At this moment, there were three people standing at the door! The man in the middle was dressed in black, with a serious and indifferent appearance, and a calm and unwavering expression, as if nothing could change him!
But at this moment, it was like a bolt from the blue. The seriousness on his face was completely shattered, his pupils contracted as if in an earthquake, and his handsome face became extremely complicated, a mixture of surprise, shock, anticipation, pain, and hope...
Peony was facing the main entrance and had just seen the three figures. Her expression hadn't quite caught up yet. Little Muxing turned around quickly upon hearing the voice, her wary gaze immediately freezing. Upon seeing Wang Yan, the little girl hadn't even realized his unusual behavior before she called out with a smile.
"Master Wang Yan, Grandma is back...she's safe and sound!"
The two haven't seen each other in a long time. Grandma will be so happy to see Master Wang Yan! Hehe, she's so lucky…
Qin Qing, who was cooking at home, sneezed violently. She never expected that her granddaughter would become so masculine after spending so much time in the military!
At this moment, in the Huang residence…
Upon hearing Xiao Muxing's words, Wang Yan clenched his fists, his excitement and restraint on his face so clear. After a long while, just when everyone thought he was about to rush over to confirm, Wang Yan slightly curled the corners of his mouth and gritted his teeth.
"good!"
The anger, worry, excitement, joy, and a hint of madness conveyed in that single word truly startled Xiao Muxing!
Huang Zhong was closest, his heart pounding wildly. He subconsciously swallowed and silently mourned for Qin Qing for three seconds!
Seeing this, Peony quickly hugged her son, excited and happy.
"Let's go there quickly! That's great! I knew Mom was blessed with good fortune and would be alright! Let's go now!"
Before the words were even finished, the people at the door, who hadn't even had time to wash up or change, saw Wang Yan mount his horse and quietly wait for Shaoyao and the other woman to get into the carriage and leave together...
At this moment, his complexion had returned to normal, but his slightly trembling hands gripped the reins tightly on the horse's back, and his stiff back was ramrod straight, as if he was enduring something.
After the two boarded the carriage, the group set off. However, the journey seemed peaceful on the surface, but the atmosphere was actually tense, as if a storm was brewing!
Even someone as thick-skinned as Huang Zhong sensed something was amiss. He sat on his horse without uttering a sound, not daring to look Wang Yan in the eye, for fear that he would be killed by Wang Yan's gaze at any moment!
Then he slowed down, leveling the horse with the carriage, and whispered.
"Madam? What happened? Your mother was already... how did she suddenly come back to life?"
Upon hearing the sound, Peony lifted the carriage curtain, her face showing a mixture of excitement and helplessness.
"I don't know either! But it's a good thing overall, as long as Mother is still alive!"
At this moment, Xiao Muxing noticed something strange and whispered to Shaoyao.
"Did I say something wrong? Master Wang Yan doesn't look well. Could it be that my grandmother did something to offend him? Master Wang Yan's expression is like he's about to seek revenge... How scary!"
Xiao Muxing also regretted it, her little face full of confusion and unease. She had never seen Master Wang Yan with such a twisted expression. Since Master Wang Yan returned a few months ago, his personality had changed drastically, becoming even more ruthless and cruel than before, and his methods had become increasingly vicious...
At the time, she was so immersed in the news of her grandmother's death that she didn't notice anything unusual about Master Wang Yan. Now that I think about it, it seems like Master Wang Yan looked like he had lost something back then...
Looking back now… that feeling seemed to have come alive just a moment ago! She realized something… what Master Wang Yan had lost was his “vitality”! In other words, he had lost the courage to live!
At this moment, Xiao Muxing was lost in thought and did not see the worry in Huang Zhong's eyes...
I hope my cousin won't do anything impulsive! Thinking back to the crazed look in his eyes when he couldn't accept Qin Qing's death, I feel scared!
Qin Qing's resurrection is naturally a good thing, but for someone who has lost someone important to him and then suddenly finds out that everything was a joke, it's hard to say whether he can accept it in a short time. Moreover, could Qin Qing really survive when the whole city was occupied by the enemy and he was nowhere to be seen for more than two months?
Impossible! Let alone Qin Qing, a woman, even Wang Yan himself couldn't possibly have that kind of strength! Unless he disguised himself, but he didn't know if Qin Qing could do that. He only knew that disguising himself wouldn't work, because the soldiers of the Ice Mountain Grassland Tribe were all tall and strong. If a short person suddenly appeared, it might not be noticeable for a few days, but it would definitely be discovered after a while!
In that situation, Qin Qing would have been certain to die!
But how did she manage to return safely? It doesn't make sense!
Wang Yan heard every word they said, but his mind was in complete turmoil, unlike his calm exterior. His blank mind left him stiff and unable to process what he had just heard.
He wasn't dead... Really? He had to admit that he was afraid at this moment, afraid that it was all an illusion, afraid that when he got there he would find that everyone had lied to him, afraid that the Qin Qing who had returned was someone in disguise!
In short, he subconsciously forced himself not to believe it! If Qin Qing was alright, why didn't she come back sooner? Why did she only come back now? And why didn't she look for him after she came back? Why did she look for her grandchildren instead!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became; the angrier he became, the more agitated he became; and the more agitated he became, the more aggrieved and bitter he felt…
The thought of the heartache, sorrow, despair, and helplessness he had experienced over the past few months made him so angry that his teeth itched with rage!
The people behind them could clearly feel the anger; the oppressive atmosphere throughout the journey kept them from speaking!
The people on both sides of the street had gradually gone home, and many shops were about to close, but the big man riding three fine horses still attracted a crowd of onlookers...
"This...isn't this General Wang? And the two behind him must be his deputies? Why are they out today?"
Ignoring their surprise, since their triumphant return, many people had heard of their exploits in Liuyun City and were full of admiration! Moreover, the trio's success in the battle of Liuyun City made Wang Yan, who was already renowned, even more famous.
Since their return, the group has rarely made public appearances. They spend almost all their time practicing martial arts at home, except for attending court. The other two at least go to the military camp to train soldiers, but Wang Yan stays at home practicing swordsmanship. His occasional trip to the military camp causes a huge uproar, and everyone is on high alert!
Wang Yan was so stern, and his eyes were so intimidating that everyone avoided him!
Time had passed, and before they knew it, the group had crossed the street and entered the alley, soon arriving at the door of a house.
