Zou Heng was sitting in the car, looking at the flowers placed on both sides of the road, the colorful ribbons tied in some places, and the welcome greetings from some people. Zou Heng was somewhat moved at this time.

From Zou Heng's point of view, he didn't particularly like these preparations, but after all, they were other people's wishes, and in this world, being able to make such preparations already showed Niou's intentions.

Zou Heng may feel that these preparations are a bit cliché and even make him feel a little embarrassed, but he has to accept this intention.

The two carriages arrived all the way to the palace. They did not stop at the entrance of the palace, but drove all the way in. Finally, they came to the garden of the palace, where they stopped.

Before Zou Heng's carriage stopped, he had already seen several people waiting for him, and these people were all familiar to him.

The most conspicuous person among the crowd was Li Sheng, who was tall and straight. Even though he was wearing a long gown, he still looked heroic and could not conceal his military aura.

Several years have passed, and Li Sheng seems to have not changed much from before. He is still a reassuring general, and he looks calmer than before, and his aura is stronger than before.

Next to Li Sheng is Zhang Xiaonian, who used to have poor cultivation. Compared to Li Sheng, his changes have been earth-shaking. His whole temperament is completely different from before. He actually has a noble feeling about being in a high position.

He was angry, and his face looked a little more determined than before, and he didn't look like he used to at all.

Next to these two people, there is Old Man Liu who taught Zou Hengfeng the flame blowing technique. The other person seems to be more energetic and younger than before. His cultivation has reached the realm of Tongxuan. With this kind of

Changes are also reasonable.

In addition to these three familiar figures, there was also a young man there, who was also looking expectantly at the approaching vehicle frame.

The other party was wearing gorgeous clothes. Where was he standing? He was actually further forward than Li Sheng and the other three. His face was both strange and familiar to Zou Heng. It seemed like he had seen it before, and it seemed like he didn't know him at all.

But in a flash of thought, Zou Heng already understood the identity of that young man? After all, the people standing there were all old friends. Can he come with them to pick him up? And the one with a higher status than them? The only one is Zhao Yu, the son of the benevolent king.

That is, the original little highness.

The car stopped, and Zou Heng walked down step by step under the gaze of several people. Also coming down with him was the Imperial Preceptor Min Xiaoxing? So the four of them bowed to the Imperial Preceptor first, and then turned to look at Zou.

horizontal.

"I haven't seen you for a few years. The Master's demeanor is even better than before, and his skills are even greater than before. Have I heard about the Master's experiences over the years? It's really a blessing to be back in Yu Country now!"

Li Sheng first looked at Zou Heng and said, "When he spoke, he had a very sincere smile on his face.

"General, you have made great progress over the years. Your strength is even better than before, which is equally gratifying!" Zou Heng looked at Li Sheng and said with a smile.

The two people have not known each other for a long time. Mainly because they have experienced life and death together. In addition, they have similar temperaments and appreciate each other, so in their hearts, they value each other's friendship.

This is how people interact with each other in many cases. For those who have similar temperaments and there is no conflict between their respective positions, it is easy to establish friendship, and it is a very pure friendship.

"Welcome Master Zou back!" Zhang Xiaonian said from the side.

He looked at Zou Heng and spoke more politely, but compared to a few years ago, he already felt unfamiliar.

Among these people, he had changed relatively much. After Zou Heng looked him up and down, he knew that the relationship between Zhang Xiaonian and him would never be the same as it was a few years ago.

But no matter what, the friendship from back then is still there, and until something happens that causes a conflict between the two, they can at least maintain a good relationship on the surface.

"Thank you, you seem to be doing well!" Zou Heng nodded to Zhang Xiaonian and said.

The other party's cultivation level is now in the alchemist realm, and he is not considered a strong person, but it has improved compared to before. And as a court official, Zhang Xiaonian has been able to achieve such cultivation level in recent years, which is already quite good.

"Tsk tsk, I can't believe that in just a few years, your cultivation has reached this level. If you take one more step forward, my old man will call you senior when he sees you. You are amazing. You are worthy of being like Da Cang.

There are people who can make such a big name in any place!"

The person who said this was Old Man Liu, the warlock who had assassinated King Ni in the past. Now even if he joins King Ni's command, he has not changed much. He is more interested in Zou Heng's achievements as a warlock.

Zou Heng learned the wind-blown flame spell from him.

"Senior is not bad. After his cultivation reaches the Tongxuan realm, his lifespan will be extended, and maybe he can go even further!" Zou Heng looked at Old Man Liu and responded with a smile.

"Master, welcome back!" At this time, Zhao Yu's still slightly tender voice sounded, and there was a hint of excitement in his eyes when he looked at Zou Heng.

He had an impression of Zou Heng in his mind. He clearly remembered the scene when Zou Heng sent them back to the Yu Kingdom. The various methods Zou Heng used at that time allowed Zhao Yu to see the warlock's power for the first time.

strength.

In addition, on the way back, Zou Heng also took good care of him at a young age. Zhao Yu had a deep impression on Zou Heng. Zhao Yu even keeps the bamboo dragonfly that Zou Heng gave him to this day.

With.

After entering the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, Zhao Yu is now a warlock. His cultivation has only reached the realm of practicing magic, but he still has some talent. There is hope that he can enter the realm of Tongxuan in the future.

Over the years, he occasionally heard some news about Zou Heng. He knew that this mage who was very kind in his memory was as powerful as he remembered in these years.

On the contrary, he had also achieved great fame in a powerful country like Da Cang, and his childhood admiration for Zou Heng had always taken root in his heart.

"Your Highness has grown older over the years and has become a warlock. Not bad!" Zou Heng smiled and nodded to Zhao Yu, his attitude as kind as before.

Zou Heng felt a little pity for this little highness. His life was not good before, especially when he was in Qi State. After returning to Yu State, he even lost his mother.

After exchanging pleasantries with a few people, they walked into the garden. After entering the garden, Zou Heng quickly saw the figure of King Ni, who was standing at the entrance of a pavilion, looking at him with a smile on his face.

After he waited for a few people to approach, before everyone could pay their respects, the King of Ren spoke first.

"The Master has been away for several years, and now he is finally back. It has been a hard journey!"

After speaking to Zou Heng first, King Ren turned to look at the Imperial Master Min Xiaoxing, bowed to him and said.

"Excuse me, Imperial Master, for making the trip. It's been a hard journey!"

"Your Majesty, you are very polite. Of course, a rising star like Master Zou must be brought back to the Kingdom of Yu safely. Otherwise, it will be a loss for our Kingdom of Yu, and we do not deserve your Majesty's thanks!" Min Xiaoxing also returned the salute and said.

After finishing speaking, several people entered the pavilion and sat down in it.

Zou Heng looked at Nioh carefully. Several years had passed and Nioh looked thinner than before. He had more power in his body, and his feeling when he spoke was completely different from before.

Although sitting in the pavilion, King Ni behaved as kindly as before, but Zou Heng could also clearly detect the changes in him.

However, these changes are all expected. After all, in a few years, it is impossible for any one person to have the slightest change in the other person, not to mention that the other person's identity has changed from a powerless prince to a country.

As the leader of the country, this change in identity is destined to make the other party different from before.

Most of the people present were old friends, but because the Imperial Master was also present, although the atmosphere of the meeting was very good, the content of the conversation was still relatively shallow. The main topic was the changes in Yu State over the years, and some

Interesting things that have happened over the years.

Zou Heng listened to these contents with great interest. After all, he had not been back for several years. Although he heard Min Xiaoxing introduce some of the current situation of Yu State on the way, he also saw some situations on the way. Overall, it was still a bit strange.

Yes, listening to their introduction, Zou Heng can also learn more about the current state of Yu.

And through these contents, Zou Heng slowly understood some of the things that happened in the Yu Kingdom after he left.

Naturally, all this cannot be smooth sailing for a benevolent king to succeed to the throne of the country. The process can be said to be very dangerous. Zou Heng was able to detect some of the dangerous struggles at that time through a few words mentioned in the conversation between the few people.

King Ni also specially thanked Zou Heng for the letter he sent back that year. With the letter Zou Heng sent back, he opened a breakthrough for himself to take power. Then through a series of measures, he was able to ascend to the throne of the country.

The opportunity to become the Lord, of course, requires the support of the National Preceptor.

After Renwang succeeded to the throne of the country, he issued many political decrees that were beneficial to Yu State in recent years. He first encouraged births, then purged officials, and made many efforts to increase population and grain production, even at this time.

In the process, many stumbling blocks that hindered the development of the Yu State were removed. There were several conflicts with the Qi State, and the two sides fought several times. Fortunately, it did not develop into a large-scale war.

Now these decrees he issued have begun to bear fruit, and Yu's national power has begun to grow and is gradually becoming stronger.

Zou Heng also talked a lot about his experiences over the years and selected some more interesting things, such as some special evils and some strange experiences he had in some places, which made everyone listen with gusto. National Master Min Xiaoxing
