The immortal of the Tang Dynasty, but the game starts at Xuanwu Gate?

Chen Huai'an went straight to the Ministry of Revenue and summoned the people from the Ministry of Works.

He's leaving, and a lot of preparations need to be made in advance.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui already held multiple positions, which was enough to help him stabilize the overall situation, but they still had to prepare many trivial matters themselves.

For two whole days, Chen Huai'an was busy arranging various things.

Chen Sujin and the others at home were also busy, but they were busy preparing things and recruiting a group of guards.

Five days later, Chen Huai'an got up very early, washed up, and went to have breakfast.

They're leaving early this morning.

Wang Bai and Yunyan led their people to make preparations. At the dinner table, Xiao He excitedly asked, "Uncle, what's our hometown like?"

"When will we be able to get back to our hometown?"

"Also, won't we pass through many places along the way and see many beautiful things?"

The little guy kept asking all sorts of questions, he was overjoyed.

Chen Sujin couldn't take it anymore and tapped her on the head: "Can't you eat properly? We're leaving soon, and if you complain of being hungry on the way, I won't listen to you."

Xiao He covered her head with both hands, which were just short enough to cover her head, making her look especially cute. She said with a pitiful expression, "But I was just curious, wasn't I?"

Chen Huai'an chuckled and said, "Xiulian is indeed tough as nails. As for what her hometown is like... you'll find out when you get there."

"The journey will be tiring, so just don't complain about being tired."

Xiao He immediately tilted her chin up and said, "No way, Xiao He isn't afraid of getting tired."

Chen Huai'an paused, his hand holding the food in his chopsticks. He thought of how Xiao He had followed Chen Sujin through so many years of hardship and wandering, and fell silent for a moment.

Chen Sujin didn't care what he thought, and glared at him, saying, "What Xiulian? You two have gone too far, haven't you?"

"If I ever hear those names again, you two will be in big trouble."

Xiao He shrank back and remained silent.

Chen Huai'an said with a smile, "Sister, when we get back, guess whether the elders will call you Su Jin or Xiu Ya?"

Chen Sujin: "..."

"...You don't need to care whether they call me Su Jin or Xiu Ya. Before that, you should worry about yourself. I have a feeling you'll beg for mercy right away, do you believe me?"

Chen Huai'an fell silent and buried his head in his food.

Feng Qiao'er laughed. The two were exactly alike. No wonder Chen Sujin always said that Chen Huai'an had corrupted Xiao He.

Chen Sujin snorted coldly and continued eating.

She was always easy to talk to Chen Huai'an, but she just couldn't control her temper when it came to the name Chen Xiuya.

I feel ashamed every time I hear it.

After a while, the group finished breakfast, and Wang Bai came over to report: "Sir, Madam, everything is ready, and we can depart at any time."

"Alright, let's go." Chen Huai'an nodded slightly and led his family out of the Chen residence.

A convoy was parked outside, with three carriages in front and a lot of prepared goods and money behind.

He was surrounded by more than twenty guards, most of whom were veterans from the previous battlefield. They were all ruthless people who had seen blood, not just for show.

The carriage was also modified so that one could lie down and rest inside.

After all, the journey is long, and if you don't prepare, your bones will probably fall apart after a trip home.

"teacher!"

Suddenly, a loud shout came. Chen Huai'an was stunned for a moment, turned his head and saw Cheng Chumo and his two little brothers riding on horseback, waving excitedly at him.

"What brings you here?" Chen Huai'an asked with a smile as the three little ones ran over.

"We've come to see you off, sir," Cheng Chumo said matter-of-factly. "Your journey will likely take several months, so of course we'd like to see you off."

"You're so kind." Chen Huai'an's heart softened.

Although these three little guys are somewhat contrary to the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, they are otherwise flawless.

"That's right." Li Zhen patted his chest and said, "Sir, let's go, we'll see you out of Chang'an."

"Okay." Chen Huai'an did not refuse and nodded in agreement.

"Huai'an!" Just as he was about to get into the car, Mr. and Mrs. Feng Zhidai arrived.

He didn't say much, but just came over and patted Chen Huai'an on the shoulder: "Take care on your journey, we'll be waiting for you to come back in Chang'an."

"Don't worry, don't you know me?" Chen Huai'an nodded in agreement. "I will take good care of Qiao'er."

Feng Zhidai looked at Feng Qiao'er, who looked much better, and shook his head with a smile: "With you here, of course I'm not worried."

"Let me see you off."

Chen Huai'an hesitated for a moment, but still agreed.

He didn't want to refuse Feng Zhidai's kind offer.

Finally, Chen Huai'an glanced back at the gate of the Chen residence, his lips trembled slightly, and then a smile appeared on his face: "Let's go!"

"Let's go!"

Wang Bai called out, and Chen Huai'an and the others boarded the carriage. The three young brothers rode their horses in front, and the caravan gradually began to move.

Because they lived in the same neighborhood, and would pass by Wei Zheng's house on their way out, Chen Huai'an deliberately opened the carriage curtain at this moment to take a look.

Sure enough, Wei Zheng was standing at the door, with his hands behind his back.

"Hey, old country bumpkin, what are you doing here so early in the morning?" Chen Huai'an teased. "Playing the role of a door god here?"

Wei Zheng's face twitched, and he said calmly, "Where I am is none of your business. Why are you interfering with what I do?"

"Haha, Wei Zheng, I'm sure you'll still have a stubborn mouth even if you're burned to ashes." Chen Huai'an laughed heartily and exposed his thoughts without hesitation.

"Just say you want to give it to me, what are you pretending for? Arrogance is outdated."

Wei Zheng was speechless: "Would I send you, a starving ghost, as a gift?"

"Get out of here!"

"Hahahaha." Chen Huai'an laughed loudly, and his laughter gradually faded into the distance.

The convoy did not stop. Wei Zheng watched the convoy leave, a trace of reluctance flashing in his eyes.

In Chang'an, the only person he could call a close friend was Chen Huai'an.

Moreover, Wei Zheng always felt inexplicably at ease when Chen Huai'an was around, because he knew that although the two of them often bickered and insulted each other, they were also ruthless in trying to trick each other.

But if a real problem arises, the other party will definitely do everything they can to help him.

Now that he has suddenly left, Wei Zheng is indeed somewhat reluctant to see him go.

However, since the other party had only been away for a few months and was returning home in glory, Wei Zheng offered his blessings.

Many thoughts flashed through his mind. Recalling Chen Huai'an's unrestrained mockery at the end, Wei Zheng was speechless, shook his head, and turned to go home.

The convoy gradually drove out of Chang'an City and stopped outside the city.

Chen Huai'an lifted the carriage curtain and shouted to Cheng Chumo and the other two, as well as Feng Zhidai, "I'm leaving, go back now."

"Sir, please be careful on your journey." The three young brothers waved their hands.

Feng Zhidai waved and said, "Huai'an, take care on your journey."

"Okay." Chen Huai'an replied, gave the four people a deep look, and lowered the carriage curtain.

"..."
