However, this matter is not urgent. You can take a closer look at Yu Ji's true abilities and motives, and then make a decision.

This time, Yang Wanli's performance satisfied Wu Liang quite a bit. He was a good expert in gathering information and his execution ability was quite good. He could be used as a confidant in the future.

then.

"The old gentleman doesn't think my boat is broken, so how can I refuse?"

Wu Liang said with a smile, "But I still need to keep my ugly words in mind. I am not a boat that I can get on and off at will. The old gentleman had better think carefully before making a decision."

"Young Master was willing to give me some advice before, and this time he saved my life. I'm afraid he already regarded me as a member of the ship, so why bother to play hard to get now?"

Yu Ji also raised the corners of his lips and smiled.

"Hahaha……"

At this point, the two suddenly looked at each other and laughed.

Everything is left unsaid.

…

Then everything got on track.

After waiting for a few days, the finishing work on Haihunhou's tomb has been successfully completed, and Yang Wanli has also purchased enough horses and carriages from Yuzhang County.

After the soldiers of the Hu army loaded all the proceeds from the trip into their vehicles.

The group once again pretended to be the Beiqian family and headed towards Yanzhou along the way they came.

After doing this for half a month.

Wu Liang estimated the time.

When we arrived, we were not very familiar with the route and had no burden to stop and go along the way. It took us nearly a month and a half to reach Yuzhang County.

Although I had brought a lot more things with me on my return trip now, I had enough horses and carriages to help me, so my traveling speed was actually much faster.

Therefore, if nothing happens, we will be able to return to Juancheng in about half a month.

In this way, when we arrive in Juancheng, we can just catch up with the Spring Festival.

However, there was no such thing as "Spring Festival" in the Han Dynasty. At this time, celebrating the New Year was called "Guo San Chao".

Many customs of later generations originated from this time. The projects probably include sweeping ashes, worshiping heaven, worshiping ancestors, paying New Year greetings, etc. The head of the family like him also prepares some "New Year's money" for the younger ones.

However, the "New Year's money" given at this time was not real money.

They are some commemorative copper coins with auspicious words cast, mainly for good luck, unlike in later generations where even giving "New Year's money" became a means of comparison and to please the leaders, and the meaning has been distorted.

"When I go back this time, I will take advantage of the Chinese New Year to give haircuts to the beauties who have grown up. I will also make them happy and feel at home here."

Sitting in the carriage, Wu Liang planned what to do after returning.

Speaking of which, after the Chinese New Year, it will only be a few days until Bao Rou reaches adulthood...

Emmm...thinking about it, I feel a little excited.

Just when I was thinking about it.

"Wu Youcai, you have brought back so much gold this time, and you must have made great achievements again. How do you plan to ask Cao Mengde to reward you when you return?"

Bai Jingjing didn't know what else came to her mind, and suddenly asked a question that she shouldn't consider.

"Why are you asking this?"

Wu Liang came to his senses, raised his head and asked.

"It's just a casual question. It doesn't matter if you don't answer."

Bai Jingjing turned her head and looked at the scenery outside the carriage that was gradually moving backwards and said lightly.

The carriage was driven by Dian Wei, and only Wu Liang and Bai Jingjing were seated in the carriage, so they were not afraid of being overheard by those who did not want to do anything they said.

"It's not a good thing to take too much credit..."

Wu Liang pondered for a moment, smiled meaningfully, and said, "But speaking of rewards, I probably won't be able to get promoted in my official position in a short time. I've already received other rewards, and I'm afraid Boss Cao will too."

Because of this, I decided to take this opportunity to fight for some benefits for the brothers of the Huren Army. Firstly, Boss Cao will not feel that he owes me, and secondly, Boss Cao will feel that I am trying to win over him.

Only in this way can this matter be perfected by the human heart."

"If Cao Mengde knew that you thought about him so much, he would be very touched."

Bai Jingjing glanced at him sideways and said with some disdain.

It is rare in the world to flatter someone to this level. Anyway, Bai Jingjing has never seen such a thief before.

Wu Liang just smiled indifferently, and then said very jumpyly: "Then, I want to apply to Boss Cao to be transferred back to Chen Liu. It is not a good thing to be too close to Boss Cao and Boss Cao's family, so it is better to keep a distance.

Just keep your distance, besides, the house I have in Chenliu is so big, it’s more comfortable to live in."

"How big is it?"

Bai Jingjing asked subconsciously.

"It's at least three times bigger than the current house in Juancheng, and I personally planted some flowers and plants in the house. They should have frozen to death now, but after three dynasties, they should sprout again."

Wu Liang chuckled and said, "Speaking of three dynasties, Miss Jingjing, you have been away from home for some time, are you homesick now?"

"Although I may think so, as a Suizhu person, Suihou Zhu is more important than family."

Bai Jingjing's eyes dimmed slightly, but she quickly cheered up again and said with some self-comfort.

"That's true. In fact, in addition to the Suihou Pearl, I also have two beads on my body. If Miss Jingjing protects these two beads together, it will also alleviate some of her homesickness."

Wu Liang smiled coquettishly, like a big-tailed wolf.

"Scoundrel!"

Unexpectedly, Bai Jingjing actually understood this time. She immediately blushed and spat, turning her eyes away and ignoring him.

Just at this time.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"Someone is blocking the road!"

"Ready to fight!"

The Hu army, which had been marching silently, suddenly became chaotic. The sound of horse hooves was heard outside the carriage, as well as the voices of many people shouting. The relaxed and comfortable atmosphere disappeared in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Wanli rushed over and stood outside the carriage and reported loudly: "Master, it's not good! A group of horse thieves stopped us. I'm afraid the people who came here are not evil!"

"how many people?"

Wu Liang had already got out of the carriage and asked while looking around.

"Visually there are about 300 people. I haven't figured out whose group it is yet. I'm going to talk to their leader right now!"

Yang Wanli quickly raised his hands and said.

"No need, I'll go in person."

Wu Liang stood on the carriage and had already observed it.

The group of people who stopped them did not raise their flags, but judging from their messy clothing and equipment, as well as their formation, they were probably not a regular army, but rather looked like a temporary gathering of rabble-rousers.

However, the number of people did exceed three hundred.

As the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat with four hands. If a fight really breaks out, the Hu army with only about a hundred people may not be able to get a bargain. Moreover, the Hu army now carries a lot of supplies, so they will definitely not be able to escape.

Arriving in front of the formation, Wu Liang smiled and bowed his hands to the leader on the horse, and said with a smile: "General, I was going north to join my relatives and passed by the treasure land. I accidentally disturbed the general's purity. Here is the place for you."

General, please forgive me. Can you please be accommodating and let us go?"

Immediately, although the leader was relatively tall, he had a pair of extremely uncoordinated triangular eyes.

Seeing Wu Liang coming up to talk to him, this man immediately flashed his sword, looked at the dozens of carriages guarded by the Hu army, and said pointedly: "I am willing to let you go, but my brothers may not be willing to let you go.

!”

"It's easy to talk about. I would like to have a good relationship with the general, but I don't know the general's name."

Wu Liang continued to laugh and talk.

"Stop talking nonsense! Heaven is dead, Huang Tian is here to stand!"

The leader immediately stared at a pair of triangular eyes, pointed to the turban on his head and shouted, "If you want to escape unscathed, just leave those carriages and horses and take the people away quickly. I won't embarrass you."

That is, maybe when the world is in good times in the future, I, Qu Shuai, can write down a meritorious deed for you, if not... Huh!"

I go?

Are they actually the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army?

Wu Liang was stunned. If the leader hadn't made his words clear enough, he wouldn't have noticed that the dirty headscarf was actually yellow.

Thinking this, Wu Liang subconsciously looked back at Yu Ji, who had just emerged from the carriage.

Old sir, these are all your disciples and grandsons.
Chapter completed!
