Four days later, the caravan stopped at Wugong County.

Wugong County is less than a day's journey from the capital on horseback.

The capital is close at hand, but unfortunately, for the sake of safety, Lu An can't go back at will......

Qiao'er, Xiaozhu and Lang Zhong and his party of more than ten people were separated from Lu An here.

"Qiao'er, after I go back, greet the county lord on my behalf.

If there is something in the future, let someone send a letter to Jiankang, as long as Lu can do it, a definition is not to be dismissed! ”

After bidding farewell to Qiao'er and Xiaozhu, the caravan bypassed the capital and continued to the southeast, walking for another seven days to reach Ruyin County.

Ruyin County is located on the north bank of the Huai River.

This is also the southernmost county town that is still under the rule of the Great Xia Kingdom.

After crossing the Huai River, it was the newly rising Jiankang Chuyin sphere of influence.

The caravan temporarily stopped on the north bank of the Huai River, and Mu Lingfeng took a few people to contact the merchant ships crossing the river in advance.

Soon, two merchant ships reached the shore.

Lu An and his entourage got out of the carriage, and a young man in armor jumped down from the boat, and after seeing Mu Lingfeng, he greeted him enthusiastically.

"Miss Mu, it's been a long time!"

Mu Lingfeng nodded, stretched out his hand, and introduced to the visitor, "Xu Fei, this is my father-in-law, An Shao." ”

When Xu Fei heard this, after glancing at Lu An, he immediately bowed his hand respectfully, "Under Xu Fei, I've seen An Shao!" ”

If it was before, Lu An would definitely be polite to the other party.

However, after Pu Zhen's incident, Lu An had no interest in these strange people that Mu Lingfeng knew, so he just nodded lightly.

Xu Fei didn't mind, and while beckoning the people on the boat to help transport the carriage and other materials to the ship, he pulled Mu Lingfeng and chatted enthusiastically.

"Miss Mu, it's been almost two years since you left, and my brothers miss you to death."

"I really didn't expect that when I came back this time, I was already married."

"Listen to Elder Mu, you went to the Western Regions?"

"Tell me about it, how is it in the Western Regions, it must be beautiful, right?"

Mu Lingfeng secretly glanced at Lu An, and found that Lu An didn't pay attention to this side, his expression darkened again, and his interest in chatting with Xu Fei was gone, just nodding perfunctory occasionally.

Lu An's changes, Lu Yuyan also saw in his eyes.

On the deck, Lu Yuyan took the initiative to come to Lu An's side, hesitated and said, "An Shao, the concubine has already heard about you and Erma.

However, Miss Lingfeng is a good person, are you too cold to her? ”

The corners of Lu An's mouth twitched, and he looked at the two dozen sailors in front of him who were breaking the ice while shouting the trumpet, and sighed, "Being with Erma, it can be said that it was a misunderstanding."

As for Lingfeng...... Let's hope it's not a misunderstanding! ”

Lu Yuyan was stunned when she heard this, then shook her head and stopped persuading.

She could hear that Lu An seemed to have a lot of unspeakable secrets about the relationship between him and Lingfeng.

As a bystander, she really shouldn't give any more advice.

Originally, when Lu An left Beijing for the Western Regions, she thought that Lu An was very happy, and married two beautiful wives in a short time.

But who would have thought that the world is unpredictable, as soon as he returned to the Central Plains, one of them left, while the other was like a stranger!

Lu An, who seems to be beautiful on the surface, now seems to be unwilling to pay attention to anything other than business.

It's a pity that there is basically no common language between her and Mu Lingfeng, and they are not even as comfortable as when she got along with the Lord of Phantom Cloud, otherwise, maybe she could persuade Mu Lingfeng and untie the knot between the two.

There was nothing to say all the way, and after crossing the Huai River and going ashore, he said goodbye to Xu Fei's merchant ship, and the caravan continued on the road.

It's just that when you get to Huainan, you can see the different folk customs and customs on both sides of the Huai River.

The people on the south bank of the Huai River are completely different from the people on the north bank with sad faces.

Occasionally, I met people on the road, both men and women, with happy smiles on their faces, as if they were preparing for the upcoming New Year.

From this point of view, the people in the south of the Yangtze River do not seem to be as disgusted by Chu Yin's rebellion as they imagined.

Lu Yuyan and Lu An rode in the same carriage, enjoying the scenery on the road while introducing.

"The concubine has also been operating in the Jiangnan area in the past few months, and the Chuyin City Lord who sits in Jiankang City is still deeply popular with the people in the Jiangnan area.

Because of this, the imperial court initially sent troops to suppress it, but it failed repeatedly, most of the reasons were due to the disappointment of the local people in the imperial court and their trust in Chu Yin.

In comparison, those of us who do business still have a better environment in Jiangnan.

Therefore, our Sanssouci Fang is in the Jiangbei area, and only some relatively large places have branches, and there are still certain risks in other places.

By the way, An Shao, you told me before that you want to find a place similar to Meishan Villa, and the concubine thought about it, why don't you just live in Jingyue Xuan where I live now. ”

"Jingyue Xuan? The name is quite nice. Lu An smiled when he heard this.

"Jingyue Xuan is in Danyang County, less than two days away from Jiankang, the concubine likes the scenery there, so she bought a piece of land by Jingyue Lake and built a Zhuangzi, the place is not smaller than Meishan Villa, and the concubine will take you over to see it."

"Okay."

The two were chatting, and Mu Lingfeng's eyes were red and he rode to the front, "Xianggong, I will soon be in Jiankang City, and the concubine will send someone to inform my father and father-in-law first." ”

Lu An nodded and continued to chat with Lu Yuyan.

Seeing this, Lu Yuyan sighed secretly.

From Baishi Mountain to Jiankang, Lu An and others rushed for more than 20 days and finally arrived at their destination.

Jiankang City, the gateway to the south of the Yangtze River, is also the most prosperous and prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River.

When Lu An and the others rushed to the outside of Jiankang City, a shocking scene appeared.

Outside Jiankang City, on both sides of the wide-open city gate, there are nearly 1,000 soldiers!

The first three people at the front, except for a mighty person in the middle, the other two are Lu Mancang and Mu Cun, who have been separated for a long time!

This large-scale greeting scene couldn't help but make Lu An stunned, even Lu Yuyan and the others in the caravan were stunned.

Seeing Lu An from a distance, as well as Lian'er who was holding the baby in his arms behind him, the two old men Lu Mancang and Mu Cun couldn't hold back anymore and urged the horse to come over here.

"An'er—"

Coming to Lu An, Lu Mancang burst into tears.

Lu An was also in a state of excitement and jumped out of the carriage.

The two old men also hurriedly jumped off their horses and greeted Lu An together.

"This is Hai'er, right?"

Soon, the two old men set their eyes on the baby in Lian'er's arms.

Lu An wiped his somewhat moist eyes and said with a smile, "Hai'er was born on the shore of the Lanhai Sea in the Western Regions, and the child took matters into his own hands and gave him the name Hai'er. ”

"Hehe, okay, Lu Hai, Hai'er, good name!"

The two old men were overjoyed to take turns holding the baby, but they forgot about the person behind them.

"Presumably this is Young Master An, right?"

Lu Yuyan touched Lu An with her arm and whispered, "This person is the lord of Jiankang City, Chu Yin!" ”
