Chapter 222: Brother Zhifeng

Ling Shang returned triumphantly, flying from the Great Zhou flag outside Nanmen Street, and the Ling family flag behind him followed closely. The turbulent team of two thousand people rode war horses for dozens of miles. The fierce momentum soared into the sky, just like ancient beasts walking on the earth, birds and beasts in the forest were panicked and the earth trembled.

Information is flying all over the capital. The Ling Mansion has already sent someone to notify Ling Xin'an. The master has returned to Nanmen Street in half an hour. As a son in the family, his elder brother Ling Zhixiong, his mother Dong's Ling Xiaoke and the Ling clan members have already been waiting outside the city gate, and he is the only one left. This is the third time this time.

Ling Xin'an stood up, called Xia Xiaoyu, Ling Shuang and her personal guards, and walked out of the Marquis' Mansion.

The streets were already very lively. Ling Shangshu successfully suppressed bandits. The vendors of Dazhou did not need to worry when they went to Jiaozhou, so they were spontaneously excited.

In recent years, the national strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty has been booming, and the people's lives have become better and better. Especially this year, the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty issued a series of reform measures, which changed the low status of merchants and was no longer a lowly merchant. The farmers also felt real benefits and generated a lot of motivation for no reason. These were indirectly given by the third son of Ling Hou.

So when Ling Xin'an's figure appeared at the South Gate, a warm cheer suddenly rang out.

"Greetings to the Marquis!" The crowd cheered and saluted Ling Xin'an one after another.

Ling Xin'an smiled and returned the greeting. The group came to his mother, Dong, and hurriedly bowed.

"Why did it come so late?" Dong was not angry about his youngest son.

"Why should my mother come here to greet me?" Ling Xinan said slightly.

Dong frowned: "Your father led his troops to suppress the bandits. Now he has returned triumphantly. I'm waiting for him here. What's the problem?"

"No, mother!" Ling Xin'an smiled bitterly, "These things are too much!"

Dong was unhappy: "Where did you pass? Your father has not led troops for many years, and finally led troops once to make achievements. Why do you feel so?"

Ling Xinan smiled bitterly and quickly comforted: "The sun is so vicious, how can you stand here and expose yourself to the sun?"

Only then did Mrs. Dong understand and smiled when she heard this, Zhan Mei smiled and said, "It's not a rich girl, how could she get so much delicate spirit? I'm fine."

Ling Xin'an sighed, and quickly stood aside, instructing the maid beside her to twist some wet towels to cool her mother to prevent heatstroke. At the same time, the spiritual energy in her body emitted, separating the hot air beside Dong. Dong felt the change immediately. A coolness came, and her body approached Ling Xin'an, and a faint smile appeared on her face.

Ling Zhixiong looked at Ling Xin'an with an awkward look: "Boy, when did you learn to be so considerate?"

Ling Xin'an said: "You are just a martial artist, and you don't think about how your mother's body can bear it? Also, why don't you know how to bring a stool and sit here, standing stupidly, watching the show?"

The maid beside her knelt when she heard Ling Xin'an's words, "Go back to the marquis, we have a guide. It was the old lady who said there was no need to fight, so..."

Ling Xin'an looked at the maid and said, "Get up, it's not you, it's him!"

He pointed at Ling Zhixiong and said, "As the eldest son, look at what you do."

Ling Zhixiong smiled and said without anger: "Mom's body is not as weak as you imagined."

Dong nodded and agreed: "Wei Niang also practiced when she was young."

Ling Xin'an said: "Mom, this year's Gui Geng?"

Dong said, "You guy, you dare to make fun of your mother, I deserve a beating!"

Ling Xinan smiled and said, "That's all. Mother, you don't know how long it took to practice. So, just take it easy."

Ling Xiaoke also said, "That's right, mother, when we stand like this, the people are all around us to watch. It's really as the third brother said, it's strange."

Ling Xin'an said: "And what's more, Miss Ling is ashamed of you?"

Ling Xiaoke stamped his feet and said, "Third Brother, why do you say that to me? I am a lady from a noble family."

"Ph!" Ling Zhixiong and Ling Xin'an said in unison: "It's weird if you believe in you!"

Everyone couldn't help but smile when they heard this. Ling Xiaoke acted coquettishly and said, "Mom, look, brother bullies me!"

"You are the four famous evils in the capital. Who dares to bully you?" Dong said angrily.

Ling Xiaoke was stunned when he heard this, stared at his mother Dong with big eyes, and said, "Mom, don't listen to the nonsense outside?"

"Hmph, do you think your mother is really old? You don't know anything? I won't help you this time!"

"Hmph, if you don't help, you won't help!" Ling Xiaoke said angrily, then hurried to Xia Xiaoyu and Ling Shuang and said, "Sister Xiaoyu, let's play!"

While everyone was talking, the ground began to tremble. The Great Zhou army flag fluttered in the wind, the horse's hooves were neatly thundering, and the dust flew everywhere.

The pedestrians avoided each other, fearing that they would disturb the galloping war horses. At a tea time, they finally came closer. Ling Shang took the lead, wearing the armor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, with silver light shining with ice light, tied his long sword to his waist, holding the reins, the brown war horse was full of energy and majestic. After nearly three months of fighting life, Ling Shang's face was a little hard and firm, sweeping away the scholar's aura before, and looked at the wife, the children and many tribesmen who were waiting aside, and a faint smile flashed on his face: "Why do you have to do this?"

Dong smiled and said, "It is better than anything else to return safely by the master."

A short sentence expresses the relationship between the couple.

Ling Zhixiong looked at the faint murderous aura emitted by his father and the many guards of the Ling Mansion behind him, and couldn't help but say, "Father, the sword is not old and has good skills."

Upon hearing this, Ling Shang laughed: "Xiong'er, you are more than the only ones in martial arts in our Ling family."

Ling Zhixiong nodded and said, "The child knows that my father suppressed bandits that day, and the child wished he could go to the battlefield with his father to wipe out bandits and return my great Zhou Qinglang."

Ling Shang smiled and said, "There will be a chance."

Then his eyes turned to Ling Xin'an, and the latter looked smiling, Feng Qingyuntan but could not see any joy or excitement. Looking at Ling Shang, Ling Xin'an saluted and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Father!"

Just five words made Ling Shang frowned slightly, but Ling Zhixiong was stunned. Looking at Ling Xinan who was not excited at all, he was confused.

Ling Shang looked at him, waved the reins, and smiled, "Follow me to go back to the city!"

The soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty came to guide him, and hundreds of guards from the Ling Mansion followed Ling Shang toward the Ling Mansion in a majestic manner.

Ling Xin'an looked at the guards on the horse's back with a serious look. He didn't say a word, but just greeted Butler Yang.

"Young Master, let's go back too!" Ling Shuang looked at the team ahead and said lightly.

Ling Xin'an nodded and said, "Let me ask someone to send some soup to you later."

"Young Master won't go to the banquet tonight?" Ling Shuang said strangely.

Ling Xin'an stopped, looked at the team slowly disappearing on the corner of the street and said lightly: "You can't go! Some people are anxious. This matter is not over yet, don't worry!"

Ling Shuang and Xia Xiaoyu were both stunned, and the latter said, "So are you worried about this matter during this period?"

Ling Xin'an nodded: "There is always something strange about this, but I can't find it."

Xia Xiaoyu said: "What are you worried about by the young master?"

Ling Xin'an sighed: "It's hard to say anything. Let's do what I said tonight. Let's go to Yuanweixuan tonight!"

That night, the Ling Mansion was decorated with lights and was very lively. The Ling family returned to the Ling Mansion to celebrate Ling Shang's triumphant return, burned incense and worshiped his ancestors, and held a banquet.

Ling Xin'an's figure appeared in Yuanweixuan. This scene was soon discovered by someone who was interested. Ling Shangshu's third son was not in Ling's mansion tonight to celebrate his father's successful suppression of bandits, but came to Yuanweixuan, which immediately caused a lot of commotion.

Ling Xin'an was unmoved and took Xia Xiaoyu and Ling Shuang's two daughters. The latter dressed up, which was ugly compared to his real appearance, but it still attracted the attention of others.

"Young Master, the barbecue you want is here!" The waiter respectfully served Ling Xin'an's food. Before he could serve, the rich meat fragrance came, which immediately attracted the attention of diners.

"Woman, what is this?" A diner stopped the waiter and said.

The waiter smiled and said, "This is the barbecue ordered by the Marquis himself, and it is the newly developed food in our store."

"Barbecue? Isn't this common savages? Why is it so fragrant?" the diner said in confusion.

"That's because our store uses a special recipe. The meat is too much, the juice is tender and fragrant!"

"The fragrance is quite strong, so I'll give you one too!" said the diner.

"Sorry!" the waiter refused, "This is the newly developed dish of the Marquis tonight. He has to let him nod before he can sell it after trying it, so please don't be impatient. When will the Marquis agree to be ready?"

As soon as these words were finished, diners were immediately shocked to discuss. At this time, a figure chuckled at the most noble door with a wine glass.

Bang...

The door was opened, revealing the three people sitting inside. Looking at the figure, the person who came smiled and said, "You are indeed here."

Ling Xin'an looked at the person who came, and it was his cousin Ling Zhifeng. He saw him holding a wine pot and a wine glass and walked in and said, "I'm still thinking about who will not go tonight. I think you must be one of them."

"Brother Zhifeng, why didn't I see you when I came up just now?" Ling Xin'an quickly stood up and greeted Ling Zhifeng.

"No, I can't afford to the Marquis' greeting!" Ling Zhifeng said with a smile.

"Brother Zhifeng, you're making fun of me too!" Ling Xin'an smiled and said, "Sit down and drink quickly!"

The four of them sat down, Ling Zhifeng glanced at the two girls, his eyes flashed, and turned to Ling Xin'an and said, "I knew that people in the whole capital underestimated you when you graduated from the college with excellent grades."

"Brother Feng, don't say that to me. Everyone in the whole family thinks you are sarcastic. I know they have misread you!" Ling Xin'an said.

The two looked at each other and suddenly burst into laughter at the same time, and the wine glass trembled. After a while, Ling Zhifeng covered the corners of his eyes and laughed in tears: "I thought I was hiding the deepest people in the Ling Mansion, but I didn't expect that someone would have seen through it long ago, hahaha!"

Ling Xin'an also smiled and said, "Isn't it a blessing to have Brother Zhifeng in Ling's house?"

Ling Zhifeng shook his head and said, "You and I are brothers, both of them are from the Ling Mansion, but in terms of achievements, you should be the first."

"It's so cold that it's so cold, Brother Zhifeng, you should have heard this sentence!" Ling Xinan smiled.

Ling Zhifeng was stunned and then smiled and said, "So this is the reason why you came here tonight to drink?"

Ling Xinan smiled and said, "I can't hide it from you, but if you don't go, you will come here to drink if you don't go, aren't you afraid that the second uncle will rant you?"

Ling Zhifeng smiled bitterly: "Even if I go, he will nag me!"
