Even without Xiao Chi, Xiao Xuan still wore the white phoenix costume.
After that day, the Ghost Guards searched for him, but Xiao Chi had already left.
As can be seen from the live stream, he has already set off to return to the Northern Barbarian Lands, and the atmosphere around him is frighteningly oppressive.
Xiao Zhixing and his group continued south, and half a month later, they officially entered Dongzhou.
What a coincidence, the road in the northern state just happens to reach the border between the two states.
The people of Beizhou held their chins high, beaming with pride.
The people of Dongzhou craned their necks, their eyes filled with envy.
When the road was completed, the people of Dongzhou shamelessly went up to take a look, and immediately became even more envious.
"Haha, sister, our Beizhou has now become a treasure land that people envy."
In just over six months, even the border areas have undergone various noticeable changes.
The first thing they arrived at was the road, followed by the land reclamation team and the militia training team, and then the branch of the Beizhou Medical Hall, the construction site of the primary school, and the settlement of the patrol and security office.
With strong financial support, the implementation of policies has brought about tremendous changes to the land of Beizhou.
Xiao Zhixing rode Blood Night past a group of Dongzhou people who had run to check the road, including many scholars.
At this moment, the eight members of the Shi family also joined them and walked around her.
His height quickly became the focus of attention.
However, everyone was in a hurry to see the cement road, and no one realized her identity.
"Your Highness, ahead is Mogan County in Dongzhou. If you go east along the coast, you'll reach Hailuo County, and beyond that, you'll reach Feixian Port," Bai Mei explained, indicating the directions.
Xiao Zhixing nodded, "Go directly to Hailuo County."
In Feixianling, Hailuo County, Shi Erbao is still waiting for her "master" to come and recognize her.
Feixian Port, the largest port in Feixian Ridge in the past, was visited once by 179. This time, he went to see Feng Zhen'er, who is now stationed there.
The group turned east.
Having grown accustomed to paved roads, even the horses found it difficult to adapt to walking on dirt and sandy paths.
Blood Night snorted and cursed all the way.
Xiao Zhixing had to say a lot of coaxing words to calm it down.
Xiao Xuan curled his lip, "Pretentious horse!"
Blood Night glared at him, then bumped his head against him.
Xiao Xuan was so angry he wanted to grind his teeth.
The coastal scenery of Dongzhou is beautiful, and you can occasionally see wooden boats going out to sea and fishermen coming and going.
The world has great awe for the sea, and that mysterious place terrifies them, so there are very few villages by the sea.
Only those who are exiled or driven from their villages for committing crimes are forced to live by the sea, because no one will compete with them for the land.
Therefore, the seaside was also a haven for sea bandits.
Even government officials and yamen runners were unwilling to come to these places.
"Hey? Sister, look, is there a robbery going on up ahead?"
Yes, it was that brazen. A group of bandits carrying hoes, machetes, and rakes were robbing two donkey carts in broad daylight.
Perhaps seeing that the group of dozens of them were all carrying knives, the bandits, seeing them from afar, wisely ran away and disappeared into the forests on both sides.
Upon approaching, a man who appeared to be a steward ran over gratefully, bowed, and said, "Thank you for saving us. On behalf of my young lady, I thank you all!"
Xiao Zhixing waved his hand, "You're too kind, we didn't do anything."
At this moment, a girl wearing a veiled hat got off the donkey cart. She helped the old woman and gracefully curtsied, saying, "This humble woman thanks everyone for their help."
Her voice was as melodious as a nightingale's.
When Xiao Zhixing first saw the girl wearing a veil, she had always thought that the people of Dasheng were open-minded and that the girls were all as generous and unashamed to show their faces as she had seen.
Is this only the case in Dongzhou?
The other party seemed to have just realized that Xiao Zhixing was a woman, and that most of the guards accompanying her were also women.
Especially the eight giants, including Shi Jiaowu.
Such an obvious feature would be immediately apparent to anyone with a modicum of awareness and knowledge.
The veiled girl hesitated for a moment, then asked in a sweet voice, "Could it be... could it be Prince Yuansheng?!"
Xiao Zhixing nodded, "It is indeed I, the King."
"Ah, greetings to Prince Yuansheng!" The girl's voice couldn't help but be filled with joy.
The others hurriedly bowed.
The maids and nannies in the group couldn't help but secretly and curiously observe Xiao Zhixing.
Xiao Zhixing glanced at them. "I just happened to be passing by. Where are you headed, young lady? Would you like to come along?"
Do one good deed on the day.
The girl bowed happily, "Feng Hui'er thanks Your Highness, I... I need to go to Feixian Port..."
Xiao Zhixing raised an eyebrow and carefully examined the slender girl. "Feng Hui'er? Is she the eldest daughter of the Feng family's main branch, your cousin Zhen'er?"
Feng Huier gently lifted the front of her veil, revealing a beautiful face as lovely as the moon. "It is indeed my daughter. I apologize for making you laugh, Your Highness."
Xiao Zhixing looked on with admiration; everyone wants to take a second look at a beautiful woman.
After introducing themselves, they set off together.
After some investigation, it was discovered that Feng Huier was indeed on her way to Feixian Port to find Feng Zhener.
She brought guards with her; even without Xiao Zhixing and his group scaring away the bandits, they could have easily dealt with them.
Feng Huier gently leaned against the car window and spoke to her, "They only want money. It's been like this all the way. Give them a little tip and they'll let you pass."
They were just haggling.
Xiao Zhixing chuckled. No wonder Feng Huier wasn't panicked. The Feng family was also at ease letting such a beauty like her go out. These bandits from Dongzhou were quite well-behaved.
Feng Huier blinked her bright, gentle eyes through the gauze window and said softly, "I heard from my uncle that there are no bandits in Beizhou?"
Xiao Zhixing nodded, "There is a demand for labor everywhere in Beizhou. As long as you are not lazy, you can always earn a living. Apart from those vicious criminals, most bandits have long since become law-abiding citizens."
Those who didn't behave like law-abiding citizens were naturally dealt with by her men and killed.
Feng Huier looked on longingly and said in a gentle voice, "That's wonderful."
Xiao Zhixing thought, "This is a kind-hearted crystal girl."
