Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

Because Mu Lingxuan and others are leaving tomorrow, everyone was present in the evening, including Liu Dashan and his wife and Liu Changshun's family.

Everyone was eating and chatting happily, but no one brought up the topic of leaving.

It was not until after dinner that Liu Donglai called Liu Changshun to Liu Xu's study and stayed there for half an hour. It was unknown what they talked about.

After that, Liu Dashan pulled him aside and muttered to him for a while. After finally seeing the two elders off, he said that Xu Hean and his son had invited him.

When Liu Donglai went to deliver something to Mancang, it was already 11am. Fortunately, the two families were not far away.

When he arrived, the lights were still on in the house. Hearing the sound of the gate being pushed open, Liu Mancang came out.

Seeing that it was Liu Donglai, he was a little surprised, "Brother, why are you here?"

When there were no outsiders around, he would call Liu Donglai "brother". Liu Donglai threw the bag to him and walked straight into the house, "I'll bring you some things, your sister-in-law and niece prepared them for you."

Liu Gensheng was also in the room, probably giving instructions to his son.

"Uncle San, you haven't slept yet!"

"Donglai, come and sit down." Liu Gensheng greeted him, then looked at the bundle in his son's hand and asked, "What is this?"

"My wife and daughter are grateful to Mancang for saving my life. The woman doesn't know what to say, but she prepared some food and clothes for Mancang."

"This... How can this be so embarrassing! Isn't it normal for you brothers to help each other? Besides, Mancang said that it was you who was protecting him and the boys in our village!" Liu Gensheng said with a threatening face:

"Take it back quickly. Aren't you guys here to fight against us? I'll ask him to buy two sets of clothes from the store tomorrow when he gets to town."

"No, Third Uncle, please forgive me. If I take it back later, my wife and daughter will scold me." Liu Donglai begged for mercy.

Seeing that Liu Gensheng wanted to say something, Liu Donglai hurriedly stood up and said goodbye, "Don't say anything, Third Uncle. We will leave again tomorrow. You leave now. My wife will have to give Mancang to me tomorrow. It will be bad for everyone then! I will go back first. You two should rest early instead of talking too much!"

After saying that, he stood up and left. Liu Mancang followed him out, "Brother, thank sister-in-law and Xu girl for me!"

Liu Donglai patted him on the shoulder and left.

The next day, everyone in Liujia Village got up early to see off those who were leaving.

Ye Miaoyin told Liu Xu yesterday that she could see him off today and then practice martial arts.

However, Liu Xu did not get up late. She took the servants to carry out the things that had been distributed yesterday and distributed them to the uncles and brothers who had left.

Outside the Liu family compound, the carriage was ready to go.

Everyone took the oil paper packages sent by the Liu family and was very grateful. Not everyone blocked the gate of the Liu family compound. Those who were farther away stood at their own gates with lanterns or torches and watched.

Nearing noon, Mu Lingxuan and three others mounted their horses, each carrying a package on their backs, and said goodbye to the Liu family. Liu Changshun, his wife and children, stood together with Liu Xu and others.

"My husband, Huaijin, Mancang, Xuanyi, have a safe journey!"

"Dad, remember to write a letter to us and ask Brother Huaijin to bring it back next time." Liu Xu stood beside her mother with slightly red eyes.

Mu Lingxuan: Do I look like a messenger?

Xuanyi: It’s better for me to lead the way than for the master to lead the way…

"Dongla, take care of yourself!"

"Uncle, take care!"

"Second brother, come back safely soon!"

On both sides of the road, other villagers were also saying goodbye, some were their families, some were neighbors. At first, a small part of Liujia Village used money to replace the service, five taels of silver for each person, otherwise how could there be only more than twenty people.

Even the poor family of Guisheng's grandfather had to try their best to scrape together five taels of silver, so the villagers looked down on Old Lady Zhang forcing Liu Donglai to serve in the army.

Mu Lingxuan and a few others sat on horseback, bowed to everyone, then turned around and rode to the front of the team.

At the door of the old house, Liu Dashan and his wife were standing outside, and old lady Zhang was holding a small cloth bag. Seeing their son riding over, the old couple took a few steps forward.

"Dad, Mom, my son is leaving. Take care." Liu Donglai stopped and bowed.

"Old man, second brother, take it!" Old lady Zhang stuffed the cloth bag onto the horse's back and retreated.

Seeing Liu Donglai's doubts, Liu Dashan glanced at his old wife, sighed and said, "Take it, these are the shoes your mother made for you! Remember what your father said, take care!"

Liu Donglai picked up the cloth bag, put it into his bag, and nodded to the old couple.

As soon as the hour of dawn arrived, with Mu Lingxuan's shout of "Let's go", the carriage slowly moved, and the people who were seeing them off followed suit.

The convoy left the village and began to speed up.

The people of Liujia Village gathered at the entrance of the village until the convoy disappeared at the end of the road. Many people had tears in their eyes. They didn't know when they would return.

However, this mood did not last long. The village chief called out and everyone went back. The people from Zuiyunxuan would come to harvest the mushrooms soon.

Liu Xu's family did not go to the village entrance to see them off. They just watched the convoy leave the village and then went back.

Everything that could be prepared and should be prepared was brought to them.

Ever since Liu Xu knew that Doctor Meng could make pills, she begged him for mercy and finally not only took the medicine for her father's body to nourish his body, but also pestered Doctor Meng to make pills for treating colds and some top-quality healing medicine.

Now, in their eyes, today's separation is only for a better reunion in the future.

On the other side, Mu Lingxuan and others met up with another team twenty miles outside Yuyang Town.

It turned out that Mu Lingxuan only brought Liu Donglai and his group, but in fact, a thousand-household battalion followed him both times. It was just that the others entered Yongshun Prefecture in a scattered manner.

"Major General, Captain, and other convoys have left since yesterday. This is the last one." A man dressed like a merchant's steward stepped forward and saluted.

"Captain Liu, let everyone return to the team!"

"Yes!" Liu Mancang made a gesture, and the carriage and the single rider quickly merged with another caravan.

"Let's go!" The convoy set off again, but this time there were more than twenty carriages, and they went north along the official road in a mighty manner.

It turned out that time was a little tight last time. Even though Chang Yifei tried his best to find a solution, the food he bought was barely enough for the soldiers to eat for two months.

Therefore, before leaving, he asked Chang Yifei to continue buying food. Together with what they shipped back this time, it would be enough for them to last until the beginning of next spring.

However, the northern border is a bit barren. If we continue to station troops here, we will never be able to rely on the military households in the north to supply us with food.

But the imperial edict to return to the capital had not yet arrived, so they could only wait, hoping to get news when they returned this time.

However, forget about the group of people from Liujia Village. His father probably won't let them go.
