.
After entering the city, Cha Jin hired a carriage and, together with Su Yi, ran straight to his home in the northeastern area of Tianque City.
The Shen family is one of the few top families in the Wei Dynasty.
The clan leader, Shen Changkong, had been canonized as a "prefecture king" by the Emperor of Wei decades ago, and he was considered to have overwhelming power.
The mansion of the Shen family was built in the northeastern area of Tianque City. It covers an area of 100 acres, has many courtyards, and many pavilions. There are hundreds of servants, and it shows an aristocratic atmosphere.
When the carriage arrived not far from the Shen family's residence, Cha Jin hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Master, I... I want to go back alone to take a look at the situation first."
Su Yi nodded.
He could tell at a glance that Chajin was worried that taking her home would easily cause unnecessary inquiries or even trouble.
After all, Cha Jin is the daughter of the head of the Shen family. If she suddenly brings a strange man back, it will inevitably attract a lot of attention.
Immediately, Cha Jin hurried away alone.
Su Yi thought for a while, got off the carriage, and planned to find a restaurant nearby to have a drink.
But he couldn't find the restaurant, but he saw a familiar figure in the distance.
The man was dressed in a red robe, handsome and elegant, and walked into the Shen family's mansion with two old servants.
"It turned out to be him."
Su Yi frowned and thought for a moment, then remembered that this young man in red robe was named Lu Hao, and he was Cha Jin's fellow senior.
Back when he was in Yunhe County, this person had hidden in secret and assassinated him with the secret treasure of Talisman Sword.
Later, when he was in Gunzhou City, this man brought Liu Hongqi, the deacon of the outer sect of Yuelun Sect, to Soseki's residence, intending to deal with him.
As a result, Liu Hongqi was killed by himself, while Lu Hao escaped first.
Su Yi still remembered that when this guy escaped, he shouted angrily that he would come back with revenge in the future.
I never thought that after a few months, I would actually see this guy again in the capital of Wei Dynasty.
"Could it be said that the changes that happened to the Shen family are related to the Yuelun Sect?"
Su Yi thought for a while and lost interest in having a drink. He immediately came to the wall on the side of the Shen family's mansion and stood silently.
And his consciousness quietly swept up and swept towards the Shen family.
…
Shen family.
"Brother, didn't the letter say that you...you were arrested?"
Cha Jin opened his eyes wide with disbelief on his face.
She never expected that under the guidance of her servants, she would meet her brother Shen Yanxing!
"Sister, don't ask me yet, I will take you to see your father."
Mr. Shen Yan sighed, with a complicated look on his face.
He has a slim figure, a face like a crown jade, and his eyebrows are somewhat similar to those of tea brocade. He is a handsome man among the younger generation of the Wei Dynasty.
Now he holds a position in the "Suppression and Punishment Department" of the Wei royal family, directly taking orders from the Emperor of Wei, and has received personal approval from the Emperor of Wei.
"Brother, what is going on? Why did you lie to me in the letter?"
Chajin was originally very worried about the safety of her father and brother, but at this time, she felt something was wrong and she felt like she had been deceived.
Shen Yanxing did not dare to look directly at Cha Jin and said, "You will understand when you meet father."
With that said, he turned around and walked towards the Shen family's meeting hall.
Cha Jin was full of doubts, but still followed.
Along the way, she was keenly aware that there was something wrong with the way she saw the relatives and friends of the Shen family and the servants and guards looking at her.
"This...what exactly happened? Is it possible that the reason why I came back this time was not because something happened to my family?"
Cha Jin's heart was full of doubts.
When they arrived at the meeting hall, they saw that in the magnificent palace, all the dignitaries of the Shen family had gathered and were sitting on the chairs on both sides of the hall.
They are all elders of her clan, some hold the position of elder and some hold the position of deacon.
And on the main seat in the center, sat a majestic middle-aged man in robes, with a willow beard floating under his chin, and his eyes opening and closing like cold light and lightning, which was extremely intimidating.
It was Shen Changkong, the head of the Shen family, one of the "eight princes" of the Wei Dynasty, a strong man who had set foot in the realm of the Xiantian Wuzong many years ago, and was famous and prestigious in the Wei Dynasty.
Seeing a group of senior figures from the Shen family gathered together, Cha Jin was shocked by such a lineup. When she saw her father Shen Changkong, she couldn't help but feel doubts in her heart and said with a look of astonishment on her face:
"Father, are you...are you okay?"
In the letter she received, it was said that her father had been deprived of the title of "county king" and could not afford to fall ill. The entire clan was in turmoil due to internal and external troubles.
Said that her brother Shen Yanxing was arrested...
But at this time, she couldn't help but feel confused. Everything she said in the letter seemed to be false!
"Girl, you are finally back."
Shen Changkong stood up with complicated eyes.
This was not like the joy of father and daughter reunited after a long separation. The strange look made Cha Jin feel that her father had become much more distant and unfamiliar after not seeing each other for several years.
"Don't blame father for writing to lie to you. I had no choice but to do it."
Shen Changkong sighed softly, sat back on his seat, and said, "Fortunately, you are back. Otherwise, our Shen family might have suffered a disaster."
"Disaster?"
Cha Jin became more and more confused, "Who in the Wei Dynasty dares to threaten our Shen family like this? Father, what is going on? Why am I getting more and more confused?"
Shen Changkong was silent for a moment and said: "Girl, don't ask anymore, I can only say that you are the only one who can save our Shen family now."
As he spoke, a bitter look appeared on his brows, and he said to an old man sitting on one side: "Great Elder, let you speak."
The old man wore a gorgeous robe, had a swallow's jaw and a tiger's beard, and had eyes like an eagle. His name was Chen Shanzhong.
Hearing this, he looked at Cha Jin and said in a deep voice: "Girl, now our Shen family is facing a disaster. I only ask you, as a member of the Shen family, if you have the ability to save the lives of the entire clan. , will you save me?"
Cha Jin said without hesitation: "Save!"
Chen Shanzhong showed a look of relief and said: "Then let me ask you again, if saving the lives of everyone in our clan requires sacrificing your own life, are you... willing?"
As soon as these words came out, all eyes in the hall immediately turned to Cha Jin. Only Shen Changkong and Shen Yanxing seemed to feel guilty and did not dare to look at Cha Jin.
Cha Jin was startled and said in confusion: "Sacrificing me can save the entire clan?"
The Great Elder Shen Shan nodded and said: "That's right! If it weren't for this, we wouldn't have written a letter asking you to come back, because the life and death of our entire clan now depends on your decision alone."
Chajin felt something was wrong more and more, and her heart became heavy. She subconsciously looked at her father and brother, but found that both of them avoided her eyes and did not look at her at all.
This made her feel cold and her hands and feet felt cold. What could have happened that made her father and brother so cruel that they would sacrifice my life?
How could they... be so cold and heartless?
Taking a deep breath, Cha Jin looked at the Great Elder Shen Shanzhong again and said, "Great Elder, what if I don't agree?"
Suddenly, there was a commotion among everyone present.
Chen Shanzhong's face also darkened, and he said: "Girl, compared to the lives of the entire clan, why can't you aggrieve yourself? Do you really want to watch your father, brother, relatives and friends... and the rest of the entire clan, All suffered?"
His expression is majestic, his eyes are sharp, and he is intimidating.
Cha Jin felt it was difficult to breathe and her pretty face was pale. How could she have imagined that when she returned from traveling all the way to the home she was most familiar with, she would encounter such a thing?
