Qin Susu originally did not want to ride a horse.
At least riding in a horse-drawn carriage is more comfortable.
However, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to keep up with Qiu Yan's pace.
Since that night hunt, these hundred-odd soldiers have looked at Qiu Yan with new respect.
They often tried to find opportunities to strike up a conversation with Qiu Yan.
But no, they didn't have time.
They were either on their way or on the road.
When I'm relaxing, I either eat or sleep.
Along the way, they encountered countless refugees.
It goes without saying that it was because of the war in Northern Qi.
The refugees were pitiful, having endured a life of hardship and displacement, with corpses strewn everywhere.
A foul stench permeated the surrounding area.
Inside and outside the carriage, everyone was focused on getting on their way, and they had no choice but to avoid the passing refugees.
"We're in Qidu territory just ahead," Ling Ba said, pointing to the road sign ahead.
Qiu Yan looked closely at the fork in the road ahead. Hu Yanxun was right; indeed, only a month had passed, and they had already arrived in Northern Qi.
However, this is the border of Northern Qi, and it is still some distance from the capital of Qi.
"How much longer until we reach Qidu?" Qiu Yan asked Ling Ba.
"About... half a month." Actually, Ling Ba wasn't quite sure either.
Like Qiu Yan, this was also his first time passing through this place.
However, I heard that Qi's capital is located in the north, so they should be able to get there faster.
"Speed up the journey!" Qiu Yan was satisfied with the timeframe.
However, because she desperately wanted to know Gu Qian's current situation, she had to hurry, and hurry even more...
Upon first entering Northern Qi,
The people of Northern Qi living in the border city were impoverished and led miserable lives.
This is why they encountered so many refugees on their way here.
Qiu Yan was initially unaware that this border city had long since changed hands.
But when she saw that the leading general was wearing their Dongjin military uniform, she nodded silently.
The soldiers behind Ling Ba were also delighted.
However, because they were in a hurry to get somewhere, they didn't have time to exchange pleasantries.
Further on, some of the cities they encountered came under the control of Dongjin.
Some became ruins.
Inside the ruins, wrecked bodies were scattered everywhere.
Qiu Yan felt uneasy after just one glance.
After seeing it, Qin Susu could only gag.
If Qin Susu was like this, Zhu Juan was even more so; her eyes were brimming with tears, which flowed incessantly.
Upon seeing the severed limbs and dismembered body, Gu Xiaoran suddenly fell silent.
Seeing the cruelty of war, he missed his father terribly.
Because Zhu Juan was crying uncontrollably, he nestled in Zhao Juan's arms and comforted her.
Even lightning bolts lay down beside Zhu Juan.
Vera glanced out of the car window once, then dared not look again.
His lips turned deathly pale, and all he could do was pray for the souls of these innocent victims.
Ap kept his eyes tightly shut, his whole body trembling.
Ling Ba fell into deep thought.
Without a doubt, the ruins were the work of the Western Qin.
Qiu Yan's mind wasn't on the city.
The reason is that she can't change anything.
Day after day, they worked at breakneck speed.
Before we knew it, another ten days had passed.
Gu Xiaoran would often start her journey while still asleep.
Qiu Yan only stopped to rest after he fell asleep.
So, although they seemed to be traveling together, they barely exchanged a few words along the way.
Gu Xiaoran didn't complain, because they were going to find their father.
Like Qiu Yan, he also longed to see his father.
Having not seen her father for a year, Gu Xiaoran felt as if many years had passed.
"We'll reach the capital of Qi in about five hundred li," Ling Ba said to Qiu Yan after returning from scouting the route.
