Shao Yunduan found her serious expression amusing. “Alright, alright, we can give it a try next year!”

“Yes, next year will be fine!”

Qiao Xuan felt a surge of happiness. She placed the potatoes back in the middle compartment, but she still worried about the valuable seeds.

She decided that storing them in the storage s.p.a.ce would be the safest option.

Before long, they arrived at the State of Zheng.

The city was a vast metropolis situated in the central plains, far more expansive and prosperous than the province they came from.

Even before entering the city, they could sense the bustle and magnificence of this ancient place.

The official road stretched wide and flat, flanked by towering trees on both sides. The road was teeming with people, and numerous caravans transported large quant.i.ties of goods into the city.

Inside the wagon, they lifted a corner of the curtain and peered outside. The city wall, reaching high into the sky, appeared as imposing as a mountain, seemingly exerting pressure.

As they approached the gate, the crowd of people and sedan chairs grew denser. It was a lively scene, but their progress slowed down.

By noon, they caught sight of the city gate from a distance, yet they didn’t enter until four in the afternoon.

Boss Tangs business had a warehouse and a designated resting place, so they hurriedly unloaded the goods, leaving no time for a proper farewell with Shao Yunduan and the others.

Having spent so much time together, they had formed a good bond. Thus, parting ways brought about a tinge of sadness for all of them.

They had made plans to gather again after their return to the province, but whether that would ever come to fruition remained uncertain.

Shao Yunduan, Qiao Xuan, and the others located an inn and requested three high-cla.s.s rooms and two standard rooms. They intended to stay here for a few days before resuming their journey.

Their first order of business was to relax and rest, as the remaining part of their journey would not be as leisurely. They had to cover a minimum of 300 li each day.

While the official road to the north was wide and even, with few remote areas along the way, they couldn’t afford to be careless or delay without a large accompanying group. Thus, they pushed their pace as much as possible, hoping to reach the capital sooner for added security.

Night fell, bringing about a serene atmosphere.

The next day, Shao Yunduan, Lu Min, and Gu Zhiyou approached the inn manager to inquire about repairing their wagon.

It was in need of repairs.

They sought out a reputable Escort Agency in the area and decided to hire three or four escorts from the agency. With their original group of masters and servants, they now numbered over ten people. This arrangement made them feel more secure.

Qiao Xuan offered rea.s.surance, mentioning that it was a time of peace and prosperity, and they were traveling along the official road. There was no reason to worry; they would surely be fine.

Upon hearing this, Lu Min and Gu Zhiyou felt comforted. They repeatedly praised Qiao Xuan, claiming she was superior to them.

In truth, Qiao Xuan wasn’t trying to console them. She wasn’t afraid at all. She would simply exercise caution along the way and rely on her superpower to survey everything within a ten-mile radius.

No powerful thieves could hide from her.

Even before they approached, she could manipulate the vines and branches in the mountains to incapacitate them.

During the journey with the caravan, they pa.s.sed through some remote areas with complex terrain. Qiao Xuan remained vigilant, utilizing her superpower to observe her surroundings.

However, the journey remained peaceful, devoid of any strange occurrences..
