Saint Ancestor of All Demons
Chapter 23: Bear the burden silently
Zhao Mu was also rescued by Xiang Heng and brought back to the Xia family.
However, he was seriously injured and has not recovered yet, and is still recovering from his injuries.
"No need, Uncle Mu, let them talk. If they say a few words, I won't lose a ounce of meat."
Xiang Chen said with a faint smile. Zhao Mu admired this kind of character. If it were any other young man, he would have been unable to bear being scolded like this.
It seems that the changes that happened in the Xiang family have made the second young master grow up a lot.
Zhao Mu thought in his mind.
At this time, the insults outside suddenly faded away, and a voice came from outside.
"Chen'er, open the door, it's me."
Xiang Chen was naturally familiar with this calm and strong voice, so he quickly asked Man He to open the door.
The courtyard door opened wide, and a burly man in black robe walked in, followed by a little girl of six or seven years old.
"Third uncle!"
Xiang Chen came forward and bowed respectfully to the visitor.
The person who came was none other than Xiang Heng, Xiang Chen's third uncle, his father's brother.
"Third Master." Zhao Mu also bowed respectfully.
"You can already walk on the ground?" Xiang Heng looked at Xiang Chen and asked in surprise.
"I have strong recovery power and the injury is no longer serious." Xiang Chen said with a smile.
"It's amazing your resilience. I heard that you have a special constitution since you were a child and you have a strong resilience. I didn't expect you to recover from such a serious injury in just a few days." Xiang Heng exclaimed.
"Brother Chen." Behind Xiang Heng, a six or seven-year-old girl stuck her head out and called out sweetly.
The girl has two braids, a small red cotton-padded jacket, a chubby face with baby fat, and a pair of big, clear and smart eyes.
"Xue'er, come here, brother, give me a hug." Xiang Chen knelt down, picked up the little girl, and kissed her little face.
His third uncle's daughter, Xia Xueer.
"Come on, let's go inside and talk." Xiang Heng said.
"Yes." Xiang Chen hugged Xue'er and entered the room with Xiang Heng to sit down while Man He went to serve tea.
"How is it? Are you still used to coming to Xia's house?" Xiang Heng asked.
"Everything is fine, Third Uncle. It's all thanks to you this time, otherwise I might have died at the hands of the Wang family." Xiang Chen hugged Xue'er and sat on his lap.
He knew that he had turned into a monster, but he did not remember what happened after he turned into a monster, and his sanity was corrupted.
"The Wang family... I have heard about Rou'er. It's a pity that I couldn't find her body." Xiang Heng sighed: "I heard that there was a demon at that time, and it might be the demon... Sigh"
Xiang Chen said: "Third uncle, you don't have to blame yourself. Maybe this is fate."
"I got news that you went to the Wang family and defeated Wang Ying by yourself. Is it true? Can you practice?" Xiang Heng asked hopefully.
Xiang Chen didn't hide anything and nodded.
"Hahahaha, okay, okay!" Xiang Heng laughed excitedly and said: "I know how my eldest brother's son can be a waste, Chen'er, as long as you live and can practice, then everything in our Xiang family will be restored. has hope."
"Third uncle, do you know the specific situation of my father now? Is he still alive?" Xiang Chen asked.
Xiang Heng's smile subsided, his expression gloomy, and he said: "The eldest brother is now locked up in the sky prison. His life is not in danger. However, it is impossible for the royal family to let the eldest brother out."
Xiang Chen's voice was also cold as he said: "Our Xiang family has made so many military exploits for Great Shang. Is it possible that the emperor is going to deal with my father because of his drunken and sexual promiscuity? Is there something more hidden in this?"
"Yes, there are indeed a lot of secrets involved in this. Before the accident, your father's cultivation level had greatly improved. I am afraid that there are no rivals in the entire Dachang. The eldest brother has a large number of troops. Naturally, the royal family will not allow such an existence to threaten the royal family. Jiu What happened next is nothing more than a conspiracy."
Xiang Heng said coldly.
"The royal family... the Yin family..." Xiang Chen's eyes were cold and his voice was cold. He didn't have the slightest respect for this royal family.
"Now, it's time to tell you some secrets. Your eldest brother, Xiang Que, is not his son."
Xiang Heng said another shocking fact.
"What!" Xiang Chen was shocked when he heard this and couldn't believe it.
"Lin Lian, that bitch, had a shady relationship with the man in the court before she married eldest brother. She was just a pawn arranged by that man to be around eldest brother. Do you understand?" Xiang Heng said.
"The one in the court! Emperor Shang, you are saying that Xiang Que is of the royal family!" Xiang Chen said in shock.
"That's right, the eldest brother has actually known this for a long time, but he just didn't reveal it. In the final analysis, the eldest brother is too emotional and treats Emperor Shang as a brother. He remembers the feeling of sworn sworn love at the beginning and has no intention of coveting the imperial power. However, Emperor Shang But I don’t miss this feeling, alas..."
Xiang Heng let out a long sigh: "If the eldest brother wanted to rebel, the world of today's great merchants might already have the surname Xiang, but the eldest brother doesn't want the people to suffer from the war."
"Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. A tiger is harmless to a person, but a tiger can hurt others. Since ancient times, careerists have always put profits first." Xiang Chen also sighed, and he did not blame his father.
"Chen'er, remember the burden you are carrying now. The third uncle is bound by the Xia family. Now it is impossible for him to return to the Xiang family to take charge of the situation. The future of the Xiang family will probably be instigated by you. Your ability to practice is the greatest hope."
As Xiang Heng spoke, a silver jade belt appeared in his hand and said: "There are one hundred thousand gold coins in it. Take it and use it. Cultivation is the most expensive thing."
"Third uncle, this is too valuable. I can't take it. You can keep it and give it to Xue'er later." Xiang Chen shook his head and was moved.
An ordinary family only earns seven or eight gold coins a year. One hundred thousand gold coins is a huge amount of wealth, enough to make a family wealthy for three generations.
As for the belt, it was forged by the tattoo master with silver empty jade. The jade has its own space, which can be opened by leaving a seal with true energy. An empty jade belt is also valuable.
"Brother Chen, please accept it, Xue'er doesn't want it." Xue'er said in Xiang Chen's arms.
"Chen'er, you, my uncle and my nephew, don't talk about that. As long as you can revive the Xiang family in the future, one hundred thousand gold coins is nothing."
Xiang Heng insisted on letting Xiang Chen accept it, but Xiang Chen refused and had no choice but to accept it. Now he is indeed penniless.
"In the Xia family, you will definitely endure some anger, but those who achieve great things learn to be flexible and flexible, so don't worry about it."
"I know."
The uncle and nephew talked a lot, and it was getting late before Xiang Heng and Xue'er left.
Xiang Chen sent Xiang Heng away, holding the silver jade belt in his hand, his heart heavy. This jade belt also entrusted a heavy responsibility, and it was the sustenance of a family's future destiny.
"Third uncle, don't worry, Chen'er will definitely not let you down..." Xiang Chen held the belt and put it on his waist, his eyes extremely firm.
He still doesn't know what price Xiang Heng paid for him to stay in the Xia family safely.
Sometimes, we don’t know that in a stable life, there are people who are secretly carrying the burden for us. In the prosperous times, there are always people who are carrying the burden for you...
