Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng immediately went to prepare his things.
This time, no one stopped him.
As it turned out, before he even set off, Gu Shouxin arrived.
Upon hearing Lu Zheng's plan, Gu Shouxin called him aside and talked to him alone for a while before letting him leave.
Gu Shouxin knew that no one could stop him, and even if the emperor gave an order, Lu Zheng probably wouldn't listen. So, he simply sent Lu Zheng what he knew about the current situation of Langge Kingdom, as well as the terrain around Langge Kingdom and Sand God Kingdom.
Lu Zheng packed his bags and solemnly knelt on one knee before Gu Shouxin: "Second Uncle, if I don't find Xinxin this time, I won't come back. If I don't return, I hope you can help take care of my maternal grandparents. I hope you can make arrangements for all the properties under my name! You can use all the people I have in the shadows! Lu Zheng thanks you in advance!"
"I don't care about your things!" Gu Shouxin looked at Lu Zheng, sighed inwardly, and said, "I only have one request for you: come back. Bring Xinxin back. Everything else is unimportant. You and Xinxin are the most important."
"Yes, thank you, Second Uncle!" Lu Zheng stood up, slung his bundle over his shoulder, and turned to leave.
"Wait a minute," Gu Shouxin called out to Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng stopped.
"Here you go." Gu Shouxin took out a small medicine bottle and handed it to Lu Zheng. "The contents of this bottle dissolve instantly in water, so keep it safe. If you get injured or can't hold on on the snowy mountain, take one; it can save your life! There are only ten in the bottle, so use them sparingly!"
"Okay." Lu Zheng took it without asking what it was made of.
"Take care!" Gu Shouxin patted his shoulder.
I've known this guy for over four years, and he's grown taller!
He gave Lu Zheng jade beads. Gu Xin had saved up quite a few when she was in Kuncheng. Not knowing when Gu Xin would return, Gu Shouxin didn't give Lu Zheng too many, only ten beads.
Lu Zheng nodded, put the small medicine bottle away, and went out.
Gu Shouxin followed him out.
Outside, Grandma Xiao and Grandma Gu stood guard beside the carriage, which was loaded with food, drinks, and clothes.
Xue Qianyu and Gu Nian were also present.
"Yuanyuan, take good care of yourself and bring Xinxin back!" Grandma Xiao said, her eyes filled with tears, as she held Lu Zheng's hand and choked out her words.
"Grandma, I will. Take good care of yourself and wait for me to come back." Lu Zheng wiped away Grandma Xiao's tears.
"Okay, okay..." Grandma Xiao turned her back and wiped away her tears.
"A-Yuan, take good care of yourself." Grandma Gu patted Lu Zheng's shoulder.
"Mm." Lu Zheng nodded.
“Lu Zheng, you’ve already called me sister. I hope you can bring my sister back safe and sound, and likewise, bring my brother-in-law back safe and sound,” Gu Nian said.
“Okay!” Lu Zheng nodded.
"We'll wait for you to come back!" Xue Qianyu punched Lu Zheng in the chest.
Lu Zheng nodded.
Then he turned around, got into the carriage, and drove off alone.
After traveling for a while, Bai Er and his group caught up with them.
There are many things to deal with after the war. Meng Meng and the others who are in the military cannot go with Lu Zheng, but Bai Er and the others are not in the military and can go with him.
"Master, the Third Miss is in trouble. It is our fault. Please take us with you!" Bai Er said, clasping his hands in a fist salute.
Lu Zheng didn't say anything, neither agreeing nor refusing.
Bai Er then led Bai Si, Bai Liu, Bai Ba, and Bai Shi onto the carriage, while Lu Zheng continued driving. He also wanted to enjoy the cool breeze, so he didn't let them drive.
