On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

In Wan'er's arms, Youmeng's wailing gradually turned into intermittent, exhausted sobs.

Tears had soaked Wan'er's chest, leaving large dark marks.

Wan'er's own eyes were also red and swollen, and the tear marks on her face had not yet dried.

She held the young killer, who was devastated by the great pain, tightly and tenderly in her arms, as if she were holding a child who had suffered injustice.

Her slender white hands gently stroked Youmeng's trembling back over and over again, her voice hoarse from crying, but remarkably firm:

"Good sister...I know...I know everything..."

She took a deep breath and suppressed the soreness in her throat.

"I knew all along that the Twelve Celestial Immortals had their own bitter pasts, carrying deep blood feuds, which is why you came together. But I never imagined that you...you, the seemingly most heroic and strong sister, would actually bear such heartbreaking pain!"

Her voice was filled with deep pity for Youmeng, "Silly sister, you've been fighting this bone-chilling hatred all by yourself for so many years. It must have been hard for you..."

Wan'er held up Youmeng's tear-stained, now numb and cold face, and made her look into hers. She spoke word for word with unquestionable confidence, "But sister, listen! Believe in me! And even more so, believe in the prince!"

Her eyes were gleaming with brilliance, filled with absolute confidence in Lin Zhen's abilities:

"Since the prince has said that to you, he... he will definitely keep his word! Since he said he would take care of it, he will definitely take care of it to the end. And, sister can tell you,"

Wan'er leaned close to Youmeng's ear, her voice lowered, but every word was as clear as an oath.

"From what I know about him, he'll either not do it, or if he does, he'll do it better than you can imagine. He'll tear down the stone archway that defamed your father and mother's innocence, smash it to pieces, and pulverize it into ashes! All the demons and monsters who participated in the frame-up and aided the evildoers will not be able to escape! Your father and mother's innocence will be cleared completely! It will be announced to the world in an upright manner! They will receive justice that's been overdue for twenty years!"

Wan'er's promise was like a torch in the darkness, lighting up a faint flame deep in Youmeng's empty eyes.

The long-accumulated grief and despair seemed to have finally found a haven for venting and temporary respite in Wan'er's unwavering assurance and warm embrace.

Youmeng's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and immense fatigue overwhelmed her like a tide.

She stopped talking, but like a tired bird that finally returned to its nest, she buried her heavy head deeper into Wan'er's warm and fragrant embrace, motionless, as if she had fallen asleep, or as if she was just indulging in this hard-earned comfort, unwilling to get up and face the cold reality again.

Wan'er stopped talking and just hugged her tighter, conveying strength with her silent companionship.

......

Wuqing County, on the banks of the North Grand Canal.

Lin Zhen brought Cheng Xuan with him, but did not bring a large group of people. It was just the two of them on two horses, speeding on the official road.

The horse's hooves pounded the solid pavement, raising two long trails of dust. Cheng Xuan rode closely beside Lin Zhen, braving the whistling wind. Finally, unable to resist, she tilted her head and asked loudly, "Hey! Just the two of us? Aren't you the prince?"

She looked around suspiciously at the desolate official road. "Don't you need to bring more guards? What if you run into someone who's blind?"

The sound of the wind blew her questions in pieces.

Lin Zhen raised his lips in a confident arc, tilted his head slightly, and his voice was unusually clear in the wind: "Guard?"

His tone was full of teasing and strong confidence. "Are you talking about those strong men in the mansion? Or your sisters in the Tiandao Camp?"

He shook his head. "Are they enough for me to fight, plus you?"

He deliberately glanced at Chengxuan with a meaningful look.

Chengxuan was choked by him!

Thinking back to the time in the camp when he'd been caught by her ankle with his strange agility, she felt a surge of dissatisfaction and shame, but she couldn't refute him! She could only turn her head away in anger: "Hmph! Arrogant!"

Lin Zhen ignored her displeasure and simply said, "I've asked Hou Chun to prepare for the wedding, so he doesn't have time to deal with us. Today's trip to Cangzhou will be light, just the two of us! Let's go!"

He squeezed the horse's belly hard, and the warhorse let out a long neigh and its speed suddenly increased!

"Cangzhou?!" Cheng Xuan's eyes widened in surprise. "Why go to Cangzhou? So far?!"

She was completely confused.

Lin Zhen didn't even turn his head: "You still don't know about You Meng?"

Cheng Xuan curled her lips in disdain: "Her? She has such a cold face all day long, as if everyone owes her money! She doesn't talk about her affairs, so how would I know? Who wants to pry?"

Lin Zhen's voice carried a hint of deep meaning, drifting along with the wind: "You'll understand when you get there. It's just right..."

He paused slightly, lowering his voice with a strange allure, "I'll also tell you about the method that will make you stronger quickly."

Chengxuan's heart trembled!

Get stronger quickly!

These few words instantly dispelled all her dissatisfaction and doubts!

A strong desire to explore and yearn immediately ignited in his eyes!

"Gee!" She didn't ask any more questions, and with a delicate shout, the horse under her crotch also sped up and chased after Lin Zhen.

As they sped along, the two of them couldn't help but exchange a few words.

Cheng Xuan was not a cunning person. Under Lin Zhen's intentional or unintentional guidance, her life story unfolded in front of Lin Zhen like a scroll.

It turned out that she was the daughter of a wealthy businessman in Jiangnan. She came from a wealthy family and had lived a life of luxury since childhood without encountering any major setbacks in life.

It was only later that the family came to the capital in order to expand their business in the north.

Because of his extremely high talent, Qingxia recognized his talent and selected him for key training in Tiandao.

After joining Tiandao, he took on some well-paid tasks with his superb martial arts skills, and accumulated a lot of wealth.

Among the many sisters of Tiandao who have become gloomy due to blood feuds, her life experience without any disasters, which can even be called "rich and idle", is indeed unique and different.

Lin Zhen understood: No wonder this girl has such a lively personality and a bit of naive arrogance, and no wonder she is so obsessed with increasing her strength but does not have the deep-seated hatred that drives You Meng.

We traveled very fast all the way, although not at the 800-mile mark, it was as fast as a meteor.

After running for a day and a night, when the outline of the towering Wuqing County wall appeared at the end of the field of vision, even Cheng Xuan, who had lived in the prosperous capital for a long time, was shocked by the scene before her and opened her cherry lips slightly!

The city walls are not static!

A huge wall hundreds of feet long is being raised and thickened in full swing!

Countless huge stone slabs were lifted by cranes onto scaffolding several meters high. Craftsmen climbed and worked on the wooden frames like ants. The sounds of shouting, axes, and stones colliding merged into one!

The dust rises, filled with a sense of vigorous and upward power!

The scale of this expansion project shows that the financial resources and ambitions of this place far exceed those of ordinary state capitals!
