Chapter 1227: Traveling Together
Little Treasure and Little Bear quickly bought enough goods to fill up two carts. On the day Ogedei prepared to leave the inn, they also asked their guards to pack up and leave.
When the two teams bumped into each other at the entrance of the inn, Little Treasure looked at Ogedei and the others in surprise. "What a coincidence. Are you guys leaving today too?"
Although Ogedei wanted to work with the two youths, he did not want to complicate matters at this time, so he only nodded with an aloof expression.
Not minding it, Little Treasure glanced at their convoy and smiled. "It’s a pity that we’re going different ways. Otherwise, not only would it be safer to travel together, but I could also pick up some riding skills from Uncle Naji."
Ogedei’s heart skipped a beat. "Where are you heading?"
"We’re done purchasing goods, so we’re going back to Jiangnan."
"There are many paths back to Jiangnan. Which one are you taking?"
Little Treasure said matter-of-factly, "Of course we’re going west via Taiyuan. The roads there are well-laid, and there are fewer bandits."
From here to Taiyuan, one had to pass through Weizhou, and the gold and silver mines Ogedei was heading were near Weizhou. Coincidentally, he was going the same way as these two youths.
The paranoid Ogedei couldn’t help but suspect this coincidence, so he didn’t tell the two youths that he was also going to go to Weizhou.
