The adopted daughter returns with a new face

Zhong Yan and the others looked at Lan Rufeng, who was not wearing a cloak, but had a half silver mask on his face, and his eyes were as deep as a spring. From the exposed left half of his jade-like face, it can be seen that this man must have an extraordinary appearance. The blue clothes made him look gentle and elegant, what a handsome young man.

Zhang Yuanwai looked at the handsome young man in front of him and raised his glass to express his gratitude: "Mr. Lan, you have saved my daughter. The Zhang family will never forget this. Let me offer you a glass to you."

"Mr. Zhang is too polite. I heard that Mr. Zhang is very wealthy. Could you give me some money for the trip?" Lan Rufeng was not polite at all and drank the wine with a smile. His words surprised Lin Ruyan and the others, surprised that he was so direct.

"Mr. Lan is too polite. Compared with the great kindness of my daughter and grandson, a little money is nothing to worry about." Mr. Zhang said with a smile.

"I'm sorry to make you all laugh, but I'm a new apprentice and don't know much about the outside world. I don't know where to earn money if I'm out of money, so I won't be polite to Mr. Zhang." Lan Rufeng said frankly that she had no place to make money.

"Mr. Lan has a straightforward personality, and I like him. Come, come, have a drink, and don't be polite." Mr. Zhang greeted everyone with a smile and invited them to dinner. The dinner was quite pleasant.

The next day, everyone set off. Mr. Zhang directly asked someone to bring a small box of gold and a stack of silver bills to Lan Rufeng.

Lan Rufeng took a look at the golden nugget, stretched out his hand and took out a silver note with a face value of 1,000 taels, and said: "Thank you very much, Mr. Zhang, for the money."

"Mr. Lan, these are all gifts from me. Please accept them. If they are not enough, I will have someone prepare some more for you." Mr. Zhang looked at Lan Rufeng and took out a silver note worth one thousand taels, worried that Lan Rufeng would think it was too little.

"A thousand taels are enough for Xiao Hong'er and me to eat for more than a year. Thank you Mr. Zhang for your generosity and Prefect Chen for your hospitality. Now I'm leaving." After Lan Rufeng finished speaking, he turned around and landed on the horse's back. He took off his cloak and put it on his head. The horse rode leisurely forward.

Everyone only saw a figure flash before their eyes, and Lan Rufeng was actually on the horse's back. His ability to change shape and shadow was amazing. Chen Dong respectfully saw Princess Nan'an and the others off.

"Mr. Lan, you can change your shape and shadow. I wonder who your master is?" Zhong Yan couldn't help but ask after leaving the city.

"Mr. Zhong, what is Shapeshifting? I have never heard of it. What I do is called Lingfeng Weibu." Lan Rufeng made up a story to shut Zhong Yan up.

"Lingfeng Weibu..." Zhong Yan and Zhong Lian were confused when they heard Lan Rufeng's words. They had never heard of this kung fu.

Lin Ruyan and the two maids were in the carriage, listening to the conversation between Zhong Yan and Lan Rufeng, and couldn't help frowning. During the meal last night, although I couldn't see his face clearly, I could tell that he was not very old, but his martial arts skills were frighteningly high. He never asked about their identities along the way.

"I have never heard of Master Lan's kung fu. I am truly ignorant." Zhong Yan said with a smile.

"In all martial arts, the empty is real and the real is empty." Lan Rufeng said lightly, stretched out his hand to take the flute from his waist, put it to his mouth and started to play. Xiaohong coiled around her master's shoulder and fell asleep.

Everyone couldn't help feeling happy as Lan Rufeng played the tune again, and they no longer felt tired while walking.

Lan Rufeng didn't pay much attention to Zhong Yan and the others because she didn't want to have anything to do with the Guan family. She was just eating and drinking for free on the way to Beijing, and they also wanted her to be a free bodyguard. They each got what they wanted.

They walked hundreds of miles that day, and it was thousands of miles from the Divine Doctor Valley to the capital. Back then, Liang Boshan and his wife asked their deputy general Lin Feng and the guards to escort them back to Meng'an. They had planned everything long ago, and they were so vicious.

Four days later, Lan Rufeng looked at the capital at dusk, and the memories of the original owner flashed through his mind. Looking at the soldiers checking the pass when entering the city, he remembered that he didn't have a pass, so he had to say to Zhong Yan: "Mr. Zhong, I seem to have forgotten to bring my pass when I went out. Could you please ask the officer for help and make it convenient for me?"

"Mr. Lan, you don't have to be polite. Just follow us into the city." Zhong Yan generously led Lan Rufeng into the city.

Lan Rufeng nodded and followed the carriage leisurely, watching Zhong Yan in front take out the token, and the officials let him go without checking. In fact, in Muchuan, she had guessed the identity of the woman in the carriage.

“Master Lan…” Lin Ruyan lifted the carriage curtain and called softly, looking at Lan Rufeng and said, “Master Lan, if you don’t mind, please come with us and go back to the mansion to rest.”

"Thank you for your kindness, ma'am. It would be more convenient for me to stay at the inn and not bother you." Lan Rufeng refused with a faint smile.

"Mr. Lan has been with me all the way. I wonder if he has any relatives in Beijing?" Lin Ruyan was reluctant to leave Lan Rufeng. Although he didn't talk much along the way, she felt that this young man was very kind.

"My grandfather passed away in my early years, and I followed my master to the mountains. I am an orphan." Lan Rufeng smiled faintly. The original owner was indeed an orphan, an orphan who was picked up by the Liang family, or perhaps stolen back to extend the life of their daughter.

"I'm sorry for making Master Lan recall the past. I've been with Master Lan these days, and although he doesn't talk much, he is a kind person. My son lives at No. 10, Linzi Lane, South Street. If Master Lan encounters any difficulties in Beijing, he can come here to find my son." Lin Ruyan apologized and told him where her son's mansion was.

"Thank you, ma'am. I'll take my leave now." Lan Rufeng didn't waste any more words and rode his horse to the other side.

Lin Ruyan watched Lan Rufeng riding his horse and disappearing into the crowd. It took a long time before she looked away and lowered the curtain. If her daughter were still alive, she would be about the same age as this young master.

Fifteen years have passed, and she still doesn't know where Feng'er is. She was only three years old when she went missing. How scared must she have been? How helpless? Whenever I think of it, my heart aches.

"Princess, are you missing the little princess again?" Qiuyun and Xiaoyue looked at their master with her hands covering her heart and asked in a low voice.

"If Feng'er hadn't been lost, she would be about the same age as this Young Master Lan, right?" Lin Ruyan said sadly.

"Don't be sad, Princess. The little princess is a lucky person. She must be living a good life somewhere." Qiuyun hurriedly comforted her master.

"Alas..." Lin Ruyan sighed softly and said nothing. She also hoped that her daughter was alive and well somewhere. But after fifteen years, she dared not hope for that.

"Fengxiang Tower" Lan Rufeng came to Fengxiang Tower and directly threw the horse to the waiter to lead it downstairs. He went into the building and asked for a room upstairs. After asking the waiter to fetch him water for a bath, he ordered some wine and food and sat by the window to eat and drink leisurely.

More than three years have passed, and I have returned with the body of the original owner. I came back to see the place where the original owner lived and the beautiful scenery of this southern capital. I also came to collect debts for the original owner and teach the hypocritical Liang couple a lesson.

When Lan Ruyun and his wife from the "Lan Mansion" saw their mother, they were so happy that they held her hands tightly, helped her into the hall, and asked about her journey.

Lin Ruyan sat down and motioned for Zhong Yan to tell her son what happened on the road truthfully.

"I'm glad that mother is okay. It's fate that I meet Mr. Lan. Ruyun will see which inn he is staying in in the city and go there to express her gratitude. Let's go and wash up first." Lan Ruyun became interested in this man who had the same name as her sister.

Lin Ruyan nodded, stood up and went down with the help of her daughter-in-law.
