The five members of the second team and one younger brother walked a total of two kilometers and finally arrived outside Zhuang City.

Looking at the two big characters "Zhuangcheng", everyone felt filled with emotion.

"I still want to say goodbye to my family before I leave." Shao Yu said with a look of reluctance.

"Hurry in, they say the streets of Zhuangcheng are bustling, I want to see them!" Zou Hu left these words and ran in first.

"I haven't been out for a long time! I really want to eat some delicious food~" Wanyan Haoxiang followed closely.

Ever since I reunited with my brother last night, my beautiful smile has been on my lips, and my whole complexion has become much better.

"Slow down and run! Don't fall!" Wanyan Ruojin could not stop worrying about her brother, who was two years younger than her.

Tian Zhinuo and Yuchi Cheng stood side by side. After looking at each other, they walked towards the city gate with Shao Yu.

The most prosperous street scene in Pengcang is indeed true.

Specialty snacks are everywhere in Pengcang, and the hospitable citizens take the initiative to lower prices to allow foreign guests to taste the delicacies.

This prosperous area has been reduced a lot now, and it would have been unparalleled before the monster's future.

As a rich man, Zou Hu has a lot of money in his pocket, so he has to buy whatever he finds interesting.

Wanyan Haoxiang was not polite and took Zou Hu's money as his own without being stingy.

Wanyan Ruojin always felt that what she was doing was not very good and stepped forward to dissuade her. After all, things were different now and they were no longer young ladies and gentlemen.

"Haoxiang, don't buy useless things."

Wanyan Haoxiang did not listen to the advice and continued to buy lavishly.

"It's okay, I have a lot of money! My brother hasn't been out to play for so long, so it's inevitable to get a little excited~" Zou Hu didn't care about this at first.

"That's right, sister, why have you become so stingy now? You are teammates anyway, so whoever spends money is not the same?"

Not only did Wanyan Haoxiang not accept Zou Hu's kindness, but he actually felt that he should spend money on himself.

Wanyan Ruojin was a little angry after hearing her brother's words, and immediately walked over to catch him and return all the things he had just bought.

"Remember, we, brother and sister, are homeless orphans now! We don't have that much money to give you!"

"Sister...why are you so fierce..." Wanyan Haoxiang burst into tears.

This made Wanyan Ruojin immediately put away her seriousness and said guiltily: "I'm sorry... I just want to tell you that things are different now. Enough is enough."

"I have money, I'll buy it." Shao Yu stepped forward and paid.

"Thank you, brother!" Wanyan Haoxiang immediately accepted his kindness.

On the way to the City Lord's Mansion, I heard many voices cursing the City Lord. Wanyan Ruojin felt deeply ashamed after hearing these paranoid words. She was one of them who had never known the truth.

Shao Yu was accustomed to these accusations and scorn. The neighbors would even point at his forehead and make irresponsible remarks. He shouldered it without any complaints.

"Brother Yu, you have such a good temper. If it were me, you would have scolded me back!" Zou Hu defended Shao Yu all the way, and helped him reply with a sentence or two from time to time.

Shao Yu showed a calm face and answered with the sword in his hand: "No amount of rumors can change my determination to protect this land."

With these words alone, Wanyan Ruojin felt a little more admiration for him.

Finally we arrived at the city lord's mansion. It was an official mansion after all. It looked really desolate from the outside. There wasn't even a guard outside the door. Looking around, there were rotten eggs and rotten vegetables piled on the ground in front of the door.

.

Several people were shocked when they saw this scene.

Wanyan Haoxiang pinched his nose and said with a look of disgust: "Are you sure you went to the right place? This place looks like a garbage dump that hasn't been taken care of for hundreds of years!"

Wanyan Ruojin gave him a look, signaling him to shut up.

Hearing Shao Yu speak calmly again, "Don't be offended, everyone. This scene is normal, and servants will come to clean it in the afternoon."

"Uh... Harm, we don't care, just go in quickly."

Zou Hu was the first to speak to the rescue.

Shao Yu took the lead, and everyone walked into the city lord's mansion one after another. As soon as they entered the courtyard, Shao Yu felt a little more comfortable. This is the peace of mind that home brings him.

"Young City Master, you are back!" The servants gathered around after seeing Shao Yu.

"You don't need to pay attention to me, just continue to do your own things. Are my father and mother in the house?" Shao Yu still wanted to see his father and mother first.

"Here, there, my wife is practicing sword practice in the backyard with the city lord!" A woman answered Shao Yu's words first.

"I understand. Go and tell the housekeeper to arrange five rooms and take care of them. How many days will my friend stay here?"

Shao Yu acted like a landlord from the moment he came up, and his maturity has only increased over the past two years.

After ordering his servants, he turned around and said to his companions behind him: "Are you willing to follow me to the backyard?"

"Of course I am willing." Once Tian Zhinuo answered, the others would naturally not refuse.

The atmosphere in the Shao family can be described as joyful and harmonious. The mayor is practicing swordplay, while his wife and young lady are sitting next to them, playing hostess. From time to time, they praise the husband and father for their valiant and heroic demeanor.

"Dad, Aniang." As soon as Shao Yu said these words, the three people in the backyard immediately stopped what they were doing and looked in the same direction. The most excited one was Shao Yu's sister, Shao Yun.

The little girl quickly put down the objects in her hands, hurriedly ran to her brother, hugged Shao Yu like a kitten, with a smile on her face.

"Brother! You're back! Yun'er misses you so much!" Shao Yun was like a sloth bear, clinging to his brother and not letting go.

Shao Yu also loved his sister very much. He rubbed her head and said softly: "I miss Yun'er too."

"Yun'er, you are such a big girl, why are you still clinging to your brother?" At this moment, the city lord Shao Jin spoke.

Only then did Shao Yun realize that there was someone else coming back with his brother.

"You are..." Shao Yun moved out of his brother's arms and walked up to Wanyan Ruojin. He looked up and down, showing a drunken look, "This sister is so handsome and has the air of a heroine.

The smell matches my brother very well. Could it be that she is my future sister-in-law?"

Shao Yun was a girl who spoke openly and frankly. Her words made Shao Yu and Wanyan Ruojin blush.

But Zou Hu stood aside and watched the fun, and deliberately added jealousy: "Hey, you have a good vision, maybe I can become your sister-in-law~"

In an instant, Zou Hu received a warning look from Wanyan Ruojin, and immediately put away his impropriety.

"Yun'er, don't talk nonsense! These...are all my friends..." Shao Yu was so shy and nervous for the first time.

"Yun'er, you're just a joker on weekdays. Today we have guests, please be more restrained." Mrs. Qiao quickly called her daughter back.

Wanyan Haoxiang looked at Shao Yun with a squinting expression throughout the whole process, with a small thought in his heart.

It happened to be noon, and Shao Jin ordered his servants to prepare lunch to entertain the children.

Shao Yu told his father the purpose of their trip and also informed them of their future plans.

It was a serious moment, but Shao Yun was the most innocent girl at the table. She just stared at Wanyan Ruojin, her eyes full of love. She kept adding dishes to her, asking questions from time to time, no matter what

Whatever Yan Ruojin answered, she always answered with an admiring tone.

"Yun'er, don't just pick up the food for my sister. She won't be able to finish it, so give me some~" Wanyan Haoxiang didn't like Shao Yun as soon as he opened his mouth.

Shao Yun moved closer to his brother, eating his food peacefully and ignoring him.

The deflated Wanyan Haoxiang pursed his lips in embarrassment.

Wanyan Ruojin put the vegetables in her own bowl into her brother's bowl and said, "I can't finish it, so I'll give it all to you."

After discussions during lunch time, the second team decided to rest at Shao's house for two days before leaving.

After lunch, everyone went back to rest.

Wanyan Ruojin felt unwell after not practicing her sword for a day, so she went to the yard to swing her sword vigorously.

Her mind was a little confused. She was full of hatred at the beginning. Should she really let it go now? Since everything was a misunderstanding, should she apologize to Shao Yu?

The more I think about it, the more confused I become, and the more I think about it, the more ruthlessly I slash with the knife.

He didn't stop until he was exhausted.

Tian Zhinuo lived in the same courtyard with her siblings. She came out of the house after her nap and saw Wanyan Ruojin, who was sweating. She didn't bother her. She was used to this situation and poured her a glass of water.

Bring it to her.

Wanyan Ruojin stood up, glanced sideways at her, and quickly thanked her.

Tian Zino just gave a smile that was neither arrogant nor arrogant, looked around before asking: "Where is your brother?"

Only then did Wanyan Ruojin realize that her brother was missing.

"Eh? He might still be sleeping in the house, right? I'll call him." As soon as he finished speaking, he put away the knife and walked towards Wanyan Haoxiang's house, but there was no one there.

"Aren't you here?" Tian Zhinuo asked after seeing her frowning and walking out.

"Maybe I went to find Zou Hu and the others." As soon as he said this, he saw Zou Hu running into the yard in a panic.

"Wanyan Ruojin, hurry up and take a look. Your brother is in trouble!" Zou Hu said such a meaningless sentence while panting.

"Ah?" Wanyan Ruojin suddenly became anxious.

"Follow me to the garden!"

Zou Hu took the two of them to the garden. As soon as they went there, they saw Wanyan Haoxiang surrounded by a group of maids.

It was the eldest lady Shao Yun who was in charge of those maids.
