"You girl, your father and I are biological brothers, and I am your biological uncle. Calling the clan leader is too foreign." Looking at the amiable uncle clan leader, Qi Xiaoyu felt very strange.
Naturally, she had met the patriarch before, but in her impression, the patriarch had always been a dignified, serious, and unsmiling elder. He was the head of the entire Yumenguan Qi family, and he was also the Yuquan Marquis of the imperial court.
The marquis of the Qi family is hereditary. The great achievements made by the ancestors, the marquis who is granted the title has a private army and military power. After each clan leader takes office, he will not only take over the power within the clan, but also have to report to the court and inherit the title. .
The gold content is much higher than Qingyu's An Nanhou. The patriarch has many things to do, so he doesn't pay attention to her on weekdays. She is just like a transparent person in the family. Occasionally, she can see the patriarch at the ancestor worship ceremony.
But why was such a serious big shot suddenly so kind to her? Or even if she made a mistake.
No, no mistake!
"Xiaoyu pays homage to uncle." Qi Xiaoyu had doubts in his heart, but he saluted again.
"Okay, he is a good boy, with outstanding talents, good looks, and good intelligence. Our Qi family's fortune is not bad." The patriarch nodded with satisfaction.
The third child of the Qi family standing in the main hall was dumbfounded. Brother, what's wrong with you? I'm here to complain. Why do you keep praising Qi Xiaoyu?
"Patriarch, she injured my family worshiper and my son. Please punish her severely!"
"You were the ones who made trouble for me first. I fought back in self-defense and it was legitimate defense!" Qi Xiaoyu immediately defended.
The third son of the Qi family wanted to speak, but the patriarch waved his hand and said,
"Xiaoyu, please tell me what happened carefully, and uncle will do justice to you." The patriarch did not let the third child say it, but asked Qi Xiaoyu to say that he also wanted to do justice to others. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is the intention. Favoring Qi Xiaoyu.
In fact, this is normal. If Qi Xiaoyu is not the fourth grade, then the clan leader may not even ask and just order the punishment. After all, can you compare with your direct descendants?
But when you reach the fourth rank, it's different. No matter which top force you are in, the fourth rank is the mainstay and the force that cannot be ignored. Once these people break through and reach the third rank, they will immediately become the strong ones and the backbone of the force. .
Therefore, when you reach the fourth rank, there is no so-called direct lineage and side branches. It is only based on strength. As long as your surname is Qi, you are one of our own and have a high status.
What does the Qi family rely on for so many years? Isn't it just the strength of this family? If my family does not have the surname of Chongfengqiang, what is the difference between it and the Gongsun family?
"As ordered, I just came back from outside today and saw Qi Tianpeng, Qi Tian's younger brother, beating Xiaoyi..."
"Wait a minute, who is Xiaoyi?"
"Xiao Yi is a child in Fuze Garden. She is only seven years old. Her mother died early, and her father died in the battle five years ago. She is an orphan of a martyr. She is already very pitiful. In Fuze Garden I didn't have enough food to eat or warm clothes to wear, and I had to be bullied by those dandies. I couldn't get angry, so I beat Qi Tianpeng." The clan leader nodded when he heard this.
"Well, the resettlement of the orphans of martyrs in all dynasties has been a difficult problem. Our Yumen Pass is relatively good. At least we can accommodate them. In other places, there are countless children who freeze to death in the wilderness. Their parents are all heroes. For They sacrificed their lives for the country to protect the people. These children should be resettled and should not be bullied by those they protect. I will go and talk to the prefect another day to improve the living environment of the children in Fuze Garden and other idle people. Anyone who breaks into Fuze Garden without permission will be punished with the rod." Qi Xiaoyu's eyes suddenly lit up, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Really? Patriarch, that's great. I thank you on behalf of those children."
"It's okay. You can take care of them all these years. It's not easy. I will compensate you for the reward later."
"Thank you, patriarch." Qi Xiaoyu felt happy. With the reward, she could help more children.
Who said that the patriarch is serious and indifferent, he is obviously very good.
"Okay, okay, go on, why did you fight with Qi Tian again?"
"When I beat the little ones, the older ones are not allowed to come. If I beat the older ones, the older ones have to come. Qi Tian came to trouble me with a fourth-grade offering. That offering wanted to beat the children, so I gave him that Xiongfang was beaten, and Qi Tian was beaten again.
"Qi Xiaoyu said matter-of-factly.
"Don't evade the important and take the easy!" Qi Tian jumped up and said,
"Did you beat him up? You took that bow without a string and shot all the bloody holes in Jin Zongfang's body. You also trampled on both of his legs and broke his legs. He couldn't get out of bed for several months, and he even pinned me down. Beat on the ground..."
"Shut up!" the patriarch shouted, looking at Qi Tian with a cold face,
"It's not embarrassing. A grown man was beaten by a cousin who is two years younger than you. She is already at level 4, but you are only at level 6. As a direct descendant, you have no less resources to eat than others. What's the result? , you have been surpassed by two great realms, and you still have the nerve to complain, I am ashamed of you!" Qi Tian was scolded by the clan leader, and he was so frightened that he immediately fell to his knees and did not dare to speak any more.
At this time, the clan leader probably understood what was going on. This was an incident caused by bullying and counterattack. It was simply a trivial matter and not worth mentioning.
"Xiaoyu, is the bow without strings that Qi held just now the one hanging behind you?" The clan leader pointed to the blue bow behind Qi Xiaoyu.
"Yes, that's it." Qi Xiaoyu nodded.
"Let uncle take a look." Qi Xiaoyu thought for a while and found that it was nothing, so he took off the bow and handed it to the clan leader.
The clan leader took the bow and looked at it carefully. The other elders also stretched their necks and stared intently.
From the eyes of the head of the Qi family, it is natural to see that this is an extremely sharp and top-notch weapon made of extremely hard material, but it does not look like a bow.
"Xiaoyu, why is it just a bow?"
"Oh, you only need to input internal force, and you can automatically condense the bow string and arrows. It can be used as a bow and arrow for long-range attacks, or as a double-edged sword for close combat." Qi Xiaoyu explained.
Hearing this, the clan leader input a trace of internal energy, and a blue bowstring appeared between the two blade tips. This surprising scene surprised everyone.
Then, the patriarch put his right hand on the bowstring, and an arrow automatically appeared in his hand. He drew the bow string, and then the arrow came out of his hand, and in the blink of an eye it hit the rockery outside the door.
boom! A loud noise spread, and the rockery was blown into a pile of rubble.
"I just used a little bit of my inner strength, but it's actually so powerful. It's a good weapon." The clan leader exclaimed.
An elder echoed,
"Clan leader, this is a magic weapon. We have never heard of a weapon that can use internal force to condense bowstrings and arrows."
