Xia Yan really knows why the "predecessor obsession" destroyed the Hong family.
Hong Buyi, mother and son, most likely died at the hands of people sent by Lord Bingfeng.
Coupled with the possible influence and indoctrination from his mother in the past, Hong Buyi's shape was distorted when he was dying, and he was bound to hate the entire Hong family.
Anyway, the mission is to "destroy the Hong family", just work hard in this direction.
Xia Yanzhen already has a plan in his heart, and he can implement it step by step when he waits for the imperial city.
This plan will be perfect.
In the afternoon of the next day, I finished the meal that was served.
Xia Yanzhen wandered around the courtyard, seeing countless pavilions and pavilions and winding corridors.
And even though it’s almost winter, the garden is still in full bloom.
The beautiful scenery of the garden is enough to make people feel happy.
After wandering around for a while, Xia Yanzhen found a pavilion to sit down, waiting for the various gossip information Tiamat brought back.
I don’t know if it’s true or not, but it will help us learn more about the situation.
Many of the housekeepers and servants in the other courtyard are "old men" of the Hong family.
He used to serve in the Hong family's mansion, but later when he got older, he went to a villa outside the city.
After all, the owner doesn't live here, so it's usually a little more relaxed.
These people are as well-informed as the inn waiters.
Tiamat learned that the current number one in the world is the current Holy Emperor, Emperor Tianqi.
It is now the fortieth year of Apocalypse. Emperor Apocalypse ascended the throne when he was twenty years old and has reigned for forty years.
With his strong strength, there will be no problem in reigning for another 40 years, and he can become a "seventy-year-old prince".
And the second best in the world is this forty-year-old prince.
The strength of the Tianwu Dynasty and the royal martial arts family can be seen clearly.
Among the four kilometers, normally, the strongest one should be Zhen Guogong.
But in fact, for a long time, all kinds of negative news about "Zhen Guo Gong" have never stopped.
It is said that Zhenguo Gong was actually granted the title to Lord Bingfeng.
It is also said that the Duke of Zhenguo was granted the title by the ancestors' glory and the Lord Bingfeng.
These are good, but more vicious speculations, saying that Hong Xuanwu is basically a green-haired turtle.
Basically, he is helping others raise their son.
He also raised a useless dove to occupy the magpie's nest, so he might as well recall his younger brother and let his two nephews inherit the Hong family.
"Where did you hear this news?" Xia Yanzhen asked.
Can the gossips of the master be passed on to the servants?
"The 'old men' here talk about how they were back then, and they get even better when they drink too much." Tiamat said, "We see that they are leisurely here, and they think they have been assigned."
"Heh." Xia Yanzhen smiled, "You continue to inquire and see if there are any internal conflicts within the family."
Just as Xia Yanzhen finished speaking, a guard led Butler Qin to find him.
Xia Yan really knew that as soon as he left the room in the past two days, someone would follow him, two people in the open and at least four people in the dark.
He didn't care, so he just followed.
"Master Yi, there is news from home, saying that I will send you home immediately." Butler Qin said.
"Leave now?" Xia Yanzhen stood up.
"The carriage is ready."
After going out, Xia Yanzhen looked at the carriage with an area of at least fifty square meters and raised his eyebrows slightly.
The horses pulling the cart also look quite extraordinary.
While its body is much taller than that of an ordinary horse, its four hooves have raised scales instead of hair, some of which look like crocodile skin.
Seeing Xia Yanzhen staring at the horses, Butler Qin immediately introduced: "These are E-scale horses. Each one is a good horse for thousands of miles. Only our Hong family can use it to pull carts."
His tone was full of pride, and the luxury of a well-established family was evident.
"Oh, how does it taste?" Xia Yanzhen asked.
"What?"
Butler Qin was stunned for a moment, unable to think straight.
"I'm asking, is it delicious?"
"Horses can't eat this," Butler Qin said.
During the Tianwu Dynasty, horses would be killed and eaten for their meat only when they were marching and fighting, and they had no choice.
Otherwise, killing horses and eating horse meat will be regarded as committing adultery.
"Can't I eat it?" Xia Yanzhen asked.
Butler Qin shook his head.
"But Butler Qin, didn't you say that my Hong family is the best in the world, and I am the second young master of the Hong family, and I can't even eat a piece of horse meat?"
Damn it - what is a super second generation ancestor?
Butler Qin's eyes widened and he wished he could sew Xia Yanzhen's mouth shut.
When did I say that the Hong family is number one in the world?
Can you say this casually?
Even if I accidentally made a mouthful while blowing, you can't say it in public like this!
"Master Yi, it's time for you to get in the car." Butler Qin immediately calmed down and looked solemn.
Suddenly, a different kind of aura emitted, and a huge pressure that would frighten ordinary people rushed over.
Steward Qin, one of the old stewards of the Hong family, a fourth-stage martial soul master in the soul-melting realm!
Martial spirit, black iron shield!
"Okay, if you don't want to eat, you won't eat. They said the Hong family is so powerful that they don't even have anything to eat." Xia Yanzhen said, "This car is so high, how am I going to get up there?"
The horse is big, the cart is big, the wheels are big, and the carriage is half a meter high from the ground.
The coachman immediately brought over wooden steps and put them in place to make it easier to get on and off the bus.
Xia Yanzhen did not go up, but stood on the spot and said: "I remember, shouldn't someone kneel down and let me step up?"
"Master Yi, how do you remember this?"
"How do I know? Either I have seen it or heard it, so I have an impression. Isn't this how you get on and off the carriage?" Xia Yanzhen took it for granted.
】
"Okay, come on." Butler Qin called a boy and knelt in the car.
Using the crest of his back as a step, Xia Yanzhen stepped onto the carriage.
"It's not stable at all. I won't do it anymore." After getting in the car, Xia Yanzhen said dissatisfiedly before entering the carriage.
Just as he entered, he opened the door and came out: "Isn't there a maid inside?"
"No."
"Our Hong family is not the world——"
"Let's go, let's go." Before Xia Yanzhen could say those treacherous words again, Butler Qin immediately interrupted.
The driver cracked his whip.
The E-scale horse suddenly started running.
Xia Yanzhen fell backwards and fell into the carriage, and his cursing voice could be heard going away.
Watching the carriage and the guards retreat, the flesh on Butler Qin's face twitched.
I didn't expect that the heir would be found with great difficulty.
After two days of silence and understanding of the situation, he suddenly transformed into a playboy and the second generation ancestor.
Forget about being a dandy.
Which of the wealthy families in the Imperial City has not produced several dandies?
Even Hong Yixian is a dandy, and one of the four pests of the imperial city.
But the problem is that those dudes grew up at home and were influenced by what they heard and saw, and at least they had some brains.
This Hong Buyi grew up elsewhere and suffered from apathy.
He is no longer a dandy, but a fool and a dandy! This is definitely not good news for the Hong family.
The big ones are useless, and the small ones are also useless.
Hong Xuanwu probably wouldn't be happy.
"Captain, you go to the Imperial City, what about me?" Tiamat asked in the team channel.
"You show some strength first, and then I will find an opportunity to take you under my command. From now on, you can be tyrannical in the imperial city." Xia Yanzhen said.
Tiamat's "old horse" is also a martial spirit master.
The kind who awakens his martial soul at the age of eighteen.
Four opportunities for awakening, at the age of five and ten, if the two awakenings do not rely on external objects, they are considered superior qualifications.
Theoretically, the most powerful divine soul realm can be reached.
Those who awaken at the age of eighteen have medium qualifications. Ninety-nine percent of martial soul masters will only reach the fourth stage of soul-embodied realm in their lifetime. A very small number of people can go one step further and reach the soul-melting realm due to adventures and miracles.
Tiamat's "old horse" has a spirit of a horse, and according to its category it is a "beast spirit".
Now we are in the second stage of physical fitness.
Xia Yan really looked for an opportunity and a reason to find him as his follower.
The two of them "encountered" each other once in another courtyard, so the groundwork was laid.
"Okay, then I will show off my extraordinary abilities a little bit," Tiamat said.
There are martial spirit masters who are late bloomers, and there are martial spirit masters who suddenly achieve enlightenment and soar into the sky.
It makes sense that his old horse suddenly turned over.
The E-scale horse started to trot, and the speed was not slow.
Xia Yanzhen originally thought that outside the imperial city was the suburbs.
Unexpectedly, after leaving the other courtyard and the "Hongjiazhuang" area, the surrounding area became lively.
Relying on the Imperial City, it is surrounded by various lively and even prosperous towns.
And it is not formed haphazardly and spontaneously, but has a unified plan.
What Luozhen, Hezhen?
Until we reached the foot of the Imperial City, we passed five bustling and lively towns.
At the foot of the real imperial city, a high gray-black wall stands, nearly a hundred meters high.
At a height of more than ten meters, a "gully" is specially "hollowed out" to form a battlement.
The soldiers were stationed and patrolling "within" the city walls, not on the walls.
The location where Xia Yanzhen entered the imperial city had five large and small gates in total.
One door in the middle is closed, two are in, and two are out.
There was an endless stream of pedestrians and horse-drawn carriages, queuing in and out.
There are no fees for entering and exiting the city, and the soldiers at the city gate are only responsible for maintaining order.
It looks like a prosperous dynasty.
Of course, there was no need to line up for the Hong family's carriage, as it passed directly through the crowd and entered the imperial city.
After entering the city, the carriage slowed down a bit.
It wasn't until the sunset, when the setting sun was like blood, stretching the shadows of people and things into distortions, that they arrived at Suzaku Street.
Zhuque Street is not a street, but an area.
It is a very large area, which can almost rival the imperial palace in total.
All the people living here are the high officials of the imperial court, princes and nobles.
The Hong family is both.
Naturally, it occupies a place in Zhuque Street, and the Huju Garden where I live is the second garden of the imperial city under the Imperial Garden.
Of course, what hangs on the plaque will not be "Huju Garden", but the two characters "Hongfu".
The main entrance is higher than the ground. You have to cross four steps to enter from the main entrance. You can see the threshold and the high level of the door.
Xia Yanzhen did not enter through the front door. The carriage entered through a side door that was not biased at all and stopped.
"Hong Buyi gets out of the car. Mistress wants to see you."
A cold and sinister voice sounded outside the carriage.
Xia Yanzhen opened the car door and saw a gray-haired old woman standing outside.
His eyes stared at him, like two hooks trying to pull out large chunks of flesh and blood from the human body.
