This time, it was Lu Qiqi's turn to wait at the foot of the mountain.
Although the people who originally lived in Yushan Town either fled or died, we cannot let our guard down.
If their horses were stolen by thieves, it would be difficult for their group of a dozen or so people to reach the border.
While Li Changlong was paying respects to the two elders, Lu Qiqi used her spatial storage to retrieve several handfuls of grass and feed them to the two horses.
