"Yes, my grandparents are old, and it's not good for them to travel back and forth. I'm also worried about encountering bandits on the road."
Yun Ruoyang comforted her, "Sister, don't worry. Only the Emperor knows that Grandfather has left this time. No one else knows. Furthermore, we have 1,000 guards from the Duke of Ying escorting us on the road. You don't have to worry about his safety."
Hearing that there were so many guards escorting her, Yun Ruoxi felt a little relieved, but only a little.
Yun Ruoxi turned to look at Mu Ruxue, "I'm always worried that there will be some problems on the way. How about we go over and pick them up?"
Mu Ruxue nodded. "Okay, since you're worried, let's go. We have a helicopter anyway, so it won't be a problem."
Yun Ruoyang: "But right now we don't know where Grandpa and Grandma are. If you rush to pick them up like this, I'm afraid you'll waste a lot of time."
Xiao Jingrui: "We will take care of the things at home. You two should be careful when you go out."
As everyone knows, a helicopter can only carry too few people at a time. If it could carry more people, they would definitely go along and lend a hand.
But the helicopter can only carry six or seven people at most, and they went along just to take up space.
So I decided not to go and cause trouble, and just waited quietly at home for them to come back.
Xiao Jingrui and Xiao Jingxuan were handling the affairs in the village, so their best friends wanted to find a quiet place and prepare to take out a helicopter to pick them up.
First of all, Taohua Village is not an option. After all, with such a loud noise, people around will definitely hear it.
The best way is to find a forest, preferably a place with few people.
Fortunately, the brothers came in many carriages, so Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue didn't care about anything else and just drove away in a carriage.
Yun Ruoyang thought that if her sister went to pick up the people from the Duke of Ying's Mansion, then who knows, someone might come to stay here tonight.
They had bought a house in town before, but only cleaned up a few rooms. The rest of the houses were empty and had not been cleaned up yet.
Yun Ruoyang took her five brothers back to the town, and the Xiao family suddenly became quiet.
After Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue left Taohua Village in their carriage, they ran directly towards the woods they had seen before.
This place is basically tropical, and the trees in the woods we saw before are tall and provide good cover.
The two men drove the carriage directly into the woods, and only put it away when they saw that there was no one around.
On the way there, in order to save resources, the two best friends flew a helicopter.
Mu Ruxue was flying the plane, and Yun Ruoxi was responsible for watching the road.
Before leaving, Yun Ruoyang clearly described the route that her grandparents had mentioned in the letter.
Considering that Yongzhou had just experienced a drought, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, they planned to bypass Yongzhou and head towards the slightly more remote Yongzhou, and then directly to Qizhou.
Yun Ruoxi calculated the distance the carriage would take them 20 days, and considering that everyone was not in a hurry.
Now the team of the Duke of Yingzhou should have just passed Liangzhou and is at the intersection of Liangzhou and Yongzhou.
If it goes faster, it should reach Yongzhou. If it goes slower, it should still reach Liangzhou.
Yun Ruoxi's destination was Liangzhou first. There was a helicopter, so the two of them left in two hours.
The two of them took turns flying the helicopter along the way, otherwise they would have been exhausted.
However, after arriving in Liangzhou, Yun Ruoxi was a little confused, because every city had already started a curfew and the city gates were closed. The two best friends could not enter the city even if they wanted to.
Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue simply found an inn on the official road from Liangzhou to Yongzhou and rested for a while.
Yun Ruoxi wanted to take a gamble. Her grandparents were old, so their speed was definitely not that fast. They definitely hadn't reached Yongzhou yet.
Moreover, this road is the only way from Liangzhou to Yongzhou, and there is only this official road.
Even if we wanted to take a small path, the only way was a mountain road. It was simply unrealistic for a carriage and so many people to take a mountain road.
Mu Ruxue had no requirements on where to live. As long as she could be with her best friend, she would be happy even if she went out to make a living.
This inn looks well built from the outside, but an inn of this size is obviously not a government inn, but a private inn.
In order to make it easier to walk, Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue simply disguised themselves as men and walked towards the inn together.
Because it was late, the two best friends knocked on the door of the inn for a quarter of an hour before someone came to open it.
"Who is it? If you come, stop knocking."
Only after hearing someone respond from inside did Mu Ruxue stop knocking on the door.
After a while, the door of the inn was opened. A servant peeked in and opened the door. Seeing that there were only two handsome young men outside, he felt relieved immediately.
"Are you two here for a quick stopover or to stay at the inn?"
Mu Ruxue said angrily: "Isn't that nonsense? At this hour, we must stay in a hotel."
The waiter said with an embarrassed look on his face, "But we only have one lower-class room left."
Mu Ruxue waved her hand nonchalantly, "Then just give me two superior rooms. It's not like we can't afford it."
The waiter hurriedly explained: "Sir, you misunderstood. This is the only room we have in the entire inn. I don't know, sir!"
Mu Ruxue's face was clearly filled with disbelief. "Hey, what's wrong with you, waiter? Are you worried we can't afford the money, or what? From the outside, your inn looks quite large. Besides, it's on the official road, not in the city, so how can you get so many customers? I think you just don't want us to stay."
The waiter was on the verge of collapse and hurriedly explained, "Sir, you've wronged me. A caravan of over 100 people arrived during the day, and all the courtyards in our inn are full. This is the only lower-class room left, which was previously a warehouse and was temporarily converted into it two days ago. The caravan that came earlier didn't like it, so it was vacated."
Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue looked at each other, not expecting that it was because of this reason.
Mu Ruxue waved her hand impatiently, "Alright, alright, we'll stay in this lower-class room. Remember to take our horse out and feed it some fodder."
As she spoke, Mu Ruxue threw a ten-liang silver ingot to the waiter.
The second brother was originally in a bad mood because his sweet dream was disturbed, but now when he saw the silver ingot in the vector, he was no longer unhappy.
Even his expression changed from cloudy to sunny, and he smiled so hard that you could almost see his back teeth.
"Well, sir, just wait and see. Your horse will be in good spirits tomorrow morning and will certainly not delay your trip."
