Be careful about the branch over there? Aren't those people all my father's subordinates? Why should you be careful about them?
Before Teng Fei had time to think, he saw Teng Yu walking towards him with red eyes.
Teng Yu was in a bad mood. She originally thought that her younger brother would go to the imperial capital with her, but she didn't expect that her younger brother would go to a remote and bitter cold place like the Western Frontier. This made Teng Yu very reluctant to leave and felt a little uncomfortable. After sending Teng Fei away,
It was time for her to return to the Narcissus Douwu Academy in the Imperial Capital. Teng Yu tried hard to force out a smile, but it turned out to be a bit uglier than crying.
However, this true revelation moved Teng Fei's heart. Teng Fei smiled freely: "Sister, wait for me in the imperial capital. I will definitely come to find you in three years!"
"Little bastard, if you dare not go, my sister will never be done with you!" Seeing Teng Fei's relaxed look, Teng Yu also felt a little less sad about the separation, and smiled, the girl's face was bright and moving.
"Okay, let's go!"
Teng Fei waved to everyone, turned around and got into the carriage. From a distance, Teng Fei seemed to see a somewhat familiar face flashing among the crowd of people watching in the distance. He frowned slightly. Teng Fei was not overly concerned.
care.
Taking one last look at the still prosperous Tengjia Town, Teng Fei's face turned cold: This time he went to the far west, wasn't it a kind of forbearance and avoidance?
Otherwise, his path should be to the imperial capital! Not to the distant and unknown mysterious western border!
The eight major families, Fan family, Li family, Zhang family, Leng Yuanye, wait for me, I will be back!
With a clear shout from the handlebar of the leading car, the long convoy finally set off!
Everyone in the Teng family watched the convoy leave, and Teng Wenxuan thought to himself: Son, I hope that the goods of this large convoy will make your life easier there. The Teng family's branch, hey... branch? Now, I'm afraid it has already become independent.
Do you claim to be orthodox? Second child and third child, when Yun Zhi died, you refused to come back at all, thinking that I don’t understand your thoughts? I haven’t contacted you for ten years, so you should too
Understand, what I value is not the property. My son is gone. What do I want with the property? I just hope that for Yun Zhi's sake, you can treat his son well. This boy,
He is not the trash you imagined. You must not treat him as a trash young man who wants to recycle his father's property, and don't get the idea of this truckload of goods, otherwise, you will suffer a big loss.
!
Thinking about it, a cold smile appeared on the corner of Teng Wenxuan's mouth, with a hint of sadness in the smile.
Turning around, he said to Teng Lei who was secretly wiping his eyes: "Lei'er, you are not young anymore. This time, go to the imperial capital with your sister and don't stay with the family!"
Teng Lei nodded and said, "Don't worry, Grandpa, I will definitely not bring shame to the family!"
Teng Wenxuan nodded, waved his hands a little tiredly, and said, "Okay, let's go back!"
…
In the distance, in the corner, Tuoba Minlie was leaning against the wall, with a look of fear and resentment on his face, his chest rising and falling violently, and he kept breathing heavily. The look from Teng Fei just now made him feel like he had fallen into an ice cave.
, confused, except for the cold sweat.
He didn't know what was wrong with him, why he was so afraid of Teng Fei? But it was okay now, no one in the Tuoba family would laugh at him, because Tuoba Hongfeng's coffin was still placed in the mourning hall.
That shocking sword blow. Even now, when the Tuoba family members who saw that scene recall it, they can't help but have a look of fear on their faces and their hands and feet are cold.
The strongest people died under Teng Fei's sword. Who in the entire Tuoba family is not afraid of Teng Fei? Now that Teng Fei is finally gone, everyone in the Tuoba family should breathe a sigh of relief.
Tuoba Minhong's handsome face became a little distorted due to extreme hatred, and his eyes were full of hatred.
"Teng Fei, just wait. One day, I will kill you with my own hands! I will definitely!" Tuoba Minlie gritted his teeth and swore.
…
Teng Fei sat quietly in the carriage, constantly thinking about the last words his grandfather told him before leaving: Be careful about the Teng family branch over there!
This sentence weighed heavily on Teng Fei's heart. In the past ten years, Teng Fei had never cared about things in the West Frontier. Perhaps he deliberately did not want to think about the place name, because when he thought of the West Frontier, he would always think of it.
Thinking of his dead parents, the heartache that others can never understand.
Teng Fei knew that the branches of the Teng family that stayed in the west border were his second grandfather and third grandfather.
In Teng Wenxuan's generation, the Teng family has three direct brothers, namely the eldest Teng Wenxuan, the second eldest Teng Wenting, and the third eldest Teng Wenhu.
After Teng Yunzhi opened the Western Frontier Trade Road and laid the foundation, Teng Wenting and Teng Wenhu applied to their elder brother Teng Wenxuan and took the initiative to open up wasteland there.
When I went there, my whole family moved, and they never came back.
After Teng Yunzhi's death, all the business in the West Frontier was taken over by Teng Wenting and Teng Wenhu. Although these two people did not have the formula for the Teng family's core elixir - Teng's Vitality Powder, they had quite a few elixir formulas in their hands.
Moreover, the pharmacists and blacksmiths there back then were some of the best in the Teng family.
Therefore, even if there is no core medicine recipe and weapon forging recipe, it is not difficult to develop. Especially at that time, Teng Yunzhi had completely established himself there and had that solid foundation there. As long as he did not mess around, his business would be
If it continues to develop, there will definitely be no problem.
In the early years, Teng Fei rarely communicated with others due to his own reasons. Therefore, he did not know many things. It seemed that the old man did not want him to know too much. The old man, who was always quick to talk to others, was talking to him about the West.
When in the border area, he also became vague.
Teng Fei thought to himself: Maybe knowing too much is not good for him.
Although Teng Fei's experience and experience are insufficient, he is not stupid. He can almost imagine how the family branches there will react if he goes to the west. Maybe they won't welcome him, right?
They may even think that going to the Western Frontier was a clever move by Teng Wenxuan!
The Western Frontier was a place that his father had opened up. If he goes there now, people there will definitely think that he is here to take over his father's property!
Teng Fei thought to himself, and he understood to some extent why his grandfather didn't tell him everything. He was probably afraid that if he did, he would have some thoughts that he shouldn't have, and he would be at a disadvantage if he faced those old fritters, right?
Teng Fei leaned on the soft cushion and thought quietly: I don't care about those so-called properties, and I don't like others to target me. I don't bother to care about and ask about things that I shouldn't get, but they really belong to me.
Yes, no one can take it away!
On the first night when they rushed to the western frontier, they stayed overnight on the edge of the Mangdang Mountains. On this day, they traveled more than 70 miles. If nothing unexpected happened, it would take about three months to reach the seaside and sail on the sea.
It takes months to reach the western border.
This is the most ideal state. Once something unexpected happens, the entire trip will be extended indefinitely.
However, as long as you reach the Western Frontier, all the goods here will become priceless treasures! Even an ordinary piece of porcelain can be sold for sky-high prices there!
When Teng Yunzhicheng opened up this trade route and arrived at the Western Frontier for the first time, he lost more than half of his personnel, but when he came back, he had a truck full of gold!
Later, Teng Yunzhicheng established a foothold in the Western Frontier, and the strength of the Teng family was greatly improved. It can be said that if Teng Yunzhi had not died, the current Teng family would probably be called a super rich man in the entire Zhenwu Dynasty.
!
This trade route is also called the Golden Road by the Teng family!
This time, there were about 370 people in the entire caravan, including more than 50 elite guards of the Teng family. The rest were all old people who had followed Teng Yunzhi through this trade route. They were extremely experienced.
Only these people in the entire Teng family can walk through this complicated road safely.
This is also the reason why the old man was so heartbroken that after he closed this golden road, the branch in the west border could no longer get support from here. They themselves couldn't walk this complicated road at all!
Of course, there is another more important reason why the old man lost contact with the family branch in the west border, and that is: Teng Yunzhi's death made the old man uneasy. Although there is no direct evidence that the family branch there was involved, at least
, when something happened to Teng Yunzhi, their indifference and inaction made the old man deeply worried.
He simply closed this golden road in anger.
The old people in the caravan today know very well some of the things that happened to the Teng family recently, and they also know why the old man reopened this trade route ten years later.
Therefore, they all respect Teng Fei very much.
Especially those who have heard about Teng Fei's recent actions, when facing Teng Fei, they can't help but feel a bit of awe.
No one would have thought that a few months ago, Master Teng Fei, who was regarded as a waste by many people, had done many things in just a few months that others would never be able to do in their lifetime!
No matter which one you say, it will cause a sensation!
He defeated the young genius Wang Weiyang of the Wang family in Qingping Mansion and became a blockbuster. He held the eight major families and openly blackmailed the eight major families. Although he failed, he personally chopped off the heads of more than a dozen high-ranking powerful men of the eight major families that night, leaving the eight major families.
The losses were heavy and the vitality was severely damaged; a man broke into Tuoba's house and killed dozens of people. He beheaded Tuoba Minhong, the biological son of the head of the Tuoba family, and hacked to death the younger brother of the head of the Tuoba family. I heard that he was still a member of the Tuoba family.
The most powerful master!
Such an achievement has not been achieved even by Teng Yunzhi, the third master back then!
Although all Teng Yunzhi did were big things that they didn't understand at all, to the people of the Teng family, the things Teng Fei did were more intuitive and shocking to them.
In the evening, a group of people would form a circle around a cart filled with goods and protect it outside. This would form a natural barrier against attacks by robbers or wild beasts.
Several veterans in the caravan, together with the leader of the guard this time, and Teng Fei, gathered around a strong bonfire, making soup and chatting.
The leader of the guard is a branch of the Teng family. He is Teng Fei's uncle in terms of seniority. His name is Teng Yuncao.
However, Teng Fei had no intention of looking down on this clan uncle. If he could stand out among the elite guards of the Teng family and become a leader, he would naturally have extraordinary abilities.
Teng Yuncao was also very polite to this young master. He saw Teng Fei's strength with his own eyes. That night, when people from the eight major families came to attack, Teng Fei had killed someone directly!
Not to mention that Teng Fei single-handedly singled out the entire Tuoba family, which in Teng Yincao's view was simply unbelievable, so he respected the young master from the bottom of his heart.
"Master Fei, how are you? Are you used to it?" Teng Yuncao fiddled with the bonfire to make it burn brighter. The aroma of broth filled the iron pot on top.
Teng Fei smiled, glanced at the people around the bonfire, and said, "It's a bit unfamiliar, but I will get used to it soon!"
Teng Fei's words made the people around him look at him with admiration, and their eyes changed from the original awe to a kind one.
The reason is very simple. No matter how strong Teng Fei is, he is only strong in terms of force. He is only thirteen years old. In the eyes of these people who have been walking around all year round, living under the stars and sleeping in the open air as the norm, Teng Fei is just a child who has not grown up.
Generally speaking, when a young master who has never suffered hardships hears this kind of question, he will either look miserable and say that this is not a life for human beings; or he will try to show off his heroic spirit and say that it is no problem at all.
After all, this is only the first day.
However, Teng Fei directly said that he was not used to it and did not lie, which shows that he has a very good quality. He then said that he would get used to it soon. This also shows that he has a perseverance and is not afraid of hardship.
What they like is people with Teng Fei's personality. If they don't like someone, even if Teng Fei is the son of their most respected third master, they still don't like him.
Teng Fei knew that when he went to the Western Frontier, these people had to be united first. Although his grandfather handed them over to him, although he did not say it clearly, the real meaning was that he asked them to follow him from now on!
No matter what, these experienced old people must be in their own hands and cannot be poached by the family branches over there!
Maybe grandpa has other secret instructions for these old people, but Teng Fei understands that he must let these people accept him first, otherwise, everything will be empty talk.
The old man probably thought so too, so he simply didn’t say anything to Teng Fei. According to the Teng family’s family motto, the way to educate younger generations is to withstand setbacks and hardships before they can achieve great things.
