Chapter 258 In Danger
In the early morning, a thin mist quietly dissipated across the mountain path, and the convoy slowly moved forward in the morning light. The cool sunlight filtered through the branches, casting dappled shadows. The rumbling of the carriage wheels and the occasional bird song intertwined, adding a subtle sense of tension to the surroundings.
Inside the carriage, Lu Ling'er gently stroked her abdomen, a calm smile on her face, yet revealing a hint of forbearance and determination. Feng Xinying carefully adjusted her cushions and whispered, "Ling'er, this journey is full of dangers. You're pregnant, so you really shouldn't overexert yourself."
Lu Linger nodded slightly, her eyes firm. "Don't worry, I know how much I can bear. The more important the responsibility, the more we cannot retreat. Only by witnessing this change with our own eyes can there be hope for the child's future."
Zhihua, standing by, her eyes filled with worry, gently reminded, "Miss, there seems to be an air of unease along the way. Do you want to send more guards to ensure safety?"
Lu Linger took a deep breath, a sharp look flashing in her eyes. "Don't worry too much. Now that you've decided to embark on this path, you can't turn back easily. Although this action is dangerous, only by taking risks can you reverse your fate."
In another carriage, Gu Yichen stared out the window at the rolling hills, his expression grave. Li Yun sat quietly to the side, his expression calm yet resolute, as if he were ready to weather the storm.
After a long silence, Gu Yichen finally spoke, whispering, "Li Yun, thank you for escorting Ling'er here. Although I haven't asked about your background in detail, I know it hasn't been easy for you to get to where you are today." He paused, looking at Li Yun with a deep gaze, "There is one thing I still don't understand. Why must we travel together to the Land of Apocalypse?"
Li Yun smiled slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of deep meaning. "Your Highness, the Land of Apocalypse is no ordinary place. Rumor has it that there is an ancient power hidden there, and the seal of this power can only be opened by a specific bloodline. The lineages of the Prince of Zhennan and the Prince of Jing'an are the two keys, and neither can be missing."
Gu Yichen was shocked, his brow furrowed in confusion and surprise. "How do you know my identity? Even Ling'er doesn't know this—who are you?"
Li Yun's smile was calm and peaceful, his eyes deep. "Your Highness, I know far more than you imagine. I am here with Miss Lu not only out of loyalty, but also because of this ancient mission. If the seal cannot be successfully broken this time, the Tianqi Dynasty will face even greater disaster."
Gu Yichen's heart tightened, as he seemed to recall some buried memories. After a moment's silence, he whispered, "So, my fate with the lineage of the Zhennan King has long been predetermined. Our journey here is not only to avoid disaster, but also to open the ancient seal?"
Li Yun nodded slightly, his tone firm, "That's right. Although this trip is risky, if the two factions do not unite, the future of the Apocalypse Dynasty will be in jeopardy." His eyes were bright, with a determination that was difficult to conceal.
Gu Yichen was overwhelmed with emotion upon hearing this. He looked out the window and murmured softly, "It turns out the fate I bear is no longer something I can escape. If that's the case, then I'll just keep going." He turned and looked at Li Yun, his eyes filled with trust and determination.
Li Yun smiled slightly, his eyes gentle but firm, "As long as Your Highness is determined, the Land of Apocalypse will no longer be a dormant ancient land. It will open up new vitality for the future."
Outside, neatly arranged horsemen flanked the convoy. Ji Junche, Feng Jingxuan, Feng Jingyan, and Feng Jingsu rode side by side, their expressions solemn and their gazes sharp, as if ready to respond to any sudden attack. The mountain road seemed unusually quiet in the early morning. Occasionally, a bird chirped, only to vanish as if uneasy in the austere atmosphere.
Feng Jingxuan quietly approached Ji Junche and whispered, "This trip is dangerous. There have been frequent disturbances in the court in the past few days. I'm afraid someone has come to stop us. We need to be extra careful."
Ji Junche nodded slightly, his expression solemn, "I have arranged for spies to lurk around here. If there is any unusual movement, they will notify us immediately."
As the convoy slowly moved forward, the occasional bird calls from the mountains seemed to remind them of the unknown dangers lurking ahead. Everyone's heart was tense, and they vaguely realized that this journey would be a turning point in their destiny.
Lu Ling'er gently stroked her belly, eyes closed, as if feeling the pulse of the new life within. Her heart was filled with both longing for the future and a resolute determination to face the coming storms. Whether for her unborn child or for the fate of her family, she knew she had to move forward fearlessly.
This group of people, connected by hearts and minds, are destined to bear the brunt of future change. They will no longer be bystanders, but key players in the unfolding story of their destiny.
