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

On the sixth day of the tenth lunar month, Wang Bai started his busy day early in the morning.

They were about to return to Chang'an, and Chen Huai'an had other plans, so there were quite a few things to prepare.

The villagers of Chenjiazhuang spontaneously came to help. Chen Boshan led Chen Hao and the others to pack things, while Chen Shanxing was feeding the horses.

Chen Youde looked at Chen Huai'an as he walked out, and gripped his cane tightly: "Huai'an, are you leaving?"

"I have to go," Chen Huai'an said with some melancholy. "There are still many things waiting for me in Chang'an, and I can't stay any longer."

"Uncle Youde, after I leave, I'll leave Chenjiazhuang to you."

"Don't worry." Chen Youde sighed, then smiled. "You really shouldn't stay here. Chang'an is where you can truly shine."

"Go back now, we'll be watching your news regularly in the morning newspapers."

"Uncle Big Dog, I'm going back now." Xiao He waved happily to Chen Hao. During this time, she had already become familiar with the villagers of Chenjiazhuang.

Especially after learning about the little girl's past experiences, everyone in Chenjiazhuang doted on her and always thought of her when they had something good.

Chen Hao's face darkened for a moment: "How many times have I told you, you have to call me Uncle Hao, not Uncle Big Dog?"

Why don't you call your uncle "Second Brother Uncle"?

"Isn't it because I'm afraid of getting beaten?" Xiaohe said matter-of-factly, "I'm not stupid, Uncle can beat me anytime."

Chen Hao: "..."

"Hahaha, Xiao He is so smart!" Chen Mugen laughed. He really liked the little guy.

"Alright, alright, let's go." Chen Huai'an saw that Feng Qiao'er and the others had almost finished packing, so he let them get into the carriage first.

Leaving wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision, so I had almost finished packing and just needed to put my things away.

With so many people helping, it was all done in no time.

Chen Huai'an looked back at his little house, feeling a little reluctant to leave: "Everyone, after I leave, I'll leave this place in your care."

"The old house was demolished, and a new courtyard was built for me on the same spot. I put all the money I needed with Uncle Youde."

"You don't need to worry about these things," Chen Boshan waved his hand and said, "Go back and relax, leave this to us."

"I promise I'll give you back a big courtyard when I come back next time."

"Alright." Chen Huai'an nodded with a smile, stepped onto the carriage, and turned back to the crowd who had come to see him off, saying, "Take care, everyone!"

"Huai'an, be careful on your journey!" Chen Boshan couldn't help but shout.

Chen Hao said with some reluctance, "When your child is born, you must tell me. I will represent all the villagers of Chenjiazhuang to congratulate you!"

"Huai'an, be careful on the road, and remember to come back often," Chen Shanxing said, waving goodbye with red eyes.

She is not a very talkative person to begin with, so it is already quite remarkable that she was able to say something like that.

"Everyone, go back now, I'm leaving."

Chen Huai'an looked around at everyone and reluctantly entered the carriage.

"Let's go," Wang Bai called out, leading the way as the car slowly started moving.

Chen Boshan and the others followed behind, wanting to see him off.

"With Erwa gone, the village has lost a lot of its fun," Chen Mugen said with a sigh.

Chen Hao shrugged: "Father, we can't possibly leave Huai'an here, can we? He holds a high position, and the entire Tang Dynasty's projects and finances are on his shoulders."

"We are already lucky that they have taken so much time out of their lives and done so much for us."

Chen Mugen said irritably, "When did I say I wanted to stay in Huai'an? You know the drill, don't you think your old man doesn't?"

"But..." he clicked his tongue, sighing, "I wonder when Huai'an will be back next time he leaves."

"Perhaps many years later, his child will be able to run all over the village, just like Xiao He?"

"It's alright!" Chen Hao said nonchalantly, "Huai'an is busy, but we can always go to Chang'an to find him!"

"We didn't even get to drink a drop of wine at his wedding. When his child is born next time, we'll definitely send someone over."

"Okay, let's do it this way!" Chen Mugen agreed wholeheartedly. "Huai'an left us more than fifty cattle, every household received a curved plow, purchased a large amount of farmland to distribute to the village, and even left so much money in the ancestral hall for us to use in case of emergency."

"If his child is born, it's really unreasonable that we can't even send someone to help!"

Chen Huai'an did indeed only manage to buy about twenty head of cattle at first, but over such a long period of time, he had already sent people to distant places to buy them all back.

They also purchased a lot of farmland and left it under the estate.

"That's not all." Chen Hao turned to look at Chen Youde and whispered, "I heard that Huai'an left behind a lot of grain and taught Uncle Youde a lot of methods for the future development of Chen Family Village."

"I heard about this from Uncle Boshan."

Chen Mugen fell silent. After a while, he sighed and said, "We owe Huai'an too much."

Chen Boshan shook his head: "He doesn't think we owe him anything. In fact, there's no need to be so clear about it. We all have the surname Chen and belong to the same clan."

"Don't say these things again, Huai'an might not be happy to hear them."

Chen Mugen paused for a moment, then said, "I wonder what we can do for Huai'an? We can't just sit back and reap the benefits, can we?"

Chen Boshan pondered for a moment and said, "I actually have an idea. Huai'an has done a lot not only for our Chenjiazhuang, but also for the county."

"How about we erect a statue for Huai'an?"

"Huh?" Chen Hao was completely confused. "Is this appropriate?"

"Whether it's appropriate or not, I'm not sure," Chen Boshan said hesitantly. "I don't know if there are any special considerations involved. I'm afraid I'll have to ask everyone and discuss it with the magistrate."

"However, logically speaking, since our county has produced a figure like Huai'an, there shouldn't be any problem in erecting a statue of him."

"Uncle Youde, what do you think?" Chen Hao asked immediately.

Supported by Chen Shanxing, Chen Youde pondered for a moment upon hearing this and said, "I don't know the specifics. There might be some taboos. I'll ask the magistrate later."

"If he has no objections, then let's do it this way!"

"He shouldn't have any objections," Chen Boshan said confidently. "The magistrate is eager to use Huai'an's name, how could he possibly have any objections?"

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore, we're leaving the village." Chen Mugen interrupted their conversation, as the convoy had already left the village and was getting faster and faster.

Everyone stopped and watched Chen Huai'an leave in silence.

In the past, when Chen Huai'an first left Chenjiazhuang for a long journey, everyone was filled with anticipation and trepidation.

We hope that this prodigy, on whom everyone has placed all their hopes since childhood, can rise to great heights and revive the glory of the Chen family.

Everyone was worried that he might encounter some danger, suffer injustice, or face insurmountable difficulties on his long journey.

He has now accomplished all of that.

The name Chen Huai'an has already resounded throughout the entire Tang Dynasty!

It became a name that no one could ignore!

His triumphant return to his hometown brought about tremendous changes to Chenjiazhuang and Wanqiu County, laying the foundation for their rise.

Now that he has embarked on another long journey, the people of Chenjiazhuang feel only blessings and pride.

His glory will continue, and his name will continue to shine.
