No one expected that their return would be so sudden and so ordinary.
You must know that at the beginning, the third princess led a thousand black cavalry troops and several disciples from various sects to the Great Wilderness.
The lineup is strong and the momentum is magnificent!
But now, it's really surprising.
Lu Shan and others were also very puzzled.
According to the plan, the third princess and the others should be back in about a month, but how long is it now
Moreover, it stands to reason that they would be notified before coming back.
But they didn't receive any news.
If they hadn't seen the teleportation array rotating, they wouldn't have known that they were back!
Shangguan Wan's face was covered with scars, which could not be covered up with a veil.
In desperation, I had to use a hood to cover it up again.
In this way, although the appearance is a bit strange, it can be completely covered.
Overtly and secretly, how many pairs of eyes in Xiling were looking at her!
Once her disfigured appearance is seen by others, who knows what kind of storm will be caused!
Therefore, even though this appearance would lead to speculation and discussion, she still insisted on it.
I wanted to take a carriage back to the palace, but their return was too sudden, and it would definitely be too late at this time.
After the explanation, Shangguan Wan walked forward directly.
Jiang Yucheng walked half a step behind her and walked with her.
The remaining black cavalry and the disciples of various sects dispersed after a brief period of silence.
This scene is actually very embarrassing.
The onlookers looked at each other in shock.
"What's going on? Just...just broke up like that?"
"I thought I would come back in glory. This is different from what I expected!"
"Don't you see that the Black Cavalry Army has lost a lot of people? There also seem to be a lot of fewer disciples from the sect."
"It seems to be true! Looking at it this way, it seems that there must be three to four hundred people in the Black Cavalry who have not returned."
"Hiss—this trip to the wilderness, the casualties were so heavy?!"
"It was meant to be a dangerous place. This result is normal, right? In the past, when Vice General Mu led the army, more than half of them were killed or injured."
"But at that time, it was the Dahuangze Rebellion. Now that the Dahuangze has been pacified, is it a little strange to continue to do this? The third princess looked at it, and it was a little strange. But since it was so tragic, it must have been that a lot of medicinal materials that His Majesty needed were obtained. Is that so?"
Everyone was talking in low voices.
Various sounds continued to reach Shangguan Wan's ears.
Anger surged in her chest, and all the blood in her body almost rushed to her head!
The face under the veil was torn apart again by the ferocious pain.
This made her even more annoyed.
Those words were like invisible slaps on her face!
She quickened her pace.
Later, Mu Qinghe did not leave with him, but was still looking after the Black Cavalry.
After Lu Shanggong sent Shangguan Wan and others away, he looked at Mu Qinghe with doubts and some apprehension.
"Lieutenant general, why didn't you notify me in advance when you came back this time? This welcome was too hasty."
Mu Qinghe shook his head.
"Please keep this in mind, so I didn't have time to inform you, so don't bother me. You immediately send people to bring the injured black cavalry soldiers back to recover. In addition, Tian Zhuangzhuang and the others will report the casualties to you. I’ll leave it to you to deal with their aftermath.”
Lu Shan's heart sank when he heard this:
"I will obey your orders!"
He raised his eyes and quickly glanced around, discovering that the number of casualties might be much higher than previously expected.
His heart became heavier and heavier.
Dahuangze is indeed full of dangers, but it has actually become much better since Mu Qinghe led troops to put down the rebellion a few years ago.
Logically speaking, this would not happen.
But he didn't dare to ask any more questions and had to follow Mu Qinghe's instructions.
As for the disciples of other sects, the situation is not much better.
They are not the same as the Black Cavalry.
The Black Riders are an army, and their duty is to obey.
However, the relationship between the various sects and the Tianling royal family is not completely submissive.
They respect the Tianling royal family, and at the same time, the Tianling royal family also respects them accordingly.
Those who can enter these sects are undoubtedly geniuses.
What's more, the ones chosen to go to the Great Wilderness this time are even more outstanding.
Nowadays, the deaths and injuries are a great loss to their respective sects.
"Why are there only three people in the Zixiao Sword Sect? When they went there, weren't there ten of them? They suffered the most serious losses, right?"
"Other sects also suffered casualties, but none of them were like them."
"I think wait a minute, where are the people from Chongxu Pavilion? Why haven't they shown up yet?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was quiet for a moment.
Countless eyes quickly searched around the field, and indeed no one in Chongxu Pavilion was seen.
There were only three people in Chongxu Pavilion, and Chu Liuyue and Qiang Wanzhou had become famous recently, so they attracted special attention.
But now, none of them showed up.
"Are all the people in Chongxu Pavilion"
In the crowd, someone didn't know who said something in a low voice.
The rest was left unsaid, but everyone knew what it meant.
Everyone's expressions became complicated and subtle, and their eyes had different colors.
Chongxu Pavilion finally produced two top geniuses. Did they really fall away
Without Chu Liuyue and Qiang Wanzhou's Chongxu Pavilion, the future situation will definitely become more difficult!
Chunfeng Tower.
In the private room, Shui Liuer and Jian Fengchi were sitting facing each other by the window.
Shui Liu'er held the pipa but didn't play it. She just looked at Jian Fengchi opposite and asked:
"So, everything went well?"
"If I personally take action, there won't be any problems."
Jian Fengchi leaned lazily on the back of the chair, his eyebrows raised slightly, with undisguised pride and arrogance.
Shui Liu'er sneered:
"Those two are not in Xiling, so it will be much easier for you to do things."
Jian Fengchi did not deny it.
When his father urged him to go to Dahuangze, he refused to go no matter what, and wanted to stay in Xiling. Isn't this the reason
"Anyway, things are making good progress now. Next, as long as-"
There was a sudden noise on the street outside the window.
Jian Fengchi immediately fell silent.
Shui Liu'er opened the window and glanced down, a look of shock flashed across her face.
"Black Cavalry?"
Jian Fengchi heard something was wrong, so he leaned over and took a look, then frowned:
"Why—Shangguan Wan is back!?"
On the wide street, black cavalry troops were placed on both sides to maintain security, and several figures were walking from the middle.
Although the person in front of him was wearing a cloak and a veil, Jian Fengchi recognized him at a glance: it was Shangguan Wan!
Next to her was Jiang Yucheng.
Behind the two of them were several people who were waiting on them, all of them keeping a close but not far distance.
"Shouldn't they be back in about a month? Why now-"
Shui Liu'er spoke doubtfully.
Jian Fengchi narrowed his eyes:
"It should be a big celebration for His Majesty to return from searching for medicine. Why is she so timid?"
After speaking, he said with a flick of his finger:
"I want to see if she has any guilty conscience when she covers her so tightly!"
