Chapter 20: An Ruoran Returns
, Compared to Chi Chao's situation in Xiguo, An Ruoran, who has returned to Gui, is also implementing her plan.
After Chi Chao left, there was no threat from the soldiers and horses of the Wasteland, and there was a trade treaty signed with the Wasteland, and all kinds of fine porcelain and tea flowed into the Wasteland for sale, which brought conditions for the economic prosperity of the Gui Kingdom.
For some reason, the people of the Wasteland are still obsessed with the tea of Guiguo, and even regard cooking tea as something that can only be enjoyed by a high-ranking person.
There are only four gates of Yongcheng, east, west, north and south, because of the tea trade, the merchants and people of the wasted country and the Gui country who enter the city every day are endless, and the city gate will be blocked from time to time, and the city guards who guard the city gate shouted for a while before evacuating the blocked traffic, but from the city gate, it is still a long queue.
On a high ground outside the city gate, An Ruoran stood, and she looked down on the city.
At her feet, there is an ant nest, outside the ant nest are busy worker ants, and the queen ant is sitting in the nest.
An Ruoran raised her foot and crushed the ant nest without saying anything, the worker ants outside the ant nest didn't know what this behemoth had done to their home, and it was still a diligent "work".
An Ruoran looked up at Yongcheng again and smiled.
"Yongcheng, long time no see."
After returning to Guiguo, An Ruoran had the lofty ambition of recovering Zigui Amber Mansion in his heart.
Now, she has the power, not the girl who was slaughtered before, and she will no longer be unable to keep her children because she has no strength; will no longer be changed from a wife to a concubine because of lack of strength; I will no longer watch my father judge himself in front of him because he has no strength, just to protect himself.
An Ruoran did not cut in line, but waited in the long line, from morning to evening before being able to approach the city gate.
Although the soldiers guarding the city gates were lazy, they were still wary of those who entered the city with weapons.
After receiving the letter from Tongcheng prepared by An Ruoran, the sergeant opened it and looked at it, and couldn't help frowning.
"Zigui An's family, the daughter of An Shi, if so······"
This reminded the sergeant of the incident that caused a storm in Yongcheng before, but he also thought that this woman was not a very strong cultivator, even if she was armed with a silver sword, she would not be able to kill that big man.
"Let's go inside." The sergeant waved his hand and put An Ruoran into the city.
The passage of the gate of Yongcheng is very long, so this section of the road into the city is very dark, and when An Ruoran appears under the light again, the originally hidden realm returns to the body.
In order to enter the city, she had to suppress the realm to the mastery level.
Once in the city, she didn't need to hide herself again.
Even if the Qi Machine was discovered by the Holy Master of the Sword Tower, what would happen? She is originally from Guiguo, so naturally she will not do anything to be sorry for Guiguo.
The lights began to be lit, illuminating the street that was still full of pedestrians, An Ruoran held a silver sword and walked among the crowd on the street of Yongcheng, Guiguo.
Each place gave her a familiar feeling that made her cry uncontrollably.
The most painful thing in life is that when he returns to the same place, there are no more people waiting for him.
The once huge Zigui Amber Mansion is now very few that can still remain in Yongcheng, many people have been sent to the margins, and many more have died in the great change five years ago.
Wiping away tears, one always has to look forward.
An Ruoran stopped thinking about the past and prepared to leave to take a look at his original home.
Suddenly, An Ruoran smelled the smell of wine coming to her, it was the noble son of a famous family in Guiguo who had just finished drinking flower wine in the Qinglou and walked home while he was happy.
This group of noble sons walked at night and met An Ruoran, who was recalling the past and was sad, and the tearful An Ruoran made these noble sons' interest burst, and they were already thinking about the appearance of this woman lying in their arms.
One person starts, and soon someone follows suit.
These noble sons formed a circle, preventing their chosen prey from escaping easily, and their eyes looked at the girl in purple clothes like a hungry wolf, which made people feel excited at first sight.
After being surrounded by these noble sons, the smell of wine came from all directions, An Ruoran covered her nose and made a disgusted appearance, which made this group of noble sons feel very unhappy.
"What? The little lady is out alone? Isn't it lonely? Come out and find a man to love yourself?" Among the noble sons, Yin, a lewd-looking person, said with a smile.
"Get out! If you want to find a woman, go to the Qinglou to find it!" An Ruoran cursed.
"Dare to scold us! Do you know who we are? Do you know that you can't afford to mess with us?"
"Before I'm angry, it's too late for you to leave." An Ruoran didn't want to say anything more to these drunks, as long as they didn't cross that line, they would naturally be fine.
The eyes of several noble sons exchanged a few times, this is their code, they don't know how many times they have used this method to pull those eye-catching civilian girls into the dark alleys on the streets of Yongcheng and commit violence one by one, as long as they don't make trouble, what they lose is just a compensation that can't hurt their economic pillars.
They don't do this for the pleasure of the royal maiden; Instead, I tasted all the famous prostitutes who took the initiative to give their arms to the Qinglou and were at your mercy in bed, seeking the excitement of breaking the law on the street.
One person quickly struck out to snatch the silver sword from An Ruoran's hand, the other pair of people with muscular arms like oxen stretched out their hands to restrain An Ruoran's hands, and another person prepared a cloth bag on his body so that they could trap the head of the victim so that he would not know who was committing the violence······
What they didn't know was that these small actions were like children playing at home in An Ruoran's eyes, which had no effect on her, but instead angered An Ruoran.
If when he was in the wasteland, the set of exercises An Ruoran chose was [Desire to Grow Red Lotus in the Sea], maybe these noble sons would have nothing to do today, and they would have a heart of admiration for An Ruoran, because the pleasure of enjoying it is not the kind that ordinary women can bring to men, but fairies.
It's a pity that An Ruoran learned the [White Lotus Frozen Soul Sea] and cut off all her lusts.
These noble sons hit the muzzle of the gun.
"Master, we just like a strong woman like you!" One person suddenly shouted, and the remaining few people quickly moved.
"Alas!" An Ruoran sighed.
The unconsciousness of the ants may be one of the reasons why they are always picked up and crushed to death.
The silver sword was unsheathed in an instant, and then returned to the sheath again, during which there was a sound, which showed how fast An Ruoran took out the sword.
Look at the nobles who surrounded her, some had broken fingers, some lacked eyes, and some were stabbed to the root······
The noble prince screamed in the street, and everyone's attention was focused on them, but An Ruoran had already disappeared.
An Ruoran came to the south of Yongcheng, followed the streets she had walked before, and finally saw the willow tree that grew out of the hospital, which was planted by her father An Shi with her, but she didn't expect that no one took care of the fertilization for five years, but it grew stronger than the period when she cared for the fertilization.
Xu has experienced wind and rain to have such growth.
A few steps after seeing the willow tree, there was a stone street for two carriages to walk along, and for as long as she could remember, she had seen the road crowded with carriages of people who wanted to see her father.
Nowadays, there are no more cars and horses, and there are not even many pedestrians.
The stone lion that she had ridden in the past was now missing, and the other was only half of her body, and the stone on her head had long since disappeared.
A sad face appeared on An Ruoran's face back and forth, and her mood was very low now.
She walked to the gate of Zigui Amber's Mansion, stroked the big brass lock that had fallen off the paint, and muttered, "Don't panic, I'm back, I'll make you look new and return to your former glory."
didn't stay too long, and An Ruoran didn't even look back when she left. That's how she decisives, and in the days to come, she'll be even more resolute than she was just now.
Walking out of the street, An Ruoran sat down at a noodle stall, where his father, An Shi, used to buy a bowl of scallion oil every time he came home
The noodles were brought back to her after the evening class, although she didn't like the scallion oil noodles very much, but preferred the mushroom chicken shredded noodles, she more than once followed her father Anshi who looked at her eating noodles in front of her and said that she likes to eat mushroom chicken shredded noodles, so that the next time he goes home, he will bring back a bowl of mushroom chicken noodles, but Nexperia always forgets that it is a bowl of scallion oil noodles that he bought.
Every time I watched my father bring back a bowl of steaming noodles, but it was not my favorite noodle, An Ruoran said that she would not eat it, and she would not eat it if she was killed, but she still obediently ate the scallion oil noodles in front of her father.
Because An Ruoran knew that this was her father thinking about her mother.
For many years, the prime minister of his wife's early death did not marry again, although every time someone was enthusiastic about being a matchmaker for him, when he looked at the girl playing in the corner, he couldn't help but shake his head, and apologized and refused repeatedly.
Watching An Ruoran eat noodles, especially a bowl of scallion oil noodles, made An Shi feel that his wife was not dead.
Before he left the office, he was always reading late and his stomach was often rumbling with hunger, and his wife always showed up before he wanted to drink cold water to satisfy his hunger, bringing a bowl of steaming scallion oil noodles to fill his stomach.
After this happened, he prepared a small bowl on his desk, and when his wife brought a bowl of steaming scallion noodles, he did not enjoy it alone, but half of it.
The two sat at the small table on the side and ate noodles, Anshi looked at his wife opposite, eating noodles in small bites, each bite showed a satisfied expression, Anshi felt that the hardships of studying were worth it at that moment.
Later, he learned that the reason why he had a bowl of noodles to eat at night was that although it was the cheapest scallion oil noodles, his wife saved her own silver taels for dinner.
