Wu'an County, the county magistrate's residence!

"Master Li, just now Zhou County Prime Minister sent someone to say goodbye. He said that he would not attend the meeting later in the day. The required documents have also been handed over to his subordinates." The tall and thin Master Zhao came from outside the door and looked.

The county magistrate, who was drinking tea, said respectfully.

"Oh, you know why... After all, our County Magistrate Zhou never takes a break without any reason." After hearing this, County Magistrate Li put down his tea cup and said in surprise.

"But because of the martial arts competition in January?"

"Although the martial arts competition is a grand event for local powerful people, the matter of Zhou County Cheng's request for leave has nothing to do with it...it's because Zhou Yu is back." Master Zhao looked at the county magistrate and said solemnly.

"Zhou Yu, which Zhou Yu?" Magistrate Li looked at Master Zhao's solemn face and narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing an inquiring look.

"Sir, have you ever remembered that six years ago, the Zhou family had a Qilin'er ascending to immortality?" Master Zhao replied.

"That Zhou Yu?" Magistrate Li's pupils shrank when he heard this. He suddenly put down his teacup and stood up, walking back and forth in the room. Apparently he remembered who Master Zhao was talking about.

The Daxia Dynasty lasted for 457 years. As the only dynasty in the entire Central Plains continent, it had no rivals in this world except for the Wu tribe in the southern border and the enemy barbarians in the north.

Therefore, with the rule of the dynasty, the theory of immortality is no longer an elusive secret under the water.

In fact, the most mysterious department in the imperial court, the Dangmo Division located under the Tianxuan Division, is said to have immortal masters stationed there all year round.

Even the Ninth Prince, Your Majesty's favorite, is now training under the Immortal Family.

Moreover, a few days ago, the demon riot in Hehe Village was quelled only by the simultaneous action of Dang Mo Si and the Immortal Master of Ziyang Temple.

In normal times, it wouldn't be a surprise for him to have an extra immortal come home. However, the situation in Wu'an County happened to be a bit strange recently, so Magistrate Li was a little hard to let go of it for a while.

"Do you know why Zhou Yu came home this time?" County Magistrate Li looked at his Master Zhao and asked in a deep voice.

The magistrate of Wu'an County has four powerful families, namely Zhou, Zhao, Wang, and Li. Among them, the Li family is his own family, and it has relied on his position as the county magistrate to rise in recent years. Only the Zhou, Zhao, and

The Wang San family can truly be called a powerful old brand.

These three families have always been at odds with each other in business, fields, people's livelihood, and almost all major and minor matters in Wu'an County. In order not to harm the harmony, a martial arts competition will be held every three years to determine the proportion of business ownership in the next three years.

If they were ordinary families, County Magistrate Li could coordinate them in the name of the government, but these three families are not only rich and powerful, but also knowledgeable about martial arts.

Based on his experience as an official here over the years, he finally understood a little bit. For example, although his master was serving as his subordinate in the county government, there was one person known to the Zhao family in the imperial court.

A third-grade official of the Sixth Department is in office, and his background is almost as strong as him.

Although the supporter behind the Wang family is a well-known military general in the court, and his family is not in Wu'an County, the branch here is not simple either, and has a strong background in Jianghu sects.

Among the three, only the Zhou family's background is not complicated, and can be said to be extremely simple. However, this simplicity is also the most transcendent point, because the current head of the family is a disciple stationed outside the Immortal Sect.

The reason why this matter was truly confirmed was precisely because Zhou Yu ascended to immortality six years ago.

"I don't know...but any disciple of the Immortal Sect will not interfere excessively in human affairs. This matter has been clearly stipulated for a long time. Therefore, Mr. Li, there is no need to worry too much." Master Zhao shook his head and said.

"That's right, I lost my composure for a moment." County Magistrate Li shook his head and laughed after hearing this, and quickly realized that after all, civil and military governance and the coordination of the immortal family are the purpose of the current court.

"Disciples of the Immortal family, I wonder when a nephew among our sect will have such an honor." County Magistrate Li sighed.

"Yes, the Zhou family is really lucky." Master Zhao also agreed with a rather complicated expression.

…

Zhou Mansion.

Not to mention the atmosphere in the yamen, which gradually became quiet in the envy of the two, now the entire Zhou Mansion is bustling with activity, and there are even groups of servants going out to collect.

The hall of the Zhou Mansion is about a hundred feet wide. It is already full of people, including the elders of the Zhou clan and the heads of various branches.

"Sir, the young master is back." A butler with a gray beard walked to the main seat in the hall and lowered his head and said.

As soon as he finished speaking, outside the hall, the county magistrate Zhou Boan, who had not yet had time to take off his official uniform, was walking from the door.

"Father." Zhou Bo'an respectfully looked at Zhou Zhe, who had a long white beard on the throne. Although he was nearly sixty years old, he had an extremely strong body, and greeted him.

"Sit down." Zhou Zhe nodded.

At this time, a servant waiting aside came over. Zhou Boan entered the side hall with him and changed into a green shirt, then returned to the hall and sat under Zhou Zhe's left hand.

"Where's the second brother?" Zhou Bo'an glanced at the empty seat below him and asked.

"Your nephew has just come back. He will come over after they get together for a while, but you, on the other hand, have taken a break early this time. Does County Magistrate Li have anything to say?"

"I think even if I have something to say, I won't say much." Zhou Bo'an said with a chuckle.

"It's good if you can tell the difference. After all, although my Zhou family is rooted here, its roots are not in the imperial court. Where is Feng'er?" Zhou Zhe finished speaking with approval and asked again.

"Feng'er said a few days ago that his realm has been relaxed, so he must be in retreat now." Zhou Bo'an replied.

"It's not bad to have the opportunity to break through to the seventh level of acquired life at the age of eighteen... Zhou Fu, send someone to call him over." After Zhou Zhe finished speaking, he turned sideways and said to the housekeeper beside him.

"Yes, sir." Zhou Fu nodded and immediately walked out of the hall to arrange for the servants.

Zhou Bo'an on the side saw this. Although he knew that going at this time might disturb his son's retreat, he still didn't say a word. He believed in his father's shrewdness.

Sure enough, just listen to Zhou Zhe continue talking.

"Yu'er is back from the mountain now and has brought back some things. Feng'er may use this to break the martial arts cage, advance to the realm of innateness, and embark on the path to immortality."

Hearing this, Zhou Bo'an was shocked, and a surge of ecstasy surged into his heart. Fortunately, he had cultivated a deep sense of character as an official for many years. He quickly calmed down, stood up, bowed, and said respectfully.

"Son, thank you father."

"We are all a family. We are so clear about what we do. I am getting older, and this family will depend on you in the future. You will have to assist your second brother well when the time comes."

When Zhou Bo'an heard this, he felt a little sad. His hard work over the years was still no match for his second brother who was more qualified to practice. Fortunately, his son was promising.

No matter how good the position of the head of the family is, it is nothing more than the position of another county magistrate, let alone the path to immortality.

After all, he was able to take the position of county magistrate because his family had a fairy background.

"My son knows." Zhou Bo'an nodded calmly.

"That's good." Seeing his agreement, Zhou Zhe seemed to have put it down, with a broad smile on his face.

In fact, if Zhou Boan was not born with a weak body and could not even practice martial arts, how could he do such a face-to-face transaction.

"Brother, my Hu'er's martial arts has reached the sixth level. You can't favor one over the other."

"Yes, brother, my grandson Zhou Song is not bad either. He is only 9 years old this year, and he has also achieved the fourth level of acquired cultivation."

"Brother..."

"What's the fuss about?" After just finishing dealing with his son's affairs and hearing the impatient shouts of his brothers in front of him, Zhou Zhe slammed the table and shouted.

"Isn't that why I called you here this time? Listen, all the disciples of my Zhou family who have achieved success in martial arts and are under the age of twenty will be recalled within three days."

"It seems that my precious nephew brought back a lot of things, and it actually made my father so aggressive." Zhou Bo'an, who was standing aside, saw that his uncles were all ecstatic after hearing this. He picked up the tea sent by the servant and drank while thinking.

road.

"Brother, I am only fifty-two years old this year, and I also have the eighth level of acquired life. According to Yu'er's words when he was a child, maybe if you save and rescue, you can also get a gift." At this time, a man with a white beard sat on the right.

The old man said suddenly.
