Chapter 58: Don't Keep Me Waiting

Gai Liniang has achieved the Taoist Yuan Shen, and her flight speed is not what it used to be, and it took less than a stick of incense for her to travel from Miaojiang to Luoyang.

During this period, she also found a city along the way and inquired about the general situation today.

From the inquiry, Gai Liniang also knew that she had been trapped in the ruins for fourteen years.

Thinking that fourteen years had passed, Gai Liniang's face became a little ugly, and she was even a little afraid of seeing Zhou Cheng in Luoyang.

However, the expectation in her heart still made her resolutely come to Luoyang, the name of Zhou is very easy to inquire, Gai Liniang is hidden outside the Zhou Mansion, first of all, Shen Nian swept the entire mansion, to her disappointment, Zhou Cheng was not found in the mansion.

"Maybe it's out, just wait here, maybe you can surprise him!" thought to Gai Liniang, and her figure continued to hide.

Originally, her family had a secret method that was good at concealment, and with her advanced Taoism, now she has cultivated into a primordial god, once she is hidden, even Taiyi Xuan Immortal will find it difficult to find her.

Gai Liniang waited for most of the day, until the bright moon hung high, and Zhou Cheng had not yet appeared.

"Maybe there's something, come back tomorrow. Gai Liniang didn't see Zhou Cheng return for a long time, and the lights in Zhou's mansion had been extinguished, and the whole Luoyang gradually fell asleep.

Just when Gai Liniang was about to leave and come back tomorrow, she suddenly felt that there was a sword light flying towards her in the sky, although it was still far away, but Gai Liniang's face had gradually shown a smile, and she was very familiar with the breath of this sword light, which was the unique breath of Zhou Cheng Qingping's sword.

The sword light appeared in the sky above the Zhou Mansion, and then slowly fell, and Gai Liniang stood on the roof in the distance, condescending to take in the Zhou Mansion. When she was about to jump down to see Zhou Cheng, her steps were slammed, and the smile on her face instantly froze.

It's not because of the mask on Zhou Cheng's face, even with a mask, Gai Liniang can be sure that this is Zhou Cheng.

It's just that the sword light is gone, Zhou Lan is still holding Zhou Cheng from behind, and the two have fallen to the ground, but Zhou Lan has not let go of his hand for a long time.

Gai Liniang saw this scene clearly, and couldn't help but get nervous in her heart, with a woman's intuition, Gai Liniang could be sure that Zhou Lan was holding Zhou Cheng, and her face and eyes were full of love between men and women.

"If I can't come back in ten years... Ten years is enough for Brother Zhou to forget me, right?" Gai Liniang couldn't help but think of the words before parting on Qiantang Lake.

"It seems that he has really forgotten ....." Gai Liniang didn't know Zhou Lan's identity, she only felt very uncomfortable in her heart at the moment, and subconsciously thought that Zhou Cheng had a new love.

Maybe it can't be called a new love, because Gai Liniang doesn't know herself, is she Zhou Cheng's old love?

Gai Liniang felt endless loss in her heart, so she stood on the roof at a loss, looking at Zhou Lan not far from her feet and hugging Zhou Cheng tightly.

In the end, she was still unwilling, and released her divine thoughts to extend towards the place where Zhou Cheng stood.

"Lan'er, I'm home. Zhou Cheng's voice was soft.

"Let me hug you for a while, I just want to hold you like this all the time!" Zhou Lan's voice was very small, but it clearly fell on Gai Liniang's ears.

This sentence sounded to Gai Liniang, there was no doubt that it was a naked love story, Gai Liniang retracted her thoughts, she didn't need to listen to it anymore, and even she didn't have the courage to continue eavesdropping.

When Gai Liniang retracted her thoughts, Zhou Cheng just turned to look at Zhou Lan and said, "It's not too early, uncle will send you back to the house." ”

Zhou Cheng's words Gai Liniang couldn't hear it anymore, but Zhou Cheng's eyes were as doting on Zhou Lan as always, which made Gai Liniang see it clearly.

"Uncle will take me back to Guanghan tomorrow, I haven't been back for a long time, I want to go and see if the little house that my uncle built for me is still there. Zhou Lan took Zhou Cheng's arm and rested her head on Zhou Cheng's shoulder, and the two of them walked towards the house with their backs to Gai Liniang.

There is a mountain in Guanghan County called Yuntai, when he was a child, Zhou Cheng often took Zhou Lan there to play, and later Zhou Cheng built a very small stone house with stone branches for Zhou Lan to rest.

I don't know why Zhou Lan suddenly remembered this?

Looking at the intimate backs of Zhou Cheng and Zhou Lan, Gai Liniang's mind was blank, she didn't know how she left Luoyang, she only remembered that her sword was flying indiscriminately, aimlessly, as if although the world was big, there was no place for her to stay.

In the end, Gai Liniang landed on a lake, and she stepped directly on the water, and there were ripples under her feet, but the person did not sink. After a long time, Gai Liniang looked at the familiar scenery around her, and the picture from fourteen years ago came to her mind again, and for some reason she also came to Qiantang Lake.

Gai Liniang didn't have the slightest hatred in her heart, only endless loss, she didn't blame Zhou Cheng, nor did she hate the woman who appeared next to Zhou Cheng.

She only blames creation for making people, why did that ancient ruin trap her for fourteen years?

Gai Liniang is already a powerhouse in the Yuan Shen Realm, and even obtained the inheritance of the great god Nuwa and has an immortal body, but she suddenly can't find the direction and meaning of life....

On the second day, Zhou Cheng was also unable to take Zhou Lan to Guanghan, because an earth-shattering event happened in Luoyang City.

Empress Jia Nanfeng secretly contacted Sima Wei, the king of Chu, and Sima Liang, the king of Runan, and asked the two feudal kings to directly bring a large army into Luoyang, wanting to take the opportunity to get rid of Yang Jun.

Yang Jun had always been afraid of the king of Chu, and when the army of the king of Chu entered Luoyang, Yang Jun did not take any measures, and then Jia Nanfeng forged an edict and ordered Sima Wei to besiege Yang Jun's mansion on the grounds that Yang Jun was plotting rebellion.

An extremely clumsy and flawed power struggle was easily succeeded without any waves.

Yang Jun was executed, the three clans were razed, and the Empress Dowager Yang Zhi was demoted to a concubine and imprisoned in Jinyong City outside Luoyang, and since then the Yang family has withdrawn from the political stage of the Western Jin Dynasty.

However, after Yang Jun was killed, Sima Wei, the king of Chu who contributed the most, did not get the right, but Sima Liang, the king of Runan, took charge of the government.

The uneven distribution of power made the three forces of the King of Chu, the King of Runan, and the Empress Jia intrigued.

Soon Empress Jia repeated his old tricks, and in the name of Emperor Sima Zhen, he asked the king of Chu to kill the king of Runan.

And the day after Sima Liang, the king of Runan, was killed, Empress Jia issued an edict in the name of the emperor, saying that Sima Wei, the king of Chu, was Sima Liang, the king of Runan, who was killed by forging an edict.

The king of Chu, who was complacent, was inexplicably executed in this way.

In just a few months, several powerful ministers and two vassal kings with heavy armies died in this power struggle.

It can be said that these people were all played with by Jia Houjie and a woman.

The Yang clan was wiped out, the two major vassal kings were executed, and all the power of the court and government finally fell into the hands of Queen Jia Nanfeng.

Since then, Empress Jia has been in the court, and her brothers and nephews have been entrusted with important tasks.

Empress Jia is not a mediocre person, in order to smoothly grasp power, in addition to reusing her relatives, she also reused the famous Zhang Hua, as well as the children of the Langya Wang family, Hedong Pei family and other gate valve clans.

In this way, a turmoil was quickly quelled under the joint efforts of Empress Jia and several major clans, but the changes in Luoyang made the surrounding alien races smell an opportunity.

The Xiongnu in the north united with the Qiang people to rebel, and the entire northland region was full of smoke.

Later, the Di people of Yongqin and Qin also responded, supporting Qi Wannian, the leader of the Di people, as the emperor, attacking Jingyang, and the soldiers pointed directly at the land of Guanzhong.

In the past few months, the political situation in Luoyang has been turbulent, and Zhou Cheng has not gone out, and has been guarding the house. As for the plan to take Zhou Lan to Guanghan, it has been shelved.

And with the issuance of a holy decree from Empress Jia, Zhou Cheng estimated that he would not be able to take Zhou Lan to Guanghan in a short time.

Because of the rebellion of the Di people, Zhou was appointed as the general of Jianwei and went out to conquer the land of Yongqin, and the army went on an expedition, and Zhou Cheng naturally wanted to follow him.

In the backyard, Zhou Chu and Qiao Yuwei were alone in the room, and now Zhou Cheng is nearly fifty years old, and Qiao Yuwei is also over forty years old, and the two have begun to show a trace of twilight.

Qiao Yuwei was wearing armor for Zhou Chu, and the two of them said some ordinary words, but their daughter Zhou Lan did not come to say goodbye to Zhou Chu's father at this moment, but went to Zhou Cheng's small courtyard.

"Now that the world is restless, after your uncle and your father leave, you will stay in the house and don't go out if you have nothing to do. Zhou Cheng looked at Zhou Lan with some anxiety and combed the hair on her shoulder.

"Got it, I'm not a kid anymore..... Uncle, you also have to take care of yourself, come back early, and don't forget to take me to Guanghan to see the hut. Zhou Lan took Zhou Cheng's hand and shook it and said.

Although she tried her best to look like an adult, she still couldn't help but be coquettish to Zhou Cheng.

"Don't worry, when does my uncle lie to you, it will be three or five months soon, and I will definitely come back in a year. Zhou Cheng's voice sounded under the mask, and his eyes were full of doting.

Zhou Cheng gently patted the back of Zhou Lan's hand, then turned around and walked out.

"Uncle..... Wait a minute...."Zhou Cheng took a few steps, and Zhou Lan's voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"What else?" Zhou Cheng stopped and turned slightly to look at Zhou Lan.

"Uncle, can you let me see what you look like?" Zhou Lan had a look of hope on her face, she had never asked Zhou Cheng to take off her mask for so many years, and she didn't know why she suddenly wanted to take a look at Zhou Cheng's appearance again today.

"Hehe.... Of course. A chuckle came from under Zhou Cheng's mask, he wore a mask just to not cause unnecessary trouble outside, but he gradually got used to it, and there was nothing wrong with Zhou Lan wanting to see it.

I saw Zhou Cheng raise his palm and take off the mask directly.

Zhou Lan happily took a few steps forward, raised her head slightly, and carefully looked at Zhou Cheng's face.

"It's exactly what I remember..... Uncle, don't make me wait too long...."Zhou Lan said almost face to face, and said angrily.

Zhou Cheng looked at Zhou Lan and felt that this girl was a little weird, and when she felt a little confused, Zhou Lan stood on tiptoe violently and kissed Zhou Cheng on the face.

After a kiss, Zhou Lan ran away as if fleeing for her life, leaving Zhou Cheng standing in place with a stunned face.

When Zhou Lan had long since disappeared, Zhou Cheng's brows became tighter and tighter.
