Chapter 347: A family that loves each other (more for Immortal Qitian)
The princess returns to the city!
Before Yu Fengxian arrived at the city gate, the heads of families from various districts in the city, as well as the rural gentlemen and clans, had already heard about it and came in large numbers.
"The relationship between uncle and nephew is still so bad..."
Looking at the figure falling into the water, everyone had different expressions and thoughts in their hearts, but no one said anything, they all waited respectfully.
On the contrary, when the ordinary people inside and outside the city wall saw this scene, they were filled with gloating and talking about it.
"Grandma Sun, go home."
When Yu Fengxian got off the boat, he ignored the roaring and tsunami-like greetings and pulled Grandma Sun with a wry smile on her face into the city.
Daocheng is not an enlarged proportion of a prefecture, county or state city.
Eighteen vertical and horizontal streets, which can accommodate eight horses parallel to each other, clearly divide the city. On both sides of the neat streets, there are various high-rise buildings.
Restaurants, silk and satin shops, pawn shops, tea shops, antique shops, incense shops, grocery stores, etc. are all available.
There are many caravans from other prefectures coming here to trade with each other. They sweep along the streets and see a dazzling array of goods. Many of them are patrolled by soldiers and government officials.
Yu Fengxian entered the city. Before he even got on the carriage, Zhang Lingfeng, who was covered in water, followed him. With a wave of his hand, he handed over what he had prepared in advance:
"This is the rouge gouache from Shuiyunfang. My second uncle specially prepared it for you. You don't like it? This is the Vajra Talisman of Fu Shui Guan. You don't like it either?"
This is the ‘Thunderbolt Thunder Fire Bullet King’ developed by Tiangong Institute. I still don’t like it. This is a newly developed elixir by Danfang. It has a miraculous effect on physical strength..."
Zhang Lingfeng wiped the water from his face and smiled to please his niece.
"Boy, are you annoyed?"
If it weren't for the indecent beating of his uncle in the street, Yu Fengxian would have almost punched him: "You are so free, why don't you refine a Tianyuan Great Pill to save grandpa?"
call!
After he finished speaking, there was silence both inside and outside the long street.
The street vendors, as well as the city officials who were quietly eavesdropping behind the two, the country gentlemen and the family couldn't help but hold their breath and looked at Zhang Lingfeng.
There are various taboos in Longyuan City, such as not being allowed to go out after the curfew, fighting and killing must be reported, thieves having their hands and feet amputated, etc.
But more than these, what is more deeply remembered by everyone are the unwritten taboos.
In front of the younger prince, a man should hold his chest high and straighten his back. He should not give gifts to the people of Wanxiang Mountain. Finally, he should not mention the old prince in front of the second prince.
"Haha, kid, how can Tian Yuan Great Pill be so easy to practice?"
Contrary to everyone's expectations, Zhang Lingfeng was silent for only a moment, and then he laughed to himself again, pretending that nothing had happened.
He just glanced at the people behind him and said, "Let's go."
He obeyed everything he said, not to mention the rural gentry and the hawkers along the street, and the pedestrians also backed away with awe on their faces.
Not only was he afraid of his identity, but he was also afraid of his strange and unpredictable Taoist methods.
"You think you're awesome?"
Yu Fengxian gave him a cold look, suppressed her displeasure and left.
She really wanted to beat this fat man, but she just thought about it. This fat man seemed to have a big belly and no strength in his hands, but in fact he was proficient in dozens of Taoist and strange arts.
"Haha~"
Zhang Lingfeng was not annoyed, he just shook his head and followed slowly. The uncle and nephew walked one behind the other. Wherever they passed, it was like tigers walking on the streets, and pedestrians dispersed one after another.
At the end of the most prosperous street, there is a huge mansion with a purple gate, stone lions squatting on guard, and two rows of elite soldiers standing along the 12-step white jade stone steps.
Arriving here, Yu Fengxian stopped.
Behind the open door, a haggard old man walked out slowly, leaning on a bamboo stick. His dim eyes scanned the crowd and landed on Yu Fengxian:
"You still know how to come back?"
"Second Master, why are you coming out?"
Seeing the old man, Zhang Lingfeng bowed slightly, but Yu Fengxian smiled, stepped forward to hold his arm, and spoke softly.
The name of this old man with a bamboo stick is ‘Zhang Wen’an’, but he is the direct brother of Old King Longyuan, and one of the three people with the highest status in the Longyuan Palace today.
"If the old man doesn't come out, I'm afraid you will be sent to the clan mansion..."
Zhang Wen'an looked at his eldest brother's little granddaughter affectionately and sighed again:
"If you're like this, the second master won't be able to feel at ease even if he dies."
"What are you talking about, Second Master? I didn't cause any trouble in this situation. I served the country and killed many remnants of the Lian Sheng Cult!"
As Yu Fengxian spoke, his heart suddenly thought of something.
Sure enough, not long after the old man came out, the officials of the Zongren Mansion arrived. The leader was tall and burly, with a dark complexion, like an iron tower.
At this point, he first saluted the three of them and then said in a deep voice:
"Little princess, something happened to you, please let me go for a while!"
The nine kings of the Ming Dynasty were stationed in one place respectively. They had great power, but they were not uncontrollable. The people who controlled the palace were the Jinyi Guards and the clan's palace.
Especially the latter, after receiving the decree, can even detain the children of princes. Of course, they only have the right to detain, not to interrogate or punish them.
The Zongren Mansion was established in the early Ming Dynasty. It was originally located in Kyoto. Later, because the princes' fiefdoms were too far away from Kyoto and it was too tiring to travel back and forth, a stronghold was established in various Dao.
If a prince's heir commits a crime, he or she can be temporarily detained until the order is issued and then escorted to the capital to be punished.
"Asshole!"
Zhang Lingfengka's face darkened and he scolded: "My Fengxian has just come back, how dare you be so presumptuous?!"
"Your Majesty, forgive me!"
The man who looked like an iron tower was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect this person to be the one to make the attack. He knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands and lowered his head, saying:
"Your Majesty's Ming Jian! The undefeated Tiangang fell into the hands of outsiders. When the news reached the capital, His Majesty was furious and ordered us to detain the little princess. We were only following orders..."
"roll!"
Zhang Lingfeng kicked him over.
"enough!"
Zhang Wen'an scolded angrily, his cloudy old eyes flashed with light, he glanced at Zhang Lingfeng with disgust, and then said:
"Fengxian has just returned home. If anything happens, come to me tomorrow and let me know!"
After that, he ignored the others and let Yu Fengxian help him into the house. Zhang Lingfeng wanted to follow, but he glared back.
The palace was very quiet, because the old prince was seriously injured and needed to recuperate. Including the maids and servants, there were only one hundred and twenty people in such a large mansion.
With no one else around, the old man and the old man started talking without any scruples.
"No wonder, second brother, what you did in this matter is really bad! Qinglong Zhengang is the direct descendant of Taizu, the superior Zhengang promoted by our Longyuan lineage from generation to generation!"
The old man with the bamboo stick frowned and scolded:
"This time the clan comes to get you, no one can stop you, you, you!"
"Second Grandpa, can you bear to have Fengxian imprisoned?"
Yufengxian is suffering.
She never dreamed that just by reciting it once, that boy would learn the Qinglong True Power.
If that was all, that was all. She thought she could hold on.
But who would have thought that in just a few days, this kid would fully understand the undefeated Tiangang that it took him more than ten years to figure out?
She was still lucky on this journey, thinking that not many people knew about it, but now it seems that not everyone in the world knows about it...
"What's the solution?"
Zhang Wen'an glared at her, which showed that she pursed her lips and felt a little soft-hearted: "There is a way to solve the problem. You have to kill that kid first, and then..."
"Don't!"
Before the old man finished speaking, Yu Fengxian couldn't help but interrupt: "I took the initiative to teach him the Qinglong True Power, and he didn't learn it secretly, so how can I embarrass him?"
As if she noticed something, she coughed again:
"Besides, he is also my subordinate. I am the leader. I have to protect him no matter what!"
Zhang Wen'an looked unhappy:
"You can't even protect yourself, but you still have time to care about others?"
"Second Grandpa, please stop showing off, otherwise they will go out with a knife and turn into bandits. They will block the road and rob, and they will be killed but not buried..."
"What a mess!"
Zhang Wen'an felt a headache after hearing this and hurriedly called her to stop.
The two of them were talking and walking, and when they arrived outside a quiet small courtyard, they heard the sound of wooden fish before they saw anyone.
"grandmother!"
Yu Fengxian called out and just as he was about to go in, an old lady with white hair but no less grace came out of the courtyard.
He also reprimanded him as soon as he opened his mouth:
"Crazy girl, if you dare to run around again, your legs will be discounted!"
"I don't dare anymore."
Yu Fengxian shrank his head, feeling scared.
"sister in law."
Zhang Wen'an saluted and told him everything about what happened outside the mansion.
"You girl, you're always looking for trouble!"
The old lady raised her hand angrily and hit him.
"Second Grandpa, save me!"
Yu Fengxian ran around for a while, but was caught and lightly beaten a few times.
"What kind of clan mansion dares to bully my little Phoenix Fairy? Don't even think about it!"
The old lady held her granddaughter in her arms, feeling a little distressed after being beaten by herself.
Her son and daughter-in-law passed away early. She raised these two siblings, and they are very precious.
"After all, it's the clan's mansion..."
Zhang Wen'an coughed lightly and reminded:
"That brat is deviant and rebellious. He is hated by people and ghosts. If Fengxian is detained and sent to the capital again, the house will really be in chaos..."
Longyuandao is so far away from the capital. It may take six or seven years to come back. In addition, due to the clan accountability and other procedures, even if you are not held accountable, it may take more than ten years to return to Longyuandao...
"Well, if it's just Qinglong Zhengang, we can settle it, but this is related to the Undefeated Tiangang. Not only the emperor, but even the grandmaster and the old guys from other princes can't get through it!"
Zhang Wen'an couldn't help but knock the bamboo stick, with a sad look on his face:
"You little guy can really cause trouble!"
"What are you afraid of? One person does the work and the other takes responsibility! If it doesn't work, I will go to Linlong Road to seek refuge with Grandpa Zhao. I don't believe there are still people who dare to arrest me at his old man's house!"
Yu Fengxian knew the seriousness of the matter, but she was not afraid because she also understood the undefeated Tiangang.
In the hands of the Zhang family, this is tantamount to a gold medal to avoid death, and as long as it is not treason, it is permanent!
"What a bastard thing to say!"
Zhang Wen'an blew his beard angrily.
"The boy has understood the undefeated Tiangang. Maybe, this is not a bad thing..."
The old man and the young boy glared at each other, but the old lady was thinking about everything. She glanced at her naive granddaughter and said:
"Nanny, tell me, let's make him our son-in-law, okay?"
