The next day, Shen Xingwan yawned and went to the stream to wash up.
Upon returning, the Zhang family's caravan was already packing up their tents and packing their things, and sure enough, soon the head of the Zhang family came to say goodbye.
"I'm going to take the first step with my people. We'll meet again when we are destined."
Lin Niang clasped her fists and said boldly, "Have a nice trip."
Shen Xingwan sat down and started to drink porridge. Liyan beside him was exuding air-conditioning and his face looked stinking to death.
Shen Xingwan scooped up a bowl of porridge and handed it to him, "Who made you unhappy this morning?"
Li Yan glanced coldly at the people from the Du family opposite, "I'm tired of talking too much. I keep talking."
The person opposite felt a little embarrassed for a moment. Shen Xingwan curled his mouth. Liyan's direct character was quite interesting.
The two families each had breakfast, then slowly packed up and prepared to set off.
Du Lang, who was dressed in elegant and elegant clothes, came over and said to Lin Niang, "Both of our caravans have a lot of people. I heard that the road has been uneasy recently, so why don't we go together."
Shen Xingwan and his party had other agendas, so of course they couldn't act together.
Lin Niang smiled and said politely, "Thank you Du Lang for your kindness. We have our own route, so just walk slowly."
Lin Niang pretended to be like "we met by chance, why should I trust you?"
Du Lang showed a regretful expression but didn't say much.
The two caravans set off at about the same time. Although they did not go together, they were almost one behind the other and not far apart.
Shen Ruoyan whispered, "Did they do it on purpose? They keep following us. It's really annoying."
Shen Xingwan looked back and saw that the horse that Mr. Du was riding was too much fun. It was a bloody horse worth thousands of gold. Most caravans probably couldn't afford such a horse.
"Don't worry about it yet." Shen Xingwan said, she didn't plan to do anything for the time being anyway.
Their caravan walked slowly for the first two days, and on the third day, they simply packed up in the middle of the night and set off.
By the time the Du family's caravan reacted, they packed up their things and pursued them, but they had disappeared.
Du Lang said with a stern face, "Lost?"
The subordinate said, "They just want to get rid of us, and they are too fast."
Du Lang felt a little regretful, but there was nothing he could do about it. This kind of action proved that he had not misjudged the opponent, and the other party was definitely not an ordinary person.
Shen Xingwan and his group avoided the main road and took another path, which was found by "pathfinders".
After walking for another two days, we were getting closer and closer to the junction of the two countries.
In a simple inn, a group of people stopped to take a rest.
The inn was almost filled with people who had escaped from the war and escaped from the border.
"Hey, we can only go south. Wherever we go, we will be there."
"I hope the soldiers at the border can hold on for a little longer. I heard that the city has been sealed off and I can't get out even if I want to. Fortunately, I ran quickly when I saw something was wrong."
"It would be great if the Fu Jiajun and King Zhennan were still there. Beirong would never dare to be so rampant."
Some kind-hearted customers advised the boss, "Shopkeeper, please pack up and leave early. Otherwise, you may not be able to leave."
The shopkeeper said while taking an abacus, "We were really attacked by the Beirong. It would be the same no matter where we run, so I won't run. The worst I can do is die by then. Before I die, I will grab a few Beirong people to support me and hack them to death one by one."
"
"The shopkeeper is bloody!"
The inn was crowded. Shen Ruoyan found a table with women to get close to. When he came back, he shook his head to Shen Xingwan with a bad expression, "The situation is not good."
Shen Xingwan nodded, "Let's eat first."
Lin Niang, who just disappeared quietly into the crowd, soon returned with an unchanged expression, walked over and sat down.
The inn was already full, so they stayed outside tonight. They simply set up a tent in an open space not far from the inn.
Liyan was guarding the door while Shen Xingwan and the others were talking in the tent.
Lin Niang took out the letter paper she had just found when she went out and soaked it in the special potion for a while. The words on the letter paper were revealed.
After two years of training, they already have their own set of contact information.
Before the dispatched team set off, Lin Niang took out a map and agreed with them on the location to deliver the message.
The three of them carefully read the message left by the vanguard team, which clearly stated that the city of Daqi had been sealed off and the Beirong side was under martial law. It was too risky for them to enter Rong head-on.
"What should we do?" Shen Ruoyan asked.
Shen Xingwan took out a map of this area and put it on the table, "The best way now is to take a detour."
Outside the territory of Beirong, there is an unruly area where people with impure blood live, who are not accepted by any country and are looked down upon.
Lin Niang took out a hand-drawn route, and the final destination pointed to Shangluo.
"It seems they and the girl are on the same page."
If you want to take a detour to Shangluo, you have to go over mountains and pass through many dangerous areas. It is difficult for ordinary people, but it is not a big problem for them.
"Tell me to go down and have a good rest. We will detour to Shangluo tomorrow." Shen Xingwan quickly made a decision.
Their purpose was to enter Wangcheng Naqu City in Beirong, but going to the border was not necessary.
After ten days of traveling at high speed, they finally made it out of the mountain. The journey was very hard.
Shen Xingwan had blood blisters on her feet. He pricked them one by one and sprinkled the medicinal powder Chan Yi had prepared for her.
The pain was excruciating, but she didn't dare to stop at all. The situation at the border was serious, so she would have more hope if she arrived a day earlier.
After walking along the road for another two days, we finally saw Shangluo City.
Shen Ruoyan was a little dumbfounded, "Are you sure this is a city?"
Half of the city wall has collapsed, and there is no one guarding it. People coming in and out of the city gate are wearing all kinds of clothes.
Lin Niang sighed, "The nature of this place is that people who no country is willing to accept gather together to form a city. Of course, it cannot be compared with a real big city."
Beirong and Daqi are feuding. In recent years, there have been small battles almost every year, big battles every three years, and two-week battles every three days.
But there were times of friendship in the past, especially when people at the junction had close exchanges, which led to many young men and women getting married and giving birth to children with ancestry from both countries.
Gradually, as the relationship between the two parties became worse and worse, these people were not accepted and could not survive. They were forced to find such a place to survive.
"The conditions here are not good and the living environment is harsh, so Beirong turned a blind eye and allowed them to survive here," Lin Niang said.
Essentially, this place used to be a place that no one wanted. I heard that the land here could not grow food.
"Go in."
As soon as they entered, they attracted a lot of curious eyes. The city was not really prosperous. The houses were all simple wooden houses, which were extremely unpretentious.
The things sold on the street look very simple.
They walked through most of the city and finally found an inn and stayed in it.
Shen Xingwan was going to find Hua Chou's shop, so he met with Hua Yan first to understand the situation.
