Return

Meanwhile, Li Zhanying and his group had already returned to the territory of the Pusi Kingdom ahead of Lin Xiao.

At this moment, they were planning to send the mountain people who had been tied up on the boat back to their respective villages one by one.

One by one, the villagers from several mountain strongholds sent the people back. The villagers, who had been tortured to the point of being unrecognizable, were stunned to see that they had returned to their homeland. It wasn't until the old, weak, sick, and disabled villagers who hadn't been captured heard the commotion and came out that they disembarked from the funeral boat, sobbing, and embraced the villagers, weeping bitterly.

The cries contained a sense of relief at returning to reality and the joy of surviving a disaster.

There's also the heartbreak of learning that even the remains of one's child were not recovered.

Fortunately, Xue Chengfeng had left manpower in each mountain village, and Tong Shuzheng led these constables to work hard and barely managed to control the situation and settle the rescued villagers down.

The villagers from the mountain village where Han Weishu and Tong Jialiang had stayed earlier looked at the other villagers who were being sent back first, their hearts filled with sorrow, and they kept praying in their hearts that their families would be safe.

But having lived in the mountains for many years, they knew how difficult it was to fulfill their prayers under such circumstances.

However, to their surprise, when they returned to their mountain village, they found that the elderly, the disabled, and the village chief's children were all safe and sound.

After hearing the story, they realized that it was the little girl they had taken in earlier who had made the arrangements.

So the village chief led the villagers to thank Han Weishu.

However, when they saw Han Weishu silently keeping the still dazed Tong Jialiang company, they refrained from disturbing her and instead had the chieftain go over alone to express his gratitude.

This mountain village is very poor.

They had no fields or land, and could only rely on the mountains for survival.

They had nothing to offer in return, so they brought out the furs they had treasured at home as a token of their gratitude.

After bidding farewell to the last mountain stronghold, only Li Zhanying, Han Weishu, and Tong Jialiang remained on the spirit ship.

And those monks they captured.

At this moment, all those people were imprisoned inside the ship by Li Zhanying, who sealed them off from the outside world.

Li Zhanying intends to take these people back to the capital for further processing.

Tong Shuzheng stayed in the area to handle the follow-up matters with Xue Chengfeng.

As Li Zhanying maneuvered the spirit ship back into the sky, he looked at Tong Jialiang, whose eyes were glazed over. Ever since he was rescued, he had been like this, only opening his mouth slightly when Han Weishu fed him medicine. Otherwise, he had been leaning against the ship's wall without moving.

So Li Zhanying asked Han Weishu:

Where are you two planning to go?

Han Weishu glanced at Tong Jialiang beside her, and seeing that he still had no reaction, she lowered her head and thought for a moment before saying:

"Senior, could you take us to Songyang County?"

After all, A-Liang had previously said he was going to Songyang County to wait for his cousin.

Given his current state, it's not advisable for him to go anywhere else. Therefore, let's stick to the original plan for now.

Maybe he'll feel better after he sees his cousin.

Upon hearing this, Li Zhanying nodded slightly and then steered the spirit boat toward Songyang County at high speed.

After arriving in Songyang County, Li Zhanying dropped the two off not far from the city gate and then led the cultivators from the Golden Crow Sect of Huanyou Nation on the boat to Xiushui Village.

After watching the hearse depart, Han Weishu held Tong Jialiang's hand tightly and led him into the city.

Although Tong Jialiang seems completely lost now, he still retains some simple subconscious movements. For example, if something is placed near his mouth, he will open his mouth; if you pull him up to stand up and walk forward, he will also lift his leg and take a step.

His eyes were lifeless, and he remained silent.

Han Weishu patiently led him into Songyang County, asked several people for directions, and after wandering around, they finally found the Lingxiao Escort Agency that Tong Jialiang had mentioned to her before.

She stood a short distance from the entrance, looking at the thriving security escort agency across the street, and hesitated.

According to what Tong Jialiang said before, his cousin told him to come to this security escort agency to wait for him, which means that his cousin himself was not actually working at the agency.

But Tong Jialiang never told her how he was supposed to get into the escort agency after arriving there.

I've never heard him mention anything about a token or anything like that.

I couldn't very well go in and immediately ask them if they knew Tong Jialiang's cousin, could I?

After hesitating for a moment, Han Weishu saw two women with smiles on their faces, arm in arm, walk to the side door next to Lingxiao Escort Agency and gently pat it.

Then someone came to answer the door and opened the side door for the two women, who then went in chatting and laughing.

The side door then closed.

With the day drawing to a close, if she didn't find a place to stay soon, she and A-Liang would have to spend the night sleeping on the streets.

Han Weishu touched her Storage Bag.

When she left the mountain stronghold earlier, she took Tong Jialiang's baggage with her.

His belongings are now lying in his Storage Bag.

Although they could stay at the inn temporarily, she still had money.

Given Tong Jialiang's current condition, she still wants him to settle down in one place to recover slowly, and it would be more appropriate to have someone she knows looking after him.

Staying in a guesthouse, a noisy place with many people coming and going, is obviously not suitable.

And what if his cousin comes and doesn't see him, and thinks he doesn't want to come and stay with him?

After thinking for a moment, she decided to take out the bundle and take a look.

Tong Jialiang took out his bundle from the Storage Bag and opened it. Inside, besides a few changes of clothes, some loose copper coins, and two straw ropes for binding his legs and traveling.

Inside the clothing, a letter was carefully wrapped.

There was nothing else besides that.

So Han Weishu opened the letter and read it carefully.

She then put her things back in order and led Tong Jialiang into the Lingxiao Escort Agency.

"Is Chief Escort Qin here?"

The bodyguards inside the escort agency were somewhat surprised to see a dirty-looking young man leading in an even more unkempt young man who looked rather odd, and then immediately looking for Boss Qin.

Beside him, Master Gao, the most senior middle-aged man in the escort agency, who had just received a shipment and was preparing for it, turned around and asked:

"Young man, what do you need Dayou Qin for?"

Upon hearing this, Han Weishu looked at him and said:

"Please convey to Master Qin that Young Master Mo's servant requests an audience."

Hearing her say that, Master Gao naturally wouldn't pry further. He nodded to Han Weishu and said:

"Wait a moment."

As he spoke, he turned and asked a young man who did odd jobs at the security company to go to the backyard and tell Dayi.

Qin Jianghe, who was in the backyard, was stunned when he received the message.

Young Master Mo? Among the people he knew with the surname Mo who could be called Young Master, the first person that came to mind was Mo Yuanjiao.

But what were his servants doing here?

If he couldn't figure it out, he stopped thinking about it. He figured he could just ask and find out. So he took out Location Sound Transmission Talisman infused with Mo Yuanjiao's Spiritual Power.
