Chapter 16 Wanted Criminals
The sun has already set, and the night is narrow and deep, sandwiched by the blue brick horse head wall. However, today the hall of Hejiazhuang is brightly lit.
When He Yiming hurried to the hall, he realized that he was not the first to arrive.
It has been a whole month since he broke through the limit of the sixth level and advanced to the seventh level. However, during this period, he did not tell anyone about his situation, so the elders in the family thought that his cultivation was still at the sixth level.
Today, while practicing as usual, a servant came to report that the old owner of the manor called him to the hall of the village.
He Yiming did not dare to neglect and immediately rushed to the hall. However, he was not the first person to come here. Before him, his second and third brothers had already arrived.
He Yihai nodded slightly to Yiming and said, "Lao Liu, you are here too."
"Yes, hello, second brother." He Yiming nodded deeply. Although the second brother is the eldest uncle's son, there is not much difference in his attitude towards the younger brothers. To be honest, among the three generations of children, except for the bad relationship between the fifth brother He Yizhang and him, the rest of the brothers and sisters get along very well.
Of course, there are still some differences in the relationship between biological brothers, but it is not obvious in Hejiazhuang.
He Yihai nodded silently and immediately closed his mouth and stopped talking. However, He Yiming knew that this was the second brother's nature. If it weren't for the brother's affection, he wouldn't even say a word.
He moved to the third brother He Yixuan a few steps and asked whispered: "Three brother, what happened? Why are you all here?"
He Yixuan shrugged with a wry smile and said, "I don't know, but since grandpa personally ordered the summons, it shouldn't be a trivial matter."
He Yiming nodded slightly, just as he was about to speak, suddenly feeling something in his heart. He stopped and looked out of the hall.
A moment later, several people walked into the dim light outside the door.
After seeing these people, He Yiming and the other two immediately stood up. They straightened their chests and waists, showing an extremely energetic look.
The first one was He Wude who built Hejiazhuang. Behind him, the uncle He Quanxin and the third uncle He Quanyi were all among them. As for the remaining one, he was naturally He Yitian, who was called the first person in the three generations.
The three people in the hall were all surprised. What was going on? The old owner was so cautious that he almost summoned all the power that could be used in the village.
He Yiming glanced at the direction of the library. As far as he knew, in the village, in addition to his grandfather's direct children, there was also an old servant in the village whose cultivation level had reached the ninth level, and he was just around the corner of his uncle. This old servant seemed to have grown up with the old master since he was a child, and was far different from ordinary servants.
All along, this old servant lived with his uncle in the two side halls in the courtyard of the library. The treatment he enjoyed was no worse than that of his direct children.
Today, in Hejiazhuang, except for that special old servant, the other disciples whose internal strength has reached the sixth level have gathered together.
He Wude strode into the hall, then sat down in the main seat in the middle. His eyes were bright and he swept around everyone. Everyone who looked at him seemed to feel a scorching and strange feeling, and he immediately lowered his head without freedom.
He Yiming's heart trembled slightly. This is the peak internal strength of the tenth level, far from what he can compete with at present.
He lowered his eyes silently, and He Yiming was unwilling to attract any special attention.
"I asked you to come here, because there is something you want to do." He Wude was a little old, but his voice full of strength rang in the hall: "Today, a wanted criminal from the Cheng family came to our county town. They hoped that we could assist the government in capturing or killing this person."
He Yiming and his second brother and third brother looked at each other, and their hearts were full of emotion. After looking at the two elders and elder brothers, their faces were silent, and they had clearly known this matter a long time ago.
"The wanted criminal was a wanted criminal who flew from Linqiu County. He was named Hu Bin. He was a cultivator whose internal strength had reached the peak of the fifth level. He was said to have very good skills."
He Yiming immediately understood. No wonder grandpa agreed and summoned them all.
Although the internal strength cultivation of the fifth level is very good, the people here are at least sixth or above. If there are a few more helpers, you can definitely easily take down that person. This is actually a rare opportunity for the disciples of Hejiazhuang.
Otherwise, if they always work behind closed doors at home and have no practical experience, it will not be of much benefit to their future cultivation.
He Wude's eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light and said, "Don't underestimate you. Although Hu Bin only has five levels of cultivation, he is cruel and ruthless. In Linqiu County, he was originally a leader of a hundred people in the army. Because he committed the crime of rape and murder and the crime of killing the people, he was detained and waited for execution. However, he escaped from the army and killed people all the way until he came to us." He paused, his voice became a little more serious, and said, "Although he killed ordinary people, if he killed more people, he naturally had a bad spirit on his body. If you meet him, you must be careful and never be careless."
Everyone was shocked and answered in unison.
He Wude has always been a decisive old man. Once he made a decision, he immediately assigned him to lead several servants with internal strength cultivation to the third level, bring Hu Bin's portrait and go to several garrison sites.
He Yiming and others naturally had no objection, and they were even a little excited.
After practicing for so many years, they finally had the opportunity to show their skills, so of course they would not miss it.
After He Wude was assigned, he waved his hand and everyone except him and He Quanxin immediately took his servants to follow the envoy sent by the Cheng family.
When everyone dispersed, He Quanxin hesitated and said, "Dad, Yiming is only thirteen this year, and he has been promoted to the sixth level for less than a year. It seems too early to let him stand alone."
He Wude laughed in silence and said, "Quanxin, do you remember which location I asked Yiming to be responsible for?"
He Quanxin was stunned, thought for a while, and then immediately understood, and said, "I understand that Yiming is responsible for the area closest to the county town, and it is the main passage. Since Hu Bin escaped, it is naturally impossible to walk the passage openly, but to take a remote path, and it is impossible to fall into the county town. So Yiming is just going to show off this time."
He Wude nodded slightly and said, "Yes, you are right. Yiming's talent is the most outstanding among the brothers. I have high hopes for him, but it may not be a good thing to practice hard in the village. So letting him participate in it and feel the atmosphere will definitely be beneficial to his growth. As for Hu Bin, the three major families in the county took action and mobilized people from each village to participate in the search. Unless he escaped from the county first, there will definitely be no accidents."
He Quanxin nodded heavily and said, "Dad, you are considerate."
He Wude's face was full of spirit and said, "In addition to this, I asked Yiming to lead the team, and I also wanted the Xu and Cheng Er family to know that there is another genius cultivator in my He family. I look at the old foxes of the Xu family and the Cheng family, and I should understand who is the strongest family in Taicang County in the future."
Two days later, a servant came to the old man with the letter paper of the latest news sent by the Cheng family.
Since He Quanyi also took Zhuang Ding out, He Quanxin temporarily left the library and managed the trivial matters in the entire manor. When the news came, he was talking with the old man about several difficulties in cultivation.
He took the letter from the Cheng family from the servant. He Quanxin opened the first letter, his face changed slightly, and said, "Dad, the letter from the Cheng family, Hu Bin's whereabouts have been exposed, but he has injured Yude and Yucai among the three generations of the Xu family, and then fled."
He Wude was slightly stunned, pondered for a moment, and said, "Xu Yude and Xu Yucai must have advanced to the sixth level long ago."
"Yes, they advanced to the sixth level at the age of seventeen or eighteen, but unfortunately, until twenty-four or five, none of them could break through to the seventh level." When he said this, He Quanxin's tone inevitably had a hint of pride.
He Wude whispered: "The two young men with sixth level of internal strength can't stop a fugitive on the fifth level. This Hu Bin is not simple."
He Quanxin nodded slightly and casually opened the second letter. However, when his eyes swept over it, his face suddenly changed drastically and he exclaimed: "Not good."
He Wude frowned and said, "Quanxin, you are the eldest son of your family, so you must have the temperament of your boss and don't panic about trivial matters."
He Quanxin looked up. He did not listen to the old man at all, but said quickly: "Hu Bin has now escaped to the county road, and the second-generation master of the Xu family is chasing him closely behind."
"Well, the second generation of the Xu family should be strong enough...what, fleeing to the county road?" He Wude suddenly stood up, and a hint of green appeared on his face.
He Quanxin turned around and said without hesitation: "Dad, I will take the lead and I will definitely not let Yiming have any trouble."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, a flower appeared in front of him, and a figure had already passed by him and headed towards the county avenue.
He Quanxin was stunned and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Although Hu Bin only has five levels of internal strength cultivation, he is a wanted criminal with blood on his hands. He was able to wander here from the distant Linqiu County and injured two children of the Xu family who have been promoted to the sixth level of internal strength for many years. How could he do without a real guy in his hands?
If he met the other children in the village, He Quanxin would not be too worried, because even Yixuan is already eighteen years old and has participated in several competitions with the younger generations of the Xu family and the Cheng family, and has rich fighting experience. Moreover, they have been in the sixth level for nearly two years for nearly two years. Each of them has a combat skill that has reached its peak strength. Even if they cannot win, they should be able to protect themselves.
But Yiming is different. He has only been promoted to the sixth level for more than half a year, and it is impossible for him to master combat skills and skills to reach the peak. If he meets Hu Bin, who has experienced many battles and climbs out of the dead, it is really hard to say who can be better. If it is lost, it will definitely be a huge blow to the He family.
He sighed inwardly, and He Quanxin immediately caught up with him, but there was still a big gap in strength between him and He Wude, and he couldn't catch up with him. However, in his heart, he also hoped that Yiming would not meet Hu Bin. He also sighed in his heart that his scheming father finally made a mistake this time.
