Not long after, Allen, Youmeng and Matthew entered the living room under the guidance of Chang Shi.

Both parties greeted each other with courtesy, and the guests and hosts were seated separately.

"Hey, is this our little prince? He's grown so big."

Allen had already prepared a gift, and now he couldn't wait to take it out.

"Come here and let Uncle Allen take a good look. Well, this is a gift from your uncle, aunt, and Uncle Allen."

whee.

Yingpan was already very happy to see her mother's family, but now she was even more happy.

"What kind of gift are you bringing this far away?"

She scolded him first, and then proudly held her son who was making a little trouble.

"Zhan'er, call Uncle Allen. Also, this is a gift from your uncle and aunt."

Oh.

Ren Zhan responded, looking curiously at Allen, who was as black as a charcoal, and said after a long while: "Hello, Uncle Allen, thank you uncle and aunt for the gift."

Then he happily took the gift and started playing by himself.

"Okay, okay." Allen slapped his thigh happily.

Ren Zhan was still young, had unclear speech, and was very confused when speaking in a milky voice. Allen's Yun Chuiyu had been learned only so-so, and he couldn't understand it at all at this time, but he was extremely happy.

Ren Ning saw it, but was not surprised.

Although Allen and Yingpan are masters and servants, they grew up together and are actually better than brothers and sisters.

At this time, seeing that the other party is in good health, her husband and wife are harmonious, and her son is well-behaved, it means that she is like a fish in water here in Xingji City, and she is naturally happy from the bottom of her heart.

cough cough.

You Meng behind him coughed twice in unison.

Now they are ministers of the Yunchui Empire. Although Allen is familiar with Yingpan, looking directly at the future mother of the country is very disrespectful according to Yunchui etiquette.

Ren Ning heard clearly and ignored You Meng, but looked at the nominal merchant leader of the camel caravan with a smile.

"Master Matthew, long time no see."

"Calculating the time, it has been several years since the last time we said goodbye. Are you okay?"

Matthew's buttocks had only dared to cling to the stool lightly, but when he heard Ren Ning's question, he jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."

As expected of a traveling caravan leader, I don’t know when Matthew learned the Yun Chui language.

He spoke even more fluently than Youmeng and Allen at this time.

"I'm not afraid of His Highness's jokes. My goal in this life is to one day become the leader of a large caravan and proudly lead the caravan to travel back and forth between countries to do business."

"There is no ambition but only a weak family background. Although my subordinates have worked hard for more than 20 years, they are still far away from the goal."

"Thanks to meeting His Highness on the grassland a few years ago, I easily achieved my lifelong wish with your help. Now I eat well, sleep well, and do business with ease. It can be said that it couldn't be better." good."

Ren Ning laughed.

He had detailed information on the entire camel caravan, so he knew exactly how Matthew had done over the years.

"In order to grow the caravan these years, you have traveled back and forth and worked hard without complaint. You have done a good job. Thank you for your hard work."

Matthew was both excited and terrified.

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness. This is what a subordinate should do."

At that time, he pinched his nose and accepted Ren Ning's manipulation. He just wanted to survive and didn't care about anything else.

However, now sitting in this tall and spacious palace, Matthew suddenly realized that he had unknowingly stood at the top of the world's business leaders.

What are the small and medium-sized caravans?

He now leads a large Tuo caravan, and wherever he goes, no matter whether it is the city lord, the county guard or the clan leader, everyone must greet him with a smile.

What does the mere Principality of Langston mean?

Where he stood now, even the Beixiong Empire was a bit afraid.

"Having been away for so many years, do you miss home?"

In a daze, Matthew heard Ren Ning's voice.

Although the voice is weak, it has a soothing power.

Family?

Matthew couldn't help but look at Xiao Renzhan, who was playing with Allen and toys not far away, and nodded subconsciously.

After so many years, the youngest son in the family should have grown up.

It's a pity that I can't watch him grow up, teach him to ride a horse, teach him to do business, or even hear him call him dad again.

However, Matthew reacted quickly and was suddenly frightened and sweating profusely.

"Your Highness, forgive me. Your Highness allowed me to send letters to my family to report that I am safe. This is already a great favor. I dare not ask for too much."

After speaking, he expressed his determination with a firm look on his face. "Now the camel caravan is my subordinate's home. No matter where His Highness wants the caravan to go, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."

Ren Ning waved his hand gently.

He looked at the bright green value on Matthew's head under the golden finger and nodded with satisfaction.

"You don't have to be nervous. It's human nature to miss your family, and I don't mean to blame you."

Call ~

Matthew secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Ren Ning's next words almost made his heart twitch again.

"I am not a harsh person. I pay attention to rewards and punishments, and clear rewards and punishments."

"Since you have done a good job with the caravan these years and have made a lot of money for me and Kailun, but now you are homesick again, then take your brothers from the camel caravan back home so that everyone can see each other well. Meet the family.”

what?

Matthew doubted his ears.

He glanced at Youmeng, who was also confused, and looked at Ren Ning cautiously.

"Your Highness, you...mean the Principality of Langston?"

Uh.

Since Grand Duke Langston fled his homeland a few years ago, there is no longer the Principality of Langston, and that land is now called the Principality of Nicholas.

However, compared to the former Principality of Langston, the area of ​​​​the Principality of Nicholas is now a full quarter smaller, with almost only the small part that is close to the Desert of No Return remaining.

As for ordinary people, Grand Duke Langston was cruel enough in the past, but the newly appointed Nicholas II was even worse.

He has always ignored the suffering of the people and plundered the people wantonly.

As a result, the rich have almost died or fled, while the poor have become even poorer.

It can be said that the entire small principality is full of complaints and people are having a hard time living.

"Yes." Ren Ning smiled and nodded, "It's to go back to your hometown, which is the former Principality of Langston and now the Principality of Nicholas."

Matthew was ecstatic, so excited that he almost shed tears.

He calmed down and bowed deeply.

"On behalf of the brothers of the entire camel caravan, I would like to thank His Highness for your great kindness. In the future, everyone will definitely work harder to repay His Highness's kindness and kindness."

After finishing speaking, Matthew hesitated.

"Your Highness, this time the camel caravan is heading to Lansdowne, er, the Principality of Nicholas. I wonder if it is purely to return home to visit relatives or to continue doing business?"

It would be a waste of manpower and material resources for such a large caravan to return home empty-handed.

But if you are a businessman, given the current situation in the Principality of Nicholas, you may be doing business at a loss.

Ren Ning laughed.

"What's the point? After the brothers visit our home, the caravan can continue north to do business in other principalities."

In previous years, caravans taking the Beixiong-Xiliang Line did this.

Matthew perked up and said, "In that case, my subordinates can rest assured."

That's it, he quickly mentally calculated what goods he should bring back from Xingji City or Yunchui after a while before the caravan set off.

"Don't be so anxious." Ren Ning interrupted his thoughts with a smile.

Allen and the others will represent the Kailun tribe at Ren Ning's enthronement ceremony, so the caravan's return to the west will have to wait until at least the middle or even the end of next month.

The time is relatively long.

After saying that, Ren Ning took out a box that was as clean as new from nowhere.

"Do you know what this is?"

Including Allen and Youmeng, Matthew all shook their heads.

"Back to Your Highness, I don't know."

Ren Ning was not surprised and opened the box casually.

Inside is a jade seal about two inches long.

The seal is well preserved and the surface is spotless.

Ren Ning took it out and gestured towards Matthew.

The inscriptions engraved on it looked familiar.

Matthew took a closer look and was shocked.

"Your Highness, is this Beixiong language?"

"You are right." Ren Ning smiled and nodded, "This is the Duke's seal of Duke Langston."

"That Nicholas who comes from nowhere can be the Grand Duke. Your Matthew's son is no worse than him. Have you ever thought that one day your Matthew family will also sit in this Grand Duke's position?" (End of Chapter)
