Chapter 59 Reunion

After finding a place to stay, Guo Ye took Xu Lian and Tao Tao to the Black Armor Guard Post Station in Fengliu Lane.

When Xu Ning sent a letter home, he mentioned his work location, so they knew where to look for him.

"Will it interfere with Xu Ning's work if we go find him now?"

As she walked, Xu Lian suddenly thought of this and became slightly worried.

"Don't worry, Sister Lian."

Guo Ye said, "Once we find the place, let's ask around. If it's convenient, we'll go see him. If not, there's no rush. We'll just find a place to wait for Xu Ning. It's already afternoon, and there's not much time left before our shift ends."

Hearing Guo Ye say this, Xu Lian felt relieved.

Guo Ye used to go to the city often and knew roughly where Fengliu Lane was.

However, after arriving at Maple Willow Lane, Guo Ye had no idea where the Black Armor Guard Post Station was.

"Why haven't we arrived yet?"

Tao Tao, holding Xu Lian's hand, was clearly tired after walking such a long way.

Guo Ye had previously wanted to find a coachman in the city, but Xu Lian refused.

Having always been frugal, Xu Lian felt that it was just a matter of walking and there was no need to spend money on it.

"Don't worry, Peach, we're almost there."

Guo Ye patted Tao Tao's head: "I'll go ask someone for directions."

Just then, a group of city guards approached from a distance.

This group of city guards numbered less than ten men. The leader was a thin man with a cold expression. He walked with a powerful stride, giving off an impression that kept strangers at bay.

"I'll go ask the city guard."

Upon seeing this, Guo Ye was about to ask.

"Go ask someone else."

Xu Lian quickly grabbed Guo Ye's sleeve: "Those people seem difficult to talk to..."

Seeing this, Guo Ye shook his head: "Sister Lian, don't worry. I've inquired before. These city guards are assistants to the Black Armor Guards. In the same post station, Xu Ning's status is much higher than theirs. I can go and inquire directly and find out about Xu Ning."

"Okay then."

After hearing Guo Ye's explanation, Xu Lian agreed.

Xu Lian held Tao Tao's hand and stood by the roadside, and Guo Ye walked over.

In the past, Guo Ye would keep his distance from both the Black Armor Guards and the City Guards whenever he saw them in the county town.

But now the situation is different. Xu Ning is a Black Armor Guard in Maple Willow Lane, and I am Xu Ning's brother. Facing these city guards, I feel more confident.

Guo Ye himself didn't realize that he had become slightly arrogant.

"My lord."

Guo Ye approached the leading city guard.

"Um?"

The city guard had a stern face and looked very imposing.

Seeing Guo Ye approaching, he glanced at him sideways and his expression hardened.

Upon seeing this, Guo Ye's heart skipped a beat.

My previously calm demeanor suddenly turned sour.

A smile unconsciously spread across Guo Ye's face, and he bowed slightly.

"Sir, I'd like to inquire about someone for you..."

Guo Ye spoke quickly, afraid of wasting their time: "Excuse me, how do I get to Weiyi in Fengliu Lane? We'd like to find someone..."

Looking for someone?

Cold-faced City Guard raised an eyebrow: "Who are you looking for?"

"Xu Ning."

Guo Ye answered truthfully.

"Xu Ning?"

The cold-faced city guard was taken aback, his face, which had been as frosty as ice, suddenly froze.

In the garrison post station of Fengliu Lane, the only person named Xu Ning is the Captain.

The city guard leader leaned forward and asked in a low voice, "What do you need Lord Xu for?"

Lord Xu?

Guo Ye noticed that the city guard's expression and attitude changed immediately upon hearing Xu Ning's name.

Suddenly, Guo Ye felt confident, and his back straightened unconsciously: "I've come to visit relatives."

Visiting relatives?

The city guard then realized that this was actually a relative of Lord Xu.

"I am Xu Ning's brother, my name is Guo Ye." As he spoke, Guo Ye pointed to Xu Lian and Tao Tao, a mother and daughter, by the roadside, "Those are Xu Ning's older sister and niece."

Upon hearing this, the city guard's expression changed again, this time with a broad smile on his face.

"So you're a relative of Lord Xu! My apologies for not recognizing you!"

The city guard quickly replied, "My name is Feng Sigua, and I am Lord Xu's deputy."

At this moment, Feng Sigua quickly cupped his hands in a gesture of respect towards Xu Lian.

He was just out on a routine patrol when he unexpectedly ran into Captain Xu's family.

Feng Sigua was promoted by Xu Ning, so in his heart, Xu Ning's family members were naturally equally respected.

"Are you Xu Ning's deputy?"

Guo Ye hadn't expected it to be such a coincidence.

"If Xu Ning's deputy is this impressive, then he must be incredibly arrogant himself..."

Guo Ye muttered to himself.

"Gentlemen, come with me, I will personally escort you to the post station."

Feng Sigua walked quickly toward Xu Lian and said hurriedly.

"Sir, you can just tell us how to get there, no need to trouble yourself..."

Xu Lian held Tao Tao's hand, clearly showing respect for Feng Sigua's status as a city guard.

Upon hearing this, Feng Sigua quickly waved his hand and said, "Just call me Lao Feng. That's what Lord Xu usually calls me."

"You all continue your patrol; I have important business to attend to."

Feng Sigua turned his head, his expression turning serious again, and gave instructions to the city guards.

After the patrolling city guards left, Feng Sigua's expression changed from serious to friendly.

Tao Tao, who was standing next to him, scratched her head.

This person is really strange.

Please come with me.

Feng Sigua gestured for him to proceed.

Guo Ye and Xu Lian couldn't refuse Feng Sigua's enthusiasm.

"Old Feng, if we go see Xu Ning now, will it interfere with his work?"

Guo Ye, on the other hand, was quite uninhibited.

"No, the post station isn't busy lately, and the captain is quite free, spending his days locked in his room practicing martial arts."

Feng Sigua said.

"Oh..." Guo Ye nodded, then seemed to realize something, "Captain? What captain?"

"The captain is Captain Xu, Lord Xu..."

This time, Feng Sigua was taken aback. He instantly realized that Lord Xu's family seemed unaware of his promotion to captain.

"Lord Xu was just promoted to the rank of Colonel a few days ago."

Feng Sigua said.

Guo Ye's eyes widened: "This kid Xu Ning, is he really that capable?"

Xu Lian, who was standing to the side, also couldn't believe it.

Guo Ye had previously explained to her that the captain was the highest-ranking official in a garrison post.

Xu Ning has only been a Black Armor Guard for a little over three months, and he's already been promoted to captain?

Upon seeing Guo Ye and her mother, who were both startled, Tao Tao scratched her head again.

What are you still rambling on about? I'm really tired.

Finally, led by Feng Sigua, the group arrived at the post station.

"I will take you directly to Lord Xu's study."

Feng Sigua took a slight lead and hurried toward Xu Ning's study.

……

At this moment, Xu Ning was in his study, flipping through a thick book.

This is a record of the development of Kangyun County within the Black Armor Guard.

Previously, Xu Ning had some understanding of the Black Armor Guards and the past of Kangyun County, but it was rather fragmented. With this book, he can now have a more systematic understanding of Kangyun County.

After reading for a while, Xu Ning got up and stretched.

Looking out the window at the small courtyard where the trees were beginning to sprout, Xu Ning realized that spring was just around the corner.

"I'll go home and visit in a couple of days."

Xu Ning thought to herself.

According to the rules of the third camp, after passing the assessment test, the newcomers can go home for a few days.

Xu Ning, Tao Qingping, and the others discussed it and decided to go back to Tao Family Village together in two days to spend a few days with their relatives.

Just then, Xu Ning heard footsteps.

Feng Sigua entered first, followed closely by a small figure.

She took small, quick steps, looking very eager.

Xu Ning rubbed her eyes.

It's Tao Tao!

Then, Guo Ye and Xu Lian appeared in the courtyard.

Xu Ning hurriedly walked to the door and opened it.

"Uncle!"

When Tao Tao saw Xu Ning standing at the door, she immediately ran over and snuggled into his arms.

Xu Ning couldn't hide his smile. He patted Tao Tao's head, then lifted her up and hugged her tightly under his arm.

Tao Tao struggled for a few moments, then stopped moving and began to use her small hands to fasten Xu Ning's black nail-patterned belt.

Xu Ning ignored her and asked Xu Lian and Guo Ye, "Sister, Guo Ye, what brings you here?"

"My uncle escorted the cart into the city, and he brought Sister Lian and Taozi with him."

Guo Ye, fearing that Xu Ning would worry, explained directly, "There are fewer bandits now, and my uncle has even hired a Qi Sensing Realm expert, so the road is very safe."

"That would be a real hassle for you and Uncle Gang."

Xu Ning expressed his gratitude.

When Xu Lian saw her younger brother, her face was full of smiles, and she looked overjoyed.

"By the way, where's my brother-in-law?"

Xu Ning suddenly realized that her brother-in-law, Tao Yunchuan, had not come with her.

Thank you to Brother Xiande Otengzhong, Brother Chenmo de Yuye, and Brother Lengmo Talkative for the generous donations!
