Volume Four, Volume 48, Chapter 2, Arriving at the Old House
"The last time I saw the old man, although the old man's body was weak, it had not reached this point. There was no shortage of various medicines and secret medicines at home to regulate the body. Why did the old man's body suddenly collapse in just two years?
Come down?"
In response to Zhang Tie's question, ** hesitated for a moment before answering in a low voice, "The old man's health has suddenly taken a turn for the worse in the past four months..."
"The past four months?" Zhang Tie's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Yes, it was after the old man found out that you were hit by the Lightning of Nirvana after the Battle of Weishui River, and your life or death was uncertain. There was no news during the treatment at Xuanyuan Hill. It was during that time that the old man's body collapsed rapidly.
During that time, the old man had to ask for news about you several times a day. If his family hadn't stopped him and he was afraid of causing trouble to you, he would have gone to Xuanyuan Hill to see you. He was afraid that we would hide it from him.
, and asked people to collect newspapers from various states for him every day, trying to find some news from the newspapers, and sometimes insisted on going to the teahouse to listen to other people's opinions. We tried to persuade him but he didn't listen. We asked someone to look at it.
It is said that the old man became ill with worries and was exhausted mentally. The old man’s body originally relied on recuperation, but once his mental and physical strength is exhausted, it will be useless to eat anything..."
Unexpectedly, the old man's sudden physical collapse was related to him. Thinking of the old man's voice and smile, Zhang Tie's nose suddenly felt sore and his eye circles suddenly turned red.
What is blood thicker than water, this is it.
Zhang Tie held back the grief in his heart and asked, "Have my parents gone?"
"They already went to Jinguang City three days ago. Zhang Yang is also in Jinguang City now. All the family members who can come are here. The old man finally wants to meet you and Zhang Su..."
On the flying boat, after saying this, Zhang Tie didn't want to ask any more questions, he just wanted to get to Jinguang City as soon as possible.
Fortunately, the speed of the flying boat is not slow in the first place. Zhang Tie is riding the royal flying boat given to him by His Highness the Crown Prince. Its speed is about 20% faster than the fastest speed of ordinary flying boats. Jinguang City Li Zhu
Even though the Dragon Territory was thousands of kilometers away, three hours later, before the sun set, Zhang Tie's flying boat finally flew to Golden Light City.
In the setting sun, the entire Golden Light City was covered with a layer of dim yellow and blood-red color. This kind of color is usually nothing, but today's color is like this in Zhang Tie's eyes. The setting sun in the west has a certain color.
An ominous sign.
Although the old residence of the Zhang family in Jinguang City occupies a vast area, it can never accommodate this royal airship, which is nearly a kilometer long. Even ordinary airships cannot stop. Such an airship can only be stopped outside the city, but
Zhang Tie, however, didn't care so much and didn't think much about it. He just let the flying boat hover over a hundred meters above the Zhang family's old house and jumped off the flying boat.
Jumping off the flying boat and still in the air, Zhang Tie directly used the remaining fluctuations of his mental power to activate the bloodline of Liezi Yufeng that he had awakened on the banks of the Weishui River. He was only a dozen meters away from the ground in the old house.
When he reached 30 meters, his body suddenly became as light as a feather, and the speed of his fall suddenly slowed down. Then he fell heavily and landed steadily on the lawn of the old house.
Zhang Tie's flying boat arrived, and many people had gathered in the Zhang family's old house. Everyone walked out of the yard and looked up at Zhang Tie as he landed from the flying boat.
Following Zhang Tie, it was Zhang Su who fell. Compared to Zhang Tie, Zhang Su fell in a much more direct way. He also jumped from the air, and he also opened his hands when he was not high from the ground.
The rotor parachute suddenly slowed down his speed. Then he quickly retracted the parachute and landed steadily on the ground from an altitude of more than ten meters, neatly.
The two people jumped off, and Zhang Tie's uncle was lowered down from the hatch at the bottom of the airship, using the take-off and landing equipment on the airship, like taking an elevator.
At this time, Zhang Tie had no time to wait for his body to slowly come down. Almost as soon as he landed on the ground, Zhang Tie said, "Where is the old man? Take me there quickly..."
Among the onlookers were relatives from the old house, as well as servants and guards from the old house. Some of these people had already seen Zhang Tie. Even if they had not seen Zhang Tie, just look at the royal-level flying boat above their heads.
, have already guessed Zhang Tie's identity, and there is no other person in the entire Northeast Governor's Mansion who is qualified to ride on the same flying boat except Zhang Tie, the True Lord of Thousand Machines.
In fact, the airship has caused a sensation in Jinguang City at this moment. In addition to the people at the Zhang family's old house, people near the old house have already made noises and spectators because of the sudden arrival of the airship.
came from outside the house.
"The old man is in Ciyun Tower now..." As soon as Zhang Tie spoke, someone immediately stood up and quickly led Zhang Tie and Zhang Su towards the place where the old man was. Zhang Tie and Zhang Su
Walking in a hurry, along the way, when they saw the two people coming back, the maids and servants in the Zhang family's house hurriedly avoided them. In less than half a minute, Zhang Tie and Zhang Su arrived at Ciyun Pavilion in the Zhang family's old residence.
At this time, those gathered outside Ciyun Pavilion were the younger generation of Zhang Tie’s sons and nephews. This was the largest gathering of these younger generations, including Zhang Tie and Zhang Yang’s children. They were all outside Ciyun Pavilion at this time.
Among the crowd, there are hundreds of juniors, both male and female, ranging in age from six or seven to more than 20 years old.
The children of Zhang Tie and Zhang Yang were gathered together. They had unique temperaments and were surrounded by a group of people. Among all the younger generations of the Zhang family, they looked very special and stood out from the crowd.
Among these children, Zhang Tie's fourth daughter, Zhang Shiyu, is nearly fifteen years old, and she looks slim, dignified, and already a beautiful girl. However, Zhang Chengba and Alexander are still at a curious age, and their faces are
Although his expression was regular, his eyes were glancing around, and he was not affected by the depressing and sad atmosphere in the house. Only the two little girls Zhang Shini and Zhang Shixia were a little jealous, and the others were comforting them.
The old man was leaving the old house and Zhang Tie was in retreat. Zhang Tie's parents and Zhang Yang brought the next generation of the Zhang family over to let the old man meet him for the last time.
"Ah, second uncle, you are here..." Zhang Shiyu saw Zhang Tie and quickly greeted Zhang Tie.
"Ah, dad..." Zhang Zhuba and the others noticed that Zhang Tie was coming, and a group of little guys shouted.
Zhang Tie didn't say much, he just nodded to them and motioned with his eyes to let them wait here.
Many junior members of the Zhang family were not qualified to meet Zhang Tie before. This was the first time they saw Zhang Tie. Looking at Zhang Tie's appearance of seventeen or eighteen years old, they thought Zhang Tie was a junior Zhang Tie like themselves. Fan Mi
They were confused and didn't recognize Zhang Tie's identity. Those people heard Zhang Shiyu calling his second uncle and Zhang Chengba and they called him dad, and they looked around, not knowing who they were calling. However, those who were smarter had seen Zhang Tie before.
The younger members of the family had already squeezed out of the crowd, knelt directly on the ground by the roadside, and greeted Zhang Tie with a big gift.
"So-and-so has met his uncle (family uncle)..."
Zhang Tie glanced at them, nodded to the juniors, and walked quickly into Ciyun Pavilion.
Inside Ciyun Pavilion, there were dozens of Zhang Tie's cousins and cousins. When these people saw Zhang Tie appear, those who were still sitting all jumped out of their seats as if there were springs on their butts.
The chair jumped up.
At this time, there was no need for Zhang Tie to speak. Zhang Su, who was walking beside Zhang Tie, just glanced at these people, and everyone lowered their heads. Regardless of men or women, they all stood neatly and did not dare to look at Zhang Su.
.
"Where's grandpa?" Zhang Su spoke in a low voice.
"Upstairs!" Someone in the crowd immediately responded.
Zhang Su nodded, and Zhang Tie went upstairs without saying anything.
Coming upstairs, there were more than twenty people in the side hall outside the attic. The old man's eleven children plus Zhang Tie's uncles and uncles were all here. Zhang Tie's parents and Zhang Yang were also there.
Here, everyone is whispering something.
Seeing Zhang Tie's appearance, everyone seemed to be relieved. Zhang Yang, who had a sad look on his face, walked over quickly and said, "The old man just woke up and was talking about you and Zhang Su..."
