"Um?"
As soon as he returned to the gate of Yulan Chamber of Commerce, Zhou Donghuang saw three tall horses standing in front of the steps of the gate, hesitating.
On the leading horse sat a little girl, who looked about eight or nine years old at most. Just looking at her pink and jade-like profile made people feel a sense of affection.
As for the backs of the two horses at the back, there were two young men sitting on them. They looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old. One had long hair tied behind his back, and the other only had short hair that reached his ears.
"Sister, are you sure you read it correctly? That plaque says the 'Magnolia Chamber of Commerce' that Lord Hanfeng mentioned before he left?"
The short-haired boy asked the little girl at the head. Listening to what he meant, it was obvious that he didn't know how to read.
A boy of 12 or 13 years old calls an eight or nine-year-old girl 'eldest sister', which makes people feel a little weird no matter how it sounds, but the short-haired boy does not have any reluctance.
"Just because you don't know the words doesn't mean I don't know them."
The little girl put her hands on her hips and turned back to glare at the short-haired boy angrily. Then she flew off her horse and said with great skill, "Let's go in to find our benefactor and Uncle Hanfeng."
"Yes, eldest sister."
The two young men responded obediently and flew off their horses. Although their skills were both good, with the little girl Zhuyu in front of them, their performance was slightly inferior in comparison.
At this time, Zhou Donghuang had already guessed the identities of the three people.
It was the three orphans with good potential that Leng Hanfeng went out to search for and screen out on his orders last time.
The three people who had just dismounted happened to see Zhou Donghuang approaching, and watched Zhou Donghuang walk up the steps at the entrance of the Magnolia Chamber of Commerce.
"benefactor!"
Zhou Donghuang had just climbed the steps and was about to enter the door when the girl's childish, beautiful and excited voice came from behind him, followed by the sound of kneeling down with a 'pop'.
"benefactor?"
Seeing the girl kneeling behind Zhou Donghuang, the two teenagers looked at each other and reacted, then flew forward and knelt behind the girl.
"Why do you call me benefactor?"
When he heard the girl's voice, Zhou Donghuang knew that she recognized him. When he turned around, he couldn't help but smile.
"What a clever girl."
Zhou Donghuang looked at the pretty little girl in front of him and sighed inwardly. It was hard to imagine how such a girl could withstand the torture of the "Magic Needle for Changing Tendons and Cleansing the Marrow."
"Benefactor, Uncle Hanfeng said... If you hadn't asked him to come out to find us, we wouldn't be here today, so you are our benefactor."
In front of Zhou Donghuang, the girl was no longer as casual as she was when she faced the two teenagers before. Her face was serious, like a little adult.
"How did you recognize me?"
Zhou Donghuang smiled lightly.
"Ever since I heard Uncle Hanfeng mention you, my benefactor, I have really wanted to see you, my benefactor. Uncle Hanfeng specially drew a portrait of you for me... Although the painting is not as good-looking as you in person, the posture with your hands behind your back is exactly the same."
As the girl spoke, she took out the folded papers from her arms. After carefully unfolding them, a portrait of a young man appeared, and it was none other than 'Zhou Donghuang'.
However, the contours of Zhou Donghuang's face in the portrait are slightly blurred, making him not as good-looking as the real person, but his expression with his hands behind his back is exactly the same as his own.
"I didn't expect Leng Hanfeng to have such a skill."
Zhou Donghuang raised his eyebrows and said to the three little girls: "Get up and follow me in."
"Yes, benefactor."
The three little girls stood up and followed Zhou Donghuang into the Magnolia Chamber of Commerce.
"May I have your name?"
Zhou Donghuang walked side by side with the little girl, looked at the little girl with a look of affection on his face, reached out to touch her head, and asked with a smile.
"Benefactor, my name is 'Yunlu'."
While the little girl introduced herself, she did not forget to introduce the two teenagers behind her, "As for them... the one with short hair is called Zhou Han. The one with long hair is called Zhou Feng."
"Zhou Han? Zhou Feng?"
Zhou Donghuang was startled.
"Benefactor, they didn't originally have official names... Senior Hanfeng gave them them. They have your last name, and their names are taken from Uncle Hanfeng's."
Yunlu said.
"No wonder it sounds familiar."
Zhou Donghuang nodded, and then took the three of them to see Granny Lian and asked Granny Lian to arrange a place for them.
The three of them were carefully selected by Leng Hanfeng from a group of orphans. They not only withstood the torture of the "Magic Needle for Changing Tendons and Marrow Cleansing", but also passed Leng Hanfeng's loyalty test for them. There will be no doubts about their loyalty. question.
Moreover, not every orphan is called 'Chen Dandan'.
Most orphans will feel grateful when they meet someone who helps them change their destiny, follow them throughout their lives, and never betray them.
After handing the three people to Granny Lian, Zhou Donghuang went back to his room to practice. He only waited for Ah Fu to leave the customs before leaving Yunfeng County and heading to King Chu City.
It would take at least two or three days for Ah Fu to fully absorb the medicinal liquid prepared by the Millennium Zhuguo.
In the next few days, what surprised Zhou Donghuang was that his mother actually liked Yun Lu very much and even came to him to say that she wanted to adopt Yun Lu as her adopted daughter.
Zhou Donghuang knew in his heart that his mother had always wanted to have a daughter. She originally had Chen Dandan, but after Chen Dandan betrayed her, the position of a daughter in her mother's heart became vacant again.
"Xiaolu, you don't need to call me benefactor anymore, call me brother."
Since Lin Lan wants to accept Yun Lu as his adopted daughter, Zhou Donghuang is naturally happy with the beauty of the adult, and after getting along with her for a few days, he also likes the little girl Yun Lu very much.
Although she is only nine years old, Yunlu is very sensible. Even the details of her daily life reflect Yunlu's inner kindness.
"elder brother."
No matter how strong Yunlu usually seems, she is just a little girl after all. After a few days of getting along, she fell in love with this warm home. When she heard Zhou Donghuang's words, tears flowed down involuntarily.
"Why are you crying? Silly girl."
Zhou Donghuang stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears from Yun Lu's eyes, then touched her head and smiled fondly.
"Xiaolu, mother will take you shopping and buy you some nice clothes."
Lin Lan came and saw Zhou Donghuang was there, and immediately asked with a smile: "Donghuang, do you want to go out with us, mother and daughter?"
"Mom, go ahead."
Zhou Donghuang smiled and said, "I still have something to explain to Leng Hanfeng."
He planned to leave Yunfeng County tomorrow and go to King Chu City.
Of course, he hasn't told Lin Lan this yet.
"Goodbye brother."
Yun Lu said hello to Zhou Donghuang before leaving with Lin Lan.
After the two left, Zhou Donghuang asked Ah Fu behind him to call Leng Hanfeng over, "Young Master."
"Xiao Lu has recognized my mother as her adoptive mother. Let her stay with my mother from now on... When you go out to do errands, just take Zhou Han and Zhou Feng with you."
Zhou Donghuang said lightly.
He asked Leng Hanfeng to find the orphans and select the best ones, just because he wanted Leng Hanfeng to lead them to create a force of his own.
Creating such a force is not to help him, but to better protect his family so that he can move forward without worries!
"Yes, Master."
Leng Hanfeng responded respectfully. Now, after experiencing the thousand-year Zhuguo incident, he respected the young man in front of him as if he were a god.
Using one Millennium Vermillion Fruit as ten Millennium Vermilion Fruits, let alone in Yunyang, even looking at the entire Ziyun Star, perhaps no one can do it, right
Now Leng Hanfeng, after taking the medicine prepared from the thousand-year-old Zhuguo, has successfully entered the fourth level of Qi Gathering and become a fourth level Qi Gathering martial arts monk with the power of four oxen.
In the past, Leng Hanfeng never dared to dream that he could achieve such an achievement in such a short period of time.
"If I were still in Qinglang Village... I would have just entered the second level of Qi Gathering right now."
Leng Hanfeng secretly said.
"Take these two bottles of medicinal liquid... you can see the situation yourself. If it is further confirmed that Zhou Han and Zhou Feng are potential talents, then give them to them."
Zhou Donghuang raised his hand, casually threw two bottles of the medicinal solution prepared from Millennium Vermillion Fruit to Leng Hanfeng and explained.
At this point, Zhou Donghuang only had two bottles of medicinal liquid left in his hand.
One of the bottles he planned to give to Yun Lu before leaving tomorrow.
…
It was early morning on April 1, 1228 in the Ziyun calendar.
At the gate of Magnolia Chamber of Commerce, Lin Lan and Yun Lu stood side by side, watching with reluctance as the carriage pulled by three bloody horses disappeared at the end of the road.
"This kid... just told me last night that he was leaving this morning."
Lin Lan shook his head and sighed with a wry smile.
"Mom, brother is also afraid that if you find out too early, you will be even more reluctant to let him go."
Yun Lu comforted her softly: "Mom, my brother is gone, and Xiaolu is still with you. Don't be too sad."
"Silly girl, my mother is not sad... Your brother has a promising future, and my mother is also happy for him."
Lin Lan smiled and touched Yun Lu's little head. Although he said so, there was a look of reluctance in his eyes.
the other side.
Inside the carriage, Wu Nanxun looked at Zhou Donghuang in disbelief, "You... do you really want to send me back to the Wu family?"
"Otherwise, why would I leave you alive?"
Zhou Donghuang glanced at Wu Nanxun lightly, "On the next journey, you'd better not disturb my practice... If you annoy me, I don't mind leaving you halfway forever."
Hearing Zhou Donghuang's words, Wu Nanxun hurriedly shut up, but in his heart he was thinking about how he would torture Zhou Donghuang when he got to the Wu family.
"My meridians were crippled by him, and I became a useless person in martial arts. My life has been completely ruined... When I return to the Wu family, I can only dispel the hatred in my heart by cutting him into pieces with my own hands!"
While Zhou Donghuang was practicing with his eyes closed, Wu Nanxun stared at Zhou Donghuang with a pair of hateful eyes. The anger in his heart surged and he was out of control.
This time when he went out, Ah Fu did not act as a coachman for Zhou Donghuang. He sat next to Zhou Donghuang and practiced against the carriage door.
Now, the people driving the carriage are the same two coachmen who drove Wu Nanxun before. They are both descendants of the Wu family of the Guangling County Sheriff.
