At around 8 o'clock in the morning, the two multi-arched stone bridges outside the imperial capital wall were already very crowded, and the carriages had to move forward at a speed limit. Among the many carriages on the left bridge, the only black carriage was particularly noticeable. The carriage not only had the carriages, wheels, decorations, and the horses pulling the carriage were black, and even the driver of the carriage was dressed in black. The man was covered with only a pair of eyes. He didn't care about the coming and going eyes at all, and his eyes were always looking straight ahead.

The black carriage was so slow that it was driving along the flow of people entering the city that it was driving on the bridge. Such a weird carriage naturally attracted the attention of the guards in the city.

When the carriage drove to the city gate, a young guard walked to the carriage under the instruction of the old guard and reached out to stop it. He gave a guard salute to the driver of the carriage and said, "Please show you and the identities of the personnel in the carriage." The guards guarding the city gate have the right to do this.

"..." The coachman didn't even look at the young guard, so he naturally ignored it.

"Please show your identities!" The young guard's tone was obviously heavier than the last time.

“…”

"Please show your identity! Otherwise we will forcefully check!" The young guard tightened the long sword around his waist, and the old guard also surrounded him at this time.

“…”

The pedestrians who were coming and going saw this scene and stopped from being affected by the carriage.

"Please go..."

Before the young guard finished speaking, he heard a "creaking" sound, and the carriage door was opened. In front of everyone, a middle-aged man walked out. The middle-aged man was tall and wearing a decent black gold-edged robe. His black middle-length hair was neatly taken care of. Although his angular face was full of vicissitudes of time, he was still handsome. After a smile on his face, he glanced at the young guard, "I'm sorry, this little guard brother, my family is a bit disabled in nature and can't hear or speak."

"Ah~ I can't hear you, and I can't say it? No wonder he ignored me just now. So that's how it is!" The young guard quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and his hand holding the sword also let go. After all, if there were violent incidents at the city gate, he would not be able to explain, let alone so many people around him.

"Well, please forgive me if you have any offense." The handsome middle-aged man said with apologies.

"It's okay, it's okay. Since I've stopped you, please show your identity?" the young guard looked at the handsome middle-aged man and asked.

"Of course." The handsome middle-aged man nodded with a smile, took out a black token from his arms and handed it over.

The young guard stepped forward and took the token with both hands and asked, "Is there anyone else in the carriage?"

"Inside is my wife and daughter." The handsome middle-aged man glanced at the carriage and replied.

"Okay!" When the young guard heard that it was a female, he looked down at the black token in his hand. The word "心" was printed on the token. The young guard looked over and over again and again but could not see any name, and his brows frowned unconsciously. After seeing the puzzled expression on the young guard's face, the old guard walked over. When he saw the words on the token, "This, this is..." A drop of cold sweat flowed down his forehead. He quickly grabbed the token from the young guard and walked quickly to the carriage, "Hug, sorry, sir, it's wasted your time." The old guard lowered his head and raised his hands to hand back the token, and he didn't dare to look at the handsome middle-aged man again.

People around them stretched their necks to look at the token. They were all curious about what magical things were about that token that could make the guards change their attitude immediately. Some people in the crowd began to guess the identity of this handsome middle-aged man.

"It's okay, you are just doing your duty." The handsome middle-aged man didn't care. He smiled and took back his token and made a forward gesture to the coachman.

The coachman nodded and responded. The handsome middle-aged man turned around and walked into the carriage without carriage. The young guard was pulled away from the carriage by the old guard, and the black carriage set out again into the city gate.

The old guard stood motionless and watched the carriage disappear into his sight. He reached out to wipe off the cold sweat covered with his forehead and sighed heavily. "Huh~"

"Old Wei, what's wrong with you? Who was the car just now?" the young guard looked at the old guard beside him in confusion and asked.

"Who? Have you ever heard of the 'Xiangjia'?" The old guard asked remarks without answering.

"Xingjia? Which Xiujia? Let me think about it! Is it the Xiujia that knows nothing and can sell everything?"

"That's right." The old guard nodded.

"No wonder." The young guard suddenly realized.

"Do you know who that lord was just now?" the old guard continued.

"I don't know, oh~ By the way, there was indeed the word "Xu" on the token just now. Could it be the manager of the Xiu family?" the young guard asked again.

"Maintain the business? Haha~ Young man, it's not as simple as you think!" The old guard shook his head and looked at the young guard, "That token is the order of the head of the Xiu family, and it is a token that only the head of the Xiu family will hold!"

"The head of the family order! Lao Wei, are you saying he is..." The young guard grew up with a look of surprise.

The old guard nodded before the young guard finished speaking and said, "That's right."

"Hahaha~ I didn't expect that we actually stopped the big man's car! We also talked to the big man!" The young guard said with an excited look on his face.

"Okay, don't think too much. You continue to stand guard. I want to go to the person above to report the situation. It is not a trivial matter for the head of the Xiu family to come to the emperor." After the old guard said that, he turned around and trotted away.

...

As the guards said, this handsome middle-aged man was the contemporary head of Xiu family, Xiu Taoism, and the ones walking with him in the carriage were his wife Cailinger and daughter Xiu Lian.

The black carriage was walking along the straight road behind the city gate, and the statue of Eragon in the distance was slowly enlarging.

The window of the carriage carriage was pushed open by a pair of beautiful slender hands. Ling'er looked at the scenery outside the car and asked, "Husband, do you still remember when we last came to Emperor?"

"How could I not remember? That happened six years ago." Xiu Dao kissed his lover's forehead and whispered in her ear. "I remember every bit of it with you."

Ling'er felt a sensation of itch all over her body, and quickly pushed the Taoist practice away and said softly, "Stop making trouble, the child is still there?"

"I've been used to it for a long time, my mother is fine." A beautiful girl who looks quite similar to Lianhua said as she looked at the book, with a hint of laziness in her tone.

"Do you think you did a good job?" Ling'er pinched the tender flesh on Xiu Dao's waist with anger and turned 180 degrees.

"Oh~My wife, I was wrong! Please spare my life!!" Xiu Dao screamed in pain, completely ignoring the image of the head of the family.

"Oh~ I thought you could defend, why do you let me twist it?" Ling'er quickly let go and looked at Xiu Dao with a look of blame.

"Fool," Xiu Dao kissed Ling'er's forehead again, "If I use fighting spirit to defend you, you will be injured. I will hurt you more than you will!" This time Ling'er smiled and did not push him away.

"..." Xiu Lian looked at her parents sprinkling dog food speechlessly.

While speaking, their carriages had bypassed the statue of Eragon and drove into the trade zone.

"Wow, it's so lively, husband, look over there."

"I remember when I came last time I didn't seem to have this store."

"Huh~ What are they buying? Why are so many people queuing up?"

"Wow~ It smells so fragrant."

"Husband, I want to eat that, it looks delicious."

"And that dress is so beautiful!"

...

As soon as he entered the trade zone, Ling'er looked at the scenery outside the window and began to speak with joy. Xiu Daoze responded one by one. In his eyes, Ling'er seemed to have returned to the time when she left Snege Mountain for the first time with him to a relatively lively small town. At that time, she was as lively as she is now.

"After twenty years, she is still the same as she was before." Xiu Dao sighed so much that he hugged the bell from behind and rested his head on her shoulder and said, "It's still early, why don't we get out of the car and have a walk?"

Ling'er instinctively wanted to agree, but when she looked at her daughter, she shook her head, "Let's forget it."

Of course, when practicing Taoism knows Ling'er's concerns, he won't say anything more.

Xiu Lian could naturally hear her parents' conversation. She also knew her mother's concerns and was grateful. Xiu Lian slowly closed the book in her hand, put it aside and looked at her parents with a smile, "Father, mother, I'm a little bored to read books. Let's go down and have a walk together."

When Ling'er heard her daughter say this, she felt a little happy. She got up and walked to her daughter and sat down, held her slender hand into her hand and said, "Lian'er, you don't have to force it."

"It's okay, mother, so many years have passed, I have let it go." Xiu Lian comforted her mother's hand.

Xiu Dao smiled and stood up and walked to his daughter, reaching out and rubbing her hair gently, "Lian'er, your mother and I will be your backing for everything, of course, there is that brat, we..."

"What is that brat?" Ling'er glared at Xiu Dao and interrupted him.

"Uh~ Xiuhua, Hua'er." Xiudao quickly changed his words.

"Hmph~" Ling'er let him go.

"We are a family, you have to remember." Xiu Dao touched Xiu Lian's hair and finished speaking just now.

"Well! I always remember it." Xiu Lian felt the tenderness coming from her head, looked up at her father, and nodded heavily with a smile.
