Chapter 4 Autumn Leaf Castle
Red Leaf City, located in the northwest border of the Tianxiang Kingdom, belongs to the jurisdiction of Xijun Prefecture.
Momiji Castle is very small, with a population of only about 300,000. Surrounded by mountains, in late autumn, the maple leaves on the mountain are like fire, as if they want to dye this castle in the same color, and the red leaf city is also named after it. More importantly, its geographical location is the closest town to the "Black Abyss" Demon Beast Mountain Range, which is no more than a hundred miles away. Warriors, mercenaries, and adventurers who go to the Black Abyss Demon Beast Mountain Range ...... They will stop in the Red Leaf Castle to purchase enough supplies and make the final preparations before entering the mountain. Those returning from the mountains will also stay for a few days to recuperate and recuperate.
The flow of people goes back and forth, businessmen gather, and the red leaves city is becoming more and more prosperous. Restaurants, inns, shops in nine streets and eighteen lanes, flourishing to the extreme.
One city and two mansions support the core lifeblood of the entire city. Yifu is located in the center of the city of the city lord's mansion, is the Xijun Prefecture special dispatch of the long-term residence of the local government, the city lord, the son inherits the father's business, it has lasted for several generations, many years of painstaking management, its foundation is deep and no one can shake. The other mansion is located in the east of the city, which is surrounded by mountains and rivers and covers a wide area. There are more than 10,000 disciples in the family, and its background is enough to compete with the city lord's mansion. Fortunately, these two provinces have a deep relationship, and they have a deep friendship for several generations from their ancestors. They took care of each other and supported each other, and achieved the hegemony of the two governments in Red Leaf City, causing all the forces in the city to bow down one after another.
At dusk, a dusty caravan slowly drove towards the door of the Lu Mansion, and went straight to the open gate as if no one was there. The guards on both sides were about to shout, and as soon as their eyes touched, they immediately withdrew their feet that had just walked, stood straight and straight, and let the caravan pass through the door.
The sun sets in the west, and the smoke curls. The huge Lu Mansion seemed quite quiet, and the caravan drove on the bluestone paved road for half an hour, turning left and right, and only meeting a few hurried clansmen along the way. On the way, Uncle Hai asked the four guards to go back first and report to his family that he was safe.
As soon as the caravan stopped in front of an imposing mansion, a red shadow suddenly appeared in the door, and a petite girl in a red dress stood in front of the car, standing on tiptoe and looking left and right in the tent behind the car, and her little eyes rolled wildly.
"Uncle Hai, where's my second brother?...... The little girl blushed and asked anxiously.
Uncle Hai jumped down from the wheel, dusted off his body, and squeezed his eyes at the little girl, "Second young master, I'm home" The car curtain opened softly, and a young man in Tsing Yi stepped out of the car door slowly, raising his eyes and looking around.
The little girl jumped in front of the boy around Uncle Hai, grabbed the boy's hands, and excitedly shouted, "You are the second brother?...... Are you my second brother?" Lu Suifeng was flustered, when did he have another third sister? It was quite well-behaved and cute, and there was a burst of warmth in his heart, which was a long-lost blood and family touch.
"Are you the third sister?" Lu Suifeng stroked the little girl's head with a deep pity.
"My second brother is back...... My second brother is back...... The little girl jumped up, shouted for joy and ran excitedly towards the mansion.
Looking at the cheerful figure of the little girl, a relieved smile appeared on her face. Uncle Hai smiled knowingly, the power of blood and family affection is indeed great enough. I have never met, and I don't need to say much, but my heart is very close.
"My second brother is back...... The little girl's delicate voice echoed over the mansion.
The silent mansion suddenly became noisy with the voice of the little girl, and Zhang Baisheng's faces poked out from all corners, men, women and children, with different expressions, curious, shocked, confused, and disdainful......
"Is this waste still alive?" "Why are you coming back! It's embarrassing and conspicuous!" "Bear with it! At most, it's only a year's worth of work." "I heard that this terminal illness will not live to be thirteen years old. "Brother Suifeng will definitely die!" "What do children know, don't talk nonsense!" "Alas! this child is so unfortunate!" .........
In the Lu Mansion, this second young master is regarded as an alternative legend, and at the same time a shame for the entire family. It is also the object of ridicule and ridicule of the clansmen after tea and dinner.
〃 Wind ...... In the inner hall, the head of the family, Lu Wanxiong, hugged Lu Suifeng tightly, and looked at it for a while: he was a little thinner, but he was also refreshed, not as if he was sick and dying. There was a little relief in the rolling of old tears. In fact, the head of the Lu family is not as old as he seems, with a tiger-like appearance, and he is in his early forties. It's just that there are a few deep wrinkles on the forehead, which doesn't match the age.
With so many relatives around him, Lu Suifeng couldn't get used to it for a while, and looked at the people around him blankly, smiling stupidly.
"Don't hurry up and call Dad!" a young man beside the head of the Lu family urged in a deep voice. There is a bit of similarity between his appearance and Lu Suifeng, but his mouth is a little thinner, and he looks a little frivolous and frivolous.
"Oh! this is your eldest brother, Lu Changfeng!" The head of the Lu family rubbed his tearful eyes, pulled the eldest brother Lu Changfeng to him, and smiled comfortably, "When you left, you were only three years old, and you didn't have much impression of your eldest brother, and your brothers will be close to each other in the future!" Looking at the always calm face of the eldest brother, Lu Suifeng barely squeezed out a smile, which can be regarded as meeting each other.
"After a tiring journey, it's time to wash away the dust and rest...... Big brother Lu Changfeng reminded.
"Yes! I forgot about it with such pleasure. The head of the Lu family patted his head, and then ordered: "Take your second brother to clean it first." Lu Hai: Later, you will take the second young master to the Houshan Courtyard, where the environment is very quiet, and it is a good place to recuperate. The two brothers both exited the inner hall and walked on the corridor, the eldest brother Lu Changfeng saw that there was no one around, leaned sideways to Lu Suifeng and said coldly: "You really shouldn't come back!" Hearing this, he stopped and looked at the eldest brother who had just met with a puzzled expression, although he was not a fellow mother, but he also had the same blood, how could he say such indifferent and indifferent words.
"Don't look at me with such innocent eyes! You are not only a natural waste, a disgrace to the family, but also an out-and-out dead star. Not only did he kill his biological mother, but as soon as he came back, he killed the two elite guards of the family for you. Lu Changfeng was disdainful, and said in a gloomy tone, "I asked Uncle Hai to know what happened on the road, and Uncle Hai almost took his life this time." I really don't know what kind of trouble it will bring in the future. From incomprehension to confusion, and then to coldness, Lu Suifeng has a deeper understanding of this world. Blood relatives are still so cold and unkind, and the outside world must be even colder and colder.
"Big brother...... Although Lu Suifeng was deeply chilled by this big brother, he didn't want to collapse the relationship at first sight.
"Don't, I'm not your big brother, I'm the young patriarch of the family, respectful and orderly, don't be close to me in the future." Otherwise, don't blame me for not knowing my six relatives!" Lu Changfeng said viciously, reaching out to put it on Lu Suifeng's shoulder, and shook his strength.
"Ah...... Lu Suifeng screamed softly in pain.
"What's wrong!" the head of the Lu family in the inner hall asked when he heard this.
"It's nothing, the second brother accidentally stomped!" Lu Changfeng let go of his hand and turned his head in response. Then he leaned over again, almost touching Lu Suifeng's face, "Remember! The back mountain is your territory, don't come out and run around if you have nothing to do." If you bump into me, you won't have this kind of good luck next time. "Uncle Hai has been reborn since he swallowed the second young master's elixir, and his whole body is full of qi and flowing. After a long journey along the way, I didn't feel tired at all. At this moment, he was leisurely sitting on the wheel outside the mansion, waiting for the second young master crankily.
"What happened to the second young master in the ten years of the Medicine Valley? The entire Red Leaf City is afraid that it will not even be able to see a single second-grade pill. And...... He thought about the terrible man in black again, and remembered the sword that chased the soul and killed him, and he couldn't help but feel chills in his vest, and the palpitations remained. The words of the people of the Medicine Valley secretly escorting people are just covering people's eyes. It can be concluded that there was only the second young master in the car at that time, under what circumstances did he break his sword and escape with the man in black in the middle of his breath? The gap here is like mud. But no matter how you look at it, the second young master is only a thirteen-year-old boy, and it is difficult for his delicate body to connect with a hidden master. There's a chance to test it...
"Uncle Hai!" Lu Suifeng walked out of the door of the mansion.
"Hehe, Second Young Master, get in the car, I'll send you to the Houshan Courtyard. Uncle Hai laughed.
"Do you still want to take a car?Is the Houshan Courtyard far away?" Lu Suifeng sat next to Uncle Hai and asked.
"The Lu Mansion occupies 10,000 acres of land, and it will take at least two or three hours to go to the Houshan Courtyard. Uncle Hai explained while catching the car. "Although it is a little out of the way, it is quite suitable for you to live in the second young master, so as not to live in the mansion and be looked down upon all day. I, Lu Hai, am a bright-eyed person, how can your second young master be a fish and shrimp in the pond, and sooner or later he will be able to turn into a dragon and take off. Don't forget to mention your Uncle Hai at that time. Haha!" "Uncle Hai has been very protective of Suifeng since he was a child, and Suifeng has never forgotten it for a moment. Come up the hill in a few days and I'll surprise you. "The memories of his childhood, the relationship he has come to these days, Lu Suifeng has a heartfelt feeling in his heart, and he will definitely return to Taoli if he has the opportunity.
"Okay! "Phew!" the car stopped at a stone staircase.
In front of him, a thousand-meter-high mountain forest suddenly stood tall, standing proudly like a lone peak in the huge land mansion, and the momentum was magnificent. Even though it's early winter, it's still lush and green, with a stone staircase leading to the top.
The two climbed the stairs and walked a hundred steps, and the mountain gradually became steep. The pace under Uncle Hai's feet was constantly accelerating, and from time to time he glanced at the second young master beside him, still following his side without delay. The breath is even, and the shoes are light and steady. Uncle Hai suddenly accelerated the speed of his travel, and the other party seemed to be unaware, and he always walked side by side with him like a cloudy cloud, with a light and breezy face.
Fast... Faster... There was wind under Uncle Hai's feet, and he swept towards the peak like a galloping wind, and the scenery on both sides was quickly left behind......
