Li Nian had been prepared for this move. Noticing the carriage suddenly change lanes, she whispered, "Sisi, there's something wrong."
Li Sisi also noticed something was wrong and sternly asked Xiaoliu, the carriage driver: "Where are you going? Take the official road!"
Xiaoliu explained loudly: "This road is shorter." As he spoke, the carriage drove faster.
Li Sisi stretched her head and looked around. Apart from the trees that blocked out the sun, there was no house in sight.
She flung open the car curtain.
Xiaoliu, who was driving the carriage, was startled: "What are you doing! Get in!"
Li Sisi sneered, snatched the rope from Xiaoliu's hand, and forced the carriage to stop.
Xiao Liu's face darkened. "Are you trying to kill yourself? I'm a rickshaw driver, how could I not know which way to go?"
Li Sisi kicked him off the carriage: "You also know that you are a coachman? Didn't you hear me saying to take the official road?"
She looked at the driver with a stern gaze and warned him in a condescending voice, "You'd better drive the carriage honestly. Otherwise, it's normal for someone to die in this wilderness."
"You!" Xiao Liu saw that her face was gloomy and she didn't seem like she would lie, so he said angrily, "Damn it, I'm unlucky to have met you two bitches!"
"Watch your mouth!" Li Sisi glared at him, "Turn around and take the official road!"
Xiaoliu was so angry that he couldn't bear it any longer. He took a big step forward and was about to attack, but Li Sisi grabbed his arm and held him back.
Then with a sudden push, Xiao Liu lost his balance and crashed into a tree trunk on the side of the road.
"Bitch, I don't believe I can't cure you!" Xiaoliu covered his forehead which was hurt by the collision and turned around angrily.
Suddenly my whole body stiffened!
What, what's going on?
Li Sisi looked at the four masked strong men in black clothes in front of her and took several steps back in shock.
"Hand over the jade pendant and I won't kill you!" The masked strong man in the front pointed the tip of the knife at Li Sisi and said in a rough and fierce voice.
Li Sisi frowned in confusion: "Brother, are you mistaken? We don't have jade pendants, and we didn't take other people's jade pendants..." She suddenly remembered that the man she rescued on the road gave them a piece of Putian jade. Could he be talking about that?
"You saved a man on the way. Where is the jade pendant he gave you?" the strong man asked.
Li Sisi suddenly realized that it was indeed that jade pendant.
"I pawned that jade pendant at a pawnshop," Li Sisi added, "and we didn't take a penny of the money. We gave it all to that man named Ma Shaoyu."
"Brother, don't believe her. I saw them with my own eyes taking the jade pendant to the inn that night!" another masked man shouted.
"No, brother, why did you only follow halfway?" Li Sisi looked at the big man who had spoken. "We did bring the jade pendant back to the inn that night, but it was too late. The next day we went to the pawnshop and pawned it. After all, that person's medical expenses were not cheap."
Another big man joined in: "Why waste so much time talking to two little girls? Just kill them and search them, and you'll find out."
The two best friends are summoning the system, wondering what to exchange to solve their current troubles?
Suddenly two more men in black flew out.
He was wearing a black robe embroidered with gold thread, with no mask on. His facial features were handsome and his eyebrows and eyes were picturesque.
Two men in black came with swords in hand and without saying a word, they saluted the two best friends very politely, then pointed their swords at the four masked men and started fighting.
Are the men in black fighting each other?
The two best friends looked at each other with question marks on their faces.
"Girls, you go first!" Someone among the men in black shouted.
Li Sisi quickly jumped onto the carriage and left a message: "Thank you, big brother!"
"Gee--" the carriage sped away.
Xiaoliu, who had been hiding in the nearby woods, heard the movement of the carriage and quickly ran out, chasing after it and shouting, "Hey, I, I'm still here - my carriage -"
The carriage sped away from the small path and ran wildly on the official road, leaving behind a cloud of dust.
Li Sisi drove the carriage without daring to stop, and drove it all the way to the next city in one breath.
The carriages in the carriage team were all marked, so the two men left their carriage outside the city gate and went into the city to buy a new one.
The driver didn't dare to look for her anymore, so Li Sisi changed into men's clothes and headed northwest along the official road.
The further northwest you go, the wider and flatter the land becomes, and the official road also changes from a winding path through the mountains and forests to a straight road.
The architectural style of the house has also changed from exquisite to simple and elegant.
The two's original destination was further northwest, but halfway through they found that there were many refugees migrating southward from the northwest, so they stopped moving forward.
After all, they had been traveling for several days and were far enough away from the capital. They probably would never meet those people from the capital again in their lifetime.
Looking up, you can see the endless plains, where the sky and the earth merge together at the end of your sight. The scenery is magnificent.
Especially at this time when the sun is setting, the sunset glow in the sky automatically paints a magnificent and beautiful picture.
The towering, unbroken city walls wind like a giant dragon, isolating the city from the outside world. Soaring towers complement the low-rise dwellings, and the streets are spacious and clean, lined with shops, some of which sell things you've never even heard of before.
"It seems that the information recorded in the book is quite true. This Dong'an City looks more imposing than what is recorded in it," Li Sisi said with emotion.
It was not completely dark yet, but the main color of the city was gray. When the setting sun fell, it looked particularly bright and dazzling.
Li Nian looked up and around. Behind every low house, he could see a towering city wall.
That is the fortress that protects this world.
