Castle of Black Iron

3 days later, an airport in the periphery of Xuanyuan Hill.

It was a fine day with blue sky, white clouds and breeze. Zhang Tie came to the airport a few hours earlier out of excitement.

The airport of Xuanyuan Hill was almost the only airport exclusive for airboats.

Whenever Zhang Tie saw an airboat approaching from the north, he would watch it through the glass window of the lounge. Watching Zhang Tie’s anxious look, Bai Suxian and Yan Feiqing couldn’t help but laugh. Finally, at the sight of the familiar Iron-Dragon airboat approaching from the north and parking on the apron, Zhang Tie couldn’t wait to rush out of the lounge…

After the airboat parked, a hatch door on one side slowly opened. The first one who rushed out of there was Zhang Chengba, the second son of Zhang Tie and Beverly, followed by a group of children: Zhang Chengxiao, Zhang Chengbing, Zhang Shini, Zhang Shixia, Alexander, Andre, Matvey, Anatoli, Victor, Igor, Oleg, Nigolas and Lev.

Except for Zhang Chenglei, Zhang Chengting and Zhang Chengpei, all the other 14 children of Zhang Tie had arrived.

At the sight of Zhang Tie, those children immediately charged at Zhang Tie as they shouted “Papa” like tiger cubs and little birds.

“Papa!”

“Papa!”

“Papa!”

Squatting on the ground, Zhang Tie opened his arms with a big smile before putting his arms around Zhang Chengba. After kissing Zhang Chengba’s face, Zhang Tie had been surrounded by his kids. Hearing their shouts, Zhang Tie burst into laughter as he kissed their faces forcefully one after another.

These kids’ ages ranged from 6 to 7. Due to inheritance, these kids were stronger than their peers.

Since he left Youzhou Province at the order of Xuanyuan Command on the 904th year of Black Iron Calendar, Zhang Tie had not seen these kids for almost 2 years. As for Zhang Tie, he had actually not seen these kids for 62 years. Therefore, both Zhang Tie and these kids were very thrilled to see each other.

“Papa, I missed you…” Zhang Chengshi put her arms around Zhang Tie’s arm as she dropped off her tears.

Watching her daughter’s tears, Zhang Tie was so moved that he hurriedly helped her wipe off her tears as he said kindly, “Shini, don’t cry. Papa missed you too…”

“Papa, it’s said that you’re injured. Are you still in pain?” Zhang Shixia drew Zhang Tie’s hand as she blinked her sparkling eyes and said, “Is that on your hand? Let me blow it off for you. When I fell off and broke my hand, mom said that it would not ache when you blow it…” After the little girl finished her words, she started to make her mouth bloated and blow Zhang Tie’s hand.

“Younger sister, papa is a hero. Papa fought demons and saved a lot of people…” Alexander said as he watched Zhang Tie with an admiring look. After coming to Taixia Country for over 2 years, Alexander could already speak Hua language very fluently.

“Shini, papa is fine. Papa has already recovered his injuries. He’s pretty good!” Zhang Tie kissed the little girl’s face again before kneading Alexander’s head.

Zhang Tie loved the two daughters the most. Watching her cute daughters, Zhang Tie felt that all he did in the frontline was worthwhile.

Watching Zhang Tie’s fatherly smile and his kind look, Yan Feiqing and Bai Suxian revealed strange looks; especially Yan Feiqing who was in a daze.

Zhang Tie then walked towards the airboat, cradling Zhang Shini and Zhang Shixia.

At this moment, Linda showed his face at the hatch door, followed by Aimei and Aixue, Fiona and Beverly. They all watched Zhang Tie with tears in eyes.

Over these months when Zhang Tie was heavily injured and receiving medical treatment in Xuanyuan Hill, undoubtedly, his wives and concubines were concerned about him pretty much. However, they knew that it wouldn’t do any help to Zhang Tie’s recovery if they came to Xuanyuan Hill during that period. Therefore, they gave up coming here for the time being.

Zhang Tie’s parents followed after Beverly. Zhang Yang came in the end.

Besides Zhang Tie’s father and elder brother, all the women that got off the airboat had red eyes when they saw Zhang Tie again.

“Hahaha, come on, I’ve told you I’m fine. No more tears!” Zhang Tie burst into laughter as he turned around and shouted towards Yan Feiqing, “Qing’er, Suxian, come over here to greet our parents…”

After hearing Zhang Tie’s words, Yan Feiqing moved to Zhang Tie’s side lightly before lowering her body to one side towards Zhang Tie’s parents by putting her hands on both sides and saying decently, “Papa, Mama, I’m Yan Feiqing…”

“Papa, Mama, I’m Suxian!” Bai Suxian imitated Yan Feiqing.

Zhang Tie’s mother and father exchanged a glance with each other. After that, Zhang Tie’s mother looked at Yan Feiqing from her head to her toe before hurriedly helping Yan Feiqing and Bai Suxian to stand up as she said, “We’re a family now. No need to be that formal…”

Zhang Tie threw a glance at his elder brother. Given his elder brother’s eye light, Zhang Tie knew that his parents had long known Yan Feiqing’s identity.

Not only Zhang Tie’s mother, but even Zhang Tie’s elder brother, wives and concubines were glancing at Yan Feiqing stealthily. Given his elder brother’s eye light, Zhang Tie knew that Zhang Yang had been conquered by his ability.

“It’s not the right place to talk. Papa, mama, let’s talk about it after returning to my manor!”

After greeting each other, even though they had a lot of words to say, it was not the proper place for them to talk at the airport. Zhang Tie waved his hand, fetching some vehicles.

Zhang Tie’s elder brother and Zhang Tie’s kids got on a sedan. Zhang Tie’s wives and concubines got on a limo. Zhang Tie and his parents entered the same sedan.

It was knowledge of sharing vehicles. In this way, Zhang Tie’s wives and concubines could communicate with each other privately earlier; so could Zhang Tie and his parents.

After all of them got on vehicles, with the convoy of some cars, the fleet started to drive towards the emperor’s imperial city.
