The movie was a huge success, and after attending the celebration banquet, Hanno prepared to return to ancient times to accompany Elder Brother Li. Hanno set off on a trip with Han Dad and Mom Han, carrying a large travel bag as he left home. Before departing, Hanno left behind several health manuals that were simple yet practical for Han Dad and Mom Han. They had already cultivated their inner strength, so practicing these techniques would be quite easy for them.
In another world, at General Li's Mansion, the servants were buzzing with speculation about their master's strange behavior. It was well known that their general was a martial general who always rode a horse when going out and never took a carriage. Yet today, he had them prepare a carriage and insisted on driving it himself, not allowing anyone to accompany him. If their general had no secrets, they would never believe it.
"Is the general going out to pick someone up?" one servant wondered.
"Pick someone up? Who besides the emperor has enough clout to warrant our general personally going to fetch them?" another replied.
"Isn't there also his future wife?" someone chimed in.
"You mean the general is going to pick up his fiancée?"
"What? Li Wei Feng's fiancée has arrived?" Suddenly, a voice that was completely different from the others interrupted the discussion. The servants looked up to see Yue Yunfei stepping back out of the gate, one hand holding his wife Mo Yan, the Princess, and the other hand pulling Geng Shi'an along as he exclaimed, "Come on, let's also head out of the city and see what this mysterious fiancée of Wei Feng looks like. Does she have three heads and six arms?"
Geng Shi'an responded, "No three heads or six arms, but she must be a great beauty; otherwise, Li Wei Feng wouldn't be so infatuated with her. He turned down so many noble ladies for her sake and even said things like 'a lifetime together as one.'"
Mo Yan, the Princess said enviously, "Li Wei Feng's fiancée is really lucky!"
Yue Yunfei shot back, "I am devoted to you too; don't you feel lucky?"
Mo Yan glared at him. "I'd feel even luckier if you didn't go drinking with courtesans."
Yue Yunfei quickly replied, "Going out for drinks with colleagues is just socializing; I never called any other women to serve me. You have to believe me!"
"Hmph! Li Wei Feng and Geng Shi'an don’t go drinking with courtesans often."
Geng Shi'an's voice came through: "Hey! Yue Yunfei, why did you hit me?"
Yue Yunfei replied cheerfully, "Because I'm happy! Ouch—my wife and the princess, please stop hitting me!"
Mo Yan retorted, "I'm happy!"
...
Li Wei Feng drove an empty carriage to the outskirts of the capital. In an uninhabited area, he connected with the time portal of the Porcelain Jar. However, Hanno did not come over with hostility; instead, he tossed two large bags over before leisurely crossing from another world to stand beside Elder Brother Li.
"Honey, I miss you so much." Elder Brother Li tightly embraced Hanno. Ever since the last time Hanno said he would come to accompany him, he had been looking forward to it, only to wait for half a month.
"I miss you too, dear." Hanno patted Elder Brother Li's back, remaining much calmer than him. "Don't worry, we have plenty of days together ahead of us. Just stay calm."
Elder Brother Li released his embrace but still held onto one of Hanno's hands tightly, smiling as he said, "Honey, you look really beautiful in this outfit."
Although he had seen Hanno in ancient costumes in other worlds, those appearances belonged to others. Now, seeing Hanno dressed in ancient attire with his own features and styled hair made Elder Brother Li momentarily speechless.
Hanno smiled and lifted the black fabric that hung down from his chest, saying, "I had Zhou Le make this for me early this morning. I’ve been growing my hair long for over a year just to wear this ancient costume."
Elder Brother Li admired Hanno's neatly styled hair and praised, "You have such skill; your hairstyle looks great."
"I learned it from tutorials online," Hanno replied. "There are plenty of tutorials available, and they all look good on different head shapes—much better than the styles we have in Tang Dynasty World."
Elder Brother Li remarked, "While there were many styles of hairstyles for women during the Tang Dynasty, they were limited by the era and certainly don't compare to modern aesthetics."
Hanno nodded and changed the subject with a smile. "Are we really going to stand out here in the wilderness discussing these trivial matters?"
Elder Brother Li laughed. "You're right; it's my fault. I'll take you home right away—back to our home!"
Before they could head home, they were intercepted by Yue Yunfei and his group on the road.
"Wei Feng! I heard your fiancée is here? Where is she?" Yue Yunfei shouted from a distance.
Elder Brother Li was surprised. "How did you know I came to pick someone up?"
Yue Yunfei chuckled. "Your behavior was too suspicious! Your servants guessed you were coming to pick up your fiancée. Is it true? Where is she? Call her out so we can see!"
Elder Brother Li broke into a sweat; he hadn't expected his servants to be so clever, deducing his intentions from just a few clues—each one rivaling Conan.
Hanno heard the voices and gracefully emerged from the carriage. Looking up, he saw four young people riding fine horses ahead of them—his husband's friends in this world. The lively couple must be Yue Yunfei and Mo Yan, the Princess, while the more composed pair should be Geng Shi'an and his wife. All were strikingly handsome and beautiful.
"Hanno greets General Yue, Princess Mo Yan, and Lady Geng." Hanno smiled as he greeted the four with confidence and respect.
Yue Yunfei and the others were captivated by Hanno's calm demeanor, marveling at her grace that rivaled even that of a royal princess. They couldn't help but wonder about Miss Han's true identity.
"Miss Han, since you are Wei Feng's fiancée, there's no need to be so formal. Just call us by our names like Wei Feng does," Yue Yunfei quickly suggested. The four of them had a very positive first impression of Hanno, which was why they accepted her so readily. Of course, Hanno had previously sent Elder Brother Li various items such as a Hot Air Balloon, military texts, medical knowledge, and candy-making techniques, which endeared her to them even more.
"Then let's skip the formalities. Just call me Hanno; that's my name," Hanno replied with a smile.
"Hanno," Mo Yan, the Princess said as she rode her horse closer to the carriage, enthusiastically addressing Hanno, "We're about the same age, so we should definitely be able to have fun together. I'll come find you often; I hope you won't mind."
"I won't," Hanno shook her head with a smile. "I just arrived in the capital and would love for the princess to visit me so I can learn more about the city."
"Great! It's settled then; I'll come find you tomorrow."
Hanno nodded. "Sure, let Xueru join us too. We'll explore the capital together."
Qi Xueru smiled, "As you wish; I wouldn't dare impose."
The three men, Elder Brother Li and his companions, exchanged smiles as they watched their partners chatting happily. Their bond was strong, and they naturally hoped their wives would get along well too, wishing for their families' relationships to flourish without disruption.
Seeing Hanno sitting in the carriage, Mo Yan asked, "Hanno, don't you know how to ride?"
"I do," Hanno replied.
Having frequently ridden alongside Elder Brother Li in both the Dragon and Tang worlds, her equestrian skills were exceptional; it was impossible for her not to know how to ride.
"Then why are you in the carriage instead of riding?" Mo Yan inquired.
"I brought quite a few things with me. If I rode, I wouldn't be able to carry as much. So I had to trouble Wei Feng to bring the carriage for me," Hanno explained.
Upon hearing about what Hanno had brought, the eyes of Mo Yan and the others lit up. "Do you have anything as interesting as a Hot Air Balloon?"
After the incident with Consort X, Elder Brother Li had indeed asked Hanno to send over another black Hot Air Balloon. That evening, he took all four of them for several thrilling flights that left them exhilarated. The Hot Air Balloon was still hidden in the same villa where Consort X had been concealed; occasionally, they would take it out for a flight. To provide light during their adventures, they couldn't fly in complete darkness and needed torches for illumination. As a result, ordinary people only saw flames soaring through the sky—ghostly lights that spread from the capital all the way to the border.
"I do have something like that! Although you can't fly in it, its speed on land is no less than that of horseback riding," Hanno said with a grin.
"What is it?" the four of them asked eagerly.
"A bicycle."
Elder Brother Li's mouth twitched. A bicycle? What on earth did his wife have packed in those two big bags? How much stuff was there?
"What about the bicycle?" Mo Yan, the Princess, asked on behalf of the other three, curiosity evident in her voice.
"A bicycle, also known as a pedal bike or a single-speed bike, has two wheels and consists of pedals, a chain, and footboards. When a person rides it and pushes down on the pedals with their feet, it can move automatically. The faster you pedal, the faster the bicycle goes, even two or three times faster than a horse," Hanno explained to the four ancient individuals. "Our so-called thousand-mile horse can travel two hundred miles in four hours; however, with a bicycle, at the slowest speed, one can cover sixty miles in an hour. In four hours, that would be two hundred forty miles—doesn't that make it faster than a horse?"
The four of them listened with their mouths agape. Wow, this bicycle sounded impressive!
Mo Yan, the Princess, and her companions all looked at Hanno with eager eyes. "Can you take that bicycle out for us to see right now?"
Hanno replied, "The bicycle isn't assembled yet. Once Wei Feng and I finish putting it together, I'll be sure to call you over to try riding it first. How does that sound?"
The four nodded vigorously. Yue Yunfei said, "No need for that; we'll go back to Li Residence with you. If you need help, just ask. Let's aim to get that bicycle assembled today so all four of us can ride it."
The other three continuously nodded in agreement, which made Elder Brother Li and Hanno chuckle. Elder Brother Li shot several pointed glances at the four of them, silently conveying a message: "Come on, guys! Can we change this? My dear wife and I are finally reunited after a long time; could we have some space for ourselves?"
Mo Yan and her trio: "We see nothing; we see nothing; we don't see anything at all."
