"Ah, are you serious? Are they planning to leave me alone and go back?"
Liu Bang sat in the yard and spoke with great melancholy.
His expression was serious but he was still stroking the cub with his hands.
"How is that possible? My Lord and his men just went to the prefecture to pick up something. How could they not come back?"
Su Junqiang stood on the other side and retorted calmly.
This was the third time Liu Bang asked this question.
"Then why haven't they returned yet? It's already been three days. What could possibly have delayed them so long in the prefecture?"
Liu Bang was puzzled and angry. Those two people probably didn't even remember that there was a poor guy like him left at home.
"It must be something important. Don't worry and wait."
Su Junqiang comforted him.
The two were talking in the yard when Shi Hong walked in from outside, panting as if he had something to say.
"What's wrong?"
Su Junqiang asked.
"Master Zhao and the others are back."
Shi Hong replied.
"What! They're back! Where are they? I'll go pick them up!"
Liu Bang stood up quickly, put the baby who could no longer be held aside and prepared to rush out.
However, he was held down as soon as he ran to Shi Hong.
"Don't worry, listen to me. The Shi family received news that Lord Zhao and his men have returned, but they are not returning to Linjiao, but directly returning to Jiangyuan County!"
"ah?"
The other two were very puzzled and full of doubts.
Even if Zhao Jun and the others were going back to Jiangyuan County, they would have passed by Linjiao, but why was there no one there?
Shi Hong sat aside and spoke slowly.
"According to the information we received, they went directly to Jiangyuan County and came directly from the Changyuan River without passing through Linjiao."
"It seems they arrived directly on a strange black ship. We may have to wait until they return to find out the rest."
"All right."
Liu Bang sat back dejectedly.
"It's okay, now I finally got the news."
Seeing his expression, Su Junqiang continued to comfort him.
Liu Bang sighed and lowered his head.
On Zhao Jun's side, their ship sailed downstream along the planned route.
Although they were still traveling through the mountain gorges, it was much more comfortable to ride on this big ship. They had plenty of time to stand on the deck and chat and watch.
The ship was moving faster than expected.
They traveled day and night for only three days and arrived at Jiangyuan from the prefecture.
If we calculate based on the mountain road inside, it will probably take at least ten days.
In comparison, the ship is simply flying.
On the evening of the third day, they docked at the riverside in Jiangyuan County.
As soon as they came, they attracted the attention of the people, after all, they were such a big guy.
When someone saw the shadow from a distance, he ran to deliver a letter to County Magistrate Pan.
The boat was moored by the river, and Zhao Jun took the two of them onto familiar land.
"The scenery along the way is really beautiful. Now we are in Jiangyuan County, right? It looks very nice here too."
The first time he saw the county town in the mountains, Meng Yi was very lively.
"It's here now. It's really fast."
Xiao He stood by the river and looked at the docked boat and sighed again.
"Yeah, we're here now. Let's go. I'll take you out for some fun."
Zhao Jun raised his eyebrows, looked at Meng Yi, waved his hand and prepared to go to the county government office.
As a result, before they left, Pan Daning came with his men.
"What a big ship! Are you here to cause trouble?"
"I want to see who dares to mess with me, Pan Daning..."
Before Pan Daning could finish his sentence, he saw a large ship parked by the river and several familiar people standing under the ship.
He immediately stopped talking, quickly put on a smiling face and went to greet him.
"Master Zhao, you're back!"
When Zhao Junyi came down, the people of Jiangyuan County also recognized her.
Everyone felt relieved and welcomed her warmly.
Only the two people who went to report the news early didn't know.
"Hey, County Magistrate Pan, you're here so quickly."
Zhao Jun joked.
"Now that Lord Zhao has returned, we shouldn't line the streets to welcome him, right?"
Pan Daning spoke happily, and the people around him also welcomed him enthusiastically.
Because the wine-making workshop was so popular, the people of Jiangyuan County were very grateful to the female official in charge.
Zhao Jun waved his hand embarrassedly, and the few of them slowly walked out away from the crowd.
"Is the boat all right there?"
Xiao He looked back with some worry.
"It's okay, there are people staying on board."
Meng Yi has already made arrangements.
Pan Daning, who was walking in front and talking to Zhao Jun, also remembered it.
"Sir, that big ship you just came down from."
"I remember now. My Lord said before that he wanted to get a boat for transporting our winery. Is that the one?"
Pan Daning shouted excitedly, pointing his hands backwards.
Everyone around was startled by his sudden voice.
Zhao Jun glanced at him with a smile, and Pan Daning nodded with a gleam in his eyes.
"Oh, then why are we going back? Let's go back and check on the boat!"
"I've never seen a boat like it. It's ours from now on."
"Hahaha, Master Zhao, how come you are so powerful?"
Pan Daning shouted excitedly and was about to pull others back to check on the boat, but was stopped by her.
"Don't get excited. We'll have time to look at it later. Let's go back and talk slowly."
Zhao Jun shook his head helplessly. This man was too excited.
"Ahem, that's fine, I will obey you, sir."
Pan Daning looked slightly depressed as he led a few people back to the county government office.
"This is where you're staying in Ba County. It looks pretty good."
Xiao He took Meng Yi for a walk and returned to the yard.
"By the way, you guys didn't tell me on the boat before, what kind of workshop did the Master open here?"
Meng Yi had been intrigued all the way and asked Xiao He secretly out of curiosity.
"You'll know soon enough."
Xiao He smiled faintly.
Next to them, Zhao Jun and Pan Daning started chatting in the yard.
"Sir, you must visit the winery when you come back this time. We didn't expect this wine to be so popular."
"Now I'm leading everyone to make the second batch of fermented rice wine. We've doubled the production compared to before. You must come and see it. This is my first time leading people to make it, so I'm a little unsure."
Pan Daning said this with some trepidation, even though it has already been brewed, nothing can be changed.
But it’s still more reassuring to take a look.
"Okay, no problem."
Of course Zhao Jun nodded.
"What, sir, you opened a winery?!"
Meng Yi had many guesses in his mind before, but he never thought of this!
"In that case, sir, since I'm here I must try it."
Meng Yi said this with confidence.
Zhao Jun turned his head to look at him.
"Sorry, the first batch has sold out. You'll have to wait two months if you want to drink it."
"ah?!"
