Eighty miles east of Luoyang, the place where Yiluo converges, is Yanshi City. Passing through the Yanshi to the west, although it is winter, the official road is also busy. After all, in the land of, there are many travelers all year round.

The cold of the year is coming to an end, the new year is coming, and the weather is actually not as cold as it seems. A luxurious horse-drawn carriage, driven by the groom, drove steadily on the wide road. There were dozens of guards around, each of them powerful, very disciplined, solemnly and silently escorting the car forward, led by the former Iron Hand Regiment Master Jiao Gang and Qiang.

Behind them, there are two other wooden carts carrying large and small boxes. This pedestrian obviously has a lot of background, and the passers-by dare not look sideways. The brocade curtain on the car window was lifted to a corner, and Yuan Qi's face was not angry and arrogant. only glanced at the road indifferently, and his eyes seemed extremely deep.

A few bits, as soon as the horse galloped to the west, he saw the flying frost and dust from a distance, and the pedestrians on the road were shocked to avoid it, and when he got to the front of the car, the knight jumped off his horse quickly and ran to the side of the carriage: "Sect Master, there is news from Luoyang, and the young master will come to greet him personally!" ”

"yes, got it!" Yuan Qi's flat voice came out.

In the carriage, beside Yuan Qi, there was a drooping boy sitting cross-legged, and his immature face was already a little handsome, it was Yuan Langjun's son, Yuan Yu. Now he is almost six years old, and he is quiet, and at a young age, he actually holds a copy of the Analects and looks down.

Looking at Yuan Qi's eyes full of love, Yuan Qi gently touched his head: "Lu'er, it's almost Luoyang, I don't know if you still have the impression of the imperial capital in your mind?" ”

Yuan Qi raised his head and looked at the translucent eyes with a blank look, he also followed Yuan Qi to Luoyang more than two years ago when Yuan Hui got married.

"Right now, you'll be able to see your father!" Yuan Qi said with a smile.

"Father?" Hearing Yuan Qi say this, Yuan Qi muttered in a low voice, and then buried his head again, put his attention into the book, and his reaction was very flat.

Seeing the performance of the little grandson, the sect master couldn't help but have a headache, his eyes flashed, his grandson is definitely smart, just looking at it like this, he almost got into the book at a young age, and there is a tendency to become a nerd. He had the intention of snatching the "Analects" in his hand, but after thinking about it, he gave up.

Fifty miles east of the Divine Capital, Yuan Langjun personally greeted him, without any pomp, only Aunt Yun's mother and daughter and a small number of entourage.

When they met, there was no touching scene that ordinary relatives had not seen for many years, and it even seemed a little bland. The relationship between father and son is deep and shallow.

It was two children, the contrast was strong, Yuan Youyun didn't recognize life at all, ran and jumped into Yuan Qi's arms, and called his grandfather sweetly. And Yuan Yu just raised his eyes and glanced at Yuan Langjun, his gaze was flat, as if he was looking at a stranger. The scene was very embarrassing for a while.

did not go directly to Luoyang, but led the sect master and his party to a nearby Zhuangzi to rest and wash the dust. Let Yun Gu take the two little ones to take care of, and Yuan Langjun will talk to the sect master alone.

Father and son, there are always things that need to be exchanged.

Compared with two years ago, Yuan Qi has not changed much, except that he is "richer" again, and his appearance does not show that he is an old man who knows the destiny of heaven at all, as if it is because of his profound skills.

"Father, it's still the same style!" After serving a cup of tea, Yuan Langjun sighed with emotion: "Over the years, I have not been able to serve you under your knees to fulfill my filial piety, I am really ashamed!" ”

"This useless nonsense, don't say more!" Hearing this, Yuan Qi waved his hand very simply: "I'm doing well in Yangzhou, I don't need you to worry about it." Besides, I have Yuan Yu with me......"

Yuan Qi's words were a little unkind, but Yuan Langjun heard it, he was expressing his dissatisfaction to himself. After all, Yuan Langjun had to write letters from time to time to "point fingers" at Yuan Qi. And Yuan Qi's character is a little stubborn.

"Your official is getting higher!" After taking a sip of tea, Yuan Qi glanced at Yuan Langjun: "With your character and style, I am really surprised that you can get to this point!" ”

"If it weren't for my father's previous business, there would be no Yuanhui today!" Yuan Langjun immediately flattered the sect master, paid attention to his demeanor, and sighed with emotion: "However, now I am just hanging on to my false position, I have no real power, and I am still being watched by people all the time." It's not easy to be a colt. ”

In Yuan Langjun's expression, there is always a feeling of "getting cheap and selling well". Yuan Qi's face trembled, and he broke the "mystery" in one sentence: "Who taught you to marry Princess Taiping!" ”

At the mention of the beautiful princess, Yuan Langjun spread his hands, revealing a little tired expression.

"Now, I'm afraid you're already in the middle of a court battle!" Yuan Qi touched their stubble, which was much denser than Yuan Langjun, and said in a contemplative tone.

"Father also has a study of the Korean situation?" Yuan Hui did not answer positively, but asked.

"You are my son, how can I not care!" The suzerain, of course.

"My current identity is destined for me to have only one choice, and I can't talk about falling into it!" Under Yuan Qi's eyes, Yuan Langjun showed a relaxed smile.

Hearing this, he stared at Yuan Hui, and the sect master sighed: "I didn't expect that the emperor would really choose to return to the Li family and make Li Xian the crown prince." The times are changeable, and the precautions you and I made at the beginning really make sense. ”

Yuan Qi paused, thought for a moment, and then reminded Yuan Hui: "However, you'd better not get carried away. Now that the emperor is still on the throne, as long as she is still there, how the situation will develop is still uncertain. Also, don't underestimate those martial artists......"

"Understood!" Yuan Hui responded indifferently, but he didn't care much about it.

"What about Ge Tianba? He didn't come to Los Angeles with you? "Change the subject at the right time.

"He's not qualified to go with me!" Yuan Qi twisted his neck twice, and said lightly: "You are really fond of Yun Gu!" ”

......

"Overseas affairs, you have gone too far in recent years!" Talking and talking, he talked about the "pirate" business that Yuan Qi was developing.

After the Iron Hand Regiment took the initiative to expand its influence overseas, it fell into an uncontrollable situation, and now the Yuan family's sea ships are constantly coming and going in the waters of the Great Zhou Dynasty and are very profitable.

From the start, though, there was a bit of a misalignment. With the domineering style of the suzerain, Yuan Qi really came to rob it, and he was already famous on the coastal line.

"I have my own opinions, and those who don't want to follow my rules will have to pay the price!" The sect master waved his hand very forcefully to stop, not wanting to give Yuan Hui a chance to put forward ideas on this matter: "You don't have to care! ”

In the face of the sect master's strength and stubbornness, Yuan Hui was a little helpless for a while, pondered for a while, and then said: "I am beyond the reach of the whip leader." However, don't blame my son for not reminding you that eating alone will not end well. Moreover, don't look too ugly to eat, even the tribute from the small southeastern countries to the imperial court dare to make up your mind? The envoy of Guangzhou City, please suppress the folding, I also told you. The court doesn't care now, it doesn't mean in the future. Shape up or ship out! ”

Hearing this, Yuan Qi pondered for a while, and smiled faintly: "Chaozhong, isn't there still you?" ”

At this time, Yuan Hui really had a headache.

"Don't worry, I will converge and it won't affect you!" After thinking about it, the sect leader said quietly, the tone was long, and his face returned to calm: "By the way, that Liuqiu Island, I have moved a group of remnants of the Iron Hand Regiment over and occupied a piece of territory......"
