265 Ten Thousand Mountains, Forty-Two

He remained calm and collected, considering all the possible scenarios. He understood that the biggest variable in this storm was his trusted backer, his only chance, and if he refused to compromise, this was the only option.

Deep within, I am calm and resolute, fearless and full of anticipation. I am ready to face all storms and challenges. I have also prepared for the worst. Yet, at this moment, I am filled with boundless pride, as if I could stir up a storm in the world.

Fang Lin, dressed in plain clothes with a knife at his waist and beads of sweat still on his face, strode in and said softly, "My lord, would you like to rest for a while? The remaining troublemakers in this manor have all been wiped out. You don't need to go to such trouble. Once the son-in-law arrives, this matter will be easily resolved."

Captain Guan nodded calmly and asked, "How has the outside reaction been to the opening of the institution?"

Fang Lin replied, "My lord, the message was just sent out today, and people have already come to inquire. This afternoon, quite a few more people came to ask questions. I heard that an elder from among them has come, hoping to discuss the matter in detail."

Captain Guan nodded in agreement, saying, "That's feasible. Better to have fewer but better candidates; as long as they have genuine skills, they can be employed."

Fang Lin said, "Yes, General."

In Huangtu County, Magistrate Meng, carrying a token containing a letter from afar, conveyed by the aura of a dragon, declared that he would spare no expense to obtain all of He Chen's information.

At this moment, Magistrate Meng, covered in sweat, with the aura of a dragon beside him, exuding an imposing aura, revealed everything he knew without reservation, without concealing anything.

I had already reported this once before, and there was nothing new this time. At this moment, I felt a deep sense of suffocation from the oppressive force, as if if I concealed it even slightly, the dragon energy would rush into my body and kill me instantly.

It came quickly and went quickly; it felt like a brush with death.

He thought to himself, 'Could it be related to the noise that night?'

At the same time, Mr. Wang received a message from Sun Daru, who urgently traveled a thousand miles to inform He Chen of everything, leaving no stone unturned.

He Chen became a complete sensation. Anyone with even a little bit of inside information knew that killing the prefect of Dalong Prefecture and directly occupying Dalong Prefecture was an act of rebellion.

As for Captain Guan's decision on his own, does anyone believe it? No one does, because Captain Guan is not strong enough, but He Chen is strong enough!

Such strength and such a brutal method of occupation are a slap in the face to the royal city. At this moment, all forces are watching, waiting, and hoping. Some young girls are thinking how wonderful it would be if such a hero were their lover.

It's a rare opportunity to brag to your best friends and companions.

At this moment, at the banquet, the women chatted together, slowly enjoying the fragrant and delicious food. Tonight, they would only talk about trivial matters, not national affairs; they would only talk about family matters, not major issues.

At this moment, the moon is high in the sky, and tonight, the night breeze is warm and no longer cold, gently caressing the women's cheeks, bringing peace and tranquility!

A gentle breeze stirred the leaves, which swayed softly in the moonlight like a graceful dance. Inside the market, torches flickered with warm light, their glow reflecting against the starry sky and adding a touch of poetry to the tranquil night.

In the garden, the crape myrtle is in bloom. The night breeze carries the fresh scent of grass and the fragrance of the crape myrtle, a refreshing and delightful feeling. At this moment, all is peaceful and beautiful!

As night fell, Huifu, Bairong, Danru, and Qingti, among others, gazed at the moon, longing for one person whose image lingered in their minds: "White dew gathers on the jade steps, the night deepens, soaking my silk stockings. May we all live long and share the beauty of the moon, though separated by a thousand miles."

Qingti asked softly, "Shen Lang won't not come back, will he?" Her longing was evident in her words, her eyes filled with yearning.

Huifu, Bairong, and Danru were the same, gazing at the moonlight, lost in thought, longing for their lovers to return soon.

Huifu whispered reassured him, "No, but Master is probably busy right now, as there are still many things he needs to handle. He'll come back once he's done."

I don't regret returning late, just don't go to Linqiong, that's all that matters!

At this moment, she appeared as a beautiful woman shrouded in ethereal mist, her long, glossy black hair casually draped over her shoulders. A perfect figure, long, slender legs, and an inner, serene aura—she was breathtakingly beautiful!

At this moment, Liu Qianqian seemed to have become even stronger and more beautiful, breathtakingly gorgeous. She stood quietly outside, silently protecting the master's wife. She also hoped that the master would arrive soon.

There is an emotion called longing. Gently touching my hair, I felt as if I truly understood it at that moment.

Amidst the vast mountains, riding the clouds and wind, one flies swiftly through the air, with a beautiful woman in one's arms, experiencing no turbulence whatsoever, only a deep sense of warmth and comfort.

Like a darling of the sky, its nimble figure appeared and disappeared in the dense forest. Sometimes it would brush past the trees, quickly heading in the direction Wanqing and Rourou had indicated.

A soft, sweet voice reached her ears, "Brother is here." Wanqing Rourou said almost simultaneously, her tone filled with joy, anticipation, and a hint of unreadable emotion, like a traveler longing for family.

I stopped quietly, standing in mid-air. Before me, as far as the eye could see, was a field of peach trees. Truly, the Peach Blossom Spring was only in the mirror-like lake, its reflection shimmering on the clear waves, a sea of ​​red stretching for miles.

And again,

The peach tree is young and tender, its blossoms are bright and beautiful.

When a daughter marries, may she bring harmony to her family.

The peach tree is young and tender, and its fruit is abundant.

When a daughter marries, may she bring harmony to her family.

The peach tree is young and tender, its leaves are lush and green.

When a daughter marries, may she bring harmony to her family.

Such a beautiful scene is truly a rare sight in the human world. It can only be glimpsed in the vast mountains. Unfortunately, even this monster cannot appreciate it!

People are in the air, as if they are in the wind!

A refreshing floral fragrance wafts through the air; it's the unique scent of peach blossoms, delicate and refreshing.

What came into view was a pink sea, the treetops laden with blooming peach blossoms, swaying gently in the breeze like pink waves. The season seemed both wrong and perfectly normal!

Ten miles of peach blossoms, a time for marriage, are generally very alluring.

Here, every peach tree is in full bloom, densely covered with peach blossoms. Some are still in bud, while others are in full bloom, their beautiful petals shimmering in the sunlight with a crystal-clear luster.

The peach trees in the peach grove are of various shapes and sizes; some are towering into the clouds, while others are winding and twisting, each displaying its own unique natural beauty.

The dense forest had few other trees. A path through the forest had been deserted for a long time and was covered with pink petals, which were extremely beautiful, like a pink velvet carpet spread on the ground.

Only a pair of birds, like newlywed swallows, were leisurely walking low above, as if taking a stroll.
