Facts proved that Xiao Moyan's "Why not" was just a way to scare Ji Xingzhi. There were several families at the foot of the mountain, obviously ordinary people. When they saw Ji Xingzhi and the others, they were all stunned. The sudden appearance of so many good-looking young people made them think that it was a god descending...
That night, Ji Xingzhi and his group rested in this ordinary mountain village and had a good sleep.
The next day, they left some silver as a thank you to the villagers and left disguised as an ordinary caravan.
Ji Ruhua, Luo Bai, and the others sat in the rear carriage, while Ji Xingzhi and Xiao Moyan sat in the front, with Bai Xiu leading the way on horseback. Zhou Zheng guarded the rear carriage, while the people from Liuyun pretended to be ordinary caravan servants, pulling a few carts of goods (essentially just food and clothing for everyone) and leading a few horses, each laden with heavy baggage.
It looks quite formal, just like any other ordinary caravan.
Although the disguise was successful, he was still inexplicably exposed. Fortunately, Xiao Moyan always knew what was going to happen and left the danger one step ahead.
Xiao Moyan said that this was not called foresight, he was just releasing his spiritual consciousness to detect the other party in advance.
Ji Xingzhi was puzzled by what Xiao Moyan said about the release of spiritual consciousness. However, to ordinary people like her, this was just foresight.
Disguising themselves as a merchant caravan was useless, so for the next five days, Ji Xingzhi and the others pretended to be ordinary people, and even wore ragged clothes and painted their faces to pretend to be beggars, but they were still seen through by the other party.
The other party's goal was very clear, and they were not fooled at all by Ji Xingzhi and others' tricks. No matter where Ji Xingzhi and others hid, the other party could always find them in the first time.
It was obvious there was a traitor among them.
Since it was useless to disguise themselves, they simply restored their original appearance and moved into the best inn in Changxin City. This was also a reward for their long and arduous escape.
Changxin City is an ordinary city in Shuizhou State, three cities away from Shuizhou City, the imperial capital of Shuizhou. According to the distance and time, it takes two days and two nights to go to Shuizhou City from Changxin by taking a shortcut, while it takes five days by carriage. At present, Ji Xingzhi and his party are frequently assassinated, and the road ahead is full of dangers. It is obvious that they will not be able to catch up with the Holy Book of Peace of Shuizhou.
Speaking of this Holy Peace Ceremony, Ji Xingzhi was once confused by it. A warlike country actually held a Holy Peace Ceremony every hundred years. It was said that this was a rule set by the founding emperor of Shuizhou, under the euphemism of fighting for peace.
This Holy Peace Ceremony is also very strange. It is said that on the day of the ceremony, everyone in Shuizhou is equal, singing and dancing, can enter the palace to play, and insult the king without being punished.
Let’s get back to the topic.
The Changxin Inn, which is usually crowded and bustling, is now silent, as if there is no one there. Only the shopkeeper is counting the silver behind the counter. There is a pile of silver on the counter. The fat and bloated shopkeeper is happily counting the silver. The more he counts, the wider his mouth becomes. It is obvious that he is very happy.
The waiters were busy carrying dishes to each room. Some of them were carrying buckets of hot water, sweating profusely from exhaustion.
It’s not that there are no guests in Changxin Inn, but that the guests are all staying in their rooms.
Inside the guest room, the table was filled with a variety of delicious dishes, steaming hot, and they looked delicious. On the other side of the table was a large plain bed, and diagonally opposite the bed was a translucent screen, behind which a figure was faintly visible.
