Hearing Lu Zifeng's laughter, Situ Yi looked at Zhijian angrily at first, but then he also laughed. In fact, he knew very well that Zhijian was actually doing this for his own good. He was angry just now because he felt that this kid did not give him face. But then he thought again, there was nothing he could not let Lu Zifeng know.
The two of them ate and talked about the past, about killing Tatars on the battlefield last year, and about how Lu Zifeng had brutally tortured Tatar warriors in the palace some time ago.
Not only did everyone in the capital know about Lu Zifeng's past, but Situ Yi knew it even more clearly. Seeing that they were about to arrive at Luzhou Prefecture, Situ Yi asked.
"Brother Feng, speaking of which, the last time I was in Bingzhou Prefecture, I should have visited your former Lujia Village, but unfortunately I forgot about it. I also wanted to see the place where you used to live."
Lu Zifeng rolled his eyes at him. "To tell you the truth, I've only lived in that Lujia Village for about ten days. I just got home and started fleeing the famine. What's there to see?"
"Now the Lu family all lives in Luzhou Prefecture? Of course, Huzhou is the real hometown and the ancestral home and ancestral tombs are there, but I don't know what my uncle and my father think about the things going on there. Will they seek revenge for the two great-grandfathers?"
Situ Yi, who knew everything about the Lu family, thought about it.
"It's really hard to say how to avenge this. Those people killed two of my great-grandfathers. One was kicked out of the house when he was young, and the other tried to poison him."
"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. Let's leave this matter to the elders! It's more practical for us to live in the present."
The boat slowly approached the Luzhou Prefecture Pier. Standing on the boat and looking at the busy scene at the pier, Lu Zifeng sighed.
"Alas, back then, several of us brothers rode together on horseback to the border, but now we are returning to Luzhou Prefecture by boat.
Lu Chun, Lu Xia and Zhijian first moved the two people's luggage off the boat, while Lu Zifeng brought Situ Yi to meet the manager of the merchant ship.
"Manager Liu, thank you for your care these days. Take this silver."
When Manager Liu saw Lu Zifeng take out twenty taels of silver, he quickly declined.
"Oh, Master Lu, you are too polite. You just got off the boat for the occasion. Why would you need any money? It's just a small matter. Master Lu, please don't be so polite. If the master knew about it, I would probably be in big trouble. Please forgive me, Master Lu!"
Lu Zifeng and Situ Yi looked at each other and understood in their hearts. They probably thought that their unintentional conversation in the past two days had exposed their identities, and said with a smile.
"Well, since Manager Liu is so polite, then we two brothers will remember the Liu family's kindness."
After hearing what Lu Zifeng said, Manager Liu finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had accidentally overheard the conversation between those servants two days ago, and only then did he know that this Young Master Lu was actually the prince of the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion, and the other was the son of the Prince of Jing's Mansion. Haha, his ship was lucky enough to carry a prince and a son of the Prince's Mansion. If he told the master about it when he returned, he estimated that he would be appreciated even more by the master.
Seeing that the three sword-wielding men had already moved all the luggage off the boat, Manager Liu also asked his men to bring two carriages.
"My lords, I have prepared two carriages for you. One is for your luggage, and the other is for you two to ride in. However, the conditions are a bit simple, so I am sorry to both of you."
Seeing that Manager Liu was so understanding, Situ Yi was happy and smiled.
"Haha, Manager Liu is such a thoughtful person! Don't worry, I'll remember you. If I ever have the chance to meet the head of the Liu family, I'll definitely say a few good words for you."
Situ Yi's words made Manager Liu smile so happily that wrinkles appeared on his already round and plump face. This made Lu Zifeng, who was watching from the side, embarrassed, so he changed the subject.
"Okay, the luggage is packed, let's go now. If we leave now, we should be able to get home before dark."
The reason why Lu Zifeng said this was mainly because the wharf of Luzhou Prefecture was located outside the city. If they delayed any further, it would probably be a problem for the two of them to even enter the city. Then they would probably have to stay in Lujia Village.
The two said goodbye to Manager Liu and got on the carriage. The coachman was originally from Luzhou Prefecture, but after Lu Zifeng told him the address, he didn't bother to care anymore.
The two carriages rushed and finally entered the city before the city gate closed. Situ Yi lifted the curtain and looked at the bustling streets with emotion.
"Ah, I didn't expect that Luzhou Prefecture would be even more lively than Jizhou Prefecture. It seems that the prefect here is doing a pretty good job!"
Lu Zifeng asked, "Don't you know who the prefect of Luzhou Prefecture is?"
Situ Yi was looking out the window. When he heard Lu Zifeng ask this, he asked with a look of surprise.
"Do I know the prefect here?"
Lu Zifeng shook his head. "Mr. Nan, you know, right? The prefect here is his father, the brother of Princess Jing, and Situ Hao's uncle."
Situ Yi suddenly realized.
"So it's the Third Master of the Nan Family. It seems that the Third Master of the Nan Family is quite capable, but he is not well-known in the capital. He seems to be a low-key person, but his son is a high-profile one."
As he said that, Situ Yi laughed and teased Lu Zifeng.
"Brother Feng, before I left, I knew your second son was a high-profile man. I heard that he beat up all the playboys in the capital, and he has many younger brothers following him."
When Lu Zifeng heard Situ Yi's teasing, his expression didn't change, and he sneered.
"That kid has been a bit arrogant lately, but I think he's having a rough time these past few days. I noticed something was wrong before I left, but I didn't have time to deal with it. I handed the matter over to Brother Chen, and I think he's already started dealing with him."
Lu Zifeng's words surprised Situ Yi. "Well, you're amazing, brother Chen. Although my martial arts skills aren't very high, it's enough to deal with Zi Yan. After all, his status is there."
Lu Zifeng took a sip of tea and then spoke.
"It was precisely because of this that I asked Brother Chen to discipline him. At first, I wanted His Royal Highness the Crown Prince or the King of Qin to discipline him, but then I thought about how busy those two were all day long, so I finally handed him over to Brother Chen to discipline him."
"Although Zi Yan is a bit jumpy, he's still quite obedient."
As they were talking, the carriage arrived at Lu's residence. Chang Lin was already waiting at the gate. When they were at the dock, Lu Zifeng had already notified Chang Lin with his mind that he was back and asked him to prepare everything at home.
"Master is back?"
When Lu Zifeng got off the carriage, he saw Chang Lin and the servants standing at the door to greet him and Situ Yi.
