Shortly after Chen Xi entered Yangzhai in Yingchuan, Chen Liang, the prefect of Yangdi, came out to greet Chen Xi in person. By this time, Chen Liang and Chen Xi had undergone earth-shaking changes from when they first met a few years ago.
"It's been a long time, Taishou Chen." Chen Xi greeted Chen Liang. The roots of the Chen family in Yingchuan and the Xun family in Yingchuan were actually in Xu County, Yingyin, which would later be the capital of Xu during Cao Cao's time. Of course, this was also
The important reason why Cao Cao made Xu County his capital.
Although his hometown is in Xu County, Yingyin, his family is actually in Yangzhai. There is only the ancestral home in Xu County. To be honest, in Chen Xi's impression, he has only visited the ancestral home in Yingyin a handful of times, but now he can visit it anytime.
I could go, but unfortunately I have no interest in it.
"Marquis Chen has invited you." Chen Liang said respectfully. The young man in front of him held half of the power in the world. He was no longer the young man who was underestimated when he passed through Yangzhai. Since the rise of Liu Xuande, he has conquered the Central Plains.
Of all the people, this one is second to none.
"I haven't been back for a long time." Chen Xi looked at the city gate of Yangzhai. It was no different from when he left, but it was inexplicably smaller.
"This is Zichuan's hometown." Zhen Mi poked her head out of the car window and said, while Chen Yun and Chen Ying also looked curious. Chen Lan rarely showed a hint of pride, still remembering Chen Xi's promise when she was expelled from the Chen family.
.
"Yes, this is my husband's hometown where he has lived for more than ten years." Chen Lan said with a nostalgic look on her face, and gently nudged Chen Qian in her arms as she spoke.
Soon, the carriage arrived at the city gate. People from the Fan family, Chen family, and Xun family were all waiting at the door. Fan Jian, Chen Lan, and Zhen Mi also got off the carriage at this time.
"I haven't seen you for many years." Chen Xi looked at the vaguely remembered figures in front of him, bowed slightly, and saluted first. The people in front of him were the elders of the Chen family, and they were the surviving elders of Chen Shi's generation. "Excuse me.
The elders of the clan came to greet him, and Xi felt deeply uneasy."
"Okay, okay!" The old man who was leaning on crutches and trembling slightly did not say too many words, but the joyful look made Chen Xi's heart tremble slightly. Probably for these old people who are about to enter the grave,
All he wants is his own descendants.
Chen Xi naturally stretched out his hand and silently supported the other person, and his original memory gradually became clearer.
"That's enough. You are worth it if the Chen family can produce one. Originally, we all thought that long articles can shine in the world, but in the end..." The elder of the Chen family casually leaned his crutch against the wall, and then sat down by himself.
On the corners of the stone carvings at the door.
"He's not bad either, but this era is different from before." Chen Xi said with a smile.
"Yes, times have changed, but no matter what era, the most important thing is still here." The elder of the Chen family gasped slightly and pointed to his head, "You are more powerful than all of us, you can see everything
Far away, so the Chen family is yours."
"Actually, I don't need these. Everything I need, I will get it myself. The world will rotate with my wisdom, not for anyone, just for the direction I am chasing." Chen Xi showed a trace of his face.
proudly.
"Yes, for you, the world is shaped by you, just like in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the strength of a country was sometimes determined by one or two people." The elder of the Chen family had cloudy eyes.
There was a hint of realization in it.
"You are more terrifying than those heroes recorded in the Chen family's classics. You are indeed qualified to make the world center on you." The elder of the clan said with a nostalgic look on his face, "But if you are the center of the world, what about him?"
"I am different from them, and he is also different from his predecessors. I am just the guide of this era. We are taking an unprecedented road. In front of me there is only the glory of the end but no road under my feet, just like when we stepped towards
It's like an unknown wilderness." Chen Xi looked at Gao Tian, with a faint smile showing the confidence of looking down on the world.
"You were the one who educated us in the beginning." Chen Xi shook his silk robe casually and wiped it before sitting on the floor. "Looking back at the past journey of this family, even you have a sense of awe. We are still young.
, how can you not respect me?"
"Yes, the path of the ancestors was to defeat the barbarians, stabilize the people's hearts, establish the country, and serve as a barrier for China." The clan elder tremblingly recounted the past, and his cloudy eyes even reflected the luster of respect.
"I will go further than them, I am younger than them, I stand on their foundation, and I will surpass them." Chen Xi exhaled softly and narrated all this slowly, but it still came in like thunder.
into the other person's ears.
"I hope you can do it, but it's a pity that I can't see it anymore. The Chen family has experienced ups and downs several times. I hope you can do what you want to do." The elder of the Chen family slowly closed his eyes, "It's a pity, I can't see it.
It’s time for our thousand-year-old family to return to the path of our ancestors.”
Chen Xi was silent. This clan elder is Chen Shi's brother. He is already ninety-seven. Although he has led the Chen family and Xun family to the path of the ancestors' era, he is destined to be unable to see the other party.
I came here just to see him.
For such an old man who has lived for several generations, it is difficult for anyone to hide in the other's eyes. He just came to see how Chen Xi is doing and whether he can completely entrust his family to his family.
This does not mean that you have enough intelligence or ability. At Chen Xi's level, once there is turmoil, the danger of ruining the family is really not a joke. If a thousand-year-old family can survive, it will be very clear about the survival of the family.
Therefore, once it is found that Chen Xi is not enough to entrust the family, the Chen family would rather lose one of them than hand it over to Chen Xi. This is a matter of survival.
"If you succeed in taking this step in the future, remember to burn incense in the ancestral hall and let me know. I think the ancestors will also be proud of it." A smile appeared on Chen Jian's wrinkled face. The descendants of the Chen family can have such a person.
It's not easy anymore.
"Yes, I will." Chen Xi nodded and said. Although Chen Xi knew that having one less member of the Chen family or having one more member of the Chen family would not have much impact on him, in essence, this is a responsibility that a family member must bear, and it is also
It can be regarded as the ardent expectations of ancestors for future generations.
"You have been wasting a lot of your time by talking so much with me, a bad old man. So many people are still waiting for you. You can go and leave me alone." Chen Jian saw Chen Xi's calm expression and smiled at him.
Chen Xi waved his hand, saying this was enough.
[Master, what I am sending is not a meager force of the Chen family. I am asking you on behalf of those families that have been passed down for thousands of years. Maybe this force is not enough to fight you, but at least now
The Han Dynasty is still in the hands of the noble family.] Chen Jian closed his eyes and looked at the sun in the sky. This bright sun is the real power that makes the stars and the moon retreat.
