Before the house is confiscated, the enemy's warehouse is emptied and exiled

The next morning, as the dawn broke, everyone woke up, packed their luggage and got ready to go.

However, just as everyone was busy, they all noticed something strange - the atmosphere between the master and Madam Shen seemed a little subtle today.

According to past practice, Madam Shen should have ridden on the same horse with her master, but at this moment, she silently led a horse over by herself, apparently intending to go forward alone.

The master standing behind her was looking at her, looking a little at a loss.

Sometimes he took a step forward as if he wanted to say something; sometimes he hesitated and took a few steps back, looking like he was in a dilemma.

When everyone saw this scene, they couldn't help but exchange glances with each other, their hearts full of confusion.

At this time, the straightforward Hei Mu gently nudged Cang Yu beside him with his elbow, and winked at him, signaling him to smooth things over.

Cangyu scratched his head at first, looking embarrassed, but finally he gritted his teeth and walked quickly to Shen Qingge.

Cangyu smiled broadly, carefully took the reins from Shen Qingge, and said softly:

"Um... Madam Shen, I'm so sorry.

You see, we have a limited number of horses for this trip, and the journey ahead is very long.

How about this, you and your master ride on the same horse for the time being, and we can make other arrangements after we get to the market, is that okay with you?"

After saying that, Cangyu turned his head and looked at his master expectantly.

Seeing this, Xiao Heng, who had been silent all the time, opened his mouth, as if he wanted to agree with Cangyu, but for some reason, the words on the tip of his tongue were swallowed back, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

Seeing this, Cang Yu knew what was going on and quickly tried to smooth things over with a smile:

"Master, don't you agree? The current situation is special, and I can only inconvenience Madam Shen!"

"Ah...yes! Time is running out, Miss Shen, we'd better leave early!"

As Xiao Heng spoke, a slightly stiff smile appeared on his face.

Seeing him so embarrassed, Shen Qingge almost sneered out loud.

She has always been reasonable. Seeing that the usually arrogant King of Lingnan could actually lower himself and condescend to her, her anger caused by yesterday's events immediately dissipated.

She was as light as a swallow and jumped onto the horse's back. Then she gracefully extended a hand towards Xiao Heng and made an inviting gesture.

Seeing this, Cang Yu hurried forward and helped Xiao Heng onto the horse. This slightly awkward episode finally came to an end.

However, at this moment, Xiao Heng's heart was far from as calm as he appeared on the surface.

He really wanted to ask Shen Qingge clearly and find out what she was thinking.

But unfortunately, he really couldn't find a suitable reason or position to ask.

On the one hand, he longed to pursue this relationship bravely; on the other hand, he was worried that his behavior would annoy Shen Qingge.

However, whenever he thought of the hardships and dangers they had experienced together, fighting side by side with her, he could not believe that this extraordinary woman who was as brave as any man would have no feelings for him at all.

So, with such a complicated mood, Xiao Heng reluctantly sat on the horse.

He was so nervous that beads of sweat appeared on his palms.

Despite this, there was a voice deep in Xiao Heng's heart that kept urging him:

I can't be so hesitant and stand still any longer! Since I have fallen in love with the woman in front of me, I should take the first step decisively. Even if the final outcome is not satisfactory, at least I have tried my best.

After all, when it comes to relationships, men should be more proactive.

Thinking of this, Xiao Heng secretly clenched his fists, took a long breath, and notified the team to move forward.

With excitement and anticipation, everyone finally set out on the journey home again.

They moved forward along the winding road, heading straight for Panyu City.

The sound of horse hooves echoed through the quiet forest path, like a passionate melody. Every time a horse's hoof hit the ground, it would raise a cloud of dust, which spread like a yellow smoke in the air.

Perhaps because we were far away from that strange foggy forest, the return journey was particularly smooth. We encountered almost no difficulties or obstacles along the way.

Along the way, they would occasionally choose to stop and rest for a while, but most of the time, they kept going without stopping.

As they got closer to Nanhai County, more and more villages appeared around them, and Xiao Heng would order everyone to purchase some items and food before setting off.

At the same time, Cangyu specially sent capable personnel to inform Zhang Jun of the detailed itinerary in advance, so that arrangements could be made to welcome their master when he arrived in Panyu City.

In this way, after more than ten days and nights of hard work, the team finally arrived at the gate of Panyu City.

From a distance, you can see the city gates wide open.

Two rows of officials stood in neat rows, their expressions solemn and their eyes eager, eagerly awaiting everyone's return.

When everyone approached, Cang Yu, the leader, suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "Welcome the Lord back to the city! Welcome!"

They are finally back!
