Looking back now, it was a wise move for Mr. Cangjie to bring Hougang to Bayuan for training when he was young.----Because Mr. Cangjie could not always stay by Hougang's side and keep an eye on him, and the young Hougang was afraid that

It is difficult to protect yourself, and you may be assassinated before you can grow up.

When Hougang returns from Bayuan, his abilities and methods will be enough to balance everyone in the clan, and he will be able to completely control the tribe. But what if Hougang fails to become a talent? Then Mr. Cangjie's intention is also obvious - he does not have to

Back!

Several people came to the south gate of Jicheng City and found that something was wrong with the atmosphere. This was the hinterland of China and it was a time of peace. There were actually guard formations checking passers-by. The sergeants did not search for things but only looked at people. Everyone had to see clearly from the front.

He asked about his appearance, what his name was, where he came from, and why he came to Jicheng.

Taiyi shook his head towards Hougang and said: "Looking at this posture, I am still coming for you. The captain of the military formation may have received the order from the city lord. If someone calls himself Hougang, he may not be able to enter the city, and he may be captured on the spot.

.”

Hou Gang sneered and said: "I don't believe he is so courageous. Now that the news of my return has spread, if Liang Ji can't intercept and kill him halfway, how can he stop me in front of this city gate?"

?Why bother doing that useless work? His brain still doesn’t understand!"

Huwa interjected: "How could anyone with a clear mind do such a thing?"

Hou Gang said again: "Jigu, it's up to you."

Hougang stood in the middle of the avenue, while Jigu walked towards the city gate and shouted loudly: "Master Hougang, the leader of the Hougang family, has made great contributions to the country in the land of Jiuli, and has been praised by the Emperor of China. Now he has returned home with great honor, and arrived at

At the south gate of Jian City, people from the Hougang clan came to pay their respects to the king!"

Jigu's cultivation level is already very good. If he were in Bayuan, he could almost be a national worker. This voice is filled with magical power. This little demon is deliberately showing off his cultivation level. The penetrating power of his voice is extremely strong, not only

It was in front of the city gate, and almost half of the people in the city heard it.

This is Hougang's plan. He directly reveals his identity and enters the city in a dignified manner, so that the city lord of Lechang can't cover it up even if he wants to, and there is no need to embarrass the city guard sergeants who may have received secret orders. Several city guard sergeants are coming over to ask them

Who was it? He was startled by Jigu's voice. The team leader leaned back and sat down without stopping.

Jigu ignored the gatekeepers and stood aside after shouting. Huwa and Taiyi were also very generous, keeping distance from each other on the left and right, and followed Hougang slowly into the city.

He has held such a high official position and has achieved great achievements. If he deliberately shows off his airs, it will show his majesty and demeanor.

There was no need to ask any more questions. After hearing the shouting just now and taking a quick look, everyone knew that this young man was Lord Hougang. There were many people inside and outside the city gate. At this moment, they all turned around and saluted Hougang involuntarily. Some even

I deliberately got out of the car and knelt down on the ground.

Hougang didn't walk very fast. He smiled and nodded to everyone around him. From time to time, he leaned over to help the elders nearby and said kindly: "No courtesy, no courtesy. I finally returned from traveling for thirteen years and saw my old place."

The clansmen are not very kind!"

The squad leader patted his butt and got up. After seeing this scene, he didn't dare to step forward to stop him. As for questioning, it seemed that there was no need, because the person had already called out his identity. He had received a very strange order these days.

, the city lord ordered that all travelers entering the city should be strictly interrogated. If anyone dares to impersonate Lord Hougang, he must be captured on the spot.

The squad leader murmured in his heart, who would impersonate Mr. Hougang, and how could he tell who was pretending? But the city lord did not explain, but just issued such an order. But at this moment, even if the squad leader wanted to stop him, he could not

I don’t dare anymore. Looking at this posture, the person who came here should not be an impostor, otherwise how could he be so high-profile?

Hou Gang entered the city and went straight to the city lord's palace. For more than ten years, for that era, if there were no disasters or wars, the changes were actually very small, and everything was almost the same as he was familiar with when he was a boy.

Along the way, people continued to salute Hougang, and others spontaneously followed him, many of them children watching the excitement.

The shape of the city outline here is not much different from that in Bayuan. There is a square in front of the city lord's palace. After receiving the news, the city lord Lechang has already walked out with two teams of guards.

Lechang's description is vaguely similar to Hougang's, except that his temples are gray and his figure is a bit bloated. The city lord had sweat on his forehead, which he had wiped off just now, and now it is coming out again, and the fat on his face is growing slightly.

He was twitching, his eyes were full of shock and anger, and he was obviously trying his best to control his emotions.

Lechang didn't know that Liang Jineng had been captured by mistake. He only knew that the master missed and intercepted Hou Gang on the way. He never expected that Hou Gang would enter Daocheng in this way and kill him.

Being caught off guard, many conspiracies and tricks were too late to be implemented.

Hougang strolled across the square and headed straight for Lechang. He stopped only ten feet away without saluting. He waved his hands generously and said, "Brother Lechang, I haven't seen you for many years. I am returning home today."

, you don’t have to welcome me so grandly.”

Lechang had veins twitching on his forehead. He wanted to order his guards to rush forward and capture Hou Gang, or simply chop him to death. However, it was impossible to do so in front of everyone, so he could only say in a deep voice: "Are you really Hou Gang?

?" This question was not cordial at all. It did not have the surprise of relatives meeting again after a long separation. Instead, it had a strong questioning tone.

"Are you blind? The head of the Hougang clan has returned, Lechang, why are you standing here in a daze? Why don't you quickly welcome Lord Hougang into the city lord's palace?" Following the words, three people separated from the crowd.

Walking over, a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old supported an elder with white hair and beard, and there was a middle-aged man next to him.

Hou Gang quickly stepped forward and saluted: "Uncle Xian, are you here?...Brother Shiji, is this your son Adong? He has grown so big!"

Although Hougang is young, he does have a high seniority in the clan. On the way into the city, many white-haired old men are his juniors. Among the clan members of his generation, the youngest is already over forty years old.

, is the Hou Shiji in front of me.

Hou Shiji and Hou Lechang are two people with titles in the clan besides the monarch. Hou Shiji's father, Hou Xian, is the only elder of Hougang who is still alive in the clan. Hougang had to call him uncle. Just now

It was Hou Xian who opened his mouth to scold Hou Lechang.

Hou Xian grabbed Hou Gang's arm, and his eyes were wet with excitement. He looked left and right, pinched Hou Gang from time to time, and said with emotion: "Hou Gang, it's really you. Your appearance has not changed at all.

It's just that I have grown up and I finally look forward to your coming back..."

After talking for a long time, Hou Xiancai seemed to suddenly remember something. He took two steps back, patted his grandson and said, "Why don't you come and pay homage to your Majesty!" The three of them saluted together and said, "Greetings to Your Majesty!" Hou Xian said

He is leaning on his staff and bowing, Hou Shiji is bowing his head to the ground, and Xiao Houdong is kneeling to the ground.

Hou Gang quickly supported Hou Xian, and pulled the other two people up one after another: "Uncle, there is no need to be polite. You are the elder, so I should salute you!"

Hou Xian smiled happily and said: "On weekdays, you can kowtow to me, but when you pay respects to the emperor, the etiquette must not be messed up!" Then he suddenly turned around, raised the crutch in his hand and hit Lechang: "You are just standing there like this.

Are you here?"

Lechang dodged away, almost twisted his waist, and glared at the guard captain beside him, while all the guards looked away innocently. Of course, as a guard, it is your duty to defend the Lord to the death, but Lechang

The Lord of Chang City was taught a lesson by his elders, and it was not easy for them to interfere.

Lechang took a step back, as if he had made a sudden decision, and gritted his teeth and said: "I, the head of the Hougang clan, have not returned for many years. This person suddenly appeared in Jicheng, claiming to be Hougang. How can we confirm the return of Hougang?

Now that the news has spread, it is inevitable that there will be an impostor. If a random person comes and calls himself Hougang, can we recognize him as the head of the emperor?"

He was so busy that he suddenly lost his mind, and planned to fight to the death first, hoping to wait until Liang Jineng got the news and arrived before taking action. And with Liang Jineng's ability, he could certainly control Hou Gang.

He would do whatever he was asked to do. Lechang had just received a private reminder from the captain of his personal guard that among the four members of Hou Gang's group, only the guard-looking Ji Gu was difficult to deal with, while the other three were ordinary people.

Hou Xian pointed his stick at Lechang's face and said, "I just said you were blind, but you are really blind! Can't you recognize it?"

If he was taken away when he was young and came back when he was almost thirty years old, no one would be able to recognize him without any special marks. But Hou Gang was already fifteen years old when he left his hometown. Although he has lost his childishness now,

The descriptive appearance has not changed much, and people familiar with it can still recognize it.

However, Lechang had already made up his mind to cause trouble. As the lord of the city, if he did not recognize Hou Gang, he would have the most honorable status here, and he also controlled the military and political power of the city. No one could do anything to him.

Lechang looked at Hou Xian and said: "Uncle, you are old, and it is inevitable that your eyes will be dim. There are many people with similar descriptions in the world, and it is of great importance. We must carefully identify them. If the person who comes here is really Hou Gang, I would like to apologize for what happened today.

, but here and now, we must first verify our true identity.”

Then he turned to Hougang and said: "You, a descendant, claim to be the head of our Hougang family. What proof can you have? If you don't bring any tokens, your belongings can fall into the hands of others. And Hougang has been living abroad for thirteen years.

, anything can happen.”

Jigu couldn't help but scolded: "You are so shameless! When you opened your mouth, you said that even the tokens did not count, and the words of the elders of the clan did not count. You asked Mr. Hougang to prove that he is Hougang. I would like to ask

Let me ask you, how should this be proven?"

The captain of the guard stepped forward and scolded: "Be brave, don't be rude to the Lord of the City!"

Jigu also scolded: "Be brave, don't be rude to your Majesty!" The guards were also a little scared, but they were just bluffing, but they didn't dare to do anything serious. Jigu pointed at Lechang again and said: "I'm asking you a question!

You can tell me what evidence you want?"

Lechang: "How do I know? You need to prove it yourself."

Hou Gang smiled coldly, took out an object and said: "This is the token of the emperor Danzhu, to prove that I helped him in the land of Jiuli and made great contributions to the country. But now it seems that this object can only prove this.

It doesn't prove my identity. Uncle Xian, please summon the elders of the clan to gather at the ancestral land. Master Shi Huang left a shrine back then, and only I can open it."
