Qin Xiao's heart sank. God is joking. This man in front of him can't really be the eldest son of Changyi Marquis, right?
There are three surnames in Xiling, Yuwen ranks first.
Qin Xiao once guessed which noble family the eldest son in front of him was, and the idea that this person was the eldest son Yuwen flashed through his mind, but it only passed by briefly.
After all, in addition to these three clans in Xiling, there are hundreds of families, large and small. With the three surnames as the trunk and these hundreds of families as branches and leaves, the powerful Xiling clan is formed.
Any male from a wealthy family may be called a son.
But the person in front of me turned out to be Yuwen.
Qin Xiao was stunned and said nothing for a while, wondering if Yuwen Chengchao was a branch of the Yuwen family.
The Yuwen family is a big family in Xiling, and of course there is more than just Changyihou.
Its collateral branches also have a large population, otherwise it would not be possible to become the most powerful family in Xiling.
"Little brother, you are lucky to have met the eldest son." Seeing Qin Xiao in a daze, Zhao Yi thought Qin Xiao was shocked, and said with a proud smile: "This is the eldest son of the old Marquis of Changyi, and also Yu Wen
The real eldest son of the county, the eldest son will reward you with a bright future, even if you don’t want to be prosperous, you won’t be able to succeed.”
As expected, he is the eldest son of the Changyi Hou family.
Qin Xiao smiled bitterly in his heart. It seemed that his luck was really good. As soon as he stepped into Yuwen County, he met the eldest son Yuwen. With such luck, he would definitely win every battle in the casino.
"Zhao Yi, don't talk nonsense." The eldest son Yuwen Chengchao said in a deep voice, and then said to Qin Xiao: "Little brother, follow me back to Fenggan Fucheng first. I will help you arrange the rest." After a pause.
, then asked: "Yes, I still don't know your name."
Qin Xiao felt helpless and could only say: "First Master, my name is...Wang Xiao."
Of course, it is impossible for Qining to tell her real name.
The Zhenhou Mansion is chasing him all over the world. Who knows if they have tried to trick other families. If the Yuwen family accepts the Zhen family's request and helps search for him, then by naming him himself, wouldn't it be like throwing himself into a trap?
"Wang Xiao?" Yuwen Chengchao nodded slightly and said to Fat Fish and the others: "Go back and take those horses with you first. Let's go back to the city and wait for Dapeng and the others."
The two agreed, and Yu Wencheng nodded towards Qin Xiao, and without any further delay, he patted the horse and left.
Qin Xiao looked at the backs of the three people and hesitated for a moment, but then thought in his heart that Da Yin was hiding in the city. As long as he could hide it from Yuwen Chengchao and follow him, the Zhenhou Mansion would be a god, and it was impossible for him to think that he would
He would hang out in the Changyi Houfu. Speaking of it, it would be the safest to stay with Yuwen Chengchao.
He knew that although the Zhenhou Mansion hated him deeply, it was impossible to keep pursuing him. More than three months had passed now. Hongye had said not to return to Turtle City within half a year, which meant that after half a year,
This matter will become much easier.
It doesn't take long for me to follow Yu Wen Chengchao. It will last for three to five months. Then I will find a chance to leave and return to Turtle City to meet Hongye.
He made up his mind and without hesitation, he urged his horse to follow.
Yuwen Chengchao and others knew that Qin Xiao's riding skills were average, so naturally they would not let their horses gallop, so they led Qin Xiao towards the southwest.
The whole night was non-stop. In the morning, we had a meal at a roadside wine shop on the way. The owner of the wine shop saw these people driving a group of horses and thought they were horse dealers. After the meal, the group of people drove
After getting on the horse, we continued heading southwest.
At noon, under the sunlight, Qin Xiao had already seen a huge shadow appearing in the distance. Under the light of the warm summer sun, a huge city suddenly appeared in front of him.
This city is much thicker and larger than Turtle City. It is built with large pieces of bluestone. The three-foot-high city wall is slightly tilted, giving people outside the city an indescribable sense of oppression. It seems that it is close to that city.
, it is possible to be pressed underneath by the thick city wall.
There are double-eaves pavilions on the top of the city, which are obviously turrets, and there are soldiers patrolling back and forth on the city wall.
A solemn and majestic feeling emanates from this huge city wall.
Qin Xiao sighed inwardly. This was the first time he came to Fenggan City and he finally saw what the most powerful city in Xiling was.
At this time, I finally understood why the Xiling Protectorate was established here.
"Fat Fish, you are good at driving horses, send these horses to the White Tiger Camp." Before approaching the city, Yu Wen Chengchao had already ordered to Fat Yu: "Give these horses to Yuan Shangyu, just say it is
My gift to Baihu Camp."
Fat Fish didn't hesitate, got off his horse, carefully picked up the body carried on the horse, walked to Qin Xiao, and said to Qin Xiao: "Brother Wang, could you please take this brother of mine home?" and put it away.
On Qin Xiao's horse, he went over to get on the horse, took the knife in his hand, waved the big knife in the air, and drove the horses to the west.
Qin Xiao thought that the White Tiger Camp should be like Zhenjun's Wolf Cavalry, belonging to the Yuwen clan's private army.
After entering the city, Yuwen Chengchao did not slow down his horse. Instead, he galloped. Qin Xiao and Zhao Yi followed behind. People on the street heard the sound of horse hooves and evaded one after another. Qin Xiao saw this and then
I could vaguely feel that the eldest young master still had a trace of the domineering look of a wealthy young master.
The streets in the city are not too wide, but there are restaurants and restaurants along the way. The scenery is quite beautiful with blue tiles and pale walls, shaded by tall trees.
Qin Xiao sighed inwardly, compared with this place, Turtle City is really a rural place.
It's just that people on both sides were surprised to see people on horseback, and there was a naked man on Yuwen Chengchao's horse. It was very conspicuous in the sun, which made the people even more incredible.
He walked non-stop through the streets and alleys for a long time, and finally stopped outside a large house.
There were two guards in front of the house. When they saw Yu Wen Chengchao coming back, they snatched them out at the same time. One of them stepped forward to take the reins of the horse thrown by Yu Wen Chengchao, and the other took the reins of the horse from Zhao Yi. Yu Wen Chengchao turned over and dismounted.
, stretched out his hand and pulled the Tusun man off the horse. The Tusun man's limbs had been tied before, and his mouth was also blocked. He fell heavily to the ground and groaned incomprehensibly. Yuwen Chengchao said in a deep voice.
: "Bring this dog in and lock it up in that dog cage first."
Qin Xiao also got off the horse. He looked up and saw that there was no plaque on the house. He was surprised. He remembered clearly that there was a plaque on the door of Zhenhou Mansion, and there were big stone lions on the left and right. In addition, there were four people in Qingyi.
The swordsman guards the gate.
Compared with Zhenhou's Mansion, this house is completely different in terms of momentum and scale, and there are only two people guarding it, which is far less impressive than Zhenhou's Mansion.
The title of the Marquis of Changyi is not as low as that of the Marquis of Changxin, and he is more powerful. It is hard for Qin Xiao to imagine that the Yuwenhou Mansion is so ordinary. The houses of some wealthy families in Turtle City are much more grand than this one.
Is Yuwenhou Mansion so low-key?
The two guards cut off the clothes ropes tied to Tusun Bing's legs and pushed him into the house. Zhao Yi looked at the bodies of the two companions on horseback with a solemn expression and asked: "Young Master,
them......?"
"Set up a mourning hall, and I will organize funeral arrangements for them." Yuwen Chengchao looked coldly: "Send someone to inform their families, tell them to express my condolences, and also tell them that I will definitely avenge them, as long as I live for one day.
, I will feed them."
At this moment, several more people hurriedly came out of the house. The first one was wearing a green shirt. He was nearly sixty years old and had a gray beard under his chin. When he saw the scene outside, his expression suddenly changed and he lost his voice: "What's going on?"
Qin Xiao saw that the old man was wearing ordinary clothes, so it was unlikely that he was Chang Yihou.
"Master." Yu Wencheng stepped forward and said with cupped hands: "While hunting, we encountered a group of Tusun people who made a sneak attack. Duan Cheng and Lao Qi were shot dead by the Tusun people. I brought them back and immediately set up a mourning hall for them.
"
"Tusun people?" the old man said in shock: "How come there are Tusun people? Did you read that correctly?"
Zhao Yi stepped forward and said: "Master Pang, you are absolutely right. We have already solved those Tusun people and brought back one alive. We don't understand Tusun's language, so we captured him and interrogated him slowly. By the way, Master Pang
You have traveled across the desert and understand the words of the Tusun people, so you come here to interrogate me."
The old man, Master Pang, frowned, looked at Yu Wencheng and said, "Why don't you go to the Marquis Mansion first and report this matter to the old Marquis?"
Qin Xiao was startled, and then he realized that this place was not Marquis Yuwen's mansion. No wonder it was so ordinary. Thinking about it, as the number one clan in Xiling, the Yuwen family couldn't let their mansion be so shabby even for the sake of face.
Yuwen Chengchao called the old man master. This man seemed to have an unusual status. Perhaps this was Master Pang's house.
However, Qin Xiao, like Master Pang, thought that such a big thing had happened. After returning to the city, Yuwen Chengchao did not return to the Marquis Mansion, but instead came to this place first. It was really strange.
"I will report to his old man later." Yuwen Cheng said: "Master, let me set up a mourning hall first."
"Set up a mourning hall?" Master Pang's face darkened, and he said coldly: "This is simply nonsense. This is your house and belongs to the Yuwen family. What do you want to do when you set up a mourning hall in the Yuwen family's house?"
Qin Xiao was stunned again, wondering if this was Master Pang's house?
Yuwen Chengchao pointed to the corpses on the horse and said, "They are my brothers and they died because of me. Of course I have to arrange funerals for them."
"Chengchao, don't forget that you only have one brother, and that is Young Master." Master Pang was also polite: "They are your subordinates. You can treat them as brothers, but you cannot set up a mourning hall in the Yuwen family's house."
You have already made the old Marquis very dissatisfied, are you going to make him angry?" He told Zhao Yi: "Zhao Yi, take a few people with you, send their bodies back, and go to the accounting office to collect the money.
The family first sent two hundred taels and told them that the funeral expenses will be borne by the eldest son."
"Master...!" Yuwen Chengchao seemed to insist.
Master Pang said angrily: "What else are you going to say? Listen to me, Zhao Yi, what are you doing in a daze? Why don't you do something?" His eyes finally fell on Qin Xiao, he looked at him for a few times, and frowned: "Who is this?
