The man hurried back, “Sir, do you think this is feasible?”
With those words, he quietly told Lone Chu what he thought.
After Lone Chu heard that, he immediately revealed a smile: “In that case, let’s do as you say.”
Early the next morning, the early sun was just rising.
The tent in the car of the two couples was opened, and immediately afterwards, someone brought in food.
At the same time, Han Qianqian and Su Yingxia could clearly feel that the cloth trapping their hands in the bedding had been released.
“Our gongzi has said that he actually doesn’t want to earn these few dollars of yours. The profits earned by a single merchant of the Lone Family are all far more than several times what they make out of you.”
“Since you don’t want to, he doesn’t want to force it either.”
“However, rules are always rules, and as we are people of commerce, we naturally have to abide by the rules of our side and cannot break them.”
“So, rules are always rules, and we will escort you to Night Sky City all the same.”
“However, the Duke doesn’t want to hurt you all, so he specially ordered us to bring food. You guys eat.”
As the words fell, that subordinate even greeted his subordinates and added some decorative items to the carriage inside.
“As long as you guys behave yourselves and don’t think about running away or anything, the duke also has orders to treat you guys like courtesy guests.”
Han Qianqian smiled gently, “Then thank your duke for me.”
Without saying anything more, the subordinate settled down and left with the men, and it wasn’t long before the caravan resumed its journey once more.
Su Yingxia asked in confusion as she ate, “How did their attitude change so drastically? It’s obvious that yesterday they all acted as if we would die if we didn’t take the money, but today they are so polite?”
Han Qianqian shook his head, “Lone Chu is a smart man, he should have figured it out, not wanting to break the rules but also not wanting to offend us.”
“Quite good, this second half of the ride is destined to be a comfortable one. However, you don’t have to be too happy, there should be enough suffering for us both tonight.”
Su Yingxia frowned, obviously not understanding the meaning of Han Qianqian’s words.
“Why would the night be hard?”
Han Qianqian did not answer.
Since someone had made this rule, then someone was bound to be the absolute king in this rule.
Even if Lone Chu did not dare to deliberately make things difficult for himself because he was afraid of himself, he would always break the rule.
Even if he was afraid of himself and did not dare to deliberately make things difficult for himself because of the rules, but he would always break the rules, then the one who made the rules would definitely not be willing to give up.
Can the evening be any better?
Obviously not.
“Rest up wife, wait for the night, there’s plenty of drama to go around.”
Muttering softly, Han Qianqian chose to lie down directly, closing his eyes and waiting quietly.
Although Su Yingxia didn’t know exactly what Han Qianqian was planning to do, hearing Han Qianqian say this and having eaten something, Su Yingxia also chose to lie down and rest.
Just like that, it was another bumpy journey.
It was not until the afternoon that the caravan suddenly picked up the speed of its journey.
“Everyone move at full speed immediately, we must reach the City of Night and Sky before it gets dark.”
Lone Chu, who was leading at the front, shouted loudly, and the carriage he was riding in took the lead and moved.
“Yes!”
Behind them, a crowd of people rushed to follow suit.
It was about another hour, and this time, Han Qianqian and Su Yingxia were obviously a little dizzy from the bumpy ride, but this also meant that the ride was about to come to an end.
After dark, when the cold air hit, the speed of the caravan began to drop significantly.
And directly in front of the caravan, a huge but still rudimentary wall stood up.
Something like a desert kind of city really, even the walls were clearly built from a mixture of tree trunks and various kinds of mud, the city was seven or eight metres high and the central gate was made of a simple but extremely thick piece of giant wooden plank.
“The Lone Caravan!”
In the cold wind, Lone Chu shouted towards the city walls.
On the city wall, a few torches swayed in the cold wind, and as Lone Chu’s voice shouted, a head poked out from above.
He took one look and then quickly retreated.
Afterwards, the gates rattled and slowly opened.
The temperature outside had begun to get colder and colder, so Lone Chu dared not be the least bit slow, and with a wave of his hand, he led the caravan slowly into the city.
Unlike outside, the temperature inside the city was comfortable, and although it was just as completely open-air, the modest walls were like a mountain range, separating two completely different worlds.
“We’re here.” Han Qianqian opened his eyes ……
