As the fortress of the Celestial Empire, the city wall of Luoyun Pass is suspected of being a dragon lying on the land, and it has become the work of the Nine Men of the Mountain, and the trend of despising the world. Directly above the city gate is a stone carving, on which the words "Luoyun Pass" are carved like a samurai. Each of the four corners of the city wall has a corner platform, the southwest corner platform is circular, the other three are square, the corner platform protrudes out of the wall, and there is a corner tower that is taller than the enemy platform.

Chu Yifan stood outside the city gate, staring at the three words "Luoyun Pass", and said in his heart that one day, I will definitely return to this place! Seeing this, Nan Yan on the side said, "Brother Yifan, what are you thinking? Isn't it that you revisited the old place, which girl in the city did you think of?"

Chu Yifan came back to his senses, glanced at Nan Yan, and said, "The most beautiful girl in the world is by my side at this moment, do you still need to think about it!"

When Nan Yan heard this, his heart was like honey, his face was slightly red, and he didn't answer for a while. Ah Xiang looked at Chu Yifan viciously, snorted coldly, and said to herself: "The toad wants to eat swan meat, and he doesn't look in the mirror to see what he looks like, and he still wants to pay attention to the young lady!"

Although Ah Xiang's voice was small, it was still heard by Chu Yifan, and he chose to laugh at it! In the six years of becoming a shepherd, Chu Yifan learned to be calm, the injustice of the world, and the contempt of the world, although he was unwilling, but helpless, acceptance became the best reason he found for himself!

Just as Chu Yifan and the others were about to enter the city, a voice suddenly came from behind: "Sister Nanyan, I didn't expect to meet you here, we are really destined to meet thousands of miles!

When the three of them heard the sound, they looked back, only to see a man with a sinister smile on his face and dressed in luxurious clothes slowly approaching on horseback. Nan Yan snorted coldly, and said angrily: "Baili Weisheng, why are you everywhere?Miss Ben is in a bad mood today, don't come to mess with me!"

In Dongyi City, the four major families are Dihong, Wu, Baili, and Nan, among which Dihong is the first of the four families, responsible for the transfer of military power in the Celestial Empire, and Dihong is also the only family among the four families that has blood relatives with the Huang. The Wu clan is in second place and controls most of the power of the Celestial Empire. The Barrys were in third place and managed the treasury of the Celestial Empire. There is a saying among the people, if you want power, you should find Wuliang, and if you want to be rich, you should find Gudu. Wu Liang, the head of the Wu clan and the political official of the Celestial Empire; The Nan clan is ranked last among the four major families, and Nan Yan's father, Nan Haotian, is the magistrate of the Celestial Empire and is responsible for the implementation of all decrees. In this Celestial Empire, where officials protect each other, the decree is useless, but in Nan Haotian's eyes, the decree is as big as the sky, and it is precisely for this reason that the Nan family is excluded in the imperial city.

Baili Weisheng, the only son of Baili Gudu, is also the inheritor of the future Golden Official of the Celestial Dynasty, so this person walks sideways in the imperial city on weekdays, and arrogance is his norm.

"Which bastard who doesn't know whether he is alive or dead dares to make Sister Nanyan angry, tell me, I will let him know that some people can't be messed with!" Baili Weisheng had an expression of Lao Tzu's number one in the world, and glanced at Chu Yifan on the side with his spare eyes.

Nan Yan snorted coldly: "Brother Yifan, don't pay attention to him, let's go into the city!" Chu Yifan nodded slightly and did not speak.

Hearing Nan Yan call Chu Yifan so affectionately, the anger in Baili Weisheng's heart suddenly couldn't be suppressed, thinking about his dignified inheritance of the Golden Officials of the Heavenly Dynasty, he had never received Nan Yan's kind words, why did this mountain goods that was accompanied by beasts all day long! He quickly blocked the way of the three of them, attributed all his qi to Chu Yifan, and said: " Yo yo yo, isn't this the ninth prince in Dongyi City back then, you don't go to herd sheep and come here to pollute the air, and I don't know why General Chu gave birth to such a mountain goods as you, I think you better not enter the city, shame!"

Chu Yifan clenched his fists, although he was not lightly angry, he still said calmly: "Today is my grandmother's birthday, it is natural for me to come to celebrate her old man's birthday, you have too much to do!"

Baili Weisheng smiled: "I didn't see it, a sheep herder is still so tough, tell you, there is nothing in the world that I can't manage Baili Weisheng!

"Baili Weisheng, don't go too far!" Looking at Baili Weisheng's arrogant and domineering appearance, Nan Yan squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.

As the words fell, I saw a carriage slowly coming, followed by dozens of expressionless warriors wearing black robes and steel swords at their waists. When the carriage passed by Baili Weisheng, a voice came from the car: "Weisheng, it's time for us to enter the city!"

Baili Weisheng replied to the carriage, "Yes, father!"

Baili Weisheng followed the carriage into the city slowly, and when he walked under the city gate, he glanced back, revealing a sinister smile, as if telling Chu Yifan, your days are numbered, and as if telling Nanyan, you are the woman I fancie, no one wants to rob me!

The early morning sun sprinkles on the red bricks, green tiles and the cornices of those pavilions, adding a bit of hazy and poetic to this Luoyun City, which has been peaceful for nearly a hundred years. The three of them turned over and dismounted, in front of and behind them were faces that were either long, elegant, fresh, or sophisticated, the carriages and horses were sparkling, the flow of people was like weaving, and there was a penetrating shout of the vendors not far away, and occasionally there was a long neighing of horses, Chu Yifan felt as if he was in a colorful and rich picture.

Since entering Luoyun City, Nan Yan has not stopped, sometimes pulling Ah Xiang to look at this and that, and sometimes pulling Chu Yifan to chat with the vendors, but in the end he didn't buy anything, Chu Yifan could only shake his head and smile bitterly when he saw this, and said in his heart that this is the nature of women, even if it is a rich daughter.

As he walked, Nan Yan suddenly stopped, pointed ahead and said, "Brother Yifan, you see that there are sugar gourds sold there, do you remember, you often bought them for me to eat when I was a child!"

Chu Yifan slowly followed behind, and said in his heart that it was all when I was a child, and now I am poor and white, and I have no money to buy it for you! Soon, Nan Yan picked out the two largest strings of sugar gourds from the vendor, and handed the other string to Chu Yifan while eating, and said, "Brother Yifan, I invite you to eat sugar gourds... Eat quickly, the sugar gourd here is sweeter than that in Dongyi City!"

Looking at Nan Yan's gobbling up, Chu Yifan couldn't help laughing and said, "You eat slowly, don't choke, no one will rob you!"

Seeing this, Ah Xiang on the side snorted coldly: "Miss, you are too much to be a friend!"

Looking at Ah Xiang's bulging appearance, Nan Yan smiled: "I almost forgot about you, come, give you a string!" Between words, Nan Yan took a string of sugar gourds from the vendor and gave them to Ah Xiang.

Walking and walking, the three of them came to the outside of a large mansion, in front of the gate of the house there was a stone platform about one zhang wide, the stone platform connected the gate and the steps, and two stone lions were placed on both sides of the steps. There were two rows of receiving soldiers and a military general in armor standing on the stone platform, and at a glance it was clear that the people who lived here were either rich or noble. There is a gold plaque directly above the gate of the house, engraved with the words "Zhenyuan General's Mansion". Nan Yan playfully pointed to the house and said to Chu Yifan: "Brother Yifan, we are home!"

"Home?... Do I still have a home?" Chu Yifan said to himself.

Chu Yifan stood outside the house for a long time before following Nan Yan towards the gate, and when the three of them passed the gate, the military general smiled at Nan Yan and said, "Sister Nan Yan, I didn't see you last night, you are..."

Before he finished speaking, the general's gaze suddenly turned to Chu Yifan, and he smiled contemptuously: "Who should I be, it turned out to be the ninth brother, you don't herd sheep well on the grassland, why did you appear here?"

Chu Yifan first arched his hand to the general, and said, "Big brother, I'll come back to celebrate grandma's birthday!"

"Birthday celebrations? Do you have a birthday gift? If not, don't blame me, the eldest brother, for not allowing you to enter the door!" This military general's name is Chu Wenyuan, Chu Yifan's eldest brother, and the initiator who drove Chu Yifan out of the general's mansion six years ago. Although Chu Wenyuan is Chu Zhan's eldest son, he doesn't look like an elder brother at all, he is cowardly and incompetent, and he only talks on paper on weekdays, bluffs, and has no real skills at all. Not only that, but this person always likes to set one thing before others and one thing after others. It's just because there has been no war in these years and the world is peaceful, and such people have survived to this day.

"Brother Yifan, he has prepared a birthday gift, you see, it's in this wooden box!" Nan Yan said while pointing to the wooden box that Chu Yifan was tied behind him.

Chu Wenyuan was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Chu Yifan to really prepare a birthday gift, he first looked at the wooden box, and then reached out to get it, and said, "Come on, let the eldest brother see, what birthday gift you have prepared for grandma!"

Chu Yifan grabbed Chu Wenyuan's hand and said, "This is grandma's birthday gift, why should I show it to you!"

"Why? Just because I'm your eldest brother, just because I'm in this armor!Come on, take this kid's things off for me!" When the words fell, I saw that those soldiers were about to do it.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from inside the house: "Stop!"

When they heard the sound, they saw a man in a robe, with a long beard and gray hair, approaching. Seeing this, those soldiers hurriedly bowed their hands and said, "General!"

Chu Wenyuan smiled at the visitor: "Dad, I just want to see what birthday gift the ninth brother has prepared for grandma, and I don't mean to bully him." ”

The person who came was Chu Yifan's father, Chu Zhan, the general of Zhenyuan of the Celestial Dynasty. Chu Yifan did not salute respectfully to the visitor like others, but repeated what he said just now: "Today is grandma's birthday, I came to celebrate her birthday!"

Chu Zhan nodded: "Go in, your grandmother is in the back hall!" Chu Zhan's heart was like a mirror, he knew that the only person who could talk to this little son in this family was his old mother.

Chu Zhan walked to the stone platform, looked up at the golden plaque hanging on the gate, and said silently: "At this hour, you should also come!"

As soon as the words fell, I saw a dragon flashing in the clouds in the distance, and in an instant, a person and a dragon fell in front of Chu Zhan, and when everyone saw this, they immediately knelt on their knees and arched their hands: "Heavenly Monarch!"

Chu Zhan also arched his hand at the visitor: "Senior brother... No, Heavenly Monarch, the minister has been waiting for a long time, please inside!"

The person who came waved his hand and said, "There are no outsiders here, you and my brother don't have to be polite!"

After the words fell, the man looked at the golden plaque on the gate again, and then said: "This plaque must be a hundred years old, you have preserved it so well, you are not wrong!"
