Xiangzhu was very excited at the moment. It was already the end of the twelfth lunar month. The vegetation on the roadside was a bit depressed, and the buildings in the town were also very simple. Most of them were made of wooden structures. Xiangzhu felt very strange when he saw it.
He kept asking questions, and Gongsun Yan patiently answered them one by one.
Gongsun Yan was actually telling Yi Rui that after all, he would probably have to live here for a while in the future, and it was always good for the master and servant to know more about the situation in the town.
Gongsun Yan's family is in the northeast of the town. They entered the town from the southwest. Gongsun Yan first took his two daughters to walk east along the Lushui River. After arriving at the Jian'an intersection in the town, they started walking north along the road.
OK.
The town is still prosperous, but it seems that there are obviously more warriors, and most of them are wearing dark blue clothes. This color of clothes makes Gongsun Yan feel like he has been there before.
The three of them quickened their pace and crossed the street, arriving directly at the northernmost end of the town, and then headed east.
Soon, Gongsun Yan's house was in front of him. It had been two years and ten months since he left home. Gongsun Yan felt excited and uneasy, and he couldn't help but tidy up his clothes.
Seeing this, Yi Rui knew that the time had come to see her mother-in-law, so she immediately took off her veil and started to tidy up. Xiang Zhu also helped Yi Rui tidy up, and also groomed herself. After the two girls checked each other and were satisfied, they went to Gongsun.
Yan nodded.
Gongsun Yan took out three large packages that had been prepared in advance from the ring, and asked Yi Rui and Xiangzhu to take one each, which made Yi Rui and his servant a little confused.
Gongsun Yan told them that they were just pretending to show the servants.
Then he led them home and came to his front door. Gongsun Yan gently knocked on the door a few times, and his familiar guard's voice soon came from inside:
"This is Gongsun's house, who is outside the door?"
"It's me, Zhuang Bin, open the door quickly."
"Ah! The young master is back!"
The door opened immediately, and when he saw that it was Gongsun Yan who had returned, Zhuang Bin bowed his head and Gongsun Yan quickly asked:
"My mother, are they all okay?"
"Madam is very good!"
As Zhuang Bin answered, he looked behind Gongsun Yan in surprise. Yi Rui and Xiangzhu were standing there gracefully. Gongsun Yan did not introduce him to him, but directly led Yi Rui and the others into the hanging flower door and shouted loudly.
:
"Mom, I'm back!"
In the yard, Feng Yi was directing Xu Jie and the others to work, seemingly instructing them in drying cured fish and bacon.
Hearing Gongsun Yan's voice, the girls were suddenly startled. Feng Yi raised his head and saw Gongsun Yan and the three of them. He immediately came forward and shouted in surprise:
"It's Yan'er who's back! Who are these two girls?"
Gongsun Yan quickly stepped forward and gave a big salute to his mother. Yi Rui also immediately stepped forward to give a big salute to Feng Yi, while Xiangzhu was one step behind to give a big salute.
Seeing this, Feng Yi was shocked. The person who performed such a grand ceremony must be a close relative. She immediately made a guess in her mind.
At this time, Gongsun Yan pulled Yi Rui over and whispered to his mother:
"Mom, this is Yi Rui. We have been engaged in Xuanzhou Continent. Due to the long distance, we did not have my mother's permission in advance. I hope my mother will allow us to get married."
"Silly boy, you are so far away and you still need my consent. You can just love each other and make your own decisions. Come on, wife, let me take a good look at you."
As Feng Yi spoke, he stretched out his hand to pull Yi Rui over and looked at it repeatedly, making Yi Rui feel a little embarrassed, while Xiang Zhu snickered on the side.
At this time, the maids and servants in the courtyard woke up, and the housekeeper Po Xujie took the lead and came over to see the ceremony. Gongsun Yan introduced Xiangzhu to them, and Xiangzhu quickly became familiar with them.
Feng Yi took Yi Rui's hand and walked towards the main room with a smile on her face. It was obvious that she really liked Yi Rui.
Originally, Feng Yi thought that Gongsun Yan was traveling all the time and had no time for his own marriage. Now that he was so happy that his son suddenly brought back a beautiful daughter-in-law, how could she not be so happy?
When they came to the living room of the main house, Feng Yi sat down and pulled Yi Rui to sit next to him. He began to ask her if she felt it was hard to travel and eat and sleep in the open air.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted for a while, and Feng Yi immediately asked Xu Jie to arrange for the cook to prepare the banquet, and tidy up Gongsun Yao's room in the back building, temporarily changing it into Yi Rui's boudoir, allowing Yi Rui and Xiang Zhu to live in it temporarily.
Yi Rui took out various gifts prepared for her mother-in-law from her ring, and filled the table with a dazzling array of gifts. In addition to cultivation resources, there were also some things used by women.
Gongsun Yan took out a hidden ring, asked his mother to shed blood to identify its owner, and taught her how to use it. Feng Yi was already in the middle stage of Qi training and had no problem controlling his thoughts.
Then he took out the magic armor, magic sword, various cultivation resources, special products, etc. prepared for his mother, as well as the gifts for Aunt Xu and the others, and asked his mother to put them into the ring and keep them away.
After that, Gongsun Yan took out the "Immortal Family Card" and personally embedded the "Immortal Family Card" on his mother's forehead. He also took out the black card that could conceal one's cultivation level, and asked her mother to shed her blood to identify its owner, telling her that this thing would always be there.
Can't leave.
Not long after, Xu Jie came over personally to inform them that the banquet was ready.
At this time, Uncle Zhong's family also came after hearing the news. Feng Yi asked Xu Jie to send someone to inform them. Gongsun Yan introduced Yi Rui and his servant to Uncle Zhong's family, and the two families immediately went to the restaurant to have dinner.
During the banquet, several women chatted together and talked endlessly. Gongsun Yan took the opportunity to ask about the situation in Huachen Kingdom. After asking, he realized that Huachen Kingdom had changed!
It turned out that less than half a year after Gongsun Yan left the Huachen Kingdom, the Bangyuan Kingdom invaded the country on a large scale and launched a full-line attack on the territory of the Huachen Kingdom. They quickly crossed the Shuanglang Mountains and captured a large area of land and hundreds of cities. Huachen
The country quickly mobilized the Western Army and the Southern Army to reinforce.
Facing the wolf-like army of the Mangyuan Kingdom, which had been planned for a long time, the Huachen Kingdom's army was still invincible and was retreating steadily. In desperation, the Huachen Kingdom could only ask the host country, Xia Su Kingdom, and the Jishui Kingdom to intervene.
But at this time, the Huadian Kingdom and the Bayan Kingdom were under frontal attack from the Huxiao Kingdom. In order to resist foreign enemies, the kingdom and the Xiasu Kingdom had no time to take into account the "internal" disputes between the Bangyuan Kingdom and the Huachen Kingdom, and only sent "special envoys" to
Talking about peace, but to no avail.
In the end, the Huachen Kingdom had to use the central army directly controlled by the king to engage in a life-and-death battle with the troops of the Bangyuan Kingdom. Unfortunately, they were defeated. Subsequently, the Huachen Kingdom's army retreated steadily and had to retreat to the capital.
At this time, Yongcheng, the leader of the Huachen Kingdom, died, and the capital was in chaos. The army of the Bangyuan Kingdom took advantage of the chaos and invaded. Yongze, the new crown prince of the auxiliary country, fled with his people, crossed the Yellow River and fled to Wancheng, and announced to the world that the official
He ascended the throne and made Wancheng his capital.
