Feng Jinghan, who was being nagged by An Ge, was listening to his subordinate's report with a headache. He rubbed his temples and asked, "Are you sure they're heading towards Huaixi City?"
"Yes, this is General Bai's letter."
Feng Jinghan took the letter, quickly read it through, and understood the whole story.
His dear cousin is really good at causing trouble. Why doesn't she stay on the border and come all alone to Huaixi City?
Feng Jinghan sighed. He had originally planned to stay at an inn for a while before returning to the capital, but his cousin Bai Yurou had quarreled with her family and left home with a note.
It was only when the maid recalled that her mistress had been inquiring about the situation in Huaixi City that she suspected her cousin had come to Huaixi City.
Thinking of this, Feng Jinghan felt his head throb even more. Although the imperial court had intensified its efforts to suppress bandits, and the bandit problem had decreased considerably, natural disasters continued to occur in the north, resulting in a large number of refugees along the way.
Although Yu Rou has some martial arts skills, it is still too dangerous for a girl to travel this way.
Traveling south from the north, the continuous, undulating Cangshan Mountain range acts as a massive barrier. For caravans to sell goods from the north to the south, it typically took two or three days to navigate around the mountains and then travel south.
"Ding-a-ling!" The carriage moved forward slowly and steadily on the bumpy road.
“Young master, we won’t go to the next city. You can see the city wall after walking about ten miles from here,” the caravan leader said to a man who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old.
The man was dressed in white, with delicate features; anyone who saw him would sigh that he was a handsome young man.
"Aren't you going south?" asked the young master, Bai Yurou, who was dressed as a man, with a puzzled look.
Contrary to her name, Bai Yurou is actually quite feisty and possesses martial arts skills that rival those of men.
She had originally planned to travel with the caravan for a while before turning back to Huaixi City. According to the plan, she wouldn't separate from the caravan for at least three days.
Bai Yurou wasn't worried about herself alone, otherwise she wouldn't have run away; she was just curious about the caravan's itinerary.
The leader smiled mysteriously and said, "Young master, it's been a long time since you've been to Huaixi City. According to the people in Huaixi City, there's an inn run by an immortal in these Cangshan Mountains. Just follow this road and you'll find it. We're going to try our luck, so we won't delay your journey."
Bai Yurou was taken aback at first, then looked at the leader with an incredulous expression and asked, "You're going to venture deep into the mountains just because of a legend? Aren't merchants supposed to be the most shrewd? How could you be so impulsive?"
Bai Yurou naturally didn't believe there really was a Fairy Inn. She was even puzzled as to why her cousin was so unrestrained by the rumors. Could it be true, as her grandfather said, that her cousin was currently in a difficult situation and hadn't yet taken control of his fiefdom?
The leader, seemingly aware of the other party's thoughts, wasn't angry. He simply chuckled and said, "If it's not true, it's fine. This shipment is on a tight schedule; we were planning to cross the Cangshan Mountains anyway. We have a large group this time, so we're not afraid of anything. If we really do encounter a celestial inn, wouldn't that be even better?"
Bai Yurou thought for a moment and said, "I don't have anything important to do, so I'll continue walking with you."
As for the inn, she had no expectations whatsoever.
The merchants had witnessed Bai Yurou's skills and were naturally eager to travel with her. So, after a short rest, the group headed towards Cangshan Mountain.
Shortly afterward, a group of people rushed by; they were the people Feng Jinghan had arranged to meet Bai Yurou.
When a pure white two-story building appeared before Bai Yurou's eyes, she felt that her previous understanding of people had been overturned.
Good heavens! There really is an inn in this Cangshan mountain range.
Feeling slightly dizzy, she followed the cheering caravan into the inn, mechanically checked in, and only collapsed onto the soft bed when she returned to her room.
"This sneaking out was totally worth it!"
Once she regained consciousness, Bai Yurou couldn't resist exploring the inn. After enjoying the delicious food, she didn't hesitate to book a long-term room for herself.
She made up her mind that she would stay at the inn until her parents changed their minds.
As Bai Yurou sat in the restaurant enjoying the delicious food, she felt like she had forgotten something.
"Never mind, it's not important anyway." After saying that, she happily immersed herself in the food again.
Meanwhile, at the Duan Prince's residence, Feng Jinghan received a letter from his subordinates and was pacing anxiously back and forth.
"Send more people to inquire about Miss Biao's whereabouts along the way, and report back immediately if there is any news."
"Yes!" the servant replied.
The Prince Duan's mansion was bustling with activity once again. The aristocratic families of Huaixi City, who had just experienced a major purge, were guessing the Prince Duan's intentions and were in a state of panic. They reprimanded their own纨绔子弟 (sons of wealthy and powerful families) and ordered them not to misbehave again.
In a short time, the atmosphere in Huaixi City improved considerably.
"Ding! Current task progress: 1000/1000, positive feedback rate reached 90%, task completed, do you want to claim the reward?" At this moment, An Ge was planning to discuss the next trip with Hu Jiu when she received the system message and immediately perked up.
The inn can finally be upgraded again!
"Yes!" An Ge accepted the reward without hesitation and then spent her points to click "upgrade".
Now that she earns a considerable income every day, she naturally doesn't feel bad about spending her points.
Fortunately, An Ge and the others cleaned up the area around the inn whenever they had free time, and the area occupied by this upgrade was sufficient.
To An Ge's delight, the boundless space that had initially piqued her curiosity finally revealed its true nature.
Boundless Space: The host can freely choose learning projects to enter the space for study. After entering the space, external time stands still. The host can only exit the space after reaching the prescribed level of study. If the host encounters an accident, the host will automatically exit the Boundless Space.
The Boundless Space opens once a month.
