At dusk, wearing the afterglow of the sunset, Zhu Yushou rode an old horse that seemed to fall down at any time and returned to the long-lost Jiangning City.

He knew the city gate guards and smiled and said hello: "It's Brother Zhang, you are on duty again today."

When the elder brother Zhang saw him, he showed a surprised expression on his face and greeted: "Brother Shou, are you back? Your family has been looking for you for three days!"

Zhu Yushou said helplessly: "There is no way, something happened on the way."

"Why are you alone, who are the guards around you?"

"All dead!"

Zhu Yushou said in a depressed mood: "I'll go back to the family first, and I'll talk to you if I have time!"

Brother Zhang smiled and said, "You should go back to the family first!"

From the city gate to the Zhu family, many people who knew Zhu Yushou greeted him along the way, and he responded with a smile.

After all, he had lived in Jiangning City for sixteen years, and before that, he knew that his qualifications were destined to not be able to achieve any great achievements in practicing.

So he devoted more energy to interpersonal communication, from street vendors to family elites, he was willing to make friends with deliberately.

After all, he lived on Earth in his previous life in the 21st century and knew the role of connections.

So he is very popular in Jiangning City or within the Zhu family.

Unlike some time travelers, they are surrounded by enemies, as if they cannot survive without the strength of the world and the air.

When he returned to step into the Zhu family gate again, someone immediately informed him of his parents.

Zhu Yushou himself had to go to the family office first.

The authorities in charge record all personnel dispatch and information within the Zhu family, from the head and elders to the servants.

Zhu Yushou went out this time and lost four guards. According to the clan rules, Zhu Yushou, as the person involved, must go to the office hall to make an explanation.

By the huge artificial lake of the Zhu family, Zhu Yushou boarded a small boat.

It is said that the first generation of the Zhu family's owners like gardens, so the Zhu family not only covers a vast area, has pavilions, towers, exquisite layout and unique ingenuity.

In addition, a long canal was dug, which attracted the water from the Dan River outside the city and built a huge artificial lake.

Therefore, most of the buildings in the Zhu Mansion are built by the water, and the more important ones, such as accounting offices, office halls, alchemy rooms, arsenals, library halls, etc., are all built on independent artificial islands in the middle of the lake.

This design is not only for the sake of garden scenery, but also for fire and theft. If outsiders enter Zhu Mansion and do not know the path, they will not take long to get lost in the winding corridor flower paths.

Even if you know the road, if you are not water-free or have no boats and extradition, it will be difficult to move forward.

"Master Shou, the elder in charge heard that you are back alone. I believe you must come here, so I have already been waiting inside. Please!"

As soon as he got off the boat, a servant wearing a soapy felt hat immediately greeted him with a slightly face.

"Then let's go."

Zhu Yushou nodded and said.

In order to facilitate family personnel management, the Zhu family rules stipulate that all children of the Zhu family must go to the prefectural hall to report their cultivation, personal information, and write portraits to the file.

Therefore, Zhu Yushou has long been familiar with the Zhu family's presidency.

After passing through the front hall of the office, he lifted a black curtain. In a huge room, Zhu Yushou saw the elder of the office hall sitting behind a red sandalwood table. Next to him were two written documents.

"Zhu Yushou has met the elder in charge!"

Zhu Yushou bowed to the elder in charge. The elder held the power of personnel dispatch in the clan and had great power in the clan.

But in Zhu Yushou's impression, this elder always looked amiable and kind old man, and Zhu Yushou still respected him quite respected.

"Yu Shou, I am very pleased that you can return safely." The elder in charge led the leader slightly and said kindly:

"But this time you lost four guards. Although it was not a big deal, according to the clan rules, I have to ask you a few questions for reporting and filing. You just need to answer truthfully!"

Zhu Yushou nodded to express his understanding!

"Then you sit down."

The elder in charge reached out and Zhu Yushou immediately sat down on a chair in front of the sandalwood table.

"Zhu Yushou, now you will tell us the whole process of this outing in detail."

Zhu Yushou was prepared and immediately explained in detail the story of his kidnapped out this time.

Of course, the system was naturally concealed, and it was said that it was rescued by a master who came to sweep the copycat in Heifeng Village.

In the lobby, the elder in charge listened carefully to every detail of Zhu Yushou, and the two clerks wrote quickly and recorded them one by one.

"In other words, the four guards around you were all killed by bandits from Heifeng Village?"

"Yes."

"Do you know the strength of the bandits in the Black Wind Village?"

Zhu Yushou nodded and said half-truely: "It is clear that they have more than a hundred ordinary bandits and seven leaders. Six of them are all in the Qi Realm. The strongest one, I can't tell the depth, but at least they have the strength above the Tongji Realm."

The elder in charge asked again: "Do you know what kind of strength and identity the person who saved you is?"

Zhu Yushou shook his head and said, "I don't know the identity of that person, and he didn't say his name. However, he can defeat the six leaders of Heifeng Village with his own strength, and his strength should be close to the Marrow Cleansing Realm."

"Okay, the question is over, Yushou, you can go back. These days, your parents are worried about it!"

After asking the last question, the elder in charge smiled and signaled that Zhu Yushou could leave, and then said to the two deacons around him:

"After the record is completed, go to the archives, notify the accountants, and prepare for the pensions of the families of the four guards!"

"Yushou left."

Zhu Yushou nodded, stood up and said goodbye, and walked out of the office.

After boarding a small boat again and crossing a winding waterway, Zhu Yushou docked in a quiet villa.

On the shore, a middle-aged couple with a pretty appearance had been waiting for a long time.

It was Zhu Yushou's father Zhu Qingyang and his mother Jiang Yunong.

Zhu Yushou got out of the boat and was about to salute, Jiang Yunong couldn't wait to step forward two steps, and took his son who had been thinking about day and night into his arms, sobbing slightly:

"Shou'er, where have you been going? Are you going to be anxious to death?"

Feeling Jiang Yunong's loving mother's love, Zhu Yushou felt warm in his heart, put his arms around his mother, and comforted softly: "Mother, isn't your child back safely?"

Jiang Yunong let go of Zhu Yushou, gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back!"

Zhu Yushou carefully comforted his mother, knelt down in front of Zhu Qingyang, and said, "Father, the child is back!"

"Hmph! You guy, you know how to come back! I thought you were wild outside and didn't even want your home!"

Although Zhu Qingyang's mouth was hard, the tears faintly visible in the corners of his eyes still betrayed his deep love for his son.

"Okay, it's a happy event for my son to return safely. Who are you showing off with a smelly rack there?"

Jiang Yunong gave Zhu Qingyang a fierce look, stepped forward and helped his son up, and said:

"Let's go, son, mom asked the kitchen to make your favorite shark fin cooking bear paws and dragon bones Batang soup. Let's have a meal, let this old guy eat the river breeze here with his own rack!"

As he said that, he took Zhu Yushou's hand and entered the villa.

Before leaving, Zhu Yushou could only look at his father with sympathy, and then went to enjoy the long-lost meal.

"What a loving mother is so bad." The image of a strict father was shattered in an instant. Zhu Qingyang sighed helplessly, and then quickly followed.
