Chapter 757: It's Back
After three days, everything was ready and it was time to start the official journey.
As the first rays of sunlight shone down in the morning, a crisp whip on the horses sounded, and the heavy wheels began to roll slowly again, and Du Bai and the Su family began to drive in the direction of the outside of the city.
The trip did not make a big splash, and naturally it did not attract too much attention, except for a few friends such as Xu Zhiyan who came to see them off, there were basically no other accidents.
And the Yang Gongzi mentioned before also did not miss the appointment, but did not sit in the Su family's carriage, but changed into a refreshing and neat clothes, making a common outfit of a chivalrous warrior, with a pair of swords pinned to his waist, riding a horse under his crotch, and took the initiative to follow the Su family's convoy.
Du Bai looked out of the car window, saw his decent, rather handsome and elegant appearance, and couldn't help but smile and ask, "What, Yang Gongzi, you can still use a sword?" ”
"I once learned two hands from the master of the city's dart bureau, and I know a little about these weapons." Yang Gongzi smiled humbly, but looking at his eyes, he should still be quite confident.
However, it is not surprising that such a dissolute man in the eyes of others would be a little abnormal if he did not dabble in martial arts and other means.
But if it weren't for some martial arts wizard, it should really just "know a little bit about it".
Of course, here, the other party can't really want to use his kung fu to deal with the enemy, more just want to be handsome.
"I have been familiar with a lot of books since a long time ago, and I yearn for the free and easy life of a knight, but unfortunately my family background is tired, and I can't realize it after all. Now that I have come out and walked on it, I can be regarded as fulfilling some of my previous wishes......"
That Yang Gongzi sighed like this, while riding a horse, he gently stroked the sword in his hand, which was quite cherished.
"It would be even better if there was a chance that my love sword, which I had been building for ten years, could see the blade...... Hehe, it's just a joke, don't take it seriously......"
Before he could finish his sentence, he realized that he had said the wrong thing, and immediately changed the subject, with a little apology in his tone.
After all, he and the others have just set off, so this kind of talk is too unlucky.
Who wants to run into an enemy on their way?
Du Bai is not angry for this little thing, not to mention that his strength is enough to deter all Xiaoxiao, and he can also keenly perceive all the wind and grass around him, if there is really a thief nearby, he can detect it at the first time to avoid the conflict and scare his family.
Thankfully, it was very quiet and there were no special incidents.
Until he returned to Yuanyang City, he never encountered any thieves, and naturally he had no chance to give Yang Gongzi a bloody blade.
After a long time, I returned to this town after I just crossed into this world, lifted the curtain, and looked at the bustling people outside the car window, still so lively in my memory, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.
The huge Yuanyang City does not seem to have stopped running because of the lack of anyone, even the affairs of the Liu family have long passed, when the carriage drove by, you can vaguely see that the original piece of land that was burned to ruins has been cleaned up, and the foundation has begun to be rebuilt, and it is about to start rebuilding the house.
After the Su family left, the business here was still going on in an orderly manner, but it was not as popular as before, and it was even unexpectedly very low-key. This place is relatively remote, and not many people will know that the Su family has made a big fuss in Lin'an, the capital of Fucheng, and no one will guess how many times the Su family's worth has skyrocketed now.
Even when passing by on the street, it was only by chance that someone on the side of the road recognized the familiar word "Su" on the flag hanging on the carriage, and had some impressions, and read: "This seems to be the carriage of the Su family!" ”
"It turned out that someone from the Su family came back?"
"Tsk, I haven't seen it for a long time, I heard that I went to Fucheng before?"
"Fucheng is a big place in the end, I heard that a piece of cake there costs a lot of money, and the Su family is afraid that it will be difficult to tighten it in the past......"
"It's a pity that I'm only back now, and the current Yuanyang City is not the same as before......"
Although the words of these passers-by were very slight, they were still heard by Du Bai, and they only smiled faintly at this.
He naturally had some understanding of the current situation in Yuanyang City.
Compared with the situation of the "three major families" that were quite powerful at the beginning, the Liu family was left with only a group of relatives and children after a fire, and the trees were scattered and useless. And the Su family, as the second child, went to Fucheng to develop, and there was not much news.
Now only the Sheng family is left here, but the Sheng family itself does not like to be in the limelight, and they prefer to work hard in the officialdom with a palace background.
So now, more than a dozen large and small families have gradually emerged in the forest, and they are like hungry wolves, competing for business and territory here.
If it is really as those passers-by said, the Su family returned here in despair after the failure of the development of Fucheng, then I am afraid that they will really face the embarrassing situation of having a tiger in front and a wolf in the back, and it will be difficult to return to the top.
But who can know that now the Su family's vision has long since cared about this small place in Yuanyang City?
When the carriage finally stopped slowly in front of the door of Nasu Mansion, many servants who had already received the news immediately rushed up, either to carry their luggage or to welcome the return of their masters.
And the few monsters that Du Bai had arranged to guard here before were also very happy, and they had been waiting for Du Bai to be rewarded for their merit for many days.
Du Bai was also quite satisfied with the performance of these monsters, and simply teaching them a few more esoteric spells was enough for them to be overjoyed.
Looking at their treasure-like looks, he roughly estimated that if he wanted to really understand these spells with their Taoism, it was estimated that it would not be possible for ten or eight years, and it was just right for them to continue to work for themselves.
When this place is arranged, Wan Miao has not forgotten the etiquette, and plans to visit the elders here with some gifts.
After all, the Su family took root in Yuanyang City, and some intricate relationships are unavoidable.
And Du Bai was fine for a while, so he planned to go with him, leaving Yue Ning and Su Zhirou and others to rest in the Su Mansion for the time being, to relieve the fatigue of the long journey along the way.
The visit was also warmly received. Although they haven't seen each other for nearly half a year, these friendships have never been weak, not to mention that the Su family's "skinny camel is bigger than a horse", who will show their faces?
Several old friends of the old man Su were also very concerned about the recent situation of the Su family, and asked about the business with concern, and said with some concern: "If you really run into walls everywhere in Fucheng, it doesn't hurt, it's a big deal to come back to this Yuanyang City, although it is a little smaller than Fucheng, but it is still our one acre and three points of land, with the help of a few of our old immortals, the Su family will not really fall." ”
They probably thought the same as the passers-by, but they really cared and wanted to help.
After getting Wanmiao's refusal, she still felt a little regretful, and she still didn't believe in the "current situation of the Su family" in Wanmiao's mouth, thinking that this niece might be comforting herself and others.
Wanmiao didn't force her to defend anything, but just smiled gently: "Then you might as well sell a pass first, and after you see the gift from your niece, you should understand......
"Gifts?"
The elder glanced at the small gift box next to him with some confusion.
Having lived so long, he has never seen anything! I just saw that it was not large, and it didn't look like something particularly valuable, so I didn't really care. It wasn't until Su Wanmiao said that she really looked at it with her eyes, and she was a little curious, planning to take it apart after they left later.
Let's see what kind of guanzi is sold inside!
When Wanmiao and the two walked out of the mansion together, she felt that the burden on her shoulders seemed to be lighter, and she smiled lightly and turned her head to look at Du Bai who was walking side by side, and a little warmth slowly flowed through her heart.
"What's wrong?" Du Bai noticed her eyes and asked softly.
"It's nothing ......" Wan Miao shook her head lightly and looked up at the sky, "The elders have already finished visiting, but according to the rules, we still have to go to the county government and visit the county magistrate......"
What she was thinking about was that although the county order could no longer control their Su family to a certain extent, since the roots were here, they couldn't ignore the other party.
Du Bai nodded: "It's okay, there are two more gifts just prepared, so let's send one." ”
At first, I prepared a few more copies for insurance and safety, and this is when it came in handy.
However, what was a little surprising was that when the two of them came to the county yamen in a carriage, they found that a carriage had been parked here.
"Already have guests?" Wanmiao lifted the curtain and glanced at it, a little hesitant, "Why don't we come back another day?" ”
"No need. It's not a big deal. Du Bai comforted her and held her palm, "It's just an ordinary gift visit, and it's not a big business matter." If it's inconvenient, just put it down and leave, but you can't reach out and hit the smiling face? ”
"Hmm." Seeing that he had decided, she couldn't refuse, so she nodded lightly and agreed.
After they explained their intentions to the official guarding the gate, they were a little surprised to see the official's unusual and arrogant posture, but he bent down slightly and said to them very respectfully: "It turned out to be the two members of the Su family!" The county magistrate has already ordered the small one, if the two of them come over, they don't have to report it, just go in! ”
Du Bai and Wan Miao couldn't help but glance at each other when they heard this, and smiled knowingly.
"It turns out that the county magistrate has already guessed that we will come. If we don't come, I'm afraid I'll feel a little uncomfortable......"
