The soldier lifted the carriage curtain, inspected the people inside, and frowned, saying:
"So many people riding in one carriage?"
Hua Xin was about to explain when Ye Lanyin stopped her, then smiled and said, "My lord, we are going to visit relatives."
"Our carriage broke down halfway here, so we had no choice but to squeeze into one carriage."
The soldier was skeptical, but did not reveal Ye Lanyin's words.
The Regent said coldly, "Is this how the Canglang Kingdom treats its people? Do we need your permission to ride in one carriage with so many people?"
"We're just passing through, are you going to investigate our background?!"
Seeing the regent's imposing presence, the soldiers couldn't help but feel a bit wary.
"We are all acting under orders, so please abide by the laws of our Canglang Kingdom!"
General Yao tugged at the Regent and gestured to him with his eyes, "Your Highness, the Canglang Kingdom has always kept to itself and our Xuan Yue Kingdom, and with General Liu in charge, I'm afraid they won't be too harsh on us."
"Perhaps we should wait a bit."
The regent snorted, which was taken as agreement.
They haven't revealed their identities outside of the public eye, lest they invite disaster upon themselves.
But that doesn't mean nobody knows where they are.
Especially their arch-rival, Yun Aoguo, is probably already stirring up trouble in the shadows.
"Who is making such a racket here?"
A soldier in armor walked in through the city gate; he appeared to be the leader.
He walked out of the city gate, one hand on his sword.
He looked the Regent up and down, his brows furrowing more and more.
"Sir, haven't we met somewhere before...?"
The regent glanced at the other man out of the corner of his eye, too lazy to look at him.
General Yao straightened his robes and, smiling, pulled the Regent behind him, as if afraid that he might kill the man in a fit of anger.
"We are going there to visit relatives, and we would be grateful if you could do us a favor."
The leader took a breath. "Where are you going to visit your relatives?"
"Mountains beyond mountains".
Xiao Wanwan got off the carriage and answered the soldier's question, "Uncle, my uncle is dying. If we don't leave now, he'll be dead."
This was the first time the leader had ever heard someone speak of a life so lightly.
But considering it's a child, it's somewhat understandable.
The more he looked at Xiao Wanwan, the more familiar she seemed. He squatted down and asked, "Where did you come from?"
Xiao Wanwan said "Oh," and then asked, "Where did we come from?"
As she spoke, she pointed to the road behind her and said shamelessly.
The leader was ashamed.
You really can't take things too seriously with kids.
"We come from the Holy Kingdom, and we are going to visit relatives beyond the mountains."
Anyway, no one dares to go to the mountains beyond the mountains, so he's not afraid of being investigated for saying this.
Upon hearing that it was the Holy Kingdom, the leader recalled the Holy Spirit's summoning conference he had attended in the Holy Kingdom last year.
Looking at their faces, I finally remembered.
He looked delighted and said:
"So it's the Regent of the Holy Kingdom who has graced us with his presence. No wonder you all look so familiar."
"Everyone, please go in."
The Regent coldly tossed his robes aside, turned around, picked up Xiao Wanwan, and pulled Ye Lanyin into the carriage.
I don't want to say another word to them.
As expected, laws vary greatly from country to country. If you suspect them, just check their car, right?
They stopped us from going in, saying we had to wait for the leader.
Does the leader fly or have X-ray vision that allows him to see through them?
"Madam, don't worry. The Canglang Kingdom and the Holy Kingdom have always been at peace. Even if they know about us, it won't matter."
"My lord, we've come here because we're afraid our identities have already been discovered."
“I know, which is why I didn’t stop Ye Jianxing when he revealed our identities.”
He understood that although the Canglang Kingdom and the Holy Kingdom kept to themselves, there were still lingering resentments between them.
After all, there is no such thing as lasting peace between nations.
If they had concealed their identities earlier, it would have made the Canglang Kingdom suspicious of their purpose in coming here.
Besides, what kind of place is the Mountain Beyond the Mountain? It's a place where gods and demons are most chaotic. No ordinary people dare to go there. Even if they told the other side, they wouldn't believe them.
After the group was let in.
As expected, the leader did not go up to the city wall, but instead rode his horse to another road.
"Little sister, what do you want this for?"
Yao Qianshu really didn't understand what was so good about snakeskin? Why would someone insist on doing this in the middle of the night?
Could it be just for the snake gall?
"Eating snake gallbladders is good for your health."
She vaguely felt that her spiritual power had improved a lot, even more so than the pills she had taken from her cousin Ye last time.
Good, good, she's improved again!!
"Brother Qian Shu, I ate it all, you're not angry, are you?"
Xiao Wanwan raised her head and looked innocently at Yao Qianshu, whose eyes were blurry.
Yao Qianshu rubbed his eyes. "Don't be angry, don't be angry."
He wouldn't eat that stuff.
It might look disgusting.
If Yao Qianshu finds out in the future that he missed out on this precious thing, he will probably cry for three days and three nights.
Hua Mei lifted the curtain and happened to see Mo Qing standing beside her. Her face flushed, and she immediately lowered the curtain.
Hua Xin sat down beside her and, noticing her gaze, asked curiously, "Hua Mei, what's wrong?"
"N-nothing...it's nothing." Hua Mei stammered.
This made Hua Xin even more curious. She turned to the side and lifted the carriage curtain, just in time to see Mo Qing's magnified face. She was so frightened that she almost screamed.
"Oh……"
"What's wrong?" Hua Mei asked, trying to sound calm.
"It's nothing." Hua Xin covered her mouth and chuckled after realizing what had happened. "I just saw Mo Qing outside and thought it was that lecherous guy. It scared me to death."
Hua Mei was not the shy type of woman; she had never blushed or acted coy in her daily life.
“Aunt Huamei, why is your face so red?” Yao Qianshu looked up and said, “It looks like a red bottom.”
Before Hua Mei could recover from the playful banter about Hua Xin, she was teased by Yao Qianshu.
Shyly, she immediately grabbed the sword beside her, stood up, and said, "I...I'll go outside."
After saying that, she hurriedly lifted the curtain and rushed out.
Yao Qianshu asked suspiciously, "Strange?"
"I just asked her one question, why did she get so scared?"
"Sister? Do you know?" Yao Qianshu asked Xiao Wanwan, who was fiddling with the Tianfeng.
Xiao Wanwan kept her head down and paid no attention to Yao Qianshu.
She plucked the feathers from the phoenix one by one, plucking a full twenty fingers' worth before stopping.
What did you say?
Yao Qianshu frowned. "I said, why are you plucking chicken feathers? Oh, no, plucking bird feathers."
"It's hot, I want to make a fan~" Her voice reached Tianfeng's ears.
Tianfeng was so angry that it kept chirping and chattering.
"This is outrageous! Our contract is a contract, not a sale of servitude!"
'Waaaaah...'
"ah--"
A scream suddenly rang out outside the carriage, and Xiao Wanwan jumped up.
"Oh dear, what's going on outside?"
