Chapter 67 Going Home



Li Chang'an stayed at Jiayang Pass for three days before preparing to leave.

Meng Sanguan and his group stood outside Jiayang Pass.

"Is the immortal master about to depart? We have failed to provide adequate hospitality."

Li Chang'an, mounted on his horse, cupped his hands in greeting and said with a smile, "Your Highness of Lingnan is too kind. I was simply missing my wife so much that I was in a hurry to return."

Zhang Jiadi, dragging his body, looked at him with tears in his eyes.

"Brother Haoran, we have only just met and are already parting again. I'm afraid we don't know when we will meet again."

Given the inconvenience of transportation in ancient times, once he recovered from his injuries, he would probably have to rush back to the capital.

The capital city is far from Lingnan.

I fear this parting may be the last.

Li Chang'an looked at him, feeling a little reluctant to part with him.

Although this top scholar was not very good at social skills, it was precisely his pure heart that touched Li Chang'an.

"Brother Yujie."

He cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Zhang Jiadi.

"The book says that all good things must come to an end, but don't worry, Brother Yujie, the book also says that we may meet again anywhere in life."

"The journey through life is long, but we will meet again someday. I, Li, take my leave!"

Li Chang'an rode away on horseback, leading his men with a carefree air.

"We may meet again anywhere in life!"

Zhang Jiadi murmured his words, unable to hold back his tears.

He felt that having such a kindred spirit in the world meant that even if he died now, he would have no regrets.

To save him, he single-handedly slaughtered an army of 140,000.

Such friends, such confidants, are hard to find in this world.

Wang Zhongxian stood on the city wall, watching Li Chang'an walk away.

He didn't know whether this divine disciple would be a blessing or a curse for the Ming Dynasty.

However, he couldn't decide such a thing.

Whether it's a blessing or a curse, he can't stop it.

Regardless of Li Chang'an's unparalleled appearance.

It was still the Ming Dynasty's attitude towards Li Chang'an.

These are not decisions that he, as the head of the Eastern Depot, could make.

The Director of the Eastern Depot held a very high official position, and the "Nine Thousand Years Old" was also a figure of great prestige.

But if we really talk about it...

It's just a dog.

It was a neutered dog.

He chuckled self-deprecatingly and bowed in the direction Li Chang'an had gone.

Anyway.

To be able to become sworn brothers with a deity in this lifetime.

It was worth it!

At the entrance of Chengxi Village, Lin Dongdong rested her chin on her hand, staring blankly into the distance.

I've already learned a hundred characters, but why isn't my brother-in-law back yet?

She looked up at Qiu Xiang and asked, "When is brother-in-law coming back?"

Qiu Xiang looked at her with a helpless expression.

This question has been asked sixty times today.

I asked the question more than 240 times yesterday.

Ever since the housekeeper, Laifu, taught her a hundred characters.

This Miss Dongdong waits for the young master at the village entrance every day.

Their longing and anxious expressions were somewhat heartbreaking.

Miss Ya, on the other hand, is carefree, spending her days fussing over those little chicks.

This Miss Dongdong can't concentrate on anything. She asks hundreds of times a day, "Why isn't my brother-in-law back yet?"

"Young Master has gone out to do something important and will be gone for a while. Grandmother, let's go back. It's cold outside."

Qiu Xiang took a thick coat and draped it over Lin Dongdong, preparing to take her back.

In November, Lingnan is already getting a bit cold.

Fortunately, the young master left behind many blankets when he left, which prevented the villagers of Chengxi Village from freezing.

The princess has also been staying in the village these days.

She accompanied Madam Youchu, sewing cotton-padded clothes for the young master.

The three maids were assigned to take care of the two young ladies.

Chunxiang was the oldest and followed Madam Youchu.

Xia Xiang was quite composed and helped the madam take care of the young lady.

I was responsible for taking care of Miss Dongdong's daily life.

This job isn't tiring; the lady and young lady both came from hard times.

Unlike other wealthy families who are pretentious, they are kind-hearted, like bodhisattvas.

It's just that the young master isn't here, and I always feel a void in my heart.

He seemed insecure in front of the princess and her entourage.

After several months of recuperation, Lin Dongdong has recovered her health.

Her hair wasn't as dry and yellow anymore, and she had gained some baby fat on her face.

With its chubby appearance, it finally showed some of the charm of a little girl.

She looked into the distance and stood up with some reluctance.

He turned around and followed Sister Qiuxiang home.

The courtyard has been renovated very well.

Although it's not a big house with blue bricks and green tiles.

But she was already very content with the mud-brick house.

The yellow mud-brick house was covered with a layer of white lime.

The roof is triangular and covered with tiles.

This is the most beautiful house in the mountains.

The mountains have no shortage of land, so houses can be built as big as you want.

It's just that we don't have the time to build it.

On ordinary days, we're already struggling enough just to fill our stomachs.

Sometimes a large tile-roofed house is built there.

Only if Li Chang'an had a vast amount of grain could he afford to squander it like that.

Lin Youchu sat in the hall.

She looked at the cotton-padded coat she had just finished sewing, her eyes filled with tenderness.

When my husband comes back, I'll put on this cotton coat and won't be cold anymore.

My husband is the same; even though it's almost snowing, he's only wearing a thin long gown.

They're not afraid of getting cold anymore.

Xiao Ya, held in Xia Xiang's arms, chased after the chicks in the yard, giggling happily.

When she laughs, her body bounces up and down.

Since being fed Li Chang'an's milk powder, this little body has been growing faster every day.
