The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

The two brothers of the Zuo family, who had been slow to arrive, had received an imperial order to guard the city gates, and they knew the weight of this responsibility!

Although they were secretly worried that General Hua might have encountered something extremely difficult in Xu Mansion, they always kept their mission in mind and did not dare to leave their post in the slightest.

They stood quietly at the city gate, their eyes fixed on the road ahead, as if ready to meet any invading enemy at any time.

Suddenly, a strange black shadow of a monster flashed across the midnight sky. The shadow was extremely fast and disappeared into the vast night in an instant.

Zuo Nian watched it streak across the sky, feeling a strong sense of unease and anxiety welling up in his heart.

He wanted to take action, but he didn't know what to do, so he could only stand there helplessly and worry.

"Don't worry, Hua Ye is more capable than the two of us combined. You don't have to worry too much about General Hua."

Zuo Yun patted Zuo Nian's shoulder earnestly, trying to soothe his anxious heart.

Zuo Nian nodded slightly, the worry in his eyes had not completely dissipated, but he still tried to calm himself down.

He stood on the top of the city gate, looking at the slightly remote Xu Mansion in the northeast.

At this moment, a light black smoke rose from the direction of Xufu. The smoke gradually thinned out, as if telling some unknown secret. The fire also turned from black and red to white flames and gradually disappeared.

Zuo Nian stared at the smoke, his mind racing. He wondered what had happened in the Xu Mansion, and whether General Hua could survive this crisis safely...

Other places were not affected at all this time. The reason is really puzzling, as if some mysterious force was operating in secret.

One can't help but wonder, was this all orchestrated by someone? Was it targeting her or the man next to her?

Zuo Nian pondered silently for a long time, his sword-like eyebrows slowly rising up like clever brushstrokes, as if he was pondering some elusive mystery.

Finally, he slowly expressed the doubts and suspicions in his heart like a heavy stone.

"Such a grand display, if it's not intentional, it's really a bit far-fetched. I'm afraid there are some unknown secrets hidden in it."

Zuo Yun tried hard to calm his heart which was beating like a drum. His face became paler and paler, and his whole body was as tense as a fully drawn bowstring that could break at any time.

He was filled with fear, fearing that the ferocious beast roaring in the sky would suddenly descend upon this originally quiet and peaceful city. If that happened, a tragic disaster with no lives lost would be unavoidable.

Fortunately, those dangerous beings were tightly bound in the Void Palace and could not escape.

After confirming this fact, the huge rock hanging in Zuo Yun's heart finally fell a little, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

They watched quietly at the seemingly silent but endless crisis-filled movement. As time passed, the movement became smaller and smaller, as if a fierce battle was gradually calming down.

The two men's originally solemn expressions gradually relaxed at this moment. Zuo Yun slowly exhaled a turbid breath and said softly: "It seems that this crisis is finally over!"

"It should be over. That extremely strong white flame seemed to carry some kind of deadly power, like a final blow, completely eliminating all threats."

A barely perceptible trace of fatigue flashed across Zuo Nian's eyes, but more of it was a sense of relief at surviving the disaster.

Zuo Nian frowned, his eyes fixed firmly on the direction of Xu Mansion, his eyes revealing unconcealed worry and anxiety. His hands, which were hanging on the edge of his pants, tightened and loosened.

He was still worried, as if there was a restless deer running around in his heart.

He tilted his head slightly, a hint of worry in his eyes, looked at Zuo Yun beside him, and said softly: "Brother, I'm always a little worried. I want to go see how the master is doing?"

Zuo Yun looked at his anxious look, and a strange emotion surged in his heart.

He held his arm tightly, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes, and then he said, "But what if something happens to the city gate and I'm the only one who can't defend it? The safety of this city depends on us two brothers."

However, he could no longer wait and was only concerned about the safety of his master, General Hua, and Hua Ye.

He suddenly pulled away Zuo Yun's hand that was pressing on him, and rushed up like an arrow. The determination made Zuo Yun stunned for a moment.

"It's already daybreak. I'll be back soon. I'll definitely be back within an hour!"

His voice was firm and powerful, echoing in the air with an irresistible force.

The sky in the east gradually turned pale, and the rising sun slowly rose. The warm light was so warm and golden that it made it impossible to open one's eyes.

However, to him, the sunlight seemed particularly dazzling, as if reminding him of the urgency of time.

After Zuo Nian finished speaking, he struggled to break free from Zuo Yun's restraints. His feet moved like the wind and he instantly soared into the air, rushing towards Xu Mansion.

His figure became smaller and smaller in the morning light, but his determination became stronger and stronger.

Fatigue swept over Zuo Yun like a tide, and his face was full of exhaustion and confusion.

But when he saw Zuo Nian's departing back, the reason and spirit in his heart seemed to be awakened by a mysterious force. He slowly stood up, his chaotic face gradually relaxed, and that resolute expression appeared on his face again.

In less than an incense stick of time, Zuo Nian landed steadily in front of Xu Mansion's gate.

The gate, which should have been dilapidated and desolate, now seemed to be cast under a spell, shining brightly and majestically, as if hiding endless secrets and power...
