, compared to Chi Chaan's situation in Xi Kingdom, An Ruoran, who has returned to Gui, is also implementing her plan.
After Chi Chao left, there was no threat from the soldiers and horses of the Huang country in the Gui country. There was also a trade treaty signed with the Huang country. All kinds of fine porcelain and tea were flowed into the Huang country for sale, which brought conditions for the economic prosperity of the Gui country.
For some unknown reason, the people of Huangguo are still obsessed with tea from Guiguo, and even regard making tea as something that only high-ranking people can enjoy.
There are only four gates in Yongcheng, east, west, north and south. Due to the tea trade, merchants and people from the Huang country and Gui country enter the city in an endless stream every day. From time to time, the city gates will be blocked, and the city guards guarding the gates will yell. It took a while to clear the traffic jam, but there was still a long queue coming from the city gate.
On a high ground outside the city gate, An Ruoran stood, looking down at the city.
At her feet, there is an ant nest. Outside the ant nest are busy worker ants, and the queen ant is sitting peacefully in the ant nest.
An Ruoran raised his foot and crushed the ant nest without any explanation. The worker ants outside the ant nest didn't know what this behemoth had done to their home, but they were still "working" diligently.
An Ruoran raised his head and looked at Yongcheng again, and smiled.
"Yongcheng, long time no see."
After returning to the Gui Kingdom, An Ruoran had the lofty ambition to regain the Zigui Anbo Mansion.
Now, she has the power, and she is not the girl who was at the mercy of others before. She will no longer be unable to keep her child because of lack of power; she will no longer turn from a wife into a concubine because of lack of power; Having no strength, he watched helplessly as his father committed suicide in front of him, just to save himself.
An Ruoran did not jump in line, but stood in the long queue, waiting from morning until evening before she could get close to the city gate.
Although the sergeants guarding the city gate were lazy, they were still wary of those who entered the city with weapons.
After receiving the letter to the city prepared by An Ruoran, the sergeant opened it and read it, and couldn't help but frown.
"Zi Gui'an, the daughter of An Shi, Ruoran..."
This reminded the sergeant of an incident that caused turmoil in Yong City before, but he also thought that this woman was not a very strong practitioner. Even if she held a silver sword, she could not kill that big shot.
"Go in." The sergeant waved his hand and put An Ruoran into the city.
The corridor of the city gate of Yong City is very long, so the road into the city is very dark. When An Ruoran appeared in the light again, the originally hidden realm returned to the body.
In order to enter the city, she had to suppress her realm to the mastery level.
After entering the city, she didn't need to hide herself again.
Even if the holy master of the sword tower discovers the Qi machine, so what? As a native of Gui, she would naturally not do anything to disgrace Gui.
The lights began to be lit, illuminating the streets that were still full of pedestrians. An Ruoran was holding a silver sword and walking among the people on the streets of Yongcheng, Gui State.
Every place gave her a familiar feeling that made her cry uncontrollably.
The most painful thing in life is that when you return to the place where you came from, the person waiting for you is no longer there.
In the once huge Zigui Anbo Mansion, few people can still stay in Yong City. Many people have been sent to the fringes, and more have died in the great change five years ago.
Wipe away tears, people always have to look forward.
An Ruoran stopped thinking about the past and prepared to leave to visit his original home.
Suddenly, An Ruoran smelled the smell of alcohol coming towards her. It was a young man from a prominent family in Gui who had just finished drinking wine in a brothel and was walking home while enjoying the occasion.
These noble gentlemen were walking at night and met An Ruoran who was looking back sadly at the past. The tearful An Ruoran aroused the interest of these noble gentlemen. They were already thinking about this woman lying in their arms. The way it looks inside.
One person starts, and soon others follow.
These noble men formed a circle to prevent their chosen prey from easily escaping. Their eyes were like hungry wolves looking at the girl in purple clothes who made people's hearts beat at the first sight.
After being surrounded by these noble men, the smell of alcohol came from all directions. An Ruoran covered her nose and pretended to hate them, which made these noble men feel very unhappy.
"What? My little lady is alone outside? Are you lonely? Why don't you come out and find a man to pamper yourself?" Among the noble gentlemen, a wretched-looking man said with a smile.
"Go away! If you want to find a woman, go to a brothel!" An Ruoran cursed.
"How dare you scold us! Do you know who we are? Do you know you can't offend us?"
"You can leave now before I'm angry." An Ruoran didn't want to say anything to these drunkards. As long as they didn't cross that line, nothing would happen.
The eyes of several noble gentlemen exchanged for a few times. This was their secret code. They had used this method countless times to drag the civilian girls they liked into the dark alleys of Yongcheng and tortured them one by one. , as long as no lives are lost, all they lose is a compensation that cannot hurt their financial backbone.
They do this not for the pleasure of courting girls; rather, they are seeking the thrill of committing crimes on the street after experiencing the prostitutes who take the initiative to throw themselves into your arms and are at your mercy in bed.
One person quickly took action to snatch away the silver sword in An Ruoran's hand. The other person with arms as muscular as an ox stretched out his hands to clamp An Ruoran's hands. Another person prepared a cloth bag on his body for convenience. They put a cap on the victim's head to prevent him from knowing who was doing the violence...
What they didn't know was that in An Ruoran's eyes, these little moves were like children playing house, which had no effect on her at all. Instead, they angered An Ruoran.
If An Ruoran had chosen the set of exercises [Red Lotus Grows in the Sea of Desire] when he was in the Desolate Country, perhaps these noble gentlemen today would have nothing to do and would still have feelings of admiration for An Ruoran. Because he is in perfect harmony with those who practice [Red Lotus in the Sea of Desire], the pleasure he enjoys is not the kind that ordinary women can bring to men, but that of a fairy.
Unfortunately, An Ruoran learned the [White Lotus Sea of Frozen Souls] to isolate himself from all desires.
These noble gentlemen were on the receiving end of a gun.
"Master, we just like strong women like you!" One person suddenly shouted, and the remaining people quickly took action.
"Alas!" An Ruoran sighed.
The ants' ignorance may be one of the reasons why they are always picked up and crushed to death.
The silver sword was unsheathed in an instant, and then re-sheathed again. There was a sound during this period, which showed how quickly An Ruoran drew the sword.
Look at the young gentlemen surrounding her, some have broken fingers, some are missing eyes, and some have their lives stabbed...
The noble prince screamed in the street, and everyone's attention also focused on them, but An Ruoran had already disappeared.
An Ruoran came to the south of Yong City, followed the streets she had walked before, and finally saw the willow tree growing outside the courtyard. It was planted by her father An Shi together with her. Unexpectedly, no one had taken care of it for five years. After fertilizing it, it will grow stronger than during the period of time when it was cared for and fertilized.
Perhaps it is because of the ups and downs that I have experienced such growth.
After seeing the willow tree and walking a few steps, there was a stone street that could accommodate two carriages. As long as she could remember, she had seen this road crowded with carriages, all of whom wanted to see her father.
Nowadays, there are no more cars and horses, and even few pedestrians.
In the past, one of the majestic stone lions that she had ridden to guard the house and guard the house was now missing, and the other one only had half of its body left, and the stone at its head had long gone.
A sad expression appeared repeatedly on An Ruoran's face, and she was in a very low mood now.
She walked to the door of Zigui Amber Mansion, stroked the big brass lock that had lost its paint, and murmured: "Don't panic, don't panic, I'm back, I will make you look brand new and return to the past." of brilliance."
Without stopping too much, An Ruoran didn't even look back when he left. She is so determined, and in the days to come, she will be even more determined than before.
Walking out of the street, An Ruoran sat down at a noodle stall. In the past, his father An Shi would buy a bowl of scallion oil from this noodle stall every time he came home from the morning holiday.
She brought the noodles back to her after finishing her evening classes. Although she didn’t like scallion noodles very much, but preferred mushroom and shredded chicken noodles. More than once, she followed her father, An Shi, who watched her eating noodles in front of her. He said that he likes to eat shredded mushroom and chicken noodles, and asked him to bring back a bowl of mushroom and shredded chicken noodles when he goes home next time, but Anshi always forgets that he bought a bowl of scallion oil noodles.
Every time when her father brought back a steaming bowl of noodles, but it was not her favorite noodles, even though An Ruoran said she wouldn't eat it even if she killed her, she would still obediently put the green onions in front of her father. There was no oil noodles left.
Because An Ruoran knew that it was his father who was thinking about his mother.
For many years, the prime minister whose wife died young did not marry again. Although there were people who enthusiastically acted as matchmakers for him every time, when he looked at the girl playing in the corner, he couldn't help but shake his head, apologized and refused repeatedly.
Watching An Ruoran eat noodles, especially a bowl of scallion noodles, made An Shi feel that his wife was not dead.
Before he became an official, he would often study late at night and his stomach would growl with hunger. His wife would always appear before he wanted to drink cold water to satisfy his hunger, bringing him a steaming bowl of scallion noodles to fill his stomach.
After this happened frequently, he prepared a small bowl on his desk. When his married wife brought a steaming bowl of scallion noodles, he was not enjoying it alone, but It's one and a half.
The two of them were sitting at a small table eating noodles. An Shi looked at his wife opposite him, eating noodles in small bites, with a satisfied expression on his face with every bite. At that moment, An Shi felt that the pain of studying was worth it. .
Later he found out that the reason why he had a bowl of noodles to eat at night, even though it was the cheapest scallion noodles, was because his wife saved her dinner money to buy it.
