Liu Mansion, in the main hall.

After Lu An stated her intention of coming here, Mrs. Liu couldn't help but fell into deep thought. No matter what, Qingbei City was her home, and it was really difficult for her to make such a decision all at once.

However, Shuang'er on the side was full of expectations. Her eyes were always looking at Lu An. Mrs. Liu naturally discovered this as well. She knew Shuang'er's thoughts about Lu An better than anyone else.

In the more than a year and a half since Lu An left, the person Shuang'er mentioned the most was Lu An. Because Lu An had made a promise, Shuang'er was thinking about whether her elder brother would come back to see her today.

.Shuang'er dresses herself up beautifully every day and waits for Lu An to arrive.

Mrs. Liu took a deep breath, turned to look at Lu An and said, "Mr. Lu, I still have a family, I'm afraid I can't leave. But I can't take Shuang'er with me to take risks. Shuang'er is the only bloodline of my deceased husband.

, I want to give her to you."

Lu An was slightly startled when he heard Mrs. Liu's words. Just as he was about to say something, Shuang'er beside him spoke.

"Mom, you don't have any family!" Shuang'er looked at her mother and said anxiously, "You have been alone all this time, why do you want to stay here?"

Lu An frowned slightly, but in the end he said nothing. After all, Mrs. Liu had to make her own decision on this kind of thing, and it was not easy for him to interrupt. But she knew that Mrs. Liu probably wanted to commit suicide.

Liu Jincai is dead. I am afraid that Mrs. Liu has had a hard time persisting for more than a year. She must have loved Liu Jincai very much and wanted to follow him.

Mrs. Liu looked at her daughter with a heartbroken heart. She loved her daughter very much, but she had been really suffering for more than a year. Whether it was the pain of lovesickness or the hard work of maintaining the Liu family's business, it made her feel sad.

She was exhausted. She wanted to be free and find her own support.

"Mom!" Shuang'er cried, grabbing the corner of Mrs. Liu's clothes and crying, "Shuang'er is not stupid, don't let me go by myself..."

Seeing Shuang'er looking like this, Mrs. Liu's eyes turned red. She hugged Shuang'er hard and choked with sobs, saying, "Mother won't leave, mother won't leave."

Then, Mrs. Liu quickly looked at Lu An and said, "Mr. Lu, our mother

I'll go with you."

Lu An smiled, nodded and said, "Okay, madam, please pack it up as soon as possible, we will leave tomorrow. You only need to take things that can be carried with the space ring, and don't take anything else. I will prepare it for madam then.

"

With that said, Lu An handed over his hands and was about to leave. But just when he was about to turn around, he suddenly remembered something, turned back to look at Mrs. Liu and asked, "May I ask Mrs. Liu, what happened to the Shengwei Escort Agency?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu wiped away her tears and regained her posture and said, "Due to foreign invasion, the country forcibly recruited soldiers to resist foreign enemies. The Shengwei Escort Bureau had a great reputation in Qingbei City, so they were all brought to the front line. The current Shengwei Escort Bureau

Most of the people have left, and only a few people are still looking after the house."

Lu An was startled when he heard this, then frowned and asked, "Master Chen, are all his sons gone?"

"It seems so." Mrs. Liu thought carefully before saying, "Master Chen must have gone. As for his son, he came back not long after the incident in Dacheng Tianshan. It seems that he did not go at the beginning, but later he went.

Already."

Lu An frowned even more when he heard this, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Liu."

Soon, Lu An left Liu Mansion, but instead of returning to the inn, he went straight to the Shengwei Escort Agency. When he arrived at the Shengwei Escort Agency, he found that the two stone lions outside the door were covered with dust.

It's obvious that no one has cleaned it for a long time.

Lu An stepped forward and knocked hard several times, but there was no response. Lu An frowned and jumped directly into the Shengwei Escort Agency.

Upon first sight, the Shengwei Escort Bureau looked like it had gone through many changes. The swords, guns, clubs and weapons training equipment in the yard were covered with dust, and it was obvious that no one had touched them for a long time. The whole yard was empty, and there was no one.

Lu An walked around the courtyard looking around, but saw no one at all. Just when Lu An was about to give up, he suddenly saw a middle-aged man coming out of the kitchen.

Son, his left leg is broken and he is lame...

The man came out with a cane. When Lu An saw this, he felt happy and ran over quickly.

"Senior!" Lu An shouted loudly. After hearing the sound, the man turned his head and saw that it was a young man running over. He couldn't help frowning and looking up and down, and asked, "Who are you and how did you get in?"

?”

"I..." Lu An paused, thought for a moment without saying his name, and said, "I am a friend of Chen Wen. I was passing by Qingbei City and wanted to ask if Brother Chen is here?"

"Chen Wen?" The man snorted and said, "You have already gone to the front line to fight!"

Then, before Lu An could write the narrative, the man sarcastically said to himself, "The current imperial court is just looking down on human life. After losing the Dacheng Tianshan Mountains, there is no qualification to resist. Now they are recruiting soldiers everywhere and letting people die. When will everyone

They were willing to surrender only after all their lives were lost."

"Fortunately, I am a lame, otherwise I would have followed him to death. It's a pity that I was so angry with the escort agency that I had to die in such a unnecessary sacrifice." With that, the man leaned on crutches again and prepared to leave.

Lu An frowned slightly when he heard this. When he saw the man about to leave, he took a step forward and asked, "Excuse me, do the people from the Shengwei Escort Bureau not want to join the army?"

"Who said that?" The man suddenly stopped, turned around and glared at Lu An, and said angrily, "A good man fights for his country. This is a matter of course. Even if it means death, I will not hesitate to do so! My life is full of blood.

How can people just watch other countries invade and occupy us?"

"..."

Lu An looked at him in astonishment. This man was scolding the imperial court just now for disregarding human life. Why did he say such words now?

However, from what this person said, the people from the Shengwei Escort Bureau were willing to go to the front line to fight, presumably. Otherwise, at least with Chen Wen's strength, he would still be able to hide in the mountains.

"In that case, I won't bother you, junior." Lu An handed over his hand and said politely, "Farewell."

Following that, Lu An left the Shengwei Escort Agency and returned to the inn. Because there were almost no people staying in the inn, the entire second floor was occupied by Lu An. At this time, Yang Mei and Liu Yi were sitting in the room.

The beauty was sitting alone, while the other three seemed very reserved and chatted quietly.

Seeing Lu An coming back, Liu Yi and the others' eyes lit up, and they felt relieved. They quickly walked over and asked, "Lu An, how are you?"

"We'll leave tomorrow." Lu An looked at Liu Yi and said, "Have a rest here tonight."

When they heard that they were going to Purple Lake City tomorrow, the eyes of Liu Yi and the three of them shone with anticipation. They had all heard from Lu An about the magic and power of Purple Lake City, and they could not wait to go. Moreover, they thought they would go there alone.

We got to know each other very well in a few days and have become very good friends.

Of course, Lu An is also happy to see them like this, so that they can take care of each other after arriving in Purple Lake City. In fact, he is not worried about Liu Yi. Liu Yi's character and ability can survive well no matter where he goes.

.On the contrary, Kong Yan and Chu Ling probably have very little external experience.

In the afternoon, everyone walked around Qingbei City. After dinner, they went back to their rooms to rest. The bright moon was in the sky, but Lu An was not sleepy at all. He was supposed to be practicing, but at this moment he was standing at the window, looking at

Looking at the scenery outside, he looked a little solemn.

After a while, Lu An frowned slightly, a thought conveyed in his mind. After a while, the door was knocked open, and Yang Meiren pushed the door open and entered.

Yang Meiren looked at Lu An standing under the moonlight. She didn't expect Lu An to call her over so late. Lu An had rarely done this before. She knew that Lu An was an upright person and did this to avoid suspicion. So now, she

I was also a little curious as to why Lu An called her.

After closing the door, Yang Meiren came respectfully behind Lu An and asked, "Master, what's the matter?"

"It's the next thing." Lu An looked at Yang Meiren with a serious expression and said softly, "I want to discuss with you where we should go next."
