Traveling through another world to stir the emperor's heart

Chapter 205: Meeting on the Road

At this time, Feng Qingcheng did not dare to delay at all after receiving the secret letter in Beiming. She immediately spurred her horse and rushed to Lan Kingdom day and night.

After several days of travel, Feng Qingcheng finally arrived at the border of Lan Kingdom.

However, just as he was about to take a break, he heard the sound of fierce fighting in the distance.

He frowned and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a group of people besieging a man in white.

The man was very skilled in martial arts and had powerful swordsmanship, but facing an enemy that was several times his size, he was clearly overwhelmed.

Feng Qingcheng didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but when she saw that the man in white was alone and the Beiyan people were acting arrogantly, she couldn't help but feel indignant.

He snorted coldly, drew the sword from his waist, and rushed into the battle circle on horseback.

His sword was as powerful as a rainbow, and he blocked the attacks of several people in an instant.

"Who are you? How dare you ruin our good deeds? If you don't step back, don't blame us for being ruthless." The leading Beiyan man shouted sternly.

Feng Qingcheng sneered, pointing the tip of her sword at the other party: "In broad daylight, you are bullying the minority with your numbers, and you still have the nerve to say such words?"

At this time, the man in white, Ling Yuxiao, saw Feng Qingcheng coming to help. Although he was grateful, he was also worried.

He shouted loudly: "Brother, I appreciate your kindness, but leave quickly and don't get into trouble because of me!"

Feng Qingcheng seemed not to hear it and was only focused on dealing with the enemy in front of her.

Seeing that persuasion was useless, the other party sent some men to attack Feng Qingcheng.

Feng Qingcheng showed no fear and fought the enemy back to back with Ling Yuxiao.

After a fierce battle for a while, the group found it difficult to win quickly. The leader gave a look and everyone gradually retreated.

Feng Qingcheng sheathed her sword and turned to look at Ling Yuxiao.

Ling Yuxiao clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "Thank you very much for your generosity, but I'm afraid you've offended quite a few people by doing this."

Feng Qingcheng waved her hand nonchalantly and said with a smile, "When we see injustice, we should draw our swords and help. This is our duty. Brother Ling, you don't have to be polite."

Ling Yuxiao's eyes flashed with admiration when he heard this. He then put away his sword and bowed to Feng Qingcheng, saying, "My name is Ling Yuxiao. May I know your name, brother?"

Feng Qingcheng smiled slightly and returned the greeting: "My name is Feng Qingcheng."

When Ling Yuxiao heard the name "Feng Qingcheng", a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled and said: "Brother Feng's name reminds me of an old friend."

Feng Qingcheng's heart moved, and she pretended to be curious and asked, "Oh? What is the name of Brother Ling's old friend?"

Ling Yuxiao smiled slightly, with a hint of nostalgia in his tone: "Her name is Feng Qingyue."

"Feng Qingyue?" Feng Qingcheng's heart suddenly shook, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He subconsciously tightened his grip on the hilt of the sword, his brows furrowed slightly, his mind racing with thoughts: "Feng Qingyue? Isn't that my sister's name? But... she's never left Beiming, so how could she be Ling Yuxiao's old friend? Could it be someone with the same name?"

He was filled with doubts, but remained calm on the surface. He pretended to be relaxed and asked, "Brother Ling, I wonder who this Feng Qingyue you just mentioned is from? I'm a little curious."

Ling Yuxiao smiled slightly, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes. "Miss Feng is a girl I met in Beiyan Frost Moon City. She is extremely intelligent and has a strong character. We have a good rapport."

Feng Qingcheng was even more puzzled when she heard this: "Beiyan Frost Moon City? The woman His Majesty brought back was also called Feng Qingyue. Could they be the same person? But...how did she end up in Beiyan? And how did she know Ling Yuxiao?"

He had a feeling that things were not simple, but it was inconvenient to ask more questions at the moment, so he could only follow the topic and say, "I see. It seems that this Miss Feng is indeed extraordinary, and she has caused Brother Ling to miss her so much."

Ling Yuxiao nodded, his tone filled with emotion: "Yes, she is indeed different. However, Brother Feng's name is so similar to hers, which makes me feel it is a bit of a coincidence."

Feng Qingcheng smiled and said casually, "The world is so big, there are many people with the same name. Maybe it's fate."

Ling Yuxiao laughed upon hearing this: "That's true. However, being able to meet Brother Feng is indeed a rare fate."

The two smiled at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed.

Ling Yuxiao suddenly asked, "Brother Feng, are you going to Lan Country this time?"

Feng Qingcheng came back to her senses and nodded, "Exactly. I was just about to go to the capital of Lan Kingdom to handle some personal matters."

A smile flashed in Ling Yuxiao's eyes, and he continued to ask: "Brother Feng doesn't look like a Beiyan person!"

Feng Qingcheng nodded, her tone somewhat cordial: "I'm from Beiming. Where's Brother Ling?"

Ling Yuxiao's smile deepened: "What a coincidence, I am also from Beiming. I just came out of Beiyan Shuangyue City and was about to go to Lan Country. I didn't expect to meet a fellow countryman here. It's really fate."

Feng Qingcheng felt a sense of familiarity when she heard this: "So Brother Ling is also from Beiming. No wonder we hit it off right away. Since we're going the same way, why not travel together so we can look after each other along the way."

Ling Yuxiao smiled brightly: "That's exactly what I meant. When we're out and about, we should take care of each other."

The two of them walked together and found that they had similar personalities during their conversation. Since they were both from Beiming, they naturally had more topics to talk about.

The two talked about everything from the customs and habits of Beiming to the current situation, and they got along quite well.

A few days later, they finally arrived at the capital of Lan Kingdom.

After entering the city, Ling Yuxiao stopped and turned to ask, "Brother Feng, where are you going next?"

Feng Qingcheng was stunned and thought to herself.

The secret letter only mentioned that he should go to the Lan Kingdom Palace, but this matter was extremely confidential and he could not tell Ling Yuxiao directly.

What's more, the palace was heavily guarded. How could an outsider like him easily enter?

Thinking of this, Feng Qingcheng smiled casually: "I need to find an inn to stay and rest for a while. Where's Brother Ling?"

Ling Yuxiao nodded without asking any more questions: "Together. I know there's a nice inn nearby. It's quiet and suitable for rest."

The two arrived at the inn, and the innkeeper greeted them warmly: "Two guests, would you like to stop by or stay the night?"

Feng Qingcheng said, "Stay in the hotel, two upper rooms."

The shopkeeper quickly responded, "Okay! Please follow me, both of you."

After settling down, Feng Qingcheng sat in the room.

He whispered to himself, "Looks like I can only wait for Qiansan to come find me. I hope he can get here soon."

The next morning, Feng Qingcheng got up early, opened the window, and looked towards the imperial palace in the distance.

He thought to himself, "Why hasn't Qian San appeared yet? Did something unexpected happen?"

Just as he was thinking, there was a slight knock on the door.

Feng Qingcheng asked warily, "Who?"

"Sir, it's me, I'm here to bring you breakfast." The waiter's voice came from outside the door.

Feng Qingcheng breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door.

The waiter came in with a tray, placed some exquisite breakfast items on the table, and said with a smile, "Sir, this is our specialty breakfast. Please enjoy it."

Feng Qingcheng nodded in thanks. After the waiter left, he closed the door and was about to eat when he suddenly found a note under the tray.

He was startled and quickly picked up the note. He unfolded it and saw the words written on it: "Tonight at midnight, in the bamboo forest south of the city, 1,300."

A hint of joy flashed in Feng Qingcheng's eyes, and then she quickly burned the note, thinking to herself, "It's finally here."
