Try It

At the moment when the sun was rising, Qiu Jing saw the land from afar and breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, he didn't know what the situation was like on Xingluo Island after he left, but he was responsible for escorting Peng Wu and the three children home. He was worried about the wind and rain on the sea, but this time he was lucky. The weather was good for several consecutive days and there were no wind and waves.

Peng Wu's two sons were originally surnamed Zhong, but she had changed their names to Peng, including the little girl she had decided to adopt. The twin brother is now called Peng Jiaxin, the younger brother is Peng Jiale, and the younger sister is Peng Jiayue. "Jia" was originally the middle name that Peng Weiding had decided to use for the children of this generation.

Qiu Jing looked back and saw a little boy coming out of the cabin, smiling and calling him, "Le Le, look, we're here soon."

The little boy shook his head seriously, "Uncle Jing, I'm Xin'er."

Qiu Jing was stunned for a moment, and then saw the little boy grinning, "Haha, I fooled Uncle Jing again!"

Qiu Jing held his forehead. After the two children got familiar with them, they were very keen on playing the game of "Guess who I am". To be honest, when the twins look the same, wear the same clothes, and deliberately don't want to be distinguished, it is really difficult for Qiu Jing to tell them apart.

Ah Xin ran to Qiu Jing's side, looking at the land in the distance, with a surprised look, "Are we almost home?"

Ah Le also ran out after hearing the sound, "Are we there?"

Peng Wu held Xiao Yue, looked ahead, and sighed for a long time. Finally, it was time to leave the sea. Since she was taken to the island many years ago, every time she had a nightmare, she had an endless sea in her dream, no direction, no boat, not even a piece of driftwood, and always felt that she was going to be swallowed by the sea... After leaving this time, she didn't want to see the sea again in her life, it was a terrible nightmare for her.

Qiu Cong happily pointed the direction to the children, saying that if they went further, it would not be the sea, but a river connected to the sea. On both sides of the river were two cities of the original Gan Kingdom, one called Nanshan City and the other called Jiaye City. They went to Jiaye City to rest today, and then set off to return to the capital tomorrow.

"Are our great grandfather and grandpa in the capital?" A Le asked.

Qiu Jing smiled, "Not in the capital, our home is in the capital. When you go to your grandpa's house, you will pass by our house first."

"Are there horses in Jiaye City?" A Xin asked curiously. There are no horses on Xingluo Island, only a few kinds of wild animals. Many common things, they have never seen.

"Of course there are." Qiu Jing rubbed their little heads, "Wait until you get ashore, there will be everything. Whatever you want to see, whatever you want, just tell your uncle. I will take you to ride horses when you get ashore."

The two children cheered and jumped for joy. Peng Wu looked at this scene and couldn't help but feel a little sad, but she didn't cry. She has escaped from the sea of ​​suffering, and she will have a good life in the future.

At noon, the boat docked.

After the guards on the coast found them, they thought they were enemies and quickly alerted, and then heard Qiu Jing shouting.

"General Qiu is back!"

Hearing the voice from the shore, the twins looked at Qiu Jing with admiration, "Uncle Qiu is a great general! So awesome!"

Qiu Jing said that being praised by innocent children was really satisfying. He was also looking forward to being a father, and missed Min Rou even more.

After landing safely, the general stationed in Jiaye City rushed over after hearing the news. Qiu Jing asked if there were any suspicious people on the beach recently.

"Some time ago, several ships wanted to land. There were women and children on them. They claimed to have been captured by people from Xingluo Island and escaped." The young general reported with a serious look.

Qiu Jing's eyes narrowed slightly, "Were they released?"

"They said there was no food and the children were crying, so I had the men on the boat tied up their hands and feet before I let the boat dock." The young general said, "After landing, I arrested all the men, gave them the muscle softening powder given by the prince, and put them in jail. The women and children were placed elsewhere."

Qiu Jing's brows relaxed, "Well done." He had told his subordinates that any adult men coming from the sea should be treated as enemies. But women and children cannot be left alone. Drifting on the sea, without food and fresh water, they knew that it was risky to land from Jiaye City, but they had no choice. If they went further, they might not be able to find the next place to land.

"Is there any news from the capital recently?" Qiu Jing asked.

The young general nodded, "The divine doctor Su sent someone to come at the beginning of the month with a letter to the prince." He took out the letter and handed it to Qiu Jing.

Although it was a letter to Gu Ling, it couldn't be a love letter at this time, and Qiu Jing could read it. He opened it directly. As expected, Su Liang told Yan Shiba that he was arrested for pretending to be her. Gu Ling and Qiu Jing learned about this from Sheng Yue, and they were not aware of it before.

There was no other news later. Qiu Jing felt that everything in the capital should be fine and nothing else had happened.

After waiting for a while, the carriage came.

This was also not available on Xingluo Island. The twins looked at the tall horse with bright eyes.

Peng Wu carried Xiaoyue in the car, Qiu Cong and Qiu Jing rode horses, put Axin and Ale in front of them respectively, and took them with them.

The two children were a little scared at first, but soon became excited.

Peng Wu was in the car, listening to the children exclaiming that they saw something new.

After entering Jiaye City, the children felt like they had discovered a new world. They had only heard of this bustling street market in stories. In the middle, Qiu Cong also bought candied haws and mutton skewers for the children.

When they arrived outside the gate of Lin Mansion, Axin asked, "Whose home is Lin Mansion?"

"This is my friend's home. They all went to live in the capital. Let's stay here for one night." Qiu Jing hugged Asin and dismounted.

Peng Wu got out of the car and saw the plaque of the Lin Mansion, feeling a little emotional, "I know the Lin family. The Lin family was once the most famous military general family in the Qian Kingdom. My grandfather fought against General Lin when he was young."

After settling Peng Wu and the children in the Lin Mansion and asking the housekeeper to prepare the things they needed, Qiu Cong, Qiu Jing and his grandson also went to rest.

By dinner time, the children had taken a bath and put on beautiful new clothes, looking brand new. Peng Wu also cleaned up well. She was born in a family of generals, and she can still see a strong and heroic spirit between her brows.

Peng Wu said to Qiu Jing, "It's safe now. If you two want to go back to the island to help the prince, just go. We can stay here and wait."

Qiu Jing knew that Peng Wu felt that he was causing trouble to them, so he shook his head after hearing this, "We don't know what's going on on the island now, so it's useless for us to go back. We should have gone home. My grandfather talks about the children at home every day."

Qiu Cong said with a smile, "Yes, I can't wait to get my wings and fly back. Peng family girl, you don't have to think too much, just go to the capital with us in peace."

"Thank you, senior, and thank you, General Qiu." Peng Wu solemnly thanked him again.

After the meal, Qiu Jing said to Peng Wu, "Come with me to identify the people we arrested before."

Peng Wu immediately agreed. Qiu Cong saw that the children were yearning for the outside and said that he would take them out for a walk. At this time, many shops on the streets outside were still open.

When the young general took Qiu Jing and Peng Wu there, he mentioned that some people were unwilling to tie their hands and feet obediently, and tried to fly ashore to break through the checkpoint with martial arts, but were shot to death by random arrows, and the others followed suit. You know, the checkpoints near Jiaye City and Nanshan City were built by Qiu Jing and Lao Mu, and they have been guarding them for a long time, waiting for the evil people with high martial arts skills on Xingluo Island.

These people thought that with their martial arts, they could make a comeback no matter where they went, and have whatever they wanted. However, they became prisoners as soon as they landed, and they were naturally extremely unwilling to do so.

Qiu Jing showed up, with Peng Wu beside him. Immediately, an old man who was locked up in a cell began to shout, "Daughter-in-law of the Zhong family, please testify to us that we have never done anything harmful to God! We were originally living in seclusion on the island. "Now that the world is peaceful, can't we even think about living outside it?"

"That's right! Why are you arresting us? Are there any royal laws?"

"I was also captured by Mo Yan and taken to Xingluo Island. I finally escaped. What's wrong with me? Where are my wife and children? What did you do to them?"

…

Qiu Jing ignored those people and asked Peng Wu to tell him whether any of these people had been caught on the island and had not done any evil.

Peng Wu looked around and finally shook his head at Qiu Jing and said only four words, "There are no good people."

There were some who were arrested like Feng Ming, but those who are in prison now have been assimilated by Xingluo Island. The youngest one, Peng Wu knew, was once He Wei's henchman. He relied on the He family's power on the island to dominate and often secretly harassed young women who were alone. Because the latter dare not speak out when being bullied, it makes that kind of person even more emboldened. The man also tried to harass Peng Wu, but Peng Wu was alert and knew some fists and kicks, so he failed in the end.

As soon as Peng Wu's words came out, she immediately attracted a wave of attacks and insults.

Qiu Jing walked out expressionlessly and told the young general, "Cut them all, leaving no one behind."

Peng Wu also walked out quickly. The eyes of those people just now looked at her like a jackal, a tiger or a leopard, which instantly brought back her nightmare memories of being on the island.

Qiu Jing and Peng Wu went to see the rescued women and children again. Peng Wu knew them all, comforted them, and told them to rest assured that someone would take them back to their original home.

Qiu Jing handed this matter over to the prudent young general and asked him to first investigate where these women's homes were and whether they were willing to take their children back. If their original homes were gone or they didn't want to go back, they would then arrange to send them there together. In the capital, someone will accommodate them.

The next day, the children all woke up early, put on new clothes, had a delicious and hearty breakfast, and were waiting to set off.

Before setting off, Qiu Jing asked Qiu Cong if he wanted to leave first. There should be no danger on the road now. Qiu Jing will escort Peng Wu and the others, so Qiu Cong can go home earlier.

Qiu Cong was a little moved, but still refused, "I came here just for you, and now I have to go back in just a few days. After all, there are still Peng family girls and three children, so nothing can happen."

As a group of people set out on the road, the children were like happy birds, asking endless questions and talking, which was considered lively.

Xiaoyue no longer remembers her original parents and is very attached to Peng Wu, completely treating Peng Wu as her own mother. Peng Wu also felt sorry for the child, and the twins took good care of their sister.

Ashin asked Peng Wu, "Mom, will we never go back to that island again?"

Peng Wu smiled and said, "Mom will not go back in the future. When you grow up, if you want to go back and see the place where you lived when you were a child, you can go."

Ashin shook his head, "I don't want to go back either."

A Le smiled and said, "I'm just like my brother!"

Qiu Cong looked at them and felt more and more homesick. These three children really looked like the three treasures in their family.

…

Gu Ling only set out three or four days later than Qiu Jing, and he was faster. Therefore, two days after Qiu Jing and his party set off for the capital, Gu Ling and Sheng Yue arrived at Kasyapa City.

The general reported the situation, and Gu Ling asked Sheng Yue to see who had been caught and killed, and the rest were his tasks. Of course, he also had to judge which ones should be killed and which ones should be ignored.

"You don't want me to do this now, do you?" Sheng Yue frowned.

Gu Ling nodded, "Right now."

Sheng Yue was not very happy, "I came here with you to go to the capital to find Su Liang together. I want to see with my own eyes whether the magic weapon can recognize her as the master, not to be your slave."

Gu Ling's expression was indifferent, "You are not my slave, this is what you should do."

Sheng Yue frowned, "You mean, let me atone for my sins?"

"Shouldn't?" Gu Ling asked back.

Sheng Yue snorted lightly, but did not refute.

"I need money and people." Sheng Yue said.

Gu Ling said that money was no problem, but people were not, "You can do it yourself."

Sheng Yue was speechless. But it is true that he did not take those who ran away from Xingluo Island seriously. He was in the dark, and it was not a problem for him to solve the problems that needed to be solved. It was just a little troublesome. He had to find them first. But it was not difficult to find them. Those who wanted to get ashore alive and did not dare to come to Jiaye City would certainly not go too far from here, otherwise they might encounter wind and waves or run out of food after a long time at sea.

"You just let me go like this? Are you really not afraid that I will give up and run away?" Sheng Yue even began to suspect whether Gu Ling had done something to him so that he could track him.

"You won't run away." Gu Ling said affirmatively. He gave Sheng Yue enough money, not just for him to spend. If there were people like Peng Wu and his son who needed help, he would give them money to ensure that they could survive or find their original relatives.

Sheng Yue frowned and stuffed the banknote into his arms, "I will go to the capital to see the final answer to the mystery after I finish my work. To be honest, I really want to kill someone now. Let's go."

After saying that, Sheng Yue left.

Gu Ling did not plan to stay in Jiaye City. He just came to check the situation and make sure that Qiu Jing and his party had landed safely and left.

After eating something and taking a short rest, Gu Ling set off again to go home, alone.

…

Beijing City.

In a blink of an eye, it was the end of March.

Su Liang still recorded what Gu Ling might be doing and what stage things might have progressed on the calendar every day, but because there were more and more uncertain things, he could no longer write.

Gu Xiaonuan was heartless and happy every day. Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu knew that Su Liang was worried, and they tried to make her happy in various ways, but with little effect.

Seeing that Su Liang rarely wore a skirt that she would only wear when going out, Zheng'er asked curiously, "Are you going out, Master's wife?"

Su Liang nodded, "Take you out to pick someone up."

"Who?" Ji Xiaoshu asked.

"Friends from the north." Su Liang said.

After a while, Su Liang left the city with his two apprentices. Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu were riding their horses, looking very stylish.

Not long after, a group of people appeared in sight.

It was the Peng family. Peng Wei wrote to Su Liang last year to tell him that they were going to move their family to Beijing to settle down. Now that the world is peaceful, Liang Kingdom doesn't need them to fight anymore. The climate in Yaocheng is too bad. Peng Wei is old and can't stand the cold winter. His children and grandchildren persuaded him, and he finally decided to leave in the spring of this year.

Just after the New Year, the Peng family had a manager come to buy a house in advance. At that time, Su Liang asked Qi Yan to help find one. Earlier, they received news that they would be in Beijing today. No one asked Su Liang to pick them up. She was just worried about Gu Ling. She was a little restless at home. She hadn't been out for many days and wanted to go out for a walk.

Peng Wei saw Su Liang coming to pick them up from afar, and was so happy that he rode his horse and rushed over first, "Little Liang girl!"

Su Liang greeted him with a smile, "Grandpa Peng is finally here."

Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu both called Peng Taigong obediently. Peng Wei knew their identities and greeted them with love, and asked about Gu Xiaonuan.

Peng Fan was already married, and married a young lady who was a family friend of the Peng family. Now his wife was pregnant, so they didn't walk fast on the road.

After greeting, they entered the city.

On the way, Peng Wei asked about Gu Ling, and Su Liang said that he had gone to the south to do business and had not returned yet. Peng Wei knew that it must be the mysterious force on the sea in the south, whose leader had previously colluded with Situ Xie. Seeing that Su Liang didn't say much, Peng Wei didn't ask any more questions, thinking that it must be very difficult, but he believed in Gu Ling's ability.

Su Liang took the two children and sent Peng Wei home. After chatting with the Peng family for a while, he said goodbye and invited them to visit the Su Mansion tomorrow because Peng Wei wanted to see Gu Xiaonuan.

After Su Liang left, Peng Qian returned to his room and his wife was taking clothes out of the box.

There was a handkerchief on the table. Peng Qian picked it up and was stunned. A small "Wu" word was embroidered on the corner of the handkerchief, which had faded a little.

Peng Qian knew that his wife had kept many things of her deceased daughter, so he didn't stop her and silently put the handkerchief back on the table. Peng Wu was a topic that they couldn't talk about for so many years.

…

On a new day, because the Peng family was coming to visit, Su Liang put on the new clothes that Yan Yu had sent yesterday for Gu Xiaonuan. She looked like a New Year picture doll, very festive.

"Sister is so beautiful!" Ji Xiaoshu leaned over and kissed Gu Xiaonuan on the cheek.

Su Liang thought, if Gu Ling was at home and saw this, he would definitely pick up Ji Xiaoshu and teach him a lesson about what it means for men and women not to touch each other.

Zheng Er saw Su Liang in a daze and knew that she was thinking about Gu Ling again. Since Gu Ling left home, Su Liang's "distracted problem" has become more and more serious as time goes by.

Peng Wei brought his whole family, including his pregnant granddaughter-in-law.

Gu Xiaonuan was sweet-mouthed and called him Grandpa Peng with a smile. Peng Wei smiled so hard that his mouth almost stretched to his ears. Peng Qian wanted to hug Gu Xiaonuan, but Peng Wei didn't let him.

Peng Fan noticed that his mother seemed to pay special attention to Wen Ran and looked at him several times. When he saw Wen Ran's profile, Peng Fan understood. It didn't seem so from the front, but Wen Ran's profile without the birthmark looked a bit like his deceased sister Peng Wu, both of whom had heroic looks.

Mrs. Peng didn't object to Ju's family moving to Beijing for the sake of the elderly and children, but Peng Fan knew that his mother didn't want to leave in her heart, because there were traces of her daughter living in the original house. She had been cleaning Peng Wu's room all these years and didn't let her yard grow any weeds, as if she would go back.

...

Yuanming Pavilion was particularly lively today. After Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu greeted the guests, they went outside to practice sword as usual. When Gu Ling was not around, they studied harder than when Gu Ling was around. Ji Xiaoshu said that he was afraid that Gu Ling would come back and beat him, but Su Liang knew that they actually wanted to make Gu Ling happy.

When the two were fighting, Ji Xiaoshu accidentally saw a black shadow flashing in the woods on the other side of the lake, and immediately shouted loudly, "Master's wife, there are bad guys coming!"

The two children ran to Yuanming Pavilion in a well-trained manner. They were all taught to stay away from any danger as soon as possible.

While running, Ji Xiaoshu looked back and ran back again, shouting, "Master! Master! It's Master who is back!" Who else could the handsome man flying across the lake be but Gu Ling?

Su Liang rushed out after hearing the noise, and looked at Gu Ling who was carrying Ji Xiaoshu and walking over with disbelief. He was overjoyed and ran over.

Gu Ling threw Ji Xiaoshu down and hugged Su Liang tightly.

Ji Xiaoshu happily hugged Zheng'er who ran over, "Master is finally back!"

When their eyes met, Gu Ling had a lot to say to Su Liang, but in the end he only said, "Everything is fine."

Su Liang breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that everything is fine." The others must be behind.

Gu Xiaonuan ran over by herself, waving her little hands and calling "Daddy". Gu Ling leaned over to pick her up and kissed her. After so much longing and worrying, his heart finally settled down.

Gu Ling held Gu Xiaonuan, held Su Liang's hand, and followed two little disciples to go back to Yuanming Pavilion together. He looked a little tired. He had not rested since he came back from Jiaye City day and night. Because he was faster, he caught up with Qiu Jing and his party on the way, said hello and then set off again.

Gu Ling was a little surprised to see Peng Wei's family when he entered the door.

Peng Wei smiled, "Xiao Gu, we've all moved to the capital, so we can visit each other often in the future."

Gu Ling nodded, "That's great." He looked at Mrs. Peng who was sitting not far away.

When Mrs. Peng saw Gu Ling looking at her, she smiled and nodded.

As a result, the next moment, she heard Gu Ling say something shocking, "Your daughter is not dead. She was captured by someone and taken to Xingluo Island. Now she has been rescued and is on her way to the capital."

Mrs. Peng was stunned, and the rest of the Peng family couldn't believe their ears.

Peng Wei reacted, stood up and rushed to Gu Ling, grabbed his arm, looked into his eyes, "What did you say just now?"

"Peng Wu is still alive." Gu Ling said it again, with a firm tone, word for word. He knew that if Peng Wu got into trouble, her mother would be the one who suffered the most, so he was the first to tell Mrs. Peng about it.

Mrs. Peng was already in tears, Peng Wei was also crying with joy, and Peng Qian clasped his hands together excitedly.

Su Liang didn't expect such a pleasant surprise. It just so happened that the Peng family had just moved to Beijing and happened to be here today.

After a while, when the Peng family calmed down a little and asked about Peng Wu's situation, Gu Ling threw out another exciting news. Peng Wei had a pair of great grandchildren, twins, who were also on their way back with Peng Wu.

Mrs. Peng was happy and heartbroken. It was hard to imagine what her daughter had experienced.

Su Liang comforted Mrs. Peng, "It's all over. It will be better in the future."

Gu Ling called Su Liang, and the two went upstairs to talk alone.

As soon as they entered the room, Gu Ling hugged Su Liang and gave him a long kiss. After a long time, he let Su Liang go and sighed, "Let's never be apart again."

Su Liang nodded, "I miss you too." Then he asked, "Is Mo Yan dead?"

Gu Ling shook his head, and then took out the small teardrop-shaped jade stone in Su Liang's puzzled eyes, "This is Mo Yan's space, there is still someone inside, we can't open it, so we will keep his life for the time being. You try."
