Chapter 004 Cheng Sizheng and Cheng regret

The Huanlu clan was inherited from an earl noble in the imperial capital more than a thousand years ago. The surname Huanlu was a title given to this male count by the imperial royal family. Later, the earl noble was expelled from the imperial capital because he violated the imperial precepts. Since then, the people scattered from the noble family have blossomed in the empire and taken Huanlu as the inherited surname. Gradually, the original title Huanlu also evolved into a surname in the empire, but the number is not large.

The Huanlu clan where Huanlu Kanger is located is not the direct descendant of the earl noble, but with the efforts of several generations of ancestors, it gradually caught up with the footsteps of that earl. Even in the generation of Huanlu Zhengxiong, it also obtained the title of earl recognized by the empire. Although it was not a title that has been passed down from generation to generation, it was also a very popular aristocrat.

It’s a pity that the good luck of the Huanlu clan ended in the generation of the Huanlu Zhengxiong. It was also a force from the imperial capital that completely destroyed the path of the Huanlu clan's development. Even from that time on, the Huanlu clan was worse than the previous generation. Until today, more than 40 people in the clan have not even appeared at the fifth level or above the real person realm!

What puzzled the people of the Huanlu clan the most was that the Huanlu clan was that the Huanlu clan was a clan that had appeared in the earl nobles. There were records of clan development in the clan, but the record of the sudden family decline of the generation of the Huanlu Zhengxiong was missing. It was as if this period of history was deliberately concealed, and no even a trace could be found.

At the beginning, there were still people in the Huanlu clan who investigated the cause and effect of the matter. However, after several deaths, the tribes of the Huanlu clan understood that someone was secretly obstructing them from investigating the truth!

What is particularly scary is that almost all the people of the Huanlu clan, who are the same generation as Huanlu Zhengxiong, were massacred, and no even a little written record was left.

History has inexplicably broken down, and the Huanlu clan, which should have been completely wiped out by the other party, has also been magically preserved. It seems that in addition to someone attacking the Huanlu clan, there is also a mysterious force that is checking and balancing the other party's standards and retaining the bloodline inheritance of the Huanlu clan.

In short, although the Huanlu clan, which is still in Chaoyang City, is a descendant of Huanlu Zhengxiong, he is confused about everything that happened to Huanlu Zhengxiong and does not know what is so-called.

When Huanlu Kanger took over the Huanlu clan, as the patriarch of the Huanlu clan, he even knew that he had a great-great-great-grandfather who had been the chief magistrate. This great-great-grandfather who had been the chief magistrate was called Huanlu Zhengxiong, and he was an earl noble!

Apart from these pitiful information, he didn't know any other information at all. He only knew that no one believed the nonsense he said, because in the city government office database of Chaoyang City, there was no information about the chief officials of the Huanlu clan, let alone the Earl Noble.

Although some of the words passed down from the market can help the members of the Huanlu clan restore the truth, since the tragic deaths of the tribes have occurred continuously, the descendants of the Huanlu clan have completely given up their plan to investigate the truth.

After a while, things gradually faded. Even the patriarch Huanlu Kanger, at most, would yell a few words when he was drunk, "My great-great-grandfather is the chief magistrate of Chaoyang City." When he was sober, he would never mention these things himself.

Because even if he stood on the street and patted his chest and sweared with his personality, he would only be regarded as a crazy man with a brain, and would never believe what he said.

Over time, things faded and memories dimmed until now.

Huanlu Kanger took Ma Sunhui to walk around the streets and alleys. After walking for more than twenty minutes, he arrived at the remote location near the city wall in the west of Chaoyang City. He pointed to a dilapidated courtyard in front of the left, and his face clearly showed an awkward and cramped look. He lowered his head and rubbed his hands and said, "Great-grandfather, this is...this is here."

Gang Ye told Ma Yunhui that as the clan where the chief magistrate was, the Huanlu clan was so magnificent. Although it was not as large as any courtyard in Tianhe City, it was also a very luxurious expression in a place like Habaglu.

Unexpectedly, more than three hundred years have passed, and the Huanlu clan that was so powerful that the whole city has fallen to a state separated from the slums. I am afraid that if you are not careful, the Huanlu clan will truly disappear!

Looking in the direction pointed by Huanlu Kanger, Ma Yunhui nodded without changing his face and said, "Let's lead the way."

"Please, great-grandfather, uncle." Huanlu Kanger restrained the embarrassment on his face, tried his best to pretend to be serious, and slightly owed his body to lead his hand forward, but invisibly he showed a kind of servile look.

Ma Yunhui saw all this, but he followed Huanlu Kanger quietly and walked into the current courtyard of the Huanlu clan. As soon as he entered the door, he almost smelled an extremely pungent smell.

At this time, Huanlu Kanger turned around and said dryly: "I made my great-grandfather and uncle laugh. The income source in the clan is getting weaker and I have to find another way. The women in the yard are dyeing cloth, and there is also a small pharmacy inside, which is boiling medicine."

"There is no shame in self-reliance, and you don't need to think too much." Ma Yunhui nodded softly and said, "Go in and find a quiet room. I have something to ask you."

"Okay, great-grandfather, please come with me." Huanlu Kanger nodded and responded, and continued to walk towards a room not far away with Ma Sunhui. Halfway through the way, a woman in her forties dressed in linen clothes walked out of the room with a basket of medicinal herbs. When she saw Huanlu Kanger, she was obviously stunned.

"Master, you are not staying at the city gate at this time, what are you going home to do?" The woman's figure is slightly bloated, but her hands are covered with calluses. However, she also means that she is not a pampered woman, but a woman who carries out housework.

Hearing the woman's inquiry, Huanlu Kanger did not answer her question, but turned his head to introduce to Ma Yunhui: "Great-grandfather, this is my inner friend, Tang Cuixia."

Ma Yunhui nodded slightly and gave the other party a kind smile.

After introducing Tang Cuixia, Huanlu Kanger immediately said to Tang Cuixia: "Cuixia, this is the disciple of our great-great-great-grandfather of our Huanlu clan and our great-grandfather. He is a martial arts master of Lu Tianjing. Why don't you treat him?"

"Ah?" Tang Cuixia, who was holding a basket of medicinal herbs in her arms, was stunned. After five seconds of loss of consciousness, she quickly put down the medicinal herbs in her hand and bowed to Ma Yunhui, "I am a careless concubine Tang Cuixiang, please pay my respects to my great-grandfather and uncle."

"You go down and do your business." Ma Yunhui accepted the other party's greetings and nodded, "Kanger and I have something to say... By the way, you will call back all the members of the Huanlu clan now. I have another order."

Obviously, Ma Yunhui has now regarded himself as their great-grandfather and uncle and has completely entered this role.

However, after Tang Cuixia gave her a bow, a look of suspicion flashed across her face. In fact, the reason why she felt suspicious was very simple. Ma Yunhui looked really too young! Is this person a great-grandfather uncle?

With this layer of suspicion in my heart, my reaction will naturally be half a beat slower. But after seeing Ma Yunhui's majestic Huanlu Kanger, he winked at Tang Cuixia, with a faint smell of blame.

After realizing the look of her husband, Tang Cuixia reacted and quickly responded: "Great-grandfather, please rest assured. Before you and the head of the family come out, the concubine must arrange everything!"

"Okay, okay, you go down and do things quickly." Huanlu Kanger was afraid that his wife's performance would arouse Ma Yunhui's dissatisfaction. After seeing her nodding, he hurriedly sent Tang Cuixia away.

More than half a minute later, Ma Yunhui and Huanlu Kanger entered a room in the Huanlu clan courtyard. After sitting down, Ma Yunhui said to Huanlu Kanger: "Are you still worried about my identity?"

"Ah?" Huanlu Kanger, who was about to get up and pour tea for Ma Yunhui, was startled. He shook his head and denied: "No, why would I doubt the identity of my great-grandfather and uncle... You misunderstood, you misunderstood..."

"It's okay, it's right to have doubts." Ma Yunhui smiled indifferently and said, "I'll ask you if there is any record in the genealogy of the Huanlu clan. Under the knees of your great-great-grandfather, Huanlu Zhengxiong, there is a daughter named Lianheng Miaoxin, named Lianheng?"

"This... the elder's name does exist in the genealogy, but..." Huanlu Kanger felt a little nervous. After he hesitating for more than ten seconds, he carefully stood up and asked, "But I don't know if my great-grandfather and uncle are..."

"Liheng Miaoxin is my master's wife." Ma Yunhui said calmly: "She is my master's wife."

"Ah?!" Huanlu Kanger was truly stunned. He almost blurted out: "Is your master, Cheng Sizheng, who abandoned his wife?"

"What? Cheng Sizheng?" Ma Yunhui was also stunned, "It's true that he abandoned his wife and children, but you are sure that the name recorded in the genealogy is Cheng Sizheng, not Cheng..."

"Cough cough!" Before Ma Yunhui could say it, Gang Ye coughed twice in his mind, and then explained with some embarrassment: "That, boy Ma, Cheng Si was the pseudonym I used back then..."

"..." Ma Yunhui immediately closed his mouth, his face a little bit dry. This Gang Master is really messing around. He even gave birth to his child, but he actually used a pseudonym!

Under Huanlu Kanger's confused eyes, Ma Yunhui also coughed softly and covered him up, "Cough, oh, I remembered it wrongly. My master is indeed called Cheng Sizheng. The name he changed later, and was called Cheng Houhui."

"Chen regrets?" Gang Ye and Huanlu Kanger repeated the name Ma Yunhui almost at the same time. Huanlu Kanger blinked and said, "I wonder why the great-grandfather and uncle's master gave such a name?"

"It should be repenting the original decision." Ma Yunhui shook his head and sighed, saying, "Okay, let's not discuss this issue for now. This trip to Chaoyang City was mainly entrusted by my master to take a look at the situation of the Huanlu clan. If possible, I will provide appropriate assistance to you, but the step you can go depends on your own efforts... Uh, what are you watching me do like this?!"

As he was talking, Ma Yunhui realized that Huanlu Kanger was looking at him with an extremely strange look. He couldn't help but glared at him with some anger and said, "Listen to me carefully!"

"Uh..." Huanlu Kanger was awakened at this moment. He hurriedly said, "Great-grandfather, is your master Cheng Si... no, it's Cheng regretting that he is still alive now?"

"What?" Ma Yoonghui frowned, "Is there anything wrong with this?"

"Yes, yes." Huanlu Kanger nodded quickly and said, "When my great-great-great-grandfather's aunt passed away, she left a very strange metal box, saying that only my great-grandfather's uncle, your master Cheng regrets it, and there are some things left inside, and I have to hand it over to your great-grandfather's uncle, your master to see!"

"Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Gre

"Is something here dropped?" Ma Yunhui said in confusion: "Do you know what it is?"

"How could I know." Huanlu Kanger smiled bitterly: "To be honest, when this metal box was passed down within the clan, several clan leaders wanted to open it, but without exception, they all ended in failure. They were also afraid that violently dismantling would destroy the things in the box, so they have been preserved until now."

"Where is the box now?" Ma Yunhui stood up and said, "Fang Buyi brings it to me?"

"...Of course." Huanlu Kanger hesitated for a moment, then nodded reluctantly, and then he said: "However, before I took the box, I dared to ask my great-grandfather and uncle a few questions..."

"You ask." Ma Yunhui nodded slightly, showing no sign of guilt.

Huanlu Kanger pondered for a moment and said, "When Lian Heng Miaoxin's great-great-great-grandfather and Cheng Hui's great-great-great-grandfather parted, the great-great-great-grandfather was already pregnant with the great-great-great-grandfather's child. When the two elders parted, did the great-great-great-grandfather leave a message saying how to settle his child?"

Ma Yunhui was stunned, and then he heard what Gang Ye said in his mind. He learned to say: "When my master and his master's wife separated, my master told my master's wife that when the child was born, he would ask him to follow the surname of his master. When the child grew up, he would teach him to practice well. One day, the child broke through to the Li Tian Jing, and asked him to find my master according to the way my master left behind."

"If this child cannot break through to Lu Tianjing, let him be a rich man and live his life peacefully."

"That's right." Huanlu Kanger immediately believed it seven minutes, and he couldn't help but nod and said, "In fact, the child born to the great-great-grandfather's aunt did not have one child, but two, one man and one woman!"

"Uh..." Ma Yunhui was stunned for a moment and asked quickly: "Then are the descendants of these two children still there?"

"We are all here, but we have moved to Luohe City." Huanlu Kanger nodded and said, "Their lives have not been satisfactory in recent years. A few days ago, the patriarch of the Lianheng clan came here for help. Unfortunately, our Huanlu clan itself is on the verge of being unsafe, and we are really unable to help the Lianheng clan again."

"Is this Lianheng clan the descendant of my master?" Ma Yunhui asked, "Is it the descendant of those two children?"

"Not all." Huanlu Kanger shook his head and said, "This is the descendant of the boy. The girl married to the imperial capital. According to the clan records, she was beaten and killed by her husband within two months after she got married."

"..." Ma Yunhui obviously noticed the murderous intent that Gang Ye showed. He quickly changed the subject and said, "So, what is the situation of the Lianheng clan now? How many tribesmen do what they do in Luohe City?"

"The situation of the Lianheng clan is also very bad now. There are about 70 tribe members. The clan leader is the boss of Luohecheng's family. After a major incident a few years ago, his family's wealth was basically compensated." Huanlu Kanger said: "Last time the clan leader came to contact me, he also mentioned that if there was no way, he could only send the children to work as long-term workers, which would be better than starving to death."

"..." It's hard for Ma Yunhui to imagine that the children born with such excellent genes and children have fallen to this point. Has there never been a promising one among so many generations of descendants?

He calmed down and said, "How far is Luohe City from Chaoyang City?"

"It's not far, only a hundred miles away. If you take a ride, you can reach Luohe City in one hour at most." Huanlu Kanger said.

"Okay, you can arrange someone to go to Luohe City immediately and call all the tribe members who can speak well in the Lianheng clan now!" Ma Yunhui stood up and said, "You are all people who have been in contact with my master. Don't worry, the dilemma of the two tribes will be solved soon. Why don't you go quickly?"

"Okay, okay, yes, yes..." Huanlu Kanger was overjoyed to receive such a promise from Ma Yunhui. He quickly stood up and nodded repeatedly: "I'll arrange someone to go to Luohe City and try to take them over within three hours! By the way... Great-grandfather, that box..."

"Let me send it here now." Ma Yunhui raised his hand and said, "It just so happened that I took this time to take a look at the things in the box first... Well, why are you standing here? Why don't you go quickly!"

"Okay, I'll go now, I'll go now, great-grandfather and uncle, please wait." Huanlu Kanger nodded and left the room, but did not notice the disappointment in Ma Yunhui's eyes.

I hope these people will not be all A Dou who can’t be helped!
