A group of people were traveling quickly in the dense forest at night. Although Qingtang was pampered in the palace, she had been practicing dancing for many years in order to maintain her figure and favor.
Although he looks thin, his body is light and strong, so he can keep up with the team by gritting his teeth.
They walked in the dense forest for a day and a half according to a predetermined route, resting and drinking water at a creek.
"There are fish in the water, I'll catch them." Shen Ruoyan couldn't rest, so he enthusiastically cut a tree branch and took people to catch the fish.
Shen Xingwan sat on a rock to rest and took out a map to read.
When it gets dark at night, they disguise themselves as a caravan and go out, still detouring through Shangluo, and then leave.
After half a day's rest, everyone's energy has recovered a lot.
Instructor Lin led people to hide clothes and some other things needed by the caravan nearby in advance.
Everyone changed their clothes, pretended to be a caravan, and sent people to explore the road. After confirming that no one was squatting, the group took advantage of the darkness and went down the mountain and slowly approached the main road.
On the second day, I walked for a long time. On the road, I gradually encountered fleeing people and other caravans.
"I heard that Beirong Imperial City is in chaos, and several princes are fighting."
“I don’t know if the border crossing will stop.”
"I heard from the gossip that the third prince is going to bring troops back to the court to fight for the throne."
"Really or not, then should we fight with Daqi?"
"If there really is an armistice, it would be a good time to make some money. It would be a good time to do business."
"If we really stop fighting, it will be a good thing for caravans like us who are trying to make a living. We have something to eat again. If we fight, everyone will run away and no one will buy anything."
The people I met on the road were all from the area. They all had hearsay stories, and rumors were flying everywhere.
Shen Xingwan and his team didn't talk much, they just listened quietly to what others said.
In addition, except for Coach Lin, the team is full of young people. The men all seem to be full of energy.
They didn't take the initiative to speak, and no one came up to talk to them.
At night, a group of people refused to leave and began to set up simple tents in the wild to rest. Some people just made a nest and rested on the ground.
Some people also burned firewood to cook.
Shen Xingwan and the others also cooked and made a good meal to replenish their strength.
After eating a hot meal, Shen Xingwan also drank fungus soup all night, which made her feel good all over.
"Are we still going as planned?" Coach Lin asked.
Shen Xingwan looked at the map and said, "No, it would be better for us to go directly to the border and directly enter Pingcheng."
The border is in chaos. It looks like a dangerous place, but it is actually very safe for them.
The most important thing is that Shen Xingwan feels that the news of the third prince's withdrawal is 90% true.
In this case, they might as well go directly to Pingcheng and join Qin Xuejian.
It's time to start something and expand the territory.
In order to avoid encountering the army directly, they chose small roads and mountain roads.
Apparently there were people who had the same idea as them and took the risk to go to the border.
In order to not appear unique, Shen Xingwan and the others deliberately blended in. They quickly became acquainted with each other, and everyone walked together.
After walking for about four days, I was tired from walking this day and was resting on the path halfway up the mountain.
Shen Ruoyan and Coach Lin suddenly combed their ears and listened quietly for a while before they stood up.
"Let's go take a look."
The two came back soon, with somewhat excited expressions on their faces.
"It was the third prince of Beirong who passed by with his army, and Beirong retreated."
"Really retreating?"
Everyone couldn't wait to go to the front to take a look. They looked down from the mountain road halfway up the mountain and could see the mighty army on the road returning to the enemy at a high speed.
"I really have to withdraw my troops and stop fighting."
"The border is temporarily peaceful."
"We made the right bet this time, and it's a good time to go back."
The crowd immediately cheered, and everyone had excited smiles on their faces.
Shen Xingwan looked at so many troops and curled up his lips, "It seems that there is some fighting within Beirong. I wonder who will be the new King of Beirong."
"Fight, the more intense the fight, the better." Shen Ruoyan answered.
When there is internal chaos, we have no energy to do anything at the border.
"I'm really curious about who Qu Mu, Li and Qu Jupiter belong to." Shen Xingwan stood with his hands behind his hands, "They actually have the same idea as us."
"I can't tell." Shen Ruoyan shook her head. She almost didn't see the opponent's move from the front, otherwise she could still judge it from the number of martial arts.
After watching for a while, they were probably inspired by the end of the war. Everyone started walking on the mountain road, becoming more and more energetic.
After walking this mountain road, everyone started walking on the main road with confidence.
Shen Xingwan and the others sped up and rushed towards the border between the two countries.
Although the war is over, the border is still in a mess and even looks devastated.
But the tenacious and tenacious people have packed up and started a new life.
There was even a simple teahouse set up beside the road, and the business was quite good, selling large bowls of cheap tea.
Everyone passing by is willing to come in and have a drink.
"I don't know when the gate to Pingcheng will open. I can't wait to enter the city."
"We just came back from there. The security there is very tight and they won't let anyone in easily. It will probably take a while."
After drinking tea for a while, I listened to some gossip.
Coach Lin asked, "What should we do? Go there directly, or send someone to get in first."
The overall situation of Beirong's retreat has been decided, and Shen Xingwan no longer has any scruples, "Let's go directly."
When it got dark, Shen Xingwan took the people directly outside the city gate.
As expected, he was stopped by the soldiers guarding the door, "What are you doing? No one can enter here now, please leave quickly."
Shen Xingwan asked without any fear, "Is there anyone who can make the decision? I'd like to meet him."
The soldier looked him up and down, "Who are you? Lieutenant General, you can see him whenever you want."
Shen Xingwan was not angry and smiled, "Then please report it. If Shen Xingwan is visiting, you can also report it directly to King Min Nan."
As soon as Shen Xingwan said these three words, the soldiers were stunned for a moment.
Although they have never met him in person, they have heard the name somewhat.
As a woman, she has a reputation that is not inferior to that of any man, which is considered unique.
There was a seasoned person who knew that whether it was true or not, it must be of great importance when it comes to this name, "Please wait a moment, I will ask the deputy general to come over."
Soon the deputy general who was in charge of patrolling the city today came over and looked Shen Xingwan up and down, "You said you were Miss Shen, you don't want to just say it in vain."
"The general is from the King of Minnan?" Shen Xingwan asked.
The deputy general nodded. Not many people in Min Nan had seen Shen Xingwan's true face, not to mention that her current dress indeed looked more like a businessman.
Shen Xingwan opened the palm of his hand, and there was a small token lying inside. "The general should know this thing. General, please tell King Minnan and Princess Minnan that an old friend is visiting."
This token can only be held by close associates of the Min family. The lieutenant general said cautiously, "Please wait a moment, girl. I will send someone to inform the prince."
The lieutenant still maintains a basic sense of vigilance.
