Seeing the little girl's high spirits, Lu Zifeng was also very happy. The little girl had just arrived in the capital and was completely unfamiliar with everything here. It was good that her eldest cousin was taking her to meet some young girls. At least the little girl wouldn't be lonely anymore.
As they were talking, Lu Lancheng and the old Xu couple also came over. Lu Lancheng was happy to see his eldest grandson coming back.
After sitting down, he looked at Lu Zifeng and asked.
"Brother Feng, now that you're back, when are you planning to go to the military camp?"
Lu Zifeng poured Lu Lancheng a glass of wine and then said.
"Grandfather, I came back today to tell you that I'm going on a long journey tomorrow. This trip will probably take at least a month, so I came back to tell you."
Hearing Lu Zifeng say this, Lu Mingyuan and Lu Lancheng realized that Lu Zifeng's mission this time might be a little dangerous. However, now the honor and disgrace of the two Lu family mansions all depend on Lu Zifeng alone, and they can't say anything to stop him from going. Besides, this matter was obviously arranged by the emperor.
"Well, when you go out, you must pay attention to your own safety. Don't take risks easily. You must act within your ability."
In response to his grandfather's earnest teachings, Lu Zifeng smiled and nodded in agreement, which reassured them.
After all, Tan Yunniang and Xu were just women in the harem, and they did not show any worry about Lu Zifeng's trip. In their eyes, their son (grandson) was very powerful.
After dinner, Lu Zifeng returned to his yard and saw Lu Chun and his partner fighting with Lu Qiu and Lu Dong. When they saw Lu Zifeng coming back, the four of them stopped.
"Well, it seems that you guys are quite good and your martial arts skills have improved a lot."
The four of them said in unison.
"Thank you for the compliment, Master."
"Well, come in, I have something to tell you."
The four of them looked at each other and followed Lu Zifeng into the main hall.
Lu Zifeng glanced at them and said, "Lu Chun and Lu Xia, you two should take your luggage and leave the city now. Wait for me at the pavilion ten miles south of the capital. This time, you two should come with me."
"Lu Qiu, you and I look and have similar figures. Tomorrow morning, you will ride out of the city alone and head towards the western suburbs camp. Once you get there, don't come out for a while. I will write a letter to General Lan, and you can take it with you. He will let you stay there for a while."
"Lu Dong, I'm not home for the time being. You should follow the Second Brother and check out the young masters who are with him. Find out their backgrounds for me. After you find out, hand them over directly to Prince Jing's son, Situ Chen, and let him handle it."
Only after hearing this did Lu Dong understand what the prince meant. He thought that the prince had discovered that someone was doing something bad to the second young master.
"Master, don't worry! I will definitely take care of this matter."
"Well, that's all there is to it. Let's get ready!"
Early the next morning, Lu Qiu took the letter written by Lu Zifeng and rode his horse towards the western suburbs camp. Lu Zifeng disguised himself as a servant of the Marquis' Mansion and went out of the back door and headed towards the south gate of the capital, where Lu Chun and Lu Xia were waiting for Lu Zifeng with horses.
Lu Zifeng left the capital city smoothly and used his speed ability to quickly reach the Shili Pavilion in a deserted place.
"Master, here are your clothes. Why don't we find a place to change first?"
"No, let's go first and talk about it when we get to the next town!"
Lu Zifeng still wanted to leave the capital as soon as possible and think about other things after leaving here.
The three mounted their horses and ran quickly towards the south. It took them two hours to finish the shooting. It was almost noon when they finally arrived at a small town.
Lu Chun arrived in the town first and found an inn to stay in temporarily.
When Lu Zifeng arrived at the inn and entered the room, Lu Chun had already arranged for the inn waiter to bring hot water. After helping Lu Zifeng take a bath, he changed into new clothes.
"Master, when I came here just now, I met someone. It just so happens that I know this person. He is the son of a purchasing agent in Prince Qing's mansion."
Lu Zifeng was stunned when he heard this and asked with a frown.
"Are you saying that we have been exposed?"
Lu Chun shook his head. "That's unlikely. When I saw him, he was walking across from me. He didn't look like he knew me, and he gave me a vicious look."
Lu Zifeng felt relieved after hearing this. It was not because he was afraid of anything, but because things had not yet started and there was no room for any mistakes.
In the next few days, Lu Zifeng took Lu Chun and Lu Xia and it took more than ten days to reach Bozhou Prefecture.
The three of them led their horses into Bozhou Prefecture. The prefect of Bozhou Prefecture was Prince Qing's brother-in-law, so Lu Zifeng did not intend to reveal his identity. Instead, he disguised himself as a young master from an ordinary family who was out for fun and entered Bozhou Prefecture.
Bozhou Prefecture is located in the south of the Yangtze River. Both Bozhou and Luzhou Prefectures are located north of the Mingjiang River. Although it is located in the south of the Yangtze River, people in the south of the Yangtze River generally call it Jiangbei, which is not wrong. However, although Luzhou Prefecture is located north of the Mingjiang River, it is located in the upper reaches of the Mingjiang River, while Bozhou Prefecture is located in the lower reaches of the Mingjiang River. Relatively speaking, Luzhou Prefecture rarely experiences floods, but Bozhou Prefecture is in a high-incidence area of floods for at least three to four years out of ten years.
"Lu Chun, let's not rush into anything for now. Let's go to the pawnshop first to see if we can find a place to stay in Bozhou Prefecture. Lu Xia and I will wait for you at the restaurant."
After watching Lu Chun leave, Lu Zifeng took Lu Xia into a restaurant nearby.
In order to find out some information, the two did not go directly to the second floor, but chose to find a table downstairs to sit down. The location of this table was quite good, being in a corner.
The waiter saw the two people come in and came forward to ask.
"My two guests, what would you like to eat?"
Lu Zifeng did not answer, so Lu Xia came forward.
"Bring out a few of your signature dishes, and a jug of wine."
Who knew that as soon as the two of them sat down, they heard a voice filled with surprise.
"Brother Zifeng, I didn't expect to meet you in Bozhou Prefecture. Are you here...?"
Lu Zifeng looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young man standing not far away looking at him. He was delighted. It had been a year since they last saw each other, and he didn't expect to meet him here.
"Haha, Brother Lin, what a coincidence!"
Lin Yuqi walked forward with a smile, patted Lu Zifeng and said with a smile.
"Come on, let's go upstairs and sit. It's too noisy here. It's quieter upstairs."
At this point, Lu Zifeng was no longer polite. He winked at Lu Xia and followed Lin Yuqi to the second floor.
The two of them went up to the second floor together and sat down in a private room.
"Brother Zifeng, I remember your family should have gone to the capital now! Why are you here in Bozhou Prefecture now? Are you planning to start a business like me?"
