This time, although Wangshu was not as excited as before, the shimmering light in the child's eyes still proved Wangshu's excitement and excitement at this time.

He swallowed his saliva, looked at Lu Li solemnly, and said, "Father, you say." ”

"Old Man Xia said, this time you go out with him, you can bring two subordinates to serve, right?" Lu Li paused, and after the other party nodded, he leaned over and squatted down, and lowered his voice: "But this time my father is really not at ease, so I have to assign a few more people to follow you to protect you, but you can't tell Grandpa Xia about this matter, you know?" ”

"Is this what my father is going to say?" Wang Shu suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked.

Lu Li nodded, "That's right, you can't tell Old Man Xia about this, and you have to return safely, this is what I ask of you, can you do it?" ”

"Yes!" Wangshu couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart anymore, and happily jumped three feet high.

Seeing this, Xiaoman gently touched the child's head and said, "Let's eat first, as for other things, we'll talk about it later." ”

Because of the interruption of this matter, Xiaoman forgot the previous agreement with Lu Li, and the family had dinner and went to the study very solemnly.

There is a map of Donglan in the study, Lu Li opened it first after entering the study, and then Xiaoman and Wangshu sat on the chair alone, and the other stood slightly bent over, and three pairs of eyes converged on this map, looking for the location of these two towns.

Wangshu said that these two towns belong to Qishan, but the three of them have seen all the towns in Qishan, but they have not been able to find these two towns.

Lu Li, who was unwilling, went to Wei Mansion again, found a map of Qishan from their mansion and brought it back, and continued to find the specific location of these two towns.

But half an hour passed, and the three of them still found nothing.

Wangshu couldn't help but be a little disappointed, but he didn't forget to explain: "Grandpa Xia said that these two towns are very small, that is, more than a dozen households, and they can't be found on this map, so it's probably normal." ”

A small town that can't even be found on the map, Xiaoman gradually became a little worried, and she began to regret that she had agreed to the other party so happily just now.

Seeing the slightly depressed appearance of the mother and son, Lu Li coughed lightly, and after attracting the attention of the two, he said: "This town is so small, but Old Man Xia insists on going, it is indeed interesting to think that this town is indeed interesting, but Wangshu, I want to ask you a question." ”

"Father, you say."

"This town is so small, and the conditions are naturally very bad, you are used to living a life of fine clothes and fine food, and suddenly you want to go to such a place, and you have to live for a while, can you stand it? Aren't you afraid of hardship? Lu Li looked into the other party's eyes and asked.

Wangshu blinked when he heard this, but he didn't answer immediately, thinking that he was thinking.

Taking advantage of the fact that the other party didn't speak, Lu Li said again: "Although you often traveled with me and my mother before, but at that time, you had your parents to take care of you, and the environment where you settled was not too bad, and you would leave every time you didn't stay for five days." But this time it's different, you know? ”

He didn't use this to scare the other party, so that Wang Shu would interrupt the idea of traveling with Old Man Xia, Lu Li said all this to make Wang Shu recognize everything he was going to face in the future, so that he would not regret it, and not let Old Man Xia down.

Xiao Man looked at Lu Li nervously, and then at Wangshu after a while, and his hands were clasped tightly. I was afraid that Wangshu would agree, but at the same time, I was afraid that Wangshu would suddenly regret it and live up to Old Man Xia's expectations, in short, she was very awkward and entangled in her heart now.

Under the gaze of Lu Li and Xiaoman, Wangshu was silent for an unknown amount of time before he nodded and said firmly: "I want to go, I must go with Grandpa Xia." I believe that no matter what kind of difficulties there are, Grandpa Xia and I will definitely overcome them. ”

"Good!" Lu Li was very pleased, he hugged Wangshu, "Good son, father is proud of you." ”

Xiao Man, who had been nervous for a long time, breathed a sigh of relief, tears suddenly fell uncontrollably, she kept taking deep breaths, and her eyes did not leave Wangshu for a moment.

It is worthy of her and Lu Li's son, with such courage and courage, and such a firm determination, she believes that Wangshu will definitely be able to come back safely! I will definitely be able to become a pillar of talent in the future!

Seeing that the time was not early, and knowing that Old Man Xia was going to leave for Shuangcheng Town in five days, Lu Li hurriedly sent Wangshu back to rest.

In Wangshu's room, Lu Li stayed for a long time, kept telling each other all kinds of precautions, and also told many stories about his youth, until Wangshu's sleepiness hit, he got up and left, and by the way, he helped the child tuck the quilt.

Back in the bedroom, Xiao Man hadn't slept yet, he was sitting in front of the bronze mirror in a daze, and after a closer look, the woman's eyes were still red.

"What, reluctantly?" Lu Li pulled a chair, sat next to the woman, looked at the other party's shadow in the bronze mirror, and asked softly.

Xiao Man sighed when he heard this, his eyes also drooped, and he said helplessly: "What can I do if I am reluctant?" Children always have to grow up and will always leave us. Besides, I am very happy that Wangshu can have such determination and courage. ”

However, she said that she was happy, but she still felt tears rolling down her eyes.

"Xiaoman." Lu Li took Xiao Man's hand, his voice became softer and softer, and he said, "Don't be sad, the child will come back safely, and I will always be by your side." ”

"Old Man Xia dares to take Wangshu to Shuangcheng Town, which means that this Shuangcheng Town is not dangerous, besides, they are just going to investigate the customs and customs, and it won't take long to come back. And on Wangshu's side, I will send a few of the best martial arts guards in the mansion to follow, and he will definitely not be in any danger. ”

After listening, Xiao Man sighed again, then leaned on the man's shoulder, closed his eyes, and did not speak.

Lu Li stretched out his hand to take the person into his arms, and comforted him softly, but he didn't speak.

The room was completely silent, and the occasional wind could be heard outside the window, which occasionally swayed a few times by the wind and creaked, which was particularly harsh in the silence of the night.

The weather is getting colder and colder, but Wangshu wants to follow Old Man Xia to such a far place, Xiao Man is very nervous and uneasy in his heart, even though Lu Li said that he will send the best secret guard to follow, but where can she completely relax her heart?

Wangshu is still a child after all, and Old Man Xia is also old, so he must not be able to take care of Wangshu all the time, as soon as he thinks of this, Xiaoman can't wait to follow him.

Just when Xiao Man was secretly worried, Lu Li suddenly remembered something, he pushed Xiao Man away, and then got up, "That's right!" Didn't you always want to ask me what King Canglan and I said in the afternoon? Still want to know? ”

Xiao Man was stunned by the other party's actions, and after a while, she reacted, she wiped the tears from her cheeks and nodded again and again, "You say." ”

"King Canglan revealed to me that they just want to find a few women who are proficient in planting and embroidery in Donglan, and then go to Canglan to help teach these skills, not because they have to be close." Lu Li pursed his lips slightly and said.

Canglan is located in the cold north, cold all year round, they have been hunting and eating cold-resistant wild vegetables, wild fruits and so on for a living, but this Canglan king thinks that his country can no longer be complacent, so in the name of harmony, he wants to come to Donglan to ask for some skills.

Although harmony is the fastest and most effective way, but now His Majesty is reluctant to marry the princess far away, and King Canglan also saw the emperor's difficulty, so he revealed the matter to Lu Li, so that he could pass the news to the emperor.

Xiao Man nodded as if she didn't understand, but she still didn't understand, she frowned, "This is indeed good news, but what does this have to do with me?" ”

"Haven't you always wanted to go to the North? In addition, you and Holley will cooperate for a long time, and you will definitely go to Canglan as a guest in the future, so I recommended you to the emperor. Lu Li squatted down, with a smile in his eyes, and explained to the other party little by little.

But after hearing this, Xiao Man only felt more confused, "Do you mean, I want to live in Canglan Country forever in the future?" ”

Lu Li laughed and laughed, he sat down opposite Xiaoman again, and explained seriously: "It means that when you go to Canglan Country to see business in the future, you can teach local women to learn planting, embroidery and other skills by the way, you don't have to live in Canglan often, we can still travel everywhere in the future, but it is just one more foothold in Canglan Country, you know?" ”

After the other party finished speaking, Xiao Man thought for a long time and finally understood what the other party meant.

She looked at Lu Li, retelling her understanding to the other party little by little, and after finishing speaking, Lu Li nodded, "That's right, that's what it means." ”

Speaking of which, he and Xiaoman solved such a big trouble for the emperor, and they should be rewarded, plus they should also get the gift of the king of Canglan to teach skills, even if they don't care about these things outside the body at all, but they can have one more foothold in Canglan, which also saves them a lot of trouble from traveling all over the world.

"I have already informed the emperor of this matter, and the emperor promised that I would recommend you to the king of Canglan, and I think the king of Canglan should have refused." Lu Li said with confidence.

Xiao Man really changed her previous sad color, she looked at Lu Li in surprise, held a pair of big palms of the other party and kneaded them, and said excitedly: "Lu Li, when did you have a good relationship with King Canglan?" How could he tell you all these things? ”

"Speaking of which, I didn't know that King Canglan was such a bold person before, and I almost blamed him." Speaking of this, Lu Li also felt very amazing, "If it weren't for the fact that he came to apologize with his envoys today, I wouldn't have known that this King Canglan is such an interesting person." ”

"Let the envoy apologize?" As soon as she said this, Xiao Man's face changed suddenly, and she frowned, "Could it be that it is because you accepted the apology of the envoy that the king told you so many things?" ”
