The pursuit of the bandits lasted for several days and nights. By the time He Quan Ming and the others had escorted the gold back to the He Family Manor, the commotion that shook the entire Taicang County had basically come to an end.
He Yitian had repeatedly suggested to his father that they should quickly return to Taicang County to investigate the situation.
However, these suggestions were all rejected by the experienced and prudent He Quan Xin. Although He Quan Xin usually did not manage the affairs of the family, he appeared extremely determined at this moment.
According to him, the Horse Gang had been attacking Taicang County for several days. Even if they rushed over as fast as they could, they would definitely not make it in time. Furthermore, He Yiming had already gone. If even he could not settle the matter, then they would undoubtedly be courting death if they went forward.
Instead of taking the risk, it was better to escort the gold forward. No matter what, this batch of gold could not be lost.
Even if the He Family had been destroyed by the war, with this gold, they could rebuild the He Family from the ruins.
However, when they returned, they found out what had happened. In particular, there were more than ten versions of the legend of He Yiming. Even some of the servants of the He Family who were present had different versions. However, no matter which version, one thing was certain, and that was that He Yiming had become an inhuman monster in their mouths …
※ ※ ※
Following a series of shouts, a total of ten large carriages drove into the He Family Manor. Under He Yihai's arrangement, more than a hundred people from the Yuan Family had a place to stay.
After the battle at the Xu Family Fortress, even He Yihai had grown a lot. At this moment, he even began to help He Quan Yi manage the manor.
In fact, the third generation of the three aristocratic families seemed to have matured overnight after experiencing the bloody battle. They gradually began to come into contact with the core of the family and began to take over in an orderly manner.
He Quan Xin brought Yitian to the He Family Courtyard first.
Old Master He had already returned from the Xu Family Fortress and lived in the He Family Courtyard. As for the women and children of the He family who had gone into the mountains to hide from the war, they had already returned. The family was reunited and living in harmony.
When the Horse Gang arrived at the city, the old masters of the three aristocratic families became united against a common enemy and no longer had any selfish motives. However, when the horse bandits retreated, their thoughts were immediately stirred. However, what was certain was that as long as Xu Yinjie and Cheng Ningsheng didn't go crazy, they definitely wouldn't take the initiative to become enemies with the He Clan.
In Taicang County, He Jia Village, which had the shortest history, would definitely become the number one aristocratic family among the three aristocratic families.
Entering the He family courtyard, He Quanxin and his son immediately saw He Wude in the main hall.
At this time, He Wude's body was filled with a trace of fatigue. After all, he was already old and his energy couldn't compare to that of a young man.
"Father, you must be frightened this time." He Quanxin stepped forward and bowed.
He Yitian also bowed deeply. Then, he stood up and walked behind the old man. Then, he gently massaged his back.
He Wude nodded his head in satisfaction. He was very pleased with his grandson's attitude and technique.
"Fortunately, we had Yiming this time." The old master sighed. "If he didn't suddenly return and kill the four Stage Ten Inner Strength Bandit leaders, those fellows might not have left so easily."
He Quanxin's brows twitched slightly. "Father, we were lucky to have Yiming on our trip to the Yuan Family. Otherwise, we might not have been able to return smoothly."
He Wude was shocked. Although he had already seen the two of them and knew that since they were here, they should be fine. However, when he heard this, his heart couldn't help but be in suspense.
"What happened? Tell me everything."
"Yes."
He Quanxin didn't hesitate to tell him everything he saw and heard. When he mentioned Lu Xinwen, even his own emotions fluctuated slightly. The impact that He Yiming brought to him at that time was seriously a little too great.
He Wude nodded slightly. He was secretly rejoicing in his heart. Fortunately, he had let He Yiming go with him. Otherwise, not only would he not be able to obtain any benefits from this rescue, he was afraid that even his eldest son and eldest grandson would be sacrificed.
However, no one would have thought that the small Fan Family would be related to an Innate Stage master.
However, a strange thought flashed across their minds at the same time. No one would have thought that the He Family of Taicang would suddenly have an Innate Stage master.
If they knew that there was such a master, no matter how bold the Horse Bandits were, they wouldn't dare to provoke them.
Then, when He Quanxin mentioned the gift from the Yuan Family, He Wude couldn't help but frown.
After a while, he said, "Quanxin, you've made a mistake this time. You can accept the 50,000 taels of gold, but you can't accept 20% of the Yuan Family's shares." He said in a low voice, "The Yuan Family is now living outside Zhengtong County City. The great aristocratic families there have a deep foundation, and we can't compare to them. The Yuan Family only involved you in this because they want to use this method to put Yiming on their chariot. "
He Quanxin smiled bitterly and said, "Father, of course I understand. However, since Yiming made the decision, I can't refute."
He Wude snorted and said, "You're Yiming's uncle, why can't you …"
Speaking of this, the scene of He Yiming roaring and stepping on the wind that day suddenly appeared in his mind. The power of his saber had frightened four thousand people to the point of trembling in fear.
At this moment, he asked himself, if He Yiming was present and made a decision about this matter, would he have the courage to reject or decline?
Thinking of this, a bitter smile appeared on his face. The power of an Innate Expert could not be described with words.
Although this was his grandson, he could no longer treat him as an ordinary person.
"Yitian, go and look for Yiming now. After he came back, he actually went into seclusion again. Sigh … He's already an Innate Expert, why is he still working so hard? "
He Yitian responded. His hands drooped slightly, and he respectfully left the room.
However, he thought to himself, 'Old Master seems to be complaining about something, but his expression and attitude do not have the slightest intention of blaming me.' The old man really did see Sixth Brother in a new light.
Seeing that He Yitian had left, He Quanxin asked in confusion, "Father, why did you send He Yitian away?"
He Wude's expression became serious. He said, "Just now, you said that the Yuan Family gave two women to Tian 'er and Ming' er. What's going on?"
He Quanxin did not know whether to laugh or cry. He said, "Father, these two women are pure girls of the Yuan Family. One of them is Yuan Chengxin's child, so I allowed them to accept them."
He Wude's expression changed, and he snorted lightly.
He Quanxin hurriedly said, "Father, Yiming has already reached the Innate Expert level. Even if he marries a few more concubines, there is absolutely no problem. The consumption of women is nothing to an Innate Expert. "
He Wude sighed and said, "What do you know? I'm not talking about Yiming, I'm talking about Yitian. Don't tell me you don't care about his future?"
He Quanxin hurriedly took out a jade bottle and said, "Father, look at this. With this, one more concubine per day is nothing."
He Wude suspiciously opened the jade bottle. Instantly, a fragrant smell filled the air.
His expression changed instantly. He had already recognized the item in the jade bottle. Then, he looked at He Quanxin in disbelief and doubt.
"Father, these are Energy Golden Elixirs. They were all sent by Yiming." He Quanxin hesitated and said, "From Yiming's tone, it seems that there are some similar Golden Elixirs on him."
He Wude nodded heavily. Although there were only three Golden Elixirs in the jade bottle, he knew their value. If used well, the strength of the family could be greatly improved.
"That's right. With these Golden Elixirs, Yitian is indeed no problem. But Yitian just got married last year. If he takes in concubines now, I'm afraid it will not look good on the Cheng Family's face. "
He Quanxin said loudly, "Father, you can tell the in-laws what happened when we went to the Yuan Family. I believe they will understand."
He Wude thought for a moment and finally nodded silently. If he was in their shoes, he would have made the same choice.
"Quanxin, what happened to the woman who followed Yiming?"
"I don't know." He Quanxin smiled bitterly and said, "I only know their origins and names. But Yiming personally agreed to it."
"Yiming again?" He Wude asked in surprise.
"Yes."
He Wude was silent for a long time. Finally, he sighed and said, "Yiming has finally grown up. He has also started to speak his own voice."
He Quanxin lowered his head and sighed in his heart. He did not expect that among the third generation of the He Family, the first to speak his own voice to the elders was not the eldest son, He Yitian, but the sixth son, Yiming.
"Later, call Quanming, Quanyi, Yitian, and Yiming over here. Call the two women over as well." He Wude said in a low voice, "Since Yiming has taken in that woman, then we should give him some family property."

"Sixth Brother, you are really amazing." In He Yiming's room, He Yitao said with a face full of light, "You are indeed a Connate expert. You are not human."
He Yiming rolled his eyes. He did not know whether this sentence was praising him or insulting him.
Following closely behind He Yitian was the youngest of the third generation of the He Family, He Yitao.
After He Yiming became a Connate expert and returned to the He Family Manor with a strong smell of blood, he immediately used the excuse of seclusion to avoid everyone's strange gazes.
He Yitao had wanted to find Sixth Brother many times to find out about the battle at the Xu Family Fortress, but under He Quanyi's gaze, he could not fulfill his long-cherished wish.
This time, when He Yitian returned, he immediately took advantage of the opportunity to follow him. He Quanyi could only shake his head and sigh bitterly. He had been careful all his life, but his son was as naughty as a monkey and difficult to restrain. He was really helpless.
"Sixth Brother, tell me, how did you do it? You killed two thousand people with one strike. You killed eighty percent of the four thousand people, and not even twenty percent escaped." He Yitao's eyes sparkled, as bright as the stars. "Did they just stand there and wait for you to kill them?"
He Yiming was slightly startled and said, "Yitao, what are you talking about? Where did you hear this nonsense from? "
He Yitao said innocently, "Sixth Brother, these were all said by the servants in the family. They had all participated in that battle with Grandfather. They said that you killed two thousand people at the back of the horse bandits with one strike, and then killed more than half of the remaining people with one strike. Then, these horse bandits all knelt down and begged for mercy. You were kind and merciful, so you spared their lives. "
He Yiming opened his mouth wide. Although he was already a top Connate expert, after hearing this exaggerated battle record, he still could not help but feel his scalp go numb.
He looked at his eldest brother and saw that He Yitian's face was also full of curiosity. He quietly looked at him, as if he wanted to hear his explanation.
He Yiming let out a long sigh and said, "Eldest Brother, Yitao is still young, so I have nothing to say. But will you believe it?"
He Yitian hesitated for a moment and said, "If it was someone else's legend, I might not believe it. But for Sixth Brother, I don't dare to say."
Indeed, he had witnessed too many miracles from his Sixth Brother. After experiencing countless accidents, he had a strange feeling in his heart.
That was, no matter what happened to his Sixth Brother, it seemed to be possible.
Including the magnificent feat of killing two thousand people with one strike. If it happened to someone else, He Yitian would definitely scoff at it. But if it was his Sixth Brother …
Even if his rationality told him that it was impossible. But in his heart, he was still half-believing and half-doubting.
He Yiming felt two pairs of eyes full of expectation, and finally, he was completely speechless.
He shook his head and suddenly felt as if there was a heavy burden on his body. The people around him believed in him so much that they simply treated him as an omnipotent God. This made him feel touched, but at the same time, he was also a little nervous. If one day, he failed to live up to their expectations, how disappointed would they be?
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, he immediately suppressed it.
After going through so many hardships, Ou Yangming's mind was as firm as a boulder. To him, a moment of absent-mindedness was like a wave under a pillar that supported the sky. It disappeared in the blink of an eye, and it did not pose a threat to him at all.
"Big Brother, Yitao, I can honestly tell you that it's just a rumor." He Yiming expressed in a deep voice, "Nobody can kill two thousand cultivators with one strike because it's definitely not something that can be done by human power."
When He Yiming said this, he suddenly had a question in his mind.
Back then, when he performed the slash, he had already done his best. It could be said that he had unleashed all of his power to barely release rain-like saber-lights that covered the 200-men square formation.
If the 200 people had not formed a neat square formation and were not densely packed in a small area, they would not have been spread out. If that was the case, then it was absolutely impossible for his saber to create such an unbelievably powerful aura.
If it was another occasion, it would be impossible to kill 200 people with one slash.
In a way, the slash's mightiness had probably become extinct from then on.
Despite that, he vaguely had a terrifying thought.
If his movements were a little faster, if his Genuine Qi was a little stronger, if his figure really blended into the mountain rain, then would he be able to envelop the entire mountain in one strike?
If he had really reached that state, not to mention 2,000 people, even 20,000 people would not have been able to withstand the incredibly mighty slash.
Needless to say, the thought was too crazy, so even Ou Yangming had only imagined it.
How could the power of a human be compared to the power of nature? Only those lunatics who overestimated their own capabilities would have such thoughts.
He Yitao and He Yitao looked at each other. They noticed that He Yiming was at a loss all of a sudden, and they could not help but find it strange.
"Sixth Brother, what are you thinking about?"
He Yiming seemed to have woken up from a dream, and he smiled awkwardly. "It's nothing, I just thought of a problem with a move, and I was a little obsessed with it."
He Yitian and his brother both sighed endlessly. It was likely that only this kind of mentality, which always placed the Martial Skill Dao first, could create such an inconceivably strong person.
"Sixth Brother, so you didn't kill 2,000 people with one slash," He Yitao said, rather disappointed.
He Yiming responded snappily, "Yitao, you should be more realistic. 2,000 people with one slash? What will you do in the future? Even if it's wheat, you won't be able to cut 2,000 people with one slash. "
At this point, a thought flashed across Ou Yangming's mind. He slapped his thigh and said, "I understand."
He Yitao asked in confusion, "What do you understand?"
He Yiming turned around and asked with certainty, "Big Brother, you still remember Lu Xinwen, right?"
"Of course."
"Rumor has it that this person is from a thousand-year-old aristocratic family, the Bloody Butcher. He has killed countless people, so he is called the Bloody Butcher." He Yiming smiled bitterly. "What do you mean by killed countless people? How can he kill thousands of people who are fleeing in all directions? This is simply misleading people with lies. "
He Yitao exclaimed in surprise, and then he felt relieved.
Although this was just a guess, as long as one looked at He Yiming's treatment at the moment, one could infer that it was not far from the mark.
Although a Xiantian expert was powerful, if everyone were to flee in all directions, how many people would he be able to kill with only his hands and feet?
Suddenly, a gentle and powerful voice came from outside the door. "Yiming, Yitao, come out with me. Father has orders for you."
He Yiming and He Yitao immediately stood up. As for He Yitao, he shrunk his neck and slipped into He Yiming's inner room, not daring to show his head.
He Yiming and He Yitao looked at each other and smiled. When facing Third Uncle, He Yitao was indeed as fearful as a tiger. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please go to www.qidian.com, there are more chapters. Support the author, support the original reading!)
