Chapter 517: Return to the Cloud Sky Continent
The peaceful and tranquil Yuntian Continent, the Xixue Empire, which has long been unified, under the governance of the new emperor Nangong Qi, the country and the people are safe, there are no more disputes and wars, and there is a thriving appearance.
Stepping on the ground under my feet, a mood called homesickness arises spontaneously.
Originally the capital of the West Snow Country in Jiacheng, it has long been renamed the Imperial City of the Wind City, the cars and horses are noisy, and most of the people have a rich smile on their faces, it seems that the war a few years ago did not affect the people in the West Snow Imperial City at all!
I don't know if that's the case anywhere else.
In front of the Zhongyong Mansion, which is always a high-ranking official and rich family, the half-white old housekeeper sent away a military official who had come to visit today without success, and was about to turn around and go back to the house, when he was suddenly stopped by a childish and beautiful voice.
"Grandpa housekeeper, is Brother Lixiang at home?"
Butler grandpa? Except for the naughty daughter of the shogun, no one has called him that for many years!
The old housekeeper was nostalgic, and walked out of the house again, and suddenly saw a tall and handsome young man leading a beautiful girl of eleven or twelve years old on the crowded street, and the girl looked very similar...
The old housekeeper recalled, looked at it again, but found that there were still some young men and girls at the door, rubbing his eyes vigorously, and wondering if he was really in time to retire, otherwise, more than ten years later, how could he still see the smart and cute naughty ghost back then?
The old butler lamented that he was old and useless, and walked into the house.
He didn't know that at this moment, the two people who just thought it was an illusion happened to be in the study of Zhongyong Gonglixiang, like wandering in a no-man's land...
"The young master is back?" As soon as the old housekeeper walked into the courtyard, he heard the movement behind him, and turned around with a surprised smile.
"Uncle Li, is your mother okay?" With a dusty and tired male voice, the old butler stepped forward to take the medicine handed to him by the cold man, and replied, "Madame is still like that, two days ago..."
Walking all the way into the study, the old housekeeper still couldn't help but want to say a few more words to this young man who had fallen out of favor since his master died for no reason two years ago, and the eldest lady in the palace fell out of favor and became more and more quiet and silent.
He couldn't help but sigh again, if the ghostly Miss Mu hadn't left, the young master should have married and had children like ordinary people, instead of being forced like now...
Ay! The old butler sighed softly behind him, and went to prepare hot water and meals with the medicine bag.
"What people! Dare to trespass..." As soon as he entered the study, he felt the breath of a stranger inside, and Li Xiang reacted quickly, but before the long sword at his waist could be drawn, he was pushed back into the scabbard and unloaded another dagger that he casually pinned to his waist.
Li Xiang was startled, then calmed down, and immediately launched an offensive with his rock-steady legs and feet.
However, what he didn't expect was that before he could exert force on his leg, he was intercepted by the man who knew in advance which leg he was going to come out of first!
Li Xiang was so shocked that he was covered in a cold sweat, and before he could think about which force sent the killer, he was interrupted by a girl who had been familiar with her for more than ten years, but was as immature as yesterday.
"Brother Lixiang, I haven't seen you for several years, you don't even know me?" Youfeng teased and raised his eyebrows, clutched his chest, and looked at the young man whose face was now more and more cold and calm with a hurt face.
"You..." Hearing this title, Li Xiang's whole body stiffened, as if he had been struck by lightning, and he looked down in disbelief at the eleven or twelve-year-old girl who was only at his waist, and his grim expression was long gone, and some were just trance-like unreality.
"Brother Lixiang, don't you really remember me? It's only been a few years? ”
"......" Lixiang was speechless......
Seeing that this huge surprise had almost turned into a fright, Youfeng stopped joking with him, returned the long sword to him, tilted his head like when he was a child, his dark and clear eyes blinked slyly, and his eyebrows and eyes were crooked with a smile, "Brother Lixiang, I'm back!" ”
…………
Outside the study, the old housekeeper knocked on the door with a food box and walked in, looked strangely at the furnishings around him that had obviously changed greatly, and his own young master who was sitting in a daze in the guest position, and said in a low voice, "Young master, let's eat something first!" ”
The old housekeeper was not only puzzled about the study furnishings, but also why his young master hadn't visited his wife for more than half an hour, and looked at Lixiang hesitantly, but suddenly found that his young master didn't have a cold face, but was a little too excited.
I don't know what he was still thinking at the moment, the old butler had to interrupt him, "Young master, eat quickly, Madame called you over just now!" ”
Li Xiang came back to his senses, and his relaxed and smiling face suddenly returned to a cold appearance, and he shook his head at the food handed by the old housekeeper, "Has my mother taken the medicine?" ”
"Just take it!" The old butler nodded, a worried look appeared on his wrinkled face, and he stopped talking.
"That's good!" Lixiang was still immersed in the reunion with the old man just now, and his heart was excited, and he rarely ignored the sadness and melancholy of the old butler.
"I'm going out, I don't have to wait for dinner!" After Li Xiang finished speaking, he forgot to bring his long sword, and hurriedly went out, as if to meet someone very important.
In the Imperial City of Windy City, the most famous restaurant is the food taste pavilion that can be called the restaurant in the state banquet.
Since five years ago, the prices around Shiweixuan have risen rapidly, becoming the most prosperous area in the imperial city.
I don't know if the boss behind the scenes is too good at business, or the background is too strong, no matter who the Chinese people are, they are proud to live in this restaurant, and have never heard of anyone making trouble here.
When Youfeng and Nangong Yehua walked in, they felt the service attitude of a super five-star hotel from that world.
It seems that she has not been in the past few years, they have not slackened at all, and they are very dedicated! Youfeng sighed slightly, and was about to go upstairs, but was preempted by a woman with a beautiful color.
"Who dares to rob the way of this county lord?"
As the words fell, the whip waved, and the whirring whip fell on the railing of the staircase where the wind took a step, leaving a clear crack.
