On a certain morning, Lide and the others set off eastward in a spacious carriage through the thick fog.
Because there are quite a lot of people participating in the northward journey, the flying dragons in charge of picking them up in Tiance Mansion are not enough. We can only plan a few meeting places, and let each territory choose the nearest meeting place to go to and wait for the pick-up. Moreover, only the core members of each territory can enjoy the treatment of flying dragon pick-up and drop-off. Soldiers usually set off three to five months in advance to head to Lingwu territory in advance.
Lide took a look and found that the closest meeting point to him was Pingguo City in Yinghua Territory. Yinghua Territory is the ninth largest territory located in the middle of Eternal Heaven Kingdom. If you want to go there, you need to pass through the territories of Yunyang, Tiancheng, and Zhaoxin. The total distance is not too short.
Li De was not worried that Yunyang would have the guts to stop his car. After all, he was the one named by Lord Lingwu to go north. He couldn't explain it to Tiance Mansion. So now Li De is like a plague god. Not only can the lord of Yunyang not be killed by himself, but he also has to beware of being killed by Yunyang's hostile forces, and he can't explain clearly.
After Li De really suffered two assassinations, the lord of Yunyang had no choice but to personally send Yunyang Guards to send Li De out of Yunyang.
The Tiancheng Territory is generally quite chaotic, and basically no one pays attention to him. Li De didn't stay in Tiancheng for too long, but just by passing by, he had already seen many devastated and miserable scenes. The scene was not as shocking as the 300,000 disaster victims in Tianyue Mountain, but it was almost the same. Everyone is used to discussing these things in the sun.
The Zhaoxin Territory is not bad. After all, it is the 19th-ranked territory, four places higher than Yunyang, and the lives of the people are still guaranteed.
The carriage drove day and night, and Lide soon arrived at Yinghua Territory. He originally thought that he would be able to take the flying dragon to Lingwu right away, but when he arrived, he was dumbfounded. There were so many people waiting in line for the flying dragon to pick him up. The hotels in the city are already overcrowded.
Li De stopped a soldier from Tiance Mansion and asked:
"Brother, is there something wrong here? I think the queue is almost until next year."
The soldiers of Tiance Mansion took off their helmets, wiped the sweat from their foreheads, and said to Li De with emotion:
"Yes. Didn't the lord of Lingwu make a new rule this year? He said that in order to take care of some young masters and ladies who want to come to Lingwu, they are allowed to bring their family members and guards. The trouble is here. Some people bring more than 20 rooms with them. Not to mention my concubine, there are still many people who are followed by hundreds of guards, and they must let the guards ride our flying dragons, saying that they cannot be separated from the guards, otherwise no one will rescue them in case of danger."
With a puzzled expression on his face, Lid said:
"The danger that even the Tiance Mansion can't solve, can their hundreds of guards solve?"
The soldier slapped his thigh, but forgot that he was wearing armor on his leg. This slap hurt him so much. He shook his hand and complained to Lied:
"That's right! We explained that to them too, but no one listened! Anyway, it's a mess here, and the queue won't finish for a while. If you go to Lingwu, I'll show you the way. Don't wait for the flying dragon, it will definitely be faster to take a carriage."
Lide glanced at the endless line, nodded with a wry smile, and approved the soldier's suggestion.
Although he can also show his friendship with Umi and let the soldiers of Tiance Mansion sell himself, but with so many eyes staring at him, he is not willing to embarrass an innocent soldier. Once there is the first person who successfully jumps in the queue, the situation here will only become more chaotic. At that time, he will pat his ass and walk away, and the soldiers who stayed to deal with the matter will suffer.
Anyway, the horse-drawn carriage in Yuxi City had been equipped with shock-absorbing facilities early on, so even when walking on rough roads, the people inside could still hug each other comfortably and sleep soundly. Sitting for a long time will not break your buttocks, and the space is very spacious, which is not much different from the feeling of riding a flying dragon.
After leaving Pingguo City, there were obviously fewer carriages going north, and most of the targets should not be Lingwu. The way to judge whether a horse-drawn carriage is heading for Lingwu is very simple. You only need to check whether the carriage has been specially treated against the cold. For example, Lide's car has a thickened body and is embedded with snow fox fur, which has very good cold resistance. If it's just an ordinary carriage with a thin plate, it's probably just a businessman active in Yinghua Territory, and they won't go further north.
Lide searched around, and found that there were almost no people who went to Lingwu together, and he couldn't find a travel companion. It can be seen that most people still don't want to travel long distances in a carriage. They would rather wait in line for the flying dragon in Pingguo City. Anyway, if they can't arrive on time in the end, they can blame Tiance Mansion.
It was not until a few days later that Lide saw a carriage with good cold resistance on the side of the road.
The carriage was parked by the side of the road, and Lid took a look and knew that it was basically scrapped. One wheel had been dented in a disfigured way, the whole car had tipped over to one side, and most importantly there was an obvious crack in the main shaft of the axle. It's not that there was any attack. After all, the carriage was still intact. It was estimated that the carriage was bumpy all the way, and the carriage, which was originally not very expensive, ushered in the day when it came to an end.
There were two people standing beside the carriage, one was dressed as an ordinary coachman, wearing a coarse short coat, with inconspicuous stubble, and looked about forty; the other was wrapped in a white cloak, only showing a pair of eyes Not sure what it looks like. The coachman looked a little anxious, and he would unconsciously stamp his feet when he spoke, and a trace of uncontrollable anxiety could be heard in his voice:
"What should I do? I'm late, I'm afraid there may be some trouble over there... It's all my fault. It would be fine if I checked it carefully before going out."
While looking around, the coachman continued:
"Besides, if you buy a carriage here, you may be watched again... When we first entered Yinghua, people were already watching us. It is definitely not a good thing to stay here..."
In all fairness, the coachman's voice is already very low, most people can't hear what he is saying at a distance, even people with a certain level of cultivation can only hear some vague words. Only Lid heard their conversation relatively completely, so he glanced over there twice.
The coachman didn't react when his gaze passed over the coachman, but when Lide's gaze passed the back of the man in white, the man turned sideways keenly, looking at Lide with a pair of deep eyes.
The two sides looked at each other for a second, and neither of them spoke. The coachman next to the man's eyes lit up, and while waving, he ran towards Lide's carriage.
