When everyone set off, Lin Tongxi used the [Remote Communication] skill to send the official notice of departure to Su Ruoxue.
After receiving the information, Su Ruoxue also carried out the original plan and formally invited Lu Fengyu, the Tian family and other gentry to participate in the banquet.
Before this, it was Lu Fengyu who took the initiative to invite the gentry engaged in ordinary business, led by Su Ruoxue.
Seeing Su Ruoxue and others starting to move closer to him, Lu Fengyu's mood also improved.
Before this, he had been looking for opportunities to improve relations with this group of people in order to consolidate his rule.
It’s a pity that either some or some are missing, or maybe nothing was agreed upon at all.
Now that Su Ruoxue took the initiative to break the ice, Lu Fengyu saw an opportunity to improve his relationship with Yan Chenghong.
It should be noted that Su Ruoxue is from Ruihe Town, and Yan Chenghong is also from Ruihe Town. To some extent, they are from the same faction.
If Su Ruoxue spoke well of him, Yan Chenghong might consider her opinion to a certain extent.
The banquet was held at the Qixia Inn, which was run by Yu Motang, a local squire of the Yu family, and had been won over by Su Ruoxue.
At the same time, Yue Lingyun took Xiaojiu to visit the five major martial arts halls in turn, and discussed going to Wang's Martial Arts Hall for a competition in the afternoon.
As for Ye Moqing, he planned to come and help Su Ruoxue when he was free in the afternoon, and control the Tian family and other gentry under the pretext of a banquet.
Guangyang County is acting according to the plan, while the team from Ruihe Town is rushing to Guangyang County.
Lin Tongxi and others disguised themselves as a caravan transporting medicinal herbs and other goods and arrived at the gate of Guangyang County.
"Hey, isn't this Brother Dong? Are you leading the team again this time?" A gatekeeper saw Zhao Chuangdong and greeted him.
"Yes, my brother-in-law said this guy is too important, and he can only feel at ease if I lead the team." Zhao Chuangdong said, took out some silver and stuffed it into the official's pocket: "As usual, please treat us brothers to a drink, and don't let yourself be wronged."
The officer who greeted him took the silver, called other officers guarding the gate to come and share the money, and then symbolically checked it.
Another officer scanned the caravan and noticed a lot of new faces. He patted Zhao Chuangdong on the shoulder and said, "Brother Dong, why are there so many new faces?"
"Stop talking. Aren't there a lot of bandits lately? We were robbed last time and almost lost both ourselves and our goods. We're planning to hire a more respectable group of people to escort us." Zhao Chuangdong waved his hand helplessly, then pointed at himself: "Look, I'm personally involved. To be honest, I'm also nervous. I'm delivering the goods with my life on the line."
The officer who had just greeted him came over, patted Zhao Chuangdong, and helped him out: "Alright, alright, I know you've worked hard, brother Dong, go in quickly, let's find a chance to drink in the next few days."
"Okay, let's play rock-paper-scissors then. We won't go home until we're drunk. Whoever surrenders first will pay the bill!" Zhao Chuangdong bumped fists with the officer who greeted him, then led the caravan in.
Seeing that the caravan was led by their acquaintance Zhao Chuangdong, and given money, the other gatekeepers did not make things too difficult for the caravan.
Moreover, County Magistrate Yan Chenghong and Su Ruoxue both made their fortunes in Ruihe Town. If they made things difficult for Zhao Chuangdong, and the other party reported him, these officials would be in big trouble.
After the caravan successfully arrived at the Lin Mansion, Lin Tongxi and Chen Yunxuan, who were in disguise, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, this group of officers were new and did not recognize them.
"Why are you two so nervous? Don't you trust my disguise skills?" Seeing the two so nervous, Ding Hanling expressed her dissatisfaction.
"No, no, I have great faith in your disguise skills, Big Sister. I'm just afraid that Brother Yunxuan will be exposed accidentally." Lin Tongxi smiled.
"This... let's just assume that what Brother Tongxi said is true. I trust you." Chen Yunxuan responded helplessly.
Shen Xingyao and A Xiu also got out of the car. Seeing the three people joking with each other, they couldn't help laughing.
"Okay, let's go in and rest first. We have a tough battle tonight." Shen Xingyao urged everyone to rest.
Seeing this, Old Wu also hurriedly ushered them into the living room: "Miss Xingyao, what you said makes sense. Young masters and young ladies, please follow me."
"Oh, I haven't eaten Lao Wu's cooking for a long time. I'm craving it!" Lin Tongxi immediately expressed his nostalgia for Lao Wu's cooking skills.
"Hahaha, it is still Young Master Tongxi who appreciates my cooking skills the most! I will cook for you myself later, and I guarantee that you will be reluctant to leave!" Old Wu said with a smile.
Looking at Old Wu's appearance, Ah Xiu vaguely remembered a relative of hers: "Um...Butler Wu, do you know Pushou Village?"
"...Pushou Village? That's where my hometown is. What's wrong?" When Old Wu heard the familiar place name, he turned around and looked at A Xiu.
"Do you know Wu Zhengkang?" A Xiu continued to ask.
"Isn't that my brother... Could it be..." Old Wu vaguely guessed A Xiu's identity.
Ah Xiu burst into tears immediately. She finally saw a relative!
"Uncle, I'm A Xiu, Wu Zhengkang is my father, please take a closer look at me..." A Xiu said in a crying voice.
"Ah... Look at my brain, I didn't even recognize you! Xiu girl, you are still alive, it's really great." When Old Wu saw his niece, he was overwhelmed with emotions and didn't know what to say.
"Second uncle..." Ah Xiu was also speechless and just kept crying.
"Okay, okay, don't cry, girl. Go in first and talk to your second uncle slowly later." Old Wu asked the maid beside him to take out a handkerchief and wipe A Xiu's tears.
Several people went into the living room and took a rest to recover their strength.
During this period, Ah Xiu talked about the tragic situation in Pushou Village, which aroused Lao Wu's anger. He wanted to rush over with a kitchen knife and kill Lu Fengyu immediately.
