"What? Is the fleet back?"

It was three days before Li Zexuan got up and was washing his face in the courtyard when he heard Pang Feiji's shouting from the front of the courtyard. He was startled at first, then overjoyed.

"Quick, quick, prepare a horse for me, and go to the dock now~!"

Li Zexuan wiped his face in excitement, and then yelled at Pang Feiji outside.

"Yes, sir~!"

"Brother, is there some fun to watch~? Lan'er is going too~!"

Laner, who was playing in the backyard, shouted happily at the moment.

The little girl was at a frantic age, not so sleepy, and woke up much earlier than Li Zexuan. When she heard that there was a big boat watching, she immediately became interested.

"Haha~! Well, since you want to see Laner, then brother will show you~!"

Li Zexuan's laughter came from the backyard.

After a while, the two of them ran out of the Yunshan Courtyard. Laner and Li Zexuan naturally rode together. Along the way, the little girl giggled happily, because since the beginning of Yanhuang Academy, Li Zexuan, the elder brother, has been riding for a long time. I didn't go out with her anymore. Today, I have a rare opportunity to go out and watch the fun together.

Bahe belongs to one of the "Eight Waters of Chang'an", originating in Lantian County, east of Chang'an City.

On both sides of Baqiao, embankments are built for five miles, and ten thousand willows are planted. Whenever the spring is full and the spring breeze blows, the catkins are flying all over the sky and the smoke is foggy, which becomes a major landscape of Chang'an Baqiao.

Bahe has a wharf and a post station, called "Bating", where people greet and see off guests, say goodbye, and break off branches and willows as gifts. The Ba River flows through Mei Village, and there is a relatively large wharf in the southeast of Mei Village, where most of the merchant ships load and unload goods. The last expedition ceremony of the imperial fleet was held on this wharf.

After about two quarters of an hour, Li Zexuan and his party arrived at the Bahe Wharf. At this time, the wharf was already crowded with people.

"How come there are so many people?"

Seeing the mighty crowd surrounding the pier, Li Zexuan couldn't help asking.

Pang Feiji wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said hesitantly: "This... I don't know who leaked the news. These people, 80% of them have relatives in the fleet, they should have come to greet their families"

"Maybe~!"

Li Zexuan shook his head, and didn't want to investigate further, so he hit his horse and walked towards the crowd.

……………………

"Auntie, why haven't you seen Daddy~? Didn't you say Daddy is coming back today~?"

On the edge of the pier, a little girl looked up at the middle-aged woman who was holding her little hand, and asked in a crisp voice.

The middle-aged woman gently touched the little girl's horn braid and said softly, "Come back soon, come back soon~!"

Although her voice was flat, her trembling hands showed that her heart was surging and not at all calm, but she forced her emotions to control her emotions in order to avoid losing her temper in front of her daughter.

"Oh~! Mother, do you think Daddy is thin or fat? I haven't seen Daddy for a long time, Yaya misses Daddy so much~!"

That's right, the mother and daughter are Meng Wenhao's mother and sister. If the Yanhuang Academy was still in military training today, Meng Wenhao would definitely come over in person.

"...Your father, should be thin, right?"

Mother Meng said hesitantly.

About Meng Youliang's current situation, Meng Wenhao has already learned from Li Zexuan's mouth, but in order to avoid the family's worries, he did not tell the truth, so now Meng's mother does not know anything about what happened to her husband at sea.

"Good girl, your father must miss you very much~!"

Hearing the second half of her daughter's words, Mother Meng's eyes became sour, and she almost burst into tears. Everyone in the world likes to reunite, but the joys and sorrows of separation and reunion are the helplessness of poor families. If they want to survive, their family must accept the separation. With bad luck, this parting will turn into a goodbye forever. But what can be done then?

"Hmmmm~! A-Niang, after Daddy comes back this time, let's not let Daddy leave us again, okay? Yaya can also help the family earn money. Recently, Yaya has made a lot of money catching locusts, and she can buy a lot. Bun~!"

But Yaya is still young, how can she understand the sadness behind this family, the little girl blinked her clear eyes and prayed innocently.

Listening to her daughter's innocent words, Mother Meng felt very uncomfortable. She put her daughter's head into her waist and said softly: "Okay, A-Niang promised Yaya that after your father comes back this time, he will never do it again. will leave us."

In fact, Yaya's wish is not the wish of Meng's mother. In the past few months when the fleet went south to sea, she did not sleep soundly at night. She, who has never believed in gods and Buddhas, went to the Daxingshan Temple in Chang'an City to ask for help. Several times, the Bodhisattva donated dozens of pennies of sesame oil money.

Dozens of pennies are nothing to a wealthy family, but for the current Meng family, tens of pennies are a lot of money, and they can buy hundreds of kilograms of rice! But in order to ask the gods and Buddhas to bless her family with safety, Mother Meng felt that these tens of pennies were worth the money.

"How long will it take for the fleet to come back~?"

Li Zexuan held Laner's little hand and asked while pushing forward.

As a martial arts master now, he can naturally release his inner strength. Although the pier is crowded with people, but with his strong inner strength, no matter where he goes, the crowd around him will be silent.

The sound was bounced some distance away, so there was no need to worry about Laner being squeezed.

"Master, it should be soon! When my subordinates reported to you in the morning, the fleet was only about ten miles away from here, and now it is estimated that it should be six or seven miles away~!"

It should have been the job of the guard Pang Feiji to open the road ahead, but Li Zexuan, the darling madman, was afraid that the crowd would crush Laner, so he did the work of clearing the road himself, so the guard Pang Feiji actually avoided Behind Li Zexuan, he enjoyed the treatment of being a "boss".

Six or seven miles, judging by the speed of the boat on the water, it would only take more than half an hour. Li Zexuan nodded and dragged Laner to continue walking in front of the crowd.

………………

The people of Chang'an City all knew that the fleet was coming back today. Li Er, the emperor, couldn't have been unaware, but he certainly couldn't be like the people who just waited there foolishly for a long time.

Halfway up the morning, a small servant walked up to Li Er lightly, whispered a few words in a low voice, and then Li Er stood up directly and said to the court princes with a smile on his face:

"This is the end of the morning, and everyone Aiqing will go with me to Bashang to welcome the triumph of the southbound fleet~!"
