Chapter 2020: One by One (Subscribe)

After waiting for about half a month in this temporary camp, two groups of people arrived one after another.

The first to arrive were the two masters invited by Lei Wanche through special channels, the Bull-Headed God and the Horse-Faced Ghost from the Yinshan lineage.

But compared to the dress in the Shen family in Jinling, this time in Jizhou in the north, it was not so conspicuous.

The two took off the bull-headed and horse-faced masks and replaced them with two ordinary human skin masks to cover their appearance without revealing their identities.

After arriving at the Lei family, they were also warmly received by Lei Wanche and Lei Chongmao, father and son, and the intention of recruiting them was self-evident.

The Bull-Headed God and the Horse-Faced Ghost seemed more introverted. After knowing that it was not yet time to open the secret realm of the cave, they stayed in their tents, not going out of the main door or the second door, as if they were invisible.

But their attitudes were actually revealed. They had no intention of joining the Lei family.

Although Lei Wanche was disappointed, he did not have any grudges against the two. Instead, he treated them with more courtesy, because he would have to rely on them to take care of each other and reduce the losses of the Lei family members when he entered the secret realm of Dongtian in the future.

A week after the arrival of the Bull-Headed God and the Horse-Faced Ghost, Liu An and his party, who were closer to Linhua County, Jizhou, finally arrived.

Of course, it was not because the four of them were arrogant, but because something unexpected happened.

This accident had nothing to do with the Meng family, but because the nameless eunuch and Yu Changkong sent a message to inform them that they would temporarily leave the Northland to do something. The four of them and other Yujing City masters who followed them were caught off guard.

Therefore, Liu An and his four people, after meeting up with the rest of the Yujing City masters at the Meng family, discussed again and then split into two groups.

Liu An and his four people naturally wanted to come to Linhua County and enter the secret realm of Dongtian to see what the opportunity was. For this reason, they did not hesitate to tell Beitang Shu about Nangong Yao and the chaotic body, and they did get what they wanted.

In contrast, the other Yujing City masters who came to the north together were sent to work under the eunuch Zhan, and their main task was to track down the murderer who assassinated Beitang Xing.

In this way, it can be seen that Liu An and his four companions only came to the northern land to gild themselves. If they really encountered some good things, they would still rot in their own hands. As for the others, they were really not the same kind of people.

After arriving at the temporary camp built by the Lei family, Liu An and his companions did not stay in the tent like the Bull-Headed God and the Horse-Faced Ghost, but met with the Lei family father and son first and exchanged their ideas.

Liu An and his four companions meant that although they relied on the face of the Ninth Prince to enter the Dongtian Secret Realm, they were also grateful to the Lei family for providing such a rare opportunity, so they would also return the favor.

In this Dongtian Secret Realm, if they could harvest some cultivation resources, they would take out one-fifth as a reward to the Lei family.

At the same time, if they found some knowledge resources such as martial arts and secret methods, they would also copy them and send them to the Lei family.

The main point is to give a peach and get a plum in return.

The Lei family father and son certainly have no objection to this. Anyway, for the Lei family, this is a great thing.

In addition, what they care most about is the family background of these four people and the women in the family.

Although Lei Wanche wants to marry Lei Chongmao to the power behind one of the four people, he also hopes to find the best choice and not let his legitimate son down.

Family background, foundation and potential are the first factors Lei Wanche considers.

From this point of view, Shi Jiawen is undoubtedly ranked first, Qiao Nian is ranked second, and Liu An and Yan Libing are similar.

Among them, although Liu An is the current county horse lord and seems to be a royal relative, he is still a county horse and his status is not high.

Unfortunately, Shi Jiawen has no sisters. As for distant cousins, they are a little far away, and Lei Wanche is not so confused.

Secondly, the level of the marriage partner, his appearance, figure, personality, and even martial arts training are also a factor.

Overall, Qiao Nian is a good candidate.

Qiao Nian is the son of the Blood Clothes Marquis. The current Blood Clothes Marquis is not a quiet one. He has many children. One of them is Qiao Wei, who is both virtuous and beautiful. She is very much liked by the Blood Clothes Marquis. Moreover, she is Qiao Nian's half-sister, and is considered a target of Lei Wanche.

After obtaining Lei Chongmao's consent, Lei Wanche also began to act.

There were two tables in the room, on which were the delicious dishes that Lei Wanche asked the chef to cook.

Behind the table were Lei Wanche and Qiao Nian, and there was no third person present.

Although Qiao Nian was puzzled as to why the Beining Marquis invited him to meet alone, he was always arrogant and didn't care about anything else, so he happily accepted the appointment.

After sitting down, Qiao Nian turned a blind eye to the delicious dishes on the table, playing with the luminous wine glass in his hand, and said,

"Marquis, why did you invite my nephew here today instead of others?"

According to the title, the Blood Clothes Marquis and the Beining Marquis are both marquises, and no one is inferior to the other.

Even from a practical point of view, the Blood Clothes Marquis has its roots in Yujing City, under the huge Beitang Imperial Family. Apart from some military power and military connections, it is not as good as the local tyrant Beining Marquis Mansion.

After all, they have their own territory, their own power base, and endless wealth in the huge Jizhou.

However, from a political and geographical point of view, the Blood Clothes Marquis is higher than the Beining Marquis, because it is closer to the power center and can deal with all the affairs of the court more calmly.

If Qiao Nian's father was here today, he would have suppressed Lei Wanche a little, but he was just a junior after all, so he followed the etiquette of a junior and did not dare to act rashly.

Lei Wanche obviously also understood Qiao Nian's personality and said directly,

"My dear nephew, you have not been in this camp for a long time, but you should have had contact with Chongmao. I wonder what you think of him?"

Qiao Nian was stunned, and then realized something. After thinking for a moment, he said,

"Well, Brother Lei is calm and solemn, with the style of a general, and his martial arts skills are not weak. Give him time. With the foundation of the Lei family, it is not difficult for him to become a master of martial arts. He can be regarded as a contemporary hero."

This evaluation is not low, of course, it is also true.

Although Qiao Nian also thinks that Lei Chongmao is stable, he is too pedantic and his style of doing things is similar to that of some old guys. He does not have the drive of young people. He has achievements, but it is difficult to achieve great achievements.

There is no need to tell Lei Wanche about these.

"My nephew has a good impression of Chongmao, that's good.

I won't beat around the bush. Chongmao is not young anymore, I want to find him a marriage partner. After thinking about it, I learned that my nephew has a sister named Qiao Wei, who is dignified and a good match. What do you think?"

Qiao Nian was not surprised at all, because he had already guessed this step when Lei Wanche asked him about his impression of Lei Chongmao. (End of this chapter)
