When the season is late autumn, the green leaves on the branches can still be seen in the green hills, but Xuanzhou City is a depression in late autumn. The few trees in the city have all lost their leaves, leaving bare branches. The autumn wind blew more sand into the city, and a layer of yellow sand fell on the roads paved with bluestone slabs and houses with gray tiles and white walls. During this season, Xuanzhou people try to go out as little as possible, so as not to go out, they will come back with a whole body of dust and yellow sand.
Long Xuan sat on the horse and looked at the small city not far away.
"Your Majesty, that is Xuanzhou City," the officials in the northwest region pointed to Xuanzhou City and told Long Xuan.
Long Xuanyi urged the horse he stepped off to run towards Xuanzhou City.
A group of officials and soldiers followed behind Long Xuan, and the group of horses hooves hurriedly brought up the yellow sand in the sky.
Suddenly, such a large group of well-dressed people came and entered the city shouting, making Xuanzhou people startled.
"The compound of the Xiangyong Group here is the original government office of Xuanzhou," the local officials in the northwest said to Long Xuan after entering the city, "Your Majesty, go there."
"Lead the way," Long Xuan said. There is not even a government office here. It seems to be a good place to hide. Will Luo Wei be in this city? Long Xuan looked at the people standing on both sides of the street, and his eyes swept across the faces of these people. There were very few young people, and they were all old people.
"Life is not easy when there is no jade here," the official explained to Long Xuan when he saw Long Xuan looking at the people of Xuanzhou: "Young people can't stand the hard times, so they all leave if they can."
"There are still children," Long Xuan said, seeing several children at the corner, "This city will not be destroyed."
"Your Majesty's lesson is," the official hurriedly flattered Long Xuandao.
"Let's lead the way," Long Xuan has always been unresponsive to this kind of flattery, and said coldly to the official: "How many times do you want me to say it?"
The official rushed to the front of the team to lead the way, thinking that getting close to Tianyan was an opportunity to climb to the sky in one step, but accompanied Wang along the way, the official deeply felt that he should still be a local official, this The Son of Heaven is not someone like him can serve.
Without Luo Wei, Long Xuan took a look at everyone on the street, and felt disappointed again. He really wanted to see Luo Wei as soon as he entered Xuanzhou City, so that his heart would not stop. Hanging in the air made him feel flustered and uncomfortable. Long Xuan now has a faint feeling that if Luo Wei could not be found in Xuanzhou. Then he really will never see Rowe in his entire life.
After the compound of the Xiangyong Group arrived, everyone dismounted.
However, Long Xuan sat on the horse and looked at the mansion, which was big enough and didn't look like a government office, and asked the local official in the northwest who ran in front of his horse: "Without the government office, who will be responsible for the affairs in this city? Tube?"
The officials hadn't come to Xuanzhou for a long time, and they couldn't answer Long Xuan's question, so sweat broke down on the spot.
"You don't know?" Long Xuan's voice became colder.
When the lawsuit wanted to kneel down to plead guilty to Long Xuan, the leader of the Xiangyong Group ran over.
"Wei Xiangyong," the official saw the leader, really saw the savior, and hurriedly called the leader to Long Xuan's horse.
"Your surname is Wei?" Long Xuan asked before the middle-aged leader could speak.
The leader looked at Long Xuan's appearance, guessing that Long Xuan was the biggest official here, and hurriedly rushed to Long Xuan with a fist and said, "If you go back to your lord, the villain's surname is Wei."
"Is Wei a big name in this city?" Long Xuan asked.
"Yes, there are a lot of people with the Wei surname in this city," said the leader.
"Is it the same clan?" Long Xuan asked again.
The leader didn't know what Long Xuan wanted to ask, but he still replied, "Yes."
Long Xuan stomped off his horse and walked towards the gate of the open house.
The official bumped the boss on the shoulder and asked him to follow Long Xuan.
The leader ran behind Long Xuan in a hurry, and immediately two guards clamped the leader on the left and the right.
Long Xuan walked into the hall of the house, glanced at the Taishi chair in the right position, and saw the yellow sand on the first floor.
When he was busy, the attendant stepped forward, and there was no time to prepare any rags, so he wiped the Taishi chair carefully with his sleeves.
"Since they are from the same clan, then some clan members have returned, what should you do?" Long Xuan had already asked the leader a question when he was waiting for the attendant to clean the chair.
"There are very few clansmen who have come back here," the leader said.
"Few come back, that means there are still ones coming back?"
"Yes, my lord, this is my hometown anyway, and those who go out will come back to retire."
"Then all the old people came back?"
The leader thought about it and said, "Basically."
"No young man has ever come back?" Long Xuan's disappointment grew bigger and bigger. He saw that Xuanzhou was a small city with few people. If Wei Lan brought Luo Wei back to Xuanzhou, it would be impossible for no one to watch. to them.
"If you don't know what to say, let your patriarch speak," the officials in the northwest had been watching, and now said to the leader, "Don't just talk nonsense if you don't know."
The leader heard the warning in the official's words, and hurriedly said: "I have already sent someone to call, and it will be there in a while."
Long Xuan sat down, thinking in his heart that if he couldn't ask, the city was so small, and he would search from one family to another, and it wouldn't take much time.
Sure enough, within a while, the old patriarch of the Wei family arrived.
"You are the patriarch," Long Xuan said with a slight smile on his face to the old patriarch who saluted him, "Excuse me for this trip."
"The villain doesn't dare," the old patriarch said hurriedly, "If you have something to ask the villain, the villain knows everything."
Long Xuan asked, "In your city, have any young clansmen returned to live in the last few years?"
The old patriarch did not think about it for a while like the head of Xiangyong, and directly said to Long Xuan: "Yes." "How many?" Long Xuan asked hurriedly.
"Not many, not many," said the old patriarch.
Long Xuan said, "Do you know their names?"
At this time, the old patriarch asked Long Xuandao: "My lord, are you here to find someone or to arrest someone?"
"Presumptuous!" The local officials in the northwest were so frightened that they hurriedly shouted to stop the old patriarch.
"It's okay," Long Xuan glanced at the official.
The official was seen by Long Xuan, and he quickly lowered his head.
"I'm here to find someone," Long Xuan said slowly to the old patriarch: "One of my little brothers is also surnamed Wei, from Xuanzhou. He left the army a few years ago. He is kind to me. I heard from him that he was going to return to his hometown, so he specially came here from the capital to find him. If the old man knows the whereabouts of my little brother, I hope you can tell me."
The old patriarch asked: "Then, sir, dare to ask, what is the name of your little brother?"
"His name is Wei Lan," Long Xuan said, "I don't know if he will use this name after he returns home."
The old patriarch said, "Could it be Nan Ge'er that your lord is looking for?"
