Volume 1 The Year of the Rising Phoenix Chapter 16 The Neutral City

"Enjoy all kinds of bliss in the world, and the supreme magic method of dusting the fate of the world. ”

To add a horizontal sentence to this pair, use "That's great." "It's the most suitable, but the pair appeared on both sides of a city gate, and the horizontal batch became the name of the city.

Elysium.

Located in the southern part of Zheng State, but it is not under the jurisdiction of Zheng State, nor is it under the jurisdiction of any other country, and it is the only neutral city in the Bright Continent. In charge of the city is a group of monks who claim to be the Dharma members of the world, but no one knows who the Buddha is.

Seeing the guards at the city gate, it was a few bareheaded monks, who had been in a carriage for two days, and the exhausted Zhao Yun suddenly became a little energetic, the monks of the Bright Continent were extremely rare, he was the first time to see a monk, and it was the first time to see a monk guarding the city gate, in Zhao Yun's impression, the monks written in the book, quitting seven emotions and six desires, and overcoming the suffering of the world, are all people of great mercy and compassion.

"Ling'er, what's going on with this monk guarding the city?"

As soon as she saw the Elysium City, Ling'er was very happy, and when she heard Zhao Yun's question, she replied happily: "Because the owner of this Elysium is also a monk." ”

"The monk is the lord of the city...... Isn't this a temple?" Zhao Yun was a little stunned, this monk's desire was too strong, but why should he be a monk?

Bliss City is different from those previous towns, it does not charge tolls, but to register the register, everyone who enters the city must write down their name and reason for entering the city, and Zhao Yun and Ling'er both wrote homecoming.

"Whose children are you??" a handsome monk in a white robe looked at the two with a roster.

"My family lives in Yupan Street, my father is Shu Tiangu, the owner of Fengyu Liangxing, this is my brother, we just came back from the town. Ling'er finished speaking in one breath, and looked at the monk with big eyes without blinking.

The monk was stunned, then shook his head and smiled, "Okay, little sister, you can go in, but remember to bring adults next time you go out." ”

Zhao Yun thanked him, but Ling'er couldn't wait to pull Zhao Yun to the city gate.

Waiting to enter the city gate, Zhao Yun couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, this city of bliss is really big, the main road can pass through four spacious carriages at the same time, on both sides of the street, the stalls that sell endlessly, like a pearl, extend to the end of the street; the two-story or three-story buildings, staggered and lined up, add a bit of grandeur to the whole street; the street is full of traffic, people come and go, each showing a rich and noble spirit; and then look up, there are windmills and boats passing by leisurely in the sky.

Zhao Yun was still in amazement, but Ling'er didn't care about these at all, and suddenly sobbed slightly. ”

"Ling'er, what's wrong with you? It's going to be home, why are you unhappy?"

"My mother was killed by those bad people, and Sister Feng was also lost, I don't know how to tell my father when I go back. Ling'er lowered her head and her two little hands were tightly squeezed together.

Zhao Yun gently stroked his hand on Ling'er's head, and comforted him gently: "Don't worry, isn't there still a brother here, when I get to your house, I'll tell your father." ”

Ling'er raised her head at this time, a smile bloomed on her teardrop face, and she nodded obediently.

Zhao Yun stretched out his hand to wipe away his tears and said with a smile: "Don't cry anymore, otherwise when you get to your house, your father will think that I bullied you, and it will be troublesome if you don't let me go then." ”

"If you don't let you go, you will live in my house, anyway, I have a lot of houses!" Ling'er pouted.

"Haha, that's not good, I really live in your house, how can I find grandpa. Zhao Yun saw that Ling'er was in a better mood, and he was also happy.

"Then wait for my brother to find my grandfather and live with him in my house. ”

"Hmm...... Good. ”

The Shu family is a wealthy family in the city of bliss, seven years ago, Shu Tiangu, the owner of the Shu family, started from scratch from a small grain shop, and single-handedly created the largest grain organization in Zheng today, Fengyu Grain Bank, but this Shu Tiangu rarely appeared, the origin is detailed, and few people know, everything is handled by his wife and his subordinates, and he is hidden behind the scenes.

Shu Mansion, in an elegantly decorated study.

A tall, middle-aged man with a short beard and a square face, dressed in a tunic brocade robe and a gold-patterned robe, was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back. There was a solemnity between the man's eyebrows, and there was a little contemplation, and he looked out of the door from time to time.

A few hurried footsteps came from outside the door, and then a subordinate stood outside the door and announced: "Master, Miss is back!"

Hearing what the next person reported, the man immediately raised his eyebrows and said excitedly: "Take me quickly!"

"Daddy!"

Before the man went out, a cry came from the door, and a petite man with tears on his face was standing at the door, looking at himself with grievances, it was his daughter who had not seen him for months.

"Ling'er!" the man ran over excitedly, stretched out his arms and hugged his daughter tightly in his arms.

"Dad, Ling'er misses you so much, woo woo......"

The man is Ling'er's father and Shu Tiangu, the head of the Shu family.

Shu Tiangu let go of his arms, rolled up his sleeves and wiped the tears on his daughter's face, but his eyes were wet with joy.

"Ling'er, don't cry, I can't help crying anymore. Shu Tiangu wiped his moist eyes, and then looked at Zhao Yun who was standing next to him, "Ling'er, who is this little brother?

As soon as the words came out, Ling'er cried again, "Mother...... Mother kisses her ......"

Seeing this, Zhao Yun hurriedly answered, "Uncle still asks for condolences, aunt she...... He has been victimized by a traitor. ”

Shu Tiangu was stunned for a moment, and then grabbed Zhao Yun's shoulder suddenly, "What the hell is going on!"

Zhao Yun was in pain and frowned, Shu Tiangu realized that he quickly let go, calmed down and asked, "Little brother, tell me quickly, what the hell is going on." ”

Zhao Yun told everything he knew one by one.

After listening to what Zhao Yun said, Shu Tiangu was silent for a long time and didn't speak.

"You take Ling'er to rest first. Shu Tiangu suddenly turned his head to his subordinates and said, then looked at Zhao Yun again, "Little brother, stay here, I still have something to say to you." ”

Hearing that Shu Tiangu was going to leave Zhao Yun alone, Ling'er was a little anxious, "Dad, Brother Yun is taking care of me all the way, he is my savior, don't embarrass him." ”

Shu Tiangu smiled, "Since he is Ling'er's life-saving benefactor, how can Dad embarrass him? Don't worry, Dad still has some questions to ask the little brother." ”

Ling'er obediently followed the subordinates, only Zhao Yun and Shu Tiangu were left in the house, the atmosphere seemed a little quiet, Zhao Yun looked at Shu Tiangu nervously, not knowing what he would say to himself next.

"What's your name?" Shu Tiangu asked with his back to Zhao Yun.

"Zhao Yun. ”

"Who else is there in the family besides your grandfather?"

"No, my parents died when I was very young, and my grandfather brought me up single-handedly. ”

Shu Tiangu began to groan, "A young man in a mountain village, his parents are dead......"

"You brought Ling'er back, you have suffered a lot along the way. ”

"I didn't suffer anything, it's just that the distance is farther, Ling'er treats me as a brother, even if it's hard, I have to send Ling'er back, and now that Ling'er has come back safely, I should also go." Zhao Yun already had an intention in his heart.

Hearing that Zhao Yun was leaving, Shu Tiangu hurriedly turned around, "I'm leaving, but you, a thin teenager, are helpless, where can you go?"

"I'm going to look for my grandfather, he disappeared with Sister Fufeng, I think he must have escaped there. ”

Shu Tiangu pinched the short beard on his chin, thought for a while and said: "Since you are Ling'er's life-saving benefactor and recognize Ling'er as your sister, then I, the father, can't ignore you, you live in the mansion first, and I will send someone to find out the whereabouts of your grandfather and Fufeng, after all, Fufeng is also my person." ”

Zhao Yun had also thought about using the power of the Shu family to find his grandfather before, after all, for him, a ten-year-old boy, it was more difficult to find someone without any clues than to find a needle in a haystack.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yun nodded, "Then listen to my uncle's arrangement first, if my uncle has no news later, then I will find it myself." ”

"Although my Shu family is not a wealthy family, there are still some people who can do things, you can rest assured. ”

Shu Tiangu called the maid in, and ordered Zhao Yun to prepare a guest room, and then change into clean clothes, and the maid took the order, and Zhao Yun retired and followed the maid.

The Shu family's house is very large, there are four entrances before and after, the courtyard is cleverly decorated with stone trees and flowers, as well as vegetables and fruits circled by a fence, looking from the front yard, you can see the last courtyard inside, the three-story corner building surrounded by three sides is towering, and the guest room arranged for Zhao Yun is in this corner tower.

"Master, I heard that the young lady has returned?"

In the study, Xu Fu, the housekeeper of Shu Mansion, had just rushed back from outside, and he heard about the young lady's return, so he hurriedly asked Shu Tiangu about the situation.

"That's right, Ling'er has already returned, I wanted to wait for you to return home, and I will tell you in person. Shu Tiangu replied happily.

"Thank you to the master for looking up to his subordinates. Xu Fu was a little flattered.

"Steward Xu doesn't need to be so outside, you have followed me for so many years, and you have watched Ling'er grow up, I have long regarded you as my own. Shu Tiangu patted Xu Fu on the shoulder, and then said, "What results did you get out of this time?"

"Back to the master, we found the carriage near Qingyu Mountain, and we didn't see the lady at that time, but we saw the attendant and the lady who accompanied us, and the lady ...... her."

"Well, needless to say, I already know about Madame. Shu Tiangu closed his eyes and raised his head, his fists clenched tightly behind him, and he was silent for a long time before he spit out a deep breath, and then asked lightly: "Have you ever brought the corpse back?"

"The lady has been brought back to the palace, but the attendants are still in the grain shops in the city. ”

"Send them back to their families, and give each of them a hundred gold beads and ten stones of rice. ”

"Yes, master, my subordinates will do it. ”

"Wait!" Shu Tiangu stopped Xu Fu again, "In addition, you will notify the local branches and ask them to inquire about the whereabouts of Fufeng and a group of villagers in Fengnian Village." ”

Xu Fu was ordered to retreat, and Shu Tiangu wrote at the desk, and not long after, a secret letter was transmitted from the city of Bliss through secret channels to Yundu, the capital of Zheng Guo.
