Listening to Xia Fan's questioning, Xia Ya was a little nervous, as if he wanted to stop Xia Fan, but he didn't know how to stop it, and his face was full of embarrassment for a while.

Xia Changle's withered hand holding the cane was obviously tightened, but the tightly frowning brows were stretched out, he smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "You're right, I really don't have the qualifications to make this kind of request." ”

After speaking, Xia Changle got up on crutches and walked in front of Xia Fan step by step, Xia Fan also stood up from the seat, due to the height gap between the two, Xia Changle had to look up at Xia Fan.

"The family has become more and more depraved over the years, and it is indeed necessary to change with a new look, I hope you father and son ...... can make the Xia family ...... Let's make a difference. ”

After speaking, Xia Changle hunched his waist, turned around and slowly walked towards the outside of the hall.

"What about you?"

Xia Fan heard some of the death intent in Xia Changle's words, and couldn't help but ask.

"If you want to truly gain a new life, you must give up all the old skins, and when everyone else is dead, my existence will be the last thorn in the throat of your Qingyang City branch ruling the entire Xia family. With my current physical condition, I can live at least another twenty years, which is too long. So...... I'm going to leave my family and go to an old friend for a life-and-death battle, but I'm going to have one last thing on my mind. ”

Xia Changle said without looking back.

Xia Fan didn't speak again, just silently watched Xia Changle leave the living room and disappear into the courtyard again.

"It's a ...... An old man who really cares about his family. ”

Xia Ya said in a deep voice.

"It's a pity...... Any noble personality will always slowly degenerate as events go by. By the way, father, before coming back this time, I had a conflict with a person who claimed to be the prince of Pingxi Wangfu outside the city gate, so I may need to deal with this matter first in the past two days. ”

Xia Fan shook his head, and then remembered that he hadn't told his father what he had encountered at the city gate before.

"Pingxi Palace?"

Xia Ya raised his eyebrows and said, "En...... Pingxi Wangfu is a new force that has only risen in the past two years, and because of his outstanding military achievements, the King of Pingxi has a high prestige in the military, so the people in the palace are very arrogant and domineering. ”

"Yes, father."

Xia Fan owed a debt, and after chatting with Xia Ya and the old housekeeper for a few more words, he left with Ye Yi.

When only Xia Ya and the old housekeeper were left in the whole hall, Xia Ya's face softened, and he said with emotion: "I really didn't expect that this kid would grow to such a point in such a short time...... If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it. ”

"yes...... The head of the house...... Looking at the days when the second young master was doing anything in Qingyang City, it seemed like it was just yesterday, but he never thought that in the blink of an eye, the second young master had actually become a powerhouse at the supreme level in the martial arts......"

The old butler said with the same emotion.

"I don't want to do this, everyone has their own fate, Xia Fan, a stinky boy, can have such a life, it's his luck, what we have to do is just run the Xia family well...... Let Xia Fan, a stinky boy, not have any worries, so he tried. ”

"Yes, my lord."

……

……

At the same time that Xia Fan returned to the Xia family, a thunderous and angry drama was also staged in the Pingxi Palace.

Due to the conquest and occupation of all the surrounding seven countries in two years, the pace of the Great Qian Dynasty's conquest slowed down for a while, and the temporary focus was on comforting the occupied territories of the surrounding seven countries.

Therefore, the generals who led the troops had nothing to do for a while, and basically all of them returned home, enjoying a rare peaceful life in a short time.

As for the troops, they are basically led by deputies for the time being, and they are conducting non-stop training in the lands of the surrounding seven countries.

Everyone knows that this kind of calm will not last long, so it will not be long before these generals need to be dressed in battle again, so the generals who returned to their respective homes are very rare This quiet time.

In the past two years, the same has been true of Zhou Dongfei, the king of Pingxi, who has shone on the battlefield of the Seven Kingdoms.

This is Zhou Dongfei's most complacent two years, Zhou Dongfei, who can only be regarded as an ordinary high-level general in the army, has shown his extraordinary war talent through several large-scale battles in these two years.

Through continuous victories, his position in the military has been continuously improved, and in less than two years, he has been rewarded by the king.

Today's emperor even married his own sister as a concubine, and he was doubly favored, so honorable and attached, Zhou Dongfei really felt a little fluttering.

He knows very well that with his world-class exploits, coupled with the fact that his sister is now favored by the emperor, their Zhou family has ushered in an opportunity to take off!

If my sister can give birth to a son again, it will be even more perfect, and the glory and wealth of the Zhou family can almost guarantee that it will last for generations!

With such time to accumulate, their Zhou family ...... It may not be impossible to become the fifth great family of the Daqian Dynasty!

And Zhou Dongfei, who returned from the front line and returned to Kyoto Prefecture to enjoy a peaceful time before the next war began, was really intoxicated by the changes brought about by the improvement of his status during these days.

Every day, the officials who come to the door and are eager to get in touch with each other, hoping to be taken care of and worship the generals under their door, are a little shabby to say that there is an endless stream.

Zhou Dongfei really felt that he had reached the peak of his life, even if it was the four great families, he actually didn't pay much attention to it.

After all, it is a war year, and only generals with military power have the absolute right to speak!

But at this moment when he was most proud, he didn't expect to suddenly hear a piece of news that he almost thought he had heard wrong.

His only son, at the entrance of the city gate, was kidnapped by a group of people, and the hijackers not only kidnapped his son, but also killed all the hundreds of guards he arranged for his son!

At the same time, those who hijacked also left their identities before leaving, and bluntly said that if he Pingxi wanted to bring back his son, he would go to Xia's house to find it.

How could he not be angry about such a thing?

Although Zhou Dongfei knows very well what kind of character his son is, and he also knows very well that this matter will get to such a point, at least most of it must be caused by his son's arrogance, but Zhou Dongfei still can't bear it!

If he had been in the past, hearing that this incident had provoked the Xia family, one of the four great families, he would definitely choose to pretend to be a grandson, and he would not have caused the anger of the Xia family in any case.

But now, Zhou Dongfei thinks that he has the strength to wrestle with the four great families! He would never allow anyone to touch his whiskers again!

Even if the other party is one of the four great families, it can't work!

"Adjutant General! Take me Tiger! Go out of the city to transfer troops! I'm going to surround the Xia family! ”

After breaking something on the ground and losing his temper, Zhou Dongfei sat on his tiger skin seat and said in a deep voice.
