When the words "Qi Yun wants to see you" came out, the whole audience was shocked. The captain looked at the experienced woman in disbelief and said, "Your name is... Qi Yun?"

"Who is General Weiyuan now? Is he... an old man or a middle-aged man?"

"The latter... the current general's name is Zhan Kou."

Upon hearing the news, Qi Yun burst into tears. She held her daughter's hand tightly, her whole body trembling violently, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.

Upon seeing this, the captain simply bowed silently to Qi Yun and went into the mansion to report. Before leaving, he also instructed the other soldiers to treat them well and not to neglect them.

An Ling looked at Qi Yun as if she had just met her for the first time. What she said really shocked An Ling. She had originally thought that Qi Yun's family was just ordinary citizens of Tianxing Prefecture, but she didn't expect that they were actually related to the General's Mansion? !

Qi Yun cried so much that her eyes were swollen, but she still bowed to An Ling and said, "Qi Yun thanks the immortal for escorting me. I can't repay you in this life, but I hope to be your cow in the next life..."

An Ling realized that there was something wrong with what she said. She quickly covered Qi Yun's mouth and said, "Quickly spit out the saliva before you speak. Don't say such nonsense. We can talk about it in the next life. Besides, we all have to be human beings. We can't let others work like slaves for us!"

Qi Yun smiled softly, gently pulled An Ling's hand away, and said with a smile: "An Ling... Master An, you are still so special... I am really sorry, the reason why I did not reveal my situation... is actually because there are some unspeakable difficulties..."

An Ling's ears pricked up. Could there be some secret in Panxi Village? Qi Yun was just playing Tai Chi, saying that she would know it when she knew it, and then she didn't continue, leaving An Ling to worry.

Soon, the three were invited into the general's mansion. Qin Lanzhi was shocked by the magnificent general's mansion. She secretly raised her eyes and imprinted this magnificent mansion in her mind. An Ling walked calmly, as if she had never visited the ancient house before.

There are towering ancient trees in the palace, among which a big banyan tree stands in the center, with luxuriant branches and leaves and a thick trunk, which looks like it needs ten people to hug it together; under the banyan tree, exotic flowers and plants compete for beauty, and the rockery and spring water reflect each other, blending with the garden on the side, forming an effect of "one scene with every step, and changing scenery with time", which makes people feel as if they are traveling in a painting.

If these simple and elegant arrangements require aesthetic appreciation to be understood, then the flower pots inlaid with gold as decoration are a sign of wealth that even a three-year-old child can see - General Weiyuan's Mansion is indeed the place where money and power are in the palm of your hand in Tianxing Prefecture.

"Sister An, how much can a flower pot like this sell for?" Qin Lanzhi pulled An Ling's hand, and after An Ling bent down, she whispered in her ear.

"I guess it's about the level you can't afford even if you hunt in the mountains for ten lifetimes."

After hearing this, Qin Lanzhi was so scared that she shrank back, fearing that she would have to pay for compensation if she touched the flowerpot.

The old butler who brought them in just kept looking at Qi Yun and spoke to her cautiously, ignoring the two girls behind him. An Ling and Qin Lanzhi were also happily whispering and "commenting" on the layout of the general's mansion.

……

"Miss...it's really you. At that time, we all thought you had..."

"At that time, I was captured by the enemy. After experiencing some changes, I escaped with my life, but I just got out of the tiger's den and fell into the wolf's den. Fortunately... Azhi's father saved me, so I was able to escape..."

"Miss Wuuwu..." The old butler burst into tears. He watched Qi Yun grow up, just like his own daughter. Now, with just a few words, he brought up all the suffering she had endured over the years. It was really sad and distressing.

……

The contemporary General Weiyuan is named Qi Zhankou. He is over 40 years old, but his hair is already half white. He is not tall, but short and strong. Now when he takes off his armor at home, he looks like an ordinary middle-aged man, and he cannot be associated with the four words "General Weiyuan" at all.

He stood in the hall with his hands behind his back, staring without blinking at the knife on the table that was almost half as long as an ordinary sword. Although there was no expression on his face, his body was trembling slightly.

"General, we have been brought here."

Qi Zhankou turned around abruptly. With just one glance, the iron-blooded general who had been in the military for half his life had tears in his eyes. He was somewhat incredulous and asked hoarsely, "Little sister? How did you... become like this..."

The person before him no longer had any trace of Qi Yun, the most talented and beautiful woman in Tianxing. The poor life in the mountain village made her dark and thin, with a few strands of white hair in her bun, and she was dressed like a hunter, completely different from his little sister who loved fancy clothes, poetry and painting.

Qi Yun just smiled bitterly and didn't answer. She bowed to Qi Zhankou, took out a piece of animal skin from her bosom, handed it to Qi Zhankou, took a deep breath, and said in a sonorous and powerful tone that she had never heard in her life: "Qi Yun, you are worthy of the name of the Qi family. After seventeen years, you finally delivered what the Japanese pirates found in Tianxing to General Weiyuan. Please take a look."

A good father will have a good daughter! The daughter of General Weiyuan also used her weak strength to make a contribution to the fight against the Japanese pirates!

"This is the battle formation! Back then, the Japanese pirates gathered their troops and pretended to attack. The dead and wounded pirates and soldiers dyed the sea red. The actual purpose of the pirates was to cover up their magician and sneak into Tianxing to look for something during the war..." Qi Zhankou looked at the animal skin in surprise and asked in astonishment: "Little sister...how did you get it?"

Qi Yun shook her head and said, "It's a long story. To be honest, when I just... left home, I was thinking about my family and the war all the time. This battle formation map was left with me, and it kept me awake all night. But in the years of raising Azhi, I gradually began to let go of my obsession. Maybe I can choose not to appear in any town, so that the thieves won't find my trace. Finally, I can destroy this battle formation map before I die, so that the thieves can't succeed..."

She looked at Qin Lanzhi, and the maternal love in her eyes made her whole body glow. Qi Yun said, "I can escape from the battle between magicians with the formation map, and I can travel thousands of miles with the formation map without being discovered, but I can't give up my own child."

Qi Zhankou didn't understand Xiaomei's experience. She stayed with him for the sake of her child after meeting a bastard! He stared at Qin Lanzhi fiercely with his eyes wide open. It was all this girl's fault. If she hadn't delayed Xiaomei, how could Xiaomei become so haggard!

"Little sister, if you have anything to say, just come home! Do you know that mom and dad were still talking about you before they left? Are you just going to ignore us like this?"

Qi Yun just shook her head sadly, looking irritating.

Feeling the atmosphere becoming increasingly tense, An Ling took the initiative to step forward and introduce herself: "I am An Ling from Canglan Sword Sect, nice to meet you, General."

Qi Zhankou was still angry about his younger sister's life being delayed, but he didn't expect that the most insignificant guy would dare to offend him. He looked at An Ling with a little dissatisfaction, but still replied politely: "Immortal sect disciple? I heard that you brought my younger sister and... and this girl back together? Thank you for your hard work."

An Ling said: "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission and was able to send you two to the general's mansion safely. This has also put an end to my worries. But then again, although An Ling is just an outsider, I still hope that the general will calm down. After all, we are all family."

"Hmph, who is related to this bastard?" Qi Zhankou ignited the powder keg in Qin Lanzhi's heart as soon as he opened his mouth.

Qin Lanzhi had been clenching her fists since she knew her mother's identity. Now, she heard Qi Zhankou's disdain for her. The inferiority complex that had been accumulating since she came to the city burst out at this moment. Her whole face turned red and she screamed, "Yes, I am a bumpkin, a country girl. How can I compare to you noble masters! But you are not allowed to call me a bastard! I am my mother's flesh and blood. My mother is very good, and my father is also very good. I... I... I am not a bastard!"
