Xue Nizi, along with Han Yisong, has been going to the southwestern border with Han Mingjiang for three years.
He has never returned to Youzhou City.
Li Lanzhen promised Han Yibo that she would take him to see his parents.
Therefore, after all the grain in Peach Blossom Spring was harvested, Li Lanzhen handed over all the affairs of Youzhou City to Han Minghai.
She was taking Han Yibo on a trip to the southwestern border.
"Auntie, we're leaving the day after tomorrow. General Qi Kan has a team of over 100 people delivering supplies to the southwestern border."
Perfect timing, I'll escort you there.
Xuan Shen learned that Li Lanzhen was going to the southwestern border, and had been in contact with General Qi of the Youzhou Prefecture Garrison to see if anyone was going to the southwestern border.
Because the General of the Southwest Border was the son of General Qi.
Every year before the end of the year, the old man would transport a batch of supplies to the southwestern border.
Having received accurate information, Xuan Shen immediately returned to tell Li Lanzhen the news.
When Li Lanzhen heard that Xuan Shen wanted to escort her there, she quickly stopped him, saying, "No need. There are more than 100 soldiers. I'll be safe with them."
"You go about your business; you haven't been very busy lately."
Perhaps Li Lanzhen was too sensitive; she always felt that something big was about to happen in the imperial court.
In just three or four months, Li Lanzhen discovered that Xiao Wu and his fellow bodyguards had brought back more than 3,000 children and young people from outside.
They all entered the training camp for training.
Moreover, the training program at the training camp is particularly intensive.
Scrophularia smiled, seemingly unconcerned.
"It's alright, Auntie. I'll take Xiao Wu and Chang Fu with me."
Li Lanzhen hadn't heard any news about Chang Fu and the others for a long time.
After the training camp was built, Chang An and his four companions entered the camp and began their grueling training.
According to Xuan Shen, all five of them became secret guards.
They started going out to carry out missions one after another this year.
Seeing that Xuan Shen insisted, Li Lanzhen had no choice but to say, "Alright, as long as it doesn't interfere with your business, let's go together. We can go and see what kind of grains, vegetables, fruits, and seeds are available in the southwest and bring them back."
I think the temperature in our Peach Blossom Spring Grand Canyon is quite mild.
On the surface, Li Lanzhen brought a lot of valuable information to Han Mingjiang and his team during this trip.
She prepared a large amount of food for them in the space, including sweet potatoes, potatoes, and vermicelli.
Once you get there, act according to the circumstances.
If they were short of food, Li Lanzhen would not mind leaving them a large amount of grain.
There was no other reason than that his son was still in the army.
After bidding farewell to the villagers in Peach Blossom Spring, Li Lanzhen arrived in Youzhou Prefecture and joined the more than 100 soldiers who were going to escort the supplies together.
This was also the first time she had met General Qi.
The old general was nearly 60 years old, with a white beard, a square face, and a pair of eagle eyes that seemed to see right through people.
He sat majestically on a chestnut horse, clad in soft armor, a leather whip in his hand.
Starting from the second year, Peach Blossom Spring began to send sweet potatoes, potatoes, and some vegetables to General Qi.
The garrison also owns large tracts of land, which are cultivated by villagers from the surrounding area.
Therefore, they were among the first to cultivate sweet potatoes and potatoes.
General Qi had long known of the extraordinary person Li Lanzhen, but he had never met her.
Upon meeting him today, he first clasped his hands in a fist and said loudly.
"Lady Li, I thank you greatly. My soldiers are able to have enough to eat now, all thanks to you."
Li Lanzhen lowered her head and smiled, "General, you're too kind. This is all I should do."
The old general is still here, guarding the people of Youzhou City.
I've discovered high-yield grain seeds, so of course I should send some over.
Only when our soldiers are well-fed can they have the strength to better defend our country.
"Hahaha!"
General Qi sat on his horse, tilted his head back, and laughed loudly.
"Well said, 'Defend the country!' Very well, Li Yiren. From now on, if you ever need my help, just let me know!"
Li Lanzhen knew that General Qi had deliberately concealed the truth about Gu Yuli and the warlord last time.
Although Xuan Shen mediated, Li Lanzhen still remembered General Qi's kindness.
Otherwise, this matter would definitely affect Han Mingxiang's future.
Their group set off from Youzhou City, first by carriage, then by boat, and then by carriage again...
After a long and bumpy journey of ten days, we finally arrived at the official road leading to the Southwest Hotel in Penang.
After arriving here, Li Lanzhen and the others could clearly feel the heat.
They had all changed their padded jackets into lined or single-layered garments.
Emperor Yuan of Jin ruled for five years, during which the local garrisons continuously suppressed bandits.
Therefore, road safety was guaranteed, and neither caravans nor ordinary people visiting relatives and friends had to worry about bandits robbing them.
Li Lanzhen and her group had no obstacles along the way.
Han Yibo was very energetic throughout the journey.
Li Lanzhen was not worried that he might get a headache or fever along the way. He drank spiritual spring water every day and did not rush. He would stay overnight in towns and cities of all sizes and rarely camped out in the wild.
He heard Li Lanzhen tell him that he was about to see his father and mother.
Han Yibo was incredibly excited and sat by the carriage window, watching the outside world.
He would chatter away, telling Li Lanzhen what kind of fruit he had found or what color flowers he had seen.
Suddenly, the rapid clatter of hooves came from ahead.
Li Lanzhen heard that quite a few people had come.
She seemed tense; could some urgent battle have broken out?
If that's the case, then they've really hit the jackpot, encountering something like this so soon after arriving.
As she was pondering, Han Yibo stuck his head out the window and shouted loudly.
"Father~ Father, brother~ brother."
Then he poked his head in again, excitedly grabbing Li Lanzhen's hand.
"Grandma, it's Daddy and Brother! They've come to pick us up!"
Li Lanzhen also quickly pressed her face against the window and looked out.
Just then, a dozen or so horses slowly came to a stop.
Li Lanzhen then heard two voices.
"mother!"
"grandmother!"
"We've come to pick you up."
The carriage stopped, and Han Yibo eagerly climbed out, only to see Han Mingjiang sitting on the horse.
He stretched out his arms and shouted, "Father, Father, Father!"
Han Mingjiang bent down and hugged Han Yibo in his arms.
Then everyone heard Han Yibo's earth-shattering cries, as he sobbed and complained.
"Waaaaah, Daddy, why don't you come home to see me? Don't you want me anymore? I miss you, Mommy, and my brother so much, waaaaah."
This child had kept all his longing for them hidden in his heart, and now it has been completely released.
Han Mingjiang picked him up and chuckled, wiping away Han Yibo's tears with his rough hands.
"Son, that's enough. A real man doesn't shed tears, even if he bleeds."
"Daddy, isn't this here to pick you up? Don't cry!"
Han Yisong also rode over on his horse and saw Li Lanzhen preparing to disembark from the carriage.
He quickly jumped off his horse, ran to Li Lanzhen, and helped her slowly get off the carriage.
Then he hugged Li Lanzhen tightly, "Grandma! I really missed you. How are you? I miss your delicious cooking so much."
Li Lanzhen's eyes welled up with tears as she tightly embraced her grandson.
This child, who is around 13 years old, is already a little taller than her.
It's black, but very sturdy.
After the grandmother and grandson had finished their intimate moments, Li Lanzhen turned to look at her son.
Han Mingjiang saw that Li Lanzhen's eyes were slightly red and shouted loudly.
"Mother, your son has come to pick you up. Let's go home."
