The next morning,

Xu Lancai left Sun Fuzhong and returned home.

When he returned to the house, his mother Yan Yu had already woken up.

It's just that the mental state is not very good,

All Xu Lan could do at this time was to comfort her and not worry too much.

"Mother, my brother should return to the house tomorrow."

Xu Lan sat next to Yan Yu and said softly: "When the time comes, he will take care of me at home, and I will go to Kyoto with confidence." ”

"Lan'er, leave this matter to the yamen and them."

Yan Yu held his son's hand and said, "If you have any more three long and two short, how will I face the ancestors of the Xu family when I go down in the future?" ”

"I don't worry about them."

Seeing this, Xu Lan said: "Even if something really happens to my father, I will find out." ”

Although he instinctively thought that his father was still alive, he still prepared for the worst.

"And this time I didn't go alone, the head of the Sun family walked with me."

Then Xu Lan added: "Her cultivation is second only to the Five Realms, so there shouldn't be much of a problem." ”

"That's it, you're ready."

Yan Yu sighed slightly,

His son decided what he wanted to do when he was young, and no matter how much others persuaded him, he couldn't change his mind.

……

Next, Xu Lan was not idle,

Now that Yan Yu is sick on the bed, the burden of the entire Xu Mansion falls on him at once.

"This trip to Kyoto is expected to take a long time, and I need to arrange everything before leaving..."

Xu Lan thought in his heart,

Before leaving, he had to take some time to visit Ouyang's seniors.

At noon on the third day, a group of blue-robed young men appeared in front of the gate of Qingzhou City.

"It is worthy of the Great Chu Dynasty, just the city gate of Qingzhou looks much more magnificent than the Kyoto city gate of the Great Qian Dynasty."

One of the young men said heartily: "I have never heard you mention the matter of your family, is your family still a famous family in Qingzhou?" ”

"Senior brother laughed."

Beside him, a scholar wearing a square scarf shook his head and said, "My family is just a small family in Qingzhou. ”

"Don't forget the teacher's instructions on this trip."

At this time, a blue-robed woman with a long sword on her back in the crowd slowly stepped forward and said, "Especially a few of you, this is not the Great Qianhuang Dynasty, don't make trouble and make trouble for the junior brother." ”

"Senior sister, I know."

The man who had just spoken smiled heartily, "Let's go, junior brother." ”

"Well, let's go."

Xu Zhou glanced at the towering Qingzhou city wall, and his heart kept thinking.

What's going on at home?

Eldest brother, why did he send someone to rush to Daqian Academy overnight, so that he could rush back as quickly as possible.

At this moment,

The soldiers at the city gate felt extremely unfamiliar when they saw Xu Zhou and the others, so they stopped them.

Although there is an endless stream of businessmen coming and going in Qingzhou every day,

But the eyes of these soldiers guarding the city were more poisonous than the other, and they naturally could tell at a glance that Xu Zhou and the others were not businessmen.

"According to the law of Great Chu, if you want to enter the city, please dismount and be examined."

"My name is Xu Zhou, and I am from Qingzhou."

Seeing this, Xu Zhou dismounted and said politely: "These are my classmates, and I have made an appointment to visit Qingzhou together." ”

"Surname Xu?"

The soldier was slightly stunned, and asked casually, "What is the relationship between Ling and Xu Lan?" ”

"He's my big brother."

Xu Zhou was suddenly puzzled, could it be that the person in front of him was his eldest brother's friend?

"It turned out to be Xu Gongzi's younger brother, let's go in directly."

Hearing this, the soldier looked up and down,

Although Xu Zhou in front of him is far from being as outstanding as Xu Lan, his silhouette is somewhat similar.

It seems that it is indeed Xu Lan's younger brother.

"Ah, this..."

Xu Zhou reacted and thanked him again and again.

"And say that your family is not a famous family?"

The companion behind him teased: "It seems that our little junior brother's background is not simple. ”

"Senior brother, don't laugh at me."

Xu Zhou smiled bitterly,

In fact, he didn't know what was going on in his heart.

My own big brother... How do you seem to become famous in Qingzhou?

That's it, just go home.

Not long after, Xu Zhou and others appeared in front of the house.

The subordinates at the door also hurriedly welcomed Xu Zhou into the mansion after seeing him appear.

It's just that what makes Xu Zhou puzzled is that

When I went home, I didn't see my eldest brother, why didn't I even see my father and mother?

"Where's my brother?"

Xu Zhou looked at the red luan in front of him,

Although I haven't seen her, I heard others say that she only entered the Xu Mansion some time ago,

and another one named Qingluan, who is the personal maid of the eldest brother.

"Childe, he's busy, and he won't come back in a while."

Hongluan said softly,

My son-in-law has been too busy these days, and he basically has little time to stay in the house.

Today, he is going to find a trip to the Situ seniors and then go to the Wang family to inquire about the news.

If the Wang family still can't provide any clues, then it's time for him to leave for Kyoto.

"Where's my mother?"

Xu Zhou hadn't realized what was going on at home, but he just felt strange how the atmosphere at home looked so weird.

"Madame fell ill the other day..."

Then Hongluan also told the matter 1510,

After hearing this, Xu Zhou's expression changed drastically, he never thought that such a thing would happen at home during this time.

"Where's my mother?"

Xu Zhou looked anxious and asked, "What did the doctor say?" ”

"The second son is a little restless, Mrs. has just drunk the medicine and is already asleep."

Hongluan said patiently: "It is estimated that it will take a while for the lady to wake up, and it will be better for the second son to go again." ”

"Good, good..."

Xu Zhou took a deep breath, and he also knew that he was in a hurry in this situation.

Then he asked anxiously, "How is my mother now?" ”

"Senior sister, I'll bother you to help my mother take the pulse later."

Xu Zhou then set his eyes on the woman with the sword,

In a sincere tone, he said, "I don't really trust other people's medical skills..."

This senior sister of his is not only good at martial arts, but even her medical attainments are also deeply inherited by her teacher.

"Naturally, there is no problem."

The woman nodded, but after a moment's hesitation, she said, "But how does the junior brother plan to deal with this matter?" ”

Although this is Xu Zhou's family matter,

But since they were ordered to escort Xu Zhou home,

No matter what happened during the period, Xu Zhou's safety was naturally the first priority.

"No matter what, this matter will eventually be investigated."

Xu Zhou pondered for a moment and said, "My eldest brother doesn't like to practice martial arts since he was a child, and I don't feel at ease with letting him deal with these things." ”

However, just as he finished saying this, there was a laugh like a silver bell outside.

"Xu Lan, another person said that you don't like to practice martial arts since you were a child, this sentence is really the funniest joke I've ever heard in my life, there is no one."
