Even though the wedding ceremony hadn’t been held yet, Muhammad had already promised Hening that he would give him the maximum freedom to the largest extent.

The life here, compared to the one in Qingmu, was much more cheerful though. The only boredom for him here would be that this place was without any ponds and that he wasn’t allowed to go fishing for entertainment. But that did not matter at all since he heard that the next aim Muhammad was about to conquer the most famous lake group in barbarians’ territory. At that time he could ask to get one from Muhammad.

Song Qinghan saw that Hening was still remaining his great calmness on face, he came to know that what Hening said was sincere. So he nodded subconsciously, and then kept having the porridge himself.

However, halfway through his eating, a burst of noise suddenly sounded outside the tent. And Song Qinghan could vaguely catch some information like ‘Master is coming back’ in his ears. At that moment, he paused suddenly as his hands lurched forward while the porridge almost spilled onto the quilt.

Did the Muhammad’s return mean… Wu Dahu came here as well?

Hening saw through Song Qinghan’s thought, and then he reached out to take over the bowl, and grap Song Qinghan’s wrist with the other hand while uttering in peace, “Go and check it out if you are eager to do so. Anyway the situation won’t be the worst at last.”

And then the two walked out of the tent together, and stopped when they reached the area where the cheer sounded.

Muhammad was right there in the center, still looking high-spirited and vigorous, and he was pointing at Wu Dahu who was standing right aside him as if he was making an introduction to the folks.

Song Qinghan was relieved at the moment he saw Wu Dahu standing there without obvious injuries. He could feel his shoulder loosened all at once as if a hefty stone was just getting unloaded inside him.

Yet at the same time he found something was odd. The quantity of the Qingmu subordinates who followed Wu Dahu in behind was considerably large that he couldn’t even count with his fingers. Besides, they seemed to be the ones Song Qinghan was familiar with. If he did not get it wrong, they were in fact the members who got involved in the accompanying team that day?

Hualian and Yuan Wenxuan followed up as well when they heard the burst. And in a great surprise, Hualian cried after he found there was a familiar man among the crowd, “Lusen!? How did he make it to come here?”

Lusen, who was gazing around, caught the glimpse of Hualian at the same time. He then got rid of the team and passed through the crowd, rushing quickly towards Hualian.

Noticing that the couple was greeting each other without words, Song Qinghan couldn’t help but come to ask even though he did not want to break the loving ambience, “Lusen, How did you make it to get involved in this team?”

While he was asking, he took a glance over the crowd. Well, it wouldn’t be a feasible way at this point to ask Wu Dahu because Wu Dahu was right now being ‘flattered’ by the master of the Empire Mu, so he could ask no one but Lusen instead.

Upon hearing the question, Lusen delivered a brightest smile, and he answered with his hands waving, “Lord Wu sent someone to get me informed and get me involved in the team. And at the moment I heard that all of you have already come here, I showed no hesitation myself to join this team without even packing my stuff at home. But I don’t even mind that at all since I believe we are able to earn all that back sooner or later…”

“But how is it possible,” Song Qinghan broke in with a smiling face as he found Lusen was about to show his great loyalty to Hualian, “that there are so many people escaping from there? They released you so easily?”

Lusen opened his eyes wide in shock, and then he asked out of curiosity, “Mistress, how do you know that we were chased by someone? Those people are all gathered under the management of Lord Wu, and they were already there when I arrived. Later on, we got a group of guard-like team to have our way blocked, and we had a fight against them. I admire Lord Wu so much, he is so powerful that he can beat five people at the same time alone.”

Even though Lusen stated in a relaxing tone, Song Qinghan knew it was indeed a perilous moment for them because he was aware of the power the cavalries got.

Seeing that Song Qinghan was lost in his sorrow, Lusen responded in confidence, “Mistress, we are all fine, and Lord Wu is fine as well. And we were really invincible fighting against those guys! We including these people in our team were brave enough to defeat those guards probably because they had staked their lives in this fight. It didn’t even take much strength of us to make the guards fail.”

Song Qinghan paused, and he finally figured out the background story of this event, he then nodded and answered, “I got it now, so happy that you all are fine. Go and get rest now.”

As soon as he finished his words, Muhammad, on the other side, released the crowd. And it was at that moment Wu Dahu caught the glimpse of Song Qinghan, and he walked directly over without hesitation.

Without waiting for Song Qinghan to speak, he came to utter and comfort while pulling Song Qinghan’s hands, “I’m fine and we are all fine. Although the cavalries came fast, they were not faster than us. And thanks to the Commander General for being lenient, it was indeed a smooth trip for us.”

Recalling the serious face the Commander General possessed, Song Qinghan couldn’t help but ask, “Will… Will the Commander General be incriminated because of us? What if…”

He paused again, worried. Even though the position of the Commander General was irreplaceable, the Emperor still had the superior right to implicate the nine generations of one’s family, let alone an inconspicuous position in his eyes.

In addition, the Commander General’s assistance was in fact exceeding Song Qinghan’s expectation. Now, it turned out that the majority of the citizens in Qingmu was in fact opposed to the Emperor’s atrocious decision to get his people killed.

Wu Dahu reached out to hold Song Qinghan on the shoulder, and pacified, “Don’t worry about that, and he will be all fine by turning a blind eye to the event. Those who want to accuse him of something will definitely fail to do so. Besides, there are few trusted and loyal manpower in the court within the palace, and no one will know whether the barbarian will set off another war again in the near future. So the Emperor is not going to trouble the Commander General for sure.”

Song Qinghan nodded thoughtfully, and the next moment he found the dark circles around Wu Dahu’s eyes. And hurriedly, he dragged Wu Dahu back to their tent so as to let Wu Dahu have a good rest after having a meal.

As for Hening, of course it would be not proper for him to go inside the tent together with the duo since he was now a namely queen of the Empire Mu. Even though Muhammad had personally given him much freedom as he wished, he still had to, as a responsible and virtuous femina man, try his best to be a decent noble in front of people.

When it came to Xiaofan, he was highly responsible and got his duty finished orderly distributing the tents to the rest of the newcomers even though he was still showing no credence on Muhammad. He was so responsible that he finished making everyone settle in a short while.

Another peaceful night passed fast. The next morning when Song Qinghan woke up, he found Wu Dahu was aside being in a great trance, and then he came to ask subconsciously, “What’s wrong?”

Wu Dahu lowered his head and looked into Song Qinghan’s eyes, reached out to help put up Song Qinghan’s several strings of messy hair to the back of his ears, while exclaiming, “Nothing, It exceeds my expectation and I am just still in a daze that we have become residents of Empire Mu so soon!”

Song Qinghan laughed suddenly as soon as he heard so. But then the tease quickly turned into the same sentiment just as Wu Dahu currently felt.

The current feeling for Wu Dahu, however, probably was like under the situation when Song Qinghan woke up and found himself transmigrated back then.

But soon Wu Dahu had succeeded adjusting his mood and attitude. After the morning wash, he suddenly uttered, “I heard from Muhammad that today is the day of land allotment, do you want to get involved in this event?”

Upon hearing that, Song Qinghan was utterly shocked, and he asked in confusion, “Land allotment? Do we have a share?”

Wu Dahu smiled slightly and used the clean handkerchief to help wipe Little Shitou’s face clean, and then he answered with confidence, “Sure we do have a share, we are about to get a life here in this area for a long time.”

As soon as Wu Dahu responded with that positive answer, nothing but excitement overwhelmed Song Qinghan in his mind. He was cheerful because he had never got himself involved in any events of land allotment before, and only through books did he learn that stuff.

Although the land on Empire Mu was not that fertile and only allowed people to pasture, the LAND itself was valuable enough! The ownership of a land meant a lot anyway, they could do whatever they wanted to do on it if that area was claimed to be theirs, even build their most desirable and dream residence by their own!

Song Qinghan was immersing into a great picture of that scenario right now while the smile on his face grew deeper as if there was already a magnificent villa in modern style with a spacious garden within constructing in his mind.
