As for why there are two—two people, more legs won't hurt, and she also feels sorry for her own pillow.
As soon as the reins broke, the arrogant Pillow kicked its front hoof, blasting aside the horse blocking the fence, and dashed out gracefully. Another horse followed closely behind, heading straight for the small back gate not far away.
This small door was the usual route used by the servants to transport horse manure. The two men, who had already figured out the route, had opened it, and now they could pass through without any obstruction.
Once they step outside, that's their domain.
The horse should be carried on the back of a pillow, with another horse following closely behind.
Behind the gate was an important "transportation channel," a smooth road where the two horses, released to roam freely, reached the city gate in just a few breaths.
With the Green Willow Manor's waist token, leaving the city gate couldn't be easier.
As evening fell, Hua Cai lay on a rock in the dense forest, watching a horse leisurely grazing on one side and occasionally kicking another horse's pillow. She gave a wry smile.
This scene looks so familiar.
When I first left Dadu, it was just like this, and now it seems I'm continuing down the same path.
With a thud, a wild rabbit was thrown to the ground in front of Hua Cai, startling her. Turning her head, she saw that he was probably chopping at a tree branch with his sword.
"Host, do you know anything about this person?" The system circled the rabbit on the ground twice, then went up to Ying and bumped his nose.
Hua Cai watched as she gathered the broken branches together, seemingly oblivious to what was happening. She tried to smile, but the effort only caused her pain.
"I'm not entirely sure, but it's most likely someone from the Ming Cult. Yang Xiao of the Ming Cult is truly a terrifying person."
The grilling skills seem to be quite good; just the aroma of the meat, which wafts for miles, is enough to make your mouth water.
However, ideals are beautiful, but reality—
Hua Cai chewed on the ash in her mouth, looking at what was supposedly a rabbit leg in her hand, her gaze constantly darting towards the fire, strongly suspecting that she might have taken the wrong roast meat and charcoal.
Struggling to swallow the charcoal-like roasted meat in her mouth, Hua Cai felt as if the wound in her throat was about to burst open again.
There's no other way; I have to eat it no matter how bad it tastes. I'm injured, so replenishing my strength is very important.
"I want to drink water." Hua Cai said the four words in a broken voice, but they were still quite clear.
They should reach out and grab a water bag from the horse's back and throw it to them.
Looking at the water bag lying beside her, Hua Cai gave a wry smile, reached out and pulled it over, unscrewing the stopper and sipping her water through a small opening.
Ever since Hua Cai brought up the deal, this person seems to have become even more indifferent.
"How long will it take us to get there?" Looking at the darkening sky, Hua Cai's head, which had been pounding, slowly calmed down.
"The day after tomorrow." A cold voice came from behind.
Hua Cai felt reassured, called over a pillow, rested her head on the soft horse's belly, and fell into a deep sleep.
He should be gnawing on the barely edible roasted meat in his hand, turning his head to look at the quiet people around him, his gaze shifting to the cleanly gnawed bones on the ground.
The next morning, Hua Cai woke up staggering. If she hadn't opened her eyes in time, she would have rolled on the ground again.
Barely managing to steady herself, Hua Cai angrily grabbed the horse's mane, and Pillow let out a wronged neigh. Hua Cai glared at it angrily.
"He won't die." Another group of riders, without even turning their heads, uttered three light words with slightly parted lips.
Hua Cai was furious and fiercely wrapped the reins around her wrist several times.
Hold back; it wouldn't be wise to turn against them now.
The road beneath her feet was not as good as when she first left the city. Fortunately, Hua Cai was now able to ride a horse on her own, except that her voice was still hoarse and the wounds on her neck had scabbed over. The five hideous wounds looked particularly gruesome.
Without her burden, they traveled at a great speed, and by noon the next day, the two had arrived at what should have been called Bright Summit.
Hua Cai reined in his horse at the foot of the mountain, surveying this godforsaken place.
"This is the legendary... Bright Summit?" Hua Cai was questioning her life.
He should spur his horse and stand beside Hua Cai, his voice firm: "That's right, what you said will be fulfilled."
"Boss, seriously, this is indeed Bright Summit." The system appeared with a flickering icon: "However, if you take a few steps back, it won't be."
Hua Cai was stunned and looked at Ying Gao speechlessly: "Big brother, you can't be serious."
Silence, a long silence.
"Alright." Hua Cai said helplessly, "Cheng Kun should be on Bright Peak now, the real Bright Peak."
His expression hardened, and a murderous aura instantly erupted from his body.
Hana-tsai had never seen anything like this before.
"How did you know—" His hand unconsciously reached for the hilt of the sword.
"I can't say. If you believe me, hurry back to Bright Peak and make preparations. If you don't believe me, you can kill me and go back to Bright Peak to verify if what I said is true." Hua Cai's palms were sweating nervously as she forced herself not to appear too cowardly.
They're not really going to kill me, are they? We've been through thick and thin together.
How do I know Cheng Kun's whereabouts? — It depends on the plot, it's absolutely true and effective, but I can't tell anyone.
He gave him a deep look, pulled on the reins, and turned to head up the mountain.
"We should be careful of Yuanzhen." Hua Cai couldn't help but call out as she watched the man in black gradually disappear into the distance.
The person in front was taken aback and turned around in confusion.
Hua Cai gave him a bright smile and waved vigorously, saying, "Thank you."
If it weren't for some reason, her preparations at Green Willow Manor would have been incredibly difficult.
Taking the pillow from Green Willow Manor and getting here wouldn't have been so smooth.
At the very least, without a waist token, she might not even be able to leave the city gate.
He stared at her blankly, then suddenly pointed to his eye socket, turned around, and galloped away on horseback.
"Huh? Is there something on my eyes?" Hua Cai touched her eyes curiously and muttered to herself.
"The bruises you got from last time are almost healed," the system kindly reminded you.
Uh—Hua Cai is ashamed. I've been too busy lately and almost forgot about this. No wonder Lu Zhangke's eyes were so strange the other day.
"However, boss," the system's voice hesitated, "if you just tell him Cheng Kun is at Bright Peak, won't that affect the future plot? What if—"
“I know what I’m doing.” Hua Cai stroked the soft mane of the horse. “Even if I don’t say anything, Zhang Wuji will find out soon enough. I guess it’s probably someone from Yang Xiao’s Ming Cult. Even Yang Xiao himself can’t get in, so how could he possibly sneak into the secret passage and expose Cheng Kun?”
“I just told him to be careful of Yuanzhen, I don’t know if he can connect the two to the same person.” Hua Cai sighed, pulled the reins and turned around a few times, then suddenly slapped his forehead: “Oh no, I forgot to ask where there are houses nearby. In this desolate wilderness, let alone food and lodging, we can’t even find our way around.”
He looked in the direction he should have left, tears welling up in his eyes, but there was no one there anymore.
