Hou San's face was filled with joy, and he was extremely proud of himself. He was smiling from ear to ear. This little brother he invested in this time was an eye-opener for him.
"Drive... drive..."
After receiving the news from Ji Rufeng this time, Zhou Hanbei and Li Xinlan bought two horses without stopping and hurried towards Dayan.
"What's wrong, Brother Defianbei?"
"Well...it's okay, let's go!"
Li Xinlan's concerned question interrupted Zhou Hanbei, who was in a trance. He looked at the city wall not far away, the capital city of Dayan that he had not returned to for several years, and felt hesitant in his heart. He felt that his parents were there.
, the conflicting mood made him overwhelmed, and he didn't know how to face them, so he could only shake his head and pretend as if nothing had happened.
The two of them walked side by side and came to the city gate. It was still the memory of their childhood. Not much had changed. Her mother, Qiao Qingqing, was a wealthy businessman in Dayan, mainly engaged in the cloth business. The family was full of ordinary people and there were no practitioners. There was no relationship between her parents.
Love is a very ordinary encounter, and then we get together naturally.
However, Zhou Hanbei's grandfather has always opposed this marriage, because cultivators and ordinary people are from two different worlds, and their life spans are much longer than ordinary people, which will affect the relationship between the two in the future.
Fortunately, the two persisted, and Zhou Keyuan also doted on Qiao Qingqing, giving her any favors or favors. The two of them had a very good relationship, and Qiao Qingqing was also very open-minded. What she often said to Zhou Keyuan was, ordinary
There is nothing wrong with people. It is better to walk in front of you than behind you, so that you will remember me.
"Brother Defiant Bei, where are we going?"
Stopping and looking at the bustling crowd around him, Zhou Hanbei was at a loss. He didn't know whether to go home or not, and finally chose a direction, which was the location of Jingu Tower in his memory when he was a child.
In the end, Zhou Hanbei decided to go see if there was any news about Ji Rufeng and the others, and then see what happened later.
Li Xinlan saw that Zhou Hanbei was in a very low mood at this time and did not disturb him. She silently took Zhou Hanbei's hand and followed him to Jingu Building. After entering the room, Li Xinlan expressed her intention and asked if there was any news about Ji Rufeng.
Passed over.
"Sir, the information you want has been collected by the big man for a long time, but it has not been sent back yet. It may take one to two days."
The staff answered cautiously on the side, for fear of causing their dissatisfaction. A few days ago, they had received a message from Dahan, saying that someone wanted Ji Rufeng's information and that all their needs must be met.
"Okay, step back!"
Zhou Hanbei waved his hand. It seemed that he could only wait. He didn't know how they were doing after so many days. I hope everything was fine.
Before the staff member left, Li Xinlan once again told him to hurry up and get the information back. She would come back tomorrow to continue questioning and so on. After saying that, she returned to Zhou Hanbei and pressed Zhou Han's hand with her soft and boneless hands.
Bei's temples, wanting to give him the slightest bit of comfort.
"Okay, I'm not that fragile, I just don't know how to face it!"
Zhou Hanbei grabbed the small hand that was massaging his head and pulled Li Xinlan into his arms. He knew that Li Xinlan was caring about him, and then he adjusted his mood, and his resolute face exuded a confident smile again.
"Let's go, I'll take you home."
"Um!"
Li Xinlan's pretty face blushed slightly, and she followed Zhou Hanbei out.
"Dong dong dong..."
"Here we come... Hey, who are you? The eldest young master!"
Immediately, there was a creak, and the door was opened by an old slave from the inside. The old slave was strong and energetic. He had been with Grandpa Zhou Hanbei since he was a child. Later, when his grandpa passed away, he stayed here to manage the Chamber of Commerce.
Issues.
"It's me, Uncle He! I'm back!"
It's just that they haven't seen each other for many years, so he almost didn't recognize Zhou Hanbei. Now he was so happy that he quickly welcomed the two of them in, shouting "The young master is back..." and the whole family was mobilized.
Already.
Finally, under the leadership of Uncle He, they came to the hall. The news of Zhou Hanbei's return had already reached Qiao Qingqing's ears, and she hurriedly trotted all the way from the accounting room to the living room.
At this time, she looked at her mother, holding a handkerchief in her hand and covering her face while crying. Xiaocao was comforting her mistress. She had been away for more than a year. Qiao Qingqing prayed in her heart all the time to keep my son safe. This time I heard
When it was announced that Zhou Hanbei had returned, he couldn't help but sob.
"Mom, the baby is back!"
Seeing this, Zhou Hanbei's eyes turned red. The longing in his heart broke out into a sentence: "The child is back." He rushed forward and knelt in front of Qiao Qingqing. Li Xinlan on the side also bent down and knelt down. This scene also
The crowd was moved and retreated, leaving their mother and son alone.
"Hey...hey...it will be good to come back, it will be good to come back..."
Qiao Qingqing stroked Zhou Hanbei's head and helped the two of them up. Although she was confused in her eyes by Li Xinlan who was kneeling next to her son, it was still not important to observe Zhou Hanbei at this time.
Qiao Qingqing looked at Zhou Hanbei carefully, gently caressed his resolute face, and kept murmuring words of concern about him losing weight, getting darker, it must be hard outside, etc.
Zhou Hanbei just shook his head and did not say that he was suffering. He did not want his mother to worry too much.
"Sit down and talk, mother!"
"This girl is..."
After the three of them sat down, Qiao Qingqing asked about Li Xinlan's origins. After hearing this, Li Xinlan's face turned red, her fingers kept stirring under the table, and she couldn't help but feel nervous. She looked at Zhou Hanbei anxiously, and her aunt would
I won't dislike her.
"Mom, this is Li Xinlan, my beloved girl!"
"Ah, you silly boy, why did you bring it back?"
"Xinlan, come on, let's take a look..."
Zhou Hanbei said it openly, and Qiao Qingqing's face lit up, and she complained about how he brought her back. After saying that, she took Li Xinlan's little hand and looked at her. Not to mention, his son had very good taste, and the girl was slim, petite and cute.
, she looks quite beautiful, and in a few years, she will be a real beauty.
"Auntie was joking, I think you are beautiful!"
"Xinlan's little mouth is really good at talking. I'm already old!"
"Mom looks so old, she always says you are my sister when we go out!"
"You need to be beaten, no matter how big or small you are."
Qiao Qingqing rolled her eyes at Zhou Hanbei, but the smile in her eyes did not diminish. She still found these words useful. What woman doesn't care about her appearance? After hearing this, she was very happy. The most important thing is that her son is back.
Yes, and I brought my girlfriend with me.
"By the way, where's my dad!"
Speaking of this, Qiao Qingqing's face darkened. She didn't know that Zhou Hanbei already knew that Zhou Keyuan was seriously injured and wanted to hide it.
"What's wrong? Did something happen to dad?"
When Zhou Hanbei saw that Qiao Qingqing's expression was not right, he thought something had happened to Zhou Keyuan. After repeated questioning, he found out that his mother was afraid that he would be worried and said that his father had broken a hand and told him not to be too sad.
Although his father does not have a position now, he still goes to the patrol camp every morning, watches the soldiers drill, and gives them some pointers when he has nothing to do. He should still be in the patrol camp now and will not come back until noon. It is almost noon.
, so no one was sent to notify him.
"Oh, that's fine, I thought something happened to dad again!"
"That's not true. I just don't want you to worry."
Zhou Hanbei breathed a sigh of relief. His father didn't come back now, and he planned to wait until he came back before talking about the Great Wilderness. Then Qiao Qingqing took Li Xinlan and started chatting about the daily life. Anyway, the more Qiao Qingqing looked at Li Xinlan, the more she liked her, and he already started to give her
Let me tell you interesting stories about Zhou Hanbei’s childhood.
The two of them laughed constantly while chatting, which made Zhou Hanbei next to him extremely embarrassed. All the embarrassing things he had done when he was a child were shaken off, and now Li Xinlan's status in Li Xinlan's heart suddenly plummeted.
"I heard that Defiant Bei is back? Where are they?"
Just as a few people were chatting, a loud voice came from a distance. As soon as Zhou Keyuan entered the door, he heard Uncle He saying that the eldest young master was back and was talking to Qiao Qingqing in the living room, taking his girlfriend with him.
This made Zhou Keyuan extremely happy. As he hurried along, he saw three figures sitting in the living room. He hadn't seen them for more than a year. His son's figure was getting taller and taller. He seemed to have grown taller. He was already darker.
My skin has darkened a lot, but I am in good spirits.
"father……"
Zhou Hanbei went over and hugged Zhou Keyuan. Although he was prepared, he still touched the sleeve that had always been empty. The tip of his nose felt sour and he wanted to cry.
"You brat, don't cry. What did daddy teach you before?"
After the hug, Zhou Keyuan held Zhou Hanbei's shoulder with his left hand and scolded him for being such an old man and still crying like he was a child. It would not have much impact on him if his hand was broken. As long as he still lives, everything is possible.
possible.
"Yes, Dad, the baby doesn't cry!"
Zhou Hanbei looked at Zhou Keyuan. Although he was missing an arm, he did not see the loneliness in his eyes. He was still fearless, his eyes were bright, and he still looked like the general he saw when he was a child.
Afterwards, he introduced Li Xinlan to Zhou Keyuan. His stupid son finally got the idea, and he happily shouted that he would never come back until he was drunk. It happened that every time Zhou Keyuan came back, it was during lunch.
Today was an even happier day, so the meal was very sumptuous. During this period, several people exchanged glasses and had a good time. Even Qiao Qingqing, who didn't drink much, drank a few glasses, and her face turned red.
"By the way, Zhou Yao hasn't come back?"
"No, she rarely comes back since she found out that your father lost his arm."
Zhou Hanbei also doted on his younger sister. If she didn't come back, her parents would know that she couldn't help because of her low strength. She worked hard to cultivate in the sect and wanted to avenge her father.
Everyone is well aware of the changes that have occurred in their hearts, and they are holding back this energy to practice crazily, but there is no need now, Zhou Hanbei has already taken revenge, and Zhou Hanbei is planning to talk about it.
"This is not good. Keeping it in your heart can easily make you sick!"
Zhou Hanbei is still the same, Zhou Yao is a carefree and happy bird...
