The situation in Dayong has returned to calm, and all the mutated beasts have been dealt with by Ying San and his group.
And then a gentle breeze blew in from somewhere, making all their fatigue disappear, and the wounded who were lying in the camp recovered completely.
All the soldiers present believed it was a divine miracle, a sign of divine favor upon Dayong.
The miracle that brought them was only vaguely perceived by Ying San and the Gong family, who suspected it might be related to Jing Le.
Ying San and the others stayed at the border to wait for Jing Le.
Jing Le worked almost all night to destroy all the formations. By the time she returned to Dayong, the sky was already turning light.
A large wave of golden light of merit flowed directly into Jing Le's body; this was the greatest feedback Heaven had given her.
As for her strength, she has now recovered to the level she reached when she ascended in her previous life, but this world is too small and simply does not support her ascension.
Presumably, once she leaves this world, she will naturally ascend to a higher level of world.
When Jing Le arrived at General Gong's tent, the golden light of merit emanating from his body had not yet completely subsided, making him look like a golden doll, so bright that everyone present squinted.
A moment later, the golden light was no longer visible.
"Lele, you've worked hard. Grandpa will have someone prepare breakfast right away."
Jing Le's maternal grandfather, General Gong, only learned about Jing Le's solo mission to deal with the person behind the scenes after Ying San and others explained the situation, and he was worried all night.
Seeing Jing Le return safely, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Grandpa, Lele misses you so much."
Now Jing Le has returned to normal, just an ordinary little girl, running up to General Gong and sweetly calling out to him.
"Oh, Lele, don't you miss your second uncle? Your second uncle will take you horseback riding in a little while."
"I'm the eldest uncle, I'll take Lele to..."
"And us..."
As a result, Jing Le was immediately surrounded by the Gong family members, whose grandchildren who were not present the night before were even more welcoming of Jing Le's arrival.
After all, Jing Le helped him vet all the beautiful wives in his family before he married them.
So when the army arrived at the border, Jing Le was having a great time at the general's mansion in the border town.
As for the large army that came to provide support, they didn't have to do anything. After resting for only two days, they were dismissed and sent back. It was as if they had just taken a short trip and returned to the capital.
All the time on the way was spent traveling.
Jing Le did not return to the capital with the army, but instead sent a message to Emperor Jing saying that he was going to travel for a while before returning.
He led his group away from the border and headed to other countries.
...
It's summer now, and the sun is scorching the earth. It hasn't rained here for half a month, and everywhere you go, the vegetation shows signs of water shortage.
In a small town in a neighboring country, a thousand miles away from the border of Dayong.
A gentle breeze carrying the heat blew across everyone's faces, drying off the excess moisture. The people walking around were all drenched in sweat, and even their lips were cracked in several places.
Suddenly, this atmosphere was broken by a group of people.
Several neatly dressed young men, pulling a tall horse, were not bothered by the sweltering heat at all.
A regular horse-drawn carriage was pulling behind them, slowly making their way to the town.
This group of people was none other than Jing Le and his companions.
That day, Jing Le used Shi Changfeng's soul sensor to explore and found a reaction in a small town thousands of miles away from the border, so she decided to come and take a look.
Shadow Six arrived in the town first and found a nice inn to stay in.
When Jing Le and the others arrived, the food was already on the table.
"Please take your time using this objectively."
After serving the last dish, the waiter bowed and withdrew.
Jing Le and his friends were eating in the lobby, which made it easier for them to hear the gossip about the place.
At the table right next to Jin Le's, three burly local men were drinking and chatting together.
A slightly overweight man picked up the wine bowl on the table, took a sip, wiped his mouth, and exclaimed, "Good wine."
Then he mentioned a piece of news he had heard today: "I have something to tell you, but don't forget to tell others that I spread it."
"What is it? Tell me first."
"Exactly, could it be that your cousin's sister-in-law, the cousin of your third cousin's wife, has taken a liking to you?"
The other two, who were thinner, joked with each other.
"Go away, don't talk nonsense. I'm telling the truth. The Xu family is preparing for another wedding tonight. It's the 18th of this month now. I wonder if the bride will survive tonight."
Jing Le was quite surprised to see the fat man with an expression of both jealousy and regret.
Why didn't the bride live tonight at the Xu family's wedding? Did someone die?
Jing Le's eyes darted around, filled with curiosity. She even stopped holding her chopsticks and continued listening to the conversation next door.
"Speaking of this, I also heard some news. My aunt's cousin works for Master Xu, and she said that the reason Master Xu wanted to marry off his mentally challenged son was..."
It was because a Taoist priest told him that only a woman's virgin blood could awaken his son's consciousness.
Unexpectedly, none of the brides survived their wedding night. Fortunately, Master Xu had bought his daughters-in-law from a poor family in another region, so their deaths prevented a major uproar.
The other skinny guy, who knew some inside information, began to talk to the two of them in a low voice.
"No wonder the Xu family has held seventeen wedding banquets in a month, and is about to hold their eighteenth. It's because the Xu family is rich and can afford to buy daughters-in-law, unlike us... sigh..."
The three of them stopped there, and Jing Le, having heard enough, went upstairs to rest.
When the waiter brought the tea, Jing Le stopped him, placed a silver ingot on the table, pushed it towards the waiter, and said:
"Waiter, do you know about the Xu family's wedding? Tell me everything from beginning to end, and it's yours."
The boy stared wide-eyed at the silver, which weighed at least ten taels, and immediately pulled back the foot he was about to step out the door.
He blinked and looked at the group of tall young men surrounding Jing Le, then cautiously asked, "Miss, I said, are you really going to give all of these to me?"
He was just a waiter, and he couldn't even earn ten taels of silver a month. But he could earn ten taels of silver just by talking about the Xu family's wedding. It was like a pie falling from the sky.
No wonder he couldn't quite believe it.
"That's right, only the news is true, and these are yours."
Jing Le smiled and explained, but her overall demeanor was impossible to ignore. After all, judging from her clothes and appearance, one could tell that she was a rich heiress.
Moreover, he was accompanied by about ten young men, who were probably guards or something similar.
This kind of person shouldn't be short of money.
Without further hesitation, she said, "Miss, you've come to the right person. I do know some inside information about the Xu family."
