Chapter 507 Everyone is here to greet us
Mengrao Kuntu killed the King of Nanlin and was captured alive. According to the laws of Nanlin, he was beheaded in the street and executed the next day.
Yun Ran and the others would not stay until the next day. After saying goodbye to Miao Yi and Yun Chenglu, they set out on the road back to Dakang.
On their way back, they did not walk through the Black Forest anymore. When they arrived at the foot of the Black Stone Mountain, they saw the big red snake that Yun Ran had previously detoxified hiding in a nearby cave.
Hearing the sound of horse hooves, he stuck his head out.
I thought the soldiers would be afraid of it, but unexpectedly, when they saw the big snake, they were all happy and took out their dry food from the bags hanging around their waists and threw it to the snake.
The big snake twisted its body and caught the food very accurately. It opened its huge mouth and took in almost everything.
Yun Ran was surprised, and Ye Jingzhen explained, "After we defeated Ye Jinghua, we wanted to hike over Black Stone Mountain to join you, but we didn't expect it to suddenly appear and lead the way for us."
At that time, he led Yun Chenglu and Gao Ziyang to defeat Ye Jinghua's army in one fell swoop, then captured Ye Jinghua alive and sent Gao Ziyang to guard him. He and Yun Chenglu led troops to Nanlin to find Yun Ran and Miao Yi.
Unexpectedly, the red dragon suddenly appeared and not only did not attack them, but also brought them a shortcut. They could reach the Nanlin Royal City in the deep valley without having to cross the Black Stone Mountain.
At this moment, the red dragon happily ate the dry food fed by the soldiers, and then began to lead them on the road diligently.
The path was on the side of Black Rock Mountain, where several ancient pines gathered. It was particularly hidden. They walked around Black Rock Mountain for a while before they saw it.
However, it is indeed very close.
They followed the red dragon through the path, and in just half a day, they arrived at the border between Dakang and Nanlin.
If we follow the steps, it will take at least three or four days.
After bringing them there, the Red Dragon did not stop. It nodded at Yun Ran and Ye Jingzhen with its huge snake head, then it turned and dived into the crevices of the rocks behind it, disappearing without a trace.
At this time, it was gradually getting dark. Ye Jingzhen ordered to rest for one night and set off early the next morning.
Nothing happened that night, and the next day, they set off as soon as the sky was just getting light.
Not only Yun Ran and Ye Jingzhen, but all the soldiers in the army were eager to return home.
Now that winter has passed and spring has arrived, the road is covered with green grass, and the trees along the street have sprouted new buds, showing vitality everywhere.
Ye Jinghua has been escorted back to the capital by Gao Ziyang. He should have arrived in the capital by now.
The team moved at a very fast speed. Along the way, Ye Jingzhen and Yun Ran talked about what had happened in his side in the past few days.
After Ye Jinghua was defeated, Ye Jingzhen found many letters between him and the eldest prince Mengrao Kuntu in his military camp. Mengrao Kuntu even gave him the layout map of Nanlin Royal City and the defense map of Nanlin Kingdom.
After defeating the Nanlin Army, he also found a lot of letters between the two from Mengrao Kuntu, as well as the defense map of the capital of Dakang and the topographical map of Dakang.
However, there was one thing that Yun Ran had not thought of, which was a kind of witchcraft that exchanged one life for another.
Judging from the handwriting on Mengrao Kuntu's letter, it seems that the heir to the throne preferred by King Nanlin is not him, but the sickly second prince.
I think the reason why King Nanlin was anxious to find her to sacrifice to the snake god and form a blood pact was also related to this.
The Great Wizard died, and the Snake Wizard was not recognized by the Snake God, so he could only find another successor to the National Master.
Yun Ran sighed. It was no wonder that the eldest prince had killed King Nanlin in one fell swoop, and then forced her and Miao Yi to hand over the jade ring. It turned out that he had colluded with Ye Jinghua a long time ago and wanted to seize the throne in one fell swoop.
However, these are no longer important. The snake god is dead, and there will be no more witchcraft that harms people. Even if the witch tribe in Nanlin Kingdom still spreads it, it will definitely be a good witchcraft that cures diseases and saves lives.
All the letters and drawings collected by Ye Jingzhen were evidence of Ye Jinghua's treason. It seemed that the old man Ye Cangling, as well as the forces of the Queen Mother and the Empress, would never be able to turn the tables.
It was already past noon when they arrived in the capital. They marched along the official road in a mighty procession and could see the magnificent procession at the city gate from afar.
The carriage with its canopy, guards and cavalry looked very majestic from afar.
Yun Ran was still a little puzzled, and asked Ye Jingzhen, who was riding beside her, "Brother Jing, is there unrest in the northwest again? Is General Zhao going to go to war?"
Ye Jingzhen didn't reply to her immediately. He took out a small, delicate lens inlaid with brass from his waist, put it on his eyes and took a look.
Then he said, "I'm afraid they are here to welcome us."
"Come to welcome us?" Yun Ran still felt it was a bit exaggerated. Looking from a distance, there was a sea of people, tall horses, carriages and sedan chairs. How could it be possible?
Ye Jingzhen stared at the young man who was leading the group and riding on a white horse, pursed his lips, and then handed the small mirror in his hand to Yun Ran.
"See for yourself?"
Yun Ran took it curiously, turning it over and over in his hands, "What is this?"
"A thousand-mile view." Ye Jingzhen said, "Looking through it, you can see farther than with your own eyes."
"So amazing?" Yun Ran was curious and quickly picked it up to take a look.
Sure enough, through the thousand-mile view, she could immediately see the people at the front of the line under the city wall.
But this sight actually scared her.
The man in the lead, riding on a white horse, was handsome and had an imperial demeanor, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe.
On his left was also a young man with an elegant and handsome appearance. He was wearing a crimson robe, his hair was tied up high, and two strands of hair hung down at his temples, making him look quite suave.
There was an uncontrollable joy on his face. He raised his head slightly and looked forward, as if he was expecting something.
This... isn't this Big Brother?!
When Yun Ran saw this face that was so familiar to her, she couldn't hide her joy.
Looking again, there seemed to be a spacious and imposing carriage behind the eldest brother, and on the back of the horse pulling the carriage, there seemed to be... two people sitting?
There were two of them, one big and one small. The big one was a young girl in a pink coat, waving a handkerchief in her hand, and the small one was a boy, smiling mischievously.
It’s Fourth Sister and that little brat Yun Chengxi!
Yun Ran could no longer suppress her joy. She threw the Thousand Miles Telescope in her hand towards Ye Jingzhen and said, "Brother Xiao Jing, I'll give it back to you!"
After saying that, he squeezed the horse's belly with his feet and jumped out in a flash.
Ye Jingzhen looked at her unrestrained and carefree figure, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
"Big brother! Fourth sister! Chengxi!"
The chestnut pony ran very fast, and Yun Ran raised the whip and swung it high in the air.
Her shout received an immediate response.
Yun Yue, who was sitting on the horse pulling the cart, immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Ran Ran! Ran Ran!"
"You're finally back!"
"Big brother has become the Prime Minister! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ascended the throne! You are finally back!"
"Dad! Mom! Grandma! Third Uncle and Third Aunt! Ranran and the little prince have won the fight!"
Everyone in the welcoming team suddenly burst into laughter.
Ye Jingtian was not annoyed and laughed along with everyone else.
