Zhou Hong looked at the luxurious clothes he had just changed on. The robe is a dark red hue, and the sides are carved with eagle patterns, the eagle is the symbol of the Zhou family, symbolizing the desire for freedom, free from the constraints of the world, and only wanting to spread its wings and fly into the air.

The Zhou family's talisman also has a pair of eagle claws on it, and Zhou Hong looked at the eagle patterns on both sides and couldn't help but fall into the memory.

When he was young, Zhou Hong took on a great responsibility.

Zhou Hong didn't know why Zhou Yan was expelled from the Great Yan Dynasty back then, and he didn't know why the strength of the Zhou family plummeted. In his memory, from the moment he became sensible, he became the elder of the Zhou clan of the Great Yan Dynasty.

Zhou Hong was only eighteen years old, and he took the Zhou family to move out of the imperial city and settled in Yunzhou City.

As the scroll was read out in the Imperial City, Zhou Hong turned to look at the group of people standing behind him.

They are all members of the Zhou family, and they all have the blood of the Zhou family in their bodies.

Uncle Zhou patted Zhou Hong's shoulder and motioned for the other party to relax.

"It's okay, when we move out, we can achieve a career outside!" Uncle Zhou's character has never changed, even though it has become a sure fact that the Zhou family moved out of the imperial city at that time, Uncle Zhou still smiled and comforted Zhou Hong.

Zhou Hong squeezed out a smile very reluctantly, and now he only felt a heavy responsibility, as if he was about to run out of breath.

It is not terrible to leave the imperial city and move to Yunzhou City to live, but it is terrible that Zhou Hong, who is only eighteen years old, has to support the entire Zhou family by himself.

Thinking of the ignorant challenges that will come in the future, Zhou Hong couldn't help but feel a big head at the moment.

"What are you thinking?" Seven-year-old Pang Jing walked to Zhou Hong's side and looked up at Zhou Hong in confusion.

"Oh, Pang Er!" Uncle Zhou smiled and waved his hand to greet Pang Jing, but Pang Jing didn't like this title, he pouted and ignored Uncle Zhou.

"Pang Jing, why are you here?" Zhou Hong lowered his waist with a smile and looked at Pang Jing.

Zhou Hong still remembers that when Pang Jing was born in the Pang family seven years ago, he also went to help, when the entire Pang family was busy, the original Great Yan Dynasty was already in a state of emergency, but the second son of the Pang family was about to be born, and the whole family was still happy about it, and they were looking forward to Pang Jing's arrival every day.

"But how did they know it had to be a boy?" asked eleven-year-old Zhou Hong, puzzled.

"They told the fortune of the goddess, and the goddess said that it must be a boy. Zhou Yan smiled and touched Zhou Hong's head.

"Dad, did you ever ask the goddess to tell my fortune before I was born?" Zhou Hong opened his eyes wide and looked at Zhou Yan innocently.

Zhou Yan didn't answer Zhou Hong, just smiled and stroked Zhou Hong's head.

In the past, even if the sky fell in the family, there was still Zhou Yan on top. However, from now on, only Zhou Hong will preside over everything and take all the responsibilities.

"It's okay, we can face it together. Uncle Zhou smiled and patted Zhou Hong's shoulder.

"You'll help me, won't you?"

"That's nature!"

More than thirty years have passed in the timeline, and Zhou Hong has been walking around the yard non-stop, and his anxious mood can't calm down at all.

This is the third matchmaker to enter the bedroom, and every time someone goes in and out to change the water, the basin is dyed red.

Zhou Hong's face turned pale, but he had no choice but to be in a hurry in the courtyard.

"It's not quite right. The first, and the oldest and most experienced matchmaker, had a solemn face and blood on her wrists. "It's likely that it's a difficult birth, you need to be prepared, Madame is likely to not be able to give birth to her son. ”

Zhou Hong didn't say anything, just his eyes were blank and he stood in place.

He thought about the days after the death of the two, but at this moment she was going to leave him in advance, Zhou Hong's mind was blank, and he didn't dare to imagine everything.

Zhou Hong covered his head in pain, and there were bursts of screams from the bedroom.

For a long time, Zhou Hong sat in the room in a daze.

His eyes were blank, as if his soul was out of his body, and he was left with his body in place.

The child was born as a boy. However, the lady died due to heavy bleeding in the process.

Zhou Hong didn't blame anyone, he knew that everyone would have that day.

Either die on the battlefield or die in a natural disaster.

Everyone's life will come to an end, which is force majeure.

But even so, Zhou Hong still couldn't hide the pain in his heart, he covered his face with his hands, and tears kept washing his eyes.

"Sir。。。。。 The old housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion walked in, and his son Xiao Er also ran into the room.

"Get out quickly! Get out quickly! Don't bother the master!" the old butler hurriedly drove Xiao Er out.

"Sir. ”

"Well, what's wrong?" Zhou Hong replied in a snort, his voice hoarse to the extent that even Zhou Hong himself was surprised. "What's wrong?"

"Eat something, sir, you haven't eaten all day, and you're going to break your body if you go on like this. ”

"It's okay, you go take care of them. Zhou Hong wiped the tears from his face with his sleeve. "I'd like to see the kids, can I?"

"Of course! The old housekeeper immediately took Zhou Hong to another room.

At this time, the room was not yet a hardwood bed, and there was not a trace of clothing in the room.

The nurse put down the child and stepped aside.

Zhou Hong slowly stepped forward and leaned over to look at the child on the bed.

He had long been in despair.

From the age of eighteen when he left the imperial city to Yunzhou City, Zhou Hong was still an ambitious and heroic teenager at the beginning. He was convinced of his own strength, and he believed that with his own efforts, sooner or later the Zhou family would return to its former glory.

However, he miscalculated, and since then, no matter how hard he tries, fate is like a joke with himself, and Zhou Hong has no ability to revive the Zhou family at all.

Even now that he has his first child, he still has no hope.

However, when Zhou Hong gently picked up the child, he seemed to see the sea of stars in those small eyes.

"Have you thought of a name, sir?" asked the old butler softly, looking at the sleeping child. ”

"Yes. Zhou Hong replied softly.

"What?"

"Zhou Zheng is not only the righteousness of justice, but also the righteousness of integrity, and the righteousness of righteousness. I hope that he will be a person who upholds justice, is upright, kind, and upright. Zhou Hong gently kissed Zhou Zheng's cheek, and whispered in Zhou Zheng's ear: "Zheng'er, you must grow up well and safely." ”

Zhou Hong looked at the baby in his arms, his eyes were full of doting.

Thinking back to the present, Zhou Hong looked at the luxurious clothes on his body and sighed.

Today is the day of the grand ceremony in Yunzhou City, but Zhou Zheng has been absconding for half a month.

Zhou Hong was very worried about his son's safety, but at this moment, as the city lord of Yunzhou City and the elder of the Zhou clan of the Great Yan Dynasty, he had to face criticism and preside over this grand ceremony.

Zhou Hong took a deep breath and walked out of the Zhou Mansion slowly.

He imagined that at the door, everyone in the Zhou Mansion would cheer for him, encourage, and welcome his arrival with applause.

However, there was a flash of fire in front of him, and dozens of arrows shot directly into Zhou Hong's body.

"Poof!" Zhou Hong violently spat out a mouthful of blood, he glared ahead angrily, and he couldn't see the enemy's movement clearly.
