Chapter 44: The Return

Seeing that Qingming is approaching, the weather is gradually getting warmer.

"Drive, drive, drive."

On the official road leading to Qingzhou City, more than a dozen horses galloped from a distance, raising dust all the way.

The woman who straddles the horse at the head has a peerless face that is enough to intoxicate tens of thousands of people. Behind her, a bright red gold silk cloak fluttered in the wind, adding a bit of heroism to her.

*

"Pavilion master, there are probably a hundred miles left, which is Qingzhou City."

"We'll be there before sunset."

Beside her, Cherry was dressed in a black power suit, driving a horse and following closely.

"Hmm."

"It's been ten years, and I'm finally back."

"Father, mother."

"Forgive Wanwan for being unfilial, and I can't come back to worship you until today."

The closer she got to Qingzhou, the more uncomfortable she felt in her heart. For ten years, she never came back. At this moment, there is a little expectation, and there is a little sadness.

Qingzhou, this is where she herself was born.

Qingzhou is also the place where her parents are buried.

"Cherry, how about you and me have a try?"

"Let's see who can rush to Qingzhou City first?"

She threw away some of the sadness in her heart, and the smile on her face immediately bloomed, and she turned her head slightly, and said defiantly to her.

"Cherry is happy to accompany you."

Cherry heard the gentle words and immediately nodded in agreement. She tugged on the leash in her hand, indicating that she was ready.

"Fengling Female Army, I guess I won't be left behind easily?"

Wanwan turned around and asked the ten people who were slightly behind her.

On top of the ten horses, all of them were dressed in black, with brown leather armor in several places. On their chests, a phoenix-shaped mark was particularly dazzling.

"Marshal."

"We will not be left behind."

"Sisters, do you have faith?"

She was the captain of the team this time, and she acted as Wanwan's personal guard on this trip, responsible for protecting her personal safety.

"Yes."

A group of women, expressionless on their faces. Hearing the captain's sudden question, they all shouted in unison, and their heroic spirit burst out in an instant. The Fengling Women's Army is not only very harsh in selection, but also very hard in training. After years of polishing, it can finally become an army, but there are only more than 900 people. This shows how terrifying the people who are left after all kinds of tribulations will be.

"It's almost time to arrive in Qingzhou City."

"After entering the city, you must remember to call me Miss."

"Don't forget."

"And Cherry, you too, remember to change your words."

Hearing this, Wanwan frowned and spoke.

When no one is around, it doesn't matter what you call her, but after entering the city, there are many people, and continuing to call her like this will cause endless trouble.

"Don't worry, the commander, I'll understand."

"I'll take it to heart."

The captain heard Wanwan's words and nodded slightly.

"Okay."

"Listen to me, prepare."

"Three."

"Two."

"One."

"Let's go."

"Drive."

As soon as the words were finished, the whip in Wanwan's hand fell quickly, and the horse neighed, and in an instant, it flew out, like an arrow off the string.

Behind her, Cherry and the Fengling Female Army were not to be outdone, competing to catch up.

*

Jinling City, Fengqi Pavilion.

On the top floor, in the graceful boudoir.

After spending the daytime tedious rite of passage, at this moment, she can be regarded as a real adult.

took off the luxurious and gorgeous costume, put on a beautiful and elegant nightdress, took off a book on the bookshelf and read it carefully by candlelight, which looked a little casual and a little lazy.

"Bang bang."

There was a knock at the door, and Wanwan put down the book in her hand and walked towards the door.

"Aunt Lian?"

Wanwan opened the door and saw Lianxin, who was dressed in black all the year round, standing at the door.

Wanwan was a little curious, it was so late, what was the matter with Aunt Lian coming?

"Aunt Lian has something to say to you."

Lianxin's face looked a little solemn.

"Hmm."

Hearing this, Wanwan nodded lightly, and took Lianxin's hand to welcome her to the boudoir.

"Aunt Lian."

"What the hell is going on?"

After competing to sit down, Wanwan couldn't wait to ask.

"Ten years ago......"

"I'm still with my lord, and I'm responsible for protecting him on behalf of the sisters."

"Until one day, the old man suddenly said to me."

"Dingguo Mansion, there will be a catastrophe."

"And instruct me to take you out of Qingzhou in advance."

"And I specially instructed that you can't be allowed to return to Qingzhou until you become an adult."

"Now that you have reached the age of sixteen, you have finally grown up. There is one thing that the lord has asked me to hand over to you. ”

Lotus heart bit by bit, told her. On top of her complexion, there was still some sadness.

"Aunt Lian."

"You just said that my father had already mentioned that he knew that he would be killed?"

"But why didn't he leave early?"

"I could have escaped, and my father must have been, but why would he?"

Wanwan heard Lianxin's words, and her face looked very excited. She couldn't understand why her father didn't want to escape, but was willing to die, since he had expected the catastrophe to come.

"I don't know why."

"At first, I also persuaded him."

"But the master seems to be unmoved."

"I always felt like he had other problems."

Lianxin shook her head slightly, looking very helpless. Over the years, she has also thought about this question repeatedly, but she is still confused.

Even if the real culprit behind the scenes is the Emperor of Great Qi.

With all the strength of the Fengqi Pavilion, although it is no match for the million-strong iron-blooded army of Daqi, it is still easy to cover the smooth escape of the old man's family.

But the old man didn't agree?

All this, like a mystery.

"I believe it."

"All doubts will come to light one day."

"Before you know it, it's been ten years."

"Hey."

Lianxin sighed softly, reached out and put a sandalwood box on the table, and then got up to leave Wanwan's boudoir.

After Lianxin left for a long time, Wanwan still couldn't come back to her senses.

According to Lianxin, I'm afraid things are definitely not that simple.

The real murderer who killed his parents really just lives above the temple?

At this moment, she overturned the doubts in her heart for many years, little by little.

"What's in the box?"

Wanwan looked at the rosewood box in front of her, but she didn't open it immediately.

Inside the box, will it be the answer?

In her heart, there was a little apprehension.

*

"Pavilion Master."

"Don't you really need to bring more people with you?"

Outside Jinling City, a group of sisters gathered in the long pavilion. Peony was still a little worried in her heart, so she asked.

"No, cherry with you."

"There is also a team of Fengling female soldiers with you."

"It's going to be fine."

"What's more, Wanwan is no longer what it used to be."

"A martial artist, I'm afraid it's not much worse than Aunt Peony."

Wanwan heard Peony's words and refused to speak.

"Still."

"Be careful on the road."

"This is your first time traveling."

"Hey."

"In my heart, I can't rest assured."

Although she knew that what Wanwan said was true, she was still very worried in her heart. Moreover, with a little reluctance.

"Aunt Peony."

"Wanwan has grown up."

"Peace of mind."

Wanwan said with a smile. She knew in her heart that Aunt Peony cared too much about her, so she was so worried.

"Don't let anyone know that you're alive."

"Remember, remember."

Lianxin was a little solemn, and finally said to her.

"Wanwan understands."

The matter of Qingzhou is not yet clear. If her existence is known, it will definitely provoke the people behind the scenes to kill people.

"Have a nice trip."

The sisters waved lightly and watched Wanwan gallop away.

*

The wide and quaint south gate came into view, and Wanwan sat on the horse, feeling a little emotional.

"Qingzhou."

"Wanwan is back."
