Chapter 20: Homecoming

Located in the northernmost part of the Zhao Kingdom, adjacent to the Great Enemy of the Zhao Kingdom, the Blood and Sweat Kingdom, Blackwater City is an important military fortress where the Zhao royal family has sent an army to garrison it all year round.

However, although Blackwater City is on the border of Zhao, due to its natural military barrier Blackwater River, the Bloodsweat Kingdom has to give up invading Zhao from Blackwater City, indirectly preserving the residents near Blackwater City.

Heishui River, the third largest river in Zhao State, has a total length of 2,700 li, the widest part reaches 20 li, and the narrowest point is only four or five li.

Wooden boats cross the river, dotted with them.

Ye Jian led the black wind horse, standing on the bow of the boat, his eyes jumped, where is there a magnificent city, boxy, with a high watchtower erected in the middle, which can be seen clearly from a distance of ten miles.

"I haven't been home for two years, and I don't know what happened to the Lu Dao family now?" Ye Xuan stood aside, looking at Blackwater City in the distance, and the past was full of things in his eyes.

"Let's hope it's all right. Ye Jian sighed secretly, his mood when he went home this time can be imagined, he has fused the soul of the original owner, it can be said that he is no longer that person, but after returning to Blackwater City, he has to call the middle-aged couple in the city parents, Ye Jian has been an orphan since he was a child, and he has never seen his parents.

As soon as he thought of meeting his parents in this world, Ye Jian felt inexplicably nervous in his heart, and his fists were clenched, directly sinking into the flesh.

"When you go back this time, don't worry about Ye Tang and them anymore. Seeing Ye Jian's clenched fists, Ye Xuan thought that Ye Jian remembered that he had been insulted by Ye Tang and others in the family before, and was ready to take revenge, and said with some concern at the moment.

She didn't know how strong Ye Jian's strength was now, but she knew that the common encounter in the early stage of the Dao Condensation Realm was to die at his hands, if Ye Jian went back to retaliate this time, I am afraid that few people in the entire Ye family would be able to stop him.

"As long as they don't take the initiative to provoke me, I am still very reasonable. The corners of Ye Jian's mouth lifted slightly.

When Ye Xuan heard this, she sighed slightly in her heart, she knew that Ye Jian would not listen to her, after all, what Ye Tang and they did was indeed a little excessive.

The boat soon docked, Ye Jian took the black wind horse, and then directly threw a piece of silver ten taels to the boatman.

"Guest, don't have much. The boat family is an honest middle-aged man, and he said immediately after taking Ye Jian's silver taels.

"You take it. Add some new clothes to your home. After Ye Jian finished speaking, he stepped directly on the horse and walked away.

"What a good person!" Until Ye Jian's figure completely disappeared into the distance, the boatman still held the silver two and looked into the distance, muttering in his mouth.

......

After being confirmed by the guards of Blackwater City, Ye Jian and the others entered the city.

The prosperous scene in the city was completely different from what Ye Jian had in his mind, three spacious bluestone avenues stood side by side, and nine small paths traversed the avenue, dividing the entire Blackwater City into a nine-square grid pattern.

There are many buildings and pavilions, and the scale of construction seems to be disorganized, but in fact, there is a meaning.

All the buildings in Blackwater City were built according to the scale specified by the Feng Shui master, and the exact situation goes back thousands of years.

"Alright, let's separate here. Ye Jian grabbed the reins, turned his head and said to Ye Xuan beside him.

"It's okay," Ye Xuan nodded lightly.

Although Ye Jian also belongs to the Ye family, Ye Jian is only a branch of the Ye family, and there are more than 100 branches of the Ye family, with a total number of thousands of people.

Therefore, only the main family lived in the Ye Mansion, and as for the divisions, they were scattered all over the Zhao Kingdom, and most of the small branches like Xiang Ye Jian settled in Blackwater City.

After saying goodbye to Ye Xuan, Ye Jian followed the route in his memory and drove his horse towards the 'Ye Ji Hotel'.

......

Yip Kee Hotel is a small two-storey hotel that attracts many customers due to the owner's business and the hostess's excellent cooking skills.

On this day, a young man riding a tall horse came from the door of the hotel, the young man was delicate and resolute, and his body revealed a fierce atmosphere.

"Less... The young master is back. In the hotel, a young man about twelve or thirteen years old, with big eyes and thick eyebrows, stammered and shouted towards the inner hall of the hotel after seeing the teenager at the door of the hotel.

For a while, all the diners in the entire hotel were attracted by the teenager outside the gate.

"It's... The young man was wearing the costume of Nan Luo Zong. Among the diners, some people immediately recognized the boy's costume.

"That's right, it's indeed the costume of the Nanluo Sect, it's strange, the Ye family doesn't seem to have this number one person to worship the Nanluo Sect?"

......

Many people all had strange expressions, staring at the teenager who was walking in step by step.

In the inner hall of the hotel, four figures ran out quickly, led by a middle-aged man in blue who was almost forty years old and had two mustaches.

Standing next to the middle-aged man in blue was a beautiful woman in her thirties, who had never looked away since she saw the boy in the store, and her clear eyes were flashing with tears.

"Dad!"

Ye Jian hurriedly stepped forward, knelt directly in front of Ye's father and Ye's mother, and kowtowed three times, and it was a matter of course, not at all as restrained as he had imagined before.

"Quick... Get up. Mother Ye's tears flowed down, and she hurriedly helped Ye Jian up, while Father Ye on the side patted Ye Jian's shoulder and gritted his teeth, "In the past few years, I have suffered you." ”

Everyone knew that Ye Dao was very excited.

The news that Ye Jian became an outer disciple of the Nanluo Sect has been informed to Ye's father and Ye's mother, but for his son whose soul has been weaker than others since he was a child to become an outer disciple, Ye's father and Ye's mother know that Ye Jian must have suffered a lot.

"Fu Bo!" Ye Jian wiped his tears and shouted at a middle-aged man about forty years old behind Father Ye.

Fu Bo, formerly known as Ye Fu, is the only domestic servant in Ye Jian's lineage, but because he grew up with Ye's father since he was a child and is loyal, he was not regarded as a servant in Ye Jian's family.

"Young Master!" Fu Bo looked at Ye Jian with a kind face, and the deep wrinkles interpreted Fu Bo's contribution to Ye Jian's family.

"When I come back this time, I must repay Fu Bo well," Ye Jian felt a faint pain in his heart, and said secretly in his heart at the moment.

"Young Master!

Before Ye Jian could speak, the twelve or thirteen-year-old boy beside Fu Bo jumped and shouted.

"Chubby, how did you lose weight in the past two years?!" Ye Jian half-jokingly.

In fact, Ye Xiaopang, although his name is Xiaopang, he is not fat at all, and Fu Bo chose this name for his son at the beginning, just to hope for something better.

"Young Master, you're joking with me again. Chubby scratched his head and smiled.

"Okay, the children are back, go to the back hall, what's the point of standing here. Mother Ye was excited and urged Father Ye beside her.

"Yes, yes, yes. Father Ye then remembered that everyone was still in the lobby, and there were more than a dozen tables of diners sitting around. At that moment, he said to many diners who were looking dazed, "Everyone, I'm sorry, my son is a little excited to come back today, so you can see the joke." In this way, each table will send another dish for free, and everyone will eat and drink well,"

Father Ye is worthy of being proficient in business, and a casual little calculation won the hearts of everyone.

"Where, Boss Ye's family is reunited, congratulations. ”

"Yes, yes, I wish Boss Ye's family a reunion. ”

......

For a while, the crowd of people eating in the lobby congratulated.

"Rejoice and rejoice!" Father Ye just responded one by one, and then took Ye Jian's hand and walked towards the inner hall.

In the hall of the inner hall, Ye's father and Ye mother sat on the head, Fu Bo stood aside, as for Ye Xiaopang, someone needed to greet him in the front hall, so Ye Xiaopang volunteered to stick to it.

Ye Jian stood at the bottom and recounted his experience, and every time he talked about the twists and turns, he would always attract a burst of worry from Ye's father and Ye's mother.

"Jian'er, what kind of cultivation are you doing now?" Father Ye, who was sitting at the top, suddenly asked.

"The seventh level of martial arts. Ye Jian replied.

"In just one month, you have improved your strength to the seventh level of martial arts?" Father Ye was shocked, and even Fu Bo on the side opened his mouth in surprise.

"So your soul is much stronger?!" Father Ye was still a little unsure, and hurriedly asked at the moment.

Mother Ye on the side saw Father Ye talking about the soul, her face suddenly sank, and she said, "The child just came back, why don't you ask this?"

Father Ye also seemed to be aware of his mistake, to know that the soul was naturally weak, but Ye Jian's hard wounds.

"I accidentally ate a spirit grass, and when I woke up, I found that my soul was much stronger. "Ye Jian naturally wouldn't say that he had fused the soul of the original owner.

This soul fusion is inherently strange, and the soul is directly related to the cultivation talent of the martial artist, if he says it, won't he attract the power of all parties.

Ye Jian didn't want to make trouble for himself, he had already completely forgotten about the soul fusion in his heart.

"Hahaha, okay, God bless me Ye Jian. Father Ye's expression was obviously a little excited, that is, Mother Ye and Fu Bo on both sides were sincerely happy for Ye Jian.

"Okay, the child is tired enough to travel for such a long time, let him go and rest first. Ye Mu was on the side, even if he mentioned it.

"Yes, yes, yes. After hearing this, Father Ye nodded again and again, and said to Ye Jian: "Jian'er, you go down to rest first, tonight, we will have a reunion dinner." ”

Ye Jian nodded at the moment, bowed to Ye's father again, and walked to his room under the pull of Ye's mother.

"Jian'er, my mother has already asked Aunt Chun to clean up your room, and my mother will take you there. ”

"Xie Lu, Xie Niang. Ye Jian was held by Ye Mu's arm, and a trace of warmth suddenly appeared in his heart.

The two of them walked down the corridor and quickly disappeared around the corner.

It wasn't until the figures of Ye Jian's mother and son completely disappeared that Father Ye withdrew his gaze, his eyes lit up, and his expression looked a little excited.

"Master, the young master can have this opportunity, this is the good fortune of our lineage. Fauber stood aside, his face flushed, and his heart was equally excited.

"Yes, yes. Ah Fu, you're right. Father Ye's eyes suddenly moistened, "I didn't expect that our branch and descendants could have this talent, it's really endless." ”

"Master, the young master is amazingly talented now, but it's better to hide some of them, don't be calculated by them again. Ah Fu said this, his eyes suddenly sharpened.

"I'm afraid I can't hide it. Father Ye sighed secretly, and his expression changed instantly, "Ye Xuan is with Jian'er, and he knows everything about Jian'er, I'm afraid that most of the people in the clan know the way." ”

"But fortunately, Jian'er now has the identity of a disciple of the Nanluo Sect, so forgive them and don't mess around. ”

"It is indispensable to guard against people," Fu Bo reminded, "or take out that thing and give it to the young master, so that with the young master's qualifications, he must be able to understand the mysteries." ”

"Well, I don't need you to remind me of this. ”

......

In the hall, Father Ye and Fu Bo continued to discuss some things, but no one knew what they said next.

......

At night, Ye Kee Hotel closed early, because Ye Jian came back, Ye's father and Ye mother arranged a reunion dinner.

Mother Ye cooks by herself, a table full of delicacies, Ye's father and Mother Ye live in the first seat, Fu Bo and his daughter-in-law Aunt Chun sit down separately, Ye Jian and Xiaopang are the youngest, and sit at the bottom.

The family is reunited, eating and laughing at the reunion dinner, this kind of warm feeling, Ye Jian has never experienced before.

At the same time, in the exquisite and luxurious Ye Mansion, there was also a table of such meals.

A middle-aged man with an elegant and handsome face sat on the first seat, and below him was a beautiful woman.

The women bowed, Ye Jing, Ye Ying, and Ye Xuan sat separately, and there were maids next to them who kept adding food and wine, and the whole atmosphere seemed a little restrained.
