Chapter 123 (1/2)
The street was deserted, the sound of the wheels of the carriage grinding against the bluestone of the road so clear.
The carriage shook slightly. It always made people feel drowsy in this quiet night.
But the people in the carriage were preoccupied. She sat in the carriage with her hand on her forehead, her eyes full of worry.
She kept thinking about two things … Firstly, why did the master Shang Shu specifically ask about her husband?
A few years ago, her husband was seriously injured in the city, and since then she has been trying to find a way to save him.
If she hadn't never given up, the city might have died a long time ago.
After all, even the best doctors of the world had come to such an injury, so there was no way to find all the necessary medicines.
Her husband had been in a coma for several years, and the military had never asked about him.
Furthermore, the people from the Weaponry Department had always avoided mentioning that matter. No one was willing to bring it up.
Today, when his lords.h.i.+p asked, he said that the empress dowager might have taken action. Why?
Zhuang Feifei thought about Chen Zaiyan's words and felt that Chen Zaiyan had nothing else to say.
He really needed to get his husband out of the capital as soon as possible, but where?
Da Xi?
In the entire world, only the people of Yan Kingdom didn't dare to act imprudently towards Da Xi, right?
The second thing is about the struggle for peace.
To be honest, Zhuang Fei Fei did not know what she thought of the conflict.
She knew that she owed him a debt of grat.i.tude, but she had always paid for it.
It could even be said that she had returned quite a bit in return for peace and security.
Yet, she was willing to treat An Chao as a friend … She couldn't even be called a friend, she was more like a … younger brother?
The word 'little brother' popped into her mind, and her spirit shook.
What was he thinking? How could An Zaiyue be his younger brother? It was just that there was a kind feeling coming from that young man.
But the more she tried to deny her thoughts, the more she couldn't help but think.
Originally, she had a younger brother who was weak and sickly. At that time, her family was in a poor situation. Even though her parents had gone all out with her, in the end, they were unable to save her.
The younger brother was just like the one she had seen when she was living in the Illusory Realm. He was thin and looked a little weak, but his stubborn personality made one's heart ache for him.
The memories of her brother and the images of the conflict kept returning to her mind, making her more and more lost.
With a creak, the carriage came to a halt outside the main entrance of the sect.
””Mister, we're here.””
The driver was an old man who looked to be at least in his fifties, but he was in good spirits.
She wore a straw hat that revealed her gray hair.
His skin was very dark, the color of the skin of people who often bask in the sun.
He had a goatee, and looked like a kindly old man.
””Thank you, Master Gui, you can go back first.””
Zhuang Feifei said this before walking to the door.
The old man asked, ””You really don't need me to stay?””
Zhuang Feifei shook her head, ””The Heavenly Enlightenment Sect is our friend, An Zeng is my friend. Nothing will happen to me here.””
The old man who was addressed as ””Return Grandpa”” nodded. ””Alright, I'll head back first. If there's something you need help with, just send a signal and I will rush over.””
Zhuang Feifei said, ””Go back and rest. The meeting city hasn't woken up for all these years, and both you and Elder Zhang will be controlling the inside and outside of the gathering yard. Without you, I wouldn't have been able to hold on for so long.””
Gui grandpa sighed and said, ””We don't have to work hard. Mister, it's not easy.””
Zhuang Feifei nodded, ””Thank you.””
Gui grandpa shook his head, got into the carriage and left.
He did not go far. He turned around and stopped under a large willow tree. He closed his eyes and leaned against the carriage to rest.
He looked like he was asleep, but within a kilometer radius, not a single ripple of his cultivation level could hide it from him.
Zhuang Fei Fei lightly knocked on the door. After a moment, the door creaked open. Old Huo stuck his head out and looked. He was a little surprised, ””Mister, why are you here so early?””
It was not long since dawn, and the east was already beginning to pale.
Zhuang Feifei smiled, ””There are some urgent matters that I wish to meet with your Sovereign, please let me know.””
Old Huo opened the door and said, ””Come in quickly, the dew is heavy outside.””
He closed the door and led the way into the yard.
The men who had woken up earlier were already standing on the training field. Their faces were solemn, and they seemed to be filled with a kind of depressing sadness.
Zhuang Feifei was intrigued. She had always felt that this person was unusual, even the people around him were unusual.
She was still wearing her man's clothes, so the men on the training field didn't care.
Further in, a few guys in shorts were bathing in the cold water that had just been pumped out of the well. Under the dim light of the torches, they all looked extremely majestic.
On a nearby shelf were some white clothes that they must have found a place to buy overnight. After a while, they would change into them.
They were the ones who were going to carry the coffin, so they woke up early to take a bath and change their clothes.
When Old Huo led Zhuang Fei to the gate, the door was pushed open from the inside. An Chou walked out with a tired look on his face, ””Come in and have a seat, Master Huo. I'll have to trouble you to send some breakfast over.””
Old Huo nodded, ””I'll go right away.””
Zhuang Feifei entered through the door. This was the first time she had entered An Zhe's room.
After entering the room, she took a closer look and discovered that the furnis.h.i.+ng was extremely simple.
There were no ornaments except what was necessary.
Zhuang Feifei sat down and said with a smile, ””This does not look like the house of an appraiser. The people I know of are all extremely valuable treasures.””
In this house, the most valuable thing is the chair with the fragrant rosewood, it has been repaired. ””
An Zhan forced a smile and said, ””You're still in the mood to joke around.””
Zhuang Feifei raised her pretty eyebrows, ””It's not like I caused trouble, and I didn't kill anyone. How can I not be in the mood to joke around?””
But about your friend's matter … Don't be too sad, a dead person can't come back to life, you want to open up a little.
In any case, you have avenged him. ””
