Qu Wuming looked at Lin Wanqing, as if he truly recognized the woman in front of him for the first time.
On weekdays, Lin Wanqing seemed sunny and free and easy, but it was impossible to tell that she had been living under such pressure... Listening to Lin Wanqing quietly talking about her seemingly unattainable dream, Qu Wuming suddenly felt a desire in his heart.
He had the urge to hold her in his arms to comfort her, but when he was about to raise his arm, he put his hand down again.
"You will definitely realize this dream!" Qu Wuming looked into Lin Wanqing's eyes and said solemnly.
"Well, if Brother Qu helps me, I can definitely do it!" Lin Wanqing raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, and her blooming smile seemed to melt all the ice and snow around her...

The journey back was very smooth.
Along the way, Qu Wuming seized every moment to teach Lin Wanqing's martial arts. Whenever he stopped to practice, he would drag Lin Wanqing to a secluded open space to practice martial arts. He would never let her stop until her inner strength was exhausted.
Come down and rest.
In order for her to improve as quickly as possible, Qu Wuming even took out some of the elixirs that she had used to extract bones and refine her body in the early years, ground them into powder, and gave Lin Wanqing to take them in small doses in batches. Although it was extremely painful to refine the potency,
Lin Wanqing gritted her teeth and persisted.
Lin Wanqing indeed lives up to her reputation as a genius. Although it is still very hard to travel every day, her internal strength is still growing steadily.
However, whenever he thought that there were only two months left, Qu Wuming would feel a little anxious for no reason.
If that "old man" was really Tianjizi, then Qu Wuming would have no reason to question his predictions.
Looking at the girl in front of him, who knew that her time might be numbered, but still had a bright smile on her face every day, and still worked extremely hard to fight against her fate every day, Qu Wuming often felt a surge of emotion in her heart.
Touched by the array.
Qu Wuming wanted to do something for her even more.
The previous "commandment" of not getting involved with ordinary women has been selectively forgotten by Qu Wuming.
In fact, Qu Wuming has seen so many women and gone through so many turmoils? But for some reason, when he is with Lin Wanqing now, what he always thinks about is staying with her forever, even if he will eventually be with her decades later.
She is separated from yin and yang...
Qu Wuming felt that even if he put aside the influence of the martial arts he practiced on him, he was still a wandering prodigal at heart. In the final analysis, he was still a passionate person.
But Lin Wanqing, an ordinary woman with no spiritual roots, made him want to protect her for the rest of his life in just a few days.
Fate is like this sometimes, it's hard to explain and the path is unclear.
Now that I have met, I don’t want to let go anymore…

Hulan City.
"Finally home!"
"Yeah, I have to take a good bath when I get back, I'm exhausted!"
Everyone walked happily down the street, turned around a corner, and finally arrived at the gate of Fuwei Escort Agency.
But when everyone saw the sealed and closed door, they all couldn't help but froze there.
"What's going on?!" Everyone looked at each other with doubts in their hearts.
Liu Kui felt uneasy, so he turned around and walked towards the restaurant opposite the Escort Bureau. Seeing that it was Liu Kui, the waiter at the door waved to Liu Kui and made a gesture to silence him.
Liu Kui came to the waiter's side. The waiter quickly pulled Liu Kui to the back of the store and Xiaoshuo said, "Master Liu, you are back! Something happened to your escort agency."
"What happened?" Liu Kui asked hurriedly.
"Three days ago, the City Lord's Mansion sent people to seal off your bodyguard bureau and took away Mr. Lin's head guard and all the bodyguards who were at home." The waiter said, "I heard that it seemed like half a month ago, the Young City Lord was in your bodyguard.
The escort agency entrusted a hidden escort, but it was snatched away halfway. The city lord's palace suspected that someone in your escort agency had leaked the secret and deliberately lost the escort, so they demanded compensation from the escort agency. In addition, there was also a dead escort.
The family members also demanded compensation. Mr. Lin, the bodyguard chief, couldn't raise so much money at the moment, so the city lord's palace closed the bodyguard bureau and everyone was arrested."
"This..." Liu Kui couldn't help but feel a little dizzy after hearing this, "How can we trace the matter of throwing darts after arresting everyone? Even if we pay compensation, we still have to give people space and time to move!"
"That's right!" The waiter nodded, "Fortunately, you guys came back in time. I heard that the case of the Escort Bureau is now in the Civil Affairs Department of the City Lord's Mansion. It is still more or less left for the Escort Agency to redeem people and make compensation. You should still follow Wan
Miss Qing, let’s discuss it and resolve this matter as soon as possible.”
"Thank you so much, brother Xiao Zhang!" Liu Kui looked solemn and bowed to the waiter.
"Master Liu, why are you being polite to me? Without further ado, let's discuss countermeasures!"
"Thank you very much! Farewell!"
Liu Kui saluted again, turned back to the crowd, briefly repeated what the waiter said, and then dismissed all the ordinary bodyguards, leaving only Lin Wanqing, Qu Wuming and the other two core bodyguards.
own home.
After some discussion, everyone divided into two groups and left Liu Kui's house.
Liu Kui and two bodyguards secretly sneaked into the dark alley next to the Fuwei Bodyguard Agency and climbed over the wall to look for clues about the missing secret bodyguard. Qu Wuming accompanied Lin Wanqing to the Civil Affairs Department of the City Lord's Mansion, planning to first
Meet Lin Yuan in prison.
————
After spending some money, she finally entered the prison of the Civil Affairs Bureau. Lin Wanqing finally met her father Lin Yuan and all the uncles in the escort agency.
Although they have been imprisoned for three days, after all, it is only a civil case involving compensation, and Lin Yuan and others have not suffered much torture. As for the Young City Lord, what they are currently asking for is only a huge compensation for the loss of the escort, and they have not asked for it at all.
The matter of chasing the dart back.
"Dad! Big brother, second brother!" Seeing her father in a dark and damp prison, Lin Wanqing couldn't help but burst into tears, and rushed forward in three steps at a time.
Lin Yuan and his two sons were locked in a cage. Seeing Lin Wanqing suddenly appear, they hurriedly stood up and came over. The four of them looked at each other in silence, with tears streaming down their faces.
Seeing the four of them shedding tears across the fence, Qu Wuming, who was not far away, couldn't help but clear his throat. Lin Wanqing then remembered that time was limited and there were still important things to ask. She quickly stopped her sadness and wiped her tears and asked:
"Dad, I heard that you lost a secret dart entrusted by the young city lord. Can you tell Qing'er the details? I will find a way to rescue you!"
Lin Yuan wiped his tears and glanced at Qu Wuming behind Lin Wanqing. Seeing that his daughter seemed to have no intention of introducing this person, he sighed and said, "That's it..."
"More than half a month ago, the young city lord came to our escort agency with a servant and said that there was something we needed to escort to Wancheng." Lin Yuan recalled, "I was a little surprised at the time. The city lord's mansion had a lot of things.
Why would a Taoist who can fly into the sky and escape from the earth come to the escort agency to ask for escorts? So I asked the young city lord."
"He said that the thing he wanted to transport was not something that monks could transport by ordinary means, but it was very important, so he asked the escort to transport it secretly. Although I was a little confused, considering that the client was the young city lord, it was really inconvenient to refuse.
And the reward they offered was very considerable, so I took the escort."
Lin Wanqing asked: "Dad, do you know what they are consigning?"
"I don't know." Lin Yuan shook his head and said, "All we can see is a lead box about the size of a foot, which is very heavy. It has a seal and the talisman of the city lord's palace on it, so we don't dare to open it at will."
"A lead box?" Lin Wanqing heard this and turned to look at Qu Wuming with confusion on her face, only to see that Qu Wuming was also frowning and thinking about something.
At this time, Lin Wanqing remembered that she had been so excited just now that she had forgotten to introduce Qu Wuming.
"By the way, dad, this is Qu Wuming, Brother Qu. When we passed by Luanshigang this time, we encountered Tian Boguang, Wei Guo and several other bandits blocking the way. If Brother Qu hadn't come to the rescue, I'm afraid we would all have turned back.
Not coming." For some reason, when Lin Wanqing introduced everyone to each other, she felt her cheeks were a little hot and her voice was a little strange, "Brother Qu, this is my father, Lin Yuan, these two are my eldest brothers.
Lin Fengqing, second brother Lin Baiqing."
Lin Yuan saw Lin Wanqing's suddenly blushing cheeks at a glance. A strange feeling came to his mind, but after hearing the two names "Tian Boguang, Wei Guo", he already guessed that Qu Wuming must be at least a Grandmaster.
Otherwise, how could he have rescued Lin Wanqing and others from those two people? He hurriedly cupped his fists and saluted, "Lin is so polite! Thank you, Brother Qu, for your help in rescuing my little girl!"
Qu Wuming cupped his fists and returned the greeting: "Mr. Lin, there's no need to be polite! It was Miss Lin who saved me on the road first, and everything that follows is just Miss Lin's blessing."
Lin Yuan wanted to say a few more polite words, but Tingqu Wuming continued to ask: "Mr. Lin, head escort, can you describe the characteristics of the lead box more? Is there anything unusual about it?"
"What's unusual?" Lin Yuan looked back at his two sons, thinking about it as if he hadn't discovered anything.
But Lin Baiqing said at this time: "I took the escort out this time, and the things were always placed on my horse."
Qu Wuming's eyes fell on Lin Boqing and found that Lin Boqing seemed to be injured and his expression was a little depressed.
Just listen to Lin Boqing say: "There should be something soft lined inside the lead box. If you shake it hard, you can feel that there seems to be something the size of a fist in the middle. It is not light. Moreover, when the sword is close to the lead box, it seems to have a suction force.
It spreads like a magnet."
"Maybe it's the power of Yuan Magnet. No wonder they can't transport it away with the shuttle..." Hearing this, Qu Wuming already made an inference in his mind.
"Second brother, does anyone know about your escort business?" Lin Wanqing asked.
"Young City Master said that this escort is very valuable and requires us to keep it highly confidential. Therefore, except for the father who received the escort and the five people who delivered it, no one else in our escort agency knew about it." Lin Baiqing replied, "Moreover, at that time, the young master
The city lord came with a lead box to support the escort, so we set off without any delay after receiving the escort."
"So, it is impossible for our escort agency to leak the news about this escort?" Lin Wanqing frowned.
"That's natural." Lin Baiqing nodded, "Furthermore, only my father and I know the route of sending the escort. I haven't even told the other four people."
"But it's a pity that Bai Qing and the others were attacked on a mountain road." Lin Yuan said solemnly, "If Bai Qing hadn't been slapped off the cliff and luckily landed on a tree crown, I'm afraid it would have been you
I can no longer see him."
Hearing this, Lin Wanqing looked at her second brother and couldn't help but feel a sense of fear in her heart. Her heart suddenly sank, and she covered her mouth and said, "Then the person who robbed the escort..."
Just when Lin Wanqing's eyes met Lin Yuan's, a burst of chaotic footsteps suddenly came from the direction of the prison entrance...
