Hua Qingqing and his companions traveled non-stop, sleeping in the open air, and after a long journey, they finally arrived at the territory of the Great Jin Kingdom at the end of February of the following year.

Xiaotong and Changying had been waiting in a small town near the border for a long time, eagerly waiting.

When they saw the familiar figure, the stone in their hearts finally fell to the ground.

The little girl was wearing a plain dress and had her hair tied up in a bun, looking like a young woman.

Apparently, she had married Changying before this.

Seeing Qiu Mobai and Hua Qingqing, the little boy couldn't hide his joy and hurried forward to salute and say.

"Master! Miss Qingqing! You are finally here!"

"The journey was smooth!"

Qingqing was also very happy to see the little boy.

"Sister Xiaotong! Long time no see!"

The little boy looked at Qingqing with amazement in his eyes.

"Miss Qingqing is eight years old now! I haven't seen her for several years. She is getting prettier and prettier."

She was so beautiful that she couldn't take her eyes off.

"Thank you for the compliment, Sister Xiaotong!"

When Changying saw Qingqing, he was surprised for a moment, but quickly calmed down.

He also stepped forward to greet her. His expression was brighter and more open-minded than before. It was obvious that he and the child were living a happy and fulfilling life during this period.

Qiu Mobai nodded slightly with a smile on his face.

"We're on a smooth journey."

"Thank you for all this trouble!"

"After this matter is settled, come back with us to Bianjing."

Then, Qiu Mobai looked at Changying and said seriously.

"The Emperor has issued an edict appointing Changying as the deputy commander of the Imperial Palace Guard."

That was Zhang Xiangyun's previous position. Zhang Xiangyun is now a mighty general, second rank!

General Zhang took his family to the former fiefdom of King Xiaoyao and guarded the two prefectures in the East China Sea.

When Changying heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up brightly.

Deputy Commander of the Palace Guard!

That is a position only held by the emperor's confidants.

And it’s the fourth rank!

He quickly knelt down and kowtowed to express his gratitude: "Thank you, Master, for your support!"

Qiu Mobai patted his shoulder.

"No need to be polite, get up!"

"You deserve it."

Qiu Mobai looked at the little boy again.

"Little boy, you will be Qingqing's personal maid from now on!"

When the little boy heard Qiu Mobai say this, his eyes lit up.

You have to know that my master treats Miss Qingqing with great care and love!

Even a fool knows that the master is interested in Miss Qingqing.

He was probably just waiting for Miss Qingqing to grow up, and then marry her in a formal way. Calculating the time, in seven years, Miss Qingqing would be of marriageable age.

Now she has transformed herself into Miss Qingqing's personal maid.

Then when the young lady marries into the East Palace and becomes the Crown Princess or even ascends to the throne in the future, wouldn't she also be able to rise with the tide and become the highest-ranking female official with the most respected status beside the Queen!

Thinking of this, the little boy became even happier.

Hua Qingqing rolled her eyes.

Why does she, a rich lady, need a female official by her side? She doesn't plan to enter the palace!

But she would not refute Qiu Mobai in front of others, so she could only keep silent.

After so long, she has forgiven Qiu Mobai.

And she also found out that her family could hear her thoughts.

I'm speechless...

Fortunately, I had kept a close eye on it before!

Didn't say anything weird.

However, a lot of things make sense.

She was saying, how come the whole family turned out to be cannon fodder and made a comeback!

He also made arrangements in advance and has now become a hero in front of the emperor!

It turned out that she had accidentally revealed the spoiler herself...

She later tried many ways to prevent others from hearing her inner voice, but all failed.

She found that her family could still hear what she was thinking.

It’s so helpless!

So, she tried not to think about it now.

Qiu Mobai and his group did not rush to set off, but instead stayed temporarily in this border town.

The inn they stayed in was the inn opened by the Qian family here.

Although it is not very large, it is already one of the best in the local area.

These days, they drove to the market to purchase all kinds of supplies.

Because as the journey continues deeper into the northwest region, the environment along the way will become increasingly desolate and barren, and material supplies will become extremely scarce.

The little boy smiled and said, "Before we left, Situ Yu repeatedly reminded us to buy more fine wine and various kinds of dried meat on our return trip."

"That place is so desolate! There are very few wild vegetables!"

Qiu Mobai and his friends almost cleared out all the shops in the town, and the things they bought piled up like mountains.

I'm afraid even if there are several mansions, it would be difficult to accommodate so many things.

The children were smacking their lips in their hearts.

Could it be that my master is planning to set up a huge fleet consisting of dozens of carriages?

Otherwise, how can we fit all these mountains of stuff in?

At this time, Qingqing's extraordinary qualities were once again revealed. She directly put all the things into the secret realm.

But only Qiu Mobai knew about this.

So on the last day before departure, everyone was surprised to find that there were still only two carriages waiting there.

Qiu Mobai and Hua Qingqing took one of the cars, while Jinsuo and Jin Ling were driving.

The other one carried the little boy and Changying.

The little boy and his friends were full of doubts, but they were confused.

In fact, Jinling and Jinsuo had already noticed that something was wrong, but they suppressed their curiosity and never asked.
