On the seventeenth day of the fourth lunar month of the fourth year of the calendar, all the members of the crossing team, including the Feilongzhai Left-behind Group, as well as Zhang Xiaofei, Han Qingwen, Zhong Ziqi and others, came to the Yuxu Palace together to prepare for the second person to perform the ancestor worship ceremony.

The venue of the ceremony is still chosen in a vacant lot on the mountain behind the Yuxu Palace, and all the items needed for the sacrifice have been purchased before coming.

Early in the morning of April 18, the crossing team and their families came to the sacrificial venue together, under the leadership of the four members of the committee, in accordance with the usual sacrificial procedures of this era, solemnly and solemnly completed the ancestor worship ceremony, and then everyone returned to the Yuxu Palace first, rested for a while, and ate a lunch of Yuxuzi before saying goodbye to Yuxuzi and returning to Liangxiang City together.

The reason why Qian Yuanshan, Zeng Zhilin and other members of the left-behind group also followed the brigade back to the city was to bring back the 50 flintlock pistols and related ammunition assembled by the science and technology group back to Feilong Village for the training of the pro-soldier squad, and the day when the pro-soldier squad mastered the flintlock pistol was the time when they officially took up their posts. On the other hand, it is also to make up for the lack of security caused by Wang Kunjun entering Youzhou City two days later to take away some of the security team members.

The next day, the crossing team began to prepare for Wang Kunjun and Han Qingwen's trip to Youzhou. First of all, the business team is responsible for purchasing a gift for Han Deyi - the son-in-law visits the father-in-law, and the gift is still indispensable. Of course, the costs associated with the purchase of gifts were paid by Wang Kunjun himself. Although in a sense, most of the funds the team now has are obtained through the auction of his bottle of wine and the set of glasses, Wang Kunjun never treats the team's assets other than the prize money allocated to him by the team as his own private property. In his opinion, the auction proceeds are the result of the efforts of all members of the team, and it is by no means exclusive to him, Wang Kunjun, alone. When it comes to money, he has always been clear about public and private, and it is precisely because of this that when he was appointed as the head of the finance team, he was unanimously supported by all team members. And this trip to Youzhou City is also considered by him to be a private matter for his own affairs, so he must not spend the team's money, and all the expenses must be paid by himself.

The committee also understands Wang Kunjun's insistence on the issue of money. However, when it comes to security, they will no longer let Wang Kunjun decide by himself. The other three committee members rejected Wang Kunjun's proposal to take only Wang Feng and two family members there. After consultation with the security team, they decided that Qian Yuanshan, Tang Chao, Yang Xin, Zeng Zhilin, and Wang Feng would be responsible for the security work, and Liang Ziyue and Qingchen would also go with them as entourage. Although Wang Kunjun repeatedly said that he didn't have to go to such great lengths, he had to accept this security guard in the face of a one-to-three voting disadvantage.

After the security personnel were decided, the other committee members except Wang Kunjun gathered these people together and announced to them the security principle of this trip to Youzhou -- Wang Kunjun's safety must be guaranteed no matter what method is adopted. According to Zhang Weixin, in order to protect Wang Kunjun's safety, the security personnel can use any means they think they should use according to the situation at the time, without worrying about the possible consequences.

Xu Shaoan also emphasized that Youzhou City is not as good as Liangxiang, where there is no one who can help the traverser except Han Deyi, and Han Deyi's attitude towards Wang Kunjun and the crossing team is unpredictable after learning the news that Wang Kunjun's original partner is not dead. Therefore, this trip completely depends on the traverser's own liliang to solve the problem, once encountering special circumstances, must not be timid, must be shot when it is time to shoot.

Subsequently, Zhang Weixin added: "I know that everyone usually respects the fifth brother very much, and usually everyone listens to what he says. However, you must understand that your mission on this trip is to protect the safety of the fifth brother, and everything you do must be based on this principle. I would like to remind you here, especially the eleventh brother (Qian Yuanshan), who is the person in charge of this security operation, although the fifth brother is a member of the committee, he is not responsible for this security operation, but your eleventh brother is in charge. Therefore, what kind of security measures you take during this entry into Youzhou City are based on the situation at the time and your own judgment, not on the personal will of the fifth brother. ”

Regarding the request of the three committee members, all the members of the security team who participated in the operation said that they were completely aware that they would definitely act accordingly and would never let the fifth brother be in any danger.

Then, Qian Yuanshan went to You Yuan to get the corresponding guns and ammunition. According to the committee's arrangement, all the traversers were equipped with modern weapons when they entered Youzhou City. Each of the five security personnel carried a Type 95 automatic rifle, five loaded magazines, two homemade bomblets, and a walkie-talkie. Wang Kunjun and Liang Ziyue each carried a Type 92 pistol with two full loads. In addition, a machine gun and five hundred rounds of ammunition were carried on one of the carriages in which they were riding, in case of the unexpected. At the same time, a radio station was also set up on this carriage for communication with the "Qingyuan". This is basically the limit of the modern weapons and equipment that the team can currently provide after the consumption of the siege and annihilation of the Jade Void Palace.

After everything was ready, on the morning of the twentieth day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar, Wang Kunjun and Han Qingwen set off with a large group of people and horses to Youzhou City.

However, such a big battle was obviously unexpected by Han Qingwen, so not long after she set off, she asked her husband with a puzzled face: "Official, let's just go to meet my parents dozens of miles away, and don't travel long distances, do you need to be so excited?" Isn't that too flamboyant? Can you bring fewer people? ”

Although Wang Kunjun agreed with his wife's statement in his heart, he couldn't follow her wishes. Otherwise, if she really wanted to let Han Qingwen know that she was of the same mind as her, she might really ask the accompanying brothers to go back. At that point, the brothers will be torn between a few points. If you go back, it would be a violation of the Committee's resolution. If she doesn't go back, she will definitely hurt Han Qingwen's self-esteem. Especially now that her position is more embarrassing, she will take this kind of face-sweeping thing more seriously.

So, Wang Kunjun waved his hand and said, "The lady's words are different. You know, let's go to meet my father-in-law and mother-in-law this time in order to solve the problem of your status in my royal family. This is done for the husband in order to reflect the importance of you and set off your status in the 'Qingyuan'. When you go back to your mother's house, my brothers will naturally go with you in a shelf to show respect for you. ”,

Han Qingwen listened, but she didn't show any elation, but shook her head and said softly: "As long as the official can be really good to Qingwen for the rest of his life, Qingwen will be satisfied." As for what status and what honor guard pomp and circumstance, it is just some nothingness, and Qingwen doesn't care about it. ”

Han Qingwen's true feelings were revealed, which deeply moved Wang Kunjun, and he took his beloved wife into his arms, hugged him tightly, and said: "I really don't know that it is the blessing of several generations of cultivation to marry a good wife like Niangzi who is broad-minded and understanding." I, Wang Kunjun, swear here, that I will love and love you in this life and this life, and I will never let you suffer the slightest grievance. If this oath is violated, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed. ”

Hearing her husband swear such a heavy oath, Han Qingwen hurriedly stretched out her little hand, covered Wang Kunjun's mouth, and said angrily: "Good and decent, what kind of poisonous oath, be careful of God's blame." ”

Wang Kunjun said indifferently: "What are you afraid of, anyway, your family officials will not break their oath, what can God do to me?" As he spoke, he hugged Han Qingwen in his arms tighter.

The distance from Liangxiang to Youzhou City was not far, and Wang Kunjun and they entered Youzhou City from the Kaiyang Gate in the south before noon. Under the guidance of Han Qingwen, the team soon came to the door of the Han Mansion. When the family at the door saw the arrival of the large team, he naturally stepped forward to ask, and after learning that it was his own lady who returned to the house to save his relatives, he hurriedly came over to greet Han Qingwen, and at the same time, the family with fast legs had already run into the house to report the news.

Wang Kunjun helped Han Qingwen get out of the car, and under the courteous leadership of Jiading, he walked into the gate of Han's mansion. Among the people who accompanied them, except for Yang Xin and Qingchen, who were still staying in the carriage with machine guns and radio stations, and went to the stable with the Han family, several other people also got off the car, got off the horse, and followed Wang Kunjun into the Han Mansion.

Everyone didn't go far after entering the Han Mansion, and a boy of twelve or thirteen years old ran over, not very tall, but he had clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, which was very attractive. Wang Kunjun and the others only felt familiar, but they couldn't remember where they had seen it. Seeing this boy approaching, he shouted to Han Qingwen with joy: "Sister, you are back." ”

At this time, Wang Kunjun and others remembered that this boy was Han Qingwen's younger brother Han Qingshu, who had a relationship with everyone at the wedding last time, so everyone felt that he was familiar.

This Han Qingshu has a very good relationship with her sister Han Qingwen, and as soon as she heard that her family came to inform her that her sister was going home to save her relatives, she happily ran to the gate to greet her. Han Qingwen also loves this younger brother very much, and she is very happy to see her younger brother at this time. While stroking his brother's head, he said angrily: "It's getting bigger and bigger, and it's always out of shape." I don't know how to greet your brother-in-law when I see you coming. ”

It's just that although she is blaming on her lips, there is no angry look on her face, and there is still love in her eyes. Wang Kunjun saw it in his eyes, and naturally understood that their sister and brother were deeply affectionate, so he said on the side: "It's okay, it's okay." It's all my own family, where did I get so many gifts. With that, he and Han Qingwen took Han Qingshu's hand and went to the back house to see Han Deyi and his wife, and Qian Yuanshan and the others followed behind quietly.

When he came to the back house, the family who had just come in to report the news was already waiting at the door, and when he saw everyone coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet the young lady and the new uncle, and reported: "Miss, the old man invites you and your uncle to sit in the flower hall for a while, and his old man will come over in a while." ”

After speaking, he pointed to Qian Yuanshan and the others behind Wang Kunjun and asked, "......Who are these masters?" ”

"These are my sworn brothers. They knew that I was accompanying my lady to Youzhou City this time, so they came with me, planning to visit the scenery of Fucheng. Wang Kunjun found a reason for the existence of Qian Yuanshan and others.

When the family member heard that it was the sworn brother of the new uncle, he hurriedly collected the doubts in his heart, stepped forward to greet them, and led everyone to sit down in the flower hall. However, what made him strange was that only four of the five righteous brothers of the new uncle entered the flower hall, and the other one walked to the door of the flower hall, and said that he had taken the car all the way, and his legs and feet were numb, and he needed to stand for a while to soothe and soothe his muscles and bones, and after speaking, he stood outside the door and stretched out his arms and kicked his legs. Although the family Ding who led the way was unfamiliar in his heart, the other party was a guest, and the other was his uncle's brother-in-law, so he didn't have much to say, so he could only let the other party go.
