They brought with them the culture of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and at the same time, they also brought with them the most powerful army that symbolized the strength and victory of the Great Zhou.
Gu Shouxin, Gu En, and General Peng Si rode in one car, while Cai Xiaolian, Madam Peng, Gu Nian, Gu Si, and Huo Yanyu rode in another car.
Huo Yanyu wasn't initially included, since her absence would take at least two or three months, and at most half a year, which would worry the Huo family.
As a result, Huo Junhao directly sent Huo Yanyu over. Now that Huo Junhao is the magistrate of Chunnan County, he can no longer travel around like before, so he can only let his younger sister see the world for him first.
Huo Yanyu's parents did not force her to become a proper young lady. Especially in the past few years, Huo Yanyu has learned a lot from being with Gu Nian. Her parents saw the changes in her and naturally allowed her to follow the second branch of the Gu family.
Madam Peng the Second was the mother of Peng Erlang and Peng Sanlang. Not long after she gave birth to Peng Sanlang, General Peng Er died in battle. After that, she stayed with Madam Peng the First in the women's camp. This time, Peng Sanlang escaped death, and as his mother, she naturally had to go and bring her son back.
Seeing that Madam Peng San was listless all day because of Peng Wulang's sacrifice, and that Madam Peng Er was focused on protecting her country and fulfilling her husband's last wish, she realized that she had not cared for her two sons enough over the years.
So she offered to go with them.
General Peng readily agreed.
"Aunt Peng, Yiyi sent a message saying that Third Brother Peng has woken up, so don't worry too much. He'll be very happy to see you when he goes there this time." The Huo family and the Peng family have always had a good relationship because of the two old masters. Seeing Madam Peng start to lose herself in thought as she left, Huo Yanyu took her arm and comforted her.
"Yes, I know. I also read Yi Yi's letter. I was just thinking that once this war in the west is over, our Great Zhou's western region can enjoy peace for several decades!" Madam Peng sighed.
“Aunt Peng, that’s inevitable. So, you can do something you like from now on. This time, my father went with officials from the Ministry of Rites to discuss the division of territory. Kunzhou will no longer be a border town. I heard from Fifth Aunt that your family used to run a security escort agency. Have you ever thought about opening one again, Aunt Peng?” Having been with Cai Xiaolian for a long time, Gu Nian has gradually developed some of the mindset of a money-maker, starting from her technical background.
"This..." Madam Peng was taken aback, then smiled and said, "You must know that I am originally from Kunzhou. Back then, my father and several uncles opened a security escort agency in Kunzhou. I have been skilled in swordsmanship since I was a child. Later, the security escort agency had an accident, so I married into the Peng family. Over the years, I have only thought about fighting off foreign enemies and have never really thought about doing anything else."
“Aunt Peng is amazing! Your family used to run a security escort agency, so you must know how it works. You really should open one. After Uncle and the Ministry of Rites officials finalized the deal, we'll inevitably have trade dealings with the west. Wealthy merchants can have their own guards, but those with less power will definitely hire security escort agencies. We can just hire retired military officers as bodyguards. We can make money ourselves, provide others with a way to make money, and incidentally provide protection for merchants—a win-win-win situation!” Gu Si added.
Cai Xiaolian looked at Gu Nian and then at Gu Si. At this moment, she missed Gu Xin terribly. If that girl were here, she wondered what she would say to comfort her.
