Meng Xiangzhi took a deep breath and bowed to the woman.
"I don't know what happened here, which angered the Immortal Master. This boy is Meng Xiangzhi, the lord of this city. I am here to apologize to the Immortal Master and hope that the Immortal Master will appease his anger."
The woman in front of me looks young, but the age of a member of the Immortal family cannot be judged by their appearance, and they have the ability to turn clouds and rain, which should not be underestimated.
Xu Chunniang glanced at Meng Xiang, the city lord was quite experienced.
"I had no way out, so I had to show my garrison order. They said I was a spy and wanted to arrest me."
Meng Xiangzhi's heart skipped a beat. From the looks of it, it was these incompetent soldiers under him who made the move first.
It is taboo to attack an immortal master. Not only can their lives be saved, but even their relatives may not be able to escape if they encounter some immortal masters with a bad temper.
Meng Xiangzhi bowed deeply and said, "Master Immortal, please forgive me. These people do not know the appearance of the Immortal family and deserve to die. However, their relatives are innocent. I ask the Immortal Master to show your respect. Xiangzhi will provide you with a golden guide later. Immortal Master
With this golden guide, you can have a smooth journey."
When several soldiers heard this, they all looked miserable. They were eager to perform meritorious deeds, but they didn't expect to offend someone they couldn't afford to offend, and they would be killed.
Xu Chunniang frowned slightly. These soldiers were offensive and she didn't like them. However, it would be a waste of human life to kill people just for such trivial matters.
"Although these people have had their experiences, they will never die."
Meng Xiangzhi was overjoyed when he heard this, "Then Xiangzhi suspended them from their posts and fined them three years' salary."
He felt relieved, it seemed that this immortal master was not a murderous person.
Several soldiers returned with their lives at the gate of hell. They could hardly believe their ears, and they were all in tears.
Xu Chunniang was noncommittal, "What is the use of the golden road guide?"
"Returning to the Immortal Master, this golden road guide is an identity certificate specially made for the Immortal Master by our country, Great Qin.
With this guide, in our land of Great Qin, immortal masters can not only come and go freely, but also enjoy various benefits."
Meng Xiangzhi replied humbly, "It's just that I don't have this golden road guide with me. If the immortal master is not in a hurry, he can go to the city lord's mansion to rest for a while, and I will offer this golden road guide with both hands."
When Xu Chunniang entered the city, she originally planned to rest for two days. It made no difference whether she went to the city lord's palace or to other places, so she nodded slightly in agreement.
The city lord's mansion is magnificent, well-proportioned and extremely extraordinary.
Xu Chunniang only glanced at it and then withdrew her gaze, following Meng Xiang into the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion.
"I have ordered people to get the golden road guide. Master Immortal, please wait a moment."
Meng Xiangzhi sat at the bottom with a smile on his face.
Not long after he finished speaking, someone came in with a tray in hand.
Xu Chunniang looked at the pure gold road guide in front of her and reached out to take it.
When he saw the three words "Huangfu Cheng" engraved under the road guide, his eyes narrowed slightly.
The emperor of the Qin Kingdom, whose surname was Huangfu?
Could it be that Huangfu Yao is also from the Qin royal family?
What is her relationship with Huangfu Cheng?
Thoughts flashed through Xu Chunniang's mind, but her face remained calm as she put away the golden guide.
Meng Xiangzhi saw that the golden road guide suddenly disappeared in the hands of the immortal master, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it was indeed the trick of the immortal family.
"If Master Immortal has nothing urgent, you can stay in my city lord's mansion for a few days."
Xu Chunniang has everything she needs. With the golden road in hand, she can stay and go as she pleases within the territory of Qin. With her own pace, it only takes a dozen days to set out from here to Yaoyue County.
There was still plenty of time, and she planned to return to Xujiacun in Wuchang County after two days of rest.
Two days later, Xu Chunniang, who had regained her energy, left the city lord's mansion and embarked on the journey to Wuchang County.
After sending the immortal master away, Meng Xiangzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the female immortal master seemed to have a good temper, he still did not dare to be careless when getting along with him, for fear that he would offend the immortal master and get angry if he did not treat her well.
Now that the immortal master is gone, his tense mind is completely relaxed.
According to Xu Chunniang's journey, it only takes five days to reach Xujiacun.
But she didn't know whether it was due to timidity near home or other reasons, but after entering Wuchang County, her speed slowed down.
The closer we get to Xujiacun, the slower the speed becomes.
But no matter how hard she tried, Xujiacun finally appeared in front of her in the early morning of the seventh day.
The small village in front of me seemed no different from the small mountain village in my memory.
It seems like everything has changed.
Xu Chunniang hesitantly stepped into her hometown where she had been away for many years with complicated emotions.
It is late autumn in November in the secular world, and the weather is getting colder. Many elderly people have put on thick coats.
This is a time of leisure for farmers, a rare leisure time for villagers.
Seeing Xu Chunniang, a stranger, appear in the village, they did not step forward and just watched from a distance.
Several women talked quietly.
"That girl looks young, but she's not very clear-headed. She's only wearing a single coat in the cold weather!"
"Looking at her demeanor, she looks like someone with status. I don't know which family's daughter she is, but her clothes are a little plain."
"Hey, did you see that there is a scar on her face?"
"What are you talking about? That's not a scar, it's a birthmark. I remember the third girl of Dunzi's family had a birthmark on her face since she was a child. Could it be the third girl?"
"The third girl from Dunzi's family is a promising girl. She was taken away by the immortal to enjoy the blessings of being a god. How can she come back?"
"Look, she's walking towards Dunzi's house."
Xu Chunniang ignored the comments behind her. She took a deep breath and walked towards the home in her memory.
However, the farmhouse in my memory has changed drastically.
Xu Chunniang looked at the room in front of her with a blank expression.
The courtyard door of the old adobe house was closed and covered with dust. Because no one lived there, the eaves were in disrepair and a corner of the roof had collapsed.
Before coming back, she had imagined that her family would build a big blue brick house, but she never expected that the building would be empty.
Several women who were watching the excitement quietly followed up behind them. Seeing this scene, the person who had previously guessed that the woman was the third girl of Dunzi's family was even more convinced of their inner thoughts.
She walked forward and asked directly, "Are you the third girl who cultivated immortality and returned?"
Xu Chunniang came back to her senses and looked at the woman.
I searched my memory, but I couldn't find anyone who could match the name of the person in front of me.
"I am, aunt, do you know where my family has gone?"
After calming down, Xu Chunniang realized that her family had probably moved away from Xujiacun and gone somewhere else.
The woman was very excited when she saw that her guess came true.
"Ah, ah, I said it was the third girl who came back. They still didn't believe it. More than ten years have passed, and the third girl is already in her twenties this year. She looks like a teenage girl.
.”
Several other women saw that the woman in front of them was really the third girl of Dunzi's family, so they stepped forward one by one and stared at Xu Chunniang.
"Is it really the third girl? It doesn't look like it. The third girl is dark and skinny. How can she have such fine skin and tender flesh?"
