On the other side, Lin Feng rode a horse, while Su Ran rode in a carriage.

As the two traveled back to Xinghe Prefecture, Su Ran was so jostled around that she lost her temper and stopped asking why they were in such a hurry.

Lin Feng had already slowed down his horse. At this rate, it would take more than half a month to arrive. You have to remember that when they set off, they arrived in Fuzhou City in just over ten days.

Su Ran, dressed in men's clothing, glanced at Lin Feng, who looked somewhat unfamiliar, through the car window. Brother Lin wasn't usually this taciturn.

They had known each other since childhood. Lin Feng was seven or eight years older than her. He often went hunting with his older brothers, and over time she became familiar with him.

If Brother Lin hadn't suddenly joined the army, she might have... Alas, the past cannot be recalled.

One must look forward. I don't know what kind of temperaments Young Master Jiang's sisters have. This is my first time being a teacher, and I don't know if I can do it.

The closer they got to Xinghe Prefecture, the more uncertain Su Ran felt. She wanted to get some useful information from Lin Feng, but she couldn't get anything out of him.

"You'll understand when you get there. The young ladies have their own martial arts instructors, who usually work in the backyard. You've asked the wrong person."

If you're still feeling uneasy, wait until we arrive at Xinghe Prefecture, and Master Zhao will explain everything to you in detail!

Su Ran's eyes lit up. "Master Zhao? Is she also a woman?"

"Yes, Master Zhao is also staying at the Jiang residence. Once you're settled, you'll see him often."

"Okay... By the way, who has better kung fu, you or Master Zhao?" Su Ran suddenly changed the subject.

"We haven't had a match, but my apprentice is better than hers!"

Lin Feng was full of confidence, and he unceremoniously took credit for Jiang Xiaoqi's rapid improvement in kung fu.

Hearing this, Su Ran chuckled, "Are you so sure? What if Master Zhao's disciple is even more skilled?"

"Yes! I personally taught Seventh Young Master his swordsmanship. Seventh Young Master is talented and hardworking. Given time, his swordsmanship will surely surpass mine!"

Su Ran knew how skilled Lin Feng was in kung fu, and that young master Jiang was indeed different from ordinary children.

However, she was more curious about what kind of person this Master Zhao was, after all, he would be her colleague in the future.

As women, they needed to cultivate good relationships with the young ladies of the Jiang family, one teaching literature and the other martial arts.

As they spoke, the carriage slowly entered Linchuan Prefecture, finally arriving at a place where they could stay for the night.

Lin Feng dismounted and entered the inn first, while Su Ran got off the carriage herself, picked up her simple bundle and luggage, and followed closely behind.

"Shopkeeper, two medium-sized rooms, next to each other."

"Alright! Sir, would you like some food?"

"Bring me two bowls, no, three bowls of noodles!"

"Alright~ Three bowls of hot noodle soup. Please go upstairs and settle in. The waiter will bring them to your room later."

"Thank you!"

Not long after Su Ran and Lin Feng went upstairs, the waiter brought up three bowls of steaming noodles.

Of course, there was also a misunderstanding. After all, normal people would think that the tall one would eat two bowls and the thin one would eat one bowl, but who would have thought it would be the other way around?

"Mmm, delicious, really delicious! I haven't had such delicious pancakes in a long time! Young master is such a kind person, giving me such delicious pancakes before even buying from me!"

Ah Niu ate seven or eight multigrain pancakes, leaving Li Mo, who was standing to the side, dumbfounded. It was the first time he had ever seen someone who could eat more than him.

Because of his large appetite, he was often mocked by Wenbin in a sarcastic manner, but now he has finally admitted defeat.

He could only eat three or four of these dry, multigrain pancakes at most. Perhaps it was because his standard of living had improved dramatically with the young master that he had become a bit spoiled.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

"Drink some water, don't choke!" Li Mo handed over a large bowl.

What kind of life does he have? He just finished serving Wenbin his medicine and meals, and now he's feeding the 'cow' here. He feels like he's gone from being a page to a maid.

Ah Niu took the large bowl, gulped down the water, let out a satisfied burp, and patted his belly contentedly.

Seeing Ah Niu like this, Li Mo found the man quite interesting. He had managed to cling to his young master despite his seemingly simple and honest appearance; he was quite shrewd.

He recalled the days before his family was bought by the young master, and he dared not recall them; they were worlds apart from the days of the past few years.

Just then, the door was gently pushed open, and Jiang Xiaoqi came in and tossed a bundle to A Niu.

"Young master, what is this?"

"Take a shower and change your clothes later."

"Clothes? For me? No, no, I have my own clothes, I can't take the young master's!"

"Oh? So you're unwilling to sell yourself to me?"

Jiang Xiaoqi feigned regret: "Then forget it. Why should I worry about people who aren't mine?"

"Wait, wait a minute! Young master! You, you want to buy me?!"

Ah Niu was a little excited. He opened the bundle, took out the clothes, and was about to put them on.

"Hey! Wash them first, they're all rotten, don't ruin the new clothes the young master gave you!"

Li Mo couldn't help but stop him; this guy was really reckless.

"We'll arrive at Jiangzhou Wharf in a couple of days. The official ship will stop to resupply then. Write a letter and send it back to your Yunzhou City along with the money you received for selling yourself."

"Yes, yes, yes! We'll do whatever the young master says! Now my eldest and second brothers can finally get married, and the neighbors won't call them old bachelors anymore!"

"Your older brothers won't have to stay single anymore, but you'll lose your freedom too. Don't you really regret it?"

"No regrets, absolutely no regrets! Just for those eight pancakes and this new outfit, we have no regrets!" Ah Niu said honestly.

Ah Niu thought that the young master was willing to buy him, a crude and clumsy man, so he was his benefactor, and the benefactor of his whole family!

Besides, the young master provides him with plenty of food and new clothes. There's nothing better than this, so what's there to regret?

"Okay, take a good shower today, change into clean clothes, and then take turns with Li Mo to take care of Wenbin."

While eating the pancakes, Li Mo had already told A Niu that there was another person by the young master's side, but he was currently recovering from an injury.

"Hey! We'll do whatever the young master says! Brother Li Mo, just tell me if you need any heavy work. I'm very strong!"

Li Mo believed this, after all, he had personally witnessed this guy accidentally break one edge of the earthenware jar containing the mixed grain cakes with his bare hands.

That earthenware urn was at least an inch thick...

Two days later, at the Jiangzhou City Wharf.

This time, Jiang Xiaoqi didn't disembark. He was afraid that he would be entangled again and encounter someone in Jiangcheng who insisted on selling himself into slavery.

Li Mo took Ah Niu to handle all the matters, while he stayed by Wen Bin's side, writing and drawing.

Wenbin's wounds have mostly healed, with only the deepest one still occasionally bleeding. It is estimated that in another seven or eight days, this wound will be able to scab over, and then it will be safer to ride in a carriage.

On the 7th or 8th, the official ships finally docked at the port of Puzhou.
