The several routes that Yunshang had made before were firmly in her mind. Hearing what Liu Man said, she immediately realized which route she was talking about.
Yun Chang frowned. When she was in the palace, she didn't know what the border battlefield was like, and passing the border was the most important part of the whole itinerary, so she deliberately made seven or eight routes to prepare for any accidents. needs.
"Going to the desert?" Yun Chang stretched out her hand: "Bring me the map and let me have a look."
Liu Man quickly handed over the map.
Yun Chang's gaze swept across the map. For safety reasons, no marks were made on the map. Yun Shang compared several routes in her mind against the map.
"It's not impossible to walk in the desert, but I don't know much about the situation in the desert, is it safe?"
Liu Man nodded: "The dark guards have explored several routes back and forth, and the desert route is already considered the safest. It is winter now, and the possibility of sandstorms is extremely small, and because winter is the most scarce material in Yelang Kingdom At that time, there were many caravans going this way to our Xia Kingdom to buy winter supplies, so it would be easier for us to get out."
Yun Chang nodded: "Then go this way."
Yun Shangzai took a closer look at this route. This route is deserted all the way, and it will only pass through a city called Wuerhe City along the way.
Urho City is built on the largest oasis in this desert, and it is the only way for caravans to and from it.
From here to Urho City, it takes about seven or eight days, and from Urho City to Baicheng on the other side of the desert, it takes about five days.
Yun Shang curled her fingers slightly, this Wuerhe City is the only variable on this road.
It's just because most of the hidden stakes that she and Luo Qingyan sent to Yelang Kingdom were in the imperial capital of Yelang Kingdom, and there were also several other larger cities, but this Urho City was built on the desert The city is difficult to march in the desert, so it is not considered an important military city, the city is not big, and the population is not large. Therefore, there is no one from her in this city.
This always made her feel a little uneasy.
It was probably because Yunshang's gaze stayed on the city of Wuerhe for too long, so long that even Liu Man was not aware of it. Liu Man followed Yunshang's eyes and looked over: "Your Majesty is watching, this Uerhe City?"
Yun Shang nodded: "Is it possible, let's just go around it?"
Liu Man pondered for a moment, then frowned slightly: "I'm afraid it will be difficult. From here to the other side of the desert, it will take more than ten days to cross completely. For more than ten days, you can bring some food that is easy to store. Things that don’t take up so much space, but water is something to drink.”
"In the desert, the most lacking thing is the water source. Water must be brought from here, and we must bring enough water. We have a large number of people. It is really not easy to bring enough water for so many people on the road. And no one can guarantee that halfway Will there be any problems?"
"So, my subordinate's suggestion is to go to Urho City to resupply."
"Besides, there are checkpoints and watchtowers set up outside Wuerhe City, and people in the caravans will be interrogated. If we want to go around, we have to completely bypass the place where the watchtower can see. Then the detour will be too far. If you go around, I'm afraid it will take four or five days more travel."
Yun Chang nodded: "Okay, I understand, then let's go according to the original plan."
Yun Shang put away the map: "Clean up, we will set off tomorrow morning."
In order to better camouflage, the dark guard made a special trip to buy a lot of things according to the list of Yelang country merchants, and hid all the weapons among those things, leaving only some easy-to-carry weapons.
Yunshang and his party consisted of more than 30 people, divided into three caravans, and set off successively.
Yunshang found a dark child about ten years old to pretend to be the young master, and disguised herself as a deaf and dumb middle-aged woman, accompanying her as the young master's nanny.
Indeed, as Liu Man said, although this road will pass through a large desert, it is already the safest route when the two countries are in chaos. Two Yelang country caravans were captured.
The people of Yelang Kingdom are very cheerful, they are familiar with each other, and they can chat with anyone.
Yunshang was sitting in the carriage, and could hear the voices of the caravan in front of him asking about the hidden guards. Yunshang didn't understand the Yelang dialect very well, but the child named Sui An, who grew up in the border gate, was familiar with the Yelang dialect. Familiar with some.
"They asked, where did we come from. Uncle Qi replied that we came from Changji City. Changji City is a small city. Because of the production of jade, the people are relatively rich, but other materials are relatively scarce. These people Many of the caravans came from Changji City."
Yun Chang nodded, but her brows never relaxed.
Sui An glanced at Yunshang and lowered his voice: "The Yelang people are like this, if we ignore it completely, they will become more suspicious. Don't worry, the master, the few hidden stakes outside are against Yelang people everywhere. They are all very familiar with each other, and indeed they all have a set of false identities in Yelang Country, so no flaws will be revealed."
Yun Chang couldn't help being a little funny, and turned to look at him: "You are so young, but you have comforted me."
Sui An chuckled: "Although I am small, I have a stable temperament."
Yun Chang chuckled, raised her hand and touched Sui An's head, and stopped talking.
But he couldn't help but think of Chengye. Chengye's temperament is much more mature than ordinary people, because of his experience and his identity.
In fact, she hopes that he can have a happy childhood, without worrying too much, without being so tired.
It's just that this thing seems really difficult.
Thinking of Chengye, Luo Qingyan came to mind.
It has been a while since she left the palace, everything in the palace is fine, what about the situation in Jincheng, Xia Houjing should have already noticed that she has been poisoned.
What Yun Chang didn't know was that in the palace on the other side, the secret guard was reporting the news softly to Luo.
"After your majesty left Jincheng, according to your majesty's instructions, your subordinates pretended to be Xia Houjing several times, appeared in the city, pretended to be crazy, and did some things. Even once, they pretended that Xia Houjing lost his mind and took people to the palace. The door shouted to be the emperor."
"Nowadays, almost everyone in Jincheng knows that Xia Houjing is not dead, but has gone mad."
"The real Xia Houjing has also shown his whereabouts in the city several times. With the din of rumors and rumors, he is probably a little anxious. During this period of time, he has met many officials in the court and the powerful people of famous families in the city. It's just that The subordinates looked at it, and it seemed that the progress was not very smooth."
