Chapter 106: The city is still the same, the house is still the same, and there is one less person
Six years is a long time, but everything seems to be yesterday, and the previous events are still very clear, as if imprinted in the mind.
The emperor of the Great Zhou is not a simple character, a simple character will not take a fancy to Mo Qingdi at a glance, and put down his identity to communicate with him, and finally harvested the true friendship of Mo Qingdi, with the support of Mo Qingdi, plus he himself was already very city and strategic, directly pressed several equally amazing royal brothers and brothers in the past to raise their heads, and finally directly won the throne of the emperor.
This emperor is different from those monarchs in history who have a strategy and a city, he not only does not suspect the heroes, but rewards the heroes lavishly, I heard that in order to give Mo the enemy the king, some old people of the royal family quarreled, almost fought, and finally both sides gave a step, Mo light the enemy can not be crowned king, but all the treatment is according to the standard of the prince.
And at the beginning, he almost got married to the little girl who followed his ass, if it weren't for his father saying that his mother was not around, he couldn't do it alone, and he would be a colt now.
The two walked into the pickaxe capital, which was extremely prosperous.
Many pedestrians on the street are wearing weapons, the Great Zhou Dynasty established the country with martial arts, you can't wear swords at the city gate, no one cares about you after entering the city, and you can often see warrior duels in the city.
In short, you don't want to destroy the buildings in the city, don't hurt innocent people, no one will take care of you, the city defense battalion won't take care of it, the Gyeonggi Yamen won't take care of it, and Your Majesty in the palace won't care about these little things.
Mo Bufan was not in a hurry to return to Dingguo Houfu, he had been waiting for six years, and he was not in a hurry at this time.
At night, the city of Ho is very lively, the streets are full of lights, and the Ho Kyo shines as if it were day, and the streets are full of people and everyone is smiling.
Young men walked down the street in groups of three, and their laughter echoed in the street.
The old man lay quietly on the bench, looking up at the starry sky, so leisurely.
The men and women who stopped in front of the stall exchanged gifts with each other, and the lights and the night sky became a testimony of their love.
A swordsman in a green shirt with a sword at his waist, his hair fluttering in the night wind.
At the beginning of November, it was winter, but it was still hot, and the women dressed very simply, or coolly, whenever they met a woman who looked amazing in cool clothes, there would always be a burst of exclamations.
There are businessmen from all over the world in the restaurant watching the stars and drinking, and the music in the restaurant sounds, sometimes soothing like spring water, sometimes rapid like a rushing waterfall, sometimes beads falling on the jade plate, sometimes whispering and whispering.
The most prosperous and prosperous city of the Great Zhou, there is no one, the center of the country, the most powerful and powerful people in the whole country are concentrated here, here is the place where geniuses gather, it is the paradise of the strong, it is lively and exciting, the whole pickaxe capital is peaceful and joyful, this interprets all the beauty of the world.
Ah Lian followed behind Mo Bufan obediently at the beginning, walking in the sea of lights and crowds, and the expression on her face could be seen that she was a country girl who had never seen the world.
Then walking, Mo Bufan intentionally or unintentionally took her to the edge of those stalls, although Ah Lian practiced swords for a month, her heart has been greatly improved, but she used to live on the border, and then although she lived in Tiandong City for more than two months, but more than two months is too short, there is still a month in sword practice, not to mention that many things in the imperial city have not been seen in Tiandong City.
Just ask if there is a girl who can resist the temptation when she sees these good-looking and fun things for the first time, this is fortunately Ah Lian, if it is Mo Xiaoqing, as long as she has money, she can buy all the stalls on this street.
Mo Bufan walked very slowly, because every time Ah Lian saw something new, she would stop and stay for a while, her eyes full of curiosity and like.
Mo Bufan didn't blame her, but helped her buy everything she liked every time, without stinginess, he and Ah Lian have been together for so long, it seems that he has never seriously accompanied her to go shopping, these things in Tiandong are all done by sister-in-law and Xiaoqing, and they will do it themselves in the future.
After buying too much, Ah Lian was also very embarrassed, but it was difficult to resist the temptation of these novelties, so she had to forcibly stop the curiosity in her heart and urge the young master to leave quickly, if she didn't leave, she really couldn't resist.
Mo Bufan accelerated his pace under Ah Lian's urging, all the way through the streets and alleys, because it was too lively and there were too many pedestrians, it took the two of them half an hour to squeeze out of the crowd, and it took a cup of tea to finally come to the door of a luxurious house.
The top of the crimson paint gate hangs a golden silk nanmu plaque, and the four big characters of 'Dingguo Marquis Mansion' are vigorous and powerful. There is a huge stone tablet on the left side in front of the door, the four big characters of "the pillar beam of the country" dragon flying and phoenix dance, the inscription of the plaque is the teacher of Mo Qingdi, the old lady of the Great Zhou Dynasty mentioned, the word on the stone tablet is mentioned by the old emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Mo Bufan thinks that he is an ordinary person, so it is normal to have a feeling similar to that of being close to home.
"Young Master, what's wrong with you?" Ah Lian looked at the change in Mo Bufan's expression, it was very complicated, she didn't understand, and asked directly.
"Nothing, let's go inside."
Mo Bufan cleaned up his mood, took heavy steps, and came to the gate.
After knocking on the door, an elderly man came out.
The old man's face was weathered and wrinkled, his two small eyes were a little cloudy, the skin of his hand by the door was wrinkled like the bark of a pine tree, his hair and beard were gray, and his body was a little stiff.
"Who are you looking for?" The old man's voice was hoarse and deep.
"Grandpa Fu, I'm Xiaofan!" Mo Bufan said in a slightly crying voice, and then looked at the elderly man in front of him.
The old man was like an electric shock, the pestle remained motionless in place, only his eyes looked Mo Bufan up and down, and after a long time, the small eyes gradually widened, and the cloudy eyes became energetic.
After observing dozens of breaths, Grandpa Fu seemed to have finally determined Mo Bufan's identity.
"Are you Xiaofan? Are you really Xiaofan? Grandpa Fu's voice was a little excited, a little trembling, and still a little incredulous.
After six years, Mo Bufan has changed too much, he has grown a lot taller, his face has changed, and he has suffered great changes, the innocence and optimism on his face no longer exist, replaced by fortitude and decisiveness, but his eyebrows and eyes can vaguely be as simple as when he was a child.
"It's me, Grandpa Fu!" Mo Bufan was also very excited, six years ago, Grandpa Fu was still old and strong, but now he has become like this, like a candle in the wind.
"Come in, come in!" Grandpa Fu pulled Mo Bufan with trembling hands.
Mo Bufan stepped into the familiar and unfamiliar Dingguo Marquis Mansion again, and his heart was infinitely emotional.
"Grandpa Fu, don't tell anyone about my return, it's late, go and rest!" Mo Bufan said.
Grandpa Fu is the old man of the Mo family, although the cultivation is not high, but there is a very good way to the mansion, after Mo lightly sealed the enemy, he specially returned to the Mo family to bring Grandpa Fu to the pickaxe capital, after the accident of the enemy, the Dingguo Marquis Mansion is taken care of by Grandpa Fu, and Mo Bufan respects him.
The Dingguo Marquis Mansion used to be a spare Hou Mansion, so the scale is very large, 240 meters wide from east to west, 400 meters long from north to south, the establishment time is less than 50 years, the building layout in the palace is regular, the craftsmanship is excellent, the attic is staggered, and it perfectly shows the glory and wealth of the royal family.
Although Mo Qingdi is a marquis, except for the title, everything else he enjoys is the standard of the prince, and few members of the royal family oppose this standard, which shows the importance of the royal family to him and its status in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The mansion building is divided into three roads, each of which runs through a number of small courtyards with a strict central axis from south to north.
Because of the complex structure, Mo Bufan took Ah Lian back and forth seven or eight times before coming to his former courtyard.
This is Mo Qingdi specially given to Mo Bufan himself, it is the best courtyard in the entire Dingguo Marquis Mansion except for Mo Qingdi's small courtyard, there are attics, rockeries, and several rooms in the courtyard, each room is very large.
Mo Bufan pushed open the door of his room, the room was very tidy, everything was still the same as when he left, and even the seat of the bookshelf had not changed in the slightest.
Looking at everything in the house, the past is vivid, as if it was just yesterday, the mansion is still the familiar mansion, the buildings in the mansion have not changed, but the owner of the mansion is gone.
"Ah Lian, you will sleep in my room today, I have some things to deal with, and I will arrange a room for you tomorrow." Mo Bufan said.
Mo Bufan had just returned to the Dingguo Mansion, he had to find Wang Po immediately to understand the situation, he only had one month, and he was going to join the God of War Academy in a month, and there was no extra time to deal with complicated matters at that time.
The power of the soul was released, and the surrounding radius of two hundred meters was within the range of perception, and Wang Po and a few people were quickly found.
Mo Bufan came to the courtyard of a few people, Wang Po and a few people were drinking and eating meat in the courtyard, so unhappy, among the seven people, except for Wang Po, the remaining six people all opened up the Yuan Sea and cultivated for a great advance.
"Little Marquis?"
Wang Po faced the gate of the small courtyard and happened to see Mo Bufan coming.
"Boss, are you drinking too much and talking nonsense? The little marquis doesn't know where to practice outside! Zhang Ye hugged the wine jar and said.
Although he is in the realm of Huayuan, he still treats Wang Po as always, calling him the boss.
"Uncles, long time no see. I am back. ”
Mo Bufan's familiar voice reached the ears of several people, and a few people reacted.
"Little Hou Ye is really you? I thought the boss was joking! ”
Several people got up one after another, very excited.
Mo Bufan motioned for a few people to sit down, went over himself, moved the stone pier and sat down, picked up a piece of barbecue meat in one hand, lifted a jar of spirits in the other, took a sip of meat and a sip of wine, drank with a few people, chatted, and there was no rustiness.
A few people are not restrained, although they are a master-servant relationship on the surface, but the little marquis has never regarded them as servants, during the spring hunt, everyone also eats meat together like this, chatting and bragging.
Mo Bufan told about his fight with demon beasts in the primeval mountains, how to save Ah Lian at the border, and how to kill Black Armor at the border.
It's all the truth, but a lot of extremely important things are hidden, and the fewer people who know about those things, the safer they are.
In the past few hours, several people have eaten and drunk enough, and the cowhide has blown enough, and they have each returned.
Mo Bufan came to his father's former courtyard, climbed to the highest attic of the Hou Mansion, looked at the Hou Mansion, then looked at the Imperial Palace, and finally looked at the entire Imperial City.
The imperial city is still prosperous, and the Dingguo Marquis Mansion has not changed, but with one less person, these have changed in Mo Bufan's heart.
