She nodded with a smile.

Duan Yunchi looked at her with surprise, "Brother Falcon is Mingzhan's treasure. It must be urgent for him to send a letter, or there must be a big secret between you two that I don't know about."

Gu Xinran didn't want to answer this question. "It's a secret, don't ask. Has the person been delivered?"

Duan Yunchi looked thoughtful, "It was delivered a long time ago, good Ranran, please reveal the secret."

"Haha, is it still a secret that can be revealed? Go ask Brother Xiao yourself."

Duan Yunchi shook his head unhappily. "Well, let's not talk about it. I almost forgot about the important matter. Let's go and have dinner. You're the only one missing."

Gu Xinran followed him to the main courtyard restaurant, where the Gu family and Li Daru were already there.

In the magnificent restaurant, there are two exquisitely carved mahogany eight-immortal tables, which are filled with delicious dishes and fine wines.

There was one table for men and one table for women. The food they had while fleeing famine was relatively good, but it was only enough to fill their stomachs and meet their nutritional needs.

It has been a long time since we had such a big meal, and everyone was eating so much that they could hardly lift their heads.

These dishes have a familiar taste and feel like they were made by the chef of Xiangyuanlou.

Li Daru was there, the rules were followed, and everyone had a quiet meal.

After the banquet, Grandpa Gu, Gu Yuchen, Gu Xinran and Li Daru followed Duan Yunchi to the main hall, while Lai Fu took the others to visit the garden.

The servant served fragrant tea and several plates of golden oranges, then left the main hall.

Duan Yunchi greeted everyone enthusiastically, "Come and try these fruits, they are Jinzhou specialties, sour and sweet and delicious."

Gu Xinran picked one up. Although it looked plain, the flesh was refreshing and juicy, similar to the Babagan oranges before the apocalypse. It was very delicious.

After eating, Gu Xinran secretly put the seeds into her space, so that she could have one more kind of fruit in the future.

While eating and chatting, Li Daru couldn't wait to ask about the current situation.

"Yun Chi, what's the situation in Jinzhou now?"

This is also the question that everyone wants to know, and everyone is listening attentively.

His face suddenly became serious, and he sat up straight. "It's not optimistic. Wang Kui, the governor of Jinzhou, controls the city and the three surrounding counties, and he's staying indoors."

Gu Xinran's expression was solemn. "Brother Xiao just wrote to say that the Third Prince has fled to Jinzhou."

Li Daru's face darkened. "Is this a rebellion? How will the court deal with it?"

Duan Yunchi looked around, seeing that they were all trustworthy people, and said, "The Emperor has issued an order to have the Prince of Qi lead the Imperial Guards south, and my uncle go north, to attack from both sides and capture the rebels.

Li Daru breathed a sigh of relief. "Your Majesty is wise! But our route south is blocked again. What suggestions do you have? It seems we have to continue to take a detour."

Duan Yunchi asked his followers to bring him the map of Lan Kingdom. This was not something that ordinary people could have. Only border generals and court officials had the opportunity to own and see it.

Wu'an County where they are located borders Huzhou, separated by Yunqi Mountain.

If you want to go ahead, you can go east over Yunqi Mountain into Huzhou and then go south. The disadvantage is that you have to take a detour of at least 800 miles.

The fastest way is to enter the Yunqi Mountains and head south. If all goes well, you can travel through the mountains for more than a month and reach Yunzhou directly.

The disadvantages are that the mountains are steep, the forests are deep, there are many wild animals, and you may even encounter the legendary misty forest.

Gu Xinran chose to take the shortcut without hesitation. The mountains and forests were rich in supplies, there was plenty of meat to eat, and the city gates were not closed.

If you go through great pains to get into Huzhou and then find that the road is not allowed, you will have to take a detour.

Now that everyone has the experience of crossing Yunhua Mountain, they are not so afraid of the deep mountains anymore, not to mention that they have kung fu masters to protect them.

Li Daru pondered for a long time and finally decided, "My old bones can't get through, and most of the teachers in the academy are weak.

I have many good friends in Huzhou who have been inviting me to run a school. I’m going to go there first to take a look.”

Then he said to the Gu family with regret, "Thank you for your care on the way. Xuanxuan is a good seedling. No matter where I run a school in the future, he is welcome to come and study at any time and become my disciple."

Grandpa Gu quickly expressed his gratitude.

Thinking of the friendship we have built over the past half month, we are all reluctant to leave, but everyone has their own aspirations.

Duan Yunchi really wanted to recruit a great scholar to run a school in Yunzhou, but he couldn't force anyone to do so.

He humbly and politely offered his blessing, "Mr. Li, Yunzhou welcomes you to come and run a school at any time, and I wish you a safe journey!"

Li Daru nodded and thanked him. It was getting late, so after discussing important matters, everyone went their separate ways.

Duan Yunchi asked Gu Xinran to stay and talk.

He smiled slightly flatteringly and said, "Do you still have that tiger bone wine? Can you give me some? My grandfather fought in battles early in life and suffered many hidden injuries. Whenever the weather changes, he gets aches all over his body. Drinking your wine has helped a lot."

Gu Xinran was very happy that she could help a hero who pacified the world to relieve his pain, and she was also proud that she could own various items made of spiritual spring water.

"Anything produced by Ran Ran must be of the highest quality! How much do you want?"

Seeing that she agreed immediately, Duan Yunchi simply asked for a huge sum, "The more the better. I'll pay for it, you name the price."

Gu Xinran remembered how much he had taken care of the Gu family and didn't want his money.

However, this reminded her that she could open a winery when she went to Yunzhou. The medicinal wine with miraculous effects made by adding spiritual spring water would surely sell well and make her a fortune.

One more way to make money!

It was unrealistic to bring too much wine with you on the road, so Gu Xinran said, "I don't have much at the moment, so I can only give you ten kilograms. Bring me a jar and I'll fill it for you.

We hunted two tigers in Yunhua Mountain. When we get to Yunzhou, we can brew a lot of it. When I open a winery, you must come and support me."

Duan Yunchi ordered the servant waiting at the door to get the jar. He was very happy and looked forward to Gu Xinran's winery opening soon.

"Haha, Ranran, if you go to Yunzhou to open a winery, our Zhennan Palace will apply to be the first VIP."
