When the sun was rising, Qiu Jing saw the land from afar and breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, he didn't know what was going on on Xingluo Island after he left, but he was responsible for escorting Peng Wu and his three children home. He was worried about the wind and rain when he was on the sea. However, this time he was lucky. The weather was very good for several days in the middle and he did not encounter wind and waves.
Peng Wu's two sons were originally named Zhong, but she had changed the name of the children and asked them to be named Peng, including the little girl she had decided to adopt. The twin brother is now called Peng Jiaxin, the younger brother is called Peng Jiale, and the younger sister is called Peng Jiayue. "Jia" is the middle name that Peng Wei originally decided to use for this generation of children.
Qiu Jing turned around and saw a little boy coming out of the cabin, laughing and calling him, "Lele, look, we will arrive soon."
The little boy shook his head seriously, "Uncle Jing, I am Xiner."
Qiu Jing was stunned for a moment, and saw the little boy laughing with a cracked mouth, "Haha, I've tricked Uncle Jing again!"
Qiu Jing supported the forehead. After the two children got along with them, they were very keen on playing the game "Guess Who I am". To be honest, when the twins look the same, wear the same clothes, and deliberately don't want to tell them, it's really hard for Qiu Jing to tell them.
Ashin ran to Qiu Jing and looked at the land in the distance, looking surprised, "Are you almost home?"
Ale also ran out after hearing the sound, "Here?"
Peng Wu hugged Xiaoyue, looked ahead, and sighed long. Finally, she was about to leave the sea. Since she was taken to the island many years ago, every time she had a nightmare, the dream was endless sea, no direction, no boat, and not even a piece of driftwood. She always felt that she was going to be swallowed by the sea... After leaving this time, she didn't want to see the sea again in her life, which was a terrible nightmare for her.
Qiu Cong happily pointed the children in a direction, saying that going forward would not be the sea, but a river connected to the sea. On both sides of the river were two cities of the former Qian Kingdom, one called Nanshan City and the other called Kashyapa City. They went to Kashyapa City to rest today, and then set off back to the capital tomorrow.
"Are our grandfather and grandfather in the capital?" Ale asked.
Qiu Jing smiled, "If we are not in the capital, our house is in the capital. When you go to your grandfather's house, you will pass by our house first."
"Does there be horses in Kashyapa?" Ashin asked curiously. There are no horses on Xingluo Island, only wild animals of a small variety. They have never seen many ordinary things before.
"Of course there is." Qiu Jing rubbed their little heads, "When you get ashore, you have everything. You want to see and what you want, just tell your uncle. When you get ashore, you will take you on a horse."
Both children cheered and excited. Peng Wu couldn't help but feel a little sad when he looked at this scene, but he didn't cry. She had escaped from the sea of suffering and it would be a good life in the future.
At noon, the boat hit the shore.
After the guards on the coast discovered them, they thought they were enemies and quickly took alert, and then they heard Qiu Jing's shouting.
"It's General Qiu who is back!"
Hearing the sound on the shore, the twins looked at Qiu Jing and admired, "Uncle Qiu is a general! It's so amazing!"
Qiu Jing said that being praised by innocent children is really satisfying. He is also looking forward to being a father, and even more missing Min Rou.
After peace came to the shore, the general stationed in Kasyapa City rushed over and heard the news. Qiu Jing asked if there were any suspicious people on the beach recently.
"A few days ago, several ships wanted to get ashore, with women and children on it. They claimed that they were caught by the people from Xingluo Island and escaped." The young general reported with a serious expression.
Qiu Jing's eyes were slightly condensed, "Is it released?"
"They said there was no food, and the children were crying. So they asked the men on the boat to tie their hands and feet, and then let the boat dock." The young general said, "After they got ashore, they arrested all the men, and put them in prison. The women and children were placed elsewhere."
Qiu Jing stretched his eyebrows, "It's done well." He told his subordinates that as long as the adult men came from the sea, they would be treated as enemies. But women and children cannot be saved. They floated on the sea without food or fresh water. They knew that there was a risk in going ashore from Kashyapa City, but they had no choice. Going far away, they might not have the fate to find the next place to go ashore.
"What news is coming to the capital recently?" Qiu Jing asked.
The young general nodded, "Doctor Su sent someone here at the beginning of the month, and there was a letter to the prince." He said that, and took out the letter and handed it to Qiu Jing.
Although it was a letter to Gu Ling, it was impossible to be a love letter at this time, and Qiu Jing could read it. He opened it directly. If nothing unexpected happened, Su Liang told Yan Shiba that she was arrested. Gu Ling and Qiu Jing still learned about this from Sheng Yue, but they did not know about it before.
There was no other news later, and Qiu Jing felt that everything should be safe in the capital and nothing else happened.
After waiting for a while, the carriage arrived.
This is also something that is not available on Xingluo Island. The twins looked at the tall horse and their eyes were bright.
Peng Wu carried Xiaoyue into the car, Qiu Cong and Qiu Jing rode a horse, put Axin and Ale in front of him, and took them with them.
The two children were a little scared at first, but soon became excited.
Peng Wu was in the car, listening to the children exclaiming that they had seen something new.
After entering Kashyapa City, the children felt like they had discovered a new world. They had only heard of this bustling and bustling street market in the middle. Qiu Cong also bought candied haws and mutton kebabs for the children.
When he arrived outside the gate of Lin Mansion, Ashin asked, "Whose home is Lin Mansion?"
"It's my friend's home, they all went to Beijing to stay here for one night." Qiu Jing held Ashin and dismounted.
Peng Wu got off the car and saw the plaque of Lin Mansion, he sighed, "I know that the Lin family was once the most famous military general family in Qian Kingdom. My grandfather fought with the old general Lin when he was young."
After settling down Peng Wu and the children to live in Lin Mansion and asked the managers of the mansion to prepare what they needed for them, Qiu Cong and Qiu Jing's grandson also went to rest.
By the time of supper, the children had already taken a shower and put on beautiful new clothes, and they looked brand new. Peng Wu also cleaned up well. She was born into a family of generals, and now she could still see a sense of perseverance between her eyebrows.
Peng Wu said to Qiu Jing, "It's safe now. If the two of you want to go back to the island to help the prince, just go, and it's okay for us to stay here and wait."
Qiu Jing knew that Peng Wu felt that it had caused trouble for them, so he shook his head when he heard this, "I don't know what's going on on the island now, so it's useless for us to go back. We should have gone home too, and my grandfather talked about the children at home every day."
Qiu Cong smiled and said, "Yes, I wish I could fly back with my wings. Girl Peng, don't think too much, just go to the capital with us."
"Thank you senior, thank you General Qiu." Peng Wu thanked me solemnly again.
After the meal, Qiu Jing said to Peng Wu, "Go with me to recognize the person you arrested before."
Peng Wu immediately responded. Qiu Cong saw that the children were very yearning for the outside world and said that they would take them out for a walk. At this moment, many shops on the street outside still had doors open.
When the young general brought Qiu Jing and Peng Wu over, he talked about the fact that someone was unwilling to tie his hands and feet up and tried to fly on the shore to break through the levels with his martial arts skills and was shot to death by arrows. The others learned their lessons. You should know that the levels near Kashyapa City and Nanshan City were built by Qiu Jing and Lao Mu, and they had been guarding here for a long time. Those who were waiting for the evil people with high martial arts skills on Xingluo Island.
These people thought that with their martial arts, they could make a comeback no matter where they went, and they would have whatever they wanted, but as soon as they got ashore, they became prisoners as soon as they got ashore, so they were naturally extremely unwilling to accept it.
Qiu Jing showed up, and Peng Wu was following him. An old man locked in a cell immediately began to shout, "My wife of the Zhong family, you testify to us. We have never done anything that hurts the world! We were originally living in seclusion on the island. If we are peaceful today, can we not be able to come out and live?"
"That's it! Why should we capture us? Is there any king's law?"
"I was also caught by Mo Yan on Xingluo Island. I finally escaped. What's wrong with me? What about my wife and children? What about you doing to them?"
...
Qiu Jing ignored those people and asked Peng Wu to tell him whether any of these people were caught on the island and did not commit any evil.
Peng Wu looked around, finally shook his head at Qiu Jing, and only said four words, "There is no good person."
Some people were arrested like Feng Ming, but now in prison have been assimilated by Xingluo Island. Peng Wu knew that he was once He Wei's tyrant. He relied on the power of the He family on the island to act as a blessing and often secretly harassed young women who were alone. Because the latter was bullied, he dared not speak out, which made that kind of person feel fearless. The man also tried to harass Peng Wu, but Peng Wu was alert and had some skills in fisting and kicking, but in the end he did not succeed.
As soon as Peng Wu said, he immediately attracted a wave of attacks and insults at her.
Qiu Jing walked out expressionlessly and told the young player, "All cut off, no one left."
Peng Wu also quickly walked out. The eyes of those people just now looked at her like jackals, tigers and leopards, and instantly evoked her nightmarish memories on the island.
Qiu Jing and Peng Wu went to see the rescued women and children. Peng Wu knew each other and comforted them and told them that they would be at ease and that someone would take them back to their original home.
Qiu Jing handed this matter to the young man who was safe in his work, and asked him to investigate where these women's homes were and whether they were willing to take their children back. If the original home was gone, or if they didn't want to go back, they would then arrange to send it to the capital together, and someone would resettle them.
The next day, the children woke up early, put on new clothes, had a delicious and hearty breakfast, and waited for departure.
Before leaving, Qiu Jing asked Qiu Cong if he wanted to leave first. Now there should be no danger on the road. Qiu Jing escorted Peng Wu and the others himself, so Qiu Cong could go home earlier.
Qiu Cong was a little moved, but refused, "It was for you at the beginning. Now I have to go back, and it's not a few days. After all, there are still girls from the Peng family and three children, so there can't be any trouble."
The group of people set off on the road, and the children were like happy birds, with endless questions and endless words, which was also very lively.
Xiaoyue no longer remembers her original parents, she is very attached to Peng Wu and completely regards Peng Wu as her biological mother. Peng Wu also feels sorry for this child, and the twins take good care of her sister.
Ashin asked Peng Wu, "Mom, will we never go back to that island again?"
Peng Wu smiled, "Mom won't go back in the future. When you grow up, if you want to go back and see where you lived when you were a child, you can go."
Ashin shook his head, "I don't want to go back either."
Ale smiled, "I'm the same as my brother!"
Qiu Cong looked at him and missed home more and more. These three children really looked like the three treasures in their family.
...
Gu Ling set out three or four days later than Qiu Jing, and the speed was faster. Therefore, two days after Qiu Jing and his group set out to the capital, Gu Ling and Sheng Yue arrived at Kashyapa City.
The young general reported the situation, and Gu Ling asked Sheng Yue to see who had been caught and killed. The rest were his tasks. Of course, he also had to judge which ones should be killed and which ones should be killed.
"You didn't ask me to start doing this now, right?" Sheng Yue frowned.
Gu Ling nodded, "It's now."
Sheng Yue was not very happy, "I came here with you, with the purpose of going to the capital to find Su Liang. I want to see with my own eyes whether the magic weapon can be regarded as the main one, not to be a slave for you."
Gu Ling looked faint, "You are not my slave, this is what you should do."
Sheng Yue frowned, "You mean, let me atone for my sins?"
"No?" Gu Ling asked back.
Sheng Yue snorted lightly and did not refute.
"I need money, people," said Sheng Yue.
Gu Ling said that the money is fine, but there is no one, "You can do it yourself."
Sheng Yue was speechless. But indeed, he did not take the people who ran on Xingluo Island seriously. He was in the dark and wanted to solve what should be solved. It was not a problem. It was just a little troublesome and had to find them first. But it was not difficult to find them. Those who wanted to go ashore alive and did not dare to come to Kashyapa City would definitely not go too far away from here, otherwise they might encounter wind and waves or have no food after being on the sea for a long time.
"You just let me go like that? Are you really not afraid that I will let go?" Sheng Yue even began to doubt whether Gu Ling had done anything to him and could track him down.
"You won't run away." Gu Ling said affirmatively. He gave Sheng Yue enough money, not just for him to spend it. If someone like Peng Wu and his son need help, he should give the money to ensure that they can survive, or find their original relatives.
Sheng Yue frowned and stuffed the silver notes into his arms, "I will go to the capital to see the final answer. To be honest, I really want to kill someone now. Let's go."
After saying that, Sheng Yue left.
Gu Ling did not intend to stay in Kashyapa City. He just came over to check the situation and ensure that Qiu Jing and his party had safely arrived and left.
