Nangong Wu boarded the first carriage.

"Let's go, through the west gate."

"yes!"

Li Shan and Li Ming, along with four Flying Feather Guards, rode ahead on horseback.

The others followed behind, protecting the carriage caravan as it headed towards the north gate.

The guards were the same group of men. Seeing so many of them, the captain steeled himself and stepped forward again to stop them, "Lord Lishan, who are the people in these carriages?"

"Of course they are from our Prince's Mansion. Are you blind? Can't you see the sign for the Zhenyuan Prince's Mansion hanging on the carriage?" Li Shan asked coldly.

"Get out of my way!" Li Ming had a bad temper. He lashed out with his long whip, making a crisp "crack!" sound.

The city guards were so startled that they all retreated.

The procession slowly drove out of the imperial city gate, and no one dared to stop them.

After walking about two miles out of the city, they saw Li Cheng and Li Shuang waiting halfway there.

"Li Cheng, why are you waiting here? Where are the others?" Li Shan asked.

"Wait five miles ahead," Li Cheng said.

"Then let's meet them up ahead and talk about it later," Nangong Wu's voice came from inside the carriage.

"yes!"

The convoy continued onward.

After meeting up with the Flying Feather Guards who were waiting ahead, Nangong Wu summoned the largest helicopter.

She had the women and children on the carriage get off and sit in the cabin.

"Your Highness, where shall we go first?" Li Shuang asked.

"Send the person to Runan City first," Nangong Wu ordered.

If we return to Lindongguan first, so many servants, women and children will have to stay in the space. It would be better to send them to Runan City first and return to Lindongguan tomorrow.

With the fierce wind leading the way, finding the army again won't be so difficult.

There were over a hundred people, adults and children, filling the cabin to capacity.

Nangong Wu sent the carriage and horses into the space, took off the airplane, and flew south.

After traveling more than 2,200 kilometers and flying for five and a half hours, they returned to Runan City, where the helicopter landed directly in the city.

It was already past midnight, and the sky was long dark, but there was moonlight.

After traveling for nearly ten days, they discovered that many wooden houses had been built around the government office in Runan City.

Nangong Xiao had already gone to sleep. Hearing the roar of the plane, he knew that Nangong Wu had returned. He assumed that she had brought back the Zhenyuan army, so he put on an outer robe and ran out.

When he saw Huo Jing, Fang Cheng, and many familiar faces in the palace, he was very surprised. "Father, you've all come!"

He strode to Huo Jing, knelt down, and said, "Father..."

"Why are you kneeling like that, child?" Huo Jing pulled his son up, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Not bad, my son can stand on his own now."

"My son isn't ready yet, but he can help out my sister," Nangong Xiao said.

"Don't underestimate yourself. Your sister has told me everything you've done here. Just focus on building Runan City well, and this will be our home from now on," Huo Jing said.

Nangong Wu walked over. "Father, brother, let's go inside and talk!"

"Alright, let's talk again when we get back." Nangong Xiao helped Huo Jing walk towards the government office.

The father and son entered the tent where Nangong Xiao was temporarily staying.

Nangong Wu only allowed Li Cheng and Li Shuang to stay behind, while the others went down to settle the newly arrived people.

She chose an open space and moved out all the belongings of the Flying Feather Guards' families and servants from the palace, letting them come and claim them themselves.

After arranging everything, she went into the tent. "Father, it's too simple outside. Let's go inside and talk."

"Alright, let Father be more comfortable living in your space," Nangong Xiao said.

They had only been down from the mountain for half a month, and had not yet built many wooden houses. The place was a mess, and there wasn't a single decent house.

With a thought, Nangong Wu led several people into the space.

"Li Cheng, you haven't seen your son for many days. Let Li Shuang take you to see him! You don't need to wait on us here." Nangong Wu instructed the two, "You two still have to come with me to Lindong Pass tomorrow, so get some rest."

"Yes."

Li Shuang and Li Cheng bowed and withdrew.

Eileen brought them some water, saying, "It's late, so it's best not to drink strong tea."

"Okay, thank you." Nangong Xiao took the water glass.

"Wuwu, you've had a long day, go and rest! Let me talk to Xiao'er." Huo Jing said, feeling sorry for his daughter.

"Okay." Nangong Wu had been flying for several hours and was indeed a bit tired.

"Father, brother, I'll grant you access to this space. From now on, you can enter and exit this space at your own discretion, as long as I'm around."

This was the first time she had allowed someone to freely enter her space, thinking that once she fell asleep, Nangong Xiao wouldn't be able to leave on his own.

Nangong Xiao was taken aback. "Little sister, is that even possible?"

"Sure, just a drop of your blood will do." Nangong Wu stretched out her hand, allowing them to drip a drop of blood at the designated spot in the space.

Huo Jing and Nangong Xiao were both incredulous.

"Let me take a look first." Nangong Xiao did as she said, pricking his finger with a silver needle. A drop of blood oozed out and dripped onto the spot in her space.

The next moment, her transparent ring was revealed, flashing with white light.

"Done! If you want to go out, just silently say 'I want to go out' in your mind. If you want to enter the space, just silently say 'I want to enter the space'," Nangong Wu instructed them.

This password isn't absolute; if she doesn't want anyone to come in, she can still get in by simply saying the password.

"Then I'll give it a try." Nangong Xiao silently said to himself, "I want to get out."

The next moment, Nangong Xiao appeared in the tent.

He was surprised and said again, "I want to enter the space." As soon as he finished speaking, he was back in the space.

Huo Jing also dripped a drop of blood, but he didn't try it.

After Nangong Wu left, the father and son talked for more than half an hour.

The next day, Nangong Wu got up early. After washing up, she heard that Nangong Xiao had also gotten up, so she slipped out of the space.

"Brother, I need to go pick up the Zhenyuan army early today, and I'll leave you some food and silver." After saying this, Nangong Wu first took out fifteen boxes.

"I'll leave you 100,000 taels of silver first!"

"That's too much. We still have 50,000 taels of silver from last time. Let's take half of it back, but we should keep more grain," Nangong Xiao said.

"Since it's already been taken out, let's keep it! We'll need it anyway." Nangong Wu naturally wouldn't take it back.

"Alright, I'll go with you to the granary." Nangong Xiao led her to the granary.

This time, Nangong Wu left behind half as much grain as last time, along with some vegetables and meat.

"Brother, I still want to take Father with me," Nangong Wu discussed with Nangong Xiao.

"We have another enemy, Bei Chenzhan. Ling Yangzi is desperate now. There might be many assassins coming into Runan City. Be careful and avoid crowded places."
