Lu Zifeng got up in the morning and practiced his shooting skills for a while. The four servants beside him watched for a while, and Lu Chun took a few steps forward.
"Master, your spear skills are truly amazing. Can I learn from you?"
The shooting skills that Lu Zifeng just demonstrated were comprehensive shooting skills, which were also the shooting skills he taught to several of his clan brothers.
"If you want to learn, I am willing to teach you."
Lu Zifeng demonstrated the gun technique again and asked them to see if they could remember it.
What Lu Zifeng didn't expect was that these servants were all martial arts geniuses. After watching it once, they were able to practice the spear technique pretty well.
In the morning, Chun, Xia, Qiu and Dong all learned how to use a spear, and all that was left was for them to practice more on their own.
After breakfast, Lu Zifeng took Chun, Xia, Qiu and Dong out. Before leaving, he asked the new housekeeper Lu Zhong to prepare a banquet as he would be hosting a party at noon.
Lu Zhong readily agreed and hurriedly ordered the servant to start purchasing ingredients.
Lu Zifeng took four servants to the temporary military camp outside the city. This was the camp of the imperial army heading north, and Lu Zifeng's four brothers were all here.
After saying the names of the four people outside the military camp gate, the guard soldier nodded, gave a few instructions to the soldiers around him, and walked into the camp. In just a quarter of an hour, Lu Ziqing and the other three came out. When they saw Lu Zifeng, they ran over and hugged him first.
"Brother Feng, didn't you go into the city to surrender the prisoners? Why did you run out?"
Lu Zifeng smiled.
"Can you brothers go out today?"
Lu Zizhen said.
"You can go out. We originally wanted to go out to the capital for a stroll today, but after thinking about it, we decided not to go. I didn't expect you to come."
Lu Zifeng said after hearing this.
"Brothers, go ask for leave! I'll treat you today."
When they heard this, they were very happy and hurried back to the military camp to ask for leave. Then they went to the capital with Lu Zifeng.
After entering the city, several people were stunned by the prosperity of the capital. Everything they saw along the way was strange to them. Fortunately, they had been out for a few months and had gained some experience, so they finally did not embarrass themselves or show weakness.
I followed Lu Zifeng all the way to Lu’s residence.
Looking at the tall and handsome man in front of them, although they were very surprised, they did not find it strange. The main reason was that since Lu Zifeng returned to the family, he often did things that surprised them.
They had seen it all when they were in Luzhou Prefecture. While other members of the clan were struggling to make a living, Lu Zifeng had already arranged a house for his family and bought a farm, and his second uncle had already become the master.
When Lu Zhong heard the doorman report that his eldest young master had arrived with several clan brothers, he hurried from the kitchen to the front yard.
"Meet the young master."
Lu Zifeng said with a smile.
"Alright, let's get started. These are all my brothers. I invited them to dinner today and wanted to let them recognize me as my clan so they can find me later."
Lu Zhong hurriedly bowed to Lu Ziqing and the others, then led everyone to the hall in the front yard and served tea.
"Young masters, please wait here for a moment. I will ask the kitchen to start serving the dishes."
After Lu Zhong left, Lu Zikai smiled.
"Oh, now Feng Ge'er has impressed us. He even owns a property in the capital and can be considered a Beijing resident."
"Brother Feng, where did you earn your money?" Lu Ziming was also very curious.
Lu Zifeng glanced at a few people.
"A friend and I have joined a caravan. He will be coming over soon. When the time comes, you can discuss with him whether you can become a shareholder. You can also share some of the money. After all, making money is always faster than farming."
There was a reason why Lu Zifeng said this. Regardless of whether his father was from the Duke Dingguo's Mansion or not, his family still needed to do business.
Firstly, he could quickly gather a sum of money, as money was needed no matter what he did. Secondly, if his father was the heir of the Duke of Dingguo, he would naturally need money to make arrangements when he returned to the Duke's Mansion.
Also, whether he returns to the Duke's Mansion or not, if he wants to climb up, he still needs people. These people are now sixth-rank captains in their respective camps, the same as himself.
These brothers from the same clan will be his future team. His family and clan complement each other and no one can do without the other, so he decided to take a few brothers to do business, so that they can all earn money and strengthen their relationship.
Soon Lu Zhong brought up wine and food with his servants. Lu Zifeng invited everyone to the table and ate and drank together. Because they had not seen each other for several months (they were in their respective military camps), the feeling of politeness and unfamiliarity disappeared without a trace.
It was not until the end of the afternoon that the few of them left on horseback. Lu Zifeng also wanted to keep them overnight, but there were military laws in the barracks, so the four of them had to return to the barracks.
After seeing off several clan brothers, Lu Zifeng returned to his room to rest, and Lei Ting came out.
"Master, do you really want to let these families join the caravan?"
"Well, Lei Ting, my foundation is too shallow. I need to develop my own power. Of course, it must be open. These are the team members."
Dingguo Gongfu.
"Is the boss back?"
Seeing that the old lady was asking again, Nanny Cheng said.
"Madam, how about you wait a moment? I'll go to the front yard to see if the Duke has returned."
Kang sighed and waved his hand.
"Go quickly, this boss, he knows I want to see that kid, but he's just dragging his feet."
Nanny Cheng smiled helplessly.
"Old Madam, you know the Duke is very busy and only comes home at night. He is also the Minister of War. Now that the imperial army has returned from the northern expedition, he must make arrangements for the meritorious soldiers before the New Year. It is understandable that he has so many things to do."
Kang scolded with a smile.
"You old bastard, I just had a few complaints. Why should you lecture me? Well, go and see for yourself!"
Seeing that the old lady's mood had calmed down, Nanny Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the house towards the front yard.
As soon as Lu Minghan entered the mansion, he saw Nanny Cheng standing at the second gate. Thinking that something had happened to his mother, he asked.
"Madam Cheng, is there something wrong with mother?"
"Duke, you know that the old lady has been looking forward to meeting the eldest young master since she returned home. However, she has been back for several days and has not seen the eldest young master. The old lady is a little anxious."
When Lu Minghan heard what Nanny Cheng said, he remembered that he had forgotten to tell Feng Ge'er to come to the Duke's Mansion.
"Mammy, go back and tell Mother, I'll take care of this right away. I've been so busy these past couple of days that I almost forgot about it."
Lu Minghan returned to the study, and Lu Fang walked over and whispered.
"My Lord, I just received news that Prince Qing has arranged for another group of people to leave the capital. I'm not sure if they're heading to Luzhou Prefecture. How about we send someone to Luzhou Prefecture as well?"
