The swordsman also appeared pensive.
But when Song You glanced over, the swordsman’s expression turned calm again as he clasped his sword and said to him. “Sir.”
“Yes?”
“I’d like to head into town to buy a saddle bag,” the swordsman said, glancing at the saddle bag on the jujube-red horse’s back. “I’ll also get a set of thin bedding and padding. It’ll be easier for northern travel.”
“Shall I come with you?”
“No need,” Shu Yifan replied, glancing down the path. “Just past here is the north gate. I’ve asked Xu Mu, and there’s a shop selling bedding only on the south side. You could wait for me at the north gate, or, if you’d rather avoid the wait, feel free to start ahead along the road. I’ll ask for directions after I finish and catch up shortly.”
Song You thought for a moment before replying, “Then I’ll head out from the north gate and follow the main road.”
“Good!”
