The ninth son of the emperor was demoted at the beginning. I have a famous Chinese general.

Jinji Fort was one of the three forts in the southwest of Hulan, and its main responsibility was to monitor the Arabs.

The situation at Jinji Fort was similar to that at Wuyang Fort. The fort was also guarded by three veterans and their families, a total of more than a dozen people.

Like several other docks, Ning Quan made arrangements immediately after arriving.

After discussion, one of the three veterans was willing to return to Hulun, but the remaining two refused to leave.

Ning Quan certainly had no objection to this. Although the veterans were old, they were experienced and familiar with everything on the grassland.

With their assistance, Ning Quan will feel more at ease.

Rested in Jinjibao for one night,

The next day, Ning Quan spent half a day inspecting the remaining two forts, Baili Fort and Qingyuan Fort.

After making proper arrangements for the two docks, they returned directly to Hulun.

After speeding all the way, Ning Quan returned to Hulun in the evening.

"Husband, you're back."

As soon as he stepped into the government office, Li Wanyue came to greet him.

"Well, I'm back."

Ning Quan smiled and nodded, then put his arms around Li Wanyue's soft waist and said.

"Is everything going well?"

Li Wanyue leaned gently in Ning Quan's arms and asked softly.

"very smooth."

"How have you been these past two days?"

Ning Quan asked with a smile.

"It's okay, I'm fine, I'm just too bored."

Li Wanyue whispered.

"Boring?"

"Then I'll take you out of town tomorrow and let's go horseback riding."

"Okay."

Li Wanyue said happily.

"Well, that's settled then. Go and rest. I still have some things to do."

Ning Quan let go of his hand and said with a smile.

"Well, you go ahead and do your work."

Li Wanyue nodded obediently in agreement.

"Someone, let Manager Li come in."

After Li Wanyue left, Ning Quan gave instructions.

As soon as Ning Quan came back, he saw Manager Li waiting outside the county government office.

I knew he was about to return and came to say goodbye to me.

"I have met His Highness."

Shopkeeper Li entered the lobby and bowed.

"Excuse me, are you ready to leave?"

Ning Quan asked directly.

"Yes, Your Highness, after four or five days of rest, it is time to return."

Shopkeeper Li said.

"Okay, in that case, then you can go back."

"I have a few letters here. Please take them back to me."

Ning Quan said this and handed several letters that he had prepared long ago to Shopkeeper Li.

There were four letters in total, two were addressed to Li Junchen, one was addressed to Li Changan, and the other was addressed to the housekeeper who stayed in the palace in the capital.

"Your Highness, rest assured, the letter will be delivered safely."

Shopkeeper Li took the letter and quickly made the assurance.

"Well, I have one more thing for you to do." Ning Quan continued.

"Your Highness, please give me your instructions."

"I would like to establish a long-term cooperation with your carriage company. Please help me transport food and supplies to Hulan in the future."

Ning Quan said slowly.

"Your Highness, no problem. This is what we at Yuntong Trucking do."

Shopkeeper Li agreed without hesitation.

"Well, that's great. Here's a detailed list of the food and supplies needed."

"Just purchase the quantity specified above and ship it to Hulan for me."

"The price is negotiable. I'll take your price."

Ning Quan took out a shopping list and handed it to Manager Li.

"Your Highness, so many supplies?"

Shopkeeper Li took the list and said in surprise.

"Well, that's all."

"As the saying goes, it's better to be prepared than to be caught off guard. How about this? Can you do it?"

Ning Quan nodded.

"Of course we can, but the shipping capacity may not be enough. We can only ship it to Your Highness in batches."

Shopkeeper Li replied.

"No problem, this is a year's supply, just ship it in batches."

"Yes, I understand."

"I wonder if Your Highness has any other instructions?"

Shopkeeper Li bowed.

"No more. Remember to bring the Li family members here first after you return."

Ning Quan said.

"Yes, little one understands."

Shopkeeper Li bowed again and then turned and left.

"General Li, I suddenly have an idea."

After watching Manager Li leave, Ning Quan pondered for a moment and said to Li Jing beside him.

"Your Highness, please explain clearly."

Li Jing cupped his fists and said.

"I believe that the soldiers in the fort should be rotated regularly. What do you think?"

"Not only the soldiers in the dock, but other soldiers should also be taken out for training regularly."

"Only in this way can the soldiers quickly familiarize themselves with the grassland environment and effectively fight against the Xiongnu."

Ning Quan said slowly.

"Your Highness has given it careful consideration. I understand."

"I will take care of this matter, Your Highness, don't worry."

Li Jing apologized.

"Well, I'll leave this matter to you."

Ning Quan smiled faintly and nodded.

.........

The next day, early in the morning.

Ning Quan personally saw Manager Li and the convoy off, and then took Li Wanyue out of the city for a trip.

It is June now and the temperature is gradually rising, which is a good time for an outing.

The sky is blue, with white clouds, and the air is very fresh and comfortable.

On the grassland, the fragrance of green grass is intoxicating.

Various wild fruits and flowers are competing with each other in beauty, which looks very beautiful.

Ning Quan and Li Wanyue rode their horses, enjoying the scenery along the way, and were in a very happy mood.

Especially Li Wanyue, she was extremely happy.

Seeing Wan Yue happy, Ning Quan also smiled.

"Your Highness, now that we have arrived in Hulan and settled down."

"Isn't it time for you and your wife to consider getting married?"

Zhuge Liang on the side suddenly said.

"Uh, this..."

Hearing this, Ning Quan was stunned.

Li Wanyue's cheeks were slightly red, and she looked shy, not daring to look directly at Ning Quan.

"Well, it should be done."

"Wanyue, what do you think?"

Ning Quan looked at the shy Wanyue and said with a smile.

"I...I'll listen to you."

Li Wanyue bit her lips lightly and whispered.

"Hahaha."

"Well, then let's pick an auspicious day and do it as soon as possible."

Ning Quan laughed out loud.

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Your Highness, rest assured, I will definitely see to it."

Zhuge Liang smiled and nodded.

"Ah."

Ning Quan nodded, then he and Wanyue dismounted and strolled on the grassland.

"Wanyue, thank you for your hard work following me."

As they walked, Ning Quan suddenly said.

"No...it's not hard."

"As long as she follows her husband, Wanyue is willing."

Wanyue blushed and whispered.

"Well, don't worry, I will never let you down."

Ning Quan reached out and stroked Wanyue's hair, speaking softly.

"Yes, I believe in you, Your Highness."

Li Wanyue lowered her head and said shyly.

"Okay, let's go."

Ning Quan held Li Wanyue's hand and walked forward.

The sun was shining, the grass was green, and everything seemed very pleasant and beautiful.

"Your Highness, look, there's a hare over there."

Li Wanyue suddenly pointed to the distance and said in surprise.

"Oh?"

Ning Quan looked in the direction of her finger and saw a group of wild rabbits foraging in the distance.

"Wanyue, do you want some wild rabbits?"

"If you want it, I'll have someone capture it for you."

Ning Quan asked with a smile.

"Uh-huh."

Hearing this, Li Wanyue nodded repeatedly.
