Chapter 455: Departure

already in so much pain that she couldn't speak, so she simply turned her head the other way to avoid seeing. 。She felt the person beside her leave, the bed sinking slightly. She let out a small sigh...Xiao Long saw that she looked different and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong, Miss Do you know Young Master Yi"

Qin Luoyan came back to her senses, a faint smile playing on her lips. "If I'm not mistaken, it should be an old acquaintance of mine"

" "Oh 。Xiaolong didn't think it was strange that Qin Luoyan knew Young Master Yi at all. After all, Qin Luoyan was a top-tier craftsman, and a top-tier craftsman knowing another top-tier craftsman wasn't unusual, was it "By the way, what about Yin Qi, the Grand Minister of Nan Yue" Qin Luoyan asked again. 。When I first heard about Yin Qi, I was a bit confused. 。My people have inquired in Nanyue. It is said that Yin Qi has fallen gravely ill and returned home to recuperate. 。Yin Qi's hometown is a small town in the south of Nan Yue country. I asked people there to inquire about it, but you guess what There are actually troop movements in the south of Nan Yue country. 。Qin Luoyan's face was startled, a heavy look appeared on her face. She knew Yin Qi had always been ambitious; otherwise, Fu Zimu and he wouldn't have been constantly fighting in court. Now that Fu Zimu was dead, it seemed like all the forces couldn't help but become restless. 。Yin Qi, who had been enduring for so long, finally chose to take action when the Southern Yue and Beiming nations were about to go to war With Fu Zi Mo gone, could the Southern Yue nation really withstand Yin Qi's internal rebellionQin Luo Yan's silence caused Xiao Long's heart to skip a beat, "It seems the young lady and I thought the same thing, that Yin Qi's wolfish ambition has finally come to fruition." 。But Miss Qin, you mustn't worry too much. Nanyue still has many great generals, like your father...” "My father Is he leading the troops south this time" Qin Luoyan was startled and a little surprised... 。Xiao Long nodded, "Yes" 。Now that the Nan Yue and Bei Ming Kingdoms are on the brink of war, most generals have been dispatched to the border. At this critical juncture, Yin Qi rose in rebellion. Thankfully, Emperor Fu Ziheng of Nan Yue had foreseen this, but with most generals deployed, there were few left behind. Therefore, your father was sent south. 。Is it a coincidence Qin Luoyan couldn't help but feel a bit wistful. She knew Yin Qi's feelings for her, and if anyone else had been sent to the south, Yin Qi wouldn't have shown any mercy. But he specifically chose to send her father, Qin Tiancheng!She always felt that the recent events were like a large net being spread, gathering everyone into it. This feeling was suffocating, yet she felt helpless and unable to do anything about it. 。At night, the wind was a bit cool. Perhaps the window was forgotten to be closed. All night long, Qin Luoyan slept very restlessly. 。In her dream, she seemed to vaguely see Fu Zimo. He was sitting by the bed, gently stroking her cheek with his warm hands. That warmth was so real, that for a moment, tears welled up in her eyes. 。But when she opened her eyes, the room was pitch black, only Nie Wan's faint breathing proving the reality of the moment. 。It turns out, it was all just a dream. 。She chuckled self-deprecatingly, but even if it was a dream, being able to see him in her dreams made her feel incredibly precious. She even fantasized about making this dream last forever. 。She closed her eyes again, anticipating that in her dream, those warm palms would appear once more...Early morning found the inn's courtyard bustling with activity. The three families were busy packing their belongings, and Qin Luoyan was awakened by the noise. 。When Qin Luoyan finished tidying up and came to the front hall, the three major families were almost ready. In the private room, Rong Ye, Ling Shu, and Li Yunfan had already sat at the table waiting for her breakfast. 。Seeing her arrive, Rong Ye was the most enthusiastic in welcoming her to sit down. 。She smiled faintly and chose a spot to sit down. 。Everyone who served her looked at her with admiration in their eyes. Perhaps after so many years, as an unknown woman, she could eat with the heads of the three prominent families on equal footing. This honor was truly unparalleled. 。At the table, Rong Ye was still the main focus. The man in his fifties had seen and heard a lot, and he was good at adjusting the atmosphere. So most of the time, everyone listened to him talk, while Ling Shu and Li Yunfan only occasionally chimed in. 。As for Qin Luoyan, she just silently ate her own meal, treating the onlookers like a complete show. 。It takes about two days to travel from the small town to Gengjin's source, a treasure trove deep in the desert. After finishing breakfast, the group set off on their journey. 。The townspeople, seeing these people streaming toward the gold mining area, seemed to understand a lot. But this was a society of survival of the fittest. If you wanted a piece of the pie, you had to have the skills. Otherwise, going there was just signing your own death warrant. 。So most people just watched them leave with envious eyes, only a few brave souls secretly followed behind. 。However, the outcome was as expected. Those who followed after were dealt with by the masters of the hidden families within half a day at most. Their bodies were thrown back to the entrance of the town, serving as a warning to those with ill intentions. The rest of the townspeople who still harbored any thoughts of rebellion quickly suppressed them. 。After a day's journey, it was time to rest at night. Qin Luoyan and Ni Wan rested in the set-up tent. Xiao Long brought them food, a roasted leg of lamb 。Xiao Long just used his dagger to cut a piece and gave it to Qin Luo Yan, when he heard some arguing sounds outside the tent. 。Qin Luoyan frowned, passed the roasted leg of lamb to Ni Wan, and then got up and walked out. 。She stepped out of the tent and saw that the argument was coming from a distance where they were roasting mutton. It wasn't just servants from one family berating the person in charge of the grilling. 。That roast on the fire was a whole sheep, but most of the good cuts of meat had already been taken. What was left wasn't very good, and the two attendants who received their portions got even worse scraps—just small pieces from the sheep's belly. They were resentful. 。Such trivial matters, Qin Luoyan didn't want to involve herself in. However, for some reason, looking at the elderly man responsible for roasting the sheep with his hunched back, she couldn't help but walk over. 。“You old geezer, if it weren't for the lamb you roasted at the inn yesterday that my master enjoyed immensely, we wouldn't have broken protocol to bring you three here specifically to roast lamb for us! Do you know who we are Roasting lamb for us is a fortune you could never dream of in your lifetimes. And you, look what you gave us! Don't think just because we're servants that we're insignificant. Even the lowest laborer in our family is treated with respect by everyone. With our status, every meal would be served with fine wine and delicacies. Yet, you dare to give us this kind of meat!”The speaker wore white, was about twenty years old, and spoke arrogantly. One could see from his face that he had been pampered for a long time. 。As it is, the main families of those three hidden families, each one on this continent thinks they are superior to others. 。If you think "Fu Zi Mo Qin Luo Yan" is good, please paste the following URL to share with your QQ, WeChat or Weibo friends, thank you for your support!

Only a muff...
