Since Balon left Ruolan, Dongfang Lie has not stopped much in the family, he knows that he has a big responsibility, and he is busy dealing with military affairs every day, and the family of more than 10,000 people is busy, and as the head of the family, he is the most hard.

Every morning, the Weasel Dongyi branch will send the latest news in the realm of the New Political Alliance from the border of the northern realm, and once the news is sent, a military meeting will be held within the family, and the upper and lower levels of the family will be ready to deal with the surprise attack of the new political alliance at any time.

"Family master, Feng Mingguan sent a document, there is no major movement in the northern enemy territory, please rest assured." Dongfang Li, a retainer, opened his mouth as soon as he entered the door, "However, the Weasel Branch in the west has sent news that the blockade of large and medium-sized city passes has been implemented in all major areas of the occupied area, and the tariffs on foreign traders have been increased. ”

"Inform the third uncle, Fengming Pass asked him to be careful about the enemy's tariff increase and forced tax collection...... Tell the Weasel Division to continue the investigation, and it is best to find out anything from Chihong City. Dongfang Lie said after taking the document.

"No." Dongfang Li retreated stupidly and closed the door of the study.

"Family Master, Lord Dongfang Yuan sent a report from Yongliang City that forty-one pairs of Xuantie soft armor have been built, and it is estimated that they will be able to accept it in the future," Dongfang Yuan, the head of the family's guard, said when he entered the door.

Dongfang Lie's face was tired, and his head never raised, "Got it, Uncle Yuan, help me reply to the second uncle and say that he has worked hard, and then you go and prepare to distribute the Xuantie soft armor to the Heavenly Fire Battalion of the Vulcan Army,"

"Understood," Dongfang Yuan looked at him, "Master of the family, don't be busy until late today, let's rest early in the evening." ”

"Uncle Yuan," Dongfang Lie raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot due to overwork, "I am only a shallow learner and inexperienced, you have worked hard day and night to help me, thank you." ”

Dongfang Yuan sighed, "Where does the head of the family say, this is a bit outlandish, both you and the old family master have the grace of knowing me, now that the old family is gone, I must take care of you, only in this way can the Dongfang family become stronger and stronger, and complete the ideal of saving the country and recovering the family." ”

In the middle of the night, there was a knock on the door of the Dongyi Palace, which was particularly harsh in the silent night. Dongfang Li, the head of the retainers, walked behind the door,

"Who, it's so late to disturb the rest of the family." Dongfang Li asked.

"Uncle Li, it's me."

Dongfang Li rubbed his eyes and immediately shouted, "Second Young Master! With that, Dongfang Li opened the door, and sure enough, it was Dongfang Ziyan and Yan Wei who appeared in front of him.

"Uncle Li, good evening." Yan Wei greeted him with a smile, and Dongfang Ziyan also had a smile.

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back......" Dongfang Li was a little excited, and hugged Dongfang Ziyan in his arms. He grew up with Ziyan, and he was one of the few people who cared for him when Ziyan was young, and the second Ziyan only stayed home for less than half a month before leaving, so he still missed Ziyan very much.

Dongfang Li walked in front, Ziyan and Yan Wei followed, "Second Young Master, don't go out again when you come back this time, you have been gone for four months, and the family is very worried about you." ”

"If I don't leave, I'll stay at home when I come back this time, and I don't know when the war will start, and I have to do my part to protect it." Dongfang Ziyan said with a smile.

"Okay, you and Yan Wei are not young anymore, after you eliminate the rebels of the newcomer emperor, you are ready to get married, you two can be regarded as two little guesses."

"Why can't even you ......" Dongfang Ziyan exclaimed, and Yan Wei turned her head embarrassedly.

"I'll take Yan Wei to rest first, and I'll go to Taiguang Pavilion." Dongfang Ziyan's face turned red, turned around and ran away.

"Hey! Just come back and wash and change your clothes! Dongfang Li ran away as if he was flying.

On the roof of the Taiguang Pavilion, Dongfang Lie lay on it alone, counting the stars in a daze, when he was a child, he liked to be in a daze on the roof to the sky, and he lay down when he was tired. Later, Dongfang Ziyan climbed up from the corner of Taiguang Pavilion, and his movements were skillful, because he had always climbed to the eaves of the roof on the second floor with Dongfang Lie to eavesdrop, and occasionally happened to meet his father Dongfang Xiao sitting on the roof and drinking.

Dongfang Lie heard the movement, got up and looked, and happened to see Ziyan who had just climbed up, his expression didn't have much waves, he just smiled, "You're back?" ”

"I'm back." Dongfang Ziyan gritted his teeth and smiled, patted the dust on his body, and sat down beside his brother.

"It's good to come back......" Dongfang Lie looked at Ziyan, patted him on the shoulder, and barely showed a smile.

"Brother, what's wrong with you." Ziyan found that Dongfang Lie's face was not good-looking, and he looked tired, "Are you always busy with work and tired of your body?" And you can! ”

"It's not...... I'm just thinking that I want to avenge my father, mother, and grandfather, and I don't know how long it will take...... I feel a little depressed in my heart, but now I think of them as soon as I close my eyes...... I hate myself, after so many years, I still haven't had the opportunity to kill the murderer, and I don't even know the name and real identity of the murderer. As he spoke, a purple-red flame gushed out from Dongfang Lie's back, which was fleeting, which was his manifestation in extreme emotions.

Dongfang Ziyan looked at Dongfang Lie, and his heart, which had been calmed down for a long time, was turbulent again, but he didn't say anything, just silently looked at his brother, the British face that was very similar to himself.

When he was very young, others often compared the appearance of their two brothers, and the two looked similar to their father Dongfang Xiao since childhood. Although they look similar, others can easily distinguish the two of them, probably because Dongfang Lie is older than Dongfang Ziyan, has attracted much attention in the family, and has a higher talent, he looks more heroic, and the murderous aura between his eyebrows is also stronger; And Dongfang Ziyan has been a little feminine since he was a child, not as tough as his brother, but in the final analysis, these two people are also the bloodlines of the Flame Demon God of War, the only two bloodlines.

Although in the family, everyone said that his brother was good and blamed himself for being bad, Dongfang Ziyan never had disgust and jealousy of Dongfang Lie, because in the fourteen years he lived in Dongyi before, only his brother really cared about him.

In Dongfang Ziyan's impression, Dongfang Lie brought him not only the protection of his father, but also the meticulous care brought by his mother.

Now seeing Dongfang Lie sad, Ziyan also feels sad in his heart. There is a deepest and deepest scar that has been exposed again, hidden for more than ten years, and finally revealed, as soon as it appears, it drives the heartache. That scar is called Mom.

"Uncle Yuan! Help me bring two bottles of wine! Dongfang Lie suddenly raised his head and said in front of the Taiguang Pavilion.

Dongfang Yuan stayed in Taiguang Pavilion almost every day, and Dongfang Lie could naturally hear him calling on the rooftop.

Dongfang Ziyan was stunned for a moment, and then he heard the main gate of Taiguang Pavilion below open, someone pushed the door out, and then someone threw two bottles of wine on the roof more than nine meters high, Dongfang Lie didn't look at it, stretched out his hands, and caught the wine bottle.

Dongfang Ziyan was not only amazed at the strength of his mind, but also a little unaware of his actions.

"Ziyan, in the past, because you were not mature enough, there were some things that your family hid from you, but now you have grown up." Dongfang Lie said, handing a bottle of liquor to Ziyan, "Drink him, I'll tell you about my mother." ”

Dongfang Ziyan's eyes widened, he didn't say anything, he bit the cork of the wine bottle with his teeth, raised his neck and poured it down, the high-purity alcohol irritated his throat, and his eyes were full of tears, but he couldn't restrain himself.

I don't know if he choked on tears from the liquor or if he was crying.

"I'm done, say it, brother." Dongfang Ziyan's eyes were red.
