"General Pu, they're back."

Qingchen was about to ask in detail, but saw Erma riding towards Pu Zhen and Mu Lingfeng.

A hundred meters away, Pu Zhen stopped and was chatting with Erma, Mu Lingfeng rode a horse alone, and when he arrived in front of Lu An and Qingchen, he threw the two bloody human heads on the horse's back to the ground.

"Sister Qingchen, this is the head of Bai Yangshu and Long Sen, and the rest of them have all been resolved.

It's a pity that after the end of the battle, we found that more than 100 people in the entire Shan Huan country, regardless of men, women, old and young, had all been killed. ”

Qingchen coldly glanced at the two heads on the ground, "All the incidents are caused by these two people, bring their heads back and use them to honor the ancestors!" ”

Lu An looked at Erma and Pu Zhen, who were still chatting in the distance, and asked, "Lingfeng, does Erma have anything to ask General Pu for help?" ”

"No, how is it possible." Mu Lingfeng waved his hand, "Xianggong, the matter here is over, let's go back." ”

Glancing at Erma and Pu Zhen again, Lu An always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out, shook his head, and turned around with Qingchen and led people away.

The Yanqi Long family and the Qiuzi Bai family were destroyed, and this rebellion, which lasted for more than two years, finally came to an end.

At the same time, Elder Bayan sent dozens of people to send notes to the countries of the Western Regions, and a month later, an enthronement ceremony would be held for Qingchen in Qiuzi City.

On the other side, according to Lu An's request, Qingchen issued a notice in Qiuzi City, announcing the purchase of wild chrysanthemum grass.

In order to improve efficiency, the notice specified that only wild chrysanthemum grass roots and wild chrysanthemum grass seeds, which contain the most natural rubber, were purchased.

In just twenty days, Lu An purchased a full ten carts of wild chrysanthemum grass roots, as well as a hundred catties of grass seeds.

These things cost almost half of the value of the goods that Lu An brought from the Central Plains!

However, for Lu An, the price is well worth it.

As long as you return to the Central Plains and refine the natural rubber, its value will only increase exponentially.

In addition, Lu An asked Lian'er to take a hundred people in advance, together with Mifflin and Bachier, to collect twenty wagons of rock salt first, and escort them all the way back to the Central Plains.

As early as the time when he was trapped in the Prison Lan Sea, when he was refining distilled water, he had already seen the value of the rock salt in the Prison Lan Sea.

There is a huge amount of rock salt in the Prison Lanhai, but no one dares to eat it.

It is precisely because there are so many impurities in the rock salt there that once someone eats it, there will always be some strange reactions, either fatigue, nausea, muscle tingling, or dizziness, headache, difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, which are all caused by potassium or nitrate poisoning.

As long as those impurities are removed, you can completely refine the snow-white and crystalline table salt.

When the time comes, let Mifflin and Bachiel bring them back to the Western Regions to sell, that's a huge profit!

As long as there are these two kinds of business, it is enough for Qingchen to run the business of the Guizi Kingdom, and he can also use these two businesses to show his strength in the Central Plains and become rich.

Lu An found Pu Zhen again, "General Pu, how about discussing something with you?" ”

With Mu Lingfeng by his side, Pu Zhen's attitude towards Lu An was not bad, "An has little to do, although he said it bluntly. ”

"Hehe, that's the case, I want you to bring people as an escort to and from the Western Regions and the Central Plains in the future, what do you think?"

When Pu Zhen heard this, he looked at Mu Lingfeng next to him indifferently, and directly refused, "It's not good!" ”

"Eh, don't go, even if this doesn't work, we can discuss other things."

Seeing Pu Zhen pull out his legs and leave, Lu An just wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Mu Lingfeng.

"Xianggong, I thought it had taken nearly four months to rescue Sister Qingchen.

No wonder Pu Zhen was unhappy, he and his Black Armor Army were both men who were accustomed to war, how could they be a merchant as an escort?

Don't forget, there are still many soldiers of the Black Armor Army waiting for him to go back in Suizhou.

And-"

Mu Lingfeng hesitated, and then he said without hesitation, "Xianggong, Sister Qingchen is about to stay in Qiuzi and become the queen, you don't want to stay here too, right?" ”

"Well, this, of course not." Lu An smiled awkwardly, "It's just that you have also seen that although Qingchen has returned to Qiuzi, he is about to ascend the throne."

However, it was because of the help of you and General Pu that it went so smoothly.

What if we leave, and there are petty people who plot to do wrong? ”

Mu Lingfeng frowned slightly, and immediately asked rhetorically, "What does Xianggong mean—"

"Lingfeng, I see that you and General Pu have great respect for Qingchen's ancestors, don't they?"

"Of course." Speaking of Wei Yao, Mu Lingfeng said solemnly, "General Wei was our famous general in the Central Plains a hundred years ago, and if something happens to his descendants, whether it is me or Pu Zhen, they will not sit idly by."

It's just that now Sister Qingchen has gained a firm foothold in Qiuzi, so we can't stay here forever, right? ”

"Not really." Lu An waved his hand, "Moreover, in my opinion, it is unlikely that General Pu will take people to stay in Qiuzi."

In this way, let's leave the remaining hundred people here first, and then you go and persuade General Pu to let him also leave ten or eight people in Qiuzi temporarily, and let them help Qingchen train an elite army that is enough to protect himself.

Even if it's just for a year.

A year later, when Mifflin and Bachier's caravan left for the Central Plains, let them follow them back to the Central Plains, right? ”

"This ......" Mu Lingfeng hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded, "It's no problem for those of us to stay here first, Pu Zhen's side, I'll go and discuss it with him."

However, if he agrees, we must return to the Central Plains as soon as possible! ”

"Of course." Lu An patted his chest with a smile when he heard this, "After the enthronement ceremony of Qingchen, let's go back to the Central Plains!" ”

In the end, Pu Zhen only agreed to leave two people to help Qiuzi train the team.

Although the number of people is not large, it is enough for Lu An.

As long as Qingchen also trains a strong team, the caravan from Qiuzi to the Central Plains in the future will no longer have to worry about security and protection.

Soon, the January period had arrived, and among the 36 countries in the Western Regions, in addition to the more than 20 small countries that had been destroyed by Puzhen, the rest of the countries such as Jimo, Jingjue, Ronglu, Humi, Qule, Khotan, Xiye, Zihe, Puli, Xiuxun, Shache, Shule, Gumo and other countries all sent envoys to participate in the enthronement ceremony of Qingchen.

The rebellion of the countries around Qiuzi was known to the countries of the Western Regions as early as two years ago.

It's just that the prestige of the Qiuziwei family, coupled with the powerful Gaochang and Turkic forces of Yanqi and Loulan, other countries have always adopted a wait-and-see attitude.

Unexpectedly, two years later, Qingchen returned strongly, and in just over a month, all the twenty-four countries that had rebelled were swept away!

Khotan, Shule and other countries sent envoys to Qiuzi for the purpose of exploration.

When they arrived near the gate of Qiuzi City, the first thing the envoys of various countries saw was the thousand majestic and murderous black-armored soldiers brought by Pu Zhen, and they instantly put away their other thoughts.

Not only that, at the enthronement ceremony, Qingchen announced in public that the countries of Moshan, Loulan, and Weisu that had been destroyed were all changed from the country to the city, and belonged to the territory of Qiuci, and would be forever allied with the Central Plains.

As soon as this news was released, it once again caused a monstrous wave in the Western Regions.

Everyone realized that the once powerful Qiuzi Kingdom would once again stand in the Western Regions!

At the end of the enthronement ceremony, the envoys of various countries returned to their respective countries with heavy thoughts.

Under the repeated urging of Mu Lingfeng and Pu Zhen, it was time for Lu An to leave.

Qingchen personally took Elder Bayan and the others until they were sent to the area of Yushu City forty miles away before stopping.

The two walked alone for a while.

"Brother An, will you come back?"

"Definitely!" Lu An nodded heavily, "After I leave, leave those more than 100 people, in addition to serving as caravan guards, the most important thing is to help you train an elite army as soon as possible!"

Recruit as many troops as you can, and make good use of this year's time to train the most powerful armed force in the Western Regions.

At that time, even if the Turks invaded, they would no longer be powerless to fight back.

As for the cost of military training, you don't have to worry.

In addition to the profits from natural rubber and rock salt, I will have Mifflin and Bachiel bring more goods from the Central Plains for you to trade, enough for you to train a large team.

When I settle down the business in the Central Plains, I will definitely come to Qiuzi to see you again!

When the time comes, maybe I won't leave. ”

"Well, I'll wait for you!"

Qingchen leaned on Lu An's arms, and tears soaked Lu An's placket.
