Chapter 5 Homecoming
Year after year passed, Chen Wei was twelve years old, and Neville was seven years old. During the year, the Earl also made his own decision.
Starting next year, Raymond decided to personally teach Neville martial arts and teach Neville's family to inherit the fighting spirit. Because Neville's fighting qi in his body is the same as Raymond's, it is also an earth attribute.
Generally speaking, as long as it is not like Chen Wei and Na Jian, new elements are produced after the elements are mixed, and the elemental attributes in the family are roughly the same. That's why Raymond taught Neville.
Chen Wei is poison, and Na Jian is ice. This is exactly like Na Jian has been studying in other places for more than ten years. Because what Raymond can teach Na Jian is only some family heirloom martial arts, and as for fighting spirit, there is no other way at all.
For Chen Wei, on a dark and windy night, he quietly left the imperial capital and went to the Rollin family's clan, the windmill town in the giant rock mountains in the south of the empire. Externally, it was claimed that it was to train Chen Wei and send Chen Wei back to the clan to take care of the family property.
In fact, Chen Wei understands very well: he has been assigned.
Taking care of the family business? That's just a joke. Everyone knows that the family's important business is in the imperial capital! In the political center of this empire! And those estates of the family domain...... Those farmlands? Those farmers? And what taxes? All you need to do is send a few butlers!
Look at the surrounding environment and how much farmland can be planted.
Fiery red clouds flutter in the sky, and the summer evening arrives. A beautiful carriage is slowly moving forward on the national highway, the dignified and noble black body, as well as the exquisite carvings on the carriage, and the gold patterns, all show the noble identity of the owner of this carriage.
In the front and rear of the carriage, there were ten knights of the guard wearing light armor, riding horses, hanging knights' swords, the armor on their bodies was polished, and the weapons were bright, but what did not match this beautiful outfit was that these knights all looked dejected.
Tashi bit a grass root with a boring mouth in his mouth and sat quietly beside the coachman, glanced at the sky, then sighed deeply, turned around and leaned down to knock on the window of the carriage: "Young Master Chenwei, are we looking for a place to rest, the sky is a little dark." ”
Inside the carriage, Chen Wei's cultivation also stopped, and he opened the window and looked at the sunset. He said, "Okay! ”
Tashi had just responded to Chenwei when a knight of the family guard in light armor came on horseback panting and said loudly, "Lord Steward, there are small towns ahead, it seems that this is the only place we can choose to rest tonight." ”
Tashi modestly replied to the guards: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, you are too polite." The young master has already spoken, so let's take a rest in front today. ”
"Yes, the young master has an order, and we should obey it. Brothers, hurry up your pace, we're in the town ahead tonight. The guard shouted loudly to the soldiers in the rear.
This time, there was only so many guards who followed Chen Wei back to his hometown, but a few guards plus the head of the part-time groom, such a lineup is too shabby.
For example, those nobles in the imperial capital, a random baron travels, how can there be fifty or sixty people in this car, which is much stronger than Chen Wei.
And these two dozen or so guards were also 'carefully selected' by the family.
Everyone knows that Chen Wei has completely fallen out of favor and was guarded by Bian to guard his ancestral land. The future is bleak. Everyone is utilitarian, everyone wants to stay in the prosperous imperial capital, and no one wants to follow a waste-like master back to the poor countryside to live a mediocre life.
Especially the knights. Who doesn't want to stay in the imperial capital, stay by the earl's side, maybe in the future with their martial arts to get the earl's favor and soar! Therefore, when it was arranged to return to his hometown with Young Master Chen Wei, everyone couldn't avoid this errand. No knight would want to waste his best days with a master of a nest going back to his hometown to look after the farmers!
As a result, the twenty knights who were finally selected were undoubtedly a group of unlucky ghosts. Either they are inferior in martial arts and are overwhelmed, or they are withdrawn in their daily lives, disliked or excluded by their colleagues, or they are young and ignorant and simple-minded and easy to coax.
Looking at the young knight in front of him, Tashi had already made a conclusion about this young man: he was probably the kind of guy who was withdrawn and was not liked by his colleagues and was ostracized. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so polite to himself, after all, no matter what? It is an indisputable fact that Chen Wei is the son of the earl. In the future, their lives will also be tightly pressed on Chen Wei's hands.
Maybe in the eyes of others, Chen Wei is an idiot. But since that incident five years ago, Tashi has known that his little master is not an idiot at all, on the contrary, he is smarter than anyone else.
The reason why Count Raymond put Chen Wei back into the clan land was because Chen Wei was too smart, and his cleverness made Raymond a little scared.
Of course, the only people in the entire team who can still be leisurely are Chen Wei and Tashi.
Although Chen Wei was assigned, he never complained. As for Tashi, the former groom and the current manager, his mentality is very good, at least he can comfort himself, whether it is the distribution or the situation, his current situation is much better than the previous groom. There are a few more gold coins in my arms every month. What's so upset about that?
Touching the gold coin in his arms, Tashi smiled unconsciously. I heard that the old manager of the Rollin family said that the girl here in Windmill Town is white and pure, Si Swenwen, maybe I can marry one here so that I can start a family. Not bad, that's good.
The convoy slowly moved forward, and not long after, Chen Wei and his party came to the only tavern in the town.
Chen Wei's team had just stopped its footsteps, and the noise came to Chen Wei's ears from the outside world.
"Noble, look, it's a noble lord!"
"Ah, really! How could a noble lord come to such a small place as Boulder Town! Guess what they're here for? ”
"What else could there be! Passing, of course. Is there any other possibility? Is it possible, do you think people have taken a fancy to you? My little darling. A rugged man laughed at a scantily clad woman in his arms. Ignoring the arrival of Chen Wei and others.
The woman also let out a slight laugh at this, and smiled at the man: "Oh, dead ghost, look at what you said, am I so unattractive, old lady?" You know, the old lady is only thirty years old this year, maybe! People like me! ”
"Hey, hey, yes, yes. You're still attractive, my darling, but how could I like you, otherwise? My baby. As he spoke, the big man touched the woman's chest with both hands, and a smile appeared on his face.
Listening to the other party's words, what was the guard beside Chen Wei originally planning to say? Chen Wei immediately stopped him, shook his head and said, "Forget it, it's better to have more than less, let's go!" ”
"Yes, young master." The guard nodded at Chen Wei in reply.
But Chenwei's concession was exchanged for the other party's pressure.
"Ouch, little brother, is my sister so unsightly in your brother's eyes? What do you think? Would you like to have a drink with my sister? Sister, I will love you well. The leaky woman left the rough man behind and walked towards Chen Wei.
His hands were on Chen Wei's shoulders, and there was a hint of fragrance on his body. It's just that these aromas are so disgusting to Chen Wei.
"Let go of your hands." Before Chen Wei could react, Tashi, who was Chen Wei's most faithful servant, stepped out and left the woman's hands off Chen Wei's body.
"Don't you even see who you are? With your appearance, even I, Tashi, can't look down on you, and I still want to find our young master. Tashi bowed his hand respectfully to Chenwei, and then scolded the woman.
"Oops, I'm not alive anymore. Terry, look at it, he dares to scold me casually, Terry, isn't it kind enough for me to go up and say hello? The woman ran to the rough man beside her with tears and beat on the other's chest.
"Don't, don't, don't worry! Baby, see me avenge you, it's okay to hurt me, but if I hurt your little hands, it's not worth it! Terry grabbed the woman's hands and stroked them continuously.
"Let's go!" Looking at the other party's appearance, Chen Wei directly felt a disgusting breath coming out from the bottom, directly hitting his chest, and he didn't want to pay attention to the other party.
Just as Chen Wei and the others were about to leave here, the man shouted: "What? Did I say you can leave now? Do you think that if you offend my baby, you can leave here in the open? ”
"Your Excellency, what do you mean by that?" Before Chen Wei could speak, Tashi immediately read aloud to Terry.
"What do you mean? That's what it means? With a snap, Terry picked up his big sword and slashed it at the table, splitting it in half.
Chen Wei, who had been silent, also shifted his gaze to the other party at this time. A gentle voice also came out of Chen Wei's mouth.
"Are you trying to make trouble?"
Terry smiled, "What? Did you know that? Gremlin. ”
The whole occasion immediately fell silent. The sound of ticking tea was clearly reflected in everyone's ears.
