"Has it been so long?"
When Du Shaofu heard this, there was a bitter smile on the corner of his mouth, he didn't expect it to be so long, and then he asked Zhen Qingchun: "How is the situation outside?"
"I didn't go out again, so I don't know, but your elder sister Du Xiaoman came back from Shicheng." Zhen Qingchun said to Du Shaofu.
Outside the courtyard, surrounded by mountains and rivers, it is lush and green.
Inside the gazebo, a woman dressed in hot clothes was leaning against the wooden pillar, outlining a graceful and moving arc. Her long jet-black hair was as smooth as a waterfall, and her black silk was loosely tied up. She had a pair of slender lou and long legs , more like being silently enchanting, with a piece of crisp breasts on her chest like creamy white jade, half-covered, looking at the depths of the mountain stream, with a graceful figure, eyes like ethereal, lips like cherry petals, whispering, saying : "Fortunately, the third brother is fine. He has refined a high-grade peak Taoist weapon. If father and second uncle know about it, they will be ecstatic."
"Sister, take me to Shicheng next time, I want to go too." Du Xiaoqing became interested, with a naive, innocent and elegant demeanor.
"Okay, let's go back together next time." Du Xiaoman smiled, pure and refined. His dark eyes were as clear as a stream of water.
"Aren't you taking me with you?" Ouyang Shuang stared at Du Xiaoqing and Du Xiaoman, his big eyes fluctuating.
"How about I take you there?"
A faintly familiar voice came out, and then a purple robed figure with a broad sword on his shoulder came.
"elder brother… "
Du Xiaoqing looked up, and jumped over happily, immediately took Du Shaofu's arm affectionately.
It was Du Shaofu who came, groomed in the room, changed into a set of clean clothes, and then came to look for the three women.
"Are you all right?"
Ouyang Shuang also came to Du Shaofu's side, with a graceful curve and a moving figure, big eyes and beautiful eyes are always cold and charming to others, but facing Du Shaofu at this moment, he is full of worry.
"It's okay, don't worry."
Du Shaofu looked at Ouyang Shuang, quite puzzled, said: "Why do I feel that you are more and more like a woman?"
"Just asking casually, who has time to care about you." Ouyang Shuang glared at Du Shaofu, and then walked away.
"Did I offend this tomboy again?" Du Shaofu looked puzzled, scratching his head in great confusion.
"It's fine if you're fine, you boy, just after you came out of the territory of Tianwu Talisman, you made such a big commotion again, you're fine." Du Xiaoman stood up and stepped forward, with a charming smile on her face, which was extremely touching.
"Sister, have you come back from Shicheng? How is your family?"
From Zhen Qingchun's mouth, Du Shaofu already knew that his elder sister Du Xiaoman came back from Shicheng, so it's not surprising to see her at this time, but he has some concerns about his family, after all, Shicheng is the place where he grew up.
"Everything is fine at home. The elders are very happy to learn about your achievements in Tianwu Academy. The residents of the entire Stone City know that you, the city lord, have shined in Tianwu Academy. The whole city cheers and applauds." Du Xiao Man pursed his lips and said with a smile.
Du Shaofu chuckled, but almost forgot that he was still the deputy city lord of Shicheng. Although he only had a name, he didn't need to do anything, it was just a name, but at this time, he really missed Du's family and Shicheng. It is to walk out of Shicheng, which is the place where I grew up.
"I didn't expect you to be the majestic deputy city lord, I really didn't expect it." Ouyang Shuang joked aside, there was obviously a little disdain in those big eyes.
"It's just a small town, but it can't compare to Lanling City."
Du Shaofu said helplessly, at the beginning Ye Baolin, the city lord of Shicheng, was so kind, he didn't have to do anything anyway, it didn't matter if he had a name, Du Shaofu had no choice but to nod and agree to be the deputy city lord at last.
"Shaofu, I have something to tell you about Du Wangfu." Du Xiaoman said.
"Sister, let's talk about it here, there are no outsiders here." Du Shaofu nodded, Du Xiaoqing and Ouyang Shuang are definitely not outsiders.
"Um… "
Du Xiaoman nodded, and then said to Du Shaofu: "This time I went back and asked my uncle and uncle about the situation of Prince Du's mansion. It is true that Prince Du's mansion is in the same clan as our Shicheng Du family, and it is also a relationship with the main clan."
From the mouth of the eldest sister Du Xiaoman, Du Shaofu learned that many years ago, there were two amazing figures in the Du family. At the time when the empire was in turmoil, one of them proposed to leave Shicheng, develop outside, and make great achievements. But according to the ancestral precepts, stick to the ancestral land.
In the end, most of the Du family wanted to go out and make a fortune, so they left Shicheng and finally made contributions. Following the Cheng family of the Stone Dragon Empire, they conquered the current Stone Dragon Empire and were granted the title of Protecting the king became the first palace of the Stone Dragon Empire.
Over the years, it is said that the Stone Dragon Empire has gone through many turbulences and changed many emperors, but the Du Palace is still the first palace, and the title of King Protector has been passed down to this day. It can be said that the Du family is in Shilong The empire can sit on an equal footing with the Cheng family, under one family, above ten thousand families.
And because of the relationship between the Du family and Shicheng, it has long been unknown when Shicheng has received special protection.
But it has been a long time, and no outsiders know these things at all. Even if no one in the Du family and the Cheng family knew about it for a long time, a small border town like Shicheng would not attract too much attention from others, and it has maintained the status quo all these years until now.
As for the Du family who stayed in Shicheng, with the passage of time, there are not many cultivation resources, the talent is not as good as the previous generation, and the population is relatively thin, so it has always maintained the original state, and its strength is increasingly unable to compare with Du Wangfu.
However, the Du family in Shicheng has records that after the Du Wangfu left Shicheng, the younger generations of both parties would hold discussions every three years.
Later, for some reason, the descendants of the Du family in Shicheng were not as good as the previous generation, so it evolved into Du's family in Shicheng, where a contest was held every three years, and those who could pass the test among the younger generation's talent could enter the Du Palace for training.
In the end, the Du family in Shicheng had no special talent to come out, and the family of Du Wangfu even lost contact with the Du family in Shicheng. It was not until almost twenty years ago that Du Tingxuan walked out of Shicheng and blossomed in Tianwu Academy with amazing talent. He also won the championship of the Tianwu Conference 20 years ago, which attracted the attention of Du Wangfu, contacted the Du family again, and also contacted Du Tingxuan.
"It is said that the relationship between Second Uncle and Prince Du's Mansion was very close later on, and Prince Du's Mansion sent people to Du's house again to select qualified juniors to enter Prince Du's Mansion. As for the rest, my father and Second Uncle are not clear. Shicheng is remote. , and there is not much news to circulate, but both father and second uncle said that when second uncle and you returned to Shicheng, they were covered in blood, but second uncle never said a word about this matter, father He and Erbo sent people to Prince Du's Mansion to inquire, but they were also driven back by Prince Du's Mansion, and after that, Prince Du's Mansion never contacted our Du family from Shicheng again."
Du Xiaoman finally said to Du Shaofu, this time when she went back to Shicheng, she purposely went to find out about the situation with Du Wangfu, and that's all she knew.
"Could it be that Prince Du's Mansion has something to do with that incident?"
Listening to Du Xiaoman's words, and counting the time back then, Du Shaofu had to suspect that Du Wangfu might have something to do with those people who left his family back then, or else with the strength of Du Wangfu, the drunkard father went with Du Wangfu again Recently, ordinary forces dare not easily offend Prince Du's Mansion.
"I've also heard of some cases at this time."
Hearing this, Ouyang Shuang looked at Du Shaofu and Du Xiaoman, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Actually, I overheard what my father and mother said, saying that Du Wang's mansion is too unkind, and I'm sorry for Uncle Tingxuan. Worth, at the beginning I wondered how Du Wangfu and Uncle Tingxuan were related, but now I know that you are of the same clan."
"Is that all you know?"
Du Shaofu asked, frowning slightly, judging from Ouyang Shuang's words, something must have happened between Du Wangfu and the drunkard father, or even Du Wangfu owed the drunkard father.
"I don't know much. If you need it, you should go to Lanling City and ask my parents." Ouyang Shuang said.
"En." Du Shaofu nodded slightly, if it seems necessary, he still has to go to Lanling City to ask about the situation.
Immediately from Du Xiaoman's mouth, Du Shaofu once again learned about the current situation of the Du family and Shicheng, the eldest sister Du Xiaoman also went to Lanling City, met the second brother Du Yunlong, and learned that the world will also develop in Lanling City It is extremely good, and has already become the top force in Lanling City.
"Where's Du Xiaoyao?"
After chatting with eldest sister, Ouyang Shuang, Du Xiaoqing, etc. for a long time, Du Shaofu discovered that Du Xiaoyao was not there.
"It seems that I went to get the elixir. Every time the second brother can find a lot of elixir, but let me not tell outsiders."
Du Xiaoqing looked at Du Shaofu with innocent eyes, Du Xiaoman and Ouyang Shuang smiled, every time Du Xiaoyao went out, she would be able to eat a lot of elixir, in her heart, the brother in front of her With the elder sister Du Xiaoman, Ouyang Shuang is naturally not an outsider, so he can tell.
"Take the elixir?"
When Du Shaofu heard this, he was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately smiled wryly, the place where Du Xiaoyao went to get the elixir, Du Shaofu knew without even thinking about it, there is no other place except the medicine field of Tianwu Academy.
"Du Shaofu save me, save me quickly."
Just as Du Shaofu's voice fell, there was a sudden tremor in the ground, and then a golden streamer came out, and the golden talisman secret pattern flickered, turning into a golden macaque figure, and finally fell on Du Shaofu's shoulder, it was Du Xiaoyao .
It's just that Du Xiaoyao's body at this time has a feeling of disgrace, and the golden pupil fluctuates, which makes people look pitiful, and if people who don't know look at it, they will really be deceived, and they don't know at all. Behind this cute and pitiful appearance, how fierce is this guy.
