It's no wonder that the Dugu family is so nervous. After all, they experienced a tragic war between the two places. Many people in the Dugu family died, both the younger and older generations.
Now the Dugu family is facing suppression from the Zhou royal family, and the situation is extremely difficult. Everyone in the family is worried, fearing that the Dugu family will be removed from this huge Xuan Kingdom if they are not careful.
Therefore, when the nameless flying boat landed directly in front of the ancestral home of the Dugu family, a large number of members of the Dugu family immediately came out and surrounded the flying boat tightly, with their eyes fixed on the flying boat.
Because there is a magic circle in the flying boat, the situation inside cannot be seen from the outside. The people in the Dugu family don't know how many people are on this flying boat. They just see that this flying boat is extraordinary in style. Fifty people.
At this time, several more people came out of the Dugu family, all of them middle-aged people in their forties or fifties. They were considered the middle-aged and younger generation of the Dugu family who were in their prime.
As soon as these three middle-aged people appeared, the young people of the Dugu family felt confident and were not as nervous as before.
"I don't know which party you are a distinguished guest. Is it a little too rude to intrude on my Dugu family's ancestral home like this?" The middle-aged man who looked to be in his fifties said in a deep voice.
Although the Dugu family is no longer what it used to be, and the situation is also worrying, after all, if you lose, you will not lose, and if you defeat, you will not fall. You still have the momentum you should have. Besides, this is at your own doorstep. If you don't have the confidence to give in, , then the Dugu family is really going to be doomed.
However, the person who spoke was still a little uneasy in his heart. He didn't know how many people were on the flying boat, and he didn't know whether they were friends or foes. What if an enemy came looking for revenge
The magic circle disappeared, and there were only two people on the flying boat, a man and a woman, both of whom were young.
"Three uncles, after not seeing each other for several years, do you not recognize your niece?" A clear voice sounded, and Dugu Nian spoke indifferently, appearing in front of the Dugu family in red clothes.
The three middle-aged people were startled when they saw Dugu Nian, and then their faces showed surprise and confusion.
"It's you!" The three middle-aged Dugu people said almost in unison.
Dugu Nian said with a faint smile: "My niece has met three uncles."
The three of them looked at each other. They never expected that Dugu Nian was back. In the past seven or eight years, Dugu Nian had never contacted anyone in the Dugu family, let alone returned to the Dugu family once. Most of the Dugu family Everyone thought that Dugu Nian might have died in the war between the two places.
As for the fact that Dugu Nian was taken away to Qihai, the Dugu family didn't know at all. Even among the Upper Three Kingdoms, it had not been spread, and it was considered a relatively secretive matter.
How could these three people not be surprised when they suddenly saw Dugu Nian appear
The younger generation of the Dugu family naturally know Dugu Nian. After all, she is the only female in the direct line of the Dugu family, and the others are all boys. Therefore, Dugu Nian is deeply loved by the old head of the Dugu family. Before she met Fang Lin, she was loved by thousands of people in the Dugu family, so she was arrogant and domineering like a rich lady.
Everyone saw Fang Lin again, and their expressions changed again.
"Nian'er, you're finally back!" Dugu Nian's uncle, Dugu Xiong, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his fifties, said, his astonishment subsided and his face was filled with joy.
Dugu Nian nodded slightly, her attitude could not be described as very enthusiastic. It was obvious that she did not have many deep feelings for these so-called family relatives.
After all, the current Dugu Nian is no longer the naive and somewhat ignorant young lady from Xiangxi. The experiences of these years will eventually make a person change.
Dugu Nian was still the same Dugu Nian as before, and that was only in front of Fang Lin. In front of other people, Dugu Nian couldn't let go of everything like he did in front of Fang Lin.
"I'll come back and have a look, but I don't know why the three uncles are so nervous?" Dugu Nian looked at the stunned young members of the Dugu family and asked the three of Dugu Xiong.
Fang Lin also quietly got off the flying boat, came to Dugu Nian's side, and bowed slightly to the three of them.
After all, he was also Dugu Nian's elder, so Fang Lin naturally had to be more polite, and there was nothing wrong with him being a junior.
Dugu Xiong and the other three looked at Fang Lin with a strange look. Only Dugu Xiong nodded in greeting, and the other two did not respond to Fang Lin. It was obvious that Fang Lin was still a little afraid and repelled.
After all, when Fang Lin kidnapped Dugu Nian outside Xuandu and fought against Emperor Xuan, it had a great impact on the Dugu family, causing many people in the Dugu family to fear and reject Fang Lin.
After all, without Fang Lin, the Dugu family is now in-laws with the Zhou royal family of the Xuan Kingdom, and they would not be in this situation.
It's just that Fang Lin was already a famous person before the war between the two places. Although his life and death were not known for seven years and he was gradually forgotten, the Dugu family would never forget Fang Lin no matter what.
"It's just a misunderstanding. I thought it was an enemy coming to the door, but I never thought it was Nian'er who came back." Dugu Xiong waved to a group of Dugu family children, and they naturally returned to their ancestral home.
"Now that you're back, let's go with my uncle to meet your grandpa. He has always missed you these years." Duguxiong said and raised his eyes to look at Fang Lin.
Dugu Nian hummed softly.
Dugu Xiong and the other three were in front, leading Dugu Nian and Fang Lin into the gate of the Dugu family's ancestral home.
Along the way, many people from the Dugu family came up to talk and get close to Dugu Nian, but no one paid attention to Fang Lin. Many people even looked at Fang Lin with hostility. If looks could kill, Fang Lin was afraid that he would already be there. It is riddled with holes.
Fang Lin didn't care at all, with a calm expression and steady steps, as if he hadn't seen the people of the Dugu family at all.
Duguxiong and the other three were also paying attention to Fang Lin secretly. Seeing that this son was calm and calm, they felt more and more unfathomable about Fang Lin.
Although the three of them were a little cold towards Fang Lin, they did not dare to offend Fang Lin.
Along the way, Dugu Xiong also talked about the situation of the Dugu family in recent years. Dugu Nian listened silently and didn't speak much.
Fang Lin, who was also listening, knew clearly that the Dugu family was now almost forced into a desperate situation. No wonder the people of the Dugu family rushed out as soon as their flying boat landed, looking like they were desperate.
However, Fang Lin didn't care about these things. He just accompanied Dugu Nian on this trip so that Dugu Nian could go home and visit his parents and grandfather.
As for the difficulties of the Dugu family, Fang Lin didn't want to pay attention to it, but if Dugu wanted to intervene, he wouldn't stand idly by.
When walking around a long corridor, an old man walked towards him, wearing a brown cannon, with a thin body and a somewhat gloomy face.
"Second Master." Duguxiong and the others quickly bowed and saluted the old man.
Dugu Nian's expression was as cold as ice and showed no reaction. Fang Lin narrowed his eyes. This was really a narrow road for enemies.
