Chapter 225 Returning to Yueyang

Four days later, Lanqiao and Bai Xueyin left the Crescent Pond.

Lanqiao's back injury was nourished by hot spring mud for many days and had been cured, and Bai Xueyin's broken bone injury also improved greatly.

Although she could barely move freely, if she was fighting with a sword, she would need to rest for a while. Considering the upcoming battle after returning to Yueyang, Lanqiao advised Bai Xueyin not to leave temporarily and find another quiet place to recover from her wounds.

Bai Xueyin was unwilling to do so at first, but she couldn't resist Lanqiao's insistence, and secondly, she didn't want to drag everyone down, so she separated from Lanqiao in a small town on the north bank of the Xiangjiang River.

After seeing Bai Xueyin off, Lanqiao took a boat north and returned to Yueyang in the afternoon of the same day.

The weather was very good this day. A few clouds like cotton and fluffy floated on the azure blue sky. The sun shone brightly with golden light, sprinkled on the blue Dongting Lake and in the ancient Yueyang City.

The east wind blew the calm lake water and also blew away the midsummer heat. The weeping willow branches beside the road were rustling, and there were no pedestrians on the quiet streets, and only a lazy afternoon filled the streets.

Lanqiao touched the Dongting Gang's villa from the back door. The courtyard was quiet, just like Yueyang City, as if he was touched by the gentle breeze in midsummer.

Chen Yuheng swept the yard alone and made a rhythmic "swish, swish". When he saw Lanqiao, he showed a look of surprise. He was about to call someone over, but was stopped by Lanqiao's gesture.

Lanqiao signaled Chen Yuheng not to speak out, but he walked towards a small building in the northeast corner of the other courtyard. Seeing a cluster of snow-white jasmine on the side of the road, he couldn't help but take off one, shake his robe sleeve and use his light skills to climb up to the window on the second floor.

In the window is the windy night berries that are more beautiful than flowers.

Feng Yeling seemed to have just left the bath, had already put on her exquisite clothes, and had carefully dressed up. She was sitting in front of the bronze mirror and choosing the hairpin to use.

She changed three different hairpins in a row, but was not very satisfied. It either did not match the style of her dress or did not match her mood at the moment.

As she was hesitating, her weak and boneless white wrist had been caught.

Feng Yeling was shocked and was about to shout, but she saw clearly that it was Lan Qiao's figure in the bronze mirror.

Lan Qiao leaned forward and gently took the hairpin from Feng Yeling's hand, but put the blooming jasmine flower on her head.

Flowers complement the beauty, and the beauty of the flower is even more beautiful.

Lan Qiao approached Feng Yeling's neck and sniffed it. In an instant, Feng Yeling's faint fragrance mixed with the fragrance of flower balm powder, making him look intoxicated.

Feng Yeling smiled sweetly at Lan Qiao in the mirror, and her eyes turned from the initial surprise to the touch of tenderness. She let out a "moan" and her body softened and leaned against Lan Qiao.

Lan Qiao stroked her hair in a doting way, immersed in the joy of reunion with her little date.

The two of them didn't say a word, just the touch of their eyes and soul was enough to make their hearts sweet and ecstatic.

They snuggled up to each other for a quarter of an hour. Lan Qiao suddenly realized that she had been struggling in the mud for the past few days, and she must have been dirty and smelly. She couldn't help but push Feng Yeling away with embarrassment and find her way to the bathtub she had just used.

Feng Yeling opened her a pair of all-in-minded eyes and looked at Lan Qiao in confusion, as if she was asking, "Why are you pushing her away?" When she saw Lan Qiao take off her clothes, she woke up like a dream and said coquettishly, "That's the water that she washed."

"Not worry," Lan Qiao said and climbed into the bathtub. When she sat down, she splashed a lot of half-temperature water, "Well, it smells so good."

He snorted comfortably and leaned lazily against the edge of the tub.

"I'll get you the clothes I changed." Feng Yeling's face was flushed with shame, and she hurriedly fled from the place.

After about a quarter of an hour, she came back, holding a clean men's clothing in her hand and said, "Come out and change it, you have good luck today. Sister Jingshu has prepared a big meal and is waiting for you to eat."

"No wonder you dressed up so carefully today for a big meal." Lan Qiao's heart moved, and while wiping her body, she asked, "How did Miss Li know that I'm back today?"

"What are you thinking? Du Zhen has returned from Changde and brought back dozens of new forces from the Dongting Gang." Feng Yeling gave him annoyed and said, "Everyone is ready to do something big, it's not for you."

Lan Qiao said curiously, "Miss Li can cook." He jumped out of the bathtub with a towel wrapped in a towel. The originally clear bath water had turned into turbid yellow soup.

Feng Yeling spread her hands and said, "I haven't seen it anyway, I'll know when I go over and take a look."

Tang Li returned to Yueyang three days ago and told Murong Ying and Feng Yueming what she saw and heard in Bailihuang. Feng Yueming first expressed condolences for Hua Feng's sacrifice, and then immediately made a decision to let the Dongting Gang enter a state of war readiness. All personnel remain vigilant at any time. At the same time, evacuate those who do not know how to do martial arts in advance, so as not to take care of themselves in the future.

Logically speaking, Feng Yeling, Lan Feng and Li Jingshu were among the evacuated personnel because they knew how to do martial arts. However, Feng Yeling was determined to advance and retreat with Lan Qiao and refused to leave. Lan Feng stayed because he had to take the responsibility of overall decision-making, and Li Jingshu had to wait for Du Zhen to come back to treat his young master Du Yu.

Du Zhen returned to the villa this morning and brought back dozens of reliable Dongting Gang soldiers, and of course the fish vanilla purchased from Changde.

Li Jingshu immediately decocted the medicine and took it to Du Yu. The young master woke up in less than half an hour and his condition improved greatly.

Du Long's widow, Mrs. Qiao, thanked her so much. Du Zhen also said all his gratitude and immediately asked his subordinates to give her a big red envelope.

Li Jingshu said, "After all this, I should thank you. If Xiaoye and the others had rescued me from Leng Yuexuan, I would have become a slave of whom. Now that the young master is in good condition, I should have been ready to leave."

Feng Yueming joked that she said, "You said you should thank us, but you just left like that. Wouldn't this word thank you become empty words?"

Li Jingshu smiled slightly and said, "The little girl started preparing yesterday. Before leaving, I will cook myself and make a family dinner to thank everyone."

Feng Yeling asked her at that time, "You can still cook."

Li Jingshu asked back, "You don't believe it"

Feng Yeling couldn't help but think of Lanqiao, "But Lanqiao and Xueyin's sister have not come back yet, so they are afraid they won't be able to eat it."

Li Jingshu smiled and said, "You'd better hope that he won't be able to eat it, otherwise he will suddenly feel that I'm virtuous and start to like me and dislike you. Don't blame me."

Feng Yeling said with a look, "Brave you."

The main hall of the Dongting Gang's courtyard was filled with people. Du Zhen, Murong Ying, Feng Yueming, Lan Qiao, Lan Feng, Feng Yeling, Tang Li, Zhu Xuan, Chen Yuqian and Chen Yuheng were all present. Ten people sat around a large round table, exchanging their different experiences and information in recent days.

Lan Feng patted Lan Qiao's shoulder and smiled, "You're not as good as you're here. Miss Li was going to serve food. I heard that you're back to Yueyang and have to wait for you to start together. Seeing that the sun is about to set, you're still busy with your sister-in-law for a long time before you're willing to come out. It's really a full man who doesn't know how hungry he is."

His teasing at Lanqiao made everyone laugh. Feng Yueming smiled and said, "I don't know when your boy has such a big face. Miss Li said that because the person you mainly want to thank is you, she would not start if you didn't come. She didn't even let us in the kitchen. She was only willing to reveal that the name of the table today is Luoying's Shihua Banquet."

Lan Feng shook his head with a folding fan and said, "As the name suggests, this Fallen Ying Ten Flowers Banquet should be ten dishes related to flowers, which corresponds to the ten people here. Unfortunately, because of someone's lateness, we became an embarrassing situation where Ninth Master was waiting for a grandson."

He said seriously before, and when he finally said such muddy words as "Jiu Ye Waiting for One Grandson", it immediately caused another burst of laughter.
