Home means something different to everyone.

It is a place where you can completely relax, without worrying about rudeness or abruptness, where there is tolerance, understanding, warm love, and people and things that you are willing to give everything for and protect.

Zhu Li, who was born in Xuzhou, is now home in Shuozhou.

It was almost noon, in front of the gate of Shanyang's Thorn Mansion, there was a large group of people, they whispered softly and talked cordially, but without exception, everyone would look in the direction of the south gate from time to time, with expectation, eagerness, and deep concern in their eyes.

At the gate of the southern city, three or four carriages came, and in front of the carriages, there were several people holding reins, dismounting and walking.

When the first person was heavily armoured, walking slowly with the horse, a pair of eyes that were shining with anticipation, from time to time, he would look around curiously, this person was none other than Zhu Li, who had returned thousands of miles away.

Shanyang, Shuozhou, this originally inconspicuous place, is now Zhu Li's lair.

I have been away from here for more than two years, I didn't expect Shanyang to change so much, the streets that used to be sparse and clear, now the flow of people is like waves, the peaks are endless, although it has not reached the bustling and shoulder-to-shoulder of the metropolis, at least the flow of people here, in this wolf smoke, chaotic and chaotic times, is also very rare.

On both sides of the street, there are many shops, the sound of shouting and bargaining, the hustle and bustle, endlessly, all around, a red fire, full of vigorous vitality.

When Zhu Li's carriage passed by, the curious people only looked at it in surprise, and they didn't look so nervous or surprised.

From time to time there will be patrol guards to maintain order on the streets, and the curious children can't help but chase and play, until the leading fire captain or team leader, pretending to be vicious, glaring at them, they will bang on the ground, shouting and running away, this harmonious scene, so that the breath of life, more intense.

"General, Shuozhou is much more peaceful than the Central Plains." Liang Zhang, who was walking beside Zhu Li, looked at the atmosphere around and couldn't help but sigh.

"yes." Liu Zhijun hurriedly echoed, also emotional, "The people here don't seem to feel the chaos of the outside world. ”

Not only these two people, but also Shang Rang, Li Hanzhi, Yan Keqiu and others also looked full of emotion.

Who would have thought that Shuozhou, which has always been known as a bitter cold place, would become such a peaceful and peaceful place.

Because it is in May and June, it is the busy season of farming, along the way, the mountains are full of busy figures, slender and horizontal, chickens and dogs smell each other, it is really incredible.

When everyone was excited, a young general rushed over, this person was about twenty years old, his complexion was slightly smoky, very lean, and he had not yet come to Zhu Li's side, so he shouted: "General, general, you are back, I, I am Shi Yan." ”

Shi Yan looked at Zhu Li, his expression was excited, he would never forget, the figure with the horizontal knife on his chest, forcing him to flee quickly, since the Weishui Bridge, the two of them have separated, so far, there has been a year, and he finally waited for Zhu Li to return.

"Hahaha, Shi Yan, are you okay?" Seeing his former brother, Zhu Li was very happy and laughed loudly.

"Okay, good, all right, they're all waiting for you at the gate of the Assassin's Mansion." Hearing such a hearty laugh again, Shi Yan hurriedly responded.

"Well, all waiting for me? Then it seems that we have to hurry up, Shi Yan, you help me take care of everyone, and I'll go see Ah Lang and Ah Niang first. Zhu Li also seemed extremely excited, although his soul did not have much intersection with Zhu Chun and his wife, but after all, it was a bond where blood was thicker than water, and he couldn't help but be excited when he heard his parents waiting at the door of his house.

Whether it is in the past life or in this life, the picture of the wanderer returning from afar and his parents waiting for him seems to have remained unchanged for a long time.

At the door of the Assassin's Mansion, Zhu Chun and his wife were holding a little kid who had just left, talking with each other, and from time to time they would glance into the distance, their eyes full of ardent expectations.

Next to them, a teenage lady, taking advantage of the fact that Zhu Chun and his wife were not paying attention, stretched out her hand from time to time and quickly pinched the little child's face.

Whenever the little kid is in pain, she will look up at her dissatisfiedly, but the little lady will pretend to look into the distance as if nothing happened, so that the little kid wants to be ruthless but can't send it, wants to sue but has no evidence, very aggrieved, this little lady is Zhu Ning'er, the lively and cheerful little girl, finally back.

Around this family, Guo Qizuo, Guo Chongtao, Wang Yueyao and others were all eager, waiting eagerly.

Suddenly, a young general with a heavy helmet and a very heroic military force strode towards him, and shouted from a long distance: "Ah Lang, Ah Niang, little sister, haha, I'm back." ”

Hearing the voice, Zhu Chun's face was excited for a moment, and then he quickly suppressed it, held his head high, and tried to pretend to be indifferent: "You bastard, you still know that when you come back, hasn't Chang'an been recovered a long time ago, what else is so important, don't you even want to do it?" ”

Obviously, Guo Qizuo and others did not tell his relatives that Zhu Li was in distress and almost died, until now, Zhu Chun and his wife, as well as Zhu Ning'er and others, still thought that Zhu Li was caught in the south.

"If you don't say a word, can you suffocate to death, isn't Da Lang coming back safely, isn't this better than anything." Zheng glared at Zhu Chun angrily and muttered dissatisfiedly.

Seeing Zhu Li's figure, everyone seemed to say yes, and they breathed a long sigh of relief together, feeling that the big stone hanging in their hearts had finally been moved away, and the joy of meeting suddenly became a lot more harmonious.

"Big brother, did you bring me a gift?" The little girl Zhu Ning'er is not as reserved as her parents, as soon as she saw the eldest brother, she immediately rushed up, and shouted for a gift in her mouth.

Zhu Li opened her hands, took her directly into her arms, and then raised it: "Haha, I will forget this so much, it is all in the carriage behind, you can pick it yourself when the time comes." ”

"Really, that's great." Zhu Ning'er was in mid-air, jumping like a cheerful little swallow.

The little child in the hands of Zhu Chun and his wife, seeing that his sister was lifted into the air by the kind man, there was a look of yearning in his eyes, and he looked at Zhu Li timidly, wanting to step forward, but he was a little afraid, hesitant and very eager, and his immature little face was flushed.

Zheng glanced at the little kid lovingly, and said softly: "Erlang, that's the eldest brother, when you grow up, you want to be like the eldest brother, be a good assassin, you see how kind the folks in Shuozhou are." ”

The little kid fluttered his curious eyes, excited and confused, and in his young heart, at least two words were planted: "good history" and "kind".

Zhu Li didn't mind her sister Zhu Ning'er, hanging around her neck like a koala, so she held her up and walked to her parents, and found the hesitant little child at a glance.

From the other party's dark and shiny eyes, Zhu Li saw a trace of longing, it seemed that he was also like his sister, hanging on his neck, but the two were not familiar with each other, and now the little kid had to bite his index finger, chirp his mouth, and stare dryly.

The look of yearning was very cute, and the two caterpillars quickly drilled out of his nostrils, and with Zhu Li's gaze, he seemed to be frightened, and with a "sloppy" sound, he shrank back.

"What is this?" Zhu Li seemed to have an understanding in her heart, but she still looked at her parents suspiciously.

"This is Erlang, your younger brother Zhu Nai, have you forgotten, when you were in the Fuping military camp, wasn't your mother pregnant, this little bastard." Zhu Chun looked at the little kid, his eyes were full of doting, but he said incorrectly.

"Do you bury your son like this, if he is a little bastard, you won't be an old bastard?" Zheng glanced at her husband sideways, retorted dissatisfiedly, choked Zhu Chun's old face turned blue, and glared at Zheng fiercely.

"Giggles, big brother, look at Ah Lang and Ah Niang, this is a sign that you are going to start spraying again." Zhu Ning'er seemed to have long been accustomed to her parents' disagreement, and instead of comforting the second elder, she smiled and prepared to look at the excitement.

Zhu Li could only smile bitterly, but he didn't dare to help, Zhu Li reached out and stroked Zhu Qi's head, and a warm emotion welled up in his heart, this is the feeling that blood is thicker than water.

After greeting his parents, Zhu Li looked at Guo Qizuo and smiled: "Sir, how are you doing?" ”

Guo Qizuo was still immersed in the harmonious atmosphere of Zhu Li's family, and suddenly heard Zhu Li's question, and hurriedly said: "Entrust the king's blessing, everything is fine." ”

After thinking about it, he added: "It would be better to let you return safely now." ”

"Haha, thank you, sir, and Brother Chongtao." Zhu Li gently turned to Guo Chongtao again, and said with sincere emotion: "There is no Zhu Li in Shuozhou, and there must be no two gentlemen. ”

"The subordinates are ashamed." Guo Qizuo hurriedly bowed his hand and humbly said.

Guo Chongtao also hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "The envoy is too famous, if Shuozhou does not have the envoy, there will be no us; If there were no generals such as Wu Mourning, Gao Yuan, Huo Qing, and Gao Su who swore to stick to the pass, and in the past four years, the Di people would not have been allowed to advance an inch, and there would be no stable and peaceful atmosphere today. ”

"Recently, there have been Di people in the Kou?" Zhu Li's expression instantly became a little heavy.

When Guo Qizuo heard this, he said indifferently: "The envoy is too worried, they are all some autumn wind goods, although they are endless, but they have not been allowed to succeed once." ”

"I see, everyone has worked hard." Zhu Li bowed respectfully, he came from the bottom of his heart, whether it was for his small family or for everyone in Shuozhou, these people should be worshipped.

Zhu Li bowed and thanked him, and a group of Shuozhou adjutants led by Guo Qizuo and Guo Chongtao hurriedly avoided it, and no one wanted to accept this gift.

In this regard, Zhu Li shook his head, a little helpless.

However, he didn't force it, and then looked at Wang Yueyao, and said apologetically: "I heard Jing Ming say that because of my reasons, the caravan you formed can't get out of the area controlled by the Shuozhou Army at all, I'm very sorry, I haven't been able to fulfill my original promise." ”
