"Lin Mo, what are your plans next?" Tomon's voice was somewhat muffled in the rain, but he still walked over resolutely and patted Lin Mo on the shoulder.
"Go to the capital; my three wives are there!"
"Are you familiar with the road?" asked Tomon's friend, Stone Serpent.
This man was short and thin, nearly fifty years old, with a gray beard.
Like Tomon, they came to Great Xia as servants of the gods, but they had already lost their divine power...
“I only know the Great Dao,” Lin Mo said, glancing at Iria beside him.
"Why are you looking at me like that? I've already completed my mission." Iria frowned slightly, a hint of unease flashing in her eyes.
Lin Mo coughed lightly and said seriously, "We need a guide." His words revealed an undeniable firmness. "You should know the secret routes to the capital like the back of your hand, right?"
They couldn't walk on the main road because it would be easy for the Xia soldiers to recognize them.
The news he had just heard from those gossips made Lin Mo's mood even heavier. The countries of Qiuzi, Dashi, and Dongpango had joined forces and divided up the territory of Daxia into pieces.
Lin Mo no longer has the system and can no longer use it to exchange for troops.
To defeat these enemies, we cannot easily deplete the military strength of the Great Xia.
Now, a guide familiar with the terrain is undoubtedly the help they desperately need.
At the same time, it is much better to go and rescue people privately than to lead a large army to rescue people!
"The capital? I'm not going!" Aria quickly refused. "From what you're saying, you're going to rescue your wives, right? Heh, not to discourage you, but just the few of us? You think you can get them out of the heavily guarded capital's prison?"
And there's more than one?
"Hey buddy, this is practically suicide!"
“I know,” Lin Mo’s voice was firm and deep, “but they are my wives, and I must save them no matter what!”
"Haha, what a man of steel! I admire you more and more now."
"No, I've only been in this world for a short time, and I haven't had enough fun yet!" Aria retorted coquettishly.
"Miss, money is no object!" said the stone snake. "As long as you're willing to walk the road, name your price!"
“Aha,” Iria’s eyes lit up at the mention of money, “the fee will be doubled!”
"You hairless monkey, all you ever think about is money, money, money!" Tomon laughed and scolded.
"You hairy ape, you want to fight, don't you?"
Lin Mo sighed, then looked into the distance. "Ruoxi, Qing'er, Churan! Wait for me..."

The road ahead is long and stretches to the horizon!
Although Aria knew the map by heart, after seven days of traveling north, she realized that what the map said was one thing, but in reality, there was something else entirely.
On the day the four left Yongzhou, the sky sprinkled snowflakes as fine as dust, as if sending off a faint sadness with their departure. With each step they took, the chill grew stronger, and the once bustling world fell silent in the cold atmosphere.
The once wide avenue gradually narrowed, eventually becoming a road only slightly wider than a forest path.
To the west of the road are rolling limestone hills, and on the hilltops rise watchtowers that seem to pierce the clouds.
The east side of the road presents a different scene, with the terrain gradually sloping down until it reaches the far end of the road.
On the third day after leaving Yongzhou, the lush green fields gradually faded into the distance, replaced by a deep and dense forest. The once wide road gradually disappeared among the vegetation, becoming deserted, and the hills grew increasingly steep.
By the fifth day, the scenery before them had completely transformed. It was a majestic mountain range, like a giant wearing a gray-blue cloak, with snow-capped peaks and steep cliffs on its shoulders.
Whenever the north wind howls, the icicles cascading down from the peaks resemble countless slender flags, fluttering in the cold wind and shimmering with a cold and sharp light.
When he left the border city, he took all his warmest clothes, only to find that they weren't enough. It was terrifyingly cold there, and the temperature was still dropping.
The temperature at night had already dropped below freezing, and whenever the north wind blew, it cut into his warmest coat like a sharp knife.
"Lin Mo, we've already entered the capital's territory. What are your plans now that we're here?" Iria pulled her coat tighter around herself.
Lin Mo was focused on the safety of Sun Ruoxi and her group, but he overlooked other issues.
First, how do you sneak into the city?
