Dawn City, the capital of the Dawn Empire, was originally not on the planned route, but after Murong Ye knew that Ouyang Mingli was from the Ouyang family in Dawn City, he asked Ouyang Mingli if he would stop by and go home to have a look.

Ou Yangmingli hesitated for a moment, quietly glanced at Han Yuli, and finally agreed.

Han Yuli noticed Ouyang Mingli's gaze and did not raise any objections, she didn't care if she didn't take a detour. She knew very well in her heart that with Ou Yangmingli accompanying her, it would be difficult to encounter any crisis that could endanger Murong Ye.

A few days later, Murong Ye and the others successfully came to the east gate of Dawn City, and before they could enter the city, a team of 100 people greeted them.

"Welcome back to the house!"

A hundred people knelt down on one knee towards Ou Yangmingli, their faces full of awe and adoration.

Ou Yangmingli pulled his horse out of the crowd, and his face was no longer the signature smiling expression and looked very flat. He sat upright on his horse and his gaze swept over the hundred.

"Get up!"

As soon as Ouyang Mingli's words came out, a hundred people stood up neatly after bowing, and their movements were uniform, and they looked well-trained.

Ou Yangmingli didn't speak, and rode his horse with an expressionless face and walked towards the Dawn City.

Murong Ye, Han Yuli and the others followed, and the hundred people who came to greet them escorted Ouyang Mingli and Murong Ye and their party in the middle.

The group entered Dawn City in a mighty manner, and the guards guarding the city not only did not have the slightest intention of hindering them, but even saluted Ouyang Mingli respectfully.

When they entered the city, not only the patrolling defenders but also the passers-by actually bowed to Ou Yangmingli. It can be seen from this that Ou Yangmingli's prestige in Dawn City is great.

Murong Ye only knew that Ouyang Mingli was a member of the Ouyang family in Dawn City, but he didn't know what the Ouyang family represented, let alone what status Ouyang Mingli had in Dawn City.

Looking at it now, Murong Ye realized the extraordinariness of Ouyang Mingli and the Ouyang family.

Han Yuli was expressionless with the same style as Ou Yangmingli the whole time, and Murong Ye was not sure if Han Yuli knew about Ou Yangmingli's situation or just didn't care.

Ouyang Mansion was located in the inner city area close to the Imperial Palace, and the mansion was actually larger than the Murong Mansion and Qingyang City Royal Mansion in Dongfang City.

After entering Ouyang Mansion, Ouyang Mingli settled Han Yuli and Murong Ye and others in the courtyard near his residence, and left with a blank face on his back.

A middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper was waiting outside the courtyard gate, and as soon as he saw Ou Yangmingli coming out, he greeted him, and took the package that Ou Yangmingli was carrying.

"Welcome home!"

Ou Yangmingli was silent for a moment, and asked in a deep voice, "Is my father in the mansion?"

The housekeeper replied, "Master Hui, the master wanted to wait for you to come back at home today." However, yesterday the Eighth Prince and the Twelfth Prince jointly sent an invitation, and the master couldn't push it and could only go to the banquet. ”

Ou Yangmingli sneered and said disdainfully: "After so many years, the fourth prince is still so unwise, as soon as he heard the news that I am coming back, he can't wait to let the two of his followers invite his father to dinner, isn't he afraid of being criticized by His Majesty?"

Ouyang Mingli is the second personal disciple of Si Yijian, and the eldest son of the Ouyang family, one of the strongest families in the Dawn Empire, and his attitude is particularly important to those princes and grandsons who have thoughts about the throne of the Dawn Empire.

However, because Ouyang Mingli had the nickname of cold-faced killing gods in Dawn City, those princes and grandsons who had ideas did not dare to find Ouyang Mingli directly, so they hit Ouyang Mingli's father with their ideas.

The housekeeper looked around and found that there was no one nearby, and said with a solemn face: "The eldest young master doesn't know, His Majesty has the intention of establishing a crown prince a few days ago, so the princes and grandchildren in the imperial city are inevitably anxious. This time, it was not that the four princes were willing to make a head bird banquet to invite the master, but that the princes and grandsons of almost all factions sent invitations openly and secretly. It's just ......"

The housekeeper paused when he said this, carefully checked Ou Yangmingli's expression, and then gritted his teeth and continued: "It's just that the fourth prince sent someone from Madame's mother's family to come forward, and the old man couldn't bear to make it difficult for Madame to reluctantly agree to go to the banquet." ”

"Humph!"

Ou Yangmingli snorted coldly, his face becoming more and more cold. Obviously, he doesn't have a good impression of the so-called "lady".

The "lady" mentioned by the housekeeper is the wife of the head of the family, that is, the current wife of Ouyang Mingli's father, the head of the Ouyang family.

Ou Yangmingli's mother was his father's first wife, and the head of the family was his father's second wife. His biological mother died of frail health shortly after giving birth to him.

"Although Your Majesty is nearly seventy years old, he is strong and ambitious, and with His Majesty's character, he will definitely not set up a prince now. The news of the establishment of a crown prince may not be a temptation from His Majesty. You remember to remind your father not to take the team lightly. ”

The housekeeper's expression was dazed, and he replied respectfully: "Yes, eldest young master." ”

The housekeeper looked at Ou Yangmingli's expression again, and then asked cautiously, "Madame is waiting for you to have dinner in the main hall, do you see?"

Ou Yangmingli didn't stop, walked in the direction of the courtyard of the second young master of Ouyang Mansion, and said lightly: "You sent someone to tell that person that you don't have to wait, I want to eat dinner with my companion after seeing the second brother." ”

Ou Yangmingli actually used "that person" to refer to the wife of the head of the family, and it is not difficult to see that he no longer has a bad impression of the wife of the head of the family.

The second young master of Ouyang Mansion is called Ouyang Mingxin, who is the child born to Ouyang Mingli's father and the wife of the head of the family, that is, the half-brother who is more than ten years younger than Ouyang Mingli.

Although Ou Yangmingli hated the wife of the head of the family, he loved Ou Yangmingxin very much. Every time he returned to Dawn City, the first thing he did was to visit Ou Yangmingxin.

The housekeeper's face was a little pale and said, "Second Young Master, I am also waiting for you in the main hall!"

Although the housekeeper is considered a powerful figure in Ouyang Mansion, he is extremely afraid of Ouyang Mingli. His fear level was far greater than that of Ouyang Mingli's father, the head of the Ouyang family.

Ou Yangmingli stopped when he heard this, his brows furrowed obviously, he paused and turned around and walked in the direction of the main hall.

Seeing this, the housekeeper finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly followed.

Ou Yangmingli walked into the main hall, his eyes swept over the thirtie-year-old wife of the head of the family who was sitting on the main seat, and then fell on the ten-year-old Ou Yangmingxin, who was sitting with his head bowed and sitting under his wife, and finally showed a smile on his face.

"Mingxin!"

Ou Yangmingxin, who was looking down and pitiful, jumped up directly as soon as he heard Ou Yangmingli's voice, he quickly ran to Ou Yangmingli's side, and suddenly threw himself into Ou Yangmingli's arms.

"Big brother, you're finally back. You haven't come back for so long, I want to go to Si Jianfeng to play with you, but my father and mother said that it was too far, so I didn't agree to let me go!"

Ou Yangmingli rubbed Ou Yangmingxin's head and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few years, you have grown into a big boy." ”

Ou Yangmingxin raised his head and said coquettishly: "Big brother, I will be sixteen in a few days, and I will be a man soon, don't treat me as a child anymore." ”

"Yes, yes, Mingxin is a man. ”

Ou Yangmingli smiled and stretched out his hand to the butler, and the butler hurriedly handed the package in his hand to Ou Yangmingli.

"Mingxin, these big brothers are gifts for you, you can come and see. ”

"Thank you, big brother!"

Ou Yangmingxin exclaimed happily, couldn't wait to open the package, and couldn't help but be more and more happy after finding the exercises, gems, daggers, horse whips and other dozens of items he liked in the package, and smiled sweetly at Ou Yangmingli.

"Big brother, you're so nice!"

Ou Yangmingli smiled and asked, "Mingxin, have you fallen behind in your homework and cultivation?"

Ou Yangmingxin replied like a child waiting for praise: "No, I can work hard! My homework has been praised by the teacher many times, and I have already cultivated to the early stage of the master, big brother, do you think I am powerful?"

Ou Yangmingli rubbed Ou Yangmingxin's head again to show his praise, and said with a doting smile: "Well, it's amazing, Mingxin is the most powerful!"

After talking to Ou Yangmingxin for a while, Ou Yangmingli pulled Ou Yangmingxin to sit down in the seat where the wife of the family was in charge.

At this time, the lady sitting on the upper hand looked at Ou Yangmingli and said lightly: "It's rare to come back once, stay longer, right?"

Ou Yangmingli carefully tidied up the folded clothes for Ou Yangmingxin, and replied lightly without raising his head: "I'll leave tomorrow." ”

"In such a hurry?"

"Go to the Eastern Empire. ”

The conversation between Ou Yangmingli and the wife of the family head ended dryly, and the main hall suddenly fell into a low air pressure. Seeing that the two of them were silent, Ou Yangmingxin and the housekeeper both lowered their heads in awe, and no one dared to speak rashly.

Ou Yangmingli stood up after eating a few bites, he patted Ou Yangmingxin on the shoulder and turned around and walked out of the main hall, without saying a word to the wife of the family master during the whole process.

Seeing Ouyang Mingli leaving, Ou Yangming hurriedly finished eating the rice in the bowl and stood up impatiently.

"Mother, I'm done. ”

Ou Yangmingxin said a word to the wife of the housemaster, and hurriedly ran out without waiting for the wife of the housemaster to answer.

The wife of the head of the family couldn't help but sigh at Ou Yangming's unsteady move, and also stopped eating.

"Who are the people who came back with the eldest young master?"

The butler who was standing on the side took a few steps forward, bent down and replied, "Mrs. Hui, there are a total of forty people who have come back with the eldest young master." One person is a mediocre-looking woman in her thirties, who should be Han Yuliang, the senior sister of the eldest young master. The other person is a fourteen or fifteen-year-old white-haired boy, according to the information, he should be a mysterious master in the late stage of the grandmaster, and the specific origin is now unknown. The remaining thirty-eight people in black robes could not see their faces and genders, but the intelligence indicated that these people should be subordinates of the white-haired boy. ”

The wife of the head of the family frowned and thought for a while, and asked, "The eldest young master said that he was going to the Eastern Empire, and the only thing related to the eldest young master in the Eastern Empire is the Murong Ye of the Murong family, right?"

The housekeeper heard the deep meaning of the housemaster's words, and thought for a moment: "Exactly! However, Murong Ye should only be eight years old now. Even if this white-haired young man used exercises to disguise his appearance, he couldn't fake the realm of the late stage of the grandmaster, after all, he had personally fought with several martial artists in the late stage of the grandmaster, and even killed a bandit leader in the late stage of the grandmaster. ”

The housewife's brow furrowed even deeper.

"You should also know the news from Dongfang City, it is said that when Murong Ye was attacked by the Xu family design before, he was supported for a long time under the attack of the early martial artists of the Great Grandmaster. It can be seen from this that even if this Murong Ye's cultivation is not as good as the late stage of the Grandmaster, it is not much the same. ”

The butler looked a little incredulous. "Didn't the master conclude that the news was specially released by the Murong family in order to build momentum for Murong Ye? At the age of eight, no matter how strong his cultivation talent is, it is impossible to become a powerhouse in the Grandmaster realm!"

The lady of the house sighed and didn't say anything more, but her expression was still very solemn. Her mind kept recalling Ou Yangmingli's terrifying cultivation speed......
