The Eternal Beauty of the City of Wealth

Zixuan knew that his second son had been timid and fearful since childhood, and he didn't know whether he could take on the responsibility of being a husband outside.

Zi Ri buried his head in his mother's arms and sobbed, "Mother, I have the gold, silver and jewelry you gave me, and I live a good life."

Zixuan wiped his son's tears and said, "Okay, okay, as long as Ri'er doesn't suffer, Mom will be relieved."

"By the way, how come you're now the special envoy of the State of Yan?"

"That's the mother."

So Zi Ri told his mother everything that he had experienced in Yan State.

Zixuan nodded after hearing this: "Ri'er, since you have chosen this path, then go on with determination."

"As a soldier, it is my duty to defend my country. Nowadays, the various vassal states are in constant conflict."

"War may break out at any time, and you will definitely have to go with the army."

"To protect my son's life, mother will give you some life-saving weapons."

"Come to my mother's bedroom tomorrow morning and take the weapons away."

"Don't go back today. Stay with your father. He's going crazy missing you."

As he was speaking, Yuan Ke staggered in, carrying a bottle of wine. "Damn! My damsel! Where are you?"

Zi Ri quickly stepped forward to support him: "Father, Ri'er is here."

Yuan Ke hugged his son and burst into tears: "Son! I miss daddy so much!"

"If you don't come back, Daddy will die soon, wuwuwu..."

Zi Ri looked at his father with gray hair on his temples and felt guilty.

When I ran away, I left without even saying goodbye. I really feel sorry for my parents' upbringing.

He wiped his father's tears and said, "Daddy, don't cry. Isn't your son back now?"

Yuan Ke looked at his son with tears in his eyes: "Now that you're back, you won't leave, right?"

Zi Ri pondered for a moment and said, "Father, I still need to go back. I am now the Lieutenant General of the Central Army of Yan State."

"I must return to serve the State of Yan. Besides, Ruo'er is still in Yan, so I must go back."

"Ah? Going back to Yan State? Then, what should I do as a father? Who will take care of me in my old age and see me to the end of my life? Wuwuwu..."

"No, if you insist on leaving, Dad will go to Yan State with you. If you don't agree, I will not live either! Wuwuwu..."

Zi Ri thought about it and thought that if he brought his father to Yan State to live with him, wouldn’t the father and son be free from the pain of missing each other? Well, that’s a good idea!

Thinking of this, he knelt down in front of Zixuan again and said, "Mother, Ri'er plans to take father to live with him in Yan State. I beg you to agree."

Yuan Ke also knelt and kowtowed: "I beg Your Majesty for your permission, Your Majesty for your permission!"

Zixuan looked at Yuan Ke's pitiful appearance and sighed softly: "Alas, mother and child are connected by heart, and father and son are connected by nature."

"Forget it, Yuan Ke. Today I will give you freedom. When we set off, you can go with him."

The father and son were overjoyed and kowtowed in gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zi Ri stood up and said happily, "Daddy and Mommy, I want to go see grandma. I'll take my leave now!"

Just as he turned around and was about to leave, Zixuan stopped him, "Wait a minute, Ri'er. Your grandmother is no longer alive."

Ah! Zi Ri was startled: "Mother, what did you just say? What happened to Grandmother?"

"Ri'er, your grandmother was in a car accident on the way to her grave and passed away!"

"Ah! Grandma! It hurts so much! Wuuuuuu..."

Zi Ri was heartbroken and burst into tears. He immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed towards his grandmother's bedroom.

His grandmother is the best person in the world to him, although his parents love him too.

But he was raised by his grandmother, and they lived together since he was a child, and she treated him like her own grandson.

The more he thought about it, the sadder and more upset he became. The scenes of his time with his grandmother immediately emerged in his mind.

Yuan Ke helped his son up and comforted him, "Son, the dead cannot be resurrected. Don't be too sad these days. Be careful not to hurt yourself by crying."

After crying for a long time, he stood up and wiped his tears: "Mom, where is grandma buried? I want to go to her grave one day!"

Zixuan nodded. This child has been sentimental since he was young and is a good child with affection and righteousness.

"Ri'er, because Peng died a violent death, she cannot be buried in the royal mausoleum."

"The mother built a tomb for her not far from the royal mausoleum."

"Your father knows the location. Ask him to take you there someday."

Peng Qi was restless after returning home. He was both worried and scared.

He was worried that Zi Ri would report him to the king.

He was afraid that if Zixuan knew about this, not only would he lose his life, but his three clans would also be wiped out.

What should I do! What should I do! He paced back and forth anxiously.

Finally, he stomped his feet in anger and said that if he killed one, he would die, and if he killed two, he would not live.

Isn't it okay if my aunt was killed by my own scheme? One more day won't hurt.

He immediately sent for Sun Liu: "Little Liu, you still need to do something for the master."

Sun Liu was delighted. The bounty had come to him again. He immediately bowed and said, "If you have any instructions, please tell me!"

"Young Master Ri has returned to the city. This master wants him dead! Go and arrange for some people to kill him!"

"Remember! This time, just like last time, do it quickly."

"Don't leave any of them alive! The reward will be doubled after the deed is accomplished!"

“Yes!” Sun Liu agreed excitedly and immediately went out to prepare.

After breakfast the next day, Zixuan called his son to the imperial study.

Pointing to a pile of items in the corner, he said, "Ri'er, these are a few sets of stab-proof suits, helmets, and some swords, guns, and crossbows."

She took a steel knife and said, "This knife is forged from special steel. Its edge is so strong that it can cut through iron like mud."

"This is a small crossbow that can be carried on the body for self-defense."

"This is a pistol. You've played with it before."

"During your time in Fugui City, you must carry it with you every day in case of an emergency."

"However, you cannot take them with you when you return to Yan State. You can take the spear and crossbow with you."

"When the time comes, I'll prepare a hundred larger guns and crossbows, as well as strong-edged steel knives, daggers, and other weapons for you."

"When you return, you will form a guard team of 100 people to protect your personal safety."

"When you leave, I will prepare another 100,000 crossbow arrows for you."

"Remember, try to retract it after you shoot it, or you'll have to go back to the city to get it when it's all gone."

After hearing this, Zi Ri was so moved that tears almost fell from his eyes. He tried hard to suppress his emotions.

He picked up a small crossbow and asked Zixuan with a smile, "Mother, I've played with larger crossbows before, but this small one is the first time I've seen one."

Zixuan took the small crossbow and said, "The manufacturing principle of this small one is the same as that of the big one."

"It's just a smaller version of the large crossbow. The reason we developed this small crossbow is to make it easier to carry around."

"It's just that the range is only a hundred meters, and the crossbow arrows are much smaller, but it's enough for close-range self-defense."

"Today, you should carry your stab-proof vest and pistol with you in case of any emergency."

Zi Ri nodded and said, "Okay, mother. I will accompany the princess to see the doctor today, and then go to visit grandma's grave tomorrow."
