Bai Shan and the others were busy packing their things and getting ready to go home. Of course, there were many of them, so a few of them just stood in the yard holding hands and basking in the sun while instructing the escorting soldiers to pack their luggage.

Manbao will not put anything in Keke's space on the return trip this time. Apart from the jewelry she particularly likes that she picked out early, only Bai Erlang's cat's-eye gemstone is still in the space.

Everything else is on the surface.

Of course, they wouldn't open the box and show it to others, they would hide everything in the box.

However, we all suppressed bandits together, went to the mountains to dig for treasures together, and shared the spoils together on the prairie. We even exchanged treasures with each other, so no one knew who had what.

They didn't know much about Heavy Rain who lived in the yard opposite, but they were still stunned by the luggage Zhou Man and the others brought back, "You brought too many things, didn't you? What are they?"

Man Bao said: "We have everything, including jade, gemstones, various jewelry and medicinal materials that we think are beautiful."

"Medicine?"

"That's right," Man Bao said, "There are some medicinal materials here that are not available in the Central Plains, so I bought some more and went back."

Heavy Rain was a little moved, but he still forgot it. He didn't have much money in hand, and the medicinal materials were not of much use in their small town. After all, good medicinal materials also need a good doctor to be effective, right?

They have no access to the goods in Shazhou. Unlike the gems and spices in their hands, they can not only find any merchants to sell them to, but they also have access to them themselves.

Heavy rain thought about it, he came here this time to discuss with Bai Shan and others about going back.

The trade route was reopened, and there were far fewer bandits and horse thieves on the road. Moreover, this time General Ashina led his army back to the DPRK, returning troops borrowed from Shazhou, Suzhou, and Liangzhou along the way, and finally spent the summer.

The state is returning to the capital, so they don’t need their protection along the way, so the price...

Bai Shandao: "We separated from the army in Shazhou and went back to Liangzhou via your town. As for the money, the most we can do is pay you the money from Shazhou to the town. Of course, if you escort us all the way to Liangzhou, this money

It can also be discussed further.”

Heavy Rain: "...Don't you go with the army?"

Bai Shan: "No..."

Because General Ashina also sent his army back to Shazhou, and then sent his soldiers and horses back to the states in batches.

At the beginning, all the states had their generals come out to lead the troops with General Ashina. Except for those who died in the battlefield, everyone else will be returned to the original army. When the time comes, the merits of each army and the merits of each general will be reflected in General Ashina's return.

After arriving in the capital, the imperial court will decide and then send it to the states.

After Bai Shan and others learned about General Ashina's journey, they did not want to go with him because he planned to return to the capital from Shazhou in twelve days.

When Bai Shan and others learned about his itinerary, they immediately expressed that they might not be traveling the same way, and they would separate when they reached Shazhou so as not to disturb General Ashina.

General Ashina didn't understand why they didn't go the same way until the day they set off. They were both going back to Beijing.

He saw a long line of horse-drawn carriages, mule carts... and ox-carts among their ranks.

General Ashina looked at the boxes on the carriage and mule cart, and then at the veterans and remnants sitting on the ox cart. After being speechless for a while, he turned to say goodbye to Chai Duhu who came to see him off.

Chai Duhu was also stunned for a moment, and he also greeted General Ashina. After everyone started to leave, he touched his beard and his confidant beside him and said: "Although Tiaojuo is a little young, he is still stable.

"The main thing is that you have a kind heart.

It is rare that so many bullock carts have been prepared.

General Ashina also looked away from those bullock carts, and for the first time he couldn't help complaining, "No wonder they have to separate from us when they arrive in Shazhou, and use bullock carts to transport troops. Not to mention twelve days, plus half the time."

I’m afraid I won’t be able to return to the capital.”

Now the army is traveling and the troops are returning to the court, so they don’t rush. The ox carts are caught in it and it doesn’t seem slow. But when they arrive in Shazhou, General Ashina only rushes back to the capital with a few of his generals and guards.

Speaking of ox carts, even those mule carts loaded with luggage would probably have a hard time keeping up.

He was right, Manbao and the others could not return to the capital within twenty-four days, but they could return to Xiazhou within twenty-four days.

The heavy rain took them all the way to Xiazhou. Yes, they crossed Liangzhou and escorted them to Xiazhou, and they didn't charge any money for the journey from the small town to Xiazhou.

Because the goods in their hands were not sold in Shazhou, but were planned to be taken to Xiazhou, Bai Shan and Zhou Man agreed to introduce merchants to them to sell the goods in their hands.

Moreover, there are more Han people in Xiazhou, so he might be able to marry a Han wife back home.

When they arrived at the gate of Xiazhou City, Du Yu couldn't help but exclaimed "Wow" with his companions. They thought they were saying "Wow" because they were country bumpkins and had never seen such a lively scene. Unexpectedly, "Wow" came from the side as well.

"A sound.

Dayu and others turned to look at them and asked curiously: "Haven't you ever seen such a prosperous city?"

Man Bao closed his mouth and shook his head, "No, the capital city and Yizhou City are much more prosperous than Xiazhou City, but..."

"It's just that Xiazhou City was very quiet before. I didn't expect so many people to come in and out of Xiazhou City in just over half a year." Bai Shan said, "And this is the North City Gate."

This is the north gate facing the grassland.

Mr. Zhuang also opened the curtains and looked outside. When he saw the familiar Xiazhou City Gate, he breathed a sigh of relief and finally came back.

The carriages lined up to enter the city. As soon as the guards took out the paperwork and registered, soldiers immediately ran to the governor's office to report. When Manbao and his convoy entered the city, they walked a short distance into the city and Wan Tian led people to greet them.

With sharp eyes, he saw Bai Shan, Zhou Man and others riding on the horse. He immediately jumped off the horse and ran forward to stop the convoy. He bowed his head and said: "Young man, I have seen Mr. Bai, Miss Man, Mr. Bai..."

"Okay, okay, if you want to recite everyone once, how long will it take?" Bai Shan asked with a smile, "Did Senior Brother Yang ask you to pick us up?"

"Yes," Wan Tian smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed and said, "The inn is ready. Young ladies can go to the inn to rest first..."

He glanced at the continuous motorcade behind him, and the smile on his face became even brighter, and he said: "The inn is not enough for accommodation, so you can stay in the inn next to it."

So the group went to the inn to settle down first. Wan Tian did not arrange a room for Bai Shan and the others. After Nie Canjun and the others settled in, he immediately asked people to transport the car containing Zhou Man's luggage to the governor's mansion. He invited Bai Shan and the others:

"When the little one came out, the uncle sent someone to tell the madam. The madam should have tidied up the yard by now. She also asked Mr. Zhuang and the young ladies to go home with the little one."

Bai Shan and the others didn't have any objections. Anyway, the last time they visited Xiazhou, they stayed in the governor's mansion.
