Flying Clouds in Another World

Chapter 121 Returning Home

Liu Feiyun heard the shouts of the crowd and turned his head to look. He saw another large group of knights escorting a carriage coming at a high speed. When they got close, they slowly stopped. The curtain was lifted and a noble lady got off the carriage. It was Liu's mother, Chu Bihe.

Seeing that his mother had come to the county town to pick him up, Liu Feiyun could no longer care about anything else. He quickly ran to her, knelt down on the ground, and cried out in a sobbing voice: "Mom! My son is back!"

"My son! Is it really you? You are finally back! My poor son! I miss you so much!" Chu Bihe lost her former dignity and nobleness. She hugged Liu Feiyun like an ordinary village woman and burst into tears! Liu Feiyun could no longer bear her crying and couldn't stop crying. Liu Xiyao, who came over, saw this and her smiling face gradually turned into a sad one. She started crying too.

Liu Feiyun's family burst into tears, and many people in the crowd were also moved by the scene, and more discussions were heard again:

"So the chivalrous young man just now is the Earl's young master Liu Feiyun! He has grown so big!"

"He is the Earl's only son. He will inherit the Earl's title and territory in the future! So it's not an exaggeration to call him the Crown Prince!"

"Wasn't it said that this child would not live a long life and would be ill and would not live to adulthood? But now it seems that his condition has improved greatly!"

"Nonsense! Madam Chu is such a good person. She has been doing good deeds for so many years. I don't know how much good fortune she has accumulated. She should have dispelled the bad luck of the prince long ago!"

"That's right! Besides, the Earl protects the country and the people, and Madam Chu does a lot of good deeds! How can the son they gave birth to be bad! Didn't you see the prince stand up to save the girl? He didn't use the power of the Liu family to pressure others at the beginning, he relied entirely on his own ability!"

"I just hate that Master Gao is so undisciplined that he only relies on his numbers and power to bully the prince. Now, with more people and more power, he is not even worthy of carrying the prince's shoes!"

"With such a kind-hearted prince, our Anping County can be safe for decades. I just hope that God will bless the prince to live a hundred years!"

"Now that mother and son are reunited, we should congratulate them!"

"Yes! Yes! Yes! They should be congratulated. They should be congratulated."

Suddenly, voices of "Congratulations to Mrs. Chu on the reunion of her son!" were heard. At first, there were only a few sparse voices, and then they gradually became more and more numerous, and louder and louder, one after another.

Liu Feiyun and her son heard the congratulations from the crowd and finally stopped crying. The three of them got on the carriage, which moved slowly, and wherever they passed, the congratulations became louder.

Chu Bihe sat in the carriage, holding Liu Feiyun with one arm and reaching out with the other hand from time to time to wave to the onlookers, with tears in her eyes she kept repeating the words "Congratulations! Congratulations!"

Liu Feiyun nestled in Chu's arms, as if he had returned to his childhood. He looked up at his mother, whose hair was gradually turning gray, and his heart was filled with sweetness and sorrow!

Of course, it was impossible that all the people watching on both sides of the street were looking back at their families. Some people looked at Liu Feiyun in the car with mixed feelings, some disappointed, some hateful, some resentful, some regretful, some depressed, and so on.

The news of Liu Feiyun's return soon reached the ears of some people who were concerned, making them depressed and puzzled: Where has this kid been hiding recently? So many people have been looking for him since he left Songlin Valley, but they can't find any trace of him.

During this period, more than a dozen forces set up a dragnet around Anping County to wait for him, but they still couldn't find him. Instead, they lost a lot of manpower and had to retreat. Then, he suddenly appeared in Anping County, and I couldn't figure it out!

Liu Feiyun and his party left Anping County and walked for nearly thirty miles before arriving at a group of low mountains. This was the remnant of Yannan Mountain extending towards Nanting. A small river ran through the mountains, and the Liu Mansion was located by the river.

The Liu Mansion is called a mansion, but in fact it is more like a large war fortress, covering a vast area with mountains and valleys. There are more than 20,000 people living in the Le'anbo Mansion. Most of them are private slaves of the Liu family, that is, slaves, not people of the territory. For example, Liu Shihu's family is not on the county government's register of citizens, but private slaves of the Liu family.

According to the relevant laws of the empire, there is a limit on the number of slaves that can be purchased, which is often linked to one's status. However, under the rule of this court, which is becoming increasingly decadent, it is also very common to purchase and keep slaves in excess, as long as you have the money to afford them and someone in the government to support and protect you. Especially for a territorial noble like Liu Shihao who comes from aristocratic families and is a powerful person, no one dares to investigate further.

When the caravan arrived at the bank of the creek, three knights happened to rush out of the gate and meet them.

The three knights approached the carriage in a flash. The leader dismounted and said loudly, "Madam! An angel has arrived! The Earl is about to send us to urge Madam to return home quickly and go to the main hall to receive his order!"

Chu Bihe got out of the car quickly, and asked in confusion, "An angel sent up? To receive an imperial decree? Isn't it enough for the master to receive the imperial decree? Why does a woman like me need to go?"

"Madam, the angel has made it clear that you must go with the Earl to receive the order! You'd better hurry!" the knight replied hastily.

Chu Bihe nodded, and said to Liu Feiyun: "You should also go take a shower and change clothes quickly, and then come with us to receive the imperial edict! You will have to face this kind of thing often in the future!"

What else could Liu Feiyun say? He could only nod in agreement, but he was also wondering: An angel from heaven! ? Isn't it just a eunuch who delivered imperial edicts in another time and space? An imperial edict! I didn't expect that I would see the legendary imperial edict today! I just don't know whether this imperial edict is a blessing or a curse for my Liu family? Generally speaking, the emperor, who is the supreme ruler of the country, would not issue an edict to a small earl lord like his father for no major event!

When Liu Feiyun entered the mansion, bathed and changed his clothes, he hurried to the main hall, only to see a lot of people gathered outside the hall. When these people saw Liu Feiyun, they all bowed and saluted.

Liu Feiyun saw their clothes and guessed that most of them were people of some status in the Liu Mansion. Although these people could not enter the hall to receive the imperial edict, kneeling outside to accompany him was also a symbol of status for them.

Soon, Chu Bihe, who had also finished bathing and changing clothes, arrived, and the mother and son walked into the hall. In the hall, there were several golden armored guards standing on both sides, and a pale-faced man who could not tell how old he was was chatting with Le Anbo Liu Shihao.

Seeing the two of them arrive, Liu Shihao said with a smile, "Eunuch Chen, my wife and son are here! Please start announcing the decree!"

Eunuch Chen nodded and said, "In that case, let's get started!"
