Yun Can brought Cang Lan back to Yun Xiao Mountain. Yun Chun and the others had not returned yet.
The master and disciple settled down on the mountain. Canglan studied and practiced swordsmanship very hard. Yun Can finally understood how Senior Sister Yun An had looked at her back then.
All she could do was to make more delicious food for Canglan to nourish him and prepare medicinal baths for him to soak in, so that he would not ruin his body at such a young age.
"Master!" Yun Chun returned with her fellow disciples a few years ago.
"We're back. We've seen and learned a lot along the way. What is this?" Yun Chun saw the young boy behind Yun Can.
"My disciple, Lan'er, this is your master."
"Lan'er pays homage to the Grandmaster."
"Okay, okay, our Cancan has also accepted a disciple." Yun Chun was happy to see this.
"Okay, you've already accepted a disciple when we were not around. I'm your uncle Yun'an. Your master didn't tell you earlier. Luckily, I accidentally got a dagger that can cut through iron like mud. I originally wanted to give it to your master, but I'll give it to you as a gift." Yun'an said as he took out an extremely exquisite dagger from his sleeve.
Canglan looked at Yuncan, who smiled and nodded.
"Thank you, Uncle Yun'an. Lan'er likes it very much." Canglan took it with both hands.
"Well, as long as you like it." Yun An happily reached out and rubbed her head.
Among all the sisters, Yun An is the most lively.
There was no greeting outside the door. With the return of Yun Chun and the others, the Yunxiao Sect suddenly became full of vitality.
Yun Chun and her friends came back on the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the Chinese New Year was just a few days away.
A lot of things happened this year, and everyone gained a lot of knowledge by going out.
Canglan was eating the New Year's Eve dinner and listening to everyone's chat, with a smile on his little face.
He was still a little worried about his second brother, the Crown Prince, and wondered when they would be reunited. Yun Can knew his worries and simply gave him a chicken drumstick without trying to comfort him.
March came in a blink of an eye, and the peach blossoms at the foot of the mountain were in bloom.
"Lan'er, you must listen carefully to your ancestors and uncles. Your master will come back early after finishing his work." Yun Can still decided to go to Dongli again.
"Yes, Lan'er will definitely be good." Canglan said.
Yun Can once again said goodbye to his master and other senior sisters, then went down the mountain to Dongli City.
The haunted house is now deserted.
Cang Ning's mother was of humble origin, but was extremely favored by the late emperor, which also fostered Cang Ning's ambition. Two years ago, the late emperor was seriously ill, and Cang Hua was leading the army outside and did not receive any news.
Cang Ning persuaded his mother to imprison the late emperor in a secret room, found a master of disguise to impersonate the late emperor, and then sent people to kill Cang Hua.
This is why Cang Hua appeared in Yunxiao Sect.
Cang Hua returned to Dongli City alive, and Cang Ning had no choice but to launch a coup, saying that it was to force the emperor to abdicate. Since the emperor was a fake, he naturally wrote the abdication edict obediently.
Cang Hua was seriously injured and knew that Cang Ning would not let them go. He arranged for someone to replace Cang Lan, but the eldest prince Cang Ming heard that the third prince was forcing the emperor to abdicate and directly led his men into the palace to rescue him, but was eventually killed by Cang Ning.
Yun Can and Cang Hua had only met a few times, so it was definitely not the case that they knew much about each other. All they knew about Cang Hua were stories about his deeds that were widely circulated among the people.
Yun Can wandered around Dongli City for a few days but still couldn't find Cang Hua's possible hiding place.
She didn't dare to ask too much, for fear of alerting Cang Ning's people who were searching for Cang Hua.
During this time, Yun Can heard many stories about Cang Ning. He was brutal and bloodthirsty, and any girl sent to the palace who was favored by him would not survive more than three days. The mass graves were almost full of the bodies of the girls.
Yun Can wanted to rush into the palace and kill the man immediately. However, he hadn't found Cang Hua yet. In an alley, he overheard two people talking about a past event of Cang Hua. Yun Can had a guess in his mind.
The next day, he rode a fast horse, left Dongli City, and headed for Suifeng City.
"You're here indeed." Yun Can finally found Cang Hua's location. Suifeng City was Cang Ning's fiefdom. The late emperor favored Concubine Min and had long ago made Cang Ning a king and granted him fiefdom. However, he couldn't bear to separate Concubine Min and her son, so he had kept her in Dongli City.
Cang Hua's actions were often unexpected. Although Suifeng City was Cang Ning's fiefdom, it was also the site of Cang Hua's first expedition. His control over Suifeng City was far superior to Cang Ning's. Furthermore, the most dangerous place was also the safest, just like the haunted house in Dongli City where he had previously hidden.
Now, no matter how hard Cang Ning tried, he would never have thought that Cang Hua would be hiding in his fiefdom.
"Long time no see, but is there something wrong with Lan'er?" Canghua was a little worried.
"He is very good, with good physique, and is very diligent in both studying and practicing." Yun Can replied.
"That's good, young lady, you are here." Canghua looked at Yuncan in confusion.
"Dongcang Kingdom needs a wise ruler." Yun Can said so.
"This matter still needs long-term consideration."
"We can't wait that long. All the girls who have reached marriageable age in Dongcang Kingdom must be sent to the palace. The mass grave in Dongli City can no longer hold the bodies of the girls." Yun Can said.
"I'm incompetent."
"You are somewhat incompetent. You knew that this person was cruel, bloodthirsty, greedy, tyrannical, and ambitious, but you allowed him to grow." Yun Can said bluntly.
Cang Hua was speechless. It was indeed his fault; he always thought he had everything under control.
"You have led troops for many years. How do you control the army?" Yun Can asked.
"I'm here to mobilize troops. I can gather 50,000 troops for my use in just three days."
"Suifeng still has five cities to the east, and we may be able to capture them without bloodshed."
"The generals guarding the city were all my subordinates."
"We may reach Dongli in January."
