The headquarters of the Yun Tribe was established in the Eastern Region, which was once the junction between the Xiliang Kingdom and the Dongzhu Kingdom. After the Dongzhu Kingdom was defeated and retreated thirty years ago, the six hundred miles of land that originally belonged to the Dongzhu Kingdom returned to Xiliang. .
The Yun Clan also benefited a lot from this battle. The people in the border towns respected the Yun Clan from the bottom of their hearts, not because of the strength of the family, but because they did not selfishly protect themselves before the right and wrong, but chose to protect the people and protect the Yun Clan. The family defends the country, and for many years, the children of the Yun tribe have rarely caused trouble outside, and are courteous to others. Few people use the power of the Yun tribe to bully the common people. It can be said that the people of the Eastern Region do not respect the Emperor Zhu of Xiliang, but Don't disrespect the Yun family.
Qinglong City
The headquarters of Yun Mansion was originally built on the bank of the Huangbi River in the Eastern Region. Six hundred years ago, Yun Mansion was moved here to establish Yun Mansion. The Yun Mansion was founded in the city and was named Qinglong City.
There are no officials appointed by the royal family in Qinglong City. All laws and regulations are handled by the Yun family alone.
The city lord is naturally Yun Batian, but in recent years, Yun Batian has been in poor health. Although he still bears the name of city lord, the person in charge has become Yun Xiangtian, and everyone respects Yun Xiangtian's orders. .
The horse team approached Qinglong City. When the city guards on the city wall saw the Yun clan emblem engraved on the carriage shaft, they immediately sent people to open the city gate and welcome the clan leader, young clan leader and others into the city.
Xia Yuanqiu, who was sitting in the carriage with Yuan Hao and Xing Fang, raised the curtain and looked outside. She saw that the gate of Qinglong City was still closed. She couldn't help but wonder. This situation reminded her of the incident when King Liang rebelled in the capital and forced the palace to be forced to surrender. The gates of the capital city are also closed, no one is allowed to go out or enter.
As if his thoughts were connected, Zhu Yan, who was riding on the horse, had the same idea as Xia Yuanqiu. He rode his horse forward, stopped Yun Xiangtian who was about to gallop into the city, and said in a deep voice: "Brother, you Qinglong Does the city often close its gates in broad daylight?"
Yun Xiangtian shook his head: "No, Qinglong rarely closes the city gate on weekdays. Even at night, the city gate is wide open. I don't know what happened today, but it was closed in broad daylight."
Zhu Yan asked again: "When my eldest brother came out from Nantai County, did he send any letters back home along the way?"
Yun Xiangtian nodded: "I've sent it. Every time I pass through a county, there will be a letter sent back to the clan government. They should all know that they can reach Qinglong City today."
Zhu Yan glanced at the empty city gate and frowned: "But why is no one coming out of the city to greet us?"
Yun Xiangtian waved boldly: "We Jianghu people don't like this."
Zhu Yan asked again: "What about the past? Have you ever welcomed you before? They knew that you took the clan leader out to seek medical treatment, but now that you have returned, no one cares whether the clan leader has recovered?"
Zhu Yan asked this question, and Yun Xiangtian immediately understood something. In the past, whether he or his father left the clan, when he returned to Qinglong City, there would be several clan elders greeting him outside the city. What's more, today It was he who brought his father back to his clan. Why didn't any of these elders show up
Yun Xiangtian frowned and turned to look at Zhu Yan: "What do you mean?"
Zhu Yan sighed: "I only hope that I am too worried, because I have experienced this personally, so I am very sensitive. Half a year ago, my fourth brother, King Liang, took advantage of Yuan Qiu and I to be far away from the capital, and plotted rebellion and forced the palace to control. The imperial army was stationed in the imperial city, and all the ministers loyal to the father were imprisoned and the city gates were sealed."
Yun Xiangtian recalled the recent events, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. At this moment, he was shocked to realize that in the past, he would receive a letter from his wife every ten days, telling him that everything in the clan was well, but now, it seems, I haven’t received a letter from my wife for two months. Could it be that something has really changed in the clan
