Lu Zifeng walked closer and took a look. It was indeed the imperial army that had arrived. Lu Zifeng curled his lips.

"The imperial court is truly procrastinating. The Tatars have been invading for almost two months, and they're only now sending in a large army. How many civilians have been killed or injured during this time?"

Shaking his head and not thinking any more, Lu Zifeng waited until everyone at the foot of the mountain had passed before letting the Lu family members come out of the forest and onto the official road.

Now that the imperial army is behind them to stop the enemy, they have nothing to worry about and just need to move forward.

The mountain road is difficult to travel on. The Pulao Mountains run across the east and west, about 800 miles long and about 200 miles from north to south. It doesn't sound far, but it requires taking detours from time to time. It will probably take seven or eight days for the Lu family to get out of the Pulao Mountains.

According to the calculation of the distance, they would probably be able to get out of the mountains tomorrow. The Lu family was very happy and decided to rest early today and set off early tomorrow morning. They would reach Guangyuan County, the first county in Suzhou, by noon.

We have been walking in the mountains these days and have seen many wild animals in the mountains, so we don’t plan to hunt today. After eating, we all started to rest.

Tonight, the two brothers Lu Zifeng and Lu Ziyan are on duty. Normally, one person from each family would be enough, but ever since Lu Ziyan's eldest brother killed more than a hundred Tatars, he has been pestering his eldest brother every day to teach him martial arts and swordsmanship.

So Lu Ziyan's appetite has increased significantly in the past few days. The food has been consumed too quickly during this period, which makes Yunniang very worried. This little brat is really eating me out of money. This kid has been eating too much these days.

Lu Zifeng secretly smuggled a lot of food into the grain bags at home, which still made Yunniang feel distressed.

Lu Zifeng was using his mental power to survey the surroundings, but he frowned. He and the others hadn't provoked the wolves! But you came to our door, aren't you looking for death?

"Second brother, call everyone to get up, the wolves are coming and they are bringing us money."

Lu Ziyan was a little drowsy at this time. Suddenly he heard a pack of wolves. He sat up with a start, looked at his eldest brother's back, and hurriedly stood up and shouted.

"Everyone hurry up and get up, the wolves are coming, they are bringing us silver."

This loud roar alarmed the wolf pack. The leader wolf probably realized that his ambush plan had failed. In anger, he ordered the wolf pack to attack.

Lu Zifeng raised his eyebrows and said, "Damn it, I'm still here? You still want to take advantage of the chaos to attack?" He immediately enveloped the wolf pack with his mental power. The wolves that were about to attack immediately stopped and did not move. Some wolves even lay on the ground and did not move, as if they were sleeping.

This time the leader wolf also discovered something wrong and howled towards the sky again, but Lu Zifeng did not give it a chance. He directly pierced a mental mark into the leader wolf's head.

The huge body of the first wolf suddenly stopped moving. Lu Zifeng curled the corner of his mouth. This wolf was a silver-white wolf with a very tall body. Lu Zifeng also thought it was quite smart, and its whole body was silver-white, which looked very beautiful under the moonlight, so Lu Zifeng prepared to accept this silver wolf as his pet.

After leaving the mental imprint, Lu Zifeng directly instructed the Silver Wolf to return quickly and asked it to come back to find him after making arrangements.

After receiving the instructions, the silver wolf howled towards the sky again and disappeared in the blink of an eye with the pack of wolves.

This puzzled the Lu family members who were preparing to fight the wolves. Lu Ziyan blinked and turned to look at his eldest brother.

"Brother, what's going on? What's going on with this wolf pack?"

Lu Zifeng nodded and said, "Well, I just had a chat with the Wolf King and asked him to take the wolves back. He will be my pet from now on."

After hearing what Lu Zifeng said, Lu Ziyan curled his lips and said, "Brother, stop joking. How could the Wolf King be your pet? I know that the Wolf King is silver-white. How could he be a pet? He is very proud."

Lu Zifeng didn't reply, but old man Lu Lanchen came out and spoke.

"Well, now that the wolves have retreated, let's have a good rest! Brother Feng said that the Wolf King would come back to find him, so it must be true. Let's just wait."

Lu Mingyuan glanced at Lu Zifeng, then turned to look at Lu Lancheng.

"Dad, isn't this a bad thing for Feng'er? If the Wolf King doesn't come looking for Feng'er, wouldn't that be a huge joke? Tell me, how can this kid be so casual in doing things?"

Lu Lancheng had been talked to by his eldest brother for a lot these days. To be honest, he had sensed something unusual a few days ago, but his eldest brother changed the subject so he didn't ask any more questions. However, the day before yesterday, his eldest brother found him and told him about the conversation between him and Feng Ge'er. He was stunned at the time, but he finally chose to believe his brother and grandson. He had come to a conclusion in the past few days that his eldest grandson was not an ordinary person, and perhaps he would really carry forward the Lu family one day as his eldest brother said.

Now hearing his son say this, he glared at Lu Mingyuan angrily.

"Just shut up right there! If you don't know the truth, don't meddle in Feng'er's affairs. Feng'er is already an adult, and he has his own way of thinking. You should just be a master from now on. You're better than dad. You raised a good son, unlike dad who raised sons like the third and fourth sons."

When Lu Mingyuan saw his old father with half white hair, his heart ached. He thought of those two bastards who abandoned their family, parents, and brothers for the so-called glory and wealth. They were really hateful. But he didn't know whether they had escaped yet.

Lu Mingyuan didn't dare to say anything more about those two bastards to avoid upsetting his old father, so he said hurriedly.

"Dad, do you know something about Brother Feng? Can you tell me? You know, I'm his father, is there anything you can't tell me?"

Lu Lancheng glanced at him and said slowly under Lu Mingyuan's expectant eyes.

"I don't know either."

Lu Mingyuan was so depressed that he just wanted to roll his eyes. When did his father start to tease him?

Xu and Yunniang were packing their sleeping things. They had just packed them up because they were thinking about fighting with the wolves. Now that the wolves had dispersed, they needed to spread out their things again and prepare for sleep. They happened to hear and see the conversation between Lu Lancheng and Lu Mingyuan, father and son.

Yunniang was still a little concerned and had to save Lu Mingyuan's face, so she lowered her head and held back her laughter while working.

But Xu had no such concerns and laughed. Lu Zimo also lowered his head and tried to hold back his laughter.

The little girl Lu Zixuan was sitting in the mule cart, being taken care of by Lu Minglan and playing with Qi Yan. They were still young and didn't know what the adults were laughing at, so they just laughed along with them.

Lu Minglan covered her mouth to prevent herself from laughing out loud. Only now did she realize that her always serious old father could actually joke. She knew that her old father had rarely smiled since the incident with her third and fourth brothers.
