Grandpa tang said "You want to take Ming and xun'er with you"
tang Jiang said "Yes father, I would like to take them with me and we think that it would be better for Ming too. And they can come here anytime they want and you can come to imperial capital if you wish to meet us. Then again xun'er family is there in imperial capital so we won't have much problem there."
Grandpa tang said "it's okay, In your job, you wouldn't have time come here and you also wish to have company there in the imperial capital. You can take them with you, by the when are you leaving."
Tang Jiang said, "I would leave the day after tomorrow so that I can arrive in the capital before the deadline."
Grandma tang asked "do you really have to take them with you. Your youngest brother resides in heavens path school as an elder and his wife and son are there too. If you will also leave us there is the only manner would live with us as others in younger generations are not here."
Tang Jiang said "Yes mother we have to leave here, its unfortunate that it is due to my work sentiment. Sorry mother for not able to give you company."
Zang xun'er started packing the necessary things to complete preparations before departure.
In the room, Tang Jiang was cultivating he achieved the 2nd stage of qi condensation because he had beforehand experience and there wasn't much impurity in his body as he was the 8th layer of qi condensation before. And his 8 channels were open he just need to enforce them and strengthen them then he would be able to reach his previous state in 3-4 days.
Then he called out ming's name, ming came then he asked " Son do you need anything, you can tell me without hesitation, You must diligently cultivate. You would be coming with us to the capital where you would require to attend the academy for scholars, This we had discussed with old senior to hide your ability to cultivate. In the imperial capital, you would require to restrain your anger, you shouldn't fight anyone otherwise they would be able to know your abnormality. "
Tang Ming said "yes father I will restrain myself.", This will be awkward if qi condensation adult would be defeated by a child who isn't even 8 years old.
He then went back to his room and started to silently cultivate. He would refine energy and strengthen his channels.
Next day Tang Jiang and an army of 5 thousand soldiers were at the entrance of Tang manner and was waiting was Ming and Zang xun'er. On the other hand, they were both saying goodbye to Tang family members. Ming vents to Lan'er and said, "Little sister, I will certainly find heavenly Yin fruit and save you.". Lan'er gave bright smile to Ming. The sadness of the Tang family disappeared immediately.
Hen tang Jiang, Zang xun and tang ming said goodbye and left the manor tang Jiang, ming and xun sat inside the chariot. And left from there with the cavalry army of five thousand soldiers on their horses.
Tang Jiang said "it would take about 2 days to reach imperial capital. So we have peace right now we can cultivate."
Taiyuan city is a big city with the area of more then 1 lac acre they required about 2 hours to leave the city gate, from when they leave the tang manner.

Between Taiyuan city and Tianyu8n city, there are many small city and Forest, in Forest traveling is very hard because of the danger of being robbed so they employ some mercenaries. Mercenaries duty is to safeguard its client's goods and their lives they fight the bandits.
When Tang Jiang convoy was traveling the small bandit's groups wouldn't dare to fight the army of 5 thousand soldiers on there own so they would attack the convoy. But there are some bandits den which has many qi refinement cultivators. The bandits have enmity with the imperial army because they would kill the den members because to protect their kingdom's good King would order them to eliminate bandits dens. The Taiyuan city and tiny city has a major trade route, so there are some major bandits dens.
When Jiang's convoy passed through the road, nearby big bandits den got the news they were Shushan bandits they have 2 late-stage qi condensation experts, so they decided to lay an ambush for the imperial army and sent the decree to lower bandits group to gather in for an ambush.
They also sent to some major bandits group invitation by this they would give the army major losses. The top experts quickly gathered and started their meeting.
Shushan Bandits one of the leader said "The army convoy has new war minister who is going to take command and what I heard he is mortal or early stage qi condensation but due to his exceptional skills in strategy and leadership quality and support from 2 major family he was able to become minister of war, if we were to land an attack on him or kill him it would be our long cherished will of dead bandits in the hand of army."
There was another Shixin bandit den leader said "if we were to attack the war minister it would be our greatest calamity. King would deploy his army to remove all the bandits from the area. This would be a major catastrophe for us bandits. And if war minister were not killed it would be huge trouble that he would also send his army to eliminate us.."
Shushan bandit head said "You don't have to worry about that, this is a golden opportunity this is the secret, the one of the major clan, Chen clan has put the huge amount of bounty for the head of the war minister and said that he only has 5 elemental mixed roots. And in the army, there is only 4 late-stage qi condensation realm expert. They want to let the king know that such a low cultivator can't become the leader of this much army. We just have to make sure that war minister is not dead. If the new war minister dies the tang family and Zang family will not put less effort to remove all of us bandits."
The leader of Shixin bandits said "S that's the case you decided to attack the convoy. Since that's the case I also support you, my dead bandit's brother we are going to take revenge for you. With Shushan bandits, my shixin bandits will set up an ambush who will support us."
many small bandits den leader agreed with them their army contains 6 late-stage qi condensation expert to take command. They decided to make attack morning of next day.
On the other hand Jiang and company set up camp at night the soldiers were on guard to any enemy attack. The horses are to rest in area not for and late-stage qi condensation with tang Jiang in the tent discussion about the path and other things. At the moment the bird came to tang Jiang, it was messenger bird. Jiang took the message out the message was "Bandits will attack at dawn."
