My cultivation techniques can be infinitely fused.

The butler responded and then withdrew.

When he reappeared, he was accompanied by someone, who was naturally Lu Xiong.

As soon as he entered, he clasped his hands in a fist salute to Zhao Xin, his attitude very polite.

Then his gaze fell on Lu Kun: "Who do you want me to see?"

Throughout the entire process, Lu Zheng was never revealed. Of course, this was largely due to Lu Zheng's recent physical changes and changes in his clothing. However, even so, the fact that his father did not recognize his son upon entering the house was enough to show that he did not care about Lu Zheng.

Otherwise, it would never have been like this.

At this moment, Lu Kun was so angry that his lips were trembling. He pointed at Lu Xiong and said, "You came in and didn't even acknowledge your own son. You only asked me who I was seeing. Is business more important than your son?"

Lu Xiong frowned. Son? Wasn't Lu Yun cultivating at the academy? How come he's here?

Then, their gaze fell on the only young man in the room.

This sight surprised him, and he stepped forward, asking, "Ah Zheng, you...you're alright?"

Clearly, seeing Lu Zheng again stirred a ripple in his heart, but he quickly regained his composure and said with some displeasure, "Since you're alright, why didn't you tell your family? I thought..."

"You thought I was dead, so you didn't even bother to look for me," Lu Zheng interrupted Lu Xiong.

His eyes were filled with indifference.

Lu Xiong seemed to sense his son's attitude and knew that he was indeed in the wrong, so he interrupted and looked at Lu Kun beside him and said, "You asked me to come here today because you wanted to see a big shot. If he agreed, my caravan could leave the pass, right?"

Let's get down to business first.

Clearly, in his view, finding his son was not the most important thing.

Lu Kun glanced coldly at his elder brother and then said, "You don't know yet, do you? A-Zheng is now the commander of the Hundred Cavalry Division, which is the big shot you mentioned."

With just a word from him, not only can one caravan leave the city, but ten caravans can do it without any problem.

"That's impossible!" Lu Xiong exclaimed, his voice rising slightly at this moment.

  

Lu Kun said slowly, "How is it? Do you regret it now that this son you didn't think much of is in a high position? If you had known this would happen, you would have been fairer to A-Zheng back then, and things wouldn't have come to this."

At this moment, Lu Xiong still seemed somewhat skeptical.

Zhao Xin slowly said, "Brother Lu, I can testify to this. A-Ming is remarkable now. In a short period of time, he has been promoted to the position of Chief of the Hundred Cavalry Division and is the most trusted confidant of the centurion."

The higher-ups in Fufeng all know about this, so we have no reason to lie to you.

His words caused Lu Xiong's expression to change, and this time he completely believed him.

After all, the other party was a centurion, which was already a high-ranking official in his eyes, so there was no need for him to lie to him.

He looked at Lu Zheng and noticed that the other's expression was becoming increasingly cold and stern. He hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not say anything.

He turned and walked outside.

At that moment, Lu Zheng slowly stood up: "From now on, I have no concern for my family whatsoever. I only have my second uncle, not my father. You all better take care of yourselves."

His voice wasn't loud, but every word reached Lu Xiong's ears.

His face was extremely pale, but he didn't turn around. He paused for a moment before continuing to walk forward.

Does he regret it? Perhaps he does, but today he's mostly filled with rage and shame.

He was furious that Lu Zheng hadn't told him all this sooner.

If he had said so earlier, why would he have come to Lu Kun to be humiliated?

She was even more furious at Lu Zheng's indifference towards her, while he treated Lu Kun better than she did.

Although he wanted to make money, he ultimately couldn't bring himself to ask Lu Zheng for help.

After watching Lu Xiong leave.

Lu Kun patted Lu Zheng on the shoulder and said, "Don't overthink it. Let's have a drink today. Uncle should be going back tomorrow."

"Are we still using caravans this year?" Lu Zheng asked, looking up.

"Let's go. Although it's almost the end of the year, other caravans can't leave the border, but ours can. Let's make as much money as possible during this time," Lu Kun said.

Although he only has one daughter, and Lu Wan is already married and living a good life.

However, Lu Kun still thought that since his nephew was not married, and with Lu Zheng's abilities, he certainly couldn't marry a girl from an ordinary family. He wanted to take advantage of his remaining abilities to earn more money to save for Lu Zheng.

Lu Kun's wife died early, and he and his daughter had always depended on each other for survival.

In order not to let Lu Wan suffer any injustice, he never remarried.

However, I went to the brothels quite often.

But those who know them well understand.

"Second Uncle, if you want to make money, then make it. But next time, you shouldn't go with the caravan. Just let the manager handle it. With me here to take care of things, nothing will go wrong," Lu Ming said.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. But I'll come over again before the New Year to bring you and your sister some New Year's gifts," Lu Kun said after taking a sip of his wine.

"I'll listen to my second uncle." Lu Ming nodded.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Lu Xiong was furious. He had thought Lu Zheng was dead, but he never expected him to go to the Hundred Cavalry Division.

Although he did feel it was inappropriate to handle Lu Zheng's matter.

But this kid is too resolute; he actually wants to sever ties with me.

Realizing he wouldn't be able to leave the pass and would have to return to the inn, he said to the caravan manager, "Let's go, leave immediately, to Huifengling County."

"Master, what about leaving the pass...?"

"Afraid of not being able to leave the pass because you have money? If you can't leave Fufeng, just take a detour through Huangsha County. Do you think a living person will die from holding in their pee?" Lu Xiong interrupted the steward impatiently and then walked outside.

At this moment, he also felt some resentment towards his current wife. If she hadn't whispered in his ear back then, insisting that Lu Yun take Lu Zheng's place at Lingyuan Academy, this situation wouldn't have happened.

A son who worked in the Hundred Cavalry Division was thus forcibly forced out of his home.

When we get back, we'll definitely teach that woman a lesson.

After the caravan was made up, Lu Xiong sat on his horse and headed towards Fengling County.

Lu Zheng's drinking session didn't end until the evening.

Zhao Xin was in charge of the city gates tonight, so he and Lu Zheng went out together.

The two headed straight for the city gate, and as soon as they arrived, they saw He Yun standing on the city wall. He grinned at Lu Zheng and said, "Lord Lu, I knew you were coming today, and I didn't know there was anything I could do to help, so I just roasted a lamb on the city wall."

Come and have a taste with Zhao Xin.

Yesterday, He Yun single-handedly took half of the silver from the border army, and now he practically regards Lu Zheng as a god.

Before dawn, they had already roasted mutton in the pavilion on the city wall, just waiting for Lu Zheng to arrive so he could have a hot meal.

He knew that people wouldn't care about money, so he could only offer a token gesture.

At this moment, Zhao Xin couldn't help but blink. He realized that this captain, who usually had thick eyebrows and big eyes, was actually someone who was afraid of flattery.

"Alright, then I'll learn from Brother He's skills." The caravans that passed by in the first half of the night were mostly from aristocratic families, so Lu Zheng didn't need to inspect them personally and went straight up to the city wall.

And while they were eating meat and drinking alcohol.

As time went by, it got late at night.

The caravans that had paid their tribute of silver began to head towards the city gate.

The Tianluo Sect's caravan happened to be among them.

The things they were transporting were all covered in silk.

Below are several rolls of cowhide.

It usually happens during rainy or snowy weather, covering the goods.

It was no different from any other caravan.
