Located in the center of the courtyard, the clan courtyard is composed of three large courtyards and several small courtyards, and as a clan with absolute sovereignty, it naturally occupies the most symbolic position in the courtyard of the Oriental family.

However, today's courtyard of the Zong family is very deserted, and there are almost no people in the area.

Dongfang Yunyang walked into the area of the family courtyard, and he had lived in this family courtyard for three months, and he was familiar with the road.

He walked straight towards one of the three compounds.

Soon, Dongfang Yunyang arrived at the target compound, which was the courtyard where his grandfather Dongfang Yanhu lived, which was slightly larger than the other two compounds.

The yard is quiet.

Dongfang Yunyang just asked the next person, grandfather Dongfang Yanhu is at home.

He walked over to the courtyard house and knocked lightly on the door.

A familiar voice came from inside the room: "Come in!"

Dongfang Yunyang gently pushed open the door and saw his long-lost grandfather, Dongfang Yanhu.

The old man was sitting cross-legged at the table, leaning forward slightly, and in front of him lay an unspread scroll, which he pressed lightly with one hand, and quickly wrote something on the scroll with a pen.

The old man didn't look up, but asked lightly, "What's the matter?"

Dongfang Yunyang took a light breath and said, "Grandpa is me, Yunyang." ”

The old man paused slightly, looked up at Dongfang Yunyang, and a trace of surprise appeared on his wrinkled face, obviously he didn't expect that the person who came turned out to be his grandson Dongfang Yunyang.

Dongfang Yanhu stroked his gray beard, showed a kind smile and said: "I heard Liuli say that you came back last night, and I originally planned to arrange to see you, but I didn't expect you to come over by yourself, but I should pay a little attention in the future, Dongfang is not a good place for him." ”

Dongfang Yunyang said: "I understand, I haven't seen you for half a year, and I miss you and Sister Liuli a little." ”

Dongfang Yanhu said: "It's enough for you to have this heart, sit down first." ”

Dongfang Yunyang immediately sat down in a position not far from Dongfang Yanhu's side.

Dongfang Yanhu said: "I heard that you were attacked by bandits in Lianyun Village, and ninjas were involved?"

Dongfang Yunyang's expression moved slightly, he didn't expect that his grandfather Dongfang Yanhu even knew about him in Lianyun Village, and it seemed that the old man didn't pay much attention to him after he left the village.

He nodded slightly, and then told the old man about what happened in Lianyun Village, of course, there were some details that he didn't elaborate, such as the specific details of the fight, he just told the story roughly, which focused on his mentor Lei Ye.

The old man listened quietly, and when Dongfang Yunyang finished speaking, he said unhurriedly: "That teacher of yours, Lei Ye, is not an ordinary middle ninja, although he has not won the title of upper ninja, but his strength should have reached the level of upper ninja. ”

Dongfang Yunyang was a little surprised, he didn't expect that Lei Ye was actually a mentor with the strength of the upper ninja level, so he and Kinoshita Rokuzo and Yamada Saori were quite profitable, but he had a little doubt, since the teacher Lei Ye had the strength of the upper ninja level, why didn't he become the upper ninja?

Dongfang Yanhu seemed to see Dongfang Yunyang's doubts, and continued: "Actually, the village arranged for him to participate in the Shangren assessment before, but he refused, he didn't seem to have any interest in the title of Shangnin. ”

Dongfang Yunyang nodded with relief.

Dongfang Yanhu said slowly: "Tell me about your special training." ”

Dongfang Yunyang said "um", and then described the special training in Lianyun Village in detail.

Dongfang Yanhu nodded from time to time, occasionally interjecting a few words.

Before I knew it, the grandfather and grandson chatted for more than an hour.

During this period, Dongfang Yanhu gave a quite positive evaluation to Lei Ye, and in addition, he gave Dongfang Yun ** some guidance on training and cultivation.

After Dongfang Yunyang finished chatting about Lianyun Village and cultivation, the topic changed slightly, and he said with a serious face: "Grandpa, I have something I want to ask you. ”

Dongfang Yanhu nodded and said, "What's the matter?"

Dongfang Yunyang took a deep breath and said: "It's about the mission of Red Leaves, I asked my father-in-law at Xishan's house, and even he didn't know the specific mission of Red Leaves to go to the national capital. ”

Dongfang Yanhu's expression moved slightly, stroked his beard and said: "The specific information of your wife Xishan Hongye's mission is only known to the core high-level in the village, and it is confidential, Xishan Xiongfei should not be lying, and even if he knows, he should not tell you." ”

Dongfang Yunyang said: "Grandpa, I want to know, Hongye is my wife." ”

A trace of solemnity appeared on Dongfang Yanhu's face, and he was silent for a few breaths before he said slowly: "If you really want to know, I can reveal some information to you, but you must remember not to reveal it to others, after all, this is a secret that belongs to the village." ”

Dongfang Yunyang nodded.

Dongfang Yanhu said: "Your wife's mission this time is an S-level task designated by the core high-level of the village, to go to the national capital to succeed the Son of Heaven Secret Guard, simply put, it is to secretly protect the safety of the Son of Heaven, according to the joint agreement signed by our Twelve Ninja Village of the Fire Country, the Twelve Ninja Villages will jointly form the Son of Heaven Secret Guard Group, and each ninja village will appoint a ninja, so that the Twelve Dark Guards of the Son of Heaven will also be formed, and your wife will go to the national capital to take over the position of the secret guard belonging to our Muyan Village." ”

Dongfang Yunyang didn't have any feelings for the Son of Heaven's secret guard, he was most concerned about the safety of the red leaves of Xishan, since the core high-level of the village set the mission of the Son of Heaven's secret guard as an S-level task, it must not be a simple task, so he said: "Grandpa, is the red leaf dangerous?"

Dongfang Yanhu hesitated for a moment before replying: "I can't say this either. ”

Dongfang Yunyang's expression moved: "What about the last secret guard in our Muyan Village?"

Dongfang Yanhu's face was a little more solemn, and he replied: "It's dead!"

When Dongfang Yunyang heard this, his heart couldn't help but sink.

Dongfang Yanhu continued: "Two months ago, when the Son of Heaven went out to inspect, he was assassinated by the ninjas of the Land of Water, and three of the twelve Son of Heaven secret guards were unfortunately killed, one of them was from our Muyan Village, that is, the last secret guard of our Muyan Village, but you don't have to worry too much, the probability of this kind of thing happening is not very high, and after the assassination, the original patrol plan of the Son of Heaven has been canceled, and there should be no more patrol plans in a short time, and it is still very safe in the national capital." ”

Although Dongfang Yanhu comforted him, Dongfang Yunyang was still a little worried, he didn't want to hear the news of his wife's death.

Dongfang Yunyang secretly calmed down and continued to ask, "What about the deadline for this mission of Red Leaves?"

Dongfang Yanhu said: "There is no specific deadline for this, according to the past practice of Muyan Village, the secret guard of the Son of Heaven is usually replaced only once every three or five years. ”
