178 Two-Knife Cliff
The women quickly ate the meat on the table, thoroughly enjoying their meal! They let out satisfied burps.
Night had just begun to fall, and it took about half an hour to finish the meal. After the food was eaten, the women leaned against each other quietly, sharing the peaceful moment.
Rou Rou yawned; she was tired after a busy day. She affectionately stroked Rou Rou's hair and whispered, "Rou Rou, go to sleep first. I have some errands to run tonight. After I'm done, I'll show you all the beautiful scenery around here."
Rou Rou was extremely sleepy at the moment. She nodded mechanically and quickly fell asleep on my body, a smile on her lips and her eyes sparkling with joy. She was clearly very happy.
Wanqing smiled gently, also feeling a bit tired. She gently picked up Rourou and said, "I'll take Rourou to rest first. Chenlang, go and freshen up, wash up after your journey."
She smiled and nodded, but instead of handing Rou Rou over to Wan Qing, she got up, picked Rou Rou up, and carried her back to her room. She gently and tenderly covered her with the blanket, then quietly closed the door and left.
The girls are still waiting, hoping to have more time to spend together.
Seeing this, I felt a pang of guilt. I should have spent more time with him after this was all over.
Upon entering the hall, he sat on a chaise lounge, and the other women gathered around him, gently snuggling close, creating an exceptionally quiet atmosphere.
Wei Qinghui whispered, "Today we went to the new residence. It's basically finished. Once it's decorated, we can move in."
Yun Su and the others nodded in agreement, saying, "The space over there is much larger. Everything in the market has been normal these past two days. There are many bandits and mountain thieves nearby who take the back roads."
Moreover, news that Sister Yunqing's group possesses spiritual materials, treasures, and cultivation manuals spreads quickly, suggesting that someone is plotting against Sister Yunqing and her companions.
However, ordinary petty thieves pose no threat to the team; the question remains: who is behind this?
Then he paused and said, "I contacted my father yesterday, and he has already been secretly investigating within the capital city."
I also contacted Sister Yunqing and told them to be careful and take precautions.
The most likely location along this route is the Two Blade Cliffs in Wanzhou, where an ambush is planned. If someone above the Martial King level were to make a move, there would certainly be clues to follow.
Jie Huayu then added, "Two Blade Cliffs are indeed terrifying. The cliffs are steep on both sides, like two blades on either side, with a path about twenty zhang wide in the middle. However, I've never heard of rocks falling down there before."
Then he asked in confusion, "The top of Liangdao Cliff is extremely steep, and the whole length is about two miles. It is said to have been formed by immortals opening up the mountain."
This road also opened up an important passage from Wanzhou to Dalong Prefecture, and there were many merchants, security escort agencies, and various dignitaries traveling through it.
Would they dare ambush us here?
Yun Su, Piao Miao Yue, and the others also frowned. They probably wouldn't dare to do it here, but these people dare to attack even a group of people and accidentally injure some merchants and local dignitaries, so there's nothing they wouldn't dare to do.
He Chen gently reassured them, "Their plans in Wanzhou have just been disrupted, and they may have changed. The news has probably spread by now. So we can't wait any longer tonight."
Su'er, come with me later. We'll meet up with General Yun and the others first. We'll check things out along the way and take care of everything.
Yun Su nodded in agreement. She said softly, "It's still early. Shen Lang, go and wash up first. Take a nap. You can go later tonight; the timing will be perfect."
Seeing how much Yun Su cared for him, he readily agreed. So, he went to the washbasin; the pool water washed away his weariness, and the cool water cleansed his mind of worldly thoughts. At that moment, his body and mind relaxed, and he quietly enjoyed the tranquility.
Less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea later, the door opened gently. Now that they were inside, their long legs and colorful miniskirts made them look like several mermaids.
The water rippled instantly. The surging waves crashed against the shore, churning up countless mounds of water.
The night is warm as spring. Even the cool water can't dampen the fiery passion.
Two hours later, everyone's faces glowed with happiness, and sweet smiles graced their lips. The blankets were gently tucked in.
I pushed open the door and stepped out, feeling refreshed. In the courtyard, a fairy sat on a stone bench, watching me with a sweet smile, and softly asked, "You've worked hard."
He gave an awkward laugh and gently embraced Yunsu. He whispered, "Let's set off now."
The beautiful woman nodded gently. She clung to him like an octopus, her eyes filled with adoration.
The Divine Bell Shield quickly enveloped Yun Su. She activated her footwork, using the Cloud Wind Step, covering a thousand miles in a single step. She swiftly reached high altitude, her feet resting on clouds, the wind gently caressing her. With a light touch of her feet, she rode the moon and the wind.
At this moment, the moon was high in the sky, and the night was tranquil. The trees along the road swayed in the wind, casting dappled shadows on the ground. The mountains were hazy, appearing as a giant screen in the distance. And this place was relatively open.
Everyone was asleep at night. Only the patrol teams remained, and a few torches lit up the dark night, giving a sense of peace.
In the distance, Jin Luo and Wes, dressed in uniforms and with their swords always at their sides, appeared to have increased their cultivation levels.
After the patrol, they ate a bowl of hot mutton noodles together. It was a huge bowl, filled to the brim, sprinkled with chopped green onions and topped with a large piece of mutton.
He ate heartily, trying to ward off the night's chill. Four subordinates were also eating beside him.
The two exchanged information briefly. Wes remarked, "The city was built really fast. I didn't expect it to take shape in just a few days. It looks quite impressive."
At this rate, it shouldn't be too long, maybe a month or two. The first layer of the city wall should be finished.
With city walls blocking the way, and a City God Temple set up, we'll feel much safer.
When I was a child living in the village, the wooden fences around me made me feel incredibly safe at night. Now, looking at those not-so-high walls, my sense of security has greatly increased.
He laughed as he finished speaking. It was as if he was thinking of happy times from the past, the simple joys of childhood! It can truly enrich a lifetime.
After listening, Jinluo ate a large bowl of noodles. Then he finished the soup in the bowl. He patted his chest and said, "Hmm."
He said, "Yes, although the city wall has just been built and is only about three feet high, the villagers are very happy. They're overjoyed to see the wall gradually rising."
As he spoke, he started laughing at himself.
Suddenly, a voice came from beside them, "From now on, you can start mining iron ore." It was an adult's voice. The two of them looked up involuntarily.
Suddenly, high in the sky, the moon shone faintly, and a figure could be vaguely discerned above it. This figure seemed to be riding the clouds and wind, like a celestial being.
The two immediately clasped their hands in a fist salute to the air, saying, "Yes, sir."
