Chapter 1149: Jin Peng Zuo's Family
The Kingdom of Jinpeng is located in the south of the United Empire of Thomathiesen, due to the changeable natural environment and complex geographical landforms within its territory, it has created the characteristics of rich products and fierce people, and is a 'fighting country' with rich reserves and brave and good at fighting.
Once valued by the United Empire, it has been solicited many times with the intention of being included in the territory of the United Empire and becoming a new member of the United Empire, but it has been rejected. There have even been incidents in history when the United Empire was about to send troops to fight, but the Kingdom of Jinpeng rose up to resist, and after several tentative border encounters, as well as the strategy of 'merging' alliances with the rest of the independent kingdoms, it successfully consolidated its rule and survived outside the empire.
Among the nations of the world, the Kingdom of Jinpeng is a maverick and fierce character. And because of the rise of the evil ancestor more than 100 years ago, the Jinpeng Kingdom, as the "hometown" of the evil ancestor, once became the focus of discussion from all sides, but they sternly refused to cooperate with the evil ancestor, and they were not destroyed by the evil ancestor, which was regarded as a miracle, and it was also the place where the evil ancestor did not touch, once again making the 'Jinpeng' a topic of conversation in the leisure of various countries.
The Zuo family, which has the bloodline of Lingyu, has an extremely noble status in the Jinpeng Kingdom, and its ancestor is respected by the whole country as the 'Heavenly Sage', and he receives the title of 'Sage' in the realm of semi-saints, which is enough to show his infinite respect and the royal family's importance to him.
The Heavenly Sage has been in retreat for many years to comprehend the martial arts, and only under special circumstances will he be invited by the royal family to go to the royal city, but many of the elders of the Zuo family have served in the palace, ranking in the position of powerful ministers, or ministers and strategists, with the secret technique of 'spiritual language', they have brought a lot of convenience to the royal family and have been respected!
The Chamber of Commerce run by the Zuo family also has an important seat in the Jinpeng Kingdom, and its shop branches are spread across more than ten ancient cities, with a high reputation.
In short, the development of the Zuo family in the Jinpeng Kingdom was extremely rapid, and its business and political circles each had high prestige, and the development trend of prosperity made the family Antai rich.
It is one of the three major families of the Kingdom of Jinpeng.
But......
In the past year, the Zuo family has not been stable, and the members and servants of the family are trembling, and they dare not make too many mistakes. The Saga family even offered a sky-high bounty of millions of gold coins to the Mercenary Guild.
One qiē is because of the disappearance of one person - Zuo Agarwood!
She is the eldest lady of the Zuo family, the most favored daughter of the contemporary family, and the most valued heir of the Heavenly Sage.
But such a noble lady is missing!
The cause of the incident was an ordinary merchant shipment.
In fact, she shouldn't have been accompanied by Agarwood in person, but she was very interested in the family business, and she wanted to experience all aspects many times, so she automatically asked for escort. Because of the noble status of the Zuo family in the Jinpeng Kingdom, the Chamber of Commerce team has never been hijacked, so there is no too grand guard.
Outcome......
The entire escort team disappeared inexplicably, leaving only shocking blood on the scene.
Since then, the agarwood has evaporated in the world and has never appeared again!!
The Zuo family even suspected that it was the enemy's doing, and the Heavenly Sage personally came forward and entrusted the ancestor of the kingdom to investigate strictly, so that it triggered a large-scale raid in turmoil for half a year, which made many forces panic.
But......
I checked it too, and I tried my best to check it!
The bounty was also distributed, and the sky-high price of millions of gold coins attracted mercenary forces and killers from the entire kingdom and surrounding kingdoms to frantically pour into the place of the incident.
It's all not a little bit of gain.
In this way, things continued for a whole year, and the family spent a lot of manpower and material resources, and the result was disappointment, disappointment, and disappointment.
Zuo Agarwood's mother, that is, the wife of the Zuo family, lost weight three times, and she was about to cry and be blind.
The Heavenly Sage even canceled his own two-thousand-year-old birthday feast!
After experiencing this incident, people clearly realized the status and influence of Zuo Agarwood in the Zuo family, but feeling the long-lasting boredom of the ancestors, the entire Zuo family was covered with layers of gloomy atmosphere, and they have been working hard to track it down.
Jinpeng Kingdom!Eastern Forest Domain, Heavenly Whispering City, Zuojia!
"Madam, eat something, if you continue like this, your body will not be able to stand it. ”
"Madam, the master will be back soon, if I see you now, I will definitely feel distressed, how much porridge can you drink?"
In the 'Deer Garden Flower Garden' of the Zuo family's mansion, several delicate maids were holding some worried soup, softly comforting a haggard woman, that is, the eldest lady of the Zuo family.
The eldest lady's face was yellow, holding her daughter's previous clothes, and she fell on the rattan chair in despair, staring blankly at the garden cultivated by her daughter in front of her, except for the faint sigh, it was endless sadness. As for the outside world, she has completely ignored it, and only cares about immersing herself in her own world.
The maids were all anxious, but there was really no way, and they didn't dare to say too loudly, so they could only stand anxiously.
It didn't take long for an elegant and handsome middle-aged man to arrive under the guard of a group of guards, it was Zuo Xuanyi, the head of the Zuo family today, who had just returned to the family after finishing his business.
"Sir. The maidens all bowed down, and the guards around the garden fell to one knee respectfully.
"What's wrong with Madam? Didn't I leave well? It's only been less than a month, how can it be like this again?" Zuo Xuanyi walked into the bamboo pavilion, his brows furrowed, and he felt distressed when he looked at his wife's current appearance.
The maids knelt on the ground in fear: "The lord atoned for his sins, and the lady was already in a much better mood, but the weather suddenly turned cold the afternoon before yesterday, and the lady passed by the flower garden, and remembered the young lady again, so she kept thinking about sending a warm dress to the young lady, and she didn't eat or drink for almost three days, and the slave maid really had no choice." ”
Zuo Xuanyi sighed secretly, quite helpless. personally took a bowl of gruel, walked up to his wife, and persuaded softly: "Agarwood has been blessed since childhood, and it has been 'blessed' by the royal sacrifices. You should eat something first and take care of your body, otherwise when Agarwood comes back, how sad it will be to see you like this. ”
The eldest lady held the splendid clothes in her arms, staring at the garden blankly, her chapped lips twitched slightly, muttering something silently, but the outside world could not attract his attention.
Zuo Xuanyi waved his hand to signal the maids to step back, and patiently accompanied his lover: "I went to the general association this time to check the accounts, and by the way, I met with the heads of the Killer Guild and the Mercenary Guild, and raised the bounty to two million gold coins, and also specifically noted that any useful clues can receive ten thousand gold coins." The amount is a rare high price, and I believe that as long as the agarwood is alive, it will definitely be found. ”
The eldest lady was still immersed in her own consciousness and did not listen to any words.
"According to rough estimates, there are already almost forty mercenary teams and hundreds of killers, all of whom are tracking down the whereabouts of Agarwood. ”
Zuo Xuanyi persuaded softly, but the eldest lady was still silent.
All the maids felt distressed.
"What a sin. Zuo Xuanyi sighed helplessly and put the gruel aside.
"Master!" a guard walked quickly into the pavilion of the garden and said softly, "Ancestor heard that you have returned, so he asked you to come over." ”
"What's the matter?"
"The subordinates don't know, but maybe it's still about the eldest lady, he wants to ask if there is any progress. ”
Zuo Xuanyi rubbed his head sadly, his face was full of exhaustion, and he waved his hand weakly: "Tongbing Ancestor, I'll go over immediately." ”
The guards inside and outside the garden unconsciously lowered their heads and sighed with them, it has been a year, and the disappearance of the young lady has really made the head of the family miserable, not only to take care of the business, but also to comfort his wife, and to bear the reprimand of the ancestor, people have lost a lot of weight.
"Take care of Madame, who let her drink this bowl of porridge and get seriously injured!!" Zuo Xuanyi lowered his voice and ordered the maids, tidy up their clothes slightly, and cheer up to visit the ancestor.
But at this moment, there was a hysterical scream from the main entrance of the family in the distance, causing a sensation in the large and peaceful manor-like family group.
A strong man rushed into the door of the mansion in a rampage, rolling and crawling, excited and excited, shouting around like a headless fly: "Master! Master! Great joy! !!Miss is back!!Miss she is back!! Master, Miss is back!!"
Boom!! The astonishing news was quickly transmitted, attracting the attention of people in various courtyards, and one after another the figures rushed out of their own doors.
"What?!" In the garden within the family, Zuo Xuanyi got up, his eyes trembled, and he pricked up his ears to listen.
"Xiang'er?" the eldest lady came back to her senses in a trance, and let out a faint hoarse murmur.
"Let's take a look!!" the guards outside the garden rushed out with lightning speed.
A moment later, two warrior-level guards rushed into the garden escorting the strong man who had been announced.
The strong man didn't have time to salute, his face was flushed, he was excited, he rushed into the garden, trembling and shouting: "Master!! It's Miss! Miss is back! The subordinates found Miss at the city gate, it's true, it's Miss!!"
