After Rebirth, She Becomes the Revenge Queen-Chapter 545 - 356 My Yulang_2

"Oh? Where are they going?"

"That Guard He bought quite a bit of incense and paper money. It’s said they’re going to pay respects to two old friends tonight."

Fu Zhen stopped drinking tea upon hearing this, mused for a moment, and nodded, "I understand. Today is the twelfth of August. He’s going to pay respects to that father and son. It was on this day seven years ago that the Baiyu Lane incident occurred."

Hearing this, he continued, "Then why don’t you just follow along?"

"But Mr. Yang said we’re not allowed to follow."

Fu Zhen pondered again.

Yang Yi, accustomed to traveling the world, indeed would not be used to such pomp. Moreover, he clearly stated he didn’t want to be some crown prince, already quite respectful in agreeing to let Guo Song and them guard him at the Wanbin Building.

Thinking of this, she raised her head, cupped her hands around her mouth, and shouted to Pei Zhan, "Yulang!"

Pei Zhan had just drawn a full bow, and upon hearing these two words suddenly, his hands slipped, and the arrow flew erratically, landing on the eaves across the way!

Guo Song had already started coughing.

Liang Xuan’s round eyes were darting about: "Who’s Yulang?"

Guo Song quickly put down the tray and jogged over to drag this little ancestor away.

Pei Zhan’s face was an unclear expression as he looked at Fu Zhen, who was calmly seated in the distance: "Where did you hear that name?!" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Fu Zhen shrugged: "I asked my mother. She said when you were still in swaddling clothes, you looked like a dough ball, all powder and jade, quite like a little girl, so she gave you the nickname Yulang."

Pei Zhan’s face was as stiff as a coffin lid: "Don’t listen to her nonsense! Who looks like a girl? I certainly don’t!"

"Yes, you don’t. You are a great hero who stands between heaven and earth. But Yulang, Guo Song just mentioned that Mr. Yang wants to pay respects to old friends tonight and doesn’t want Guo Song and them to follow. What are your thoughts?"

Pei Zhan didn’t know which part of her words to address first. After all, Yang Yi’s part was more important: "Where is he going for the ritual?"

"That’s what I want to know. But none of them mentioned it."

Back then, the father and son who fell in a pool of blood at White Cloud Alley, Liang Ning had also met them once, but we still don’t know where their bodies ended up.

Pei Zhan put his hands on his hips, thought for a bit, and said, "He doesn’t want Guo Song and them to follow, but we can’t truly leave him unprotected. I’ll personally go then."

Fu Zhen nodded, "Yulang, you have considered this thoroughly. However, to avoid misunderstandings, we should openly propose to go with them."

Pei Zhan was made extremely uncomfortable by her repeated "Yulang." He said weakly, "Could you not call me that?"

Fu Zhen spread her hands: "You don’t want me to call you Zhan Er, nor Yulang. What should I call you? Pick one."

Pei Zhan was quite speechless.

After rubbing the back of his head a few times and seeing her relaxed expression, he reluctantly steeled himself: "As you wish!"

After speaking, he lifted his foot and walked out the door.

Fu Zhen cheerfully followed, "Then we need to hurry, the sky is getting dark, and Yulang hasn’t bathed and changed yet!"

Before she finished her sentence, Pei Zhan had already run off.

...

After autumn, darkness falls earlier.

After finishing dinner, twilight had already shrouded the land.

Luckily, the high and clear autumn didn’t hinder travel, with the bright moon hanging high in the sky.

Yang Yi asked He Zhao to take the incense and paper money and wait for him at the side door, and he himself went to the front hall to find Mrs. Ning.

"The old friends, a father and son, who died in White Moon Alley, have no family left. It’s fitting I’m in the capital city, so I’ll go pay respects to them. Eldest sister, no need to keep the door open for me. I’ll return directly through the side door of my courtyard."

Mrs. Ning was worried about him, "Is the place far? Where are they buried?"

"It’s at Longquan Temple within the north city gate."

"Longquan Temple hosts martial monks. How will you enter?"

Yang Yi took out an ancient jade from his waist: "I have this piece of jade that my mother left me. It bears the Zhou Army emblem. I see that many government offices still use it nowadays, so I don’t think the monks there will trouble me."

Mrs. Ning nodded, "Then return quickly."

Yang Yi nodded.

After exchanging farewells, he met up with He Zhao and left.

...

Pei Zhan said he would secretly follow Yang Yi, but how could Fu Zhen not get involved in such a matter?

Anyway, Pei Zhan couldn’t argue with her, especially not with her constant calls of "Yulang."

The two were intercepted halfway by the guards following Guo Song to Wanbin Building:

"Mrs. Ning sent us to deliver a message to the General and Young Madam. Mr. Yang left about a quarter of an hour ago without an escort. Please decide quickly, General."
