บท 39: Chapter 39
Chapter 39: Returning Home on a Snowy Night
Many things happened these days, such as the sudden death of Zongheng Sect's leader.
A few days ago, the leaders of all the major sects gathered together for a meeting. It was said that the leader of the Zongheng Sect disagreed with everyone else.
A few days later, he died.
Xuanmen and Zongheng Sect have always been hostile to each other. Many people speculate that it was Xuanmen who did it, but there is no real evidence.
After the Dao Test Conference, Li Mo, the most proud disciple of the Zongheng Sect, never recovered. After returning to the sect, he lost every time he played chess with others, and his own realm declined instead of improving. When he lost the 33rd game in a row, the sect master finally punished him to face the wall and reflect, and he could not leave until he realized the truth.
Although there are still many talented people among the younger generation of Zongheng Sect, they are ultimately unable to achieve success.
Everyone felt that the Zongheng Sect would be in a state of collapse for at least twenty years.
Soon another incident happened that was even more shocking.
That was the news from the border that the demon tribe had sent troops.
It is said that the demon tribe conquered cities and territories along the way, and was almost unstoppable, except for the Xialiang Kingdom, where they encountered many obstacles and could not take it down for a long time.
As for the news of the demon tribe attacking the city, there were various opinions in the government and the public.
Several generals naturally had to lead troops to resist, and the court suddenly felt much emptier.
Then the Third Prince Xuanyuan Lian led his troops to surround the Imperial City.
The Third Prince had been in power in the imperial court for many years. After the demon king came to the city that day, the Third Prince's crimes were exposed and many of his forces were disintegrated by the emperor. He himself also spent his days in prostitution and became decadent.
So everyone gradually forgot about him and thought he was just an insignificant waste.
Recently, he met with Ji Yitian in private.
A few days later, there was a commotion in the palace. For example, an official of the court suddenly resigned, a general left with a tiger talisman, and several concubines disappeared without a reason, taking away many items in the palace, including the blueprints of the underground tunnels in the palace.
Until the Third Prince's troops arrived at the gates of the city, everyone felt like they were dreaming.
That day, many people remembered the Suzakutai Incident recorded in history books. It was a battle caused by the princes fighting for the throne. Fear and anxiety spread throughout the imperial city. Even between the words in the history books, one could still smell the fishy smell.
But the bloody storm everyone expected did not come.
After Xuanyuan Lian's troops arrived at the imperial city, they only sent a message to the current emperor, and the content of the message was very simple.
"I'm sure Father can guess what the forces behind me are. Their purpose is simple, and mine is also simple. Father, can we talk?"
All officials were furious at Xuanyuan Lian's arrogance, and felt that the army led by Xuanyuan Lian was just a mob, many of whom had their own ideas and were not worth mentioning at all.
But the emperor actually agreed to have a talk with the third prince.
The soldiers gradually retreated.
The whole process did not even take a day.
This mutiny, which was all talk and no action, was like a farce.
But no one dared to relax easily, because they didn't know what the conditions proposed by the third prince were, and whether the emperor would really agree.
...
It is already the end of November and the weather is getting colder.
Lu Jiajing in Qingmu Palace was wearing a thin green dress and took a quick glance at the city gate, somewhat puzzled.
After two months of meditation, her practice went smoothly and she had returned to the peak of the ninth realm. She was just waiting to accumulate strength and then enter the realm of perfection.
Lin Xuanyan came back from outside and said with a smile: "It is said that the third prince has surrounded the imperial city."
Lu Jiajing shook her head: "It's hard to achieve anything great."
Lin Xuanyan smiled and said, "I don't think so."
Lu Jiajing asked: "Do you think he can take the throne?"
Lin Xuanyan shook his head: "Of course we can't take it. Outsiders don't know the two old monsters worshipped in the dynasty, but don't we know it? This time, the Third Prince's change should be arranged by Fu Yu. Fu Yu's purpose is very simple, just to show you my ability and negotiate with you. The Third Prince is just a messenger. So this turmoil may not even kill anyone, it's just a farce."
"In fact, this mutiny may have been staged by the father and son themselves." Lu Jiajing's focus was obviously not on this, "Those two old monsters are really lucky. I don't know why they don't go crazy after staying in that kind of place all day."
"The higher the realm, the more afraid of death. And most of the time, they are sleeping. When they are asleep, they naturally don't feel bored." Lin Xuanyan shook his head: "In fact, they are not to be feared. Their own luck has long been integrated into the royal family. Only in this imperial city can they exert the power of the sage realm. If they were moved to other places, even I can kill them now."
Lu Jiajing said: "Yes. But those two old turtles would never leave the city even if they died."
After thinking for a while, Lu Jiajing asked: "Why don't you go and pick up your two younger brothers and sisters?"
Lin Xuanyan said: "Qingmu Palace is safe for us, but not necessarily for them. I have written a letter to a friend of mine to take care of it secretly, so I believe nothing serious will happen."
He sighed, looked at Lu Jiajing and said, "Now that you are practicing in Qingmu Palace, you will naturally get twice the result with half the effort. You must enter the realm of transformation as soon as possible before Fuyu issues the Immortal Peace Order. Then we will leave the imperial city as soon as possible. If it's too late, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave."
Lu Jiajing asked: "Do you think the royal family will take action against us?"
Lin Xuanyan said: "It has been two months since we returned to Qingmu Palace. In these two months, everything has been normal. The royal family has not interfered at all. We have not even received an imperial edict or a letter. But the more this is the case, the more careful we must be, especially after this incident. Just because the royal family has no opinion on us does not mean that Fuyu has the same opinion."
Lu Jiajing said: "I don't know how your fiancée is doing."
Lin Xuanyan said: "She is certainly not doing well, but I don't dare to think too much about how bad it is."
In fact, Lin Xuanyan did not tell the truth. He had a very weak impression of Xia Qianzhen and could not even remember how the two met.
Five hundred years have passed, and the memories of Lu Jiajing and Pei Yuhan seem like yesterday, but for her, she is completely confused and cannot remember anything.
Lu Jiajing suddenly said: "It will take me about a month to enter the state of enlightenment."
Lin Xuanyan nodded and said coquettishly: "That's really fast. Jing'er is really a genius."
Lu Jiajing obviously didn't appreciate it, and said coldly: "If you want me to practice faster, then be more obedient."
Lin Xuanyan was puzzled and asked, "Why am I restless?"
Lu Jiajing said unhappily, "You and your beloved disciple should keep the noise down at night, it's very noisy."
Pei Yuhan happened to come out from behind the door, and when she heard these words as she stepped over the threshold, her steps paused.
Lin Xuanyan turned around and saw Pei Yuhan coming out of the house. Pei Yuhan was dressed in simple clothes, untainted by the past. At this moment, her pretty face was slightly shy and she blinked helplessly.
Lin Xuanyan smiled and said, "Yuhan, you're here? Just now Jing'er complained that our noise was too loud and disturbed her."
Pei Yuhan glared at him unhappily, thinking, it's not like I didn't hear it, what's the point of you saying it again on purpose?
Then Lin Xuanyan said to Lu Jiajing: "When I teach Yuhan martial arts from now on, I will speak softly. Sister Lu, please don't blame me."
Lu Jiajing rolled her eyes at him and snorted coldly.
Pei Yuhan walked behind Lu Jiajing, put her hands on her cliff-like beautiful shoulders, gently pounded them a few times, then slid her fingers gently to the back of her neck, and used five fingers to massage her.
Pei Yuhan's massage was naturally very comfortable, and even Lu Jiajing couldn't help but close her eyes and hum twice, but she still said coldly: "Don't think you can please me by massaging my shoulders."
Pei Yuhan leaned over to Lu Jiajing's cheek, gently rubbed her face, and then kissed her.
Lu Jiajing was not disgusted by this kind of intimate action, she just turned her face slightly and curled her lips in a somewhat arrogant manner.
Lu Jiajing poked her forehead and said with some dissatisfaction: "You little rascal, you act so well in front of others, calling me sister, but you bully me blatantly in private? Huh?"
Lin Xuanyan listened to this with a half-smile on his face.
Pei Yuhan said innocently: "How did I bully you?"
Lu Jiajing curled her lips and said nothing.
Pei Yuhan gathered her hair from behind, tangling it between her fingers. Lu Jiajing let her play with her hair as well. She leaned back in her chair and glanced at Lin Xuanyan.
"Please go out for a moment. I want to talk to Sister Yuhan alone."
Lin Xuanyan asked suspiciously, "Is there any private conversation that I cannot hear?"
Lu Jiajing asked: "If you don't go out, do you still want me to kick you out?"
After Lin Xuanyan left, Lu Jiajing sighed softly. She raised her head, and her dark blue hair flowed down through Pei Yuhan's fingers like a stream.
Lu Jiajing suddenly asked: "Yuhan, you and him spent so many nights together, is it true that nothing happened?"
She had asked him to be quieter just now, in fact, she was deliberately provoking him. In fact, he was unusually well-behaved every night. She had also asked Pei Yuhan privately, and Pei Yuhan's answer was also that he was unusually well-behaved.
Pei Yuhan's fingers softened and she said, "Master and I sleep together, well... just sleep together."
Lu Jiajing laughed angrily: "When did he start practicing Zen?"
Pei Yuhan asked weakly: "Is it that Master doesn't like me, or, um... Master actually likes you, so he can't bear to touch me?"
Lu Jiajing's heart trembled slightly, then he smiled and shook his head, "No, because he didn't do anything out of the ordinary when he came to see me these days."
Pei Yuhan thought about it, and her eyes lit up: "Could it be that he feels guilty about his fiancée?"
Lu Jiajing was also suspicious and asked, "How could that be? And what's wrong with a man having three wives and four concubines? At most he can just marry her and make her his concubine."
Lu Jiajing's voice became weaker and weaker, which made Pei Yuhan laugh. Pei Yuhan stretched out her hand and pinched her face, saying, "When did Sister Lu become so shameless? If she really dares to come and snatch people away again, we must unite against the enemy, understand?"
Lu Jiajing hummed abnormally, and Pei Yuhan reached out to hug her like a little girl: "Sister Lu is so beautiful, if you lose again, I will look down on you."
Lu Jiajing slapped her hand away and sneered, "How dare you? You have such a pretty face and sleep with your master every day, but you can't even seduce anyone?"
Pei Yuhan said discouragedly, and reached out with ill intentions: "If I had breasts like Sister Lu, I would probably seduce her."
Later, Lin Xuanyan was surprised to find that the two of them had ended up chatting in bed.
Behind the trees outside the window, Lin Xuanyan concealed all his aura and looked up, only to see two stunning beauties tearing each other's clothes on the bed. Lu Jiajing still had the arrogance of a paper tiger on her face, while Pei Yuhan smiled softly. It was unknown what the two were talking about, and after a while, they laughed.
Two beautiful women, almost completely naked, were entangled in a bed. This scene was unbearable for anyone who saw it.
Lin Xuanyan shook his head helplessly and sighed softly.
Two months had passed, and he knew they were wondering why he suddenly became like a saint.
He was helpless, because he was also enduring very hard.
Especially when he slept with Pei Yuhan every day, his mind could not help but recall the scene when he saw her that day when he came down the mountain. The stunning glimpse at that time and the erotic sight afterwards left an indelible mark in his heart.
Therefore, sleeping every day became the most difficult time for him. He hugged Pei Yuhan's soft body and looked into her clear eyes. Sometimes when she squinted her eyes, she looked naturally charming.
He also wanted to make love with Pei Yuhan every night, and then fall asleep with tiredness and satisfaction, which could be considered a happy ending after all the hard work.
But there was always a voice in his heart telling him that he couldn't do it now.
He was so aroused by the sight that he dared not look any further, fearing that he would lose control of himself.
When Lin Xuanyan left, Lu Jiajing and Pei Yuhan were still "entangled" in bed.
Lu Jiajing looked at her and smiled helplessly: "I'll beat you to death, you little slut, for wasting my sister's time for another day."
Pei Yuhan rested her head on her chest, smiling softly and contentedly: "One day less doesn't matter. Won't my sister be happy too?"
...
In a city further south, Yu Xiaotang propped up his chin and looked out the window at the gradually desolate dusk, and said with a slightly resentful look: "Master, when will you come to pick me up?"
...
In early winter, the first snow fell in the imperial city, followed by a vast expanse of snow.
Lu Jiajing picked a snowflake in Qingmu Palace and held it in her palm. The snowflake did not melt for a long time, and it seemed like a crystal butterfly hovering in her palm.
A beauty standing in the snow has been a wonderful sight since ancient times.
Lin Xuanyan watched this scene from afar and said softly, "Congratulations Jing'er for transforming emptiness into simplicity. The great way will soon be achieved."
Lu Jiajing shook her hands gently, and the snowflake actually flew up, following the white snow all over the sky, and dissipated in the cold snow.
Seeing Lin Xuanyan, she didn't keep a cold face. She smiled for the first time and said, "Not bad. I am only one step away from the state of enlightenment."
Lin Xuanyan smiled and said, "Isn't this line dispensable to you?"
Lu Jiajing didn't comment. She could have stepped over immediately, but she didn't because the snow wasn't heavy enough today.
Now the leaden clouds are gathering and accumulating thickly, and tomorrow will surely be a heavy snowfall.
Lu Jiajing reached out and picked up a piece of snow, holding it in her palm, like an immortal picking up a flower.
She looked at the snow between her fingers and said softly:
"The first time I entered the Transcendent Realm, I was young and arrogant, thinking that I could go higher and higher until I was invincible among my peers. Later, I encountered an accident and my bones were damaged. After practicing for a hundred years, I still couldn't reach the level of a Saint, and I became depressed. The second time I entered the Transcendent Realm, it was very difficult. I passed the Transcendent Realm with many bumps and bruises. It seemed that the ceiling of my practice could touch my head at any time. After I lost my obsession with practice, I could only find other things to kill time. This is the third time I entered the Transcendent Realm. Obviously, the road in front of me is smooth everywhere, but I don't have much feeling. After all, it is not easy to practice in this world, but falling is as easy as drinking water. Maybe it's best to have no expectations in my heart."
Lin Xuanyan said: "Things never happen more than three times. You will definitely go very far this time. I never thought that Tongsheng would become your barrier."
Lu Jiajing smiled and said, "Your situation is not much different from mine, and you still have the time to plan for my future?"
Lin Xuanyan countered: "After all, Sister Jing'er is so beautiful that she is bound to be targeted by demons from all directions. My cultivation has been rough, but I am relatively safe, and few female demons are targeting me."
Lu Jiajing turned around in the heavy snow, looked at him seriously, and said with a half-smile: "Who are you talking about as the female monster?"
Lin Xuanyan saw Lu Jiajing suddenly turn around in the snow. She was tall to begin with, so her thin waisted long skirt was blown up by the wind, fitting her body perfectly. Her charm seemed to carry a fierce murderous intent.
Lin Xuanyan subconsciously took two steps back, preparing to flee to Pei Yuhan's room for refuge.
Lu Jiajing snorted coldly and said, "Sister is in a good mood today, so I don't want to bother with you."
Lin Xuanyan breathed a sigh of relief and was about to speak when Lu Jiajing suddenly leaned over, picked up a pile of snow, quickly rolled it into a ball, and threw it at Lin Xuanyan quickly and fiercely.
This was Lu Jiajing's first attack into the realm of transformation. Even though Lin Xuanyan reacted very quickly and changed his body shape many times in an instant, he was still hit hard by the snowball in the end. The broken snow splashed through the collar into his clothes, and he felt a bone-chilling cold.
"Jing'er's cultivation has really...made great progress." Lin Xuanyan gritted his teeth and said.
He was about to make another sarcastic remark when he saw Lu Jiajing waving his fist at him proudly and leaning forward to pick up another snowball.
Lin Xuanyan did not linger any longer and turned around and ran towards the house.
Lu Jiajing stood at the foot of the stone steps, crushed the snow in her hands, looked at Lin Xuanyan's back, and smiled happily, like the warm sunshine in the snow.
She jumped twice on the snow that had not yet accumulated thickly, then stood on tiptoe, gently lifting the hem of her skirt and spinning in the snow.
Then the hem of the dress began to turn, swaying like waves.
This is the 1450th year of the Xuanyuan calendar. The center of the dynasty has not yet been painted by fireworks. The war reports from afar are mixed with joy and sorrow. When the children see the snow, they begin to look forward to the New Year.
The bells outside the temple rang, and pilgrims poured in, with smoke rising from the sky, praying for a long and prosperous country.
Lin Xuanyan opened the window of the second-floor attic and looked out. The streets were deserted, the river was white, and the trees were lined with silver flowers and snow.
Icicles hung from the black eaves, and the sky and earth were filled with white snow, like shattered white clouds.
In the whirling scenery, only she has long dark blue hair.
Evergreen.
...
Zhao Nian sat on a wooden chair set up on the street and ate a bowl of noodles when snow suddenly began to fall from the sky.
He looked at the falling snowflakes with a melancholy look.
A thin-faced girl sat opposite him, squinting her eyes and smiling: "You are thinking about someone, right?"
Zhao Nian was slightly surprised: "You know this again?"
The little girl named Taozi held an empty cup and pressed it against her palm, then said with a smile, "I have traveled a lot and seen so many people, of course I can tell."
Zhao Nian asked: "Why do you always hold an empty cup?"
Taozi said mysteriously, "This is something a sister gave me when I left my previous place. Look, this cup is empty, but it feels heavy."
Zhao Nian carefully took the cup and placed it in his palm, and it did feel heavy.
He was also a little confused and asked with a smile: "What's the name of that sister?"
Taozi said: "I don't know, I only know her last name is Ji."
"Ji?" Zhao Nian was slightly surprised: "Could it be the woman from Yin Yang Pavilion?"
Taozi said: "I asked her, and she said no. It's possible that she was lying to me, but this is a gift from her anyway."
Zhao Nian nodded and said, "Aren't you afraid that she is teasing you?"
Taozi asked, "What does that matter?"
Suddenly, Taozi's hand holding the cup froze. There was a commotion in the distance, a thunderous sound coming through the wind and snow. Zhao Nian heard the sound of horse hooves hitting the ground. It turned out to be a dark mass of cavalry.
An extremely ominous premonition surged into Zhao Nian's heart. He turned his head to look at Taozi. Just as he was about to speak, he found that Taozi was staring at him with wide eyes, looking terrified. With a snap, the cup in her hand fell on the table, leaving only an empty cup without the heavy weight.
Before Zhao Nian could speak, Taozi came back to her senses, took a look inside the room, and said to Zhao Nian in a hurried voice: "These people... these people should be here to find me. Go away!"
Zhao Nian was puzzled. How could a little girl like you who sells dough make them so upset?
Taozi said quickly: "My real name is Tao Shan, and my father's name is Tao Mingtang, the Tao Mingtang of the Tang-Huang Rebellion!"
Tang Huang Rebellion? Zhao Nian just felt that it sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember the outline for a moment.
But Taozi was helplessly pulling at her sleeves, trying to pull her away.
The sound of horse hooves was already close to my ears, and the leader was reining in his horse several feet away. He had a handsome face, was wearing black armor, and had an iron spear behind him.
He looked over coldly.
The little girl, whose real name was Tao Shan, had already felt weak on her legs and was having trouble standing. She had seen similar scenes countless times in her dreams and was covered in cold sweat when she woke up.
Now that this scene was really before her, she even felt like she was going to faint at any moment.
But then she heard the leading general narrow his eyes and slowly said, "Are you Zhao Nian?"
The young man standing in front of her nodded, his expression equally gloomy.
The general raised his hand and waved it gently, and the soldiers on both sides had already drawn their weapons and pointed their guns at Zhao Nian.
Zhao Nian didn't have time to ponder the situation. He took a step forward, his lips slightly moved, and he said in a voice that only Tao Shan could hear: "Go find my senior sister and tell her to run away!"
...
It was already night when Tao Shan fled in the chaos. She didn't dare to rest for a moment and headed straight for the gate of the Ye family.
But when she ran to the gate of the Ye family, she found that the gate was closed and many guards were standing in front of the gate with serious expressions.
At that time, dark clouds covered the city, snow fell from the sky, and a strong sense of uneasiness loomed in my heart.
Tao Shan vaguely felt that something had happened to Zhao Nian's junior sister.
She couldn't get into the Ye family's gate, so she quietly walked around the Ye family's house, looking as if no one was around, but her eyes secretly glanced at the many checkpoints of the Ye family, trying to observe the situation there.
The dense forests behind the Ye family's mansion were winding, and a cold wind blew past. Tao Shan could faintly smell a hint of blood.
Then a hand patted her shoulder.
It was a dark night, and Tao Shan's shoulder was suddenly touched. He shuddered and felt as if something exploded on his scalp, which was terrifying.
She turned back suddenly, stared with wide eyes for a while, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
I saw a pretty and pale girl standing behind me, her aqua green dress was stained with blood.
The girl looked at him seriously, her breath weak, "Did something happen to Zhao Nian?"
The usually kind girl now looked fierce, and Tao Shan was startled. After a moment's pause, she nodded timidly.
Yu Xiaotang pursed her lips and said nothing. After a moment, she took Tao Shan's arm and said, "Let's go."
Two months ago, she received a letter from her master, saying that he would come to pick her up tomorrow according to the date on the letter.
And today, the Ye family took action against me.
Zhong Hua had previously written a letter, telling himself that the Ye family might have second thoughts and would sell him out for profit.
Although she didn't like Zhong Hua very much, she was also wary of the Ye family. After that day, she secretly opened up a sword path that ordinary people could not discover.
Today, she was able to escape the encirclement of the Ye family by relying on this sword art.
She thought about why the Ye family chose to take action today. It could be a coincidence, or it could be that the letter her master wrote to her was once stolen and read by the Ye family, and then passed to her.
But none of this mattered at the moment. She took a deep breath, looked at the girl beside her, and asked, "Do you know where there is no one surrounded by soldiers?"
Tao Shan thought for a moment and said, "When I came, the streets were full of soldiers. It seemed that Wutong Street in the southwest was fine because I heard that a nobleman lived there."
Wutong Street? Zhong Hua lived on Wutong Street.
Yu Xiaotang's face became even darker.
Tao Shan also felt the hand holding his arm tighten.
"It's probably too late to leave the city now. Let's go to Wutong Street." Yu Xiaotang paused: "I know someone there..."
...
In the middle of the night, Lin Xuanyan suddenly got up.
Pei Yuhan asked: "What happened?"
Lin Xuanyan stood up, opened the window, and looked up at the sky. The sky was gloomy on the snowy night.
But he pointed to a certain place and said in a low voice: "Yuhan, look there."
Pei Yuhan stood up and looked up at the sky, his face changing from cloudy to bright.
"Someone came down from Fuyu Island?"
"It should be."
"Their negotiations were so fast?" Pei Yuhan was a little surprised.
Lin Xuanyan said: "I should have thought of this earlier. Now that it's snowing, the battle with the demons should be getting more and more difficult. Maybe tomorrow we can see the Immortal Peace Order reappear in the world."
Pei Yuhan frowned and asked, "Who could be the person coming down from the floating island?"
Lin Xuanyan said: "At least at the level of a great elder."
Pei Yuhan nodded: "I just hope it's not a certain chief."
"The leader will never come down to the mortal world easily. Since he has landed on the floating island, his own luck is connected with the floating island. If he comes down, it will definitely be damaged." Lin Xuanyan said in a deep voice: "Go and call Sister Lu. We will leave tonight. I'm afraid something will happen tomorrow."
Pei Yuhan said: "But Sister Lu is still a step away from reaching the state of enlightenment. If she leaves Qingmu Palace today, I'm afraid it will cause hidden dangers to her cultivation in the future."
She couldn't help but feel a little guilty. If she hadn't delayed her practice, she could have left today.
Lin Xuanyan lowered his head in deep thought, biting his lip and said, "I can't care too much. My sword sense has produced a strong warning sign, even stronger than the one in the Northern Territory."
Pei Yuhan no longer hesitated and said yes.
At this moment, Lu Jiajing had already opened their door. She sighed softly, "I'm afraid we can't leave now."
"Why? Could it be..."
Lu Jiajing closed his eyes and nodded: "Just now, the formation of Qingmu Palace suddenly couldn't receive the opportunity from outside. The formation of the imperial palace should have been opened, and the three main halls were all covered by it. Those two old monsters actually attacked together."
Pei Yuhan thought for a moment and said, "I can try to break through the palace formation."
Lu Jiajing said: "But we only have one Tongsheng."
The formation formed by two saints naturally requires two saints to break it.
This is a very superficial truth.
"It should be the same as we guessed. Fuyu wants to kill all the Sword Sect. But this happened a month earlier than we expected." Lin Xuanyan couldn't help but worry about Yu Xiaotang and Zhao Nian. The royal family acted so quickly this time, obviously they had planned it in advance. I just hope they can turn the danger into safety.
Lu Jiajing said: "Now it seems that the Xuanyuan royal family has also planned this. Although they sent envoys to Fuyu to negotiate only three days ago, they should have set up a trap for us long ago. Perhaps the Third Prince's siege of the city was part of it."
Pei Yuhan said: "But they have trapped us here, what can we do?"
Now the three of them are at a very high level, even if the two old monsters attack here at the same time, they are confident that they can take advantage of the opportunity to break out of the formation.
On the contrary, they just defended the formation and did not move their troops, which was the most troublesome.
Lin Xuanyan said: "They probably just want to trap us and then attack Xiaotang and Zhao Nian first."
Pei Yuhan felt even more depressed. She felt guilty and self-blaming.
Lu Jiajing was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "Before meeting Dynasty, I also expected this worst-case scenario, so I made some preparations."
Lin Xuanyan asked: "What preparations?"
Lu Jiajing said: "I sent the sword-sealing letter to Lost Day City."
Lin Xuanyan said: "This may be the deciding factor. Thanks to Jing'er, we were too careless."
Lu Jiajing said: "But even so, the news of Xuanyuan clan sealing off the city may take many days to reach there, and it will take some time for a certain sister of the Nan family to cross the sea to come."
"That's the only way. I also asked an old friend of mine to protect them secretly, but I don't know if it will be too late."
Ordinary people in Chengjun City still don't know what happened tonight, and they can still come and go without any hindrance.
The wind is biting cold tonight and the snow is falling heavier.
Lin Xuanyan looked into the distance with a gloomy expression.
Lu Jiajing also stopped at the window and looked for a while. She looked at Lin Xuanyan, feeling somewhat puzzled, but she did not ask any questions.
The snow fell silently, and the three of them said nothing, just quietly staying together until the sun rose.
...
In Laojing City, a wine shop that had been closed for many years suddenly had its door opened on a snowy night.
A couple came in, and the man was holding a child.
The man took out a jar of wine that he had buried when he left, opened it, poured a bowl of wine into it, and then raised it to eye level, and then he poured the wine all over the ground.
The woman's eyes also turned red, tears welled up in her eyes. She whispered "Grandpa" in a low voice.
The man said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Xi'er, please accept my condolences..."
He never thought that after crossing the Yellow Springs and returning here from that ancient city, he would learn about the death of his father-in-law.
Although my father-in-law has health problems, his swordsmanship is so advanced, who can kill him?
The woman named Xi'er cried for a long time, wiped the tears from her face, and smiled with difficulty: "It's okay, birth, aging, sickness and death, no one is immortal. I know the truth. It's just that I couldn't see grandpa for the last time..."
The man asked: "Then do you want to go back to Fuxue Palace?"
"Of course I have to go back. Fuxue Palace must miss its owner." The woman stood up and took a sip of wine.
The wind and snow broke open the door and rushed in.
When the woman raised her head, her body became much smaller, looking like a girl of 17 or 18 years old.
The man was not surprised. He quietly looked at the woman who had regained her young appearance and smiled bitterly.
The child in his arms almost cried out when he saw this scene: "Mom..."
Not only did the woman become a young girl, but after removing the illusion, her appearance also changed drastically. Her face, which was only somewhat pretty, now looked like a Udumbara flower blooming in the snow, incomparable.
She reached out and touched the head of the child in the man's arms, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, An'er, your mother is still your mother."
An Er nodded in confusion.
The man whispered: "Xi'er..."
The woman also opened her arms, stretched her arms and waist, and walked to the door, still feeling the wind and snow hitting her face.
She looked disappointed.
And a long-silent lamp in the Fuxue Palace suddenly lit up.
An old woman who worked as a cleaner in the palace saw the scene and was stunned for a long time before she reacted.
He smiled and said, "Has the princess returned home too?"
