The next morning, Jiang Yu found their residence based on the coded message left by Jiang Ming and the others.
The two arrived at a mansion and saw the two large characters "Jiang Mansion" on it. The characters were understated yet undeniably wild, and they were written in Zhang Liao's handwriting.
Jiang Yu stepped forward and knocked on the door. The person who opened the door was a middle-aged man in his thirties who looked like he had some difficulty with his right foot.
"Excuse me, does Jiang Yu live here?"
"Brother Yu, Little Mud, you're here?"
Before Qi Nuan and the others could hear a reply from the person who opened the door, they heard a surprised voice coming from behind them.
Qi Nuan and the others turned around and saw Ahua and Zhang Liao.
"Sister Ahua, I missed you all so much." Qi Nuan rushed into Ahua's arms and gave her a big hug.
Zhang Liao, who was standing nearby, was also very happy and stepped forward, saying, "Young master, you've finally arrived."
What happened?
Ahua touched the small scar on Qi Nuan's face and asked with heartache.
"It's nothing, just a minor injury."
If Ahua hadn't mentioned it, Qi Nuan would have forgotten that the scratch Awen had left on her face was now just a pinkish scar.
Zhang Liao led them into a courtyard and told Jiang Yu about their situation. The courtyard was large and there were many people inside, but Qi Nuan did not see any familiar figures.
Seeing Qi Nuan's puzzled expression, Ahua said, "Some of these are refugees we took in after arriving in Shangjun, and some are people we bought."
After the group entered a room, Ahua went to call the others.
It turned out that Zhang Liao and his group had been traveling non-stop since Jiang Yu and the others fell off the cliff, and they had arrived in Shangjun more than a month ago.
After arriving in Upper County, they
He then began to buy houses and fields, establish a household, take in refugees, and purchase slaves.
The current situation is not good, so these things don't cost much money, especially since slaves are extremely cheap now.
In addition, the prefect of Shangjun was exceptionally welcoming to those who came to Shangjun, so these matters were quickly settled.
However, with food prices remaining high, they don't have much food left, and providing daily rations for so many people is a major problem.
Jiang Yu nodded, and the others arrived when they had almost finished setting things up.
"Brother Yu, Little Mud..."
Jiang Ming patted Qi Nuan's head, looked at Jiang Yu, his eyes slightly red. Among them, Jiang Ming's feelings for Jiang Yu were the deepest.
The others then stepped forward to recount their joy at the reunion.
Xiangxiang cried when she saw the scar on Qi Nuan's face.
"Little Mud, you're not pretty right now, but don't worry, I'll definitely make you beautiful. After you apply my scar removal cream, I guarantee you'll be even more beautiful than before."
Qi Nuan chuckled, but was also deeply moved.
"Okay, I'll wait for Sister Xiangxiang's scar removal cream."
Jiang Yu and the others told everyone about their encounter with Big Beard and Xiao, and the others were naturally overjoyed, clamoring to go to the inn to see Big Beard and the others.
Zhang Liao had long been curious about who their master was, who could teach them such extraordinary skills, and expressed his desire to go along as well.
In the end, only Jiang Yu took Zhang Liao and Wang Er to pick up Big Beard and the others, while everyone else stayed behind to wait for them.
Jiang Ming went to reorganize the manpower, planning to hand it over to Jiang Yu in a couple of days. Qingqing and Amu naturally went with him.
Ahua then prepared dinner for the evening.
Xiangxiang led Qi Nuan to the backyard to study the scar removal cream.
There's a small pharmacy in the backyard built specifically for Xiangxiang. She usually likes to stay here alone and study these things. There are also newly planted flower branches around it.
"Little Mud, I'm sorry."
Hearing Xiangxiang's words, Qi Nuan looked up at her, knowing why she apologized, but it wasn't Xiangxiang's fault; they all knew that Awen had a problem.
But they were all extremely arrogant and never took Awen seriously, so this matter had little to do with Xiangxiang.
Qi Nuan pretended to be angry and said, "Xiangxiang, are you trying to slack off? Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and make me the scar removal cream."
"Hmph, is that it? You think I'm prettier than you, so you want to slack off?"
Xiangxiang put down the pestle, picked up a few more herbs, sniffed them lightly, glanced at Qi Nuan, and said, "I am the most beautiful."
Although Qi Nuan is very beautiful, Xiang Xiang thinks she is the most beautiful, and Xiao Niba can only be considered the second most beautiful at best.
Because the most beautiful thing is yourself.
However, she was very curious about the howl they were talking about.
She asked, "Is he really unable to speak?"
"He can speak, but he doesn't speak very fluently, and he doesn't talk much. It seems like he doesn't speak unless it's necessary."
Qi Nuan noticed Xiang Xiang's interest in him, glanced at her, and said, "He's here. You should treat him like our little friend and not tease him."
Xiangxiang rolled her eyes. "I'm older than you, of course I know! Don't act like a little adult, it's not cute at all."
Everyone was there that evening.
Everyone had a smile on their face.
They were all delighted and surprised by the arrival of the bearded man, and they said that after their parting three years ago, they would never see the bearded man again.
The bearded man had given them a second chance at life.
Although they still don't know who the bearded man is or even his name, he's already like family to them.
After the banquet, Jiang Yu brought Qi Nuan to the county government.
He gave Song Jingning some medicine made by Xiangxiang, hoping it would help his health, as he could see that Song Jingning's health was already very poor.
He hasn't told Jiang Ming and the others about his relationship with Song Jingning yet; he needs to ask Song Jingning for his opinion.
Song Jingning handed over the medicine bottle, a smile in his eyes.
"Little girl, we're not prepared since this is our first meeting. Here, take this little trinket and play with it."
After he finished speaking, he took a tattered military tally from his pocket and handed it to Qi Nuan.
Jiang Yu was shocked and looked at Song Jingning.
Song Jingning remained expressionless, looking at the surprise and doubt on Jiang Yu's face and said with a smile, "You should know what this is, and there is another incomplete one on you, right?"
Song Jingning looked at Jiang Yu and said with certainty, "However, you probably don't know its purpose. It is my token for managing my private army. Apart from me, it only recognizes the token and not the person."
He looked at Jiang Yu with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.
“I divided it in two, one half is with me, and the other half was given to my fourth sister…”
He coughed before he could finish speaking, and it took him a while to catch his breath.
"I just didn't expect that your mother had never used it. Now that it's been given to this little girl, whether you want it or not is up to you."
He finished speaking with a smile in his eyes. He basically knew about Jiang Yu's situation and the people around him.
Knowing that the girl was talking about the person he cared about most, and remembering what he had said yesterday, he gave this item to Qi Nuan.
Let's see what they do.
