Reunion with an Old Friend (Part 2) Text/Lemon Smile

  "Yes." Li Su gritted his teeth and turned around, continuing to lead the charge.

  Mu Han Yao gazed into the distance, for now, he had yet to find the best opportunity. He calculated the time, if all went smoothly, tonight they would break through Moon City and by tomorrow, they could directly reach the capital of Qiao Guo.

  Walking in the desert, Feng Ao Tian turned around, looking at the soldiers who were already tired and hungry. She looked at Leng Qian Ye again, although he had internal strength, but it was also possible to see fatigue, not to mention the soldiers behind him. She dismounted her horse, "Pass on the order to rest in place."

  Leng Qianye dismounted immediately and looked at her, "Your Majesty, is there something?"

  Feng Ao Tian held his hand, holding a torch, and walked forward in silence.

  Rei followed her, walking slowly forward, because no matter where she went, he would follow her.

  Feng Ao Tian continued to walk forward, a faint fragrance wafting between her nostrils. She held up the torch and looked in the distance, until after walking for half an hour, she finally saw a forest in front of her.

  Qian Ye followed her forward, and to his surprise, there was a small oasis in front of him. There were green trees here, and he saw Feng Ao Tian raise her palms, followed by a gust of wind sweeping through the entire forest. Then, she picked up her hem and caught the small, red date-like things falling from the trees. He lit them with fire, and to his surprise, they were not red but yellow dates. He looked at Feng Ao Tian, "Your Majesty, what is this?"

  "Date." Feng Ao Tian looked at him, "Try some."

  Leng Qianye took one from her hand, put it in her mouth, and felt a faint sweetness invading, although it was a bit dry, but being able to find such food in this desert where people rarely set foot was simply the most precious thing.

  He hastily picked one up, pulled out a handkerchief, wiped it clean and put it in her mouth. Feng Ao Tian gently bit down on it, looking at him, indicating that he should lift his hem up.

  Leng Qianye hastily lifted his hem, Feng Ao Tian put the sand dates in his hem and then used his inner strength to shake down the sand dates from the tree. Before long, the two of them left with two big bags full of sand dates.

  When they returned, the soldiers were already exhausted and resting. The deputy general, who had been keeping watch all along, hastily came to greet them, looking at Feng Ao Tian and Leng Qian Ye, "Your Majesty, General!"

  "Give these to the soldiers." said Koori Senya in a low voice.

  The deputy general looked at what was unfolded inside Kiriya's hem and asked, "What is this?"

  "Date." Leng Qianye said lightly, "Try one."

  The deputy commander took one and put it in his mouth, staring at Han Qianye in surprise, "This... this..."

  "Send it out." Leng Qianye continued.

  "Yes." The deputy general hastily ordered someone to take over Feng Ao Tian and Leng Qian Ye's clothes with dates, and began distributing them.

  Feng Ao Tian divided the dates in his hand into two halves and placed one half in Leng Qian Ye's hand, "When we leave the desert tomorrow and conquer Qi Guo, I'll drink a few cups with you."

  "Good." Leng Qianye carefully wiped the dates in her hand clean one by one, then placed them in Feng Ao Tian's other hand. She took the dates from Feng Ao Tian's hand and wiped them clean one by one.

  Feng Ao Tian looked at him, smiled and picked up a lychee to put in his mouth. At the same time, she also put one in her own mouth. The two of them ate while gazing out at the night sky.

  The warriors behind him were biting into the dates in their hands, and some even left tears of excitement, because at this moment, being able to eat such sweet food was already a heavenly gift for them.

  The desert here exudes a faint tenderness, as soft as the yellow sand, while the Moonlit City of Jingguo is shrouded in a bloodthirsty chill, like the mist that envelops the sky.

  Mo Han Yao had been waiting for an opportunity, he knew that Shi Yi was born arrogant and would definitely become complacent and let his guard down after seeing him unable to make progress for a long time.

  Yi Wu led a team of cavalry to attack the western city gate, which was also somewhat difficult. Fortunately, the military strength here was relatively weak, and Shi Yi put most of his troops in Muhanyao's place, so as long as he held on, he would break through.

  At this time, Fu Han, who was trapped in the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked at the city tower in front of him, looking at Shi Yi, and couldn't help but shake his head and say, "Indeed, you are young and arrogant."

  His current injury has almost recovered, he doesn't understand why Mochanyao wants to take him to the battlefield, but now, he sees that Qiguojun is about to be broken through, and he can't remain indifferent.

  The soldiers beside him, now anxiously waiting to go into battle, he could see that the Fengguo soldiers, under Mu Han's and Leng Qianye's training, indeed had a few more points of bravery compared to the Jiguos.

  Before that, he had already thought of a way to leave. He slowly retreated to the back of the carriage, then lifted up the board at the back, which was an invisible compartment opened by him using the long nails on the carriage. He quickly hid under the carriage from the compartment, looking around cautiously, and then slowly moved forward, inserting the long nail into the horse's tail, causing the soldier driving the carriage to fall off, while he rushed out, riding on the horse, galloping forward wildly.

  The soldiers guarding the chariot rushed forward to block it, but because the horse was in pain and had lost its senses, it galloped forward desperately. The chariots behind were also smashed, and many soldiers were trampled. Mu Han Yao heard the commotion, turned around, and saw Fu Han riding his horse towards him. He flew up and swung at Fu Han, but was dodged. Then, he broke through the Feng Kingdom's soldiers and headed towards the Moon City city gate.

  Shi Yi looked at the person who rushed out and after seeing his appearance clearly, he let out a cold hum, "So he's still alive."

  "Lord Hou, it's General Fu, should we let him in?" The guard beside him said hastily.

  "What's the point? Once the city gate is opened, isn't it opening the door wide for the enemy to come in?" Shi Yitian said in a low voice, "He's now been captured by the enemy, who knows if he has defected or not."

  The guards stood by, and the people of Qiguo had a much deeper respect for Fu Han than for Shi Yi. After all, it was Fu Han who had been guarding the border for years. However, now that their master had spoken, the guards naturally did not dare to make any moves.

  Fu Han rode his horse, passing through the soldiers of Feng Guo, and rushed towards the city gate tower. However, he did not see any signs of the city gate opening. He raised his eyes and looked at Shi Yi, who was standing under the city gate tower, "I am Fu Han, why haven't you opened the city gate yet?"

  "A defeated general, what face do you have to ask me to open the city gate?" Shi Yu sneered coldly.

  He felt a chill run down his spine, he sat on the horse, looking at Shi Yu, never expecting that after a lifetime of battles, he would end up like this. He came in with great fanfare but couldn't get out, he threw back his head and laughed loudly, spitting out a mouthful of blood, then fell off the horse.

  Mu Han Yao looked at Fu Han like that and knew he had already become heartless. He then ordered Li Su, "Bring Fu Han here."

  "General, I won't go." Li Su gazed at Fu Han, thinking that he had been well-fed and supplied by him, yet now he was doing such an ungrateful thing.

  Mu Han Yao looked at Li Su and asked, "If it were you who was captured by the Qi State, would you do the same?"

  Li Su sank into thought for a moment, as if he understood. He then rode his horse to the city gate tower, picked up Fu Han from the ground and put him on the horse's back, turned around and came back.

  Mu Han raised his eyes and gazed at Shi Yi, saying in a deep voice, "With such arrogant and reckless people in the Qi State, how can it not be defeated?"

  Li Su brought Han over, "General, it seems he's only got one breath left."

  "Give him this to drink." Mu Han took out a white porcelain bottle from his bosom and handed it over.

  "What is this?" Li Su couldn't help but ask.

  "It's a lifesaving medicine left by His Majesty." Murong Yan said calmly.

  "Did Your Majesty know he would be like this?" Li Su couldn't help but ask in surprise.

  "Hmm." Mu Han nodded and said, "The Emperor said that if he didn't escape, I would have to kill him."

  Li Su was taken aback again, seemingly understanding something. He then poured out the medicine pills and put them into Fu Han's mouth, took out a water bag, and fed him some water. Afterwards, he looked at the soldiers behind him and said, "Carry him into the horse carriage."

  "Yes." The soldier hastily replied and then carried him away towards the rear.

  At this time, Yi Wu had successfully broken through the western city tower and hastily led his troops to rush in, sending someone to report.

  Mu Han Yao looked at Li Su and said, "Continue attacking the city!"

  "Yes." Li Su responded, and then led his troops to continue charging forward.

  Mu Han Yao then led another group of people to rush towards the west city tower, and from a distance, they saw the open city gate, as well as the corpses piled up on both sides of the gate.

  He rode his horse at a gallop and was the first to charge into the city, then looked at Yi Wu, "Don't disturb the civilians, as long as they are willing to surrender their arms, I will spare their lives."

  "Yes." Yi Wu knew that Mochan Yao did this on purpose. Every time they broke into a city, he would remind them in the same way.

  Shi Yi stood on the city wall, looking at the Fengguo soldiers still desperately attacking below. He laughed wildly, and a deputy general rushed over, hastily kneeling on the ground. "Young Master Hou, the west gate has been breached, and a large group of Fengguo troops have poured in."

  Shi Yi's face revealed surprise, then he shifted his gaze, only to discover that Mu Han Yao's figure had long since disappeared. He hastily led the troops and rushed towards the west city tower.

  On this side, the number of people and horses was significantly less than that of the enemy. Li Su led his soldiers to make a concerted effort, forcibly breaking through the city gate and rushing in with his men and horses. When Shi Yi led his men to rush to the west wing tower, it was already too late, because the entire Moon City had been taken by Mu Han Yao.

  In less than half a time, the entire Moon City was stained with blood. Mu Han Yao looked at Shi Yu, who was surrounded, riding on a tall horse, slowly moving forward, looking down from above.

  Shi Yi looked at the soldiers of Feng Guo in front of him and said in a low voice, "If you put Fu Han on the city wall, maybe you can still win."

  Shi Yi listened to his words, her eyes flashing, and then burst out laughing, "Since ancient times, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Since you have defeated him, there's no need for further talk."

  He said, then drew out the sword from his waist, in front of his guards, in front of the Fengguo soldiers, and killed himself.

  Mu Han did not stop him, and he said in a low voice, "A hundred years ago, Feng Guo and Qi Guo were one family. Later, King Qi usurped the name of the world and established himself as king, which led to today's war. Now is the time to go home."

  He said coldly and turned around to leave with his men.

  Yi Wu and Li Su hastily cleaned up the battlefield, after arranging everything properly, they led a large team of people to follow Mu Han You to rush towards the next city.

  Bai Feng, who was far away at the border of Yun Guo and Qi Guo, stayed in his own tent for the entire day without coming out.

  Although Jin Yao set up his camp here, he was still busy with the affairs of Lingyue Kingdom. After all, in order to recover a country, one must also make plans for future stability.

  She dispatched a thousand dark guards to hide in the dark corners of Lingyue Kingdom, and later, she changed Lingyue Kingdom to Lingyue City, reappointed officials, and let the entire city return to normal life. Although the people still remembered the massacre that day, the dead were gone, and the living had to continue living. The weight of the past would eventually be forgotten with the passage of time.

  Deep in the night, Jin Yao stepped out of his tent and stretched his limbs. He then saw Bai Feng standing far away, gazing at the night scene.

  Jinyao slowly stepped forward and stood beside him, "General Bai."

  Bai Feng turned her gaze and looked at Jin Yao, "The North has a purple star appearing, it seems that your emperor's wish is about to come true."

  Jinyao looked at him, "This is within my family's master's expectations, just a move, no wish."

  Bai Feng listened to Jin Yao's calm and collected words, feeling that the person in front of him was even more composed than he had imagined. He continued, "How about playing another game of chess with me?"

  "Alright." Jing Yao nodded and the two of them walked into the tent, sitting down on a soft couch. Jing Yao held the white chess piece while Bai Feng held the black one. On the side table, sandalwood incense was burning quietly.

  Chu Lingtian was stunned by the secret revealed by the shooting star, and he stood there in a daze for the entire day, without moving.

  After a meteor shower, he lay on the soft couch, looking at Cat with a sidelong glance, "The Holy Master is now very close to leaving the desert."

  "Hmm." The old cat replied indifferently, then turned his gaze to Xuan Yuan Yi on the bed, "He will wake up tomorrow, shouldn't you hide?"

  Meteor dodged and said, "I won't hide."

  The tomcat approached him, "Really won't hide?"

  "Uh-huh." The meteor nodded and said, "I'm sleepy, I'll sleep."

  The cat looked at him and immediately lay down, but his mind kept flashing back to the words of the meteor, feeling uneasy in his heart, he couldn't let his master cry.

  This night was destined to be a sleepless one, for Feng Ao Tian and Leng Qian Ye in the desert, for Mu Han Yao who had just broken through the Moon City, for Mao Gong Gong who knew the secrets of the sky, for Chu Ling Tian who knew the truth about Xue Ke's joy, and even more so for Bai Feng and Jin Yao who were currently engaged in a game of Go. Unbeknownst to them, the sky gradually brightened.

  Feng Ao Tian and Leng Qian Ye continued walking in the desert, looking at the yellow sand in front of them. She took out the compass in her hand and then glanced sideways at him, "Not far from here, there is a village where we can rest for a while and eat something."

  "Yes." Reiko knew that even if they were to leave the desert, the soldiers would still have no strength to fight.

  The two of them continued walking forward slowly.

  The emperor of the country, Dugu Xingchen, had just received news from the Moon City that Shi Yu's army was defeated and he took his own life. He grasped the urgent letter with both hands, trembling as he fell onto the dragon throne. He looked up, recalling Dugu Xiye, and felt an even deeper despair, as if heaven itself was not giving him a way out.

  Fu Zhuo also received the news, and now he has led his troops to rush to Yucheng, the next city of Yuecheng. He stood on the city tower, looking at the Fengguo army slowly pressing in below the city tower. His eyes sank, and a cold color appeared on his handsome face.

  Mu Han raised his eyes and also saw Fu Zhuo on the city wall, then looked at Yi Wu and Li Su on one side, "Who is he?"

  "I don't know, judging from his appearance, he's probably only fifteen or sixteen years old." Li Su said, sizing him up and continuing to speak.

  Yi Wu looked at Fu Zhuo, who was of the same age as him, "General, let me take care of him."

  "Good." Murong Yan nodded in response.

  Yi Wu led his men and horses to the city gate tower, shouting loudly.

  Fu Zhuo lowered his head and looked at the person in front of him, "Who are you? State your name!"

  Yi Wu said in a low voice, "I am Yi Wu."

  Fu Zhuo heard this and let out a cold laugh, "He's just a nobody, call Mu Han Yao out."

  Yi Wu listened to Fu Zhuo's sneering tone and hastily shouted, "Who are you? Still not reporting your name!"

  "I'm paying for it!" Zhuo shouted back.

  "Fuhan is you?" Yi Wuxian was taken aback for a moment, then asked.

  "He is indeed my elder brother at home." Fu Zhuo replied in a low voice.

  Mo Han also heard Fu Zhuo's response and turned to look at Li Su, "Since he is Fu Han's brother, then I'll try his ability."

  "Yes." Li Su replied in a low voice.

  Yi Wu had not received Mo Han's order to retreat, so he continued, "I am the son of Yi Yang, do you dare to have a showdown with me?"

  Fu Zhuo was indeed young and vigorous, now hearing that Yi Wu was the son of Yi Yang, he hastily responded in a low voice, then descended from the city tower and rode his horse out of the city.

  The city gate opened, Fu Zhuo held a long spear in one hand and rode a sorrel horse to stand at the gate, looking at Yi Wu, "My brother fell into your hands, if I win, you will let my brother go."

  Yi Wu listened to his words and turned around, looking at Mu Han Yao.

  Mo Han nodded slightly in agreement.

  Yi Wu hastily gathered his strength and immediately responded, "Alright, watch closely."

  Having said that, he urged his horse forward and rushed towards Fu Chou.

  Fu Zhuo also went forward to meet him, the two men, one hand grasping a large knife and the other hand grasping a long spear, the sound of clashing weapons shook the sky, the soldiers of both countries held their breath and watched intently.

  Li Su looked at Mu Han Yao who was unusually quiet beside him and asked, "This Fu Zhuo's martial arts skills are not weak."

  "Hmm." Mu Han Yao replied, "Yi Wu's isn't bad either."

  "That's it." Li Su replied proudly.

  Mu Han Yao stared at the scene in front of him, motionless. In the carriage, Fu Han heard Fu Zhuo's voice outside. Due to last night's anger and heart attack, although he had taken the life-saving medicine, he was still in a coma. However, his eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and two lines of clear tears slid down from the corners of his eyes.

  In the palace, Xue Ke has been acting as the leader of the Imperial Guard for several days. Every day, she would patrol on time and then head to Ji Gong Gong's place.

  The old man was also very quiet, letting her lie in the rocking chair, basking in the sun, while he did his own thing.

  Lan Yun returned from the Ducha Yuan and went to Yi Yang's bedroom, seeing his pale face, still recovering from a cold, coughing non-stop.

  However, he was still uneasy and sat upright, reviewing the memorials.

  He stepped forward and snatched the pen from Yi Yang's hand, "You're already like this, yet you still worry so much."

  "It's just a cold, it doesn't matter." Yi Yang raised his eyes and looked at Lan Junshu, his face pale, with a look of worry and anxiety between his eyebrows, looking quite ill.

  Lan Yun Shu turned around and looked at the attendant beside him, "Is the medicine ready?"

  "It's been ready for a while, but Master always says he'll have another cup later, so it's been delayed." The attendant nearby hastily replied.

  "Hurry up and bring it over." Lan Jing's warm expression now had a few hints of sternness.

  "Yes, I'll go get it." The attendant hastily replied and quickly retreated.

  Yi Yang looked at him, "I really don't mind."

  "If the Emperor returns to the palace and sees you in this state, he will certainly be angry with me." Lan Yun stepped forward, took a pillow, placed it behind his waist, and covered him with a brocade quilt.

  "How could His Majesty bear to trouble you?" Yi Yang said with a soft and gentle smile.

  Lan Yun Shu raised her eyes and looked at him with a determined expression, "I will definitely let go."

  Yi Yang chuckled and said, "Don't fool me."

  "You don't know the emperor's temperament, do you? Although he appears to be indifferent to you on the surface, in his heart, he actually values you. Otherwise, why would he specially prepare medicinal soup for you every time he has a meal?" Lan Junshu said, holding up the memorial in front of him.

  "That's right, the emperor is fond of everyone, but he's particularly cruel to me." Gu Ye Feng also pushed the dragon chair over slowly with a haggard face.

  Lan Yun Shu raised her eyes and looked at him, "The Emperor treats you extremely well, otherwise, why would he arrange for someone to serve you specially?"

  "This is a double torture for both the spirit and the flesh." Gu Ye Feng raised his hands, grasping at his hair, then lifted his gaze, staring at Lan Jun Shu with a desperate expression, "When will this nightmare end?"

  "Pei Han has been very considerate of you, how come you just don't appreciate it?" Yi Yang looked at him and sighed helplessly.

  "I'm not worthy of her kindness, I'll give it to you instead." Gu Ye Feng was carried onto the soft couch by his attendants and looked at Yi Yang, "Look at you, in this state, still thinking about national affairs."

  "If I don't do it, it will ultimately fall on your shoulders. How can I bear to go?" Yi Yang looked at Gu Ye Feng and said softly.

  "Now I have been tempered and your part, both Yuexuan and I can undertake." Gu Ye Feng continued to say.

  As they spoke, the attendant had already brought in the medicine. Lan Jing Shu looked at Yi Yang and said, "Drink it while it's hot."

  Yi Yang helplessly smiled and brought over the medicine bowl, tilting his head back to drink it down. Because he drank too hastily, he suddenly started coughing violently.

  Lan Yun Shu looked at him and hastily went forward, patting his back to help him catch his breath. "You really do have medicine on you at all times."

  Yi Yang suppressed his cough and said in a low voice, "It's like this for this lifetime."

  Lan Yun listened to his words, and the tone of his speech revealed a sense of vicissitudes, which made him feel uncomfortable in his heart.

  Gu Ye Feng also understood the meaning and responded with a cold hum, "What about this life of mine?"

  Yi Yang looked at him, "You still have a good apprentice."

  "Don't tease me." Gu Ye Feng said coldly, "I'm in a desperate situation, every day feels like a year, and living is worse than dying."

  Lan Jing and Yi Yang looked at each other with a smile as they watched Gu Ye Feng's painful expression.

  "Master!" At this time, a clear and beautiful voice rang out, immediately making Gu Ye Feng's entire nervous system tense up.

  He stared straight at the door of the study, and saw Leng Pei Han walking in with a bowl of specially simmered clear heart and moistening lung soup. Looking at Gu Ye Feng, he hastily put down the bowl, "Master, I've specially simmered this soup for you, let me serve you a bowl."

  Gu Ye Feng gritted his teeth and stared at Leng Pei Han, "I... won't... drink..."

  "My throat is a bit dry, I was just thinking of having a drink." Yi Yang hastily interjected.

  Leng Pei Han hastily smiled and replied, "I'll get it right away."

  As she spoke, she hastily filled three bowls and placed them in front of Yi Yang, Lan Jing Shu, and Gu Ye Feng. "Everyone, drink while it's hot, see if it's good?"

  Gu Ye Feng let out a cold snort and pushed the bowl of soup aside, picking up the memorial instead and flipping through it fiercely.

  Yi Yang and Lan Jing picked up their bowls of soup, took a sip, nodded and said, "It's confirmed."

  Leng Pei Han sat happily across from Gu Ye Feng, looking at him, "Master, you have some too."

  Gu Ye Feng didn't look at her, "I don't want to drink now."

  "That's enough, Master. I'll pour you another bowl." Leng Pei Han immediately picked up the soup bowl in front of him and continued drinking on his own.

  Yi Yang and Lan Jing looked at each other, then gazed at the gloomy Gu Ye Feng, both of them smiling deeply.

  The country of Jade Castle, the autumn wind is bleak and desolate, rolling up the sand and stones on the vast land, the wind and sand fill the sky, the generals of the two countries still stand motionless in their original positions.

  Fu Zhuo and Yi Wu were deadlocked, still competing with each other.

  Li Su looked at him with some anxiety and said, "General, if we keep fighting like this, won't it be until nightfall?"

  Mo Han's face was cold and distant, "Don't worry about this for now."

  "Yes." Li Su replied in a low voice and continued watching.

  In the desert, Feng Ao Tian and Leng Qian Ye led a large team of people moving slowly forward. Finally, they saw a large oasis in the distance, more importantly, there was also a village. From afar, cattle and sheep were grazing by the lake, occasionally accompanied by the happy laughter of children. In the sky, an eagle soared overhead.

  Feng Ao Tian raised her eyes, looking at the flying eagle, and then lifted her hand, the eagle landed on her arm.

  "She smiled faintly and said, 'You're quite clever.'"

  The flying eagle seemed to have understood Feng Ao Tian's words and hurriedly used its eagle head to nuzzle her shoulder.

  "Your Majesty, are these villagers from Qidi?"

  "Not, I am a person from Feng Qiu country." Feng Ao Tian's eyes slightly dimmed, and he smiled lightly.

  Leng Qianye thought that being able to survive in this desert was no easy feat, and the village in front of him, located between Fengguo and Qiguo, seemed to have been living here for a hundred years.

  "Then did they welcome Feng Guo?" asked Leng Qianye with concern.

  "I am the new emperor of Feng Qiu country, they naturally welcome me." Feng Ao Tian continued.

  "I understand." Leng Qianye smiled as he looked at her.

  Feng Ao Tian turned his gaze, looking at him, "Let's go, take a good rest, and by the way, we'll be arriving at Han Yao's place soon."

  "Hmm." Leng Qianye responded in a low voice.

  When the two led a large group of people into the village, they were blocked by the villagers. The person in front was wearing the uniform left over from Feng Qiu Country and stared at Feng Ao Tian with a vigilant expression, "Who are you?"

  Feng Ao Tian took out a token from his bosom and said, "You still don't kneel down!"

  The people in front of them saw the token in Feng Ao Tian's hand, and they were shocked. They looked at each other, then quickly knelt down, "Greetings to Your Majesty!"

  Leng Qianye looked at the token in Feng Ao Tian's hand, which was indeed the golden token representing Feng Qiu country. He turned his gaze to look at Feng Ao Tian, and only then did he understand that everything had been within her calculations all along. She had known long ago that there was a village here, and she also knew that the villagers living inside were citizens of Feng Qiu country.

  "Older brother!" Just then, a clear and crisp voice rang out, dispelling the air of majesty before him.

  Feng Ao Tian followed the sound and saw a woman wearing brocade clothes walking slowly towards her.

  "Imperial sister, it's been a long time." Feng Ao Tian said in a low voice after getting a clear look at the woman in front of him.

  The woman in front of him was none other than Feng Qianying, who had left the imperial palace that day. She walked up to him with a gentle smile and stood before Feng Ao Tian, bowing her head in greeting. "Qianying pays respects to Your Imperial Majesty!"

  "Feng Ao Tian looked at her, 'Imperial sister, I did not expect that you would come to this place to seek seclusion.'"

  "Feng Qian Ning smiled and said, 'Yes, at first I just wanted to find a place isolated from the world, but by chance, I ended up here.'"

  "This place can be considered a paradise on earth, free from worldly disputes." Feng Ao Tian nodded slightly and then looked at the people of Feng Qiu Guo who were kneeling on the ground, "All of you may rise."

  "Thank you, Your Majesty!" The villagers hastily stood up and immediately cleared a wide path. Feng Ao Tian held Cold Qian Ye's hand and led the group into the village.

  "Imperial sister, how have you been since leaving the palace?" Feng Ao Tian thought back to when Feng Qian Ying insisted on leaving the imperial palace, and she also had martial arts skills. He wondered what secrets she might be hiding. Unexpectedly, he ran into her here; could it be that there was no coincidence in this?

  Feng Qian Ning followed Feng Ao Tian as he walked forward, "Imperial Brother, why have you come to this place?"

  "I will go to the country of Qi." Feng Ao Tian said frankly.

  Feng Qian's eyes sparkled slightly as she continued, "Head east and keep going forward for about two hours, and you'll reach the border of the Qi State."

  "Hmm, however, I am a bit tired now and want to rest here for a while." Feng Ao Tian said to Feng Qian Ning.

  "Then let's go rest at the imperial sister's place." Feng Qian Ning hastily welcomed.

  Feng Ao Tian nodded slightly, "Alright."

  She held Cold Qianye's hand, following Feng Qianying to where she lived. It was just a simple earthen house with a few cacti in the yard. She walked slowly forward and entered the house, which was decorated quite tastefully inside.

  At this moment, Xuan Yuan Yu, who had been lying on his bed for three whole days, slowly woke up...

  Digression

  Dear friends, a specialty of Shaanxi Province... here's another one...
