Chapter 703: Welcome to Northern Hubei

Li Laosan seemed to see through his doubts and said cheerfully, "Don't worry, Master Li. We have acquaintances in northern Hubei. Even if Hubei doesn't accept us, we have nothing to complain about. We only ask that you be kind enough to take us there."

In fact, he had made two preparations. If the Li family did not take them, they would make a raft and go over by themselves.

"In that case, let's go together." Li Junxin nodded.

They have just arrived, so if we can help them, they may become a great help in the future.

A quarter of an hour later, Li Hezhou arrived with his men.

"Dad, Mom, your son has finally arrived!" Li Hezhou greeted the two of them with a smile, and nodded to his sisters.

He came here under the scorching sun, his forehead covered in sweat, but when he saw his family members were there, the smile on his face was really bright.

Li Junxin was a bit reserved in front of Li Hezhou and said lightly, "We'll talk about it when we get there. Let's cross the river first."

Li Hezhou did not expose his father. If his father could really remain calm and listen to him, he would have come to northern Hubei. But they came so quickly, which Li Hezhou did not expect.

The group loaded the boat and crossed the river. Li Laosan and the others were unfamiliar faces. Li Hezhou couldn't help but ask Chen, "Are they new to the family?"

Chen said, "No, they were the escorts who brought us here. But for some reason, they actually wanted to settle in northern Hubei and asked your father to take them across the river."

Li Hezhou frowned when he heard this. There were only five of them settling in northern Hubei. Didn't they have any family?

He felt something was wrong no matter how he thought about it. After thinking for a moment, he walked over to Li Laosan and said with a smile, "May I know your name, brother?"

"No need to mention me, my surname is Li and I am the third child in the family." Li Laosan said politely.

Li Hezhou patted Li Laosan's shoulder exaggeratedly, "That's such a coincidence, it turns out we're from the same family."

He pulled Li San to talk nonsense together, and then asked curiously, "Why did Brother Li San think of settling down in northern Hubei?"

"It's not peaceful everywhere. Last year, we escorted a group of prisoners to northern Hubei. At that time, we felt that General Liang was here, so we were quite safe. Besides, we were all alone, and considering the current situation, at least we knew people in northern Hubei."

Li Laosan did not hide it from him and talked while helping to move things.

Li Hezhou was a little bit incredulous when he heard this. Weren't the prisoners escorted last year the same group from the Shen family? It turned out that this was an acquaintance!

"Excuse me, Third Brother Li, the people you are talking about are not Shen Xiao and Young Master Shen and the others, right?" Li Hezhou opened his mouth to confirm.

He just felt something was wrong and thought that some spy wanted to sneak into northern Hubei. It turned out that Li Laosan was a bailiff in the past and had escorted Shen Qingman and others.

Li Laosan was also stunned when he heard Shen Xiao's name. He turned his head and looked at Li Hezhou and asked, "Mr. Li, do you know Mr. Shen?"

"More than just knowing each other, Brother Shen and I have a very good relationship!" Li Hezhou nodded repeatedly.

Hehe, maybe he will be Shen Xiao's brother-in-law in the future, how can their relationship be bad?

Li Laosan was also excited now, and asked repeatedly: "Are they doing well? They haven't been assigned any heavy work, right? What about Cheng San and Chen Er?"

When Li Hezhou heard him name a long list of people from Huanxiyuan, his doubts disappeared immediately, "They are all fine."

He told everyone in Huanxiyuan what he knew about their recent situation, especially the Shen family, and then said, "Given your relationship, Ebei will definitely welcome you!"
