Seeing the surprising scene in front of them, Zhou Yu and his sister Zhou Min were both shocked and overwhelmed. Mu Xuan had an indifferent expression on his face. He stretched out his hand to pull down his bamboo hat, leaned against the city wall, and observed silently.
"Brother... it's been forty years... it's been forty years..." Zhou Hu tightly grasped Zhou Cang's shoulders and said in a choked voice, with tears slowly flowing down his wrinkled face.
"Yeah...I thought I would never see you again..."
"Quickly, I'll take you back to see your father!" Zhou Hu seemed to have remembered something. He pulled Zhou Cang and walked towards the city.
"Brother, wait, my children are still over there."
After Zhou Cang said this, he waved to Zhou Min and Zhou Yu, who looked surprised. The excitement was all written on his face, and tears of happiness and excitement continued to flow from his eyes.
"Let's go...let's go..." Zhou Min was the first to react. He grabbed his younger brother and walked towards his father Zhou Cang.
"Where's Brother Mu Xuan?" Just when Zhou Yu was about to call Mu Xuan, he suddenly found that Mu Xuan, who had been leaning under the corner just now, had disappeared.
"Well? Yes, where is Mu Xuan?" Zhou Min also looked confused.
"You go first, I will go find you later. It is not convenient for me to come into contact with the soldiers of the Qingyun Empire." Mu Xuan's calm voice suddenly sounded in the ears of Zhou Min and his sister.
"Well? By the way, sister, let's go first." Zhou Yu was very smart, and he remembered the wanted notice beside the city gate.
"oh…"
In this way, the two siblings followed closely behind the two brothers who were joyful and walked towards the imperial city.
The Zhou family?
Mu Xuan stood in the shadow of a building in the city, looked at the people walking forward, and said slowly to himself.
Mu Xuan didn't know what the Zhou family meant in the Qingyun Empire. In fact, the Zhou family, like Zhang Zheng's previous Zhang family, was one of the four major families in the Qingyun Empire.
The Zhang family, the Zhou family, the Liu family and the Qian family are the four most influential families in the Qingyun Empire. There are many powerful people in each family. Their power is distributed in every corner of the Qingyun Empire. They hold important positions in the country.
people.
It can be said that the prosperity and stability of the Qingyun Empire are inseparable from the four major families.
Another point worth explaining is that the Zhang family and the Liu family are good at fighting skills, while the Zhou family and the Qian family are good at alchemy. The four major families and the royal Chen family together constitute the current Qingyun leadership group.
It was getting late, and Mu Xuan found a simple inn next to the Zhou Mansion, ready to take a rest. After confirming that the three Zhou family members were safe here, he said goodbye to them and left.
Mu Xuan no longer planned to take them to the northwest orc habitat. The fact that they found his family was probably what Mu Xuan wanted to see the most. He really didn't want to take the two old and one young man to the northwest and suffer.
At this time, the Zhou Mansion located in the south of Tianyong Imperial City was brightly lit, and the faces of young and old were all filled with excited smiles. The direct members of the Zhou family had returned.
"It's really A Cang..." In the main hall of Zhou Mansion, a very weak old man kept stroking Zhou Cang's face and said hoarsely.
"Father...is really...a younger brother..." The person Zhou Hu called his father was none other than the current patriarch of the Zhou family, Zhou Xiaotian.
Different from the excitement of Zhou Hu and Zhou Xiaotian, Zhou Cang looked very sad at this time. He looked at his father who had no impression, and his heart was filled with emotion.
“Bang bang bang!”
Suddenly, Zhou Cang kowtowed heavily to Zhou Xiaotian.
"Brother, what are you doing?!"
Zhou Hu quickly stopped Zhou Cang.
"Father...the child is unfilial!" After saying this, Zhou Cang was ready to kowtow again.
"It'll be good to come back... it'll be good to come back..." Zhou Xiaotian showed a kind smile, and then reached out to help Zhou Cang.
"Father…"
Not far away, Zhou Min's sister and brother also had tears on their faces. They had never heard their father talk about his past affairs. Now it seems that his father must have been in pain before.
"Come here quickly, let grandpa see you." Zhou Tianxiao waved slowly to Zhou Min and his sister.
"Grandpa..." Zhou Yu was the first to run over, and he immediately threw himself into Zhou Tianxiao's arms, crying loudly.
"Hahaha…"
On the roof outside the house, Mu Xuan was holding a weed in his mouth, quietly listening to the conversation of the people inside. When he heard Zhou Yu's shout, he looked relieved.
"Family...mother...wait for me..." Mu Xuan muttered to himself, stretched out, fell on the roof, and watched the night sky quietly.
After a night of silence, Mu Xuan came out of the inn early the next morning. He had changed into a black robe, and the two swords on his back were hung on his left waist, and the Pengkun bag was on the right.
, hanging on his chest was the Moyu pendant that could be said to have saved his two lives.
"That person looks so strange."
"Why is his hair silver-white?"
"Yeah yeah."
Mu Xuan suddenly found that all the citizens around him were looking at him and whispering about his hair. Mu Xuan ignored them and slowly walked towards the alley next to Zhou Mansion.
The silver hair on his head was conspicuous enough, but Mu Xuan didn't want it to be like this, because after the battle with Wu Ling that day, it never turned back to black.
"It's time to leave, brother Zhou Yu, you have to work hard for your dream!" Mu Xuan looked at the high wall and muttered to himself, and he showed the long-lost smile again.
Afterwards, Mu Xuan took off into the sky and flew straight to the northwest.
At this time, in the Zhou Mansion, the sleepy Zhou Yu suddenly found something beside his pillow. He rubbed his eyes. When he saw what was on the pillow clearly, his red and swollen eyes became moist again.
"Brother Mu Xuan, I will work hard! I will definitely become the emperor of the Qingyun Empire!" Zhou Yu choked with sobs, ran outside the house, and shouted to the sky.
High in the sky, Mu Xuan was moving forward rapidly. Without the three Zhou family members, he could reach the orc habitat in the northwest in one day.
"kindness?"
Suddenly, Mu Xuan remembered something, because he found a familiar place under the clouds.
