On the official road, Li Xun galloped on his horse, followed by three hundred soldiers, each with two horses.

Things in Wuzhou are almost arranged.

With Fan Zhongyun and Sima Zhong in charge, there will be no changes in the short term.

Along the way, Li Xun did not delay at all. Twelve days later, he arrived at Huizhou and entered the pass.

In Huizhou, Li Xun met Shanqiu who was escorting 800,000 days of grain.

At first, Li Xun hesitated to return to Fengjing, so he delayed. However, the food needed by the court could not be delayed. After gathering 800,000 dan of food, Li Xun ordered Shanqiu to lead 3,000 troops.

, Escorted back to Beijing, they had been gone for more than a month, and now they met in Huizhou.

Li Xun didn't say much when he saw Shan Qiu. The two of them just happened to meet each other on the way.

Keep on going, three days later.

In the eighth year of Taiping, October 19th.

It was already dark, and half an hour before the city gate closed, Li Xun finally returned to Fengjing.

It was impossible for a team of several hundred people to enter the city directly. After questioning by the guarding officer, Li Xun showed his official seal and then entered the city smoothly.

There are two markets in Fengjing, the East and West, which specialize in business. When Li Xun passed by the West Market, the scene was extremely lively. Hundreds or thousands of vendors were already driving carriages and carrying burdens, standing on the road and setting up platforms to do business.

The sky has not yet completely darkened, it is time for dinner, and these vendors can't wait to come out to do business.

"Boss, the capital is more lively than before."

Jiang Daxiong looked around with great interest. After being away for a year and more than half a year, he returned home and was in a very good mood. He was very excited about everything he saw.

"This is not a good thing!"

Li Xun shook his head. Jiang Daxiong only saw the superficial phenomenon. In the past, when the political situation was stable, the world was peaceful, and food prices were low, although the West Market was also very lively, it was not as exaggerated as it is now. Now, with the severe drought in the Central Plains and food prices out of control, the West Market

The market is showing a hot trend, which is not normal in itself. What does it mean? People have no money, so they can only earn some money by doing small businesses to supplement their families.

Walking in the busy city, the people on both sides were not afraid when they saw Li Xun's group of hundreds of cavalry. Instead, they enthusiastically stepped forward to sell the products. After leaving their hometown for more than a year, when they came back, the soldiers'

They were all in a good mood and did not drive away the people who gathered around them. Some soldiers who had relatively ample money came out with some loose money and bought some things. The small vendors who sold the goods were immediately elated and very happy.

Li Xun took the riding whip in his hand, swept around, and asked Ouyang Li next to him: "Ouyang Li, what did you find?"

Ouyang Li thought for a moment and then said: "There are more businessmen here than pedestrians."

Li Xun nodded and sighed: "The situation in the capital is not optimistic!"

After returning home, Li Xun issued an order. Except for Hou Quan and more than 30 other soldiers who were not at home in the capital, all the others were given a ten-day holiday.

"Boss, I'll go home and take a look."

"Report here during the day and go home at night."

Li Xun gave an order, then took out five silver notes with a face value of one hundred taels and handed them to Jiang Daxiong.

"knew."

Jiang Daxiong collected the banknote, agreed, mounted his horse and left.

Li Xun's mansion was a gift from Zhao Zhi. It occupies not a large area, but it has more than 30 acres of land. It can accommodate dozens of people including Hou Quan without any problem.

He stepped forward and knocked on the door. The housekeeper opened the door and stuck his head out. When he saw Li Xun, he was stunned.

"Why are you so stunned? You don't recognize me, young master?"

Li Xun laughed and cursed, stretched out his hand, pressed his head, pushed him away, and walked into his home.

The butler was overjoyed: "Master, why are you back?"

Li Xun smiled and said: "What, my home, I can't come back?"

"If you can come back, if you can come back, look at my bad mouth."

The butler nodded repeatedly, stretched out his hand, and slapped himself in the mouth.

Li Xun waved his hand: "Okay, where is the old man?"

"Master is at home and hasn't gone to bed yet. I'm going to report it right now."

The housekeeper strode away, shouting loudly as he ran: "The young master is back, the young master is back."

Hearing the shouting, people in the mansion ran out one after another. When they saw Li Xun, they all gathered around him and asked for help.

After a while, Li Mancang came quickly. When Li Xun saw his father, he quickly stepped forward, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed several times.

Li Mancang looked excited and helped Li Xun up: "Gouer, aren't you going to come back this year?"

Li Xun shook his head: "I miss home."

Li Mancang stared at his son. He hadn't seen him for more than a year. His temperament had changed a lot, his body had become stronger, and his expression had become a little more determined.

Li Mancang dismissed everyone, and then took Li Xun to the study.

"I know about you. You...should not come back."

Li Xun thought for a moment, then said with a smile: "Father, I will make plans for these things when I meet my aunt tomorrow. We, father and son, can't explain why we are here."

There are some things that Li Xun doesn't want to talk to his father about. If he talks too much, it will be troublesome.

Li Mancang sighed: "Forget it, I can't say anything about your matter. If you have any difficulty, just go to your aunt and she will help you."

Li Xun rubbed Li Mancang's shoulders and changed the topic: "Where is Xiaolian? I didn't see her either."

"Xiao Lian went to live with her uncle. I'm afraid her uncle won't be able to survive this winter."

Li Xun shook his head and said softly: "Some things are destined to be yours. You can't escape them. They are not yours and you can't force them."

Xiaolian's uncle, although Li Mancang didn't want to see their family since he came to the capital, Li Xun still gave a lot of help secretly. Especially after the relationship between Li Xun and Xiaolian was confirmed, Li Mancang's attitude became a little better.

Change, one thousand acres of land and two thousand taels of silver were given to Uncle Xiaolian's family at once. Life has undergone earth-shaking changes. He has been wandering all his life and worked hard all his life. When he should enjoy happiness, he gets seriously ill. This is all fate.

.

There was no talk all night. After traveling for so many days, Li Xun was very tired. He ate something casually and went to bed early at night.

Early the next morning, Li Xun got up early.

After a good sleep, all the fatigue was instantly wiped away. Early in the morning, Li Xun felt a little more interested and started playing around in the yard with his sword.

After exercising for a while, Li Xun stopped and saw Jiang Daxiong and Ouyang Li standing not far away, looking at him with interest.

"Big Bear, is this move of the boss okay?"

Li Xun walked forward and asked with a smile.

Jiang Daxiong rolled his head and said honestly: "Boss, your moves look good, but they are too weak and have little strength. If I take action without three moves, you will be dead."

Li Xun rolled his eyes: "Can I compete with you?"

Ouyang Li smiled and said: "My lord, your strength lies in winning decisive battles thousands of miles away. No matter how powerful your martial arts are, they can only be used for self-preservation at best. They are not worth mentioning. They are just a path after all."
