The Su Clan rode without stopping, rushing back to Woniu Village while the news sent to Capital City by the Mingshui County Magistrate also made its way into the Imperial Palace.
Inside the Serene Snow Pavilion, Noble Lord took out a letter from the bamboo tube tied to a carrier pigeon’s leg and quickly skimmed through it with a sigh.
Such is destiny!
After a year and a half, Xuan’er returned to his beloved sister.
The fateful benefactor, hopefully this time, there will be no more mistakes.
Xuzhou City, Thousand -Mechanism Pavilion.
Luo Zhan held the letter, respectfully presenting it to the Pavilion Master.
The young man took the letter, read through it at a glance, and casually tossed it aside. His eyes, tainted with a touch of devilish charm, were as black as ink and emitted a strong murderous aura.
“Beiming Kingdom’s King Xia Yan sent the Black Wolf Guard to infiltrate
Fengqi and kidnap the Little Prince, with the true intention of blackmailing
Noble Lord and forcing him to obey.”
Luo Zhan’s eyelids trembled as he looked at his master’s chilling eyes, involuntarily shuddering and dutifully reporting with a stiff neck.
“Noble Lord is deeply favored by the Empress. By continuing to serve Xia Yan and cause chaos in the court, Fengqi Empire’s strength will gradually weaken. The neighboring countries will take advantage and recover. Within ten years, the situation in the Seven Kingdoms will change dramatically. At that time, if Nanqi, Beiqi, and Beiming kingdoms joined forces, Fengqi would be in imminent danger.”
“Xia Yan has wild ambitions and is no ordinary person.”
The young man’s eyes were dark and ruthless, “Nanqi is not to be worried about. The Little Emperor is too young, and the politics are controlled by treacherous officials. Chaos is inevitable sooner or later. As for Beiqi, Xia
Houchun is a talent. Send someone to keep an eye on him, and report any unusual movements immediately.”
“Yes.”
Luo Zhan received his orders respectfully. As he was leaving, he hesitated for a while and asked tentatively, “Master, should we secretly protect Qingluo now that Beiming’s Black Wolf Guard have failed in their mission and won’t give up easily?”
“No need!”
The young man’s dark and bottomless eyes said, “This is a good opportunity to probe her secrets. It’s inconceivable that a girl not yet seven years old could kill five Black Wolf Guards with her own power. It’s far too strange. Before we can uncover her true background, we should not reveal too much of our own strength.”
“Yes.”
Luo Zhan’s mind tensed. He dared not hesitate and respectfully bowed before turning to leave.
After he left, the young man opened the window and looked up at the star-studded night sky, lost in thought, his eyes unfathomably dark and deep.
Qingluo, what secrets do you hold?
Are you a celestial maiden reborn or a man-eating demon in human form?
During your time among humans, will you cause bloodshed or forge a golden age of peace?
Qingluo, grow up fast; I can hardly wait to know the answer.
After a year and a half of construction, the luxurious and magnificent royal residence finally welcomed its master.
Hundreds of royal guards dressed in black and silver armor, riding high-headed horses, escorted dozens of carriages carrying supplies into the royal residence with great ceremony.
The news spread like a refreshing breeze over the mountains, reaching the Weishui River’s shores and the nearby villages, where the villagers were all stirred up.
For the poverty-stricken commoners who had never left the mountain or met royal nobles, their meals were filled with talk of the events.
The topics were primarily the luxurious royal residence and the beautiful clothes worn by the palace maids and guards, as well as the high status and luxurious lives of the royal guests vacationing in the countryside.
The villagers of Woniu Village were also among the spectators. The men sat at the village entrance, smoking and chatting during their leisure time, while the women washed their clothes and dishes by the riverbank, all taking the opportunity to boast a few words..
