The Zhennan General's Mansion is located in the north of Qujiang City, close to the Imperial Palace.

Yuan Ming walked all the way under the escort of the city guards, the people on both sides gradually retreated, and on the side of the wide road, the luxurious mansions were sparse and scattered, and everything was the same as what Yuan Ming saw when he possessed Wang Shun.

In the distance, a five-story eight-story eight-treasure blue-gray tower appeared in Yuan Ming's field of vision, and his impatient mood also became apprehensive.

Suddenly, the city guard in charge of the guard paused, Yuan Ming subconsciously raised his head, and saw many people standing in front of the gate of the mansion not far away.

Led by a man and a woman, the man was tall and straight, standing motionless like a stone monument in a town, but his temples were pale and his eyes were foggy.

The woman's grace and luxury, her face was like a hibiscus out of water, but her clothes were wet with tears, and she couldn't cry when she saw Yuan Ming. Yuan Ming felt as if his throat was blocked, his eyes were suddenly blurred, and his lips squirmed for a long time before he made a somewhat hoarse sound.

"Father, mother, the child is back......"

Hearing Yuan Ming's voice, his mother couldn't hold back her emotions anymore, walked forward quickly, and hugged him tightly: "Ming'er, my Ming'er is finally back, let my mother take a good look." ”

Yuan Ming felt the warm embrace he had not seen for a long time, and at the same time looked at his father.

The father, who had never smiled in his memory, wiped his face and walked to Yuan Ming's side at this time, and said with relief: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back." ”

Seeing this scene, Fu Qing, who was standing on the side of the guard, and his soldiers were all embarrassed, and his mother's personal maids were even more crying.

"Okay, madam, Ming'er finally came back, don't let him stand outside all the time." Yuan Zuochong patted Yuan Ming's mother's shoulder.

Hearing this, Yuan Ming's mother finally stopped her tears, and Yuan Zuochong also gave a look to the side, signaling the maids to bring her and Yuan Ming into the mansion.

Then, he summoned Fu Qing and turned his head to look at the guards who were escorting Yuan Ming all the way: "Thank you brothers for escorting my son back, Fu Qing, give each of them ten taels of silver, and prepare some for the city gate." ”

Hearing that there was money to take, these goalkeepers were very grateful.

On the other side, Yuan Ming was dragged into the general's mansion by his mother, only to see an open courtyard behind the mansion gate.

At this time, almost all the servants and maids in the entire general's mansion gathered here, looking at the young master of their own family, but the feelings of curiosity and expectation could not be hidden.

Yuan Ming's eyes swept away, and he saw many familiar faces in the crowd, and Wang Shun was also impressively listed.

As if sensing Yuan Ming's gaze, Wang Shun subconsciously looked over.

Yuan Ming was relieved in his heart, remembering that Wang Shun raised horses for himself in the past, and the relationship between the two was good, and he had seen the situation in Fuzhong with his eyes, so he winked at him and nodded.

Wang Shun was stunned for a moment, and then showed a flattered expression, Yuan Ming stepped forward and gently patted Wang Shun's shoulder, remembering the situation when he possessed Wang Shun, Yuan Ming smiled and continued to walk forward with his mother.

The two of them walked all the way to the north of the courtyard before stopping, and at this time, Yuan Zuochong also followed, stood beside Yuan Ming, let him face the many servants standing below, and gave him a look.

There was a heart between father and son, Yuan Ming suddenly took a step forward and cleared his throat.

Looking at those who knew, not the miscellaneous servants, Yuan Ming said loudly: "Raise your heads, you guys."

You should also know that more than three years ago, Yuan unfortunately lost southern Xinjiang, and now he is favored by God, and it is a great joy to return by luck and see his parents again. ”

"In order to celebrate, Yuan announced that no matter how big or small the miscellaneous servants in the house are now, they will be rewarded with one or two, and this year's annual reward will be increased by three percent!" Suddenly, the servants in the courtyard were boiling, and their hearts, which were already jubilant because of Yuan Ming's return, were even more excited, and there was a little more undisguised enthusiasm in the eyes that looked at him.

"Thank you, General, Congratulations Gongzi!"

In the chorus of the servants and maids, Yuan Ming smiled and waved his hand, turned around and entered the house with his parents, leaving them excited, and bringing the entire general's mansion into celebration.

……

Inside the house, his mother pulled Yuan Ming to sit down, touched his face, and shed tears again: "Ming'er is strong, but it's dark, my mother can't recognize it, how much suffering you have suffered in southern Xinjiang." ”

Yuan Ming choked up a little, but he couldn't bear to let his mother worry: "It's okay, mother, I'm fine, besides, I'm not back?" ”

The mother wiped her tears, still distressed: "My hair is messy, I used to be taken care of by my mother, where would it be like this." As she spoke, she suddenly ordered her subordinates to bring a bronze mirror, and pulled Yuan Ming to recomb his hair and tie his hair.

Yuan Ming couldn't resist her, so he could only sit obediently in front of the bronze mirror and be at the mercy of his mother.

Compared with three years ago, his mother had lost a lot of weight, and there were some fine lines on her forehead and eyes, and the white hair on her temples was more than she had seen when she possessed her father last time, and the tears on her cheeks had not dried up, but at this moment, there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, as if she could comb her son's hair, what a happy thing.

The father also stood silently, he looked at Yuan Ming, with an extremely complicated look on his face, as if he was relieved, but also distressed, or self-blame and worry.

Soon, his mother helped Yuan Ming comb his hair, he stood up a little embarrassed, and at the urging of his mother, he reluctantly turned left and right, showing his current appearance to his mother.

"Ming'er has grown up." Yuan Zuo said.

Mother nodded, but her eyes suddenly fell on Yuan Ming's clothes.

She took a few steps forward, touched the corner of Yuan Ming's clothes with her hand, and suddenly said urgently: "This is the clothes that Ming'er bought in Southern Xinjiang?" This kind of inferior material, where have you worn this kind of clothes before! No, the new clothes are ready, so I'll find someone to get them. ”

Yuan Ming stopped her with a wry smile: "Mother, don't bother, I'm used to wearing this clothes." ”

"You kid, how can you wear these clothes out to meet people, listen to your mother, don't play tricks."

Mother said, and counted down again: "At that time, I advised you not to go on an envoy, you insisted on going out to make meritorious contributions, but you suffered in southern Xinjiang. When I was a child, I said that there is more than one sect in the world, and your grandmother's sect is not bad, let you take the white jade ring passed down by your grandmother, but you don't want to, if you go, you won't suffer this disaster. ”

Listening to his mother's verbosity, Yuan Ming always had to reply a few words in the past, but today's mother's nagging is particularly kind.

At this time, Yuan Zuochong suddenly coughed twice: "Let's talk about these things later, madam, you haven't recovered from your illness these days, go and rest first, let me talk to Ming'er alone." ”

"Mother, how are you?" Although he possessed his father last time, Yuan Ming knew that his mother was sick, but he didn't expect that after so long, he hadn't recovered.

"Don't listen to your father's nonsense, my mother is fine."

was interrupted by Yuan Zuochong, the mother finally stopped counting, although she still wanted to talk to Yuan Ming more, but she also knew that her husband must have something important to talk to Yuan Ming, so she didn't stay long, and after briefly telling Yuan Ming a few words, she got up and left.

Seeing this situation, Yuan Zuochong glanced around, and said, "You all go down first, Fu Qing, you take someone to guard outside, don't let people in." ”

Seeing that what he was about to say was so secret, Yuan Ming's heart sank, and he didn't know what had happened in the capital during this time.

When everyone else left the house, Yuan Ming released a soul crow to monitor the entire palace, and Yuan Zuochong was slightly surprised when he saw it.

"Listen to Fu Qing, Ming'er, your strength is far better than him?" Yuan Zuochong asked. Hearing this, Yuan Ming smiled slightly, turned his hand and took out the Cold Star Sword, urging the ice runes on it, and suddenly the extremely cold air was permeated, and the temperature in the room suddenly dropped a lot.

At the same time, he summoned the Blue Cloud Crane, causing it to stand still in the house.

"Father, please see, this is the magic weapon and flying spirit pet that the child obtained in southern Xinjiang, and it is with them that the child can return to Dajin." Yuan Ming said so, his cultivation at the moment was hidden by the Tibetan Yuan Technique, and he only showed the level of around the middle of the Qi refining period.

Yuan Zuochong is also a person who knows goods, and when he saw these two things, his eyes flashed: "Yes, it seems that Ming'er has another creation in Southern Xinjiang, and with this sword and crane alone, he is not your opponent for his father." Good, good wow! ”

As the Zhennan general of the Great Jin Dynasty, Yuan Zuochong is naturally also a cultivator, and his cultivation is much higher than Fu Qing's, but he is only about the seventh level of Qi training.

"Ming'er, the secret letter you entrusted Fu Qing brought back, my father has already read it, in the past three years, you have really suffered, but it's a pity that now that the situation in the DPRK and China has changed, you can't even help your father avenge you." Yuan Zuochong sighed.

Yuan Ming was puzzled: "Why did my father say this?" ”

Yuan Zuochong shook his head: "Lin Junsheng is now a disciple of Changchun Guan, and the Lin family is now valued by the Eight Emperor Uncles, so they have gained power and gradually controlled the dynasty. ”

"I remember, Lin Junsheng is almost the same as my qualifications, why did Changchun Guan accept him? How is Your Majesty now? Yuan Ming asked suspiciously.

Yuan Zuochong explained: "Things have to start with the mission, after you disappeared, Lin Junsheng took the initiative to make the decision, and continued to send the envoy to southern Xinjiang instead of you, and when he came back, he relied on his envoy skills, and he found a way out of nowhere, and directly worshiped the Changchun Temple, as for Your Majesty, he has been obsessed with cultivating immortals over the years, and gradually ignored political affairs, and gave all government affairs to the Eighth Emperor Uncle, and the Lin family got a chance." ”

Yuan Ming recalled that the little emperor Liu Tianming set foot in the immortal road because the incense he used for the first time was the original black incense, and I am afraid that in addition to being able to control his actions, the effect of his thoughts was not small. And the current situation between the DPRK and China, in the final analysis, still has something to do with him.

Yuan Zuochong didn't know Yuan Ming's thoughts, and still sighed: "Speaking of which, I also chose to assist Your Majesty because of the entrustment of the first emperor......

……”

After a pause, he continued: "As a result, I received your secret letter and learned that Lin Junsheng had harmed you, I thought about dealing with him, but he was already a disciple of Changchun Guan, and he usually closed his door, alas...... Opportunities are hard to find. ”
