Chapter 407 An unexpected surprise

"What?! Are you saying that our Du family owns 40% of the Beilin Chamber of Commerce out of thin air?!" Du Zhendong, the second generation of the Du family and the boss asked in shock.

"That's right! In other words, the four major families of the original Blue Moon Empire, Dou, Lin, Jia, and Shang, own 60% of the shares of the Beilin Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber of Commerce is still controlled and operated by them. We just have to provide them with various operating conveniences. , in other words, we are the backers of the Beilin Chamber of Commerce!" Du Long nodded.

At this moment, in the Du family's meeting hall, there were only the second generation and above senior officials of the Du family. Only Du Long, the third generation, attended the meeting. As for other idlers, they were not eligible to participate!

Glancing at the excited Du clan members, Du Zhendong was still sober, and continued to speak: "I think! The four major families of the Beilin Chamber of Commerce are willing to give up 40% of their shares, probably because of Du Long's face, and our Du clan There is no relationship between the same clan! Logically speaking, Du Long, you can just take advantage of these benefits directly. Why do you want everyone to share this benefit in the name of the Du clan?!"

"Haha! One of the reasons is that I hope to leave the Beilin Chamber of Commerce to the family to make more money. In the future, the children of the Du family can enjoy better training resources based on their talents!"

"The second reason is that from now on I will be busy with cultivation and no longer have the time to take care of these worldly chores. Therefore, I hope that my family will take over!" Du Long explained with a smile.

"Zhentian! You have given birth to a good son! From now on, our Du family has prospered!" Du Zhendong said with emotion as he looked at Du Zhentian, the head of the family, with a smile.

"Haha, with a son like this, sometimes I feel ashamed as a father! It's not easy to be a father!"

"Hahaha……"

The whole Du clan meeting hall was filled with hearty laughter. Ever since Du Zhennan's clan was expelled, the atmosphere of the entire Du clan has become many times better than it was in those years.

You know, in those years, Du Long would rather stay with his grandfather's Zhou clan than see those annoying guys at home!

Haotian Palace, in the forbidden garden where the old emperor lived.

The old and new emperors were alone together for a secret conversation. The topic was naturally about the fact that the Royal Palace in the Blue Moon Capital City was occupied by Du Long. To be honest, the new emperor was really shocked when he first received the news. He thought that the stinking The boy wants to rebel!

"Your Majesty!" The old emperor explained: "You must have heard about this matter. My father personally agreed to Du Long's request and decided to grant him the title of King with a different surname and reward him with the Blue Moon Palace!"

"Your Majesty has heard of this! However, when you met that boy, no outsiders were present. Therefore, Your Majesty was a little worried about whether you were threatened by him, so he agreed to this matter?!" The emperor said in his heart expressed his doubts.

"Haha! You are overthinking! There is no threat at all!" The old emperor couldn't help laughing and said: "Let's do this! Although my father can't tell you all the details of the matter, he can give you a general idea to save you from being confused. Suspicion, it will be bad if you break Du Long’s heart! You must know that he has made great contributions to our Haotian Empire to save the country. If he had not discovered the conspiracy of the Blue Moon Empire in advance, we would definitely be the ones to be destroyed now!"

"Your Majesty is willing to listen to your father's instructions!"

"Alas!" The old emperor looked at his son who still had doubts and sighed softly: "Did you know that the location of the capital of the Blue Moon Empire was originally the location of the capital of the Tilin Empire?!"

"Of course this prince knows it well!" the new emperor immediately replied.

"Well!" The old emperor nodded and continued: "Then do you know that somewhere in the Blue Moon Palace, there is a mysterious cave, where a shocking secret is hidden. Once this secret is leaked, it will have a great impact on our lives. The Haotian Empire is definitely a disaster rather than a blessing! It is for this reason that Du Long wants to occupy the Blue Moon Palace and keep that terrible secret!"

"Mysterious cave? Shocking secret?!" the new emperor muttered to himself in astonishment.

"That's right! It was Du Long who took me to the mysterious cave that day. I also witnessed the secret with my own eyes, and then I completely believed his words! I decided to fulfill my promise and try my best to persuade you to make Du Long the King of Different Surnames. Give him the Blue Moon Palace as a royal palace!" The old emperor nodded again.

Looking at the new emperor, whose expression was changing, the old emperor spoke again and added: "Your Majesty! Du Long has done enough for our Haotian! First he saved me, Haotian, from disaster, and then he personally led the army. Conquer the Blue Moon Empire and help me, Haotian, achieve my eternal dream of a great empire! Isn’t this enough to satisfy your appetite?!”

Being awakened on the spot by the old emperor's straightforward words, the new emperor finally figured it out: "Father, that's right! What Haotian got from Du Long is indeed enough! As long as he doesn't rebel, it's just a matter of time." What does a Blue Moon Capital mean? Your Majesty will do as your father told you!"

Time goes by, and in a blink of an eye, it’s the twelfth month of the new year!

Du Long is busy with wedding matters every day. Although he does not need to take care of many preparations, there are still some things that he and the two brides must take care of personally!

On this day, Du Long received news from the Shadow Guard that Xia Ye and his wife rushed back to the capital from Fengli County and even calculated the approximate time of arrival in the capital.

So, Du Long took Huofeng and Qinglian out of the city to greet them in person. The three of them rode on the big fiery red lions and walked directly out of the ten-mile pavilion, waiting for the arrival of the two future parents-in-law.

Soon, they ushered in a team under the banner of the Knights Cavalry. It was a 100-man escort team specially sent by Sun Lin to escort the two elders back to the capital!

After a few months, Xia Qinglian saw her parents again and rushed into their arms. Naturally, the family of three had a heart-to-heart talk with each other after a long separation!

"My son-in-law has met my father-in-law and mother-in-law!" After the three of them stabilized their emotions, Du Long saluted respectfully.

Looking at the world-famous Generalissimo in front of him with emotion, Xia Ye said brightly: "Du Long! You are indeed the lucky star who will change the destiny of the Haotian Empire according to destiny! Qinglian is so lucky, You actually favor me!"

"My father-in-law is too complimentary! Let's go! This is not the place to talk. It's not too late for us to go home and talk slowly and in detail!" Du Long said politely, so the group of people walked and chatted towards the south gate of Haotian Capital City!

After entering the city gate, under the guidance of Du Long, everyone actually did not go in the direction of Du Mansion. Huofeng and Qinglian felt a little confused, and finally guessed that he wanted to place Xia Ye and his wife in the hotel. Didn't ask.

Afterwards, the large group of people turned into an alley that was not too spacious. Looking at the familiar street scene in front of them, the faces of the three members of the Xia family changed one after another. Only Princess Huofeng looked uninformed, but Du Long had a look on his face. A faint smile.

Soon, Xiao Lie stopped at the door of a mansion. The word "Xia" hanging high above the door made the three members of the Xia family burst into tears on the spot. A group of servants were already kneeling at the door of the Xia Mansion, led by an old man with white beard and hair. Team leader.

"Uncle Zhang! Is it you?! Is it really you?!" After seeing the old man's appearance clearly, Xia Ye dismounted on the spot and ran towards the old man at the door with red eyes.

"Master! You are back! After so many years, I can't believe that I, Lao Zhang, can still see you in this life!" The old man kneeling on the ground had already burst into tears.

"Uncle Zhang! Get up quickly! What's going on? Why are you still here, and what's going on with this Xia Mansion? Could it be that the owner's surname is also Xia?!" Xia Ye hurriedly helped the old man up. stand up.

"Old Zhang has met the young lady!" Uncle Zhang, who was helped up, first saluted Mrs. I continue to be the housekeeper of Xia Mansion, and also told me that Xia Ye, the former Qin Tiansi, will be coming back soon, and asked me to welcome him here at this time today!"

Xia Ye and his wife all turned to look at Du Long with tears in their eyes. Du Long could only scratch his head and explain: "Aren't you going to marry Qinglian? According to the customs of our Haotian Empire, a woman to be married must stay for a few days before getting married. at home.

Therefore, I sent people to buy the Xia Mansion, and also asked people to find the housekeeper Zhang of the Xia Mansion, and restore everything in the mansion to the original state, so that my father-in-law, mother-in-law and Qinglian could have a family, at least not when they get married. Missing etiquette! "

"Young Master! Woohoo..." Xia Qinglian had already hugged Du Long's waist with strength, and was so moved that she was confused. The fire phoenix on the side also had tears in her eyes, and she was very happy for the Xia family of three!

Outside the gate of Xia Mansion, hundreds of knights and knights sealed off the area. A large number of nearby people had already gathered, all of them secretly wiping away tears. The older people all knew Xia Ye and his wife, and they all felt sorry for these two kind-hearted couples. Have respect.

To be honest, everyone knows that Xia Ye is an upright official and is very kind to others. Therefore, when something happened to the Xia family, the nearby neighbors felt very sorry!

Xia Ye nodded gratefully, knowing that Du Long's great kindness to the Xia family could not be repaid with just a few words, so he did not say those meaningless nonsense, but engraved this kindness firmly in his heart.

He then turned around and looked at the many villagers behind the heroic knights. He could vaguely recognize many familiar figures, and then he raised his hands to them with red eyes and said, "Fellow folks! I, Xia Ye, have finally come back today after many years. ! In a few days, my daughter Xia Qinglian will be married to Marshal Du Long together with Princess Fire Phoenix! At that time, our Xia Mansion will also hold a banquet, and I hope all the neighbors can enjoy it!"

"Master Xia! It'll be great if you come back! I will definitely come to Xia Mansion's wedding banquet!"

"Master Xia, do you still remember me, Uncle Liu?! Remember to come and sit at Uncle Liu's house like you did before when you have time!"

"Master Xia..." People around him who knew Xia Ye still called him "Master Xia" according to their old habits, even though he was now a commoner!

Looking at the familiar faces and remembering the old events from the past, Xia Ye couldn't help but burst into tears again. After that, he could only hold his hands and say: "Okay! Please come to Xia Mansion as a guest often when you are free!"

After finishing the courtesy, he turned around resolutely and walked into the Xia Mansion first. Most of the others, including hundreds of knights and soldiers, also entered the Xia Mansion under the command of Du Long. From now on, they will become the guards of the Xia Mansion. , this was also decided when they were originally sent here!

In the Xia Mansion, looking at the familiar scenes everywhere, the three members of the Xia family burst into tears. They couldn't bear to look back on the past. They originally thought that they would never be able to return to this real home in this life, but they never thought that this day would happen!

"Master, Master! This is Qinglian's favorite swing when she was a child..."

"Master, Master! This is Qinglian's boudoir, hehe! All the bed furnishings here are exactly the same as before..."

"Son..."

Today, Xia Qinglian has changed from her usual silent character, with tears on her face but an undisguised smile on her lips. From time to time, she introduces everything in the Xia Mansion to Du Long and Huo Feng!

In the Du Mansion, no matter how kind the people in the Du Mansion were to her, she always felt like she was under someone else's roof. Over the years, her favorite thing was to listen to Du Long telling the story of Dream of Red Mansions, and she also felt the same way about Daiyu's experience!

After returning to the Xia Mansion, she finally showed her true temperament that had been suppressed for many years to Du Long and Huo Feng. How could she not be a lively and laughing little girl? Unfortunately, current events are confusing!
