My cultivation techniques can be infinitely fused.

Lu Kun walked very quickly. After entering the city, the caravan manager finally couldn't help but approach him: "Sir, where shall we stay tonight?"

The northern Xinjiang region is extremely cold in winter, and they arrived in the city late.

Now it's impossible to find even a suitable inn.

After all, since the imperial court ordered the closure of the checkpoints recently, many merchants from the northern frontier have come to try to find connections to get their goods out.

As one of the fortresses, Fufeng County naturally attracted many people to settle there.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Kun said, "Let's go to Miss's house. Her courtyard is big enough that we should be able to stay there."

The steward, clearly aware of the Lu family's situation, cautiously asked, "Won't having so many of us cause trouble for Miss?"

After all, Lu Wan didn't have a high status in her in-laws' family, which was something everyone in Lu Kun's family knew.

Even when Lu Kun came over, he received plenty of disdainful looks.

With so many people crowding through, it's no wonder people aren't giving them a friendly look.

Lu Kun smiled wryly and said, "Do you think I don't know? But we can't all live on the streets if we don't have a place to stay."

He then realized that he had left in too haste.

We missed our lodging, and now we're in trouble with our daughter even after we get to the city.

The manager remained silent, only ordering the caravan to follow Lu Kun toward the Zhao family.

When the group stopped outside the Zhao family's door, Lu Kun gritted his teeth and went forward to knock on the door.

"Bang bang bang!"

After the door was knocked on, a slightly impatient voice came from inside: "Coming, coming, who is it that's knocking so late at night? The master is entertaining distinguished guests."

"Crunch."

As the gate opened.

By the dim light of the torch, upon seeing the face of the person outside the door, the servant hurriedly said, "It's our lord, please come in quickly."

Lu Kun shook his head: "I came here with a caravan this time and missed our accommodation. We'll stay here for the night. You should tell your young mistress first and ask her to inquire with your master if it's convenient for him."

He didn't go in directly, but instead had his daughter ask first, to avoid any awkwardness for everyone later.

The servants guarding the gate naturally dared not neglect their duties and immediately ran inside.

By this time, Lu Zheng, Zhao Xin, and his brother-in-law Zhao Ben had drunk quite a bit.

After drinking three jars of wine, Zhao Xin was now walking unsteadily.

He was genuinely happy today, because the problem that had been troubling him for some time had been easily solved by Lu Zheng.

He also gained face in front of his colleagues.

  

Therefore, he never refuses any of the drinks offered on the table.

"Da da!"

Just then, crisp footsteps rang out.

Then, the gatekeeper came in.

Upon seeing him, the drunken Zhao Xin frowned and said, "What happened? Why are you being so rude?"

"Master, it's my in-laws who brought a merchant caravan to Fufeng. They missed their lodging and asked me to ask the young mistress if she could stay at our house tonight." The servant had barely finished speaking when...

"Bang!" Zhao Xin flung the wine glass out of his hand.

He roared, "Are you blind? Your father-in-law is here, what are you saying about whether he can stay or not? He should be staying here. Hurry up and invite him in!" Zhao Xin glanced at Lu Zheng and reacted very quickly.

However, she immediately stood up and said, "Go and have someone tidy up the house. I'll go and greet them myself."

After saying that, he walked out.

When Lu Zheng heard that his second uncle had arrived, he quickly got up.

Although he was his second uncle, the other person held a very important place in his heart.

Seeing that he had moved, Zhang also pulled Lu Wan and Zhao Ben to leave.

In no time, everyone at the banquet left.

At this moment, Lu Kun was unaware that Lu Zheng was also there. He planned to ask his daughter about Lu Zheng's situation after he saw her.

If there's really nothing wrong, go find the other person now.

Just as he was feeling anxious.

"Creak!"

The gate opened at that moment, and Zhao Xin, reeking of alcohol, stepped out first. He grabbed Lu Kun's hand and said, "The servants in my household are ignorant and have really neglected my father-in-law. Please come in."

This attitude caught Lu Kun off guard, as he had been here before.

Zhao Xin usually made excuses that he was too busy and they could only meet a few times.

Therefore, Lu Kun had no choice but to accept it.

Who can blame them when the two kids fell in love?

Lu Wan once accompanied him to Fufeng. On the way, they encountered bandits, but they happened to meet Zhao Ben. Together with the caravan, they drove the bandits away.

After staying in Fufeng for a few days, Lu Kun discovered that his daughter had been kidnapped by Zhao Ben.

Not long after returning home, Zhao Ben sent someone to propose marriage.

Seeing that his daughter was willing, Lu Kun did not stop her.

Otherwise, given his temperament, he wouldn't be willing to marry above his station. His family isn't short of money; he could simply find a son-in-law to live with him.

Therefore, even when he came to Fufeng in the past, he rarely entered the Zhao family's house.

Usually, it's just to see my daughter.

Just as Lu Kun was wondering why Zhao Xin was acting this way this time.

A familiar figure appeared nearby, which excited Lu Kun.

"Second Uncle," Lu Zheng said softly.

When Lu Kun turned his head and saw his nephew, his eyes instantly reddened.

At this moment, Zhao Xin also let go.

Lu Kun stepped forward and held Lu Zheng in his arms, saying, "Ah Zheng, I'm so glad you're alright. These past few days have scared your second uncle to death."

Lu Zheng felt a warmth in his heart: "Second Uncle, I was rescued back then, and I'm doing well now. My sister takes very good care of me, and we're all doing well."

Zhao Xin realized at this moment that Lu Zheng and Lu Kun were truly like father and son.

He quickly replied, "Yes, A-Zheng is fine. It's cold outside, come inside with me first."

Then, he turned to the steward and said, "Call in all the Lu family men from the merchant caravan outside, feed the horses hay, boil a big pot of ginger soup to warm them up, and prepare some food. Make sure everyone is settled in."

"Yes, sir," the butler replied hastily.

At this moment, Zhao Xin also pulled Lu Kun into the backyard living room.

The food on the table had gone cold.

Zhao Xin waved his hand and ordered the kitchen to prepare a new table.

Lu Kun quickly waved his hand and said he didn't need it, but he still couldn't argue with Zhao Xin.

Now is the time for him to show off in front of Lu Zheng, so how can he be afraid of trouble?

After everyone was seated, Zhang personally poured Lu Kun a cup of hot tea.

At this moment, the latter was somewhat stunned. He never expected that the Zhao family would be so enthusiastic this time.

It made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"Father, why did you come so urgently? Did something happen?" Lu Wan asked softly.

"You silly girl, you only said that A-Zheng was fine, but you didn't explain what happened. I thought you were lying to me. It just so happened that the goods at the border couldn't get out, so you brought people over by yourself."

One reason was to confirm whether Ah Zheng was alright, and the other was to see if they could get this guy out of there.

After saying that, he looked at Zhao Xin.

Now that he was sure Lu Zheng was alright, he felt relieved, and then it was time to deal with the caravan.
