......

Xiongguan Mandao, leading directly to the Feiyun Imperial Capital, on a spacious official road, there are two figures, one green and one white, who have just landed on the Qingchuan River, Ou Chuyang and Mu Wanqing.

Since getting off the boat, Ou Chuyang and the two have not been in a hurry to rush the imperial capital, anyway, it is a one-day walk away, and the two of them have a good visit to this marginal town during their slow steps. However, in the process of wandering, Ou Chuyang felt that the people had undergone great changes.

Affected by the war, the lives of civilians are obviously anxious and implied to be frightened, but under this panic of the war, they are not completely affected, and the other part is from the appearance of some warriors on the mainland, which has led to a little more panic in the lives of civilians.

Along the way, Ou Chuyang found that there were more warriors and spirit beasts in this inconspicuous town.

Animal taming. This ordinary martial art is regarded as the most ordinary one among the countless skills cultivated by martial artists, as long as it is a person with a little talent in martial arts, it can be easily mastered, and it is not a profound martial art. As long as you have the ability, you can go to various parts of the continent to capture your favorite spirit beasts as your own mounts on the premise of mastering this skill.

In order to protect the lives of civilians from being threatened by spirit beasts, places like the five countries on the mainland have always been strictly forbidden to move around spirit beasts. You can have your own spirit beast, or you can ride around on your own spirit beast in a place like the Dark Mountains, but you must not go deep into the hinterland where mortals live and create panic. This is a prohibition that all continental martial artists are familiar with.

However, in today's war-torn world, this ban seems to be no longer taken seriously. On the streets, or class tigers, wind wolves, and all kinds of spirit beasts vied to appear in front of Ou Chuyang and Mu Wanqing, which made the two of them frown. Imagine this kind of thing in a place where civilians live, and how people have to live.

A shrunken man next to him rode an eight-legged spider across the avenue, causing the scene of civilians on both sides rushing to escape, but this person did not feel ashamed of himself at all because of his own mistakes, but looked down at the ants in his eyes extremely arrogantly, with an undisguised domineering aura on his face, which made people can't help but be annoyed.

Scenes like this abound. Ou Chuyang didn't see half of the local guards restrain him, thinking that the empire had already reached the point of ignoring this situation, which only fueled this unhealthy trend.

Walking slowly in the middle of the avenue, looking at all this in front of her, Mu Wanqing's big dexterous eyes narrowed slightly, and she wondered: "Brother Ran, do all the people here live like this?"

Ou Chuyang knew what Mu Wanqing was asking, and when he shook his head, his brows tightened, and he replied, "No, it wasn't like this before. ”

Stopping a passer-by who was dodging in a panic, Ou Chuyang asked, "This little brother, what's going on? How could the empire allow a martial artist to ride his own spirit beast on the street to swagger through the market?"

The nervous passer-by saw that this man and woman were dressed extraordinarily, exuding a noble aura all over their bodies, and they were not ordinary people, but the appearance of the two was quite approachable, so he said, "This brother is from outside, right?"

"Yes. Ou Chuyang nodded.

"Alas~" The passer-by sighed and hurriedly explained: "You don't know, recently the war between Xuan'an and the Feiyun Empire at the border pass, the army suffered too many casualties, and the new Feiyun Lord issued a decree in order to increase the national strength and recruit warriors. ”

"What decree?" Ou Chuyang wondered.

The man replied: "All strong people above the level of martial guards, if they can register in the Emperor's ** Department and be used by the empire at the beginning of the war, not only can they get a lot of commissions in the empire every month, but even some private actions are relaxed and no longer restricted." ”

The man said, pointing to the warrior riding his spirit beast walking on the street, and added: "If you want to do this kind of behavior, the army used to come out to control it, but now, there is no one to control it." ”

Sighing, after the man finished speaking, he fled in a hurry in fear, leaving Ou Chuyang and Mu Wanqing there to ponder.

After a while, Ou Chuyang said: "Let's go, it seems that the empire has undergone some big changes to cause such a situation." I really want to meet this new lord of the country, could it be that he was kicked in the head by a donkey, and actually issued such a decree that greatly discouraged the people?"

In the midst of a whisper, the two of them quickened their pace and marched towards the Feiyun Emperor Capital at full speed.

Outside the north gate of the Feiyun Imperial Capital.

Several figures stood side by side, their eyes looking into the distance, and several essences flashed at the same time, implying a trace of anxiety and excitement.

After looking at it for a long time, a burly middle-aged man looked up at the sun in the middle of the day, and suddenly said: "Owen, is the news accurate, why do you still see Ou Chuyang's figure." ”

This person is none other than Ou Chuyang's adoptive father, Ou Haopeng, the second master of the Ou family. Beside him, an old man in his sixties looked forward to hearing Ou Haopeng ask, and at the same time turned his gaze to a young man beside him: Owen.

I believe that this person is familiar to everyone, he is the old man Fang who has been with Ou Chuyang for ten years.

Feeling the two eager and anxious gazes, Owen said categorically: "The news is correct, the evil ghost has just spread the word that Ou Chuyang has landed in the lower reaches of the Qingchuan River, with his strength, I am afraid that it will not take half a day to reach here, as for why it has not arrived, my nephew is not clear." ”

"Oh. Ou Haopeng was faintly worried, if what Owen said was true, then did Ou Chuyang encounter something on the road?

Just as he was thinking, suddenly the sound of horses' hooves came from far and near the city gate. Stunned, the three of them turned their gaze behind them.

Inside the city gate, a team of military horses in golden armor flew up, raising bursts of dust and smoke, until outside the city gate, they were divided into two teams with a tacit understanding to protect the gate tightly. Then, a horse of absolute dust followed one after another, surrounded by several light horses.

Immediately sat upright, dressed in silver armor, although this person was trying his best to exude the palpitating aura of the king, but because of this person's bloated body, like a huge leather ball, it was still difficult for people to feel afraid. It's just one thing, don't look at this person who looks like a huge fat pig, but it is not difficult to see from his elite eyes that this person is also a strong man with successful martial arts.

As soon as this person appeared, his majestic gaze swept between the two teams of people, and shouted: "The young general is returning today, you all cheer me up, let the major general see the morale of our mighty tiger army." ”

"Yes. ”

The thunderous sky-shaking drink made the fat-headed, big-eared, general-dressed pig head nod with satisfaction.

With a squinting gaze, this person suddenly saw the existence of Ou Haopeng and the three of them, and with a trace of doubt in his eyes, he drove the seat to run to the thunder horse. This person walked in front of the three of them, but he did not dismount, but hugged his head on the horse, and said to Ou Haopeng: "Second uncle, I haven't seen you for many days, are you okay?"

Hearing this, Ou Haopeng's eyes showed a touch of caution and disdain, and he straightened up and said: "There is Lao Ou who is worried, I'm fine, I can't die." ”

Seeing Ou Haopeng like this, this person smiled proudly and said, "Alas~, I can see that the second uncle is in a bad mood now, too, the inner crystal is broken, although the second uncle is talented, but it is really difficult to rebuild to the peak." ”

Speaking of this, this person put his bloated body on the horse's back, leaned over and said: "Second uncle, why don't you join the military department, look at me, although we are the same, but now I have reached the realm of martial arts again, and you don't know the realm of Dan cultivation of the national teacher, which is comparable to that old waste of Qingchen, like me now, I have achieved fame and strength, isn't it?"

Hearing this, Ou Haopeng coughed lightly, and then hugged his fists and said: "General Ou Bi can still think of me, the second uncle, but it is embarrassing for Haopeng, but the truth that the Tao is different and does not conspire with each other, I believe that General Ou Bi should understand." I have a heart. ”

Ou Haopeng said, although his words were very polite, it was not difficult to hear, mixed with a little sarcasm.

This person is not a fool, he can hear the meaning of Ou Haopeng's words, and he is not angry, he turned his gaze to Owen and said with a smile: "Owen, you are calm enough, except for you Ou Yuyang and Ou Yuqing, the Ou family has all joined the empire and joined the military department, what's the matter? ”

Owen glanced at this person and said disdainfully: "Ou Xiong, put away your set of lumens, the second uncle said, the Tao is not the same, you better save it." ”

"Idiot. Seeing that Ou Haopeng and Owen didn't give themselves face at all, Ou Xiong couldn't help but be secretly annoyed, scolded lightly, ignored the two of them, shook the reins, and turned back to the middle of the road.

At this moment, in the distant sky, the roar of a spirit beast came, making everyone's eyes look towards the sky.

When the wolf body, the lion head, and a pair of wide meat wings on the back flapped up and down, there was a faint sound of breaking the wind. This beast is none other than a fourth-level spirit beast: the Sirius Lion.

With an awe-inspiring momentum, when the full body of this spirit beast appeared in the eyes of everyone, Ou Xiong's eyes were happy, and he shouted: "Queue, the young general is back." ”

As soon as the words fell, the speed of the beast shadow that had just appeared soared, and it fell from the sky in the blink of an eye.

Looking at the young man sitting on the back of the wolf lion, Ou Haopeng's heart shook for no reason, his pupils shrank slightly, and he called out the name of the person who came in a low voice: "Lianzhou." ”

That's right, the person who came was the major general of the Feiyun Empire who had a relationship with Ou Chuyang in the lower reaches of the Qingchuan River: Lianzhou.

As soon as Lianzhou appeared, Ou Xiong's bloated body stiffened a little on the horseback, stepped forward, and respectfully gave a military salute: "The last general, Ou Xiong, welcome the young general." ”

Glancing at Ou Xiong, Lian Zhou nodded slightly, and put the young general's shelf full: "No need to be polite." ”

Standing up slightly, Ou Xiong's respectful appearance was completely gone, and he put on a flattering face, and leaned closer and said, "Hehe." The last general was ordered by the general and the national teacher to wait for the return of the major general here, and set up a banquet in the cold moon building to wait for the young general. ”

"Hmm. When Lianzhou heard this, he snorted lightly, and there was a faint look of pride on his face.

Seeing Ou Xiong's villainous face, Ou Haopeng and the three couldn't help but scoff. When he was secretly scolding Ou Xiong for being shameless, suddenly another momentum shot from afar, and this time, Ou Haopeng and the three of them finally showed a happy smile on their faces.

As the two momentum approached, outside the city gate, everyone's eyes couldn't help but look towards the sky.

At this time, two figures, one green and one white, appeared one after another and fell down steadily. It was Ou Chuyang and Mu Wanqing who came from the dark city.

Seeing the appearance of these two people, Ou Haopeng and the three of them were immediately overjoyed, walked a few steps quickly, and came to the two of them.

"Ran'er, you're back. ”

"Little host. ”

"Ou Chuyang. ”

The three voices came from the mouths of Ou Haopeng, Fang Lao and Owen respectively, and as soon as the three voices came out, the audience was suddenly filled with bursts of warmth.

Seeing these three people waiting here, Ou Chuyang obviously didn't expect it, and was slightly stunned, and said, "Father, grandfather, Owen, why are you here?"

Hearing this, Owen took over and replied, "I got the news that you are coming back from the evil ghost, and I originally planned to pick you up alone, but who thought that the second uncle and Fang Lao would just ask, so they simply came together." ”

Ou Chuyang listened, his heart was slightly moved, knowing that there are not many people in the Ou family who care about him, and the three people in front of him and the old man who are in an important position in the family can care about him so much.

Nodding his head slightly, Ou Chuyang turned to look at Mu Wanqing and introduced him: "Wanqing, this is my father, grandfather, and besides, he is Owen." ”

Along the way, Mu Wanqing also learned some things about the Ou family from Ou Chuyang's mouth, and she was no stranger to the three people in front of her. At this time, listening to Ou Chuyang's introduction to himself, he hurriedly gave a light salute, and said, "Wanqing has seen Uncle Ou and Grandpa Fang. ”

Just saw Ou Chuyang come back, because of the longing in their hearts, Ou Haopeng and the three of them didn't look at the woman beside him too much, and then when they heard Ou Chuyang's introduction, they looked at it attentively, and when they saw Mu Wanqing's peerless appearance, they couldn't help but be shocked in their hearts: "What a beautiful woman." ”

Gazing, Ou Haopeng asked in astonishment: "Ran'er, this is~"

"Oh, this is ~." Ou Chuyang was just about to introduce, but suddenly found that he couldn't find a good name to explain Mu Wanqing's identity. At this time, Mu Wanqing smiled and said, "Uncle Ou, my name is Mu Wanqing, and I am a friend of Ou Chuyang." As she spoke, Mu Wanqing winked at Ou Chuyang with her big watery eyes.

Hearing Mu Wanqing say this, Ou Chuyang suddenly became embarrassed, his face was slightly red, and he coughed lightly: "Cough~, yes, yes, it's a friend." ”

Hearing Ou Chuyang's hesitant tone, coupled with the eye contact between the two, Ou said that Ou Haopeng and Fang Lao are such old and refined characters, even Owen felt the charm between the two.

So, as if he didn't want Ou Chuyang to be so embarrassed, Ou Haopeng suddenly laughed: "Okay." Hehe, hello Jean girl. Okay, okay. ”

met and said hello, but Ou Haopeng added two "good" words at the end, and it is not difficult to see how happy he is now. And the old man Fang who was standing on the side kept looking at Mu Wanqing, while stroking the silver beard, he kept nodding his head, obviously this first impression, the old man was extremely satisfied.

Looking back on his past life and present life, it was the first time he brought his beloved woman to meet his elders, although the relationship was not clear, but he still had a feeling of taking his girlfriend to meet his parents.

Seeing the embarrassed look on Ou Chuyang's face, Ou Haopeng hurriedly said: "Your master Qingchen, there are many people who know that you are coming back and are waiting in the Dantang, if you have anything to say, let's go back and talk." ”

Several people met again after a few years, and they were naturally overjoyed. And Lianzhou, who also just arrived, also saw the two of them. Seeing Mu Wanqing's alluring appearance again this time, Lianzhou's heart was deeply touched again.

Ou Haopeng and the others were about to leave, but Lianzhou suddenly turned over and got off his mount and walked towards everyone on foot.

"Huh. Isn't this the second master of the Ou family, the younger generation is polite to Lianzhou. ”

Ou Chuyang and the others, who were about to leave and return to Dantang, immediately frowned when they found that Lianzhou had come over to salute at this moment. Just now, when Ou Chuyang and Mu Wanqing had not arrived, this Lianzhou arrived first, but they didn't come over in time to say hello, and now they just came over at this moment, which made Ou Haopeng and the others wonder.

"Major General Lian. Out of politeness, Ou Haopeng hugged his fists to show that he returned the courtesy. With such a scene, it is not difficult for Ou Chuyang to see that his father Ou Haopeng is somewhat disgusted with Lianzhou in front of him. And Ou Chuyang and Mu Wanqing, who had seen this person in that marginal town before, were disgusted with Lianzhou because of that gratuitous conversation.

Ou Chuyang didn't speak, as if he hadn't seen Lianzhou, and stood there silently, not knowing what to see.

In the end, it was a character who fought and killed, and with just a slight sweep of his eyes, he found that everyone was disgusted with him, but with Mu Wanqing present, even if Lianzhou was angry, he couldn't show it. Keeping a smile on his face, Lianzhou directly led the topic to Ou Chuyang and Mu Wanqing, and asked, "Second Master Ou, these two are~"

At first, when he first saw Ou Chuyang and Mu Wanqing in the town, Lianzhou was completely attracted by Mu Wanqing's beauty, so he didn't care about Ou Chuyang. Now in front of the imperial capital, I saw Ou Haopeng and Ou Chuyang extremely close, and I was also puzzled about his identity. That's why I asked.

Ou Haopeng hadn't answered yet, but Ou Xiong, who had been groveling to Lianzhou, walked to Lianzhou's side gently, and after whispering a few times in his ear, he stood behind him with his head down.

The whispers of thin lines reached Lianzhou's ears one by one, and exploded like thunder.

Looking at Ou Chuyang incredulously, Lianzhou didn't expect that the nobody who didn't even bother to look at him a few days ago would actually be the famous Ou Chuyang.
