Shortly after the fleet left Divine Arm City, they encountered the messenger Clipper sent back by Yu Zhu. Yu Zhu told Ouyang Xuan in the letter that after the Thunderbolt army arrived in Ezhou, he immediately went to report to Lu Wende's tent. Lu Wende received the land deed of 5,000 acres, and saw that the elite swords and armor of the Thunderbolt soldiers were sharp, so he was naturally overjoyed. On the one hand, he felt that Ouyang Xuan was well-behaved, and on the other hand, he felt that the Thunderbolt Army had come from thousands of miles away, obviously admiring his prestige. Happy, he agreed to Yu Zhu's request to go to Yangzhou and Zhoushan to buy goods and sell them back to Shudi. Before Yu Zhu arrived, the Mongol army had withdrawn to the north bank under the leadership of Kublai Khan, and the Song and Mongols confronted each other across the river without fighting. Jia Rudao, who was the commander-in-chief of the Jingxiang War, asked the armies that came to help to return on their own on the grounds that the army was gathering a steep amount of money and food. Yu Zhu went to Lu Wende to ask for an official document and led the army to the coast. Although this does not conform to the practice in the military, with the official document of the Sichuan Department of Preparation, it can also be called a military transfer. Therefore, Yu Zhu led the army to overseas and traveled unhindered along the way.

The messenger brought the news that Yu Zhu had a smooth journey, sweeping away the depressed mood in Ouyang Xuan's heart after talking to Liu Zhen. At this time, Lu Dezhi, who was ill, also fully recovered, which made him feel very good. After another two days, the fleet arrived in Fucheng, Chongqing, and Ouyang Xuan ordered the fleet to dock. On the one hand, the crowd has been traveling for many days, and the whole body is already tired, and they need to go ashore to stretch their muscles. On the other hand, buy some fresh vegetables, fish and shrimp. Among the many cities in Sichuan, only a few cities, such as Chongqing, have not been conquered by the Mongols, although they are no longer prosperous in the past, and the degree of prosperity is not comparable to that of other cities. Zhu Zhuozi and other caravan personnel who accompanied him happened to take a closer look.

Although Lu Wende was far away in the land of Jingchu, Ouyang Xuan still led a team to the Yamen of the Sichuan Establishment Division, visited many officials who stayed behind, and gave them property. The so-called "officials who run water and officials who beat them with iron", although the envoys are the heads of the departments, these officials cannot be despised either. The so-called "Hades is good, but the little ghosts are difficult", although these little officials lack the ability to do things, it is easy to corrupt something secretly. In recent years, the Sichuan system has made frequent changes, followed by Yu Yu, followed by Yu Hui, and then Pu Xuezhi and Lu Wende. According to the news obtained by the Liuqiu Company in Lin'an, Lu Wende's appointment as an envoy to Sichuan was a temporary move, and once the war situation stabilized, the imperial court would be replaced.

After a three-day rest stop in Chongqing, the fleet continued downstream to Fuzhou. Before arriving in Fuzhou, Banzhou had already sent a clipper to guide him. Therefore, Ouyang Xuan decided not to stop at Fuzhou, but to go up the path to Banzhou City along Fushui. As the fleet got closer to Banshu, the river began to narrow gradually. It's just that the ships along the way saw the big banner of "Yang" on the guide clipper, and began to avoid the fleet from a distance, and the line was quite smooth. Ran Zhong was not concerned about the avoidance of these civilian ships, but it surprised everyone in the Thunderbolt army a little. Under the Thunderbolts, there are no official privileges, and civilian vessels do not shy away from official vessels as long as they are not an emergency operation such as military or disaster relief.

When the fleet was still two miles away from Banzhou City, Ouyang Xuan saw a group of people gathered at the dock from a distance. When he was about to approach the dock, Lu Dezhi, who was standing beside him, happily told Ouyang Xuan that Yang Wen was also in the crowd that greeted him, and the person in the purple robe who was surrounded by everyone in the middle was him. At this time, Ouyang Xuan had already seen Yang Yan's daughter-in-waiting, Cui'er, in the crowd, but did not find Yang Yan's figure. Hearing what Lu Dezhi said, he turned his gaze to Yang Wen. The full name of Banzhou in the imperial court is Banzhou Xuanfu Division, and the Banzhou Army is also given the name of "Imperial Majestic Army", and Yang Wen, who is the head of the Yang family, is a senior official of the imperial court who also holds important military and political positions, both in terms of real power and rank, Ouyang Xuan is a lot, not to mention that he is also his father-in-law. Now he personally came to the dock to greet him, which surprised and delighted Lu Dezhi and Ouyang Xuan.

Ran Zhong took three steps and made two steps to the dock, leading Ouyang Xuan and Lu Dezhi to Yang Wen's side. When the two approached and introduced: "Lord Ouyang, this is the head of my family, and he is also the pacification envoy of the imperial court Banzhou, and the majestic army in front of the imperial court is ....." Ouyang Xuan waited for Ran Zhong to finish reading the long list of official titles, bowed down and said: "Little son-in-law to meet my father-in-law." This made the smile on Rudezhi's face beside him directly solidify. It is said that after getting married, it is not inappropriate for Ouyang Xuan to call him this in private. It's just that on the one hand, this is an official occasion, and on the other hand, the marriage has not yet been consummated, so it is not appropriate to call it this way.

Yang Wen didn't care, and helped Ouyang Xuan up with a smile. Before the marriage contract, he had heard many legends about the Thunderbolt Army and Ouyang Xuan, and he also got a lot of information about Ouyang Xuan from his daughter. After the marriage contract, the Banzhou Army and the Thunderbolt Army interacted more, and they got more information about Ouyang Xuan from the bystanders. Now when I see me, Guoren is as everyone said, he is tall and magnificent, and he has the perseverance and determination of the superior at a young age, and he does not have a trace of the pedantry and arrogance of the Southern Song Dynasty officialdom, and his heart is very happy. Although the Yang family is also Han, they have been in the land outside the Miao Xinjiang for a long time, and the atmosphere is not restrictive, but very open.

Ouyang Xuan had just stood up before he could stand firmly, and suddenly a person in the crowd suddenly threw himself into his arms, his body soft and fragrant with fat powder. He looked at it fixedly, and it turned out to be Yang Yan, a girl, with tears on her face. Ouyang Xuan wanted to reach out to wipe her tears, but suddenly thought that this was in front of the public, so he stopped his hand, and his face turned red for a while, and he became helpless. Yang Yan's sudden troublemaking made Lu Dezhi and the accompanying Thunderbolt Army personnel stunned, but Yang Wen laughed. In other words, Banzhou also wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare, such as Ran Zhong, his face was flushed, and he was as lively as a hen that had just laid eggs.

The embarrassing atmosphere was broken by Qian Yan'er, who gently pulled Yang Yan, who was immersed in happiness, out of Ouyang Xuan's arms. Yang Yan looked at her with wide eyes, turned her head to look around, and saw that everyone around her was staring at her intently, and her face couldn't help but turn red. Ouyang Xuan also chuckled when he saw her embarrassment, and then everyone laughed too, which made Yang Yan ashamed and annoyed, and with a sneer, he took Qian Yanmei's hand and rushed out of the crowd, each of them turned over and got on their horses, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. It is said that Miao Jiang women dare to love and hate, and there are often cases of phoenixes seeking phoenixes, but it is rare to be as bold as Yang Yan.

After this episode, the relationship between the two sides has become much closer. Lu Dezhi and Yang Wenwen have a similar temperament, and at this moment, they are even more like old friends, talking and laughing freely. As soon as Yang Yan left, Ouyang Xuan's heart seemed empty, and at this time, he saw Ran Zhong's anxious face, and he looked at the sky from time to time, so he asked what was the matter. Ouyang Xuan took the initiative to come over to ask, which made Ran Zhong overjoyed. It turned out that although the Yang family also had many mansions in Banzhou City, most of these mansions were used for temporary rest. As distinguished guests, the Thunderbolt Army naturally wanted to live in Longyan New Town, also known as Hailongtun, where the Yang Mansion was located. It's safer and it's where weddings take place. It's just that Hailongtun is still about fifty miles away from Banzhou City.

Although the road leading from Banzhou City to Hailongtun is wide and flat, it is already past the afternoon, and if you don't hurry up, I'm afraid you won't be able to reach Hailongtun before dark. It's just that the master and Lu Dezhi had a good conversation, and he was afraid of disturbing the interest of the two, so he didn't dare to remind them at all. Now that Yang Yan has gone to Hailongtun, he can use the excuse that Ouyang Xuan wants to go to Hailongtun to see Yang Yan as soon as possible, and remind Yang Wen to leave early.

Ran Zhong's request, Ouyang Xuan would naturally agree. At that moment, he put forward to Yang Wen that he hoped to go to Hailongtun to meet Yang Yan as soon as possible, and Yang Wen laughed, so he naturally agreed. At that moment, everyone rode horses or carriages, and under the protection of the mighty waves, they went to Hailongtun. As for the firearms and goods on the docks, naturally someone will deal with them.
