The Bad Man was nearly dead at the beginning and was picked up by Yang Shuzi and taken home

"By the way, now that the matter in Tubo is over, where are the two corpse ancestors and the cave masters going?"

After a long time, when everyone had finished talking about Tubo, Anton Jun just remembered that he had a few helpers, so he asked about it at this time.

"Oh, the cave masters are staying in Tubo for the time being. As for Yinggou Corpse Ancestor, he went to look for Jiangchen Corpse Ancestor, while Hanba Corpse Ancestor returned to Qi with us. He is now in the inn in Fengxiang, but he doesn't seem to dare to come out..."

"Oh, I understand. It's okay. I'll go find him."

Anton thinks it is normal. Hanba is probably afraid of meeting strangers or is afraid of scaring people and thus feels inferior. After all, in the original work, he has a girlish heart under his macho appearance.

As for Ying Gou, she most likely wanted to find Jiang Chen to study her physical condition, but now was not the time for her to take action, so it didn't matter if she left.

"So when is Big Brother going to leave this time?"

Seeing that almost everything had been discussed, An Dongjun also asked Li Maozhen.

After all, the Prince of Guang represented by Li Maozhen did not come to the Central Plains for fun this time. He was ostensibly here for business, so he could not stay here for too long.

"Well... tomorrow, this time we will split into two groups to go to the various countries to trade. I also have to go to Liang, Jin and Yan. I have to finish as soon as possible and rush back. After all, there is still malaria waiting to be dealt with there."

"Okay, then I will also set off tomorrow and go back to Jianlu.

Wife, I will have to trouble you for a while with Qiguo's affairs, wait for me to come back."

Li Zhaozhao held Anton Jun's hand and said nothing, but her affectionate eyes proved everything.

Seeing them like this, Li Maozhen felt like she was about to be suffocated by the sour smell of love, and quickly said, "I can't stand you anymore. It's not a life-and-death separation. It's just a few days away. Is it that serious?"

Anton Jun was merciless and retorted: "Why? If you want to be envious, go find one yourself now. Don't you see how grown up you are?"

Anton didn't know what consequences his words would bring in the future.

"Definitely..."

Upon hearing this, Li Maozhen did not stay there any longer and just left, still complaining about something before leaving.

next morning

Li Maozhen set off with Nian Ling, and An Dongjun first went to find Hanba, borrowed something from him, asked him to send a letter, and then asked him to bury some gunpowder five, ten, and fifteen miles southeast of Fengxiang outside the city.

As for finding a wife, he told Hanba not to be anxious and lied to him that Princess Shangrao was not yet ready to get married and that he would naturally take Hanba to find one when the time came.

Outside the South Gate of Fengxiang

"Tong'er, I'm going home this time. You and Zhao Zhao should stay here and wait for me to come back."

Anton Jun gently kneaded Miao Luantong's soft hands as he said goodbye. As for the empress, she was still in Prince Qi's mansion, dealing with the affairs of the spies from the two countries.

Since Qi State had many affairs to attend to, Anton-kun did not ask her to come and see him off again. However, he now had a new idea and decided to visit both countries and have a chat.

Miaoluan Tong's current makeup is mostly the same as before, except that she has an extra lily-shaped flower ornament between her eyebrows, which was drawn by Anton Jun for her.

Due to social environment and cultural reasons in this era, men would never help women paint their hairpins, so Anton Jun's action really moved Miao Luantong.

Then she tied her hair into a lily bun and put on a wooden hairpin that Anton Jun had made for her not long ago. The end of the hairpin was inlaid with a small piece of exquisitely carved pink jade. It was obvious that she had grown from a girl into a young woman.

"Well, Anlang, I will also help my sister, so you don't have to worry."

As time went by, Li Zhaozhao also accepted this title frankly, but the rules stated that he could only say this in private, but he still had to show it and pretend to do so in front of outsiders.

After all, the relationship between the Empress and Anton-kun has not been announced yet.

A quarter of an hour later, Anton Jun also left. Before leaving, he looked back at the place that fascinated him, thinking that when he comes back next time, he should bring his master to live with him, and let him meet his disciple's wife.

five days later

There is a small pond under the Jianlu. The surface of the pond is like a mirror. Looking down from below, the water is clear and you can see the uneven stones in the water, some fish swimming in the shallows, and water plants.

Lu Linxuan was sitting on the Jianlu Bamboo Bridge, wearing dark purple shorts. Her feet were swinging back and forth, splashing water. The strange thing was that the fishes ignored her behavior.

At this time, she had just reached the age of 15, with a beautiful face and fair complexion, lavender eyeshadow, plum makeup on her forehead, purple earrings, and a purple headband to tie up half of her hair.

Standing next to him was a handsome, heroic young man wearing red clothes and a necklace around his neck. He was Li Xingyun.

"Brother, where did our senior brother go? He said he would come back to see us, but in three years he only sent a few letters. Could something have happened to him?"

Listening to Lu Linxuan's words, Li Xingyun said in a servile manner:

"Brother may be immersed in this gentle land. When I, Old Li, go down the mountain, I will be like him, hehehe..."

But having said that, the look in his eyes was not as relaxed as he appeared. It was obvious that he was also worried about the safety of his senior brother, but he knew that he could not show it like his junior sister.

It was rare for Lu Linxuan to not play around with Li Xingyun. After so long, she could see that Li Xingyun was saying one thing and thinking another. She also saw that Li Xingyun wanted to use this to avoid being so depressed, but it was not that easy.

Not to mention himself and his senior brother, even the master had sighed alone at night several times, but they just didn't say it in their hearts.

Just when Li Xingyun was still trying to find a way to make Lu Linxuan happy, a breeze blew across his face, and the next moment, Anton Jun's figure appeared at the door of Jianlu.

The two of them hadn't noticed anything yet, so Anton-Jun had no choice but to knock on the bamboo door and said softly:

"You two, I don't remember Jianlu having the habit of leaving people outside the door."

Although his appearance had changed, the aura he exuded and the tone of his voice made them recognize him at a glance. The person in front of them was none other than their senior brother whom they had not seen for three years.

The two looked at the man in front of them with disbelief, wiped their eyes, and still felt a little bit unbelievable. Lu Linxuan pinched the flesh on Li Xingyun's waist, but she found that Li Xingyun did not react, so she increased the force a little more.

Two breaths later, he felt as if the fingers were about to pinch into his flesh. The corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously, and his facial expression instantly twisted. Li Xingyun, who had reacted, screamed:

"Junior sister! It hurts! It hurts! Let go!"

Lu Linxuan also realized that this was not a dream, so he slowly loosened his hand, then quickly ran over and said excitedly: "Big Brother! You are finally back!"

An Dongjun caught Lu Linxuan who was running over, turned him around, and smiled, "Long time no see, Linxuan, you have grown up and become more beautiful."

Lu Linxuan was still the same as before, she liked to throw herself on his side and would still blush when he teased her.

An Dongjun let go of the excited Lu Linxuan and turned to Li Xingyun and said:

"Long time no see, Xingyun, but it's not a good thing to say bad things about others behind their backs."

Li Xingyun, who was standing aside with a painful expression, slowly straightened up, took a few deep breaths, calmed his expression, then walked over with a smile and said with a guilty conscience:

"Brother! Where have you been? You haven't come back for such a long time. Could it be that what I said was right?"

Anton tapped Li Xingyun on the forehead and jokingly said, "Is there anyone who talks about Senior Brother like you?"

"Hey Hey……"

Li Xingyun covered his head, feeling this familiar feeling without any dissatisfaction.

"Is the master at home? I will talk to you later."

"Yes, yes, big brother, now that you are back, the master will definitely be very happy for a long time."

Lu Linxuan couldn't wait to pull Anton Jun and Li Xingyun's hands and walk towards the main hall of Jianlu.
