King Dongshan was about to refute anxiously, but Weidong continued:

"I have already arranged everything in Kyoto. The shops are all managed by new managers, so you don't have to worry about anything. A new head of the manor has also been found to manage it, and the palace will continue to be built.

If you have any problems, just wait for me to come back and solve them. I will be back in a month at most, or at least 20 days."

King Dongshan's eyes turned red, and he said stubbornly: "I won't let you leave!"

Wei Dong patted his shoulder and comforted him, "How can that be! I have to work!" He didn't want to be separated from Xie Jiu, but Xie Jiu was a prince now and could no longer take him on adventures.

King Dongshan wanted to say: Don’t go out and run around anymore, I will support you!

However, his own poor palace had to rely on credit to survive, so how could he have the face to talk about supporting Weidong.

It is obvious that Weidong is supporting him now!

He lowered his head and said aggrievedly: "It's all my fault that I'm too poor. If I had a lot of money, you wouldn't have to go out and work so hard."

Wei Dong smiled and said, "Don't be childish. Whether you have money or not has nothing to do with my work."

King Dongshan: "If I had money, I would support you."

Wei Dong laughed softly: "Okay, when I get old and can't walk the caravan anymore, I will come to your palace to retire. Don't look down on me then."

King Dongshan was not happy with Weidong's joking attitude, as he was clearly serious.

Wei Dong saw Xie Jiu's gloomy face, he sighed and said:

"Xie Jiu, I cherish what I am doing now because it makes me happy, allows me to grow continuously, and allows me to make money, a lot of money.

When I come back this time, I will go to your palace in Kyoto to find you, okay?"

King Dongshan didn't quite believe it, because the route Weidong took was not at all convenient for going to Kyoto.

Is it possible that Weidong would travel more than 300 miles just to see him?

King Dongshan confirmed: "Will you really come to see me?" You are not lying to him.

Wei Dong promised: "Really, I will see if your palace is beautiful when the time comes!"

King Dongshan was reluctant to let go and repeatedly emphasized that he had to meet Weidong in Kyoto next month.

He really didn't want to let Weidong go, but he also knew that Weidong had his own ideals and his caravan was his pride, so it was impossible for him to give up the caravan.

However, Weidong hasn't left yet and he has already started to miss him. What should he do?

At night, King Dongshan stayed on Weidong's bed and refused to leave or sleep, just staring at Weidong.

Wei Dong lost his temper when he was looked at by him, so he had to lie down side by side with him and talk.

Weidong fell asleep at some point. King Dongshan hugged him gently, holding him in his arms. Smelling the scent of Weidong, he really wanted to rub Weidong into his bones.

This way they won't have to separate no matter where they go.

No matter how reluctant he was, daybreak finally came.

Weidong got up very early, and Ye Qingfeng came with a horse to pick him up and set off.

King Dongshan stood by the road and watched. Even after they had lost sight of their team's backs, he still couldn't bear to go back.

Mu Feng: Oh! His master is so pitiful.

He was just about to persuade the prince to go back when a team of fast horses came running towards them in the distance.

King Dongshan excitedly covered his eyebrows with his hands and looked into the distance. Is it because Weidong is back, and he can't let me go either?

After a while, the group of people came closer, and they looked like officials from the imperial court?

King Dongshan immediately lost interest and didn't want to pay any attention.

Seeing that his master was throwing a tantrum, Mu Feng had no choice but to take the initiative to speak.

Lord Lu was riding on his horse when he saw someone on the side of the road and was about to send someone to ask for directions.

Then someone shouted, "Where are you from? The King of Dongshan is here. The person in charge, come over and talk."

When Lord Lu heard that King Dongshan was here, he immediately took the lead to dismount. He handed the reins to his men and hurried to find King Dongshan to pay his respects.

King Dongshan felt that the man looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was.

After greeting respectfully, Lord Lu introduced himself tactfully, because he had never interacted with King Dongshan in the past, but his son often went to see King Dongshan.

It seems that he also assisted Prince Dongshan in finding out many crimes of several other princes, and played a role in fueling the flames when the emperor convicted them.

I knew about it at the time but pretended not to know and did not get involved in their affairs.

He did not stop his son from doing this because he saw that both King Dongshan and his son were victims and they were on the same side.

They all want justice for themselves and the people around them who died.

It seems that Prince Dongshan is increasingly valued by the Emperor, and his son has unexpectedly found a good supporter.

He also benefited from this, otherwise, this task would not have fallen on him.

Then he would introduce it from someone King Dongshan is familiar with.

"I am Lu Zhiang's father. Following the Emperor's orders, I have come to Panlong Mountain to supervise the private army that has been incorporated. These are the details of the military orders I received from the Ministry of War."

King Dongshan just glanced at Lord Lu. He had known for a long time that his royal brother was going to send someone to take over the construction team recruited by Panlong Mountain.

But I didn’t expect that the person who came was Lu Zhiang’s father.

After all, he was an acquaintance of his son, so King Dongshan did not embarrass him and gave him a reminder:

"That's perfect. I'll leave all matters related to recruiting the private army to you, so I can go back."

Lord Lu was surprised: "Your Highness, where are you going? The Emperor said that you and I should take care of this matter together!" How come the prince wanted to leave just when he arrived?

King Dongshan said angrily: "It's just a small matter, do I need to keep an eye on it all the time? You are here just to take my place!

You will be in charge for a month, and I will come to check on it every now and then."

If he doesn't go back to Kyoto, what if Weidong comes back and can't find him?

Lord Lu: "No, Your Majesty, this is not good..."

King Dongshan: "Why not? We have General Xiao and General Fan here to help you look after us. What are you afraid of? Nothing bad will happen."

Lord Lu thought: I'd better write a letter to the emperor as soon as possible, the prince seems to be giving up.

But he said respectfully: "I will follow your Majesty's arrangements."

King Dongshan thought for a while and said, "If you find it troublesome, you can ask your son to take you back when you miss home!" They were all acquaintances, so he had no objection anyway.

Look how thoughtful he is.

Lord Lu is not very grateful, so how dare he despise it?

He must be tired of living.

After King Dongshan returned to his residence, he sorted out the registration books of his private army prisoners into several large boxes and sent them all to Lord Lu.

Lord Lu was taken directly to the official residence at the foot of the mountain.

Wow! So impressive!

But it’s not appropriate for him to live here!

The prince doesn't live here.

Before he could figure out how to arrange things, King Dongshan had already sent him the registration books.

Lord Lu: Why do I feel like the prince seems to be very eager to pass these things to me?
