The doors of the Han Residence opened and about a hundred people escorted Han Ning out. Han Chengan and his wife kept reminding Han Ning. They were worried about their daughter who was about to leave for a long journey.
Over the past two months, Mo Wuji had been cooped up in his courtyard as he was afraid of being plotted against. He did not know exactly how many people were accompanying Han Ning to the capital. Now that he saw about a hundred people leaving, he asked Ding Bu'Er in shock, "Bu'Er, are there many people accompanying little miss to Chang Luo?"
Ding Bu'Er laughed and whispered into Mo Wuji's ear, "Other than little miss, there are actually four people accompanying her to Chang Luo. Thanks to you, I have the chance to tag along. The other two are Peng Maohua and Shao Lan. "
"So few?" Mo Wuji started to feel uneasy. If there were so few people, it would be hard to guarantee their safety.
"I heard that old master originally wanted to find 20 people to accompany little miss. However, the capital has decreed that every participant can only bring a maximum of four followers," Ding Bu'Er explained.
As the group walked out of Rao Zhou City, Mo Wuji finally understood why the capital had to limit the number of people. The outskirts of Rao Zhou City were already filled with people saying their goodbyes. It was obvious that Han Ning was not the only one participating in the Spring Immortal's Gate. Mo Wuji saw about 20 to 30 people.
There were definitely more people that he did not see. Including the followers, there were probably more than a hundred of them. And this was only a state. How many states were there in the Xing Han Empire? How many people were there in total? Previously, Han Chengan said that Cheng Yu State would have more than 10 people participating. He definitely did not include the states.
Some of these people started to form groups. After bidding farewell to their families, they boarded beast carriages and set off. When he saw Han Chengan arrive, he quickly started to discuss with a few people. A moment later, Peng Maohua came over and whispered to Mo Wuji and Ding Bu'Er, "Our Han Residence has teamed up with Wu Xue Prefecture's Young Lord Cao Hao, Feng City Marquis Ji's grandson, Ji Changhe, and the only son of Wan Pu Cheng Yu Branch's shopkeeper, Yang Junsong. Remember, none of these people are to be trifled with. Try not to get into any conflict with them. "
Ding Bu'Er patted his chest, "Chief Guard Peng, don't worry. I am not a troublemaker. Since we're in a team, we're all teammates, so we naturally have to work together. "
Peng Maohua nodded his head. He had only casually mentioned it. Ding Bu'Er knew his limits and would not act recklessly. Mo Wuji was even more inconsistent with the rumours. In his impression, other than being late for the first gathering, Mo Wuji had always played his part. He didn't even leave the courtyard, so how could he cause trouble?
At this moment, Han Ning also bade farewell to her family and called for Mo Wuji and the rest to board the car. What made Mo Wuji suspicious was that Han Chengan did not remind him again before he left.
"Let's go, we should also get on the car." Ding Bu'Er pulled Mo Wuji.
Just at this moment, Mo Wuji suddenly felt a chill on his body. He subconsciously turned his head to take a look, and a few figures quickly disappeared.
He didn't know if they were here to deal with him. Otherwise, how could they feel uncomfortable? As he thought of this, Mo Wuji did not dare to stay any longer. He hastened his footsteps and boarded the Han Clan's beast carriage.
The beast carriage was separated into two compartments. Han Ning and Shao Lan were in the inner compartment while the three of them were in the outer compartment. The two compartments weren't small, so it didn't seem crowded for five people.
With a shout from the coachman, the beast carriage started moving. Because they teamed up with the other three families, the four beast carriages set off at the same time.
Mo Wuji had some understanding of this beast carriage. The beast that pulled the carriage was similar to a horse, except that its endurance and defence were stronger.
Of course, no matter how strong it was, it couldn't be compared to a car. There were similar public transport vehicles on the streets of Cheng Yu State. Unfortunately, these public transport vehicles could only be used in Cheng Yu State or nearby places. Once they left Cheng Yu State, there would be no other way.
The main reason for this was because the people here did not pay much attention to the development of science and technology. Another reason was that there were many countries here.
Even among the princely kingdoms under the same lord, there were many factions. It would be difficult to build a smooth road that ran through several kingdoms.
On the other hand, the various countries put in a lot of effort in planting spiritual herbs and mining minerals. These were the main things here.
...
Other than the wide and flat road when they first left Rao Zhou, the rest of the road was mostly bumpy mountain roads. Fortunately, the beast carriage's shockproof design was not bad.
Along the way, they met many beast carriages heading towards the imperial capital. Mo Wuji discovered that other than a few acquaintances who would greet each other, most of the people were focused on their journey. Even the other four families did not interfere with each other most of the time, other than during breaks and meals, when the four main characters of the conference would chat with each other.
A month later, the caravan stopped at the boundless sea. When Mo Wuji and co. arrived, there was already a sea of people. Mo Wuji roughly estimated that there were at least tens of thousands of people. All kinds of beast carriages were parked, and there were even some flying beasts.
Just as Mo Wuji was about to ask if these flying beasts were the same as the beast carriages, he saw a huge flying beast fly over from afar and land on an empty space. The wind caused by its wings could even be felt by Mo Wuji, who was tens of meters away.
On the back of the flying beast, there was a huge round tent. After the flying beast landed, the tent opened and the few of them flew down from the flying beast.
This was indeed a beast carriage, but it was much more convenient than the beast carriages that they used to travel on land. Even an airplane would not be as convenient. No wonder the people here did not have much interest in machinery. If there were such flying beasts, who would bother with airplanes? Time was wasted on the process of taking off and landing.
"Damn, when will our Cheng Yu State have such flying beast carriages? Why would we need to travel for a few days to get here?" Mo Wuji heard a dissatisfied voice scolding from afar.
Mo Wuji did not need to turn his head to know who this fella was. It was Wu Xue Prefecture's little prefecture king, Cao Hao. This fella had a bad temper, and would curse at anything he was unhappy with. Once, he even got into a fight with a young royal prince from another country because he wanted to cut off the road.
"Bu'Er, is this thing very expensive? Why doesn't Cheng Yu State have it? "Mo Wuji whispered to Ding Bu'Er.
He believed that no matter how expensive the beast carriage was, as a state, Cheng Yu State should be able to afford it right?
Ding Bu'Er chuckled, "This is not a matter of price, it is a symbol of status. It is not easy to buy such a beast carriage, and it is not something that can be bought with money. I heard that there is a sect that specialises in cultivating flying beasts, what is it called... "
"Don't talk so much, go rest at the hotel and wait for the boat here," Han Ning interrupted Ding Bu'Er's words.
Cao Hao glanced at Mo Wuji and said with slight disdain, "Sister Ning, your cultivation talent is not bad, but your foresight is too bad. If I were to choose such trash to go to the imperial capital with me, I wouldn't be able to do so. Haha... "
Obviously, he heard Mo Wuji's words, and Mo Wuji did not bow to him along the way, which made him a little unhappy. With his status, Mo Wuji should be kneeling and licking his boots.
Han Ning's face sank, but she did not refute him. Seeing that Han Ning did not dare to refute him, Cao Hao became even more disdainful, "Junior Ning, my father asked us to form a team, so naturally he does not want my teammates to be too weak. To be honest, I am worried for myself. You have to know that the two month journey by sea is the most dangerous. "
He did not provoke this fella, but he was called rubbish by this fella. It would be weird if Mo Wuji was happy. What does a prefecture king's son count for? Back on Earth, he was a world-famous biologist and pharmacologist. How many rich and powerful people wanted him?
Mo Wuji chuckled, looked warmly at Cao Hao and said, "I feel that you don't have to worry about yourself. Even if you're a pile of shit, there will be a day when it meets a dung beetle. Eventually, something will visit you, don't worry."
(That's all for today's update. Good night friends!)
