Chapter 409: Promotion, Private Residence
"Master, my father, my mother, can I bury them first?"
Mr. Zhang was a little hesitant.
"Foolish child, all the kindness we showed you has vanished, leaving us nothing but two stinking skins. If you can't see through this, what's the point of severing our ties?"
"Disciple understands!"
Mr. Zhang kowtowed three times solemnly in front of the bodies of his father and mother, then stood up.
The Taoist Master Jieyun stepped forward and helped Mr. Zhang treat the wound on his shoulder.
Then, Mr. Zhang followed the Taoist Master of Disaster out of his own door, left Anding Town, and headed south. He never returned to Anding Town in his life.
Zeng took Mr. Zhang's two children and sold all the Zhang family's property and left Anding Town.
From that day on, the Zhang family of Anding Town only existed in the memories of the people of Anding Town.
No one would have known that several years later, the helpful Mr. Zhang in their memory would become a thorn in the side of the Tang Dynasty, making their peaceful lives no longer peaceful.
Of course, this is all later.
…
When the Taoist Master Jieyun was leading his new disciple to start his path of arduous cultivation, three riders slowly came outside the west gate of the capital city, the core area of the Tang Dynasty.
Old Master Xu, along with Old Master Xu Da and Old Master Xu Er, set out from Maoyuan County and sped all the way to the capital.
However, they had not expected that they would be subjected to repeated inspections upon entering the outskirts of the capital. As a result, their entry into the capital was repeatedly delayed.
The imperial court's manhunt for the Taoist Master Jieyun has never stopped.
It was also at this time that Old Master Xu, Boss Xu Da and Boss Xu Er learned that while they were fighting the Northern Barbarians, something big had also happened in the capital.
The West Mountain where the imperial mausoleum is located was set on fire.
Although none of the mausoleums showed any signs of being damaged, the ambush encountered by Duke Changle and Duke Yong'an on their way to the imperial mausoleum clearly meant that the matter was not that simple.
Unfortunately, the imperial court sent nine waves of imperial envoys to inspect the imperial mausoleum, but they did not find any abnormalities.
"Dad, where are we going?"
After the three of them entered the capital, Xu Laoer turned around and glanced at his father.
"Let's go see your fourth uncle first!"
Mr. Xu thought about it for a moment and gave the answer.
Zuo Qiu was promoted from Anshun County to the position of prefect in Jingcheng Prefecture. After that, he wrote several letters to Mr. Xu, most of which reported good news but not bad news.
Now that Mr. Xu has arrived in the capital, he naturally wants to see what Zuo Qiu is doing in the capital.
"Dad, please lead the way!"
Xu Lao Er glanced at his father and said, "I'm not familiar with the capital. I don't know how to get around!"
"Wu Chengbo, please stay!"
Just as Mr. Xu was about to turn around with Boss Xu Da and Boss Xu Er, a slightly sharp voice suddenly came from the side.
A eunuch, escorted by several imperial guards, hurriedly caught up.
"The Emperor has spoken out, summoning Marquis Wucheng, the County Master Yongwu, and the eldest son of the Xu family to the palace for an audience!"
The emperor sent someone to bring a message, so it was naturally impossible for Mr. Xu to go to the capital to look for Zuo Qiu again.
He could only bring Xu Lao Da and Xu Lao Er into the palace.
When Old Master Xu was little, he often visited the palace. Back then, he would often go to the palace to play with his mother. Even the current emperor had been held in Old Master Xu's arms when he was little.
Of course, at that time, Mr. Xu was just a baby of a few years old, and Emperor Yongping was just a baby.
Old Master Xu vaguely remembered that her mother had a very good relationship with the Empress Dowager, who was only a noble concubine at that time.
However, after his mother got into trouble, the imperial concubine in the palace disappeared.
When he entered the palace again, Mr. Xu had a complicated mentality.
Revisiting an old place?
But this place can’t be considered as a hometown.
As for his mother's affairs, everyone in the palace, especially the so-called imperial concubine who had a good relationship with her mother, now the empress dowager, was probably involved.
Unfortunately, he doesn't have any evidence now.
But that doesn't matter.
Some things, sometimes, don't actually require evidence, and inference alone is close enough to the truth.
So, sometimes, evidence is not that important.
The reason why he didn't take revenge was simply because he didn't have the ability to do so now.
So, this requires evidence!
Only with evidence can we write an article.
…
Gantian Temple.
Emperor Yongping sat on the dragon throne, and half of the civil and military officials and nobles in the court were present.
When Old Master Xu led Old Master Xu and Old Master Xu II into the Gantian Hall, everyone in the hall looked over.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Old Master Xu saluted Emperor Yongping and said, "Please forgive me for not being able to perform the full ceremony while I am in armor!"
Not only was Mr. Xu wearing armor at this moment, but even the Second and First Xu were also wearing armor.
On the armor of the three men, various knife marks, gunshot marks, and even marks left by arrows were clearly visible.
In the final battle at Huangfengkou, even the incredibly brave Xu Laoer was wounded.
However, the three men's fighting power was too high, their physical fitness was good enough, and the armor they wore was of high-end quality, so their injuries were relatively minor.
But the armor on their bodies bore traces of a bloody battle.
"No need to be so polite, Lord Wu Cheng!"
Emperor Yongping did not think there was anything wrong with Mr. Xu's version and responded enthusiastically.
Then Emperor Yongping waved his hand.
The eunuch standing nearby immediately stepped forward and read the imperial edict.
The imperial edict was another round of praise for both civil and military virtues, and then got to the point. Old Xu was promoted to Marquis Wucheng, the second son Xu was promoted to Earl Yongwu, and the eldest son Xu was given the honorary title of a fifth-rank general.
In addition to promoting three people, Emperor Yongping also specially granted Old Man Xu a mansion in the capital.
This mansion once belonged to Xu Huairen, Duke of Antai.
Of course, before this mansion fell into Xu Huairen's hands, it was a private residence of Mr. Xu's mother.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After knowing the location of the mansion given by Emperor Yongping, Mr. Xu expressed his gratitude to Emperor Yongping sincerely.
This private house was built according to the drawings designed by his mother herself, and it was different from any other house Mr. Xu had ever seen.
Unfortunately, when his mother left the Xu Mansion, the mansion was taken back by the Xu Mansion.
After coming out of the palace, Mr. Xu did not go to see Zuo Qiu, but planned to go see his mother's private residence first.
He also spent several years here when he was a child.
This was once his mother's favorite house.
Now, he has taken the house back with his own ability.
The father and his two sons rode their horses slowly and soon arrived at their destination.
However, when the three arrived at the gate of the house, they saw that the gate was open and a group of people dressed as servants of the Xu Mansion were moving things from inside to outside.
"What?"
"Put them all down!"
Seeing his father frown, Xu Laoer roared with extraordinary foresight.
When the servants of the Xu Mansion heard Xu Lao Er's fierce shout, they all shuddered.
Today's update is complete, dear friends, good night! Muah, see you tomorrow! Oh, I still ask for monthly tickets! O(∩_∩)O Haha~
