During the hours of anxiously waiting for dark to meet his relatives, Zhou Wei had already told Jing Changjiang about the general situation along the way. He naturally knew what had happened in the capital, and also knew about the hardships they had experienced along the way and the dangers and poisons they had encountered.

He knew that his niece had done a lot for the family and had suffered a lot, and even almost died in a den of thieves.

"Sister Xi, it's okay. You finally see your uncle again. Mother missed you too." Jing Chunxi looked at her uncle who looked the least like her mother. With his square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, he looked like a wild beast now, but she felt very close to him.

What I am most thankful for is that my uncle is fine and he escaped. His situation is completely different from his previous life.

After a round of greetings, Jing Yongcheng sent all the women back to bed, but made room for his son next to him, wanting him to rest.

"No need, Dad. I've slept enough these two days waiting for you, and I can't stay here too long. I just want to see you and go back immediately." The five thousand troops were still waiting for him to go back and settle down, and they all understood.

He called Jing Changning, Grandpa Xiaobei, and several of his sons over, and they gathered around their father. He lowered his voice to a minimum and continued to explain the rest of the matter.

Thinking that her uncle would need a lot of money to start a new life with her in Cangwu, Jing Chunxi thought of the wooden box she had just found the day before. She turned over in bed and took it out. She then found a thicker piece of cloth in her space and wrapped the gold and silver ingots inside. She also took out two sets of clothes that would fit her uncle. She wrapped everything into two large packages and secretly placed them on the floor next to the bunk bed.

"Okay, have a safe journey, we have to leave before dark." It was not known how long it had been, but after hearing these words from his uncle and the final instructions from his grandparents, Jing Chunxi quickly got up.

"Uncle, you have to take these things." Jing Chunxi picked up the two packages on the ground and stuffed them into his uncle's hands.

"What is this?" Jing Changjiang was very surprised. He held the two packages in his hands, both of which were heavy. He looked at his father and mother, and seeing that they didn't say anything, he didn't refuse.

Just said: "Thank you, Sister Xi!"

Jing Chunxi smiled: "Mother said that a poor family can lead to a rich road."

As soon as he said this, Jing Changjiang patted his shoulder gently. He sighed, "How would you know where home is? Where is the road?"

At this time, Zhuang also brought a package over, which she had just packed. It contained food and drink expenses and some banknotes.

With tears in her eyes, Zhuang handed the package to her husband, staring at him with tearful eyes, but she couldn't say a word.

Jing Changjiang didn't shy away from everyone's gaze. He put the package down first, then pulled Zhuang to his chest. The two of them hugged each other tightly, and then he whispered in her ear: "Everything will be fine in the future. Take good care of your parents and the children!"

The two of them separated quickly, and he turned around and bowed deeply to all his relatives who had sat up or stood up again. Then he picked up the three packages on the ground, pulled up Dalang who had helped him open the door, and walked out.

When Silang saw his elder brother leaving with his father, he also wanted to run outside.

"return."

Silang was pulled back by Grandpa Xiaobei with one hand, and he staggered. He cried and wanted to stay with his father for a while longer.

He knew that his father must have something to tell his eldest brother. He hated that he was too young and could not take on such a big responsibility. He wished he could become strong quickly so that his father would trust him.

The more he thought about it, the more wronged he felt, and the more incompetent he felt. He didn't even know how to stop crying, and finally hugged his mother.

Tao Jin did not get up from beginning to end. Except for the first time when he secretly glanced at General Jing, who looked like a bear, he lay in bed pretending to be asleep. Finally, he tilted his ears and listened quietly to the movements of this family.

Seeing them cry, seeing them laugh, and hearing them greet each other, my heart is moved.

……

As soon as they entered Foshan, Tao Jin, who had originally said he would go to Yamen Village with them before leaving, was picked up by someone.

The scene was more like kidnapping than picking someone up.

Nearly two hundred soldiers were dressed neatly, most of them were riding tall horses, and they stood directly at the front of the prisoner team.

If they were not wearing military uniforms and were not on the alert, I would have thought we were being intercepted by bandits again.

The soldiers who blocked their way, including the officers in charge, did not draw their swords or speak ill of them. They simply blocked the way forward and did not let anyone move forward.

The general standing in the front ignored Master Liu who came forward to negotiate. Even when he saw County Lieutenant Yan coming quickly to greet him, he just nodded slightly without even getting off his horse, and his attitude was arrogant.

But their eyes kept lingering on the carriage behind, especially on the riders, as if they were looking for the person they wanted.

The team suddenly stopped, and unless they were asleep, everyone would stick their heads out to see what was going on.

Tao Jin had already talked about the car curtain and saw the scene in front. He looked for a long time before silently lowering the curtain.

When he turned back to look into the carriage, he bowed to Jing Yongcheng and the old lady and said, "I'm going home, old general and old lady, take care."

……

Everyone in the car was stunned. Jing Chunxi was also surprised. He just stared at him but did not ask him why.

Looking at the demeanor of the soldiers blocking the road ahead, one can tell that they have really underestimated him all along the way. Although this little dandy is not favored at home, his identity is probably not simple. He makes such a big fuss just to pick someone up. If you don't know, you might think that the princess or the prince is traveling.

After Tao Jin finished his salute, he got out of the car, turned around to look at everyone in the car, saluted again, and then strode forward.

Jing Chunxi quickly jumped out of the car. It was really unexpected that Tao Jin suddenly said he was leaving. She felt a little panicked, and the others also got out of the car.

After all, we have walked this long together, it is impossible to say that there is no affection. Some of us are watching him from afar and some are curious about the people who come to pick him up.

Silang and Heizi, who were sitting in the other car, had already jumped out. Tao Jin bowed to the people in the other two cars and said, "Thank you, Madam and the aunts, for your care along the way. I am very grateful."

Heizi was stunned. Did his master not want him anymore? Was he going to leave?

He quickly turned around and took a package from the mule cart. It was his master's belongings. He didn't dare get too close, so he handed the package over from four or five steps away.

"Aren't you going back with me?" Tao Jin didn't take the package, but glared at Heizi. What he said made Heizi stunned.

"and many more!"

But it didn't take long before Kuroko suddenly stuffed the package in his hand into Shiro's hand next to him, then turned around and ran to the back of the team.

He ran all the way to Captain Cao's team, plopped down on his knees in front of his mother, kowtowed three times, and then raised his head and said, "I am an unfilial child. I will follow my master for now and visit my mother later."

This kid is really bold. He even gave up his mother in order to live a good life. The prisoners next to him stared at Heizi's mother, fearing that she would cry bitterly.

Unexpectedly, Heizi's mother had a calm expression and breathed a long sigh of relief, as if she had accomplished a mission. She even smiled: "Go, mother is waiting for you."

This kind of conversation seemed to be planned beforehand, without a trace of sadness, which made people feel indescribable weirdness. Are they really the biological son and mother?

But most prisoners could understand. Heizi wasn't on the list of prisoners, he was just exiled because he had no family to look after him. Rather than following his mother into exile and suffering forever, following a wealthy young man was a better option.

At least they can have enough food and clothes, and they won't be whipped or die in exile.

After Heizi kowtowed, he reached out and touched his mother's hands that were handcuffed with wooden shackles. Without shedding tears, he turned around and ran away resolutely. His actions were very decisive, a bit like how Jing Chunxi looked when he first saw him.
