Nangong Yan and Bai Linglong successfully destroyed the drug trafficking dungeon, and returned to Lanzhou City in a mighty manner, escorted by secret guards and imperial guards, with the rescued children.

Along the way, although the children were in a miserable state, there was hope in their eyes. Bai Linglong and Nangong Yan rode on both sides of the team, always paying attention to the children's conditions and comforting them.

When they arrived at Lanzhou City, the people had already received the news and spontaneously gathered at the city gate to greet them.

The city gate slowly opened and the people rushed in, their cries and shouts intertwined.

A ragged woman recognized her child at a glance in the crowd. She rushed forward regardless of everything, hugged the child tightly, and burst into tears: "My son!

You're finally back. My heart is broken! ”

The child also clung to his mother's arms and cried loudly.

The people around, watching this scene, all had red eyes and many of them sobbed quietly.

Nangong Yan was surrounded by the people, who knelt down and kowtowed to thank him.

A white-haired old man, with trembling hands and tears streaming down his face, said: "Master, husband, you are a great benefactor to our whole family.

If it weren't for you, my poor grandson would never come back. We will never forget this kindness! ”

Nangong Yan quickly helped the old man up and said in a low voice: "Old man, please get up quickly. This is our joint effort. As long as the children return safely, it will be good."

Bai Linglong was also moved, her eyes welled up with tears, and she walked to a young mother.

He patted her shoulder gently and said, "You must take good care of the children in the future and don't let them get hurt again."

The young mother raised her tearful face and said with sobs: "Don't worry, my dear husband, I will definitely do it. I will never be able to repay your kindness even if I work like a cow or a horse."

Surrounded by the common people, Nangong Yan and Bai Linglong came to the temporary inn.

The emperor, empress, and queen mother were waiting in the inn early in the morning.

Nangong Yan and Bai Linglong walked quickly into the inn to report safety to the Emperor, Empress, and Queen Mother.

The emperor looked concerned, raised his hand to signal them to stand up, and said: "You have performed a great deed this time. I heard that the children were rescued safely, and I am very relieved."

Nangong Yan replied respectfully: "Reporting to the emperor, I was able to successfully rescue the child this time, thanks to the full assistance of the secret guards and the guards, as well as the support of the people. I dare not take credit for it."

The queen smiled and looked at Bai Linglong: "Linglong, you have shown courage and wisdom in this action, which makes me admire you very much. It is a blessing in disguise for those children to meet you."

Bai Linglong bowed and saluted, saying modestly: "Thank you for the compliment, mother. This is what a daughter-in-law should do.

Seeing those children reunited with their families, the daughter-in-law was filled with relief. ”

The Queen Mother looked at the two of them lovingly and said, "You are both good children. You have done such a great thing for the people. God will bless you.

But how do they plan to deal with the powerful forces behind this? ”

Nangong Yan's expression was stern, and he said, "Grandmother, when I destroyed the dungeon, I found that the forces behind it were huge and complex.

They colluded with criminals from all over the country to form a huge trafficking network.

Although this dungeon has been taken down, there are still clues to other hideouts.

The grandson plans to continue tracking them down and catch them all in one fell swoop to eliminate the trouble once and for all. ”

The emperor nodded slightly, his expression solemn: "This matter must be thoroughly investigated, and these evildoers must not be allowed to go unpunished. I will send more people to assist you, and you must completely destroy this trafficking network."

Bai Linglong went on to say: "During the investigation, my daughter-in-law obtained some clues through the system and found that they seemed to have a secret contact point that might contain important information.

We plan to start from this contact point and further disintegrate their forces. ”

After a long discussion, they formulated a detailed investigation plan.

Until night fell, Nangong Yan and Bai Linglong returned to their room to rest.

Back at the residence, the four children had been waiting for a long time.

Dabao Nan Jinxuan said with admiration: "Dad, Mom, you are so awesome!

I will protect everyone like you in the future! ”

Erbao Nan Jinyi held Bai Linglong's hand, his eyes sparkling, "Mom, I also want to learn some skills and help you catch the bad guys!"

Sanbao Nanjinyu and Sibao Nanjinyao also nodded vigorously and followed in a baby voice.

Nangong Yan patted the children's heads and said earnestly, "Okay, you all must remember that justice may be late, but it will never be absent.

No matter what difficulties we encounter, we must uphold justice and protect the weak. ”

Bai Linglong looked at the children with a look of satisfaction in her eyes: "Yes, you must study hard so that you can do more for the people in the future."

At dawn the next day, Nangong Yan and Bai Linglong and their group prepared to set off again.

They took their secret guards and bodyguards, said goodbye to the people of Lanzhou City, and headed for the next town.

As the people waved goodbye, their figures gradually disappeared and the road in the distance became clear.
