Myths Begin From Boys' Gong

After waiting in this makeshift camp for about half a month, two groups of people finally arrived.

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

But compared to the attire she wore when she was at the Shen family in Jinling, this attire she wore in Jizhou in the north was not so conspicuous.

The two men took off the ox-head and horse-face masks and replaced them with two ordinary human skin masks to conceal their appearance without revealing their identities.

After arriving at the Lei family, he was warmly received by Lei Wanche and Lei Chongmao, father and son. The intention of recruiting him was self-evident.

The Bull-Headed God and the Horse-Faced Ghost seemed rather reserved. After learning that the time had not come yet to open the secret realm of the cave, they stayed in their tents, not going out of the front door or the back door, as if they were invisible.

But their attitudes were clearly revealed: they had no intention of joining the Lei family.

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

Another week passed after the Bull-Headed God and the Horse-Faced Ghost arrived before Liu An and his party, who were closer to Linhua County in Jizhou, finally arrived.

Of course, this is not because the four of them are arrogant, but because something unexpected happened at the last minute.

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

Therefore, after Liu An and his four companions, together with the other Yujing City masters, met up at Meng's house, they discussed again and then split into two groups.

Liu An and his three companions naturally wanted to come to Linhua County and enter the secret realm of the cave to see what opportunities there were. For this purpose, they did not hesitate to tell Beitang Shu the information about Nangong Yao and the chaotic body, and they indeed got what they wanted.

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

In this way, we can also see that Liu An and his four companions, after all, just came to the northern land to gild themselves. If they really encountered some good things, they would eventually 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 father and son of the Lei family first and exchanged ideas with each other.

What Liu An and his three companions meant was that, although they were able to enter the secret realm of Dongtian with the help of the Ninth Prince, they were also grateful to the Lei family for providing such a rare opportunity, so they would return the favor.

If he could obtain some cultivation resources in this secret cave, he would give one-fifth of them as a reward to the Lei family.

At the same time, if some knowledge resources such as martial arts and secret techniques are discovered, copies will be made and sent to the Lei family.

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

Of course, the Lei family father and son had no objection to this. After all, it was a great thing for the Lei family.

In addition, what they are most concerned about is the family background of these four people, as well as the women in the family.

Although Lei Wanche wanted to form an alliance between Lei Chongmao and the power behind one of the four men, he also hoped to find the best option and not let his legitimate son down.

Family background, potential and potential are the first factors that 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 almost the same.

Among them, although Liu An is the current county horse master 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, and as for distant cousins, they are a little far away, and Lei Wanche is not so confused as to be so confused.

Secondly, the quality of the marriage partner. His appearance, figure, personality, and even martial arts skills are also a factor.

Overall, Qiao Nian is a good candidate.

Qiao Nian is the son of Marquis Blood-Robed. The current Marquis Blood-Robed is not a peaceful man and has many children. One of them is a daughter, Qiao Wei, who is both beautiful and virtuous, and is very much loved by Marquis Blood-Robed. 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.

In the middle of the room, there were two tables, on which were placed the delicious dishes that Lei Wanche had asked the chef to prepare.

Behind the desk were Lei Wanche and Qiao Nian, with no third person present.

Although Qiao Nian was puzzled as to why the Marquis of Beining invited him to meet alone, he was a proud person and accepted the invitation without caring about anything else.

After taking his seat, Qiao Nian ignored the delicious food on the table, played with the luminous wine glass in his hand, and said,

"My Lord, why did you invite only my nephew to come here today and not others?"

In terms of titles, Marquis Xueyi and Marquis Beining are both marquises, and neither is inferior to the other.

Even from a practical point of view, the Blood Robe Marquis's base is in Yujing City, built under the behemoth of the Beitang Imperial Family. Apart from some military power and connections in the military, it is not as good as the local tyrant Beining Marquis's Mansion.

After all, he has his own territory, his own power base, and endless wealth in the vast Jizhou.

However, from a political and geographical perspective, Marquis Xueyi is superior to Marquis Beining because he is closer to the center of power and can deal with all 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 only a junior after all, so he observed the etiquette of a junior and did not dare to act rashly.

Lei Wanche obviously also understood Qiao Nian's personality, and said directly without any ambiguity,

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

Qiao Nian was stunned for a moment, then realized something, thought for a moment, and said,

"Well, Brother Lei is a calm and solemn person, with the demeanor of a great general, and his martial arts skills are not weak either. Give him some time. With the Lei family's background, it won't be difficult for him to become a martial arts master. He can be considered a contemporary hero."

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

Although Qiao Nian also thought that Lei Chongmao was of a steady temperament, he was too pedantic and his style of doing things was similar to that of some old guys. He lacked the drive of young people and had achievements, but it was difficult for him to achieve great things.

There is no need to tell Lei Wanche about this.

“My dear nephew, you have a good impression of Chongmao, that’s good.

I won't beat around the bush. Chongmao is not young anymore, so I want to find a marriage for him. After much thought, I learned that my nephew has a younger sister named Qiao Wei, who is dignified and would be a good match for him. What do you think?"

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