Chapter 1464: Token (4)
On the fifth day, a city finally appeared ahead.
"Missus," Yang Xiong sought Yang Ruxin’s opinion, "that city up ahead is Yong City. If we keep moving, we can reach Meng City by tonight. Should we enter the city or..."
Yong City? Yang Ruxin glanced at the city gate and then kicked her stirrups: "Let’s not enter now. We’ll have the chance in the future."
Along the way, Shadow Seven recounted in detail all that Gu Qingheng had encountered after setting off on his campaign, not even omitting anyone he had come into contact with. Among them was the guard of Yong City, Li Zhaoru, who had boy and girl twins. His daughter, Li Mingyin, was a woman not to be trifled with. It was her collaboration with Gu Qingheng that successfully captured Ji Lin last time.
The group skirted around Yong City and headed towards Meng City.
The further north they went, the more desolate it became. Before reaching Yong City, there were villages from time to time and fields on both sides. But after passing Yong City, there were fewer crops and more barren hills and wastelands, with virtually no villages. However, numerous refugees could be seen.
Because there were quite a few travelers around, Yang Ruxin had previously put Xiaobai and Xiaolun into a space, reasoning that they could be summoned anytime when needed, which was very convenient.
"These are all civilians from Governor’s Office Pass and Jin City," Shadow Seven’s complexion had been awful since they passed Yong City. "Governor’s Office City hasn’t been recaptured yet, but Jin City is now in ruins..."
Du Man and Du Juan also had very unpleasant expressions on their faces.
Yang Ruxin said nothing, just urged Zhui Yun on relentlessly. Zhui Yun seemed to understand its master’s urgency, racing ahead with wind-swift hooves. The mounts chosen by Du Man, Du Juan, and Shadow Seven, although they were wild horses from the mountains, how could they possibly outpace Zhui Yun? That was personally selected by Xiaobai.
