Aunt Zhen looked at Ling Xuewei, who was walking back from a distance, with a unhappy expression.
Ling Xuewei said calmly, "If you can't sleep, just take a walk."
"Girls, it's best not to run around casually at night, lest you be spotted and dragged away by monsters."
Ling Xuewei walked into the tent directly. Seeing her ignoring her, Grandma Zhen looked a little unhappy.
Grandma Zhen glanced at the direction in which Ling Xuewei came back. That...should be the way out of the town, right?
What was she doing in the wild?
In order to investigate clearly, Grandma Zhen went there in person. She went to the wild woods and searched for a long time. She only saw some messy footprints and nothing else.
The cold wind blows and the leaves rustle.
The shadows of the trees were whirling, and the shaking shadows on the ground were like ghosts.
Grandma Zhen was so excited that she had a faint feeling that her hair was standing on end. She did not dare to stay any longer and hurriedly returned to the town.
The next day.
evening.
The group finally arrived at the Eastern Territory.
Before it got dark, we entered the Great Wall.
Tianshui City.
When Ling Xuewei set foot on this familiar city again, she felt like she was in a dream.
Looking at the tall and majestic Great Wall, reaching into the sky, her eyes felt sore.
Finally...back.
Ah Yan, I'm back.
wait for me.
…
Tianshui City Station.
Ling Xuewei and her party were arranged to a post house specially designed to receive distinguished guests.
Because the Alliance Conference is approaching, the Eastern Region has welcomed many guests from far away these days. They come from all directions to attend the Alliance Conference.
Because Tianshui City is the first city when entering the Eastern Region, it needs to receive many guests.
Even the inns in the city were almost full, packed with people who came to watch the excitement. Without an invitation, it would be difficult to find a place to stay.
The Haotian Sect naturally has a place to live.
After entering Tianshui City, Gu Hao separated from the Qilin Army.
Because the Qilin Army was going to return to life, Ling Xuewei and his party were handed over to the people who came to greet them, and then left.
Before leaving, I took a look here.
Soon, the Qilin Army left.
Ling Xuewei went to the room and sent Xuezhi and the other maids out.
First wash off your tiredness and put on new clothes.
Finally arriving in the Eastern Region, it was time for her to think about the next step.
That night, she met Deputy Lieutenant Jing, but she did not identify herself.
To the world, Mrs. Ninth has long been a "dead person". It is extremely unwise to expose herself at will without anything to prove her identity.
It should be said that she originally gave the other party the code as a bet.
Bet someone can decipher it.
Through this observation, Ling Xuewei discovered that Deputy Lieutenant Jing was very skilled. She could only guess that there was a higher chance that Deputy Lieutenant Jing had learned code interpretation, so she decided to test him.
Unexpectedly, her bet was right.
Ling Xuewei just told Jingjie'an that she was on a mission and was back to work. Unfortunately, she lost contact with her superiors. Due to her previous injury, her cultivation was temporarily lost. She didn't say much else.
Jing Jiian was naturally suspicious at first, but after asking a few questions, he found that the person in front of him knew everything about the internal affairs of the army, the hierarchy, and even the core of the upper echelons!
The more he was tempted, the more shocked he felt.
Jing Jiian became more and more confused about this woman's identity.
Because someone who knows so many secrets in the military is by no means an ordinary person.
And Jing Jiian has never seen this woman, nor heard of her name... There is only one possibility.
This is the identity of this woman, which is higher.
Far higher than he imagined.
And this woman only asked for one thing, which was to take her to see the person in charge of Tuishui City.
Ling Xuewei has been "sleeping" for three years. She doesn't know who is in charge of Tianshui City now, so she didn't name her.
Right now, she could only hope it was someone she knew.
Ling Xuewei took a shower and put on clean clothes.
When I came to the window and looked down from above, I saw that the street was very lively with people coming and going.
The bustling streets are free of desolation and devastation. They are bustling with traffic and full of light, just like the prosperous and peaceful era before the disaster. There is no trace left by the war.
But only people in the military know that there is a military bunker every ten kilometers.
Perhaps what people are stepping on are underground military caves.
Patrol soldiers can be seen everywhere, familiar silver armors, familiar streets and shops...but a bit unfamiliar.
Some places have changed a lot from what she thought. The Great Wall is stronger and taller. It can be seen that it has been rebuilt.
Ling Xuewei remembered that when she "left", they had not yet taken back Tianshui City. She did not expect that when she came back, the place would be turned upside down.
Xuezhi's voice came from outside, and Ling Xuewei asked her to come in.
Xuezhi brought snacks.
"girl……"
Xuezhi hesitated, "I haven't thanked the girl for saving my life that day."
"I didn't save you, so there's no need to thank me."
Xuezhi was surprised, "But it was indeed a girl before..."
Suddenly meeting Ling Xuewei's sweeping eyes, she swallowed the words she spoke.
That look is so cold.
It was so cold that she could no longer say a word.
Ling Xuewei stood up and walked over, raising her hand to hold her head.
"You are a good girl, you should know what to say and what not to say."
Those blue eyes are cold and cool.
Xuezhi's heart was beating wildly, "...Yes, yes, I understand."
"Um."
Ling Xuewei stood up, and the pressure immediately dissipated.
Xuezhi felt that her legs were a little weak. She never thought that the girl who was usually friendly would have such an imposing side.
That feeling was even stronger than when she faced the sect leader.
Xuezhi was also a smart person and understood what Ling Xuewei meant. Naturally, she kept silent about what happened that night and would not reveal it to anyone.
Xuezhi quickly adjusted her mentality. At this time, there was a knock on the door, and the maid came to report that the sect leader and his wife invited Ling Xuewei to come downstairs for dinner.
"I know, I'll go down right away."
Ling Xuewei said.
moment.
Ling Xuewei went downstairs.
"Miss Ye is here, sit down quickly."
The main hall on the first floor is very large. It is now a hotel, so there are many people eating there.
These people were all invited to attend the alliance meeting. Their seats were by the window. Only Shen was seen at the table. As for Gu Hao... he seemed to be talking to a few acquaintances.
"Miss Ye, come and sit down. I'm waiting for you."
Mrs. Shen enthusiastically asked Ling Xuewei to sit down, with a dignified smile, "The master is chatting with acquaintances, so we don't have to wait for her. By the way, there will be a bonfire banquet in the square in the evening, girl, will you come with us?"
"Bonfire party?"
"Yes, during the alliance conference, bonfire feasts will be held in every city for half a month. Miss Ye is from the Eastern Region, so she should know this custom, right?"
Looking with probing eyes, Ling Xuewei smiled lightly and remained silent.
