Luna had been waiting for her outside since early morning. When she came out, he greeted her with a smile, "Little Brother Su, I've come to say goodbye today. I've taken up a whole day, and I don't know if my elder brother will come looking for me."
"So you have an older brother?" This was the first time Su Wan had heard Luna mention him. "How come you've never mentioned him before?"
Luna chuckled sheepishly, "We don't get along very well, so we don't see each other much. I have to get back now. I'll bring some more things to sell in Youzhou City another day, so you'd better hurry up. If someone offers a higher price, I'll sell them to someone else."
Su Wan laughed heartily: "Brother Lu, we've been working together so well, how can you bear to leave your little brother behind and do business with someone else?"
Luna was eager to return home. After leaving the general's mansion, she passed through Youzhou City and returned to the territory of the Western Rong Chakala tribe.
By the time he arrived home, the sun had already set. In the twilight, troop after troop of Western Rong cavalry, carrying battle flags and torches, galloped past his doorstep with the clatter of their hooves. Many Western Rong civilians watched from outside their tents.
Luna stood by the roadside, watching the Western Rong cavalry gallop past, and grabbed a nearby person to ask, "Why are there so many cavalrymen?"
The man recognized Luna and said, "Where have you been, kid? Don't you know what happened here? The Jade-Faced General of the Great Jin led his army to raid our horse farm and stole hundreds of fine horses. Your elder brother led his troops in pursuit and apparently shot an arrow at them."
Luna exclaimed "Ah!" and stood there stunned.
The man ignored Luna's expression and continued, "Your elder brother has already gone to the King. If General Jade Face is injured, this will be the best opportunity for us to attack the Great Jin. Unfortunately, it's not clear yet whether this is true. The King is preparing for the worst and has already begun mobilizing the army."
Luna was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses and asked, "Doesn't the King have a problem with heart palpitations? He clearly said that he wouldn't be attacking this year."
The man exclaimed, "Although Your Majesty has a chest ailment, if General Jade Face is truly injured, we must seize this opportunity."
Luna felt that an opportunity to make a fortune had suddenly arrived.
Since Your Majesty is going to war, if this medicine can cure Your Majesty's chest ailment, wouldn't treasures and beauties come rolling in? Why bother selling cattle and sheep?
Touching the medicine pouch in his arms, he called out to a passing Xirong cavalryman, "Brother, quickly take me to see my elder brother. I have brought a good medicine that can cure the king's chest ailment."
Given his status, he cannot directly meet the king. However, since his brother is already with the king, he can use this connection to see the king.
The Western Rong cavalryman recognized him, bent down and pulled his hand, and Luna leaped onto his warhorse.
The warhorse neighed and galloped off into the darkness.
