Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 204: Chapter 198 Betting and Seeking Assistance

“If you encounter any trouble on the road, have someone come back and send me a message!” Yang Zhenshan stood in front of Yu Qingyi and spoke softly.

“Mm, Master, don’t worry, we won’t encounter any trouble!” Yu Qingyi looked at him with eyes full of tenderness.

Having been married for two years, this was their first separation. Although it was only for a few days, both still found it hard to part.

Yang Zhenshan nodded slightly and turned to Ding Qiu beside him, “After you leave, don’t hesitate or look back. If anyone dares to cause trouble, don’t consider their status!”

After all, this world is not governed by the rule of law. Sometimes trouble finds you even if you don’t seek it.

Therefore, Yang Zhenshan was somewhat worried that Yu Qingyi and the others might run into trouble.

“Mm, Master, rest assured, as long as this old servant lives, I will ensure the safety of the Lady and the young miss!” Ding Qiu said earnestly.

For Ding Qiu, the Yang family was not only his master’s house, but Yang Zhenshan was also a benefactor to his entire family.

If it hadn’t been for Yang Zhenshan buying him and his family, their household might have fallen apart.

And having lived in the Yang family for several years, he and his family had been very content.

Compared to their previous life in the Zhang family, their days in the Yang family hardly felt like servitude.

Although the Yang family also had many rules, everyone in the Yang family treated their servants with leniency, and there was no random beatings or scolding as long as no mistakes were made.

Although Ding Qiu’s cultivation had reached the Postnatal Fifth Layer, he harbored no ill will towards Yang Zhenshan or the Yang family.

If necessary, he would indeed be willing to die in battle for the Yang family.

Yang Zhenshan looked at the serious Ding Qiu and chuckled, patting his shoulder, “Don’t speak of dying, it’s inauspicious. I am waiting for your safe return!”

“Yes!” Ding Qiu showed a faint smile, responding with determination.

This was why he was willing to serve Yang Zhenshan unto death; Yang Zhenshan never treated him as a servant and never saw their lives as something to be discarded at will.

The group boarded carriages, and the convoy began to depart slowly. Yang Zhenshan watched the departing convoy, and then raised his head to view the clear sky.

The weather had been good for the past few days; they should have a smooth journey.

…

At the same time that Yang Zhenshan was seeing off Yu Qingyi and the others, on the construction site outside of An Yuan City, a group of wretched prisoners were repairing the road under the supervision of constables.
