"Exactly." Qin Ruiqi calmly nodded, and introduced them to one another, "This is my father, and this is my father."
Lei Ruilin knew that his brother didn't like to talk, so he continued, "Father, Father, this is my brother's and my friend Feng You; this is someone from the same class??"
From his expression, Qin Mian could roughly tell which of the five students had a good relationship with their son, and which one only had an average relationship. All of them replied with a smile, took off the food box from their horses' saddlebags, and opened its lid.
"Ruiqi, Ruilin, treat your friends to some snacks."
Lei Tia took off the school bags on his two sons' back and easily held them in his hands.
"You guys are so lucky, the dessert my dad made is very delicious." Lei Ruilin took out a bamboo cup from his food box and handed it over to Feng You and the others.
Feng You and the others did not understand, and judging from his appearance, he was not treating them to water.
Lei Ruilin's face revealed a helpless expression, and reminded him: "Wash your hands."
Feng You and the others realised what was happening, and thought that Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin's father was being careful. He extended his hand, and Lei Ruilin poured water for them to wash their hands.
The few of them washed their hands, thanked him, then took a piece of dessert from their plates, and lightly took a bite. Their eyes lit up, what Lei Ruilin had said was not wrong at all.
The seven children shared all the snacks together. Aside from Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin, the other five all had unsatisfied expressions.
After Qin Ruiqi bid farewell to Lei Ruilin and his friends, Qin Mian and Lei Tia carried them to their horses.
Qin Mian turned and looked towards Chen Mufeng's direction. When Chen Mufeng called out to Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin, he noticed him and Lei Tia. Coincidentally, they both looked over as well.
When their eyes met, Chen Mufeng smiled awkwardly at Qin Mian, as his right hand uncomfortably moved away from the boy's shoulder.
Qin Mian eyes were full of ridicule, and raised his eyebrows at him.
Chen Mufeng helplessly waved his hand and then hugged the little boy.
Qin Mian and Lei Tia nodded at him before urging their horses to leave.
Halfway there, Qin Mian suddenly felt a distant fluctuation of Quintessential Essence and was greatly shocked. His first reaction was, could it be that other than them, there were other cultivators in the capital? However, this was unlikely. Back then, Tia's master said that he had accidentally fell into this space, and other than him, there were no other cultivators in this space.
"Tia?"
Lei Tia's eyes revealed a hint of shock, as he thought of the same thing as him, "Go take a look."
At this moment, a familiar wolf howl came from afar.
Qin Mian and Lei Tia were shocked again as they looked at each other in doubt.
"Could it be a little white and golden hair?" Qin Mian lost his voice.
Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin's eyes were opened wide.
Lei Ruilin urged anxiously, "Daddy, let's go take a look. It must be a little white and golden hair! "
Qin Mian was also very suspicious. The distance from Flowing Water Town to the capital was a total of several thousand kilometers. Even if Blondie and Blondie wanted to find them, would they be able to get to the capital without a hitch?
He carried Lei Ruilin and abandoned their horses to fly further away, saying, "Tia, I'll go take a look first!"
Lei Tia took out a piece of silver and passed it to a passerby, "Please send the horse to National Duke's Mansion."
The passerby didn't even have the chance to speak when they saw the man with the cold temperament fly up lightly like a swallow. His toes counted on the rooftops of the streets and he quickly disappeared.
With a bitter face, Yuan Anshi hid the white and golden hair behind him and looked at the Guard Commander Liu Tiande with a troubled expression.
"Lord Liu, this wolf and this bear both have an owner. Look??"
Liu Tiande's face was expressionless as he spoke in a businesslike tone, "Master Yuan, since I am shouldering the safety of the capital, I am responsible for the citizens of the capital. Don't make things difficult for me."Go, kill them all!"
His guards immediately raised their knives and cautiously circled around a spot of white and golden fur.
The commoners who were hiding in the distance shouted, "Kill them!"
"Yes!" Such a ferocious beast ca ot be left alive! "
"..."
Yuan Anshi walked over to Liu Tiande's side and reminded him in a low voice, "Master Liu, they are most likely from the National Duke's family??"
A dark and unfathomable emotion flashed past Liu Tiande's eyes as he gave a subtle wink to one of his men.
That subordinate said loudly: "So what if you are from National Duke? How could the National Duke not put the lives of commoners in his eyes? Brothers, attack! "
Xiao Bai bared his teeth at them in anger. Suddenly, he turned around and roared into the distance, "Awoo??"
Blondy also turned around and looked in the same direction as him. He jumped in excitement on the spot, his mouth letting out a strange 'chi chi' sound.
Everyone looked over in bewilderment as they heard a young voice full of excitement, "A little white... Golden hair..."
Qin Mian landed gracefully on the ground, just in time to block between Liu Tian De and Xiao Bai. He had clearly heard what Liu Tiande and his men had said just now.
Lei Tia and Qin Ruiqi were just a step too slow. They stood by Qin Mian's side as Lei Tia casually glanced at Liu Tiande.
Liu Tiande's movements paused.
Qin Mian cupped his fists and bowed to Liu Tian De, "This lord is too serious. Our family has kept this wolf and this bear for almost eight years. They have never hurt anyone.
"Greetings, National Duke, Madam National Duke." Liu Tian De bowed towards Qin Mian and Lei Tia, then said in a troubled tone, "I naturally believe in the words of the National Duke's Madam, but wolves and bears are all fierce beasts, staying in the capital would cause panic among the citizens. National Duke, what do you think? "
The commoners were easily incited by his words, and they all began to shout that they either killed a little white and golden hair, or chased them out of the capital.
Lei Tia put Qin Ruiqi down and pressed on his shoulder.
Qin Ruiqi glanced at Liu Tiande, and pulled Lei Ruilin's hand. The two brothers looked at each other and came to a tacit understanding. Qin Ruiqi walked over to Bai Qi and waved his hand. Little White immediately squatted down and let him ride on his back.
Lei Ruilin rolled his eyes, pointed at the golden hair and ordered: "Golden hair, sit."
Blondy i ocently did as he was told.
"Turn over??" Stand Up... Roll... Jump..."Lie down??"
Liu Tiande and the other people were all dumbstruck when they saw Golden Haired, who followed Lei Ruilin's orders wrongly. Some of the kids found it interesting and started to giggle while clapping their hands.
Lei Ruilin climbed onto the golden hair and grabbed its fur to play, smiling sweetly to the onlookers, "Uncle, uncle, aunt, aunt.
Lei Tia looked at Liu Tiande, "When I entered the capital, I did not bring them with me. It was obvious that they had come to the capital to look for their master. I believe that they won't hurt anyone so if Lord Liu is worried, he can go investigate. If they really did injure someone, I will take responsibility for it."
When the commoners saw the two children playing on the white and golden fur, they immediately changed their minds.
"This wolf and bear are obviously domesticated and can't hurt people."
"Looking at them, they must have suffered a lot on the way here. They are as loyal as our dog. It's really touching."
"..."
Liu Tian De's face darkened, he cupped his hands and said: "Thank you National Duke for your understanding."Let's go."
Since Little White and Golden Fur had come, Qin Mian's family would not be able to send them away. Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin wanted the commoners to reduce their fear of the white and golden fur. They would ride them separately and let the white and golden fur carry them.
"Goldfur??" Lei Ruilin laid on Golden Fur's body and hugged him. When he thought about how he had traveled a thousand miles to the capital to find them, he felt a pain in his heart.
Although Qin Ruiqi didn't say anything, his right hand had been caressing his back the entire time.
Qin Mian had long noticed Whitey and Goldfur's sorry state. He felt his heart ache but at the same time, he felt touched. Goldfur intimately rubbed his huge head against it.
Lei Tia was also deeply moved in his heart, as he praised his while patting her white neck. Xiao Bai used its tail to brush his leg as a form of greeting. Then, it walked in front of Yuan Anshi and called out to him in a low voice.
Qin Mian still remembered Yuan Anshi, "Master Yuan, how have you been? "Thank you for your help, White and Golden Hair."
Yuan Anshi laughed: "Meeting Madam National Duke is but a simple matter."Speaking of which, it's still a little white and smart. I still remember the location of our residence."
With that, he turned to Lei Tia again, "This official greets National Duke."
"No need to be so polite." Lei Tia said.
Qin Mian said: "One day, I will go to your house and personally thank Master Yuan."
Yuan Anshi was overjoyed, and quickly said: "I would not dare."
Qin Mian's family of four, together with a wolf and bear slowly returned home, followed by a large group of people who were watching the show.
Outside the crowd, a man in his early thirties was following Qin Mian's family with a thoughtful expression. The man was dressed in a purple robe and exuded a noble aura. Two attendants followed behind him.
"Master, is there something wrong?" one of the entourage asked cautiously. This master was the empress's blood related younger brother, the king's uncle Zhangsun Hee. He was the empress's only blood related younger brother and was well-loved by the empress.
Zhangsun Hee casually said: "Nothing, I just felt that the two people just now were familiar, I think I've seen them somewhere before."To the East Sun Academy."
"Yes."
Qin Mian and his family of four returned to their National Duke's Mansion, but the two horses had already been brought back.
Qin Mian ordered the servants to quickly prepare food and hot water for the white and golden fur. After waiting for the white and golden hair to eat and drink their fill, a large amount of hot water would also be boiled. The family bathed them together.
A little white and blond hair were obediently lying on the ground, letting them scrub. Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin talked with them from time to time, as if they were normal people. A little white and golden hair occasionally nodded or let out a few cries. Qin Mian had already sent the others away long ago, he was not afraid of anyone noticing anything strange.
"Daddy, prepare a room for Whitey and Goldfur." Lei Ruilin said as he brushed a little white fur.
Qin Mian said: "Rest assured, I have already sent people to prepare. Ruilin, slow down, stop wetting your clothes."
"Father, are their rooms in the main courtyard?" Qin Ruiqi asked.
Qin Mian said: "Yes, next to your room with Ruilin."
Seeing that Qin Ruiqi's rolled up sleeves were mostly wet, Lei Tia bent down and pulled it back up for him.
The family was busy, Steward Fu walked over.
"Master, someone from the palace has arrived."
Qin Mian and Lei Tia stood up and saw an elder standing beside Steward Fu.
The eunuch walked forward and bowed respectfully towards them."Greetings to National Duke and Madam National Duke. This servant has come to pass on the emperor's orders."
Lei Tia asked, "May I ask what Your Majesty wishes for?"
The young eunuch said, "Tomorrow is the Eastern Sun Academy's rest day. The Emperor said that the two young gongzis haven't come to the palace to see him for a long time, and he also wants to see the two pets on National Duke's Mansion."
Lei Tia nodded his head and said: "I present a report for the emperor, we will head to the palace tomorrow to give our respects."
"Yes, your servant will take his leave."
Qin Mian glanced at the Steward Fu, who gave him a handsome reward as he sent the attendant away.
Qin Ruiqi asked: "Father, me and my brother are going to the palace to see the emperor tomorrow?"
"Yes." Lei Tia asked, "Do you want to see the Emperor again?"
Qin Ruiqi slightly nodded."Your majesty isn't bad."
Qin Mian laughed to himself. The two words "at least" were subtle.
Lei Ruilin asked him."Last time, Imperial Majesty's uncle treated us to a snack. Big Brother and I also sent some to Imperial Emperor's uncle."
"Sure, " Qin Mian said."I'll teach you guys after you wash off a little white and golden hair."
