Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1094 Liu Zheng Returns to the Palace
He ran all the way from the alley to the street, and finally came to the main road leading directly to the north city - Xinghan Avenue.

He stood in front of the magnificent bridge leading to the North City, looking left and right. On both sides were the four-story-high Luoyang No. 1 restaurant, Lianshan Restaurant, connected by an aerial bridge.

Looking ahead, the wide streets of the north city, the rows of luxurious mansions, and the palace that appeared and disappeared at the end of the avenue quickly evoked countless memories deep in Tie Nao's mind.

"what……"

He had a splitting headache and covered his head. He held on to the stone Qilin on the bridge and trembled all over. Passers-by looked at him sideways, and many of them chose to stay away from him for fear that this strange man would suddenly go crazy and bring disaster to others.

The Miao family members finally caught up with them, and they were all exhausted and panting, especially Miao's father, who had to carry his youngest son on his back. After such a wild run, he was already sweating profusely.

"Hoo... hoo... good boy, looking at your physique... your physical strength, I think you must be a good fighter in the army..."

Father Miao put his youngest son down. He was too tired to stand, so he just squatted down, holding onto a wall.

Miao Juan looked at Tietou's appearance and became very worried, so she ran over in a hurry.

"Brother Tietou, what's wrong with you?"

Tietou opened his eyes with difficulty, glanced at her, and said with trembling lips: "I... I seem to... remember... my home... where is my home..."

Miao Juan was overjoyed when she heard this: "That's great."

She turned around and shouted to her parents, "Dad, Mom, Brother Tietou has remembered where his home is..."

When Miao's mother heard this, her body, which had been so tired that it seemed like it was about to collapse at any time, immediately perked up and ran over in two steps.

"Where is it? Come on, take me there. My family has taken care of you for so long, we need to give you at least thirty or fifty thousand coins to make up for it. Um... no, we need to add two pieces of silk, and... and a cow, um, that's it..."

"Mom, why are you…"

Miao Juan was about to express her dissatisfaction, but she saw Tietou slowly stand up, shake his head, and seemed to be a little sober.

He pointed ahead: "I remember, my home is just...just in front..."

"Huh?" Everyone was slightly stunned.

The Miao boy grabbed his father's hand and said in a childish and excited tone, "Brother Tietou, I want to go to your house to play! The adults said that the other side of the river is the most fun. I want to go, I want to go..."

Father Miao was also surprised: "Oh my, I didn't expect you to be the son of a noble family."

Unexpectedly, Miao's mother sneered.

"You are so easy to fool. Did you believe him when he said he was in the North City? Why didn't he say he lived in the palace? How could these high officials be willing to let their sons risk their lives on the front lines? I don't believe it."

Father Miao said sternly, "You are not right. Nowadays, everyone in our Han Dynasty is proud of their military achievements. I heard that your Majesty's eldest son, as well as the sons of generals Guan, Cheng, Gao, etc., are all training in the army. Moreover, General Gao Shun's eldest son, when he was only fourteen years old, hid his name and served as a soldier under General Xu Huang. He relied on his merits step by step to gain his current fame. I think Tietou might be the son of a general in the army."

He looked at it carefully, and nodded repeatedly the more he looked, "Hmm...Look at Tietou's aura, so majestic, there's no mistake, absolutely no mistake."

Miao Juan was the happiest. She grabbed Tietou's hand and jumped up three feet high: "Brother Tietou can finally go home. That's great."

When Miao's mother saw that they didn't take her words seriously, her face turned dark.

"Okay, you said you live in the North City. Come on, take us to your house and take the compensation we should give to our family back with us to avoid any trouble."

After saying this, she rolled her eyes at her husband and two children and said, "You just believe his lies. If he really lived in North City, I would have supported him all these days for free, and I would be willing to work like a slave for him."

Tietou kept his eyes fixed straight ahead, and it was unclear whether he heard what was said or not.

After a moment, he pointed straight ahead: "Over there."

Having said that, he took a step forward.

Seeing this, Miao's mother hurried to catch up, and the others did not dare to fall behind.

Along the way, Miao's mother kept making sarcastic remarks, which made Miao's father, who was always an honest man, couldn't help but retort a few words, but he ended up getting a slap on the shoulder from his wife.

"Oh, isn't this the residence of our father and mother official, Jingzhao Yin Cai..."

Miao's mother looked at a mansion dozens of steps away from afar and became inexplicably excited.

After all, although the North City does not prohibit outsiders from entering, these are the residences of important officials of the imperial court. The gates of each mansion are heavily guarded. The guards are tall and strong, and look very imposing. For ordinary people, there is no benefit when they come here except to be frightened by the aura.

Therefore, there have always been few people from the South City or the villages outside Luoyang who come here. For the Miao family, except for coming here to see the novelty when they first arrived in Luoyang, they have not been to the North City for several years. In addition, the North City has changed tremendously in recent years, which caused them to exclaim constantly.

"Look, that place is the Imperial College, right?" Miao Juan stretched her neck and looked at a huge building complex covering a vast area in front of her on the right, her eyes full of admiration and desire.

"It would be great if my brother could go to study here..."

When Miao's mother saw Taixue, she showed a rare look of anticipation and tenderness. She reached out and touched her little son's head.

"Alas, I wonder if our An'er has this luck... If he enters the Imperial College, he will have a bright future..."

Tietou turned around and said, "After I find my home, I will definitely ask a teacher to teach An'er. After a few years, when he is old enough, I will let him take the entrance examination for the Imperial College. An'er is so smart, I think he will definitely pass the exam."

This was originally a good intention, but when it reached Miao's mother's ears, it sounded like sarcasm, which made her very unhappy.

"Hmph, it's not too late to brag after you can find your home." Tietou didn't take it as an offense and continued walking forward.

The crowd walked past many wealthy mansions until they finally arrived at the square outside the south gate of the imperial palace.

Three years ago, a new "palace protection river" was dug outside the palace gate, which brought in the Luo River, circled the imperial palace, and finally reached the northwest corner of the palace, where it merged into the Ju River in Shanglin Garden. The square was located outside the palace protection river, which was a hundred feet long and wide. The imperial guards patrolled constantly, and the security was very strict.

Seeing that Tietou was still about to move forward, Miao Juan hurriedly grabbed him.

"Brother Tietou, we can't go any further..."

Tietou tilted his head, somewhat confused: "Why?"

Miao Juan was a little embarrassed. After all, she was young and didn't know how to explain it. She could only look to her father for help.

Father Miao came over and said, "Tietou, the palace is in front of us. That's where the emperor, the queen mother, and the ladies live. How can we get in? It seems that your memory has not recovered yet. But you don't have to worry. This time in Luoyang, you will always remember something. If we come here more often in the future, maybe you will be able to find where your home is."

Mother Miao folded her hands over her chest and watched coldly: "Tsk... I think he is hysterical... I just mentioned the palace casually, and he really ran to the palace gate. Let's go, let's not accompany him to die."

As he said this, he picked up his son and left.

Tietou said seriously: "But, I really remember that I seemed to live in here..."

Miao's mother was furious: "You ignorant little thief, if you want to die, just go by yourself. Why drag us all into this? I saved your life after all, is this how you repay me? If you want to go, go by yourself. We are leaving."

She turned around and complained, "Crazy, really crazy."

"Mom, how can you leave Brother Tietou behind?" Miao Juan couldn't bear it and stood beside Tietou, unwilling to leave.

"Girl, do you want to die with him?"

"I don't care. I can't leave Brother Tietou here. We have to leave together." Miao Juan was very determined, which made Miao's mother so angry that her nose was crooked and her eyes were squinting.

"Well, you've grown up, and now you dare to talk back to your mother for a stinky man. I'll beat you to death today..."

She pretended to hit Miao Juan, and Miao's father hurried forward to stop her.

As everyone was making a fuss, a team of royal guards came trotting over.

"Who dares to make such a noise in front of the palace gate?"

This loud shout scared Miao's father and mother so much that their faces turned pale instantly. Miao's mother instinctively hid behind her husband.

Father Miao hurriedly stood in front of everyone, bowed his body, and said in a trembling voice: "My fellow...my fellow soldiers, I...I accidentally got lost, yes, I got lost...I'm leaving now, I'm leaving now..."

Seeing him like this, the imperial guards became suspicious: "Huh? Lost? Nonsense, although the North City is big, the streets are wide and you can see east, west, south and north at a glance. How could you get lost and even get lost in front of the palace? You seem to be sneaking around, are you a spy who sneaked into the city?"

This shout frightened Miao's father and mother so much that they almost collapsed to the ground.

When Miao's mother saw Tietou still standing still, staring at the palace, she couldn't help but feel furious.

“It’s all his fault…”

She pointed at Tietou and said, "It was all his fault. He said he lived in the North City and wanted to bring me here for a visit. Who knew he would bring me to the palace? This has nothing to do with me, sir. You can just arrest him... He even boasted that he lived in the palace."

Miao Juan's face changed drastically: "Mom, how can you do this..."

Father Miao also turned around and looked at his daughter-in-law with some displeasure.

Just now he was standing in front of everyone, and the Imperial Guards did not notice Tietou behind him for a while. But at this time, when Miao's mother pointed, Miao's father turned around again, and the eyes of this team of Imperial Guards were all focused on Tietou.

After seeing this, their faces changed drastically.

The captain in the lead knelt down without saying a word: "Your Highness, you are finally back..."

He turned around and shouted to the soldiers behind him, "Quick, go and report to His Majesty that His Highness has returned to the palace, quick..."

The general of the Royal Guards, who looked to be in his early thirties, looked at Tietou and couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Your Highness...where have you been these days? You don't know that the Queen Mother and His Majesty are almost dying of worry about you...and the Third General..."

Seeing his expression and hearing his words, the Miao family members were horrified. They looked at each other, and saw unbelievable shock in each other's eyes.

"This... this kid... is really... really a prince?" Miao's mother said this, then her eyes rolled back and she fell down weakly.

At this time, a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds came from behind.

“Brother…Brother…”

Guan Ping came galloping over and after seeing Tietou, he burst into tears of joy. Even though he was still dozens of steps away, he couldn't wait to jump off his galloping horse, ran over quickly, and hugged him.

"Brother...you're okay, you're really okay, that's great..."
