"It's fine, it's fine. Ziyi, it's fine as long as you can bring your mother back safely.”
Su Yan asked with a smile.
"My mother is currently resting at the relay station.”
Taishi Ci said.
"How about this, Ziyi, go and fetch your mother. I have a house in the west of the city. Although it's not big, it's quiet.”
Su Yan muttered.
"My lord, this can't be done."
Taishi Ci hurriedly shook his head.
"It's fine. Ziyi, you are my trusted general. It's settled. Go and pick up your mother.”
Seeing that Taishi Ci still wanted to persuade him, Su Yan waved his hand and said firmly.
Taishi Ci had no choice but to agree, but he was very touched.
Su Yan valued him so much and was very considerate of him and his mother. He could not repay such thoughts.
All he could do was entrust his life to Su Yan and serve him for the rest of his life.
Even if he had to climb a mountain of knives or go through a sea of fire, he would not hesitate!
Soon, Taishi Ci brought his mother and Su Yan to a small courtyard in the west of the city.
This small courtyard was not big, but it was enough for a family of four or five people to live in.
Moreover, this place was located near the bustling city. It was quiet and peaceful.
"Come, Ziyi, this is the one. Bring your mother in. I've arranged everything inside for you.”
Su Yan pointed at the small courtyard and said.
"Thank you, my lord!"
Taishi Ci was also very satisfied with this small courtyard. He hurriedly bowed and thanked him.
Su Yan waved his hand and said," Alright, you can go back to your work. I'll go back first. I'm tired from the journey. We'll talk again tomorrow when you come."”
"Here!"
Taishi Ci's expression turned solemn as he watched Su Yan leave.
The next day, Taishi Ci came to the county office, and Su Yan invited Du Ji and the others back.
"Tomorrow, I will be heading to Ji County. This time, it will take at least ten days to half a month before I can return.”
Su Yan looked at them and said.
"Please rest assured, my lord!"
The few of them bowed.
"My lord is leaving Zhuo County?" Taishi Ci asked in surprise.”
Du Ji smiled." General Taishi hasn't been here for the past few months. I'm afraid there are some things that you don't know. I'll tell you on behalf of the lord."”
Then, he told Taishi Ci everything that had happened in the past few months.
Taishi Ci could not help but sigh after hearing this. He did not expect Su Yan's identity to be the Eldest Young Master of the other side.
Furthermore, Su Yan had even acknowledged the great scholar Lu Zhi as his master, so his background had suddenly become very extraordinary.
This was all thanks to Su Yan's formidable methods. He was actually able to win Lu Zhi's praise and successfully become his disciple.
"According to what the county magistrate said, the lord's trip to Ji County is fraught with danger, so the lord should have brought some guards to ensure his safety."”
Su Yan smiled and said," Ziyi is right. I've already secretly ordered the broken army camp to set off first and hide near Ji County. Once there's danger in the city, they will immediately receive me."”
However, Taishi Ci still shook his head.
"Other than the protection of the Army Destroying Camp, my lord should also bring a few guards and a general with him to ensure that nothing goes wrong.”
He looked at Su Yan and said solemnly.
Since he had already acknowledged Su Yan as his master, Taishi Ci placed great importance on Su Yan's safety, even more so than his own.
Su Yan said," Yes, this is my negligence. Since that's the case, Dian Wei, pick a few martial arts experts with good eyesight from the army and follow me."”
"Here!"
Dian Wei said seriously.
"As for the generals…"
Su Yan thought for a moment and said,"Then let Zilong come with me and act as my personal bodyguard."”
"Here!"
Zhao Yun's face lit up as she stood out and spoke in a deep voice.
Su Yan had chosen him to follow and protect him during this trip. He was very happy that Su Yan valued him.
"When I'm not around, Ziyi, you have to take over the training of the infantry on White Bear Ridge. Then, you have to step up the training. Dian Wei is the same.”
Su Yan warned.
"We understand!"
The two nodded.
Su Yan looked at Du Ji." I'll leave the county government to you."”
"Here!"
Du Ji nodded.
"Alright, you can all leave. I still have to pay a visit to Teacher.”
After Su Yan finished speaking, the few of them immediately left. He went to the Lu family to bid farewell to Lu Zhi.
Lu Zhi reminded him and then let him leave.
The next morning, the sun had just risen.
A carriage departed from Zhuo County and headed towards Ji County.
Su Yan and Zou Yu were sitting in the carriage.
Zhao Yun and six other soldiers were guarding the outside.
These six people were all generals in the army. Their martial arts skills were quite extraordinary and they could even read and write. They could be considered some generals.
Including Zhao Yun, there were a total of seven people. Seven horses guarded the carriage as it headed towards Ji County.
In the carriage, Zou Yu leaned into Su Yan's embrace. Feeling the masculine aura on Su Yan's body, her pretty face blushed slightly.
"Brother Su, do you think Uncle Su will agree to our marriage?”
Zou Yu asked softly.
"Don't worry, I will."
Su Yan laughed.
Although the Zous weren't very powerful in politics, they were one of the top merchants in Youzhou. For the sake of money, Su Ping would agree to the marriage.
Su Yan was not as likable as Su Ze, so he did not care much about his matters. As long as the girl's family was more or less worthy, he would agree.
"Then, will Uncle Su not agree to me being your wife?”Zou Yu asked worriedly.
This worry was not without reason, because the Zou family was a merchant family, and the scholars, farmers, merchants, and businessmen were ranked at the bottom.
Scholars looked down on businessmen. Even if Su Ping agreed to the marriage, he might still make Zou Yu his concubine instead of his wife.
"Don't worry. If Father doesn't agree, I'll persuade him. If it really doesn't work out, we'll just ignore him. Anyway, you'll definitely be my wife.”
Su Yan comforted her.
Zou Yu was a little touched after hearing this. Su Yan dared to disregard his parents 'orders for her, which showed his feelings for her.
When she thought of this, she tightened her embrace around Su Yan and leaned against him.
Su Yan gently hugged her, his heart slowly throbbing.
Regardless of whether it was in his previous life or this life, his body was still in its prime, so his body's reaction was naturally very strong.
He secretly circulated the Xiantian Art in his body and slowly calmed down.
The peaceful nature of the Xiantian True Qi was able to calm down all the restlessness. Very soon, Su Yan's flame was extinguished.
In order to respect Zou Yu and leave her a beautiful memory, Su Yan and her had always maintained their rationality. They did not cross the last line of defense and slowly waited for the official day to arrive.
The group traveled very quickly. When they arrived at the border of Ji County, they passed by an official road at the foot of a mountain.
Ten burly men suddenly charged out of the forest.
