Seeing that the situation was not right, Lan Ji directly rubbed oil on the soles of his feet and hid behind Lan Yuan not far away.
When Gan Qian called Adou to explain, Gao Yuan walked into the backyard and reminded her that it was time to go.
When everyone walked to the gate of the prefect's mansion, they saw Gao Shun and Gan Ning each driving a carriage waiting by the roadside, with an officer's army guarding them.
"Sister, please go back, kids, get in the car quickly." Lan Tian greeted.
After Lan Tian finished speaking, the children got into Gao Shun's carriage. Lu Lingqi actually waved to Gan Qian and followed Lan Yuan into the carriage.
Seeing Lan Tian's shocked look, Gan Qian knew that Lu Lingqi had not discussed it with him, so she explained with a smile: "My brothers and sisters were worried that you couldn't take care of so many children, so they went with us."
Lan Tian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You are helping me, how can you not control her? But it's good for her to go out to relax, I will stay on the plateau to protect the safety of the house."
"Ziyu, go in peace. My siblings have already made arrangements in the morning." Gan Qian replied with a smile.
Lan Tian grabbed the reins and mounted his mount, and set off for the north dock of the city together with Deng Ai. His father was originally going to go on a trip, but Lu Lingqi suddenly appeared before leaving. I don't know if it was God's will.
The children thought they could let themselves go, but as soon as Lu Lingqi entered the carriage, they all behaved themselves.
Lu Lingqi looked around and felt something was missing, so she pushed open the curtain and stuck her head out.
"Shi Zai, why did you get on the horse?" Lu Lingqi asked doubtfully, knowing that the original child king no longer rode in the car.
"Master...I've grown up..." Deng Ai explained.
"You are only fourteen years old..." Lu Lingqi asked in surprise.
Deng Ai is already the same height as Lu Lingqi. Although he is thinner, he has been on the battlefield. His immature face has a maturity rarely seen among his peers.
Because Deng Ai is a disciple of Lantian, he is still a child in Lu Lingqi's heart.
Gao Shun turned around and smiled. Lu Lingqi learned to ride a horse at the age of twelve. She met Lan Tian outside Xiaopei when she was fourteen. Now that she thinks about it, it only took a moment.
Lan Tian nodded and said: "If Shi Zai wants to ride a horse, let him ride it. However, the sword is sharpened too quickly and is easy to break. You can't rush for success, and I won't let you leave the army easily."
Deng Ai spoke awkwardly, but he was quite calm in his heart. Lan Tian taught him to be more attentive than his two sons. Hearing this, he said with tears in his eyes: "Ai...Ai... would rather not... not become a teacher... "
"Don't worry, I will give you a chance to spread your wings." Lan Tian smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Although Lan Tian was telling Deng Ai Zai, he was actually telling Gao Shun and Gan Ning that as long as they educate their children well, they would not have to worry about not having a chance to get ahead in this era.
Everyone came to the dock to dismount and change boats. Gao Ling and Gan Gui walked out of the carriage driven by Gan Ning. As soon as Lan Tian saw the two children, he knew that they had inherited their father's character.
Gao Ling is dark and stocky, and is as taciturn as Gao Shun. Gan Gui is second only to Lan Yuan in age. This child has an outgoing and cheerful personality, a typical childhood example of Gan Xingba.
The children were relatively quiet on the boat because they were not yet familiar with it.
A few hours later, the fleet landed at Yingpu County to transfer, and horses and vehicles were prepared on the dock.
Lan Tian saw Gao Shun frowning, so he asked in confusion: "Bo Ping seems unhappy?"
"The Yingpu County Lieutenant was perfunctory. We originally prepared two carriages, but now there is only one on the pier. How can anyone ride on it?" Gao Shun said coldly.
"I think this carriage is very spacious, so there will be no problem for these children." Lan Tian shook his head and said.
"But my lord..." Gao Shun lowered his head in self-reproach, mainly because time was too short and Yingpu County was indeed not prepared in time.
Lu Lingqi consoled her: "I haven't traveled far on horseback for a long time, and I just happened to accompany my husband on a sightseeing trip today."
"There is a difference between master and servant, Ling'er is so rude..." Gao Shun shook his head.
"General Gao, you don't have to be so reserved. You and my father are the same generation as me and are my masters. In terms of seniority, the gap is even greater." Lu Lingqi said with a smile.
Gao Shun quickly clasped his fists: "Master, please don't say that..."
"Everyone, let's go. The children are still young now. Wasn't it nice to be on the boat just now?" Lan Tian said.
"only."
Gao Shun clasped his fists and put the children on the carriage. After observing on the boat just now, he was not too worried about his son Gao Ling. On the contrary, Gan Gui was too showy and didn't know how to behave. This was also related to Gan Ning's extensive education.
In autumn, everything begins to wither, and most of the trees on the road have withered leaves.
A gust of golden wind blew by, and the leaves rubbed against the branches, making a rustling sound.
Gan Ning once ambushed Xing Daorong at the southern foot of Jiuyi Mountain. Because he was familiar with the environment, he led the way. Gao Shun and Deng Ai were at the rear of the team, and Lan Tian and Lu Lingqi followed the carriage in the middle.
After several hours of getting along on the boat, the children in the carriage became familiar with each other.
"Should we follow the example of the three sworn brothers in Taoyuan, and have five sworn brothers in a carriage here?" Gan Gui suggested first.
He had already understood clearly on the boat just now that his age advantage allowed him to become the second brother. Thinking of his father's awe every time he mentioned Guan Yu, maybe one day he could be as famous as Guan Erye?
Second Master Guan, Second Master Gan, maybe this number is very auspicious.
After Gan Gui finished speaking, no one paid any attention to her. Lan Yuan, Lan Ji, and Adou were natural allies. They were already of high background and no one would look for a brother above them.
"Gaoling, what do you think?" Gan Gui had her mind set on Honest Man.
Gao Ling said naively: "I heard from the two brothers of the Lan family..."
"Lan Ji is a month younger than you, he should call you brother..." Gan Gui reminded.
"My father and their mother have a master-servant relationship. When I grow up and inherit my father's ambition, I can't be brothers with them..." Although Gao Ling is simple and honest, his thinking is quite clear.
At this time, A Dou nodded to Gao Ling, as if he was affirming his status as the prince. This action left Gan Gui speechless. He thought that he could not let the Lan family brothers get too much limelight, and he had to find a way to make up for it.
Gan Gui looked at Adou and suddenly had an idea, "Your Majesty, I heard that your father has superb swordsmanship and even fought against Lu Bu?"
"It seems there is such a thing..." Adou nodded carefully.
"I heard that General Wenhou Lu is invincible in the world. Your father is really amazing." Gan Gui complimented.
"Uh... there... there..." Everyone was carrying the sedan chair. Adou was very happy when he heard that his father was praised. He then asked politely: "I heard that your father, General Gan, is also very brave..."
Gan Gui had already prepared his words, and he said with a smile: "Of course he is brave. Although he has never fought against General Lu, he has not lost in duels with General Zhao and General Guan..."
"Moreover, he killed Xing Daorong and used hundreds of horses to rob someone's camp..." Gan Gui continued to add.
Seeing his endless boasting, Lan Ji blurted out: "My eldest father is the invincible General Wenhou Lu in your mouth..."
