Chapter 99 Returning Home in Glory

The marching speed was much faster than Pei Donglai's escort from Pei Xuan to Dongdu. Although there were a lot of food and grass to carry, the cyclists and riders accelerated.

Another important point in the remnants of Beiyan assassination of the emperor in Nanshan was to create riots. Even if the assassination failed, the situation in Beiyan should be becoming more and more urgent. Therefore, the Marquis of Qishan issued a military order and had to rush to Beiyan at full speed.

Along the way, when the Marquis of Qishan talked the most, he analyzed the situation in Beiyan with Pei Donglai.

"Mingsheng must first stabilize the morale of the army this time and should not act rashly. He has occupied the seven states, which is enough to use this as a backing. The war will not affect the people on the frontiers, we can act according to our plan!"

"It should be time to go back to my hometown to worship my mother first!"

Cang Sheng had already known Pei Donglai's life experience. Now that Pei Donglai's mother has been named a sixth-rank An people, as a son, she must go back to her hometown to worship her mother first. And she has enfeoffed a mountain forest, so she should make arrangements.

Seeing Pei Donglai nodding, Cang Sheng suddenly smiled: "Anyway, the army will pass through Donglin Mansion, which is not far from Beiyan. I will accompany you back to your hometown!"

"Huh?" Pei Donglai looked at Cang Sheng in a little surprised, and then smiled: "Then Donglai should do the best of the landlords."

In a sense, the Marquis of Qishan accompanied him back to his hometown to strengthen his momentum.

I returned home in glory, but my mother had no more time to meet!

Recalling his mother's voice, appearance, and smile, Pei Donglai couldn't help but feel a little dim.

—

A welcoming pavilion was set up on the official road outside Donglin Mansion in one day. This time, not only the little marquis of Yanyun Hou Mansion came back, but also the marquis of Qishan Hou came together.

This is a great honor for the small Donglin Mansion.

In particular, the Marquis of Qishan would temporarily release the situation in Northern Yan and accompany the young Marquis of Yanyun Hou Mansion to return to his hometown to worship his mother. Many of the information in this can be seen by these old fried dough sticks in the officialdom.

"Mr. Wang, how did the Li family handle it?"

"Master, the Li family's businessman has announced many evil deeds. All the ill-gotten wealth has been confiscated, and all the evil servants in the mansion have been sentenced!" Wang County Magistrate bowed and replied, with a slight sweat on his forehead.

Who would have expected that Pei Donglai would be the illegitimate son of Yanyunhou, so when the news came back to Donglin Mansion, County Magistrate Wang had already made a quick decision and uprooted the Li Mansion. Fortunately, the matter between the Li Mansion, he did not listen to the resoluteness of Zuo Juxing. Otherwise, he might have been dismissed and beheaded by the prefect at this moment!

The prefect nodded with a solemn expression: "That's good. As a parent official in the county, I should be more careful. I don't want such a thing to happen next time."

"I understand!"

...

"Pei Donglai is the magical power of our Donglin Mansion. I'll tell you how could an ordinary family come up with such a powerful child!"

"Of course, can Yan Yunhou's son be average!"

"Some time ago, a cargo merchant came back from Dongdu and said that he was so majestic. His poetry and prose were famous, and he said that he was better than Daolin Gong—"

"It's so amazing!"

"Awesome! The Li family got into trouble with him. No wonder he was uprooted by the magistrate of Wang. If this little marquis was in a bad mood, maybe Wang's magistrate would have to be in danger-"

The gentry who followed the local officials to greet each other were talking, and they were already well-known for Pei Donglai's name. However, Pei Donglai at that time was just a child prodigy.

No one has ever noticed it, and he did not expect that he would be the son of Yan Yunhou.

Boom-

A rapid sound of horse hooves began to sound, and all the gentry looked respectful. The prefect, the county magistrate and other officials also sorted out their clothes and hats.

If it were just a young marquis of Yanyun Hou Mansion who returned to his hometown to worship his mother, there would be no need for such a big show.

But if the general of Zhenbei and the Marquis of Qishan arrived in person, that would be a different matter.

The army had already traveled separately from the Hou Qishan and the others, and the food and supplies were escorted to Beiyan. Hou Junji and Lu Tao and the others also followed the army.

Only the Marquis of Qishan led his personal soldiers to accompany Pei Donglai to Donglin Mansion.

The black-armored iron cavalry, the personal guards opened the way. A corner of the banner of the Marquis of Qishan had appeared.

The wind is blowing, and dust is everywhere.

When two white figures appeared among the black-armored iron cavalry, the prefect quickly led the magistrate and others forward: "Welcome to the Marquis of Qishan!"

Cang Sheng stopped at the horse and nodded, "You are kind to me, you are here. I will accompany Donglai to the hometown to worship my mother. In the future, I will be slandering again-"

The cold tone is not to be questioned. The meaning revealed in the words is already very obvious. During this trip, the Marquis of Qishan was just simply accompanying the Marquis back to his hometown to worship his mother.

The gentry on both sides of the official road looked at each other. This was the first time they saw the famous Marquis of Qishan. A dignified Marquis actually accompanied the illegitimate son of Yanyun Hou Mansion to return to his hometown to worship his mother.

For a moment, Pei Donglai's mystery was once again curious.

"Mr. Wang County, you will accompany the general and the little marquis back to your hometown." The prefect quickly instructed and ordered the messengers on both sides to clear the official road and make way.

Pei Donglai did not say a word and rode his horse with the Marquis of Qishan.

Without any extra words, County Magistrate Wang had no chance to speak at this time. He quickly returned to the sedan chair and followed the Qishan Hou and the others who were leaving.

—

"My mother, the unfilial son is coming to see you!"

In the tomb, Pei Donglai's mother's tomb has been repaired to a very luxurious level. The huge stone tablet is surrounded by a short wall. Pei Donglai turned over and dismounted and knelt in front of the tomb.

The cold black armored guards guarded both sides, and the cold eyes of the Hou of Qishan were subtle and softer. He knew everything about Pei Donglai. Compared with the two, there was no more miserable one. However, this kind of relationship was the same. Since his childhood, his ancestors and fathers have all died on the battlefield, and they were covered with corpses. The mother at home often shed tears secretly when she was a child.

He was a marquis when he was young, but his mother finally failed to see him.

When he looked at Pei Donglai again, he was also sad.

The whole village was surrounded by the grave mountain at this moment. County Magistrate Wang was also standing not far away with anxiety, and the case was finally judged by him.

I wonder if this little marquis will attack him.

Holding a stick of incense in hand, Cang Sheng respectfully bowed to Pei Donglai's mother: "Madam is righteous and teaches her children well. Sheng, respect him!"

This time, as long as there are no mistakes in pacifying Northern Yan, it is not difficult to recover the remaining nine provinces with Pei Donglai's strategy. Now, the Marquis of Qishan needs to start the layout.

After accompanying Pei Donglai to worship his mother, the Marquis of Qishan stepped forward and said, "Donglai to worship his mother, I will have a three-day holiday. See you again in the army in three days. Sheng will go back to the camp first!"

"If you have time, Mingzhen will give it to you!"

The two of them had a brotherly conversation, which attracted everyone to look at each other. One was the Marquis who held heavy troops, and the other was just the illegitimate son of the Hou Mansion.

Such a friendship will inevitably make people look at each other with admiration.

All the guards of Pei's mansion also burned incense under the leadership of Pei Xuan. To be precise, they are no longer people from Pei's mansion. But they are just private soldiers from Pei Donglai. Since this is the case, the people in the grave are indeed their mistress.

After a worship, Pei Donglai calmed down and greeted the village chief and the others.

The whole village looked at Pei Donglai with his big eyes open. This sick young man at the time was actually the son of the Marquis. This was something that no one expected.

When did they ever see such a big show, the biggest official is the current county magistrate who is a little helpless. But this time, they actually met the famous Marquis of Qishan.

It's unspeakable!

Hongxiu gave some gifts that had been prepared long ago to the villagers in the entire village. Everyone was smiling happily. Pei Donglai was definitely a lucky star for them.

"Mr. Wang!"

"Little Marquis——"

When talking to the county magistrate again, Pei Donglai could clearly notice the other party's nervousness.

With a smile, the world is like this. There is no unnecessary politeness. Pei Donglai just stretched out his hand: "Mr. Wang, if you have free time, you can talk to your residence."

Wuning County, Donglin Prefecture, is located on the border of Northern Yan, and this strategy requires the help of this county magistrate.

"I have free time! I have free time!" County Magistrate Wang responded quickly. Wasn't he just waiting for this opportunity to find a way to make up for the little marquis in front of him?

"please!"

"Please——"

...

"Little Marquis, this mountain forest was originally owned by the Li Mansion. However, the Li Mansion was not doing business properly and made huge profits. The mountain forest was just blocked, but he received an order from the court. He said that he would grant this mountain forest to the young Marquis. This was really God's will." On the way, the magistrate of Wang County began to explain to Pei Donglai: "This mountain forest is a treasure land of Fengshui, and the environment is elegant. A hundred acres of fertile land next to it is also a good income."

Pei Donglai nodded. He had also visited this mountain forest when he was a child. In addition to the hundred acres of fertile fields next to it, there are many wild and precious herbs in the mountains. It should be a considerable income to manage it well.

Now he is no longer alone, he needs industry to support his personal soldiers. And if he wants to develop his power, he will inevitably need a larger family business.

The eight major families, as well as wealthy families in various places, are not large in industries and forming chains. In addition to the princes and princes in the palace, their private soldiers and staff, they all need money.

The mansion in the mountains and forests has begun to be repaired, but the time is still short. Several small houses next to it have been built and become temporary residences.

Hongxiu and the others had already prepared everything, and the study room and other study were all fully arranged.

"Mr. Wang County Magistrate, if military camps were implemented in Wuning County, how much arable land would be there?"

"Yeah?" Wang County Magistrate was stunned and his mind was turned rapidly: "Military station!? Will Qishan Hou implement military station?"

Seeing Pei Donglai silent, County Magistrate Wang quickly followed: "Wunning County has a sparse population and is surrounded by wastelands. Not only that, but the entire Donglin Prefecture is also the case. If military camps are implemented, arable land will not be a problem at all."
