My spirit appeared on the road to exile, and I was treated as an ancestor.

Chapter 57 The Good Things Sent by Our Ancestors
Everyone stared wide-eyed at the tents that had suddenly appeared on the empty ground in front of them.

Lu Qing was excited. He stood up with his cane, staggered and almost fell. Lu Zhou, who was standing next to him, was startled and quickly reached out to help him.

"Father, please slow down!"

The Lu clan members behind couldn't resist either, and they all got up and followed the old man to see.

The tent was set up very well. Lu Qing looked at it carefully; the tents he remembered were not like this!

When he was young, he went hunting with the late emperor every year. He saw the guards setting up tents, which was very complicated and took almost half an hour just to set them up!
But our ancestors just opened their mouths so gently, and in the blink of an eye, the structure was already built?

He tried to study it, but the workmanship looked so complicated that he couldn't understand it.

Hearing what he was thinking, Gu Xingzhao laughed and said, "This is just for the sake of being lightweight and easy to carry. In terms of materials and structure, it is far inferior to the ones you use."

She has studied ancient tents. Historical records mention a set of gilded bronze tents from the Han Dynasty, which has 102 parts and is extremely exquisite. It was used by ancient nobles and its structure and materials far surpass those of modern camping tents.

However, these modern tents are still better in terms of portability. They are also inexpensive. You can open them at night and pack them up during the day, and then you can leave immediately.

This is perfect for Lu Qing and his team to use at this time.

Lu Qing felt that his ancestors were being modest; this stuff was truly top-notch!
Lu Zhou stared intently, even reaching out to touch it, repeatedly marveling, "Father, is this also a gift from our ancestors?"

"My son has never seen such a lightweight tent before!"

Song and Xu followed behind, saying, "This is wonderful! With this, we won't have to get soaked in the snow and wind at night!"

The Lu clan members were overjoyed. "Our ancestors were so kind! Besides food, they even provided shelter. This is a real treasure."

"It's a pity there's only one." Someone sighed. One person can only accommodate a limited number of people, but there are dozens of them.

Most people still have to suffer in the cold outside.

While eating instant noodles, Lu Yang chuckled, "Let the women and children stay here. We men can withstand the cold, and we also have warm clothes bestowed by our ancestors. What's there to be afraid of?"

He was wearing thermal underwear and a down jacket, eating hot instant noodles, and even felt a little hot!

The others echoed Lu Yang's words, "Second Master is right, let's keep watch outside!"

Even if they can't live in it themselves, their wives and children will be happy to have it!

Just then, Gu Xingzhao teleported six more tents over, which landed on the ground in front of everyone with a "thud," startling them.

"This is this?"

Lu Qing strode over, coughed twice, and said, "Our ancestors sent over a few more. You young people, come and do what I say, and make this place work."

Lu Xingyao rolled up his sleeves, and the eyes of the clansmen around him lit up, all volunteering to help set up the tent.

They wanted to share in the blessings bestowed by the gods, hoping to receive some good fortune in return!
With smiles on their faces, they listened to the old man's words, slowly opened the tent, stood it on the ground, and then tied it with ropes to secure it in place so that the tent would not be blown away by the wind and snow.

It was the first time we'd ever used this thing, and we'd never seen it before, so we needed to figure it out carefully. The actual operation was a bit slow, but it was still simple overall.

The Liu family members nearby also came over to help. As the tent took shape, they couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "I have never seen such a lightweight tent before. It is truly a marvel!"

Lu Youtang and the other younger children went into the tent first. The cold wind and snow were kept out, and the tent was warm and cozy. The boys rolled around inside, laughing out loud. The adults around them watched and were happy too.

The place was filled with joy and excitement.

By the dim light of the fire, the other prisoners watching from a distance felt a pang of bitterness welling up inside them.

Just now they smelled the aroma of food. There was clearly no food to cook here, and it was a desolate wilderness for miles around. They wondered what the Lu family was eating, but it made them all very hungry.

The more I thought about it, the craving became; tears of envy almost welled up in my eyes.

I don't understand how the Lu family is so lucky. For decades, they had an old man who was a Grand Secretary of the Imperial Court, with immense power and influence, and was respected by the whole country. Now that they have offended the emperor, the whole family has been exiled, and even the gods are rushing to send them gifts.

The Lu family seems to have gotten all the good things in the world!
Some people secretly thought that the Lu family's smugness wouldn't last long. They were so arrogant that even the officials wouldn't have the good fortune to make things easy for them.
Lu Qing was exiled here because he became too arrogant after becoming a Grand Secretary and even dared to interfere with the Emperor.

And what about the emperor? If he finds out about this, what good will happen to Lu and his gang?
It's only a matter of time before the Lu family is wiped out.

Gu Xingzhao watched the Lu family laugh for a while. Just a few tents were enough to make them so happy. The New Year atmosphere was really good, more lively than any New Year she had ever experienced before.

She took a garbage bag and gloves out of her pocket, got up to clean up the instant noodle container and other trash, and thought to herself, "Although the old man is old, his learning ability is still quite good. He is much smarter than these young people. He only watched me do it once and he already knows everything."

Indeed, there are differences in people's minds.

At this moment, Lu Xingyao had just successfully set up a tent and was about to lie down inside to enjoy the good things sent by his ancestors when Lu Qing ordered him to deliver two more tents to the officials.

The person next to him had already lain down and let out a comfortable sigh, "Finally, I can get a good night's sleep tonight!"

As she spoke, she gave Lu Xingyao a smug look.

Lu Xingyao's face darkened. Reluctantly, he picked up the two tents and walked away as his tribesmen watched him go.

At this moment, the officials noticed the commotion at the Lu family's residence from afar. When they saw that the family had even set up tents, they felt uneasy and all looked at Du Hangwu.

The junior officer curled his lip. "Boss, we don't even have a place to live, are we just going to let those people from the Lu family do as they please?"

Du Hangwu remained silent, only glancing at the Lu family a couple more times. "That deity from the Lu family is incredibly powerful. Do you dare to provoke him?"

Mortals need to wield blades, but gods can kill countless people without using a single weapon. The Lu family is also protected by the gods, so anyone with a brain would know what to do.

The minor official thought to himself, "Since you're wearing the treasures given to you by the Lu family, I naturally won't provoke you. Earlier, I even saw Du Hangwu secretly eating the things that the Lu family gave him."

However, he only dared to grumble about these things in his heart, not daring to say them out loud, for fear of ending up like Li Si.

The officials watched helplessly as the Lu family members set up tents one after another and moved in. They felt that the wind was unusually cold and the snow was unusually heavy tonight, making them shiver with cold.

Just then, Lu Xingyao came over carrying two tents.

Seeing him approach, the officers who had been feeling displeased were secretly excited, especially when they saw that he was carrying a very large object. However, they had to pretend to be calm on the surface.

Lu Xingyao couldn't bear to look at their feigned death: "My lords, the wind and snow are heavy tonight. My grandfather ordered me to come and deliver two tents to protect you from the wind and snow."
