A young knight-errant in the mountains dreams of conquering the mountains and fulfilling his lofty ambitions.

While Xiang Yu was on a remote blind date in the mountains using portraits, Su Jinyue was playing with little Mo Fu in the garden.

The little boy was at the age when he loved to play. He stumbled around and struggled to avoid being led.

Su Jinyue had no choice but to let go and let her play by herself.

"Your parents will be arriving in Xianyang in a few days. Are you happy, Mo Fu?"

"Kai Sen..."

As the magistrate of a certain place, Xu's father had to hand over to the new magistrate before he could leave, so he was delayed for a few days.

When Xu's father and mother arrive, they will hold a formal apprenticeship ceremony to announce the identity of the national master's first disciple to the world.

By then, it will surely attract another wave of alchemists who will come to become his disciples.

"Be careful, don't fall~"

As soon as Su Jinyue finished her instructions, little Mo Fu stumbled and fell forward.

"Hey, which little doll is this?"

After not seeing each other for several months, Yang Zi ran excitedly to play with his third sister. He caught a delicate little cub and felt very surprised.

Su Jinyue took two quick steps and rushed to their side, "Yang Zi, this is my eldest disciple, Xu Mofu, I have to call you aunt, hahahaha, you are so young, and you are the elder~"

"Eh? Mo Fu, hurry up and tell your aunt to listen."

Yang Zi coaxed Xiao Mofu with shining eyes, took out a piece of dessert from the brocade bag and handed it to Xiao Mofu.

"Auntie will give you some snacks."

Little Mofu held the snack tightly with his chubby little hands and giggled, "Auntie~eat..."

"Hey~ scream again!"

Children love to play, Su Jinyue smiled as she watched the two little ones holding hands and playing with leaves.

The laughter was carefree and contagious, causing the attendants who were watching over him to relax as well.

At this moment, a group of servants carrying heavy wooden boxes came from a distance.

The leading attendant looked familiar. Su Jinyue looked at him carefully, but could not remember his name.

When the man saw Su Jinyue, he immediately waved for everyone to stop. He then trotted over to Su Jinyue's side, knelt down and greeted her, "Master Imperial Master, I am Lu Yuan from the eldest son's palace, and I pay my respects to you."

Su Jinyue waved her hand and asked Lu Yuan to stand up and speak. "No need to be polite. Since you are my elder brother's attendant, don't delay and go to your business."

Lu Yuan did not leave, but bent over and continued, "Master Imperial Master, the eldest son said that if you are free these two days, you should go to his place and chat about family matters."

"Okay, I'll be there in two days."

"Yes, the clerk has withdrawn."

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he backed up to where he was and led his servants to continue moving things.

Su Jinyue looked at the backs of this group of people from afar, wondering in her heart, her elder brother has always been frugal, why is he moving valuables in such a ostentatious way now?

It was obvious at first glance that those large wooden boxes were not filled with books or anything like that.

If the eldest brother becomes rich, can she follow him and get a few gold pieces?

Thinking of this, Su Jinyue smiled more sincerely. Tomorrow, no, the day after tomorrow, I will go to talk to my eldest brother, hehe~

There will be a big event tomorrow. The Shaofu ordered Old Man Cai to send a message that the Shaofu has successfully developed a new device!

Of course she wanted to join in the fun of such a novel thing.

In the Shaofu, Xu Fu, upon hearing that the Imperial Master would be coming tomorrow, hurriedly asked someone to fetch hot water, prepare to burn incense and bathe, and wear a new Taoist robe to welcome the other party tomorrow.

Whether you can successfully become a disciple depends on this one move.

He anxiously checked the various tools, his heart full of anticipation.

The merchant Boliu was also busy. As the first disciples of the imperial master, they had to pay their respects to the master when he returned.

Only the youngest son of the Bo family remained in Xianyang, staying by Bo Liu's side. The others had grown up and were each leading a caravan, transporting goods to distant lands.

Among them were caravans traveling through the north.

At the border of Liaodong County, General Zhao Lingfeng, dressed in hunter's clothes, looked at the caravan opposite with a serious expression.

"This journey is fraught with danger, so please be cautious."

The leader of the caravan, Gao Xu, had a resolute face and deep eyes. He was Bo Liu's eldest disciple. When he learned that His Majesty was going to send a team of merchants to the north, he volunteered to lead the team himself.

Employ business people, do business things, and intervene in the war between two countries.

This has always been something they dared not even think about.

Now that he has this opportunity, he must seize it, even if it means sacrificing his life.

Once they succeed, their business status will change dramatically, and no one can say that they are treacherous and corrupt.

Gao Xu raised his halberd towards Zhao Lingfeng and said firmly, "I thank you for your kindness, General. When spring comes and flowers bloom next year, it will be time for us to return."

"Good!" Zhao Lingfeng patted Gao Xu's shoulder vigorously, "Return triumphantly!"

"Return in triumph!!"

The sky was filled with yellow sand and the scenery was desolate.

A caravan of two hundred people passed through the heavy city gate and headed towards the territory of the northern Hu people.

Gao Xu hid half of his face behind his fur collar, squinted his eyes and looked into the distance.

This time they went deep into the heartland of the Hu people with only one purpose, to open up a trade route and prepare for future plans.

Each carriage was filled with exquisite silk brocade, ingenious ceramic utensils, and fragrant and strong wine.

Apart from that, there is nothing else.

By next year, these items will be exchanged for cattle and horse furs and shipped back to the mainland.

The vast grassland stretched as far as the eye could see. The caravan moved slowly forward on the grassland, occasionally encountering a few nomadic Hu people and exchanging some supplies for them. It didn't take long before the entire caravan was dressed in Hu people's attire.

He wore a fur coat and a felt hat, and hired several local Hu people as guides, so the journey was peaceful.

Sometimes we would encounter barbaric and unreasonable Hu tribes who only wanted to kill people and loot. Fortunately, there were disguised officers in the team who could resist them and provide opportunities for both sides to negotiate during the fight.

As night fell and the sky was dotted with stars, Gao Xu looked at the Hu people sitting around the campfire and felt a little relaxed.

As long as they are willing to exchange, even if they suffer some losses, they can operate in the hope of a better future.

The roasted lamb is fragrant, tender and juicy, and accompanied by mellow wine, making the meal even more harmonious.

The two groups ate and drank, sang and danced, and the bonfire reflected people's happy faces, which also declared that there will be more exchanges and cooperation between the two sides.

After eating and drinking, Gao Xu walked into the shadows and was about to relieve himself when he was suddenly stopped by a dirty and tattered Yan man.

The man fell to his knees at his feet, crying in a thick swallow-like voice, "Sir, please take me away. I can speak the Hu language and I can read. Please take me away. Just give me something to eat. I don't want money. I am willing to be a slave or a servant."

As he spoke, he kowtowed heavily again and again.

Gao Xu stopped him softly, "Don't kowtow yet, speak softly and tell me what's going on."

Knowing that time was limited, the man did not hesitate and spoke quietly about the past.
