As a result, she had only been away from Jingliu County for an hour when she encountered a caravan on the road, coming from the direction of Luocheng County. She couldn't help but stop her horse, wanting to ask them about the caravan and see if they had heard about this incident.
However, when those people approached, she suddenly discovered——
Uh, the leader is...
That prodigal son?
Cai Junze and the group of people were talking and laughing as they walked. Laughter could be heard from time to time, and it seemed that they were having a great time chatting.
"Look, there's a person in front."
At this time, someone finally noticed that there was someone riding a horse stopped in front.
Cai Junze turned his head and looked over. He saw his mother sitting on the horse. The smile on her face froze instantly!
He walked quickly over to the horse, looked up at his mother on horseback, and said, "Mom, why are you here?"
Liu Shulin looked down at him, her eyes cold and her tone icy, and said, "Didn't you say you were going to move wood? Why are you here?"
Seeing his mother appear here, Cai Junze couldn't help but guess that it was probably because that brat Liu Shanyao couldn't control his mouth and leaked his affairs. Otherwise, why would his mother come here?
He chuckled and said, "Mom, do you know everything?"
Liu Shulin didn't say anything, just stared at him coldly.
Then he discovered that many of the people behind him were injured, their clothes were stained with blood, and some were wrapped in bandages, as if they had just returned from a war.
As for this prodigal son...
It seems like nothing is wrong?
At least, on the surface, there were no visible injuries.
Seeing his mother remained silent, Cai Junze could only explain, "Mom, I've already told you, don't worry about me. Look, I'm back safely now, right?"
He felt that his mother must have known that he had joined the caravan, so he could only confess honestly: "Yes, I did join the caravan's mission, but we completed the mission! Didn't we return safely?"
As he spoke, he took off a bag hanging from his waist, waved it in front of his mother, and said with a smile, "Mom, see this? This is the reward I got. Guess how much it is?"
Liu Shulin said coldly: "I'm not interested in guessing!"
Cai Junze untied the bag and showed it to her, with a big smile on his face, saying, "There are thirty taels in total!"
Thirty taels? Hearing this number, Liu Shulin couldn't help but be surprised, and subconsciously said: "Didn't you say your reward was three taels?"
Cai Junze chuckled, a hint of pride on his face, and said, "Yes, it was originally three taels! But, I performed a great service in escorting the caravan this time! After escorting the caravan to its destination, the caravan leader was so happy that he gave me thirty taels as a reward!"
When Liu Shulin heard about the thirty taels and the great merit he had achieved, she was shocked. She looked at him puzzledly and asked, "What great merit did you achieve?"
