"Girl, if we go through that little town ahead and walk for another day, we'll reach the border."
"Tomorrow, we will be able to return to Mantuo City! And then wait for that guy Pofeng to come and greet us!"
A smile finally appeared on Zhuiyu's face.
The journey back from Hala City was not very difficult, but it was not very smooth either.
Experience the yellow sand.
Experienced bandits.
They also experienced a cold wind as sharp as a meat scraper that forced all of them into a cave, leaving them unable to move for three days.
There were even more than thirty people who were so hungry that their stomachs were rumbling, but they all spontaneously saved all the food they could eat for the girls.
Along the way, everyone walked slower and slower because they were concerned about Li Qingluo's growing belly.
To this day, it has been almost two months since we finally reached the border.
Li Qingluo got off the carriage.
Que'er and Madam Zheng hurried forward and supported her on both sides, "Miss, please go slowly."
The robe couldn't cover Li Qingluo's bulging belly.
Although Li Qingluo felt that he was still agile, it would not be a problem for him to mount a horse and wield a sword to kill the enemy.
But ever since everyone knew the truth, she couldn't even touch her longbow again, let alone pick up a sword.
She is obviously the master.
Now, each of them is her master.
Even the killers, headed by Sha Yi, have now grown their own opinions and dared to ignore her requests!
Just like Sha Twenty-Seven, as the weakest and youngest one among the Sha group, he always looked at Li Qingluo with bright eyes of expectation, hoping that her orders would also fall on him.
But when Li Qingluo secretly asked him to steal the bow, he turned out to be deaf.
He walked past Li Qingluo without looking around.
Li Qingluo: ...
She also secretly tried to win over other killers several times. Not to mention making them deaf, there were even some who had clearly made eye contact with her but suddenly became blind.
Li Qingluo: ...
Never mind, they all have their own brains now and have grown strong enough.
She couldn't force them anymore.
It was thanks to Que'er and Nanny Zheng's thoughtfulness that they did not confiscate the small weapons on Li Qingluo's body and allowed her to touch and play with them. Otherwise, Li Qingluo was really afraid that her hands would get moldy and rusty.
By the time I can wield a sword again one day, I'll have forgotten even the moves.
Finally, she finally made it to the border.
Now she is not even allowed to ride a horse and can only sit in the carriage and sway back and forth. These two months have been like a prison-like torture.
Days like this are finally coming to an end.
After admiring the vast frontier scenery for a while, Li Qingluo felt a little confused: he wondered how long this peace could last.
"Let's go. Let's stay in the town before dark. After a night's rest, we'll continue our journey tomorrow."
The group was about to turn around and go down the mountain, and Cang Xuan, who was still looking out, suddenly noticed something was wrong.
"etc!"
"Look, what is that?"
Dense black dots were moving from far to near, and from a distance they looked like a group of ants, but everyone knew that they were not ants at all.
But there were countless people who could not be found, the Western Region Army who had come from a long expedition...
Everyone's expression changed drastically.
Que'er: "Miss, we didn't hear any noise along the way. How come they suddenly gathered so many troops?"
"Are they...are they here to attack Mantuo City?"
Li Qingluo narrowed his eyes slightly. "The Western Regions were jointly built by thirteen small nations and the Imperial Court, and the troops were also jointly assembled by the thirteen small nations."
"I don't know how many cities Da Chu had lost before, Your Highness has recovered now."
"But they must have suffered a defeat in the Western Region."
"Otherwise, there would be no sudden increase in troops."
"And they arrived so quickly, so they must have been sent by the nearest small country."
"Shayi, take a few people with you to find out which country these troops are from."
"Zhuiyu, send a letter to Mantuo City and tell Pofeng about this."
"The rest of you, we have to travel overnight and go around the city gate."
Everyone became nervous and serious, and immediately lowered their heads to work seriously. Soon the group set off again.
I had originally planned to stay in the town for one night, but this time I headed straight for the border and didn’t dare to stay any longer.
Even though they were tired, the group just built a fire on the side of the road and took a short rest.
When Sha Yi rushed back, the sky was already glowing red.
"Girl, I asked around, it's..."
Sha Yijiang reported the names of several small countries, and Li Qingluo was surprised to hear a familiar name.
"Eagle Kingdom? Is the Queen Mother of Eagle Kingdom eager to show her loyalty to the Imperial Court?"
"It's only been a short while since the internal troubles were stopped, yet they still dare to send troops at this time."
"But just as I expected, these are all small countries relatively close to the Central Plains, except for the Eagle Kingdom."
"It's true that the Eagle Kingdom helped overthrow that general of Bazaar... but we've been to the Eagle Kingdom before, so we know a little bit about their background."
Li Qingluo lay on the soft cushions in the carriage, thinking over and over in her mind that perhaps she could intimidate these Western Region soldiers without anyone noticing.
"Zhuiyu, has there been any reply from Mantuo City?"
The distance is so close, so the message should be transmitted quickly.
However, Zhui Yu frowned and shook her head: "Girl, there is no reply."
Li Qingluo slowly sat up. "No reply? Are you sure you sent it?"
