Chapter 3: Brothers' Reunion (I)

In front of the small door, there is a steward who is in charge of reception at the door. Seeing Zhang Wenyu coming over, he asked, "This old gentleman, who are you looking for?" Zhang Wenyu didn't speak, took out a two-inch square jade plate from his arms, and handed it to the steward. "You leave this to Mr. Guan. The steward took the jade card, only to see that the jade card was white in color and warm in hand. The front of the jade plaque has the word "Zhang" written on it, and the back is a relief of a flying tiger. The lifelike carving of the flying tiger shows that it is an extraordinary product.

Hurriedly said: "Old gentleman, please sit inside for a while, and I will go to report." ”

Liu Yu and Zhang Tianqi stood on the side of the avenue and looked at this magnificent mansion curiously, guessing who the owner of this mansion was. Zhang Tianqi said suspiciously: "Why don't I know that grandpa still knows such a person, why have I never heard him mention it?" "What kind of person is this, don't you even know? It can't be a nobleman, right?" Hearing Zhang Tianqi's self-talk, Liu Yu also thought puzzled, didn't feel that Grandpa Zhang had the aura of an aristocracy, what was going on?

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard the sound of the door opening, and saw that the tallest vermilion door in the middle was slowly pushed open, and a large group of people walked out of it, led by an old man in a gorgeous robe.

The old man was tall, and there was a look of contempt for the world between his eyebrows, and he walked forward quickly and stood in front of Zhang Wenyu. The two old men just stood facing each other, looking at each other for a long time. The old man who came out spoke first: "Big brother, I haven't seen you for ten years, you are much older, how are you doing all these years?

"It's been ten years, and in a blink of an eye, third brother, you are also much older. We haven't seen each other since the First World War, and the entire empire suffered heavy casualties in that war, and only the three of us were left of the seven brothers, although so many years have passed, every time I dream back at midnight, I am sad!" Speaking of this, Zhang Wenyu couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Big brother, we should be happy to see each other today, so don't think about these sad pasts. Don't stand here, just sit down at home and have a good talk. Seeing Zhang Wenyu's sad expression, the old man in Chinese clothes hurriedly said.

"I almost forgot about it. Qi'er, come over and see your Grandpa Guan Xingguan. Zhang Wenyu turned around and beckoned Zhang Tianqi to come over and meet Guan Xing, the old man in Chinese clothes.

Hearing grandpa's call, Zhang Tianqi and Liu Yu stepped forward, Zhang Tianqi took a step forward and bowed respectfully to Guan Xing, "Hello Grandpa Guan!"

Looking at Zhang Tianqi, Guan Xing's face showed a look of love and relief: "This is Zhong'er's son, they are all so old! Okay, good, it's really a tiger father without a dog, when you see them, you see the hope of the empire." Let's go home, and I'll take a break before I pick you up. Turning around, when he was about to hold Zhang Wenyu's hand, he saw Liu Yu on the side, "Who is this?"

"This is a young man I met on the road, named Liu Yu, who also intends to serve the country in the army. Along the way, I had a great conversation with him, and he had a lot of unique ideas and insights, so I brought him with me and waited a few days to go with Qi'er to apply for the Bokan Military Academy. Hearing Guan Xing's inquiry, Zhang Wenyu explained.

"Let's go, let's go home. Holding Zhang Wenyu's hand, Guan Xing and Zhang Wenyu walked towards the gate together. Zhang Wenyu made a gesture and motioned for Zhang Tianqi and Liu Yu to follow.

Liu Yu and Zhang Tianqi didn't dare to slack off, and walked forward closely behind Guan Xing and Zhang Wenyu. When passing through the gate, looking at this extraordinary gatehouse up close, the two of them were even more shocked, I don't know what kind of character this old man named Guan Xing is, how can there be such a huge mansion, what kind of power does this want? It seems that he has a lot of respect for his grandfather, what is going on?

Walking through the gatehouse, there is a huge wall, which is carved with the scene of the war between humans and orcs and demons, and the pictures are carved vividly, which makes people's blood boil, and there is an urge to rush up to join the war and fight. Turning around the wall is a long corridor, the corridor leads to the depths of the courtyard, you can't see the end at a glance, you don't know where it leads, and the paths lead in all directions, from the corridor to all corners of the courtyard.

The group walked along the corridor, gradually entering the depths of the courtyard, and saw only people coming and going along the way, and many subordinates were busy working. Turning around the landscape of a pond rockery, you are faced with a tall house. "What a magnificent house! so majestic! I have never seen a house like this. Zhang Tianqi said with emotion. "Yes, what kind of person is this old man Guan, who lives in such a magnificent house?" Liu Yu also sighed.

"Big brother, when I arrive, I'll rest here first, and then I'll pick you up. Guan Xing pulled Zhang Wenyu into the house and instructed his subordinates: "Hurry up and serve tea to Old Man Zhang." When they entered the house, they sat down as guests. Guan Xing first asked: "What has the eldest brother been doing all these years, there has been no news for so many years." ”

"I've worked hard for most of my life, and I'm tired, so I've been taking care of my children in the countryside and raising the elderly all these years. Zhang Wenyu said, "Now that the child is older, it's time to take him out to see the world." I don't know how the empire is doing now after all these years? Is it still difficult to deal with orcs and demons?"

"It's not the same as before, our physical condition is too poor to compare with them, and if it weren't for those commanders and powerful warriors trained by the Empire, I don't know what would have happened. Coupled with the construction of those fortresses, they can be able to stop those orcs and demons, and this is also based on the sacrifice of a large number of ordinary soldiers. It's so difficult, my three sons are all guarding the border town, and it's rare to go home all these years, and I haven't even seen a few grandchildren for a long time. ”

"It's not good for the body, and the weapon is not lethal, so it's hard. After so many years, hasn't the old ghost in Liangshan made any achievements in his research?" asked Zhang Wenyu.

"That dead ghost has been doing it for so many years and I don't know what to do, there is no progress at all, Da Yanjing has urged him many times, these days I have been running here to drink, and I have drunk a lot of my stored wine, and I don't know where to hide after drinking. Guan Xing shook his head helplessly.

"Old man Guan, what kind of weapons are our emperor [***] team using now?" Liu Yu's voice suddenly remembered. "Maybe I can help. ”

"Don't talk too casually about children, if you want Liangshan to study the way of immersion in silver for decades, it is still difficult to make a breakthrough, and how can you easily complete it as a child. Guan Xing said angrily, but looking at the person brought by his eldest brother, he didn't continue to reprimand.

Hearing Liu Yu speak, Zhang Wenyu also felt quite curious, he heard Liu Yu mention some ideas and techniques on weapons on the way, but he was not proficient in this, so he didn't talk deeply. Now I heard him mention it, so he said: "What we use now are mainly bronze weapons, swords, guns, swords, halberds, and long-range bows and arrows as auxiliary, but the range is limited, it is difficult to reach far, and it is the biggest problem to deal with the opponent's flying orcs and demons, I don't know if Xiao Yu has any good opinions?"
