Gobi.
desert.
It hasn't been an easy journey.
Linghu Lan rode a small donkey slowly toward the pass. She was going to try her luck; what if she could manage to clear the pass? At worst, she could just unleash another wave of Five-Flower Thunder.
She walked slowly, without any sign of rushing, resting wherever she happened to be, without being particular about anything.
After waiting for so long, it's finally here, but I'm not in such a hurry anymore. Ten years have taken a toll on my spirit.
No matter how far the journey, we will eventually arrive at our destination.
He lived in poverty.
The towering city gate blocked the way, and soldiers surveyed the surrounding area from their elevated positions.
Linghu Lan stood out conspicuously on the road below the city gate.
The patrolling soldiers saw her and let out a surprised cry. Immediately, a group of soldiers ran over, saluted her respectfully, and led her to the nearby post station.
A familiar courtier approached and said respectfully in a low voice, "His Majesty has decreed that we be sent as envoys to the Central Plains and that we be tasked with escorting His Highness back to the Central Plains."
Linghu Lan was surprised that Wei Rui had thought things through so thoroughly. Indeed, she was a clever girl. Not long after ascending the throne, she made the decision to send an envoy to the Central Plains. She was truly a person of great courage and determination.
So Linghu Lan abandoned the little donkey, got into the carriage, and followed the caravan all the way to the Central Plains. Along the way, they encountered bandits, camel bandits, and wolf packs, and were constantly bombarded with thunder. Finally, they arrived safely at Fenghuo Pass in the Central Plains.
The official letter had already been sent long ago, but before the garrison commander of Fenghuo Pass could even open the gate, a riot broke out among the crowd. Countless arrows and crossbow bolts were not aimed at the envoys outside the pass, but instead were all aimed at those inside.
"Someone has kidnapped the General."
"No one is allowed to shoot an arrow without my order."
"Open the city gates! Quickly, open the city gates!"
"If anything happens to the general, all of your dog lives will be buried with him."
After practicing her martial arts, Linghu Lan's hearing and eyesight improved. Although the sounds from the city gate were faint, they could not escape her ears. She slowly stepped down from the carriage and guessed that someone was trying to break through the pass and had kidnapped the general of Fenghuo Pass.
The city gates slowly opened.
She stood there quietly watching as a man dressed in black, with a weathered face, rode out of the city gate on horseback. On his chest was a general in armor, his face full of resentment, with a sword at his neck. The man in black solemnly carried out this heinous act of kidnapping.
He looked up and saw Linghu Lan, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground.
"Heroine...spare me!"
"How about we play a game to get to know each other since it's our first meeting?"
"Heroine, please have some self-respect! In broad daylight, under the clear sky, how dare you forcibly abduct a man?"
"Heroine, the night is long and I have no desire to sleep. Why don't you and I..."
"..."
Memories flooded my mind, one by one.
The horse slowly walked towards Linghu Lan. The general was somewhat surprised that the young man who dared to kidnap him had suddenly lost his strength and suddenly had an aura of sadness. The general was infected by this sadness and looked at the woman standing there motionless with tears in her eyes. He seemed to understand something.
Fu Xin slowly walked to Linghu Lan's side, her eyes brimming with tears. "Qin Ying!"
Linghu Lan nodded, tears rolling down her cheeks. "Shouldn't you call me a heroine?"
