Chapter 460 Visitors

"Nan Nan..." Shen Wenchen sighed and held his wife in his arms.

"You have to believe me. As long as I'm here, nothing will happen to us."

"Um."

Nanzhi responded softly, then wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes and whispered.

"Go back home and have a good rest. You've worked hard these past two days."

"fine."

On this day alone, a total of 600 households left Yancheng. Together, men, women, old and young, there were nearly 3,000 people in total.

The snow at the entrance of Yancheng was trampled flat, leaving only dark footprints leading straight to the mountain forest.

The wheel marks and footsteps were layer upon layer, and finally only a deep ink mark was drawn in the white snow.

It snowed heavily on the night of the 29th of the twelfth lunar month.

The snowflakes fell in a hurry and panic, as if they were trying to cover up something.

The 30th day of the twelfth lunar month.

It was not until the end of the morning that the gray sky became brighter.

Even though there was chaos in the city yesterday, now on New Year's Eve, people have hung up couplets and red lanterns.

A rare excitement emanated from every house, and the defenders at the city gate also gathered in the tent nearby.

"The snow fell really hard last night."

"Yes, yes, my head was full in less than a quarter of an hour. I don't know what happened to the people who left the city yesterday."

One of the guards sighed, feeling unspeakable regret in his heart.

They had all tried to persuade them, but not only did those people not listen, they also felt that everyone was selfish in not letting them leave the city.

There are also those who go home after listening to the advice, but after all, they are in the minority.

"What else can we do? We have done what we should do. The city lord said that the things outside have become more and more rampant recently. Let us all cheer up and make sure to guard the city gate."

"God really doesn't want us alive."

"Who says it isn't?"

While drinking hot soup, even though the guards were worried, they never said anything depressing.

Things outside are very evil, but the city lord has never given up on those villages, and they feel at ease following such people.

As he was talking, he heard the sound of horse hooves suddenly outside the city gate.

"Yes, has someone come back?"

Those with sharp ears heard the noise and quickly put down the bowl in their hands and picked up the spear beside them.

"I don't know. Let's go and have a look."

Several people looked at each other, their faces a little solemn.

Some of the fast runners had already reached the city gate tower and saw a man and a horse in the snow heading towards the city gate.

"Who is coming!"

When the man heard the noise, he reined in his horse and stopped there.

Under the beige cloak was a gorgeous face. After just one glance at it from a distance, the guard was stunned.

"I came from Kyoto to look for someone. I would also like to ask the military master to open the city gate."

"The city lord has an order..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was stopped.

"Let her in."

Shen Wenchen looked at the people outside the city and frowned slightly, feeling a little surprised.

"Yes, City Lord."

The guard saluted and hurriedly got off the tower.

The city gate opened, and the woman rode into Yancheng.

The bay-red horse holds its head high, and its appearance is gorgeous, but its posture makes people lose their soul.

"Thank you."

The woman just glanced sideways slightly, causing the guard beside him to drop his bowl, and the scalding hot soup splashed on his feet. The pain made him grin, but he couldn't show it, so he could only hide in the tent with red ears.

The woman smiled brightly and didn't care.

"See the imperial concubine, I wonder if the imperial concubine came to Yancheng for official reasons?"

Shen Wenchen took the lead in saluting, and the guards who were still infatuated just now also curtsied.

"General Shen, you're welcome. My coming today has nothing to do with the official family." The smile on Mingqin's face faded a little, and her eyes fell coldly on Shen Wenchen.

"Now that I have left the palace, I am no longer a royal concubine. I hope General Shen will stop calling me that."

Shen Wenchen responded and then stood up straight.

Even though she is no longer a noble concubine, the things she brought have actually saved countless people's lives.

But this level is worthy of his admiration.

"General Shen, I want to look for someone."

After Ming Qin finished speaking, he glanced around, and then Shen Wenchen seemed to react and led the people back to the city lord's mansion.

A large family in the city lord's mansion had just had breakfast and were sitting in the main room discussing what kind of reunion banquet they would prepare later in the day. But just in the middle of the conversation, they saw Shen Wenchen, who had just gone out a quarter of an hour ago, bringing a woman back.

Nanzhi looked at the woman following him with an expression on his face, feeling that this person was very familiar.

"Wen Chen, what is this?"

Mother Lin looked at the beautiful woman with her eyelids twitching, a little surprised.

This son-in-law has only been out for a quarter of an hour, why did he come back with a woman?

Or is she such a beautiful woman?

The rest of the Lin family were also dumbfounded, their eyes widened with disbelief on their faces.

Where did this woman come from?

Also, I brought it into my home!

"Nannan, please come with me to the study. I have some things to discuss with you."

It was rare for Shen Wenchen not to say hello to everyone first. He didn't even answer Mother Lin's questions, and he directly focused his attention on Nanzhi, who was confused at the side.

"Ah good."

Nanzhi nodded and stood up even though he didn't understand the current situation.

Watching the three people go to the study, the rest of the Lin family seemed to be thundering.

"Well, then, who is that woman?"

Sun Cui stammered and asked with wide eyes.

"I don't know..." Lin Ercheng was equally at a loss, although the woman was indeed beautiful...

But my brother-in-law shouldn't be someone who knows how to raise an extramarital wife.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Jian, He Zhiyu and the others had just returned from buying pastries from outside, and saw everyone standing there stunned, and suddenly became curious.

What's going on here?

"No, it's okay. You kids shouldn't ask more."

Lin Ercheng stroked his son's head and then said calmly.

He estimated that everyone was as confused as he was.

The three of them sat looking at each other in the study. Nanzhi looked at the woman in front of her and felt that she was indescribably familiar. However, no matter how she thought about it, she could not recall where she had seen such a beautiful woman.

She had 200% trust in Shen Wenchen, so naturally she wouldn't think too much about it, but he definitely had his reasons for bringing the person back.

"Nannan, this is Mingqin, our senior."

Shen Wenchen explained.

Upon hearing the word "senior", Nanzhi's heart skipped a beat, as if he had guessed something.

"Hello, I am Mingqin. I traveled to this world a few years before you did."

Mingqin smiled and stretched out his hand.

She and Shen Wenchen didn't know each other in Kyoto at first, and they only met at a palace banquet.

But two months ago, a methane pit suddenly appeared in the palace, which surprised her.

After all, in the past few years since she traveled through time, she has known only a handful of time travellers, and the only ones she has really seen are Lu Fengyun, who is now in Kyoto, and the woman named Su Tao.
