The Rebirth of an Orphan

"Don't be afraid, speak slowly." Deng Xiao was also startled. He hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Zhao Chishu in his arms. Then he took out the letter paper that Zhao Chishu was holding tightly in his hand and looked at it carefully.

It read: Shu'er, Deng Xiao, I hope you are safe. You two should go to the island as planned today. You can live in peace and don't need to worry about the troubles in Kyoto. I will not go with you. I have things I must do. We may not meet again. All my blessings and most sincere prayers are for you two. Peace! Hua'er respectfully sends.

……

It was already early summer, and the border trade that had been interrupted was gradually recovering. No one had expected that this was the site of a life-and-death battle between the two countries. In the wasteland outside the city there were still some scattered remains of the dead soldiers.

At this time, a small caravan of more than a dozen people arrived at Cheyi City. They had already reached the archway gate of Cheyi Town. A young bodyguard driving the car whispered to the back of the car, "Miss Zhao, we have arrived at Cheyi Town."

Zhao Xihua slowly opened her eyes, looked at the memorial archway of Cheyi Town outside the car, and sighed:

We have finally arrived at Cheyi City.

When she left Deng Xiao and Zhao Chishu, she did not leave alone. She was very careful about her life, so she took more than a dozen masters from Tianmen Camp with her when she left. She wanted to find Gu Lun alive, even if it was just scattered bones, she would bring Gu Lun home.

Although she experienced many twists and turns along the way and witnessed the desolation and bleakness of the borderland, she never lost hope. If he was really gone, she would leave this world with him. Whether alive or dead, it would be enough.

Revenge has become a joke in her life. How can she take revenge? The real murderer who killed her parents, harmed her master, and condoned Mrs. Ling's brutal murder of her master is her dear grandmother, the powerful Queen Mother.

She wanted nothing more than to find Gu Lun, dead or alive, she just wanted to find him. She had already found out that the place where Gu Lun died was a grassland dozens of miles away from Cheyi Town.

"Miss Zhao?" The bodyguard looked at Zhao Xihua with some worry. Now that the camp owner's life or death was uncertain, the person they were most worried about was Miss Zhao. Everyone in their Tianmen camp was carefully protecting this woman.

"I'm fine, don't worry. Let's go to a hotel in town and rest up first." In order to get here alive, she couldn't fall down.

After receiving the order, the bodyguards restarted the car and drove towards the remote town. The people behind them also checked the goods in the car and followed them into the town.

Zhao Xihua and his friends finally found a larger hotel. This hotel had three floors in total and a yard downstairs for parking goods. It was considered the largest hotel in the entire Cheyi Town.

In order to avoid suspicion, Zhao Xihua covered her head and face with a scarf and wore a slightly darker brown suit, but her slender figure still attracted the attention of the men in the hotel. After all, it was rare to see women in this remote town, let alone a woman with such a slender figure in front of her.

Zhao Xihua remained calm about the men watching her. She knew that the people from Tianmen Camp around her were not pushovers, but she didn't want to cause any trouble.

"Boss, please give me five rooms. Also, my car is parked in your yard. Please take care of it for me."

The boss looked at the stack of banknotes and his eyes lit up immediately. This is a big customer! After the war, the business of the store was very depressed. It was not easy to meet a big customer. The hotel owner couldn't stop smiling.

"You're welcome, you're welcome. It's our job to take good care of the car. Do you want five rooms? That's perfect. There are five empty rooms on the top floor. I'll take you up now."

Zhao Xihua nodded and was about to follow the shop owner upstairs when he unexpectedly saw a burly young soldier in military uniform standing up from the main hall on the first floor near the door. He looked like an officer and was young and handsome, but he seemed a little evil.

There is a restaurant on the first floor of this hotel. Because the braised beef here is very popular, the soldiers stationed here will come here to eat and drink during their rest time.

"Hey, where did this girl come from? So generous? She wants five rooms? Sorry, I have already booked these five rooms."

Zhao Xihua thought the man in front of her should be an officer with some military power. She didn't want to have anything to do with these people, so she smiled at the shop owner and said, "Since your room hasn't been booked yet, we won't bother you."

"Girl, girl." The boss became anxious as he saw that the business he had just obtained was about to fail.

Seeing Zhao Xihua was about to leave, the young officer blocked Zhao Xihua's way and said with a smile: "Stop, I suspect that the goods you have are from unknown sources, and I want to check your identity as well."

This young officer was called Qin Heng. He had just been stationed here with the newly stationed army and had been here for less than a month. He was the commander of the Tiger Guards, the most capable legion in the Red Flame Army. He usually liked to drink and eat beef, but he didn't bully men or women, and he didn't know what was going on today.

The hotel owner just wanted to make a big deal out of a small matter, so he tried to persuade Qin Heng kindly. However, Qin Heng glared at the owner coldly and said, "Get out of the way! You dare to stand in my way? Don't you want to open this store anymore?"

Zhao Xihua had just escaped and tried her best to avoid dealing with people in official circles. She didn't expect to meet such a difficult person in this small town.

If the army stationed here is from the Ling family, she will be in big trouble. Even if it is not from the Ling family, she hopes to have less trouble as she does not know the situation well.

So she handed a stack of banknotes to Qin Heng with both hands and said with a smile: "Young General, you have worked hard. Take this and treat everyone to a drink."

Qin Heng's eyes fell on Zhao Xihua's jade-white wrist. His face was slightly startled. He raised his hand and pulled off Zhao Xihua's veil. The bodyguard behind Zhao Xihua was unwilling to bear it and suddenly pulled out a knife and put it on Qin Heng's neck.

When the brothers Qin Heng brought saw that something was wrong, they stood up and drew their swords to surround Zhao Xihua and others.

When the inn owner saw how things had gotten out of hand, he quickly ordered his waiter to call the police. If someone was killed, he would really be unable to open his inn.

Zhao Xihua didn't expect Qin Heng to take action, and she didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so she could only blame herself for being unlucky and leave here.

Qin Heng, who was sitting opposite her, stared at the woman in front of him with his eyes wide open, looking at her in disbelief. Although she was not dressed in fancy clothes, why was she so pretty? Her eyebrows and eyes, her figure, could she be a fairy descending to earth?
