The Cloud Feather of the Red Chamber: A Marriage Arranged with Gong Yuanzheng at the Start

Inside an inn in the Old Dust Valley, Jia Min was reading a book with her two children.

The sudden explosion startled Jia Min, causing her teacup to tremble and fall to the ground.

The maidservant serving nearby immediately stepped forward and cleaned up the broken pieces.

Daiyu and Qingyu felt uneasy, and the two siblings unconsciously moved closer to their mother.

Jia Min looked at Lin Qingyue, about to ask her what had happened, but found that her eldest daughter was also restless.

Jia Min's heart sank. She had sensed something was wrong when she was asked to leave the palace that morning.

Especially when we arrived at Old Dust Valley, in the middle of the morning, the entire market was deserted, and all the shops were closed.

This is completely different from what the two daughters wrote in their letters.

At that moment, Jia Min knew in her heart that something big must have happened at the palace gate.

Will her eldest daughter become a widow on her first day of marriage?

She looked at Lin Qingyue, her tone carrying a hint of seriousness.

"Yue'er, do you know something? Tell your mother, what exactly happened at the palace gate?"

No sooner had Jia Min finished speaking than an even louder explosion rang out, and the ground beneath their feet seemed to tremble.

Lin Qingyue could no longer sit still, so she immediately stood up and walked outside.

"Mother, you stay here with Yu'er and Qingyu and wait. I'll go outside and take a look."

By the time Jia Min realized what was happening and was about to speak up to stop her, Lin Qingyue had already disappeared through the doorway.

Qiulan hurriedly tried to catch up, but Jia Min called her back.

"Qiu Lan, you've been at the palace gate for so long, do you know what happened with the explosion just now?"

Qiulan was completely bewildered. Seeing Jia Min's unusually fierce expression, she immediately knelt down.

"Madam, this servant does not know."

After thinking for a moment, she replied respectfully:

"The Shang Palace was responsible for building the palace gate weapons; it's possible that the son-in-law and his men were testing newly developed firearms."

Jia Min's mood was not eased in the slightest by Qiu Lan's words.

Looking at the empty doorway, Jia Min frowned slightly. What kind of firearm could have such power?

Daiyu became anxious. She broke free from her mother's embrace and ran outside.

Having been by Gong Zishang's side for so long, she knew very well what kind of firearms caused such an explosion.

The fact that they used that weapon suggests that the palace gates are really in trouble.

Jia Min grabbed her arm.

"Mother?" Daiyu looked at Jia Min with a worried expression.

Jia Min hugged her back into her arms. "Yu'er, how old are you now? How can you be of any help?"

“We’ll wait here. Once things are resolved, your sister, brother-in-law, and your master will naturally come looking for you.”

After such a long period of conditioning, Lin Qingyue's physical condition has improved considerably.

She quickly arrived at the entrance of the inn, but before she could even step over the threshold, she was stopped by Jin Huai and Jin Cheng.

“Madam, Young Master Zheng instructed that you cannot leave the inn.”

No one knows what kind of person the "strange person" is. Although Gong Yuanzheng and Gong Zishang have made sufficient preparations, it is still hard to guarantee that no accident will happen.

Before leaving, Gong Yuanzheng instructed Jin Huai and Jin Cheng to make sure that Lin Qingyue and the other three were safe.

The guards who were supposed to be stationed at the palace gates were now gathered outside the inn.

If the situation at the palace gates becomes uncontrollable, Jin Huai and Jin Cheng's mission is to safely deliver Lin Qingyue and the other three to the Lin family.

Jin Huai and Jin Cheng exchanged a glance. The two explosions were more intense than the last, and they were equally anxious.

However, they could not disobey Gong Yuanzheng's orders. Even though they were extremely anxious, they still stood in the doorway and did not give way.

Lin Qingyue took a deep breath, suppressing the anxiety in her heart, and calmly spoke.

"I'm not going out. Jin Huai, go check out the back mountain and see what the situation is now."

Jin Huai bowed without hesitation and accepted the order. He then used his lightness skill to rush towards the explosion site.

------

Looking at the corpses lying on the ground, Gong Yuanzheng had no intention of investigating why they had ended up like this.

All he wanted to do now was get to the inn as quickly as possible and be by Lin Qingyue's side.

He turned to look at Gong Shangjiao, "Brother, I'm going down first."

Gong Shangjiao naturally understood Gong Yuanzheng's feelings at that moment.

"You and your siblings can start packing your luggage for the expedition."

Gong Yuanzheng couldn't stop smiling. "Okay, brother, we'll go prepare right away."

After saying that, he turned and headed towards the front of the mountain without looking back.

Halfway there, they unexpectedly met Jin Huai. Seeing Gong Yuanzheng's smiling face, Jin Huai immediately felt relieved.

The matter of the supernatural being has been resolved!

At the entrance of the inn, Lin Qingyue paced anxiously back and forth, glancing into the distance every now and then, but she couldn't see Jin Huai anywhere.

In her anxiety, a warm and familiar embrace enveloped her.

"Yue'er..."

The boy's clear voice gently reached her ears.

It was accompanied by an unbearable itch.

Lin Qingyue breathed a long sigh of relief. Just from Gong Yuanzheng's voice, she knew that the matter of the supernatural beings had been completely resolved.

She turned around and looked at Gong Yuanzheng.

The boy's smile was brighter than the warm sun, and his star-like eyes were fixed on her.

He pressed his forehead against Lin Qingyue's forehead.

The hand wrapped around Lin Qingyue's waist unconsciously tightened its grip.

"Yue'er, I'll take you on a journey through the martial world..."

------

"Burn them all," Gong Zishang calmly ordered.

The guards did not approach the corpse, but instead raised their crossbows, which were bound with flames, and shot at it.

The strange person was so peculiar that no one dared to approach him easily.

Under the raging flames, the alien's corpse gradually turned to ashes.

Gong Shangjiao looked at Gong Zishang and bowed respectfully.

"Zhi Ren, I'll leave the matter of moving the palace to you."

Gong Zishang smiled and said, "Shang Jiao, don't worry. You can go and handle the affairs of the court. I will make sure the relocation of the palace is done perfectly."

Gong Zishang knew how heavy the burden on her shoulders was.

The relocation of the palace gates was only the first step; naturally, all the people of the Old Dust Valley would also have to be relocated.

The families of the guards and servants inside the palace gates were all people from the Old Dust Valley.

During this palace relocation, all the guards will naturally be taken with them, while a group of servants will be released.

Those commoners who were willing to relocate along with the palace gates naturally took them with them.

Gong Zishang raised her eyes and looked at everyone around her, taking in their expressions. She smiled slightly and calmly gave the order.

"Pack up the Snow Palace, Moon Palace, and Flower Palace as soon as possible and move them to the front of the mountain. Once a suitable location is found, the entire palace will be moved!"

"Yes! Take up the blade!"

No one raised any objections, including the two elders and Young Master Yue. After seeing the strange man's appearance, who would dare to stay at the palace gate?

Death is not scary; what is scary is becoming a monster like the Extraordinary Ones.
