One person, one city, guarding the border for 30 years

Chapter 37 Return to Evil Dragon Pass

March 29.

Kyoto.

Before Lu Qingfan's carriage entered the city, he was followed by someone.

There are countless pairs of eyes in the dark, staring at the carriage.

But no one stepped forward to intercept, and no one even asked a question.

Instead, the carriage was allowed to enter the city unimpeded.

Lu Qingfan naturally discovered those who were secretly following, but he didn't care.

He guessed the identities of these people, they must be the power of the Wan'er family.

Once in Kyoto, Wan'er should be safe.

"Where?"

Lu Qingfan asked abruptly.

Wan'er was sitting in the carriage, watching the familiar street scene through the window.

"what?"

Wan'er was taken aback by the question, and it took a long time to recover, with a sad look written on her face.

Ugh!
It's finally time to say goodbye!
I'm so sorry!

Wan'er sighed, her whole body seemed to be wilted.

"Go to Xiangfu!"

Wan'er added: "Master Zuo Shangguan's residence."

"Row."

Lu Qingfan drove the carriage, and under Wan'er's guidance, came to an alley.

"Stop, this is the back door."

The carriage stopped in front of the door, and Wan'er and Lu Qingfan got out of the carriage.

The door was closed.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

Wan'er stepped forward and slammed on the door vigorously.

"Who?"

The door opened, and a porter leaned forward.

When he saw Lu Qingfan and Wan'er, he was stunned, "Who are you looking for?"

"I want to see Mr. Shangguan, Prime Minister of the Left!"

Wan'er said, "Go and report."

"who are you?"

Seeing Wan'er and Lu Qingfan's extraordinary temperament, the doorman didn't dare to neglect, stood up straight and asked.

"You take this to Lord Shangguan, he will naturally know."

Wan'er took out a token and handed it to the little doorman.

"okay."

The doorman agreed, and ran into the yard quickly, forgetting to close the door.

After a while.

There was a sound of rapid footsteps.

The footsteps are getting closer, but more urgent.

Soon, an old man trotted out of the yard and came to the door.

When he saw Wan'er, he was both surprised and happy. He was about to salute, but Wan'er stopped her with her eyes.

"Master, please slow down."

A dozen servants ran over and stood behind the old man.

"You all leave."

The old man waved his hand.

"Yes."

The servants stepped back.

"You're back!"

The old man managed to catch his breath, with a smile on his face.

"Ah."

Wan'er nodded, then turned to look at Lu Qingfan.

This time, she couldn't look away.

After a long time, Lu Qingfan reminded: "Go in, I should go too."

"what?"

Wan'er said in shock: "You really want to leave? Can't you not leave?"

"It's useless to talk too much!"

Lu Qingfan waved his hand.

"Ok."

Wan'er calmed down, forced a smile and said, "The next time we meet again, it may be several years later, and you will grow up by then, and I may not recognize you."

Speaking of this, Wan'er took out a jade pendant and handed it to Lu Qingfan.

"You take it, and when I see it, I will recognize you."

As Wan'er spoke, tears welled up in her eyes. She looked up at the sky, trying not to let the tears flow down.

After a while, she calmed down and forced a smile, "Besides, you can also bring it to me, just come here, take it out and give it to Lord Shangguan, and Lord Shangguan will naturally bring you to see me."

"Okay, I see."

Lu Qingfan looked down at the jade pendant in his hand, and saw a phoenix engraved on it, and a wan character engraved on the bottom.

"However, what if I don't recognize you then?"

"I have this!"

Wan'er suddenly took out a bunch of flowers and waved them in her hands.

"You still keep it?"

Lu Qingfan quickly recognized this bouquet of flowers, which was the one he picked for Wan'er on a whim that day.

"Well, as I said, I'll keep it forever."

Wan'er nodded vigorously.

"Okay, then I'm leaving."

Lu Qingfan waved his hand, turned and left.

He didn't stop when the carriage passed by.

"Your carriage!"

Wan'er shouted loudly behind him.

"No more!"

Lu Qingfan turned around and smiled at Wan'er, "Its mission has been completed!"

"Oh."

Wan'er raised her hand at Lu Qingfan and shouted loudly, "Goodbye!"

"Well, let's go."

Lu Qingfan turned around again, this time he didn't look back.

Wan'er kept looking at Lu Qingfan's back until he disappeared, but she still refused to move.

After a long time, Wan'er let out a long sigh and put away the bouquet of flowers.

"Master Shangguan, please send someone to escort me into the palace."

Wan'er pointed to the carriage that Lu Qingfan left behind, "Use this carriage!"

"Yes!"

……

……

The fifth day of April.

Qingming.

Lu Qingfan passed through the no-man's land and came to the city of Xielongguan.

He didn't rush into the city, but entered the woods beside the road.

Overgrown weeds covered the former path in the woods.

There are hundreds of graves, but no one comes to pay homage.

Lu Qingfan sighed, took out the wine he had prepared in advance, and threw it into the air.

It rained wine in the woods.

"Rest in peace, I have already avenged your revenge!"

Lu Qingfan strode out of the woods.

Two years ago, hundreds of soldiers who died in Xielong Pass were buried here.

Lu Qingfan entered the city.

Not much has changed here from two years ago.

It's still an empty city.

Although the dilapidated city walls have been repaired, the entire Xielong Pass has been cleaned inside and out.

However, the imperial court did not send troops to station here again.

Two years is enough to make people forget a lot.

But Lu Qingfan will never forget that day.

He climbed the tower and looked in the direction of Wanshou Mountain.

From now on, this is my home!

When Lu Qingfan came, he made up his mind that he wanted to stay here.

After a few days of rest, he will go to Wanshou Mountain for a walk.

Then come back to live for a while, and then go to Wanshou Mountain.

He is going to kill monsters!

There were a few not-so-big rooms on the city tower. Lu Qingfan tidied up the room, divided it into several rooms, and took out the things he had prepared in advance.

Futons, pillows, beds, in the bedroom.

Pots and pans, firewood, rice, oil, salt, various vegetables, meat, water, seasonings, etc., are placed in the kitchen.

Tables, chairs, benches and the like are placed in the tea room.

Everything that Lu Qingfan could think of was prepared in advance.

Every room is packed to the brim in no time.

Smoke rises, and there is a smell of fireworks here!

……

……

a few days later.

morning.

Lu Qingfan stood on the tower, looking in the direction of Wanshou Mountain.

Suddenly, he felt something unusual.

There were bursts of noise from Wanshou Mountain.

Is it...

Lu Qingfan's heart moved, and he guessed a little bit.

The sound changed from far to near, and turned into rumbling thunder.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

The sound was getting closer and louder.

Even the ground trembled.

Lu Qingfan's eyes were fixed on Longevity Mountain without blinking.

He saw a scene he will never forget.

Countless monsters galloped down from the mountain of ten thousand beasts.

Big, small, medium, monsters of all sizes are available.

They only care about running forward, and they will inevitably collide with each other.

Countless monsters trampled on each other, and howling sounded.

But they will still get up desperately and run forward desperately.

It seems to be running for your life!

"Is the beast tide coming again?"

Lu Qingfan muttered to himself, "This time, I will let you come and go!"

While speaking, Lu Qingfan took off the bow on his left shoulder, took out a row of quiver bags, and placed them on the city wall.

"bring it on!"
