C45 The Meeting Between Classmates.
Loong Wei looked at the two tombstones with a sad expression. His family was buried here.
He wanted to cry. After a long time, he sighed. "Father, brother, I have come to see you. The last time we met was ten years ago. When we met again, we were separated forever. Although I am glorious, I do not have the ability to save you. I have let you down."
This heart-wrenching pain made Loong Wei extremely sad.
If he had known about the situation in Chuzhou earlier, if he had cared more about the development of Loong Family, with his identity as Lord of the Three Armies, he would not have let such a thing happen. If the five families had such thoughts, he could have completely destroyed them.
However, for the glory of the country, for the sake of protecting the people in the country, he had gone to war on the battlefield. He threw everything to the back of his mind. Now that the world was peaceful, he had no home to return to.
A wave of sonorous footsteps approached from afar.
Loong Wei put away his sorrowful expression and returned to his usual cold and firm expression. He turned around to look.
A young man walked over with a bitter expression. He was holding a bottle of good wine in his hand.
Loong Wei was looking at him, and he was also looking at Loong Wei. Their eyes met, and the man was startled.
The man seemed to be in disbelief, and he shook his head with all his might. He seemed to not dare to believe it as he rubbed his eyes with his hands again. After he confirmed that he did not see wrongly, he was instantly stunned again.
The wine bottle in the man's hand was instantly filled with water, causing countless splashes.
"Mr Wei." The man's mouth was half-open and half-closed, and he started running towards Loong Wei's side.
His cries were mournful. Those who heard it were all moved. That was the excitement of a reunion after a long separation. It was the guilt of not being able to take care of his good friend's family. It was his incomparable hatred towards the perpetrator.
Countless complex emotions interweaved in that man's heart. For a moment, he was speechless and choked.
The young man knelt down in front of Loong Wei and cried like rain. "Mr Wei, I'm sorry. I didn't manage to take good care of Loong Family."
The man's name was Zhou Yan. He was Loong Wei's good friend in middle school. He was also Long Wei's only brother. Zhou Yan was very familiar with Loong Wei's family. They were as close as family members.
When Loong Wei joined the army, Zhou Yan did it for him. Before they left, Zhou Yan patted his chest and promised that Old Master Loong would be his father from now on, and Loong Hwa would be his brother. The matter of Loong Family was his business.
He never thought that the Loong Family would encounter such a disaster. Facing the internal strife of the wealthy families in Chuzhou, Zhou Yan, who came from an ordinary family, could only be anxious. He really wanted to take revenge for the Loong Family, but he was alone and weak. He could only help the old butler, Uncle Lee, bury Loong Hwa, who had been crushed into pieces.
Zhou Yan hugged Loong Wei's leg tightly and cried out loudly, "I'm sorry."
The sky was filled with lightning, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier.
The rain wet Zhou Yan, who was kneeling on the ground. He was in dire straits, helpless, and in a state of panic, like a stray dog. He was filled with grief and self-blame.
"Alright, get up quickly." Loong Wei supported Zhou Yan. Even though he was the army with the greatest glory, Lord, he couldn't help but feel excited when he saw his good friend whom he hadn't met for many years.
This was something that was destined to happen.
Now, Loong Wei had returned with glory, but his family had passed away. Who could he tell what he was thinking in his heart?
"Mr Wei, when did you come back?" The rain was getting weaker and weaker. The two of them sat on the ground and Zhou Yan asked.
"Two days ago." Loong Wei replied calmly.
These past few days, everything had been complicated. Loong Wei actually did not think of Zhou Yan. Now that they had met in the mausoleum, Loong Wei could not help but sigh at the unpredictability of fate.
Zhou Yan secretly cast a glance at Loong Wei. He suddenly felt that Loong Wei's heroic spirit had engulfed the entire Huanyu.
When he was still in school, Zhou Yan had already felt that Loong Wei was a man with a sharp edge, and that he would definitely become a great figure in the future. Now that he found out that Loong Wei's temperament had become even more powerful than before, he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.
However, when Zhou Yan thought about the destruction of the Loong Family, his heart sank once again, and his grief was expressed with words.
The drizzle continued, and drops of rain fell on Loong Wei's angular face. His resolute and brave face of a soldier was so cold that it was frightening to look at.
"Mr Wei, do you know Xu Ziying?" After a while, Zhou Yan asked. His face was full of resentment.
"I know her. What's wrong?" Loong Wei looked at Zhou Yan. Could it be that he knew something?
Zhou Yan suppressed the anger in his heart and said angrily, "My big brother was killed by her. She deserves to die!"
Loong Wei did not comment. He looked at the gradually clearing sky with a stern gaze. "Is your big brother's death really related to her?"
Of course, Loong Wei wouldn't question Dong Fei's ability to collect information. However, he wanted to know more about the Loong Family. He wanted to know who was controlling everything in the dark.
"My elder brother was a lover of Xu Ziying. That's why she knew everything about the Loong Family like the back of her hand. Otherwise, a powerful family like the Loong Family wouldn't be destroyed overnight!" The more Zhou Yan spoke, the angrier he became. He waved his fist and wished he could catch all the people who framed the Loong Family in one fell swoop.
When Loong Wei heard this, his expression changed slightly. His big brother and Xu Ziying were once lovers? He had never heard of this matter before. Not only did Dong Fei's information not contain this matter, even Uncle Lee had not mentioned it.
"Who did you hear it from? Why didn't Uncle Lee tell me about this matter?" Loong Wei asked sternly.
Zhou Yan was shocked by Loong Wei's powerful Qi. He paused for a while and said, "This was said by your big brother. There was a time when we drank together. He drank too much and then told me about this. But the next day when I asked him again, he denied it. This is quite strange."
Loong Wei nodded indifferently. He didn't expect Xu Ziying to have such a relationship with the Loong Family. It seemed like the five families had planned to destroy the Loong Family. Xu Ziying getting close to Loong Hwa must have been part of this plan.
"Your elder brother just died, and Xu Ziying spread rumors about him everywhere. She even called him a wimp. He is a wastrel who relies on his family. I wanted to rush in and fight with them."
Zhou Yan already knew that Xu Ziying was the one who pulled the strings. After he buried Loong Hwa, he went to the Xu Family with a dagger in his hand. However, the Xu Family had a lot of people. He was beaten up by dozens of bodyguards before he even entered the gate.
Loong Wei looked up at the sky and did not say a word.
At this moment, the sky was clear. There was a beautiful rainbow hanging in the sky, illuminating everything.
Zhou Yan sighed and said in a low voice, "Xu Ziying is just a catalyst. The five major families will work together to deal with the Loong Family."
The five families were in high positions and their actions were unpredictable. This was not something a mortal could see through. Even if Zhou Yan knew the inside story, he would not be able to get close to them, let alone avenge the Loong Family.
Zhou Yan knew that he wouldn't be able to avenge the Loong Family in his lifetime, but two days ago, he heard that the son of the new overlord of Chuzhou, Wang Zhengtian, had suddenly died. Wang Hai was still young, but he died without knowing why.
This allowed Zhou Yan to vent his anger. The anger that had been accumulating in his heart for a long time had finally calmed down a little.
