Chapter 802 - 97: Academy Debate on Tao, Just a Mere Commoner!
The climate of Central State, compared to Jiangzhou, is somewhat drier. Zhao Dabing felt his throat was a little dry, and the salted roasted peanuts didn’t taste as good as usual, making his throat feel scratchy.
He took a sip of the overnight strong tea to rinse his mouth, leisurely driving forward. The Xue Family’s carriage, rather than calling it a carriage, should be called a caravan, conveniently doing business here in Central State, with Miss personally leading the team, accompanied by Chen Qingyan.
"Now that we’re in Central State, we’re not far from the Imperial City. Central State is not as big as our Chen Country, just a thousand miles or so. Even if we take some time on the road, it won’t take too long."
After traveling for a while, although the sun was not so fierce, walking under the blazing sun was not a pleasant thing. The Xue Family’s caravan stopped to the side, forming a car formation, coincidentally where traveling merchants were selling goods.
The people in the carriage said a few words, and then Zhao Dabing went to call the traveling merchant team, saying, "Hey brother, what are you selling?!"
The seller was a thick and honest man, who answered, "Selling big jujubes and homemade wine, cheap with great flavor. Old brother, do you want some?"
Zhao Dabing laughed loudly, saying, "Come on, our shopkeeper sees you’re a bit tired, the sun is fierce. Why not come over to rest? We’re a bit thirsty from traveling ourselves, and since there’s wine and jujubes, let’s have a little to quench our thirst."
"Brother, what’s your name?"
The man said, "Me? I’m Shi Wu; this is my son."
"Shi Yisong."
He pointed to a half-grown boy over there, the child slightly tanned by the Central State sun, donned in cloth garments, with a wooden sword hanging from his waist, with a proud and head-high manner, quite self-assured.
