After parting ways with Xuan Tianming, Feng Yu Heng traveled for another seven days before finally returning to the capital.
On the surface, the capital didn't seem to have changed much. The streets were still bustling with activity, and the commoners were still living a comfortable life. Peddlers shuttled back and forth on the streets, enthusiastically introducing their wares to the people. From time to time, a few quarrels could be heard, but they quickly calmed down. Both sides took a step back and reached a deal.
But this was only on the surface. In reality, anyone with a discerning eye could see the hidden waves surging. Wang Chuan said to Feng Yu Heng: "Young Miss, the city's defenses have been strengthened. It's even tighter than when we left." As she spoke, she pointed to a tea stall on the side of the street, "Young Miss, look. The four people sitting there drinking tea are not ordinary people at all. They are officials in disguise."
Feng Yu Heng looked over. The four people sitting in the tea stall also looked in her direction at this time. Then, they took the initiative to nod, acknowledging her identity.
Feng Yu Heng knew that the other party recognized her, so she returned the greeting. Although she didn't know what kind of power this was, since they took the initiative to nod and acknowledge her, they should be on her side.
"There are even shadow guards in the shadows!" Huang Quan also spoke up, "It should be the sixth prince's arrangement."
As they were talking, Feng Yu Heng's gaze was suddenly attracted to the entrance of an alley. Of course, it wasn't because the alley was attractive, but because there was a person standing at the entrance. It was a woman. Her clothes were ordinary and didn't seem to be expensive. She was dressed like a woman from an ordinary family. The woman's appearance was also very ordinary. She couldn't be considered good-looking, but she wasn't ugly either. She was the kind of person that would be difficult to find in a crowd. But her eyes revealed a kind of energy that made Feng Yu Heng's heart tremble. When Feng Yu Heng looked at her, her heart couldn't help but tremble.
She reined in her horse to stop and stared at that place. Her heart seemed to have stopped beating. It was as if she had returned to the night when Yu Qianyin was executed. She saw such a person on the city wall. With such a pair of eyes, the information revealed in those eyes made it difficult for her to breathe.
Who was she? Feng Yu Heng roared this question in her heart. She really wanted to know who that person was. Why did she feel so familiar even though she had never seen him before? How could such an ordinary person make her body resonate with him uncontrollably?
No one knew that when she saw that woman, her heart couldn't help but jump with joy. It was as if a child who had been lost for many years had returned to her hometown. She had a strong urge to jump into the house and into the arms of her parents.
Why was that?
"Quick! Capture that woman! " Finally, Feng Yu Heng came back to her senses. She immediately pointed at the alley and ordered Wang Chuan and Huang Quan, "Catch them! It's that woman, the one in blue, capture her! "
Wang Chuan and Huang Quan didn't understand what was going on, but their actions were extremely fast. As soon as Feng Yu Heng gave the order, the two immediately jumped off their horses and used qinggong to rush towards the alley.
Unfortunately, there seemed to be someone helping the woman. That person's actions were even faster than Wang Chuan and Huang Quan. He grabbed the woman and ran away. Soon, they disappeared without a trace.
Feng Yu Heng rode on her horse and saw clearly that the person who took the woman away was a man. Although his face was covered, she could still recognize that it was Bu Cong. Unfortunately, she couldn't catch up. She didn't expect Bu Cong's qinggong to be so good. Even Wang Chuan couldn't do anything about it. How could she, with her mediocre qinggong, be able to do anything about it?
Soon, Wang Chuan and Huang Quan returned. They helplessly said to her, "Miss, the other person's movements were too fast. We couldn't catch up. Please punish us."
She waved her hand, "Why should I punish you? Forget it. If you can't catch up, then so be it. Since they're already in Dashun, they'll show up sooner or later. Let's just wait! "
"Does Miss recognize that woman? Do you know who she is? "Huang Quan was puzzled and asked," This servant doesn't look familiar. "
Feng Yu Heng shook her head, "I don't know." Then, she didn't say anything else. Her expression also darkened.
She didn't know? Why did it seem like they'd known each other for a lifetime? She had a bold idea in her heart. Based on the instinctive reaction that the woman had every time she appeared, she could almost determine the woman's identity. Thinking about it again, she and her grandfather could be reborn. Why couldn't that person?
Thinking of this, she shuddered. If that person really did come back, then what should she do? Also, how did that person get together with Bu Cong? Bu Cong originally had suspicions about her identity. With that woman by his side, would he know more? Other than that, how many people knew this secret? Would that person keep their mouth shut, or would they spread the news? How should she guard against it?
Feng Yu Heng felt that her mind was in a mess. She was even thinking, if Xuan Tianming knew about this, how would he deal with it? Strictly speaking, she was a ghost, a ghost that borrowed another person's corpse to reincarnate. Would the ancient people be able to accept this fact?
In the Bu family's underground residence, Bu Cong directly grabbed Chunyu Ling and returned to the bedroom. Chunyu Ling was brought along by him using his qinggong all the way. Until now, she still had some lingering fear. When Bu Cong let go of her, she couldn't stand steadily and fell onto the bed.
After taking a few deep breaths, Chunyu Ling looked at Bu Cong. She opened her mouth but didn't know what to say. After mumbling for a long time, she finally said, "Thank you."
Bu Cong instead asked, "What are you thanking me for?"
"Thank … … Thank you for saving me in time. Otherwise, I would have exposed the target and been caught." Chunyu Ling adjusted her state and said to Bu Cong, "I just went out for a walk, I didn't think of causing trouble."
"I know." Bu Cong also sat down and looked at Chunyu Ling, acting as if he was chatting casually, "Ling 'er, do you know who the two people who were chasing you just now were? And who are the masters of those two people? "
Chunyu Ling clearly shuddered, then shook her head in a daze, "I don't know."
"You don't know?" Bu Cong smiled kindly, "Then let me tell you, one of those two people is called Wang Chuan and the other is called Huang Quan. They are the personal maids that Dashun's Ninth Prince gave to his fiancée Feng Yu Heng when he sent a large betrothal gift to the Feng family four years ago. Their martial arts are very high and they have contributed quite a lot by protecting Feng Yu Heng these few years. Oh right, the woman who was riding on the horse and giving orders to the two of them today is Feng Yu Heng, the former Second Young Miss of the Prime Minister's Mansion of Zuo. Do you know the former Prime Minister's Mansion of Zuo in Dashun? At that time, the Left Prime Minister was called Feng Jinyuan and was also Feng Yu Heng's father, but he was a father who was worse than a beast. He sent Feng Yu Heng and her mother to the mountains in the North-West without caring about their lives. But who knew that when he brought her back three years later, it was as though Feng Yu Heng had become a completely different person. She cleaned up the entire Feng manor from top to bottom until not a single hair remained. Feng Jin Yuan, the Feng matriarch, Chen shi, Feng Chen Yu, Feng Zi Hao, not a single one had not died under her schemes. A young girl dealt with so many people! Don't you think she's amazing? "
Chunyu Ling listened to these things and sank into her memories very quickly. Those memories regarding the Feng family in the past swept over and filled her mind, causing her to feel pain from the rush.
She shook her head forcefully, not willing to think about these and was even more unwilling to behave too strangely in front of Bu Cong. Therefore, she tried her best to force herself not to think about it anymore, and even provoked Bu Cong, "I heard that the decline of your Bu family was also caused by her?"
Bu Cong nodded, "You're right, Bu Cong had indeed offended Feng Yu Heng back then. Starting from Bu Ni Shang, then to that Imperial Concubine Gui in the palace, I offended that Feng Yu Heng thoroughly step by step. Therefore, the Bu family did not have a good ending. Look, Feng Yu Heng is just this amazing, you being able to escape from under her hands today is really a fortunate thing. "
Chunyu Ling frowned, saying: "I was able to escape because Husband arrived in time, this means that Husband's martial arts are still better than them."
"That's only better than those two girls." As Bu Cong said this, he recalled the interaction he had with Feng Yu Heng on the horse path in the palace back then. Thinking about it again after a few years, his heart still palpitated at Feng Yu Heng's beautiful martial arts. "If I were to go against Feng Yu Heng, it would really be hard to say who is better!" He had to admit this matter. "A girl transformed into this in just three years in the north-west, don't you think that it's very strange? When Feng Yu Heng returned to the capital, she became a little unlike her. "
Bu Cong did not expect Chunyu Ling to reply to this, he only carefully observed Chunyu Ling's reaction, then recalled how Feng Yu Heng reacted when she discovered Chunyu Ling. After that, he was even more certain about that bold guess he made previously.
Over at the capital, Feng Yu Heng's formation was a little chaotic because of Chunyu Ling's appearance, and at the eastern border, Xuan Tianhua's army was currently walking in a long canyon. As long as they passed through this canyon, they would be able to bypass Fu Zhou, directly arriving outside Zong Sui's number one city, Bin City.
But this path was unfamiliar to Qian Li, he had also come to the eastern border a few times in his early years, but he had never walked on this path. Moreover, he could not understand why they did not go to Fu Zhou first? Why did they have to take a detour from the original path? He asked Xuan Tianhua: "Your Highness the Seventh Prince is intentionally shaking off His Ninth Highness, right? We have walked on this path, anyone with a discerning eye can see that we did not walk on all the paths that we should have walked, and we have walked on all the paths that we should not have walked, and this path is too unfamiliar, This Subordinate has poor eyes and has never seen it before. Can Your Highness the Seventh Prince tell This Subordinate the truth, why are you doing this? "It was not that he suspected Xuan Tianhua, but it was really too strange. These few days, the soldiers in the army were also very puzzled about this, some people had asked him a few times in private, but he could not answer.
Xuan Tianhua knew that this question would definitely be asked, and now that they were here, he did not hide anything, telling Qian Li the truth: "It is indeed because I want to shake off His Ninth Highness. Why? Isn't it good to follow I to attack Zong Sui? Do you feel that I's way of leading troops is not as good as His Ninth Highness, or do you feel that I's prestige is not enough to intimidate the three armies? "
"No, no, no, This Subordinate definitely does not mean that." Qian Li waved his hands repeatedly, "His Ninth Highness has already instructed that no matter when, you and Royal Consort Yu can lead us brothers, and we will listen to you. It's just that everyone is curious, why do you have to shake off His Ninth Highness? "
"Didn't I tell you before, in order to let him and Royal Consort Yu have more good days." Xuan Tianhua said calmly, "Once Ming goes onto the battlefield, won't the couple be separated again?"
"But …" Qian Li still felt that something was wrong, this reason was too far-fetched. As a man, he could not disregard his country and the world because of his personal feelings! His Ninth Highness and Royal Consort Yu were not that kind of people.
Xuan Tianhua looked at him, a bitter smile appearing on his face, "Forget it." He waved his hands, "If you don't tell the truth, you will always have a knot in your heart. Then I will tell you, with the secrets of heaven, this time's attack on Zong Sui is a battle with nine deaths and one life, the death situation is greater than the life situation, whoever is the general will die! Therefore, I will die in place of Ming! "
