On the 11th day of the twelfth month of the lunar calendar this year, after nearly a month of travel, Zhou Yanbo and the nine people finally arrived at their hometown, that is, the place that will become the main city of the Zhou family in the future - Yingning. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Nine people slowly walked into Yingning Abandoned Village, the scene in front of him made Zhou Fengxue a little ugly, originally Zhou Fengxue thought that Yingning was a village, and there were still people living there, but now it seems to be a completely abandoned village, and broken walls and ruins can be seen everywhere, which definitely adds another burden to him who will be responsible for building the city.

Zhou Yanbo kept looking around, and the lonely ghosts that could be seen everywhere in Ying Ning seemed to have disappeared, but this was also within Zhou Yanbo's expectations, after all, after Meng Sun's plan to invade Yecheng failed, then Ying Ning also faded out of Meng Sun's field of vision, which made Zhou Yanbo feel that it would be better to act.

"Alright. Zhou Yanbo turned around, "This is Ying Ning, and it is also the place where you need to work hard." ”

Zhou Tang looked around and complained: "I said lord, how did you find such a place where birds don't, here and there are like a city." ”

"Old Tang, what are you talking nonsense!" Zhou Qiandai lightly touched Zhou Tang to stop.

"Zikong is right, this place is in ruins now, but in the future it will be a city that everyone in the world will envy! So you need to protect this place during the construction of the city!" Zhou Yanbo said with a smile.

"Haha, leave it to me. ”

"Let's go, it's not a good place to stay, let's leave. Zhou Yanbo waved his horsewhip and marched forward, the rest of the people followed, as soon as he came out of Yingning, Zhou Yanbo kept looking at the south, the first time he arrived in Yingning, Zhou Yanbo and the three of them spent the night in the house of an old man in the south, but now the farmhouse in the south is gone, maybe it has been relocated, maybe it was damaged because of the war, in short, in this era, what kind of reason is not unusual.

It takes two days to get from Yingning to Yecheng, but if you hurry quickly, it only takes nearly a day, although the Zhou family manor has enough space to accommodate Zhou Fengxue's eight people, but if you want to build a city in Yingning, Yecheng is undoubtedly the best choice, which is also Zhou Fengxue's requirement.

"Now, I'm going to tell you in detail about some of the things to do. Zhou Yanbo said.

"Please speak, if you are less in charge. Zhou Fengxue listened carefully.

"It's a big thing to do when building the city, and it's difficult for the seven of you to accomplish it alone, so there's no need to rush, manpower is the most important thing. ”

"So the actual start of building the city will be postponed until three or four months later. Zhou Yanbo said, "In between, the first thing you have to do is to go to Wuyi." ”

"Go back, what are you going to do?"

"This is the most important thing, I need you to go to Wuyi to find someone, if nothing else, he should be in the outer city of Wuyi, the sixth gate of Chihe Street, called Baiyang, at the same time, you go back to Yizhou by the way, bring your relatives at the same time, although I believe that Brother Wen Yu will not do anything to them, but it is better to be safe, of course, it is up to you to decide whether you want to or not." ”

"Also note that Poplar turned out to be a killer of the assassination organization Blood Eagle, and now he has broken away from Blood Eagle and is hiding in Wuyi. Zhou Yanbo deliberately added two words to hide, "I specially instructed Brother Wen Yu to pay attention to the safety of Baiyang, after all, he has a share of the credit for stealing the country, so the blood eagle does not dare to do anything to him for the time being, but once he is out of Wuyi and out of the range of the Xun family, he doesn't know what will happen, so he must be very careful along the way." ”

"I see. ”

"The second thing, go to Wucheng of the Huyang Wang Clan, to find a person, this person is called Wei Li, the official to the supervision envoy, I need the address of his home, that's it. ”

"It's not that hard. ”

"The third thing ......" Zhou Yanbo scratched his head, "Let's wait until I see Shi Mingzhe, the current city lord of Ye City, just one new city can't survive." ”

Through this sentence, Zhou Fengxue roughly understood Zhou Yanbo's third thing: absorbing Ye Cheng.

After a day's journey, nine people arrived at Yecheng, and as soon as they entered, they went straight to the city lord's mansion in Yecheng to see Shi Mingzhe, this time there are two things, the first is to arrange a place for Zhou Fengxue and seven people, this thing is very easy to do, Zhou Yanbo don't worry, but the second thing is about absorbing Ye Cheng, although Ye Cheng has kindness to Yihu Zhou, But Yecheng is still a free city, its belonging is not something that Zhou Yanbo can decide, and of course it is not something that Shi Mingzhe can decide, Shi Mingzhe said that he can't make decisions about this matter, which requires the consent of most of the Yecheng bureaucrats, although Shi Mingzhe said so, but he was still happy for Zhou Yanbo in his heart, because the Yihu Zhou clan was finally going to build its own power.

"Well, let's do it for now. Zhou Yanbo stood in front of the city lord's mansion and said to everyone, "I have finished talking about everything, and then it's up to you, I still have things, go back to the manor first, if there is anything you don't understand, go to the manor to find me, it only takes two hours." ”

"Don't worry, be less lord. Zhou Fengxue said.

Zhou Yanbo nodded and left with Su Yu'er.

"There's the manor ahead. Zhou Yanbo said, "I really don't know what's going on." The word "Zhuang" written in blood words poured into Zhou Yanbo's heart again.

"There must be nothing, isn't it?" Su Yu'er said, "Didn't the young master let Sister Yan'er and the old master go back early?"

"yes, the thought of them coming back early makes me feel more or less relieved. ”

Near the periphery of the manor, this is already the boundary of the Zhou family's manor, the people here constitute a manor as a whole, although it is a manor, but it is very lively, this has always been the feeling of the manor to Zhou Yanbo, there is absolutely no such place in the world, but now that he is back, Zhou Yanbo feels that the manor is a little deserted, not as active as usual.

Subconsciously, Zhou Yanbo slowed down the speed of his horseback, which made him a little uncomfortable.

"Didn't Dad come back early?" Zhou Yanbo asked suspiciously.

Walking into the gate of the manor, no one came to greet him, perhaps because of the wall in front of the door that blocked the view, Zhou Yanbo bypassed the wall and went in and shouted: "I'm back!"

But no one answered.

Zhou Yanbo took a few more steps and shouted, "Dad, uncle, and dad!"

"Uncle Yunbing!" Zhou Yanbo almost shouted all over the people in the manor.

Just when Zhou Yanbo wanted to call out his sister's name, a shadow suddenly popped out next to him, but it was not a person, but a cat, which was the Qingzhou cat that the Xun family gave to Zhou Yanbo.

"Oh, finally met an acquaintance. Zhou Yanbo said, but it didn't seem like a joke.

"Little master, you're back. A familiar voice sounded, it was Zhou Yunbing, who was in charge of all the affairs of the family, Zhou Yunbing walked in front of Zhou Yanbo, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Just come back." ”

Zhou Yanbo felt that this sentence was very strange, so he asked, "Is there something going on in the manor?"

"It's true that something big has happened, but it's not something that can be explained in one or two sentences. Zhou Yunbing reluctantly showed a smile, "Let's go to the main hall first." ”

"Let's come with this little girl. Zhou Yunbing also saw Su Yu'er behind Zhou Yanbo.

In the main hall, Zhou Yunbing poured a cup of tea for Zhou Yanbo and the two of them, and said slowly, "Young master, there are only me, my wife and my father in the manor now. ”

"What do you mean by this?" Zhou Yanbo couldn't understand Zhou Yunbing's words, if other people were not in the manor, Zhou Yanbo might understand, but Zhou Yansu was not in the manor, Zhou Yanbo really couldn't understand it.

"After listening to me, more than 20 days came to a carriage and a few people, they are from the Xun family, hoping to let Zhou Yansu go to Wuyi, I heard that the fourth young master of the Xun family is seriously ill, the Xun family called all the doctors, or there is no effect, they asked Zhou Yansu for help, because Zhou Yansu's medical skills are obvious to all, so Zhou Yansu went to Wuyi, which is also the reason why she is not in the manor. ”

"Are you kidding?" Zhou Yanbo said, "Just based on their words, it is certain that it is from the Xun family, and they also let Yan'er get into the carriage!"

"You can rest assured that they have the official seal of the head of the Xun family, and there is also a letter you wrote to the head of the Xun family, I have compared that letter, there is no doubt about your handwriting, and there is no trace of alteration in the letter. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Yanbo was more or less relieved, "What about the others?"

"Senior Zhou Haizhao, Zhou Yunpeng and his wife and Zhou Yanxing are now temporarily living in Yecheng, didn't the Yecheng City Lord tell you when you passed through Yecheng?"

Shi Mingzhe didn't tell Zhou Yanbo, he knew about it, but at the same time, he also understood that some things were better told by the Zhou family. Zhou Yanbo thought of Shi Mingzhe's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping when he left the City Lord's Mansion, and felt very strange, maybe it was this matter.

"Daddy and Mother...... What about it?" Zhou Yanbo asked very lightly.

"They're at Chikurinno Temple. Zhou Yunbing replied.

"Zhulin Wild Temple?" Zhou Yanbo thought about today's date, "It doesn't seem like it's time to clean up, right?"

Zhou Yunbing shook his head vigorously: "It's not literal, it's that." ”

Zhou Yanbo froze instantly, and said in disbelief: "Lie, Uncle Yunbing, you are a liar." ”

Zhou Yunbing looked at the pale expression on Zhou Yanbo's handsome face, sighed, and shook his head: "Young master, I'm sorry." Then he stood up and said, "Daddy is in the ancestral hall now, you can go find him." With that, he left, and now he is of little use here. In fact, Zhou Yunbing asked Zhou Yanbo to find Zhou Haixu, not to let Zhou Yanbo comfort the old man Zhou Haixu, but in turn, let Zhou Haixu guide Zhou Yanbo.

Su Yu'er looked at Zhou Yanbo's appearance very strangely, and felt that something really happened. Zhou Yunbing walked up to her and said, "If I guessed correctly, you should be Su Yu'er who inherited Zhou Yansu's surname, Zhou Yanbo's other sister." ”

Su Yu'er nodded in affirmation.

"You come with me, now the young master needs to be quiet for a while. After speaking, he walked out of the main hall and motioned for Su Yu'er to follow.

Su Yu'er looked at Zhou Yanbo, he didn't seem to have moved, and Su Yu'er didn't want to disturb him, so he left the main hall with Zhou Yunbing.
