Flying Clouds in Another World

Chapter 206: Another Foreign Visitor

Deputy Commander Zhu took the gold, weighed it with disdain, and then said impatiently: "Can your young master compare with the one in front! He is the only son of Earl Le An! Earl Le An, you don't know! You should know about the invasion of the Northern Wilderness at the beginning of the year! Many counties in the border areas were defeated, but Earl Le An made hundreds of thousands of barbarians never return! And the one in front was the little butcher who personally ordered the massacre of tens of thousands of barbarians! Don't be fooled by his appearance as a weak scholar! Now he is also a person who can stop the children in the Northern Wilderness from crying! Can your young master afford to offend him? You'd better get out of the city quickly!"

"Ah! He is Butcher Liu's son, Little Butcher! No wonder, no wonder! Thank you for telling me! Thank you for letting us go! We'll leave now! Let's go now!"

The old man hurried to a carriage and said a few words, and the convoy then changed its direction and entered the city through the secondary gate.

Deputy Brigade Commander Zhu looked at the three carriages driving into the secondary gate with contempt, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and ordered a confidant beside him: "Go to the garrison camp and tell Lao Liu that his nephew has arrived!"

"Yes! Sir Marshal!"

The southern part of Changluo City is directly connected to the fast horse road outside the city by two roads. Generally speaking, the roads in the city are only for carriages and horses, and pedestrians are not allowed to enter on foot.

In order to cross the highway, many overpasses were built, with a narrow bridge every one mile and a wide bridge every five miles.

Liu Feiyun and his party were galloping on the road in the city. Although their speed was not as fast as the road outside the city, it was not much slower either.

Looking at the tall buildings over ten zhang (one zhang is taken as two and a half meters in this book) on both sides of the highway, I was also greatly shocked!

Go west along the city road, reach Tianyuan Square in the center of the south city, then turn north and go another 20 miles to reach the Imperial City District in the north city.

After entering the Imperial City District and coming to the Territory Department, reporting to the relevant officials, receiving new badges for entering and leaving Changluo City, and handing in tribute to the Emperor, Liu Feiyun and his party had finally finished the most important business at hand.

After finishing this series of things, it was already noon. When Liu Feiyun came out of the main gate of the Zhuling Division, he saw an old man coming up to him quickly!

"Excuse me, who is the grandson of the Third Master Le Anbo's family, Liu Feiyun! This old servant was sent by the old Earl Fufengbo to welcome the grandson."

Before Liu Feiyun could answer, the captain of the Iron Guard stepped forward and said with a smile, "I didn't expect the old earl to trick you into coming here! Young Master, this is the butler of the old earl's mansion, Butler Hu!"

"Oh! It's Uncle Hu! My boy, I am sorry for your rudeness!"

"Oh, Master Sun! You can't say that! This will only shorten the life of this old servant! Master Sun, have you finished your work? If you have, then go home with this old servant as soon as possible! The old earl hasn't even had lunch yet because he is waiting for you!"

"Ah!? How can this be possible! How can I let Grandpa wait for me! Hurry up! We have to leave quickly. We can't let him wait anxiously!"

"Yes! Please follow me, Master Sun!"

The convoy set off and headed straight for the noble residences in the western part of the north city.

Just as the convoy passed the State Council, a group of people came out. One of them was surprised to see Liu Feiyun in front of the convoy, and then shouted loudly: "The one in front is Master Liu Feiyun! Master Liu, please stay!"

The tone was very strange, obviously not something that an imperial person could say.

Liu Feiyun was also stunned. He pulled the reins to stop the horse and looked in the direction of the sound. He actually saw the foreign visitors Thanos Kane and his group whom he met in the deserted building in Anping County last year.

"Brother Thanos! Why are you here?"

"Hahaha! It's really Master Liu! Master Liu, how are you? I'm so grateful for your hospitality last time. How about I entertain you today? Let's go find a good restaurant and reminisce about the past!"

"I haven't seen you for nearly a year. Brother Thanos speaks the Imperial language more and more fluently! But his relationship with me has become more and more distant! He no longer calls me Brother Liu, but Master Liu instead! But I just arrived in the capital today, and I have many important matters to deal with, so I really don't have time to reminisce with Brother Thanos! Why don't I wait a few days, and then I can have a good chat with Brother Thanos!"

"Oh my! Brother Liu! Isn't it okay that I am wrong? Since Brother Liu is too busy now, let's meet again another day! How about we host a welcoming party for you at Linglong Pavilion in three days? This time! No matter what, I can't let Brother Liu spend any more money!"

"That's right! Brother Liu thinks it sounds better! In that case, I will not refuse. Three days later, we will meet again at Linglong Pavilion! I'll take my leave first!"

"Take care, brother Liu! We'll see you in three days!"

In front of the Earl of Fufeng's mansion, a sturdy old man with silver hair walked back and forth, muttering from time to time, "Why haven't you come yet! Why haven't you come yet!"

A fifty-year-old woman standing nearby also kept persuading him, "Don't worry, father-in-law! It's almost here! It's almost here! Why don't you sit down and rest for a while!"

"How can I not be anxious? It's been almost twenty years! Twenty years! Since the child was born, I haven't even seen him once! Your mother-in-law who died early also died with regrets because she didn't see the child before she died! It's a pity that my Fufeng Liu family has been passed down for hundreds of years, but now it has only one seedling in a thousand hectares of land! I'm really afraid that I won't be able to see this child before I die!"

"Look at what you said! How unlucky! You should be happy today! How can you keep saying these things!"

"That's right! Alas! Didn't those guys in the Simingjian say that? It's rare that our Liu family has been blessed for hundreds of years, so it's only right that we don't have many people now! We can't force it! We can only let nature take its course, and then there may be a turnaround! Let's not talk about this! Go and see if lunch is ready! Think about it again, who else hasn't been notified! Tonight our Liu family is going to have a big family banquet to welcome my precious grandson!"

The woman felt very upset after hearing this, but she could only agree and go into the house to check again.

This woman is Tao, the legal wife of Liu Shixiong, the commander of the left division and right brigade of the Qinglong Army in the imperial guards.

And that old man was naturally the current Earl of Fufeng, Liu Feiyun’s grandfather, Liu Jingang.

Not long after Tao entered, she saw a team of carriages and horses rushing towards her. They slowed down and stopped when they approached the gate of the mansion.

"Hu Zi! My precious grandson is back! Tell me quickly! Which one is my precious grandson!" Liu Jingang shouted excitedly when he saw Butler Hu taking the lead.

"Reply to the Earl! This is Master Sun!"

"This child... is my precious grandson!" Liu Jingang looked at Liu Feiyun, who was dressed as a scholar. His lips trembled and tears flowed down.

Liu Feiyun looked at the sturdy old man with white hair and beard in front of him, and quickly dismounted, stepped forward and knelt down, saying: "I am your unfilial grandson, Liu Feiyun, and I am here to see you, grandfather! Is your grandfather well?"
