Chapter 20 Sui Capital Luoyang
Uncle Zhang never thought that he would use this method to enter Luoyang City, where he had been away for a year, and sleep in a simple coffin!
Fortunately, Chen Sheng and the others were careful enough. Although the coffin was simple, it was not small. The thatch was thick enough to lie on it, so it was comfortable and comfortable to lie on.

Uncle Zhang was lying in the coffin, listening to all kinds of voices coming from the four alleys and eight streets in Luoyang City. He had not seen the prosperity of the city for a long time. He used to see it with his eyes, but now he felt it with his ears.

"Finally home!" After entering the city gate, Xia Yun, who was riding on a horse, couldn't help shouting happily.

Ran'er on the side hurriedly stopped and said in a low voice: "Yunyun, don't get excited, don't forget that Uncle Zhang is still lying in the coffin, you don't look like we have lost Uncle Zhang."

At the same time, Xia He, who was in front, also turned his head and gave Xia Yun a warning look.

"Oh!" Xia Yun came over suddenly, abruptly put away his excited and happy smile.

With a pouted mouth, this aggrieved expression is really cute.

Ran'er almost laughed when she saw it, and quickly covered her mouth with her hand.

At this time, Ran'er suddenly felt a sharp gaze sweeping over him, and looked in the direction of feeling, only to see the window on the second floor of a tea house, the window was empty, without any figure.

Could it be that I am overthinking it?Ran'er thought about it, but felt uneasy in her heart.

……

Luoyang, the eastern end of the Silk Road, is the capital of the Sui Dynasty today.

This city has experienced countless battles between military strategists. The magnificent palaces and bustling city, after becoming a battlefield for military strategists, turned into hills and ruins several times, and now it is once again prosperous and prosperous.

Under the sun, among the green tiles and red walls, the flying eaves and beams, the shop flags fluttering in the wind, the comings and goings of horses and camels, and the endless flow of pedestrians all show the prosperity of the city and the prosperity of the Sui Dynasty. .

……

The Xia family started out as a rice business. Over the past decades, in order to achieve steady development amidst wars, the Xia family has continued to expand industries in various industries. Later, due to the country's political stability, it has been able to operate steadily.

After several generations of hard work, the Xia family has achieved a prosperous result today. Not only can it be called the richest man in one party, but it has always had a good reputation.

……

After the Xia family received the news that the caravan would return today, the old concierge Fu Bo waited outside the alley early in the morning.

Hope, hope, finally in the afternoon very much looking forward to the figure of the caravan.

"Ah! Come! Come!... This is finally back!" The old concierge Fu Bo yelled loudly, and while running towards the caravan, he also summoned a neat boy to go in inform.

The young master and miss finally returned safely.

It has been more than a year, and only those who have experienced it can understand the hardships of the journey and the feeling of homesickness.

Returning with the caravan, Xia Yun was a little dazed when he saw that his home was still the same. Everything on the way this year was like a dream.

For a moment, it was difficult to suppress the fluctuation of mood, tears poured into Xia Yun's eyes unexpectedly, and then overflowed.

The concierge Fu Bo ran to Xia He's horse, took the reins and let Xia He dismount, but he bowed and shouted: "Young master, you are finally back, you are back." He couldn't help crying.

The other servants at the door also rushed over cleverly to help lead the horse and carry the luggage.

The yelling had already attracted all the people who had been waiting anxiously.

The first one to run out was Mrs. Tai, Xia He's grandma.

With one hand on the cane and the other hand supported by a maidservant, she walked steadily towards her.

When Xia Yun saw grandma, she burst into tears without saying a word, and went straight to Mrs. Ru Tai's arms like a sucking swallow throwing herself into the forest, sobbing endlessly.

"Grandma, Yunyun is back, Yunyun is back! Grandma, I miss Yunyun to death, Yunyun misses you!" Xia Yun buried her head on Mrs. Tai's shoulder and cried.

"It's good to be back! It's good to be back! Grandma misses you too!" Mrs. Tai held Xia Yun in her arms, her eyes filled with tears.

Since the day they left, there has not been a day when they have not missed the brothers and sisters.

Followed by Xia He's uncle - Xia Jiejie.This person looks about 50 to [-] years old, with a refined face, but because he has been in business for many years, he feels shrewd, elegant and calm enough, and his figure is also a person who has practiced martial arts for many years.

"Uncle!" Seeing Xia Minjie approaching, Xia He clasped his hands and shouted.

Xia Qianjie nodded, raised his hand and patted Xia He's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Not bad, you've grown stronger, congratulations on your smooth return!"

As he spoke, he patted Xia He's arm again, muttering, "It's good to be back, it's good to be back!"

Is this the feeling between relatives?Ran'er stared blankly at people who kept coming around, telling her about parting and the joy of returning.

The old lady was holding Xia Yun's hand tightly and was about to go back, only to find a beautiful barbarian woman standing beside Xia Yun, and asked doubtfully, "Who is this?"

"Her name is Yang Ran'er, her father is from the Central Plains, and her mother is from Persia. Because of an accident, Ran'er lost all her relatives, so I invited Ran'er to return to the Central Plains with me and be my companion."

After Xia Yun briefly introduced, he turned to Ran'er and said, "Ran'er, this is grandma!"

"Hello grandma!" Ran'er saluted the old lady slightly, and called sweetly,
"Good! Good! Good boy, I will treat this place as my own home from now on, no need for birth!" The old lady said to Ran'er kindly and cordially with a smile on her face.

Looking at the old lady's smile, Ran'er felt a warm feeling in her heart.

This smile reminded her of Raphael, his smile seemed to be that everything in the world was beautiful and peaceful.

His innocent and warm smile seemed to be radiating light, always attracting Ran'er's attention.

Raphael, are you okay?

Ran'er looked up at the sky, at this moment, she suddenly missed him so much...

……

Seeing everyone hugging the old lady and Xia Yun into the gate, Xia Minjie asked suspiciously: "Where is Yanqing? Why didn't I see him!"

"Uncle Zhang... he... has left!" Xia He looked sad.

"What, where did he go!" Xia Qianjie said unclearly.

"Uncle, Uncle Zhang has left us like a father!" At this time, Xia He had a face full of grief. He pointed to the simple coffin not far behind him and said, "Uncle Zhang is lying there, but he Never coming back!"

"How did this happen?" Xia Minjie asked unacceptably, "What happened to Yanqing?"

"Why does Uncle think that Uncle Zhang had an accident!" Xia He asked.

"Yanqing's medical skills are excellent. If it's an ordinary illness, his life will definitely not be killed, but accidents, it's really hard to prevent!" Xia Minjie was immersed in grief. He lost his brother a year ago. A year later, Yanqing died. He went with his elder brother again.

"It was my carelessness that gave the thief an opportunity!" Xia He blamed himself.

At this time, the old concierge Fu Bo hurried out of the gate again, shouting: "Young Master, Second Master, the old lady told you to come in!"

"Here we come!" Xia Minjie responded.

Then put away the sad look on his face, and said to Xia He in a low voice: "Since mother received the news that you are coming back soon, she has been waiting for you brothers and sisters to come back to welcome you. Now everyone in the Xia family has come together Yes, everyone is happy to celebrate your safe return. Let’s hide the matter of Yanqing for the time being! Let your grandma be happy tonight, and explain the situation to her in a few days. She has really suffered this year .”

"Yes, all according to uncle's arrangements!" Xia He said respectfully, and put away the grief on his face.

"Chen Sheng, Xu Huwei." Xia He turned his head and ordered, "You two carry the coffin in through the back door so that it can be placed safely."

"Yes! This subordinate will do it now!" The two replied at the same time.

"Well, there is more!" Xia He thought for a while and then ordered: "This year, the brothers have worked hard. After you two settle down, one will stay and guard Uncle Zhang's coffin, and the other will lead the brothers to relax. Relax, you two can discuss the arrangement!"

After Xia He explained, he walked into the door of Xia's house together with Xia Minjie...

……

In the north of Luoyang City, in a secluded courtyard, three people sat in a solemn and clean meeting hall.

That's right, the first one is the Demon Lord Edreyson from the Demon Realm.

Since entering the conference hall, he has been pressing his beautifully curved lips tightly. He didn't speak, and the hall was desolate.

The other two, Herman and Costa, were considering how to break the king's silence.

"King!" Costa took the lead to break the solemn atmosphere.

Edreyson raised his eyebrows, motioning for him to speak.

Since arriving in Luoyang yesterday, Edreyson has locked himself in the house and has been healing his injuries until the two of them insisted on inviting him to the conference hall, saying that he is new here, and he must tell him some related issues and issues that should be paid attention to. clear.

This made Edreyson very impatient.

Costa ignored Edreyson's stern smile, and said straightly:

"My lord, please remember, from now on, the place we live in is called Leifu.

In Luoyang, including this eastern land, you are a merchant from Persia, and your name is Leisen.

In Lei's mansion, besides our own people, I also invited some local mortals to be handymen and maids in the mansion. There are too many people talking, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, from now on, we will all call you: Lei Son! "

Edreyson pulled out an unsmiling smile.

"Young Master Lei!"

"My lord, this is a respectful name for men in the East!" Costa explained.

Well, no matter how weird he is, it's just a title.

What's more, I might not deal with these mortals from the east. As long as my injuries are recovered, I will immediately return to the Demon Realm.

"What about the rest?" Edison asked.

Costa said: "My lord! Oh, no! Mr. Lei, you only need to remember what I just said, and I will take care of the rest, so you don't have to worry about it, Mr. Lei."

Edreyson raised his sword eyebrows noncommittally, and did not continue this topic.

He pondered and asked: "What's the situation over there in the Demon Realm?"

"King, uh, Mr. Lei! There is no future crime in the heavens, and everything is peaceful as if nothing happened!" Herman replied respectfully, and he wanted to change his name to "Mr. Lei", as if he was not too sure. Habit.

"Then just wait and see what happens, the one in the heaven cannot be inactive!" Edreson closed his eyes after he finished speaking. This was not because he was tired, but it was always like this when he was thinking about something.

This also means that the topic is over, and there is no need for further discussion.

Costa and Herman also fell into their own thoughts, and the conference hall returned to silence again.

At this moment, Herman couldn't help thinking of the girl in red that he saw in the heavy rain. He saw her again when he visited Luoyang City today. Although she was dressed in white this time, he would not admit it. Well, the figure and appearance of this beautiful oriental girl have long been deeply imprinted in his heart.

However, what surprised Herman was that the other girl next to the oriental girl was obviously not an oriental, Persian?Turks?This is not important, what is important is why there is a feeling of deja vu.

Where did you see it?
Herman shook his head, he must have seen it, but he couldn't remember where he saw it...

……

Wow, I've never had such a good shower!

Ran'er soaked in the huge bathtub, let the warm water soak every inch of her skin, feeling comfortable.

After dinner, Xia He and his uncle left to deal with the caravan. Xia Yun greeted all the relatives for a while, and then brought Ran'er here.

After coming here, Ran'er's eyes were first attracted by the light yellow light.

Not candlelight!

Each pillar in the bathroom is inlaid with a large bead, the light yellow color reflects the light gauze around the bath, embellishing the whole bathroom like an illusion.

This is Ye Mingzhu, Ran'er knows.

Some luminous pearls have their own unique spirituality due to the long time of formation. If the angels find them, they will usually use them to put them on their magic weapons. In addition to being beautiful, they can also increase their own divine power.

In the world, this thing must be a rare treasure.

well!Ran'er couldn't help sighing.

The Xia family is really rich, and they are too smart to be slaves to property.

This treasure, which would normally be treasured with care, was actually used by them as lighting.

But in the human world, the function of the luminous pearl is to emit light.

……

But Xia Yun who was soaking at the other end of the bath was looking at Ran'er wonderingly.

I really don't understand why I have been away from home for more than a year, and I have been tanned into a horrible wheat-colored skin.

But Ran'er grew up in the desert, but she was so white and pure.

It's really enviable and jealous!

"Ran'er, why can't you tan!" Xia Yun asked unconvinced.

"Ah?" Ran'er couldn't understand for a moment, and asked with wide-eyed eyes.

"Also, why is it okay for you to be bitten by 'Chi Yan'?" Xia Yun suddenly thought of this again.

well!It's so infuriating that people compare to others!Not only will it not tan, but it will not be poisoned.

Ran'er was taken aback by Xia Yun's question, and said blankly, "I don't know either!"

"I will ask Uncle Zhang to show you later, maybe you are invulnerable to all poisons!" Xia Yun said with a smile.

But suddenly he remembered Uncle Zhang, so he whispered to Ran'er: "Ran'er, have you finished washing? Well, let's go visit Uncle Zhang, I've been lying down all day, I must be very tired!"

"I've been fine a long time ago, but I'm too comfortable to get up." Speaking of Uncle Zhang, Ran'er stood up quickly, ready to get dressed.

She didn't understand why Xia He wanted Uncle Zhang to pretend to be dead, but Xia He must have his reasons for doing so.

"Go! Go! Let's take a look quietly!" Xia Yun also crawled out of the water, whispering while putting on his clothes.

After a while, I saw two thin figures sneaking towards the backyard.

Unexpectedly, before reaching the gate of the backyard, he was caught by guard Xu.

Seeing someone standing in front of him suddenly, Xia Yun was startled and almost cried out.

Later, I found that it was Xu Huwei who blocked my way, pouted, and whispered: "You want to scare people to death, quickly take us to see Uncle Zhang!"

Seeing that it was these two girls, Xu Huwei could only shake his head helplessly, and led them into the backyard.

"No, I can't let you take this risk!" The two walked under the eaves and heard Xia He veto Uncle Zhang's proposal in a low voice.

The two looked at each other, stopped in a tacit understanding, and did not enter the room to disturb the conversation between Xia He and Uncle Zhang.

Then I heard Uncle Zhang say: "This Guixi Pill can make me die within 36 hours, as long as I am dug out and taken the antidote within the time after the burial."

"No!" Xia He still disagreed: "No matter where there is a mistake in the whole process, you will be in danger, Uncle Zhang. I can't guarantee that it will be safe."

"It must be the real me, which is the best way to make people undetectable!" Uncle Zhang insisted.

"No!" Xia He still disagreed.

At this moment, Ran Er suddenly opened the door and walked in, "I have an idea!"

……

　After twists and turns, Ran'er finally came to Luoyang, and next, she will start her fantasy journey in the eastern land.The heavenly world and the demon world have also gathered here. I don't know what kind of stories they will deduce in this magical land.Then let us imagine to our heart's content and look forward to the development of the story...
