Chapter 870 Chapter 872 Gift
"Let's not talk about him for now. Feng Xingjia doesn't know why Chen Lishu took people away, but you should know!" Rong Xianxian looked at Chang Qing.
"I know that half a year ago, when the rumor of General Cui being persecuted spread, Chen Lishu came to me and I sent people to investigate. Although the information group had infiltrated various departments in Jincheng, they still couldn't get any exact news. Chen Lishu thought I didn't want to save General Cui and was very dissatisfied with this. Shen Lishu ran away, perhaps because he got some news, or it may be that the enemy deliberately released false news to mislead him." In the last six months, Chang Qing had a hard time due to internal and external troubles.
In the third year after Rong Xianxian left, the Tianhe Free Corps began to suffer from exclusion and difficulties from many parties. Cui Lie stepped forward to defend it several times, which had long aroused the dissatisfaction of his superiors. Later, Zhu Tianliang was persuaded by Cheng Ying to split and annex the forces left by Rong Xianxian. After Cui Lie learned about it, he directly submitted an application for discharge from the army, intending to share the hardships with the Tianhe Free Corps. This move of his completely annoyed Zhu Tianliang.
"When was the last time you saw him?" Rong Xianxian asked.
"About a year ago! I took Xiao Luo and Xuan Xuan to Hongteng Mountain for training, but the news leaked accidentally. On the way back, we were ambushed. The enemy was large in number and powerful, and Captain Huo was seriously injured. Fortunately, the fire-breathing gourd in Xuan Xuan's hand made the enemy very afraid and delayed some time. After we were besieged for a day and a night, the enemy's fire support arrived, and we were in a desperate situation. At this time, General Cui showed up with his men, broke the siege, and rescued us. That was the last time I saw him. His state was a little bit not right at that time. I just asked him what happened, but he refused to say. Later, I couldn't contact him. I knew he must have been in trouble. Because of General Cui's presence in the Fourth Legion, the information group didn't have many spies. After General Cui lost contact, those spies all lost contact as well." There was a deep sense of frustration on Chang Qing's face. It's not that he didn't want to take care of Cui Lie's accident, but he was really powerless.
"Cui Lie's life is fine. I will find him." Rong Xianxian had already searched for news about Cui Lie, Ming Tianlei, Song Min, Wang Hong and others through the Sirens, and had a general understanding of their current situation.
Wang Hong was arrested because she knew all the recipes for the nourishing and healing dishes of Tianhe Winery and Jinmeng Hotel. Ming Tianlei was arrested because he was famous for forging weapons. In the eyes of the enemy, these two people were cash cows and would not be easily harmed.
The situation with Cui Lie and Song Min was a bit complicated. Rong Xianxian stayed in Jindu because Chang Qing's condition was still unstable and it was not suitable for her to worry too much about it. Secondly, in order to launch a full-scale counterattack and wipe out all hostile forces, she needed to improve the overall combat effectiveness of the Tianhe Freedom Corps. She had left enough elixirs at Hongteng Mountain, and now the managers of the major strongholds had arrived one after another, and they would also be provided with enough elixirs. Once Chang Qing's condition stabilized, she could leave.
"Madam, when will you leave?" Chang Qing knew that Rong Xianxian still had a lot of things to do and couldn't stay here forever.
"In two days, when the situation in the city stabilizes, I will hand it over to you. So, you must take good care of your injuries, okay?" Rong Xianxian patted Chang Qing's shoulder.
"Okay!" Chang Qing did not refuse. His heart was at peace now that Rong Xianxian was back.
Rong Xianxian returned to her residence and Xuanxuan and Xiaoluo were talking.
"Xiao Luo, your attitude towards Dad today was wrong!" Xuanxuan's voice sounded a little angry.
"Sister, I'm injured and it hurts!"
"Don't act pitiful. I don't ask you to act happy. Can't you just call me daddy?" Xuanxuan knocked Xiaoluo's head in dissatisfaction.
Rong Xianxian pushed the door open and came in. "Xiao Luo, are you still angry with your dad? Do you want the gift that dad made for you?"
Two purple boxes appeared out of thin air in Rong Xianxian's hands.
"Mom!" Xuanxuan saw Rong Xianxian running towards her happily, and the mother and daughter gave each other a big hug.
"Mom, what's in here? It's great that Xiao Luo doesn't want them. They are all mine." Xuanxuan happily took both boxes.
"Who said I don't want it? Mom, why did you come back just now? You've been gone for a long time. No matter where you go in the future, you must take me with you!" Xiao Luo's eyes turned red as he spoke.
"Oh, who said you can stand on your own? Look at you, Xiao Luo, aren't you ashamed?" Xuanxuan laughed at him.
"Hmph, Mom might leave here soon, so if you have the guts, don't follow her!" Xiao Luo's crying tone disappeared immediately after being interrupted by Xuanxuan.
Rong Xianxian went forward and hugged Xiao Luo. "You little brat has grown so tall. Your uncle Chang Qing has a lot of black accounts to remember for you. I'll have a good talk with you when I'm done with my work."
"Ah!" Xiao Luo was dumbfounded when he heard it.
"Wow, what beautiful crystal!" Xuanxuan exclaimed, holding a glittering crystal bracelet in her hand.
"This is not only beautiful, your father engraved four kinds of magic arrays on it: spirit gathering array, obstacle breaking array, concealment array, and teleportation array. Look, this is the array text!" Rong Xianxian pointed to the array text on the crystal and showed it to Xuanxuan.
"This bracelet has a total of 18 crystals. Each crystal has four runes on it. The arrangement order of the crystal runes for each magic array is different. You should study it first!" Rong Xianxian said with a smile.
This kind of crystal was the trophy obtained by Rong Xianxian in the ancient realm. She only found out later that this kind of crystal was called Naling Crystal, which was as famous as Tianyu Crystal. The biggest feature of this crystal was that it could hold a huge amount of spiritual energy, and it also had the function of automatically absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. A piece of Naling Crystal was equivalent to a piece of inexhaustible top-grade spiritual stone.
The spiritual energy in the Naling crystal can be directly refined and used by cultivators, or runes and array patterns can be engraved on the crystal to provide energy support for magic arrays and talismans.
"This gift is amazing, and the other one must be..." Xuanxuan couldn't help but look at the box next to her.
"Mine!" Xiao Luo quickly grabbed the box.
