Chapter 262 - 107: Returning Home_5
Jiang Li’s lips curved into a bitter smile.
The reality was quite the contrary, Xue Huaiyuan had not risen to prominence but had instead become a prisoner, which was utterly absurd.
"Let’s go," Ye Mingyu urged the caravan to continue moving forward.
Tongxiang was unlike Yanjing City or Xiangyang, there were no soldiers guarding the city gates. It was probably because there were so few people entering and exiting Tongxiang that even a layer of dust had accumulated on the stone statues at the city gate. In the absence of soldiers, occasionally a few herb gatherers with baskets on their backs, probably returning from the mountains, passed by the gate. They sometimes cast curious glances at Ye Mingyu and his companions, likely because their faces were unfamiliar.
Tongxiang was small, and the locals were almost all acquainted with each other, even if they couldn’t name everyone, they could at least recognize faces. As soon as they entered, Tonger and Bai Xue felt it was not as lively as Xiangyang or Yanjing, but there was still a simple and unpretentious charm to the place.
Ye Mingyu walked over to the side of the carriage and asked Jiang Li, "Ah Li, where do you want to go?" He had passed the decision-making power to Jiang Li, seemingly to let her take charge of her own affairs.
Jiang Li thought for a moment and said, "With so many of us, it’s inconvenient to move around, let’s find a place to settle first."
"Right, should we stay at an inn..." Ye Mingyu hadn’t finished his sentence when he was interrupted by Jiang Li, "Inns here wouldn’t be convenient, better to find a guesthouse to rent for a while."
