Zhu Xiaolian was in a hurry to go to Huayang Mansion to prepare for the exam, so the three of them didn't stay for long. After breakfast, they cleaned up a little and left Anping Town together, walking towards the official road.
If he was alone, it would only take him a short while to ride a cloud, not to mention the Iron Man Armor.
The reason why he promised Zhu Xiaolian was that he wasn't in a hurry, and he didn't know where Ning Caichen was at this time, so it was useless to be anxious. Secondly, he felt that Zhu Xiaolian was a kindred spirit.
When he was in this era, he had already seen how chaotic this era was. It could be said that this was an era where demons and monsters ran amok. If a scholar like Zhu Xiaolian went on a long journey, it would actually be very dangerous. Not to mention that he might encounter jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards along the way, there would also be mountain bandits and horse bandits blocking the road to rob them. He might even encounter mountain spirits and monsters. For a weak scholar like him, any one of them could easily take his life.
In ancient times, except for those who were rich and powerful, not everyone could afford a carriage. Because at that time, horses were strategic materials. Even if there were horses for sale in the horse market, ordinary people couldn't afford them. More people would choose donkeys as a means of transportation if they chose to go on a long journey. As for those who were short of money, they could only rely on their own legs.
Zhu Xiaolian was one of those people who were short of money. Although he had the title of Xiucai, and as a scholar, he could get some food from the government every month. But in this world, people had no way to make a living. The food he received was only enough for him to keep warm. His family didn't have any property. It was already good enough for him to support his studies. How could he afford a horse and a donkey?
Ye Xuan did have money. But according to his understanding of Zhu Xiaolian, if it was just for eating and drinking, Zhu Xiaolian wouldn't care. But if it was to buy a horse, Zhu Xiaolian probably wouldn't accept it.
He calculated in his heart. According to Zhu Xiaolian, it was only a three-day journey from Anping Town to Huayang Mansion. According to the ancient people's walking speed, one day was about sixty to seventy miles, three days was about two hundred miles. It was only 100 kilometers in total, which was a small matter for Ye Xuan.
Therefore, in the end, Ye Xuan didn't go to buy a horse. Instead, he and Zhu Xiaolian walked towards Huayang Mansion step by step.
"Hu, hu!" The three of them set off early. After walking for about two hours, Zhu Xiaolian and his attendant, Hou Xia, were sweating profusely and gasping for breath.
"Brother Ye, let's go to the forest over there and rest for a while. What do you think? " Zhu Xiaolian wiped the sweat off his forehead with his sleeve and looked at the rising sun. He pointed at a small forest in front of him and turned to look at Ye Xuan.
"Sure. You can make the decision, Brother Zhu! "Ye Xuan nodded with a smile.
Seeing that Ye Xuan had agreed, Zhu Xiaolian did not stand on ceremony and quickly walked towards the small forest.
Zhu Xiaolian heaved a sigh of relief as he walked under the shade of the trees. He didn't care about etiquette anymore. He found a piece of flat ground and sat on it.
"Young Master. Quick, drink some water! " Hou Xia, who was the attendant, did not feel so comfortable. After seeing Zhu Xiaolian's appearance, he quickly took out a bottle of water from his bag and handed it to Zhu Xiaolian.
"Brother Ye, we've been walking for so long. Come, drink some water first!" After taking the water from his attendant, Zhu Xiaolian looked at Ye Xuan who was standing beside him and actually handed the water to him first.
"You're welcome, Brother Zhu. I'm not thirsty. Drink it!" Seeing Zhu Xiaolian's action, although it was just a small gesture, it made Ye Xuan feel that his efforts were not wasted. He smiled and shook his head.
"Brother Ye, you're welcome. How can I not be thirsty after walking for so long? Come, there's a lot of water. Drink some to moisten your throat!" Zhu Xiaolian saw that Ye Xuan did not take the water and thought that Ye Xuan was just being polite. He stood up and handed the water to Ye Xuan.
"Alright, since Brother Zhu is so kind, I won't stand on ceremony." Seeing Zhu Xiaolian like this, Ye Xuan did not want to brush him off. He took the water with a smile and drank a mouthful, then handed the water back to Zhu Xiaolian.
After seeing Ye Xuan drink the water, Zhu Xiaolian smiled with satisfaction. He then took the water and drank two mouthfuls. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief. He handed the water bottle to Hou Xia and wiped the water from the corner of his mouth. "Phew, the sun is scorching and there's no wind. It's too hot. Eh, Brother Ye, why aren't you sweating? Aren't you hot? "
Zhu Xiaolian suddenly looked at Ye Xuan, who was clean and had no sweat on his face. He looked him up and down suspiciously.
As he spoke, Hou Xia, who was calling for water at the side, also looked over with a face full of curiosity.
"Haha, Brother Zhu might not know this, but I have practiced martial arts since I was young. I only know a few moves. Perhaps that's why I can withstand the scorching sun. However, if I walk a little longer, I might end up like Brother Zhu. "Ye Xuan explained with a smile.
In fact, with Ye Xuan's current realm, he had already reached the realm of being impervious to heat and cold. Not to mention the sun that was only around 20 degrees Celsius, even if he stood at the mouth of a volcano, he would feel like he was bathing in the spring breeze.
"So Brother Ye actually has martial arts skills. I admire you! I admire you! " After hearing Ye Xuan's explanation, Zhu Xiaolian's doubts were cleared. He cupped his hands in admiration and said in a surprised manner.
Ye Xuan shook his head and said with a smile, "You flatter me, Brother Zhu. This world is not fair, and I often travel outside. Practicing a few punches and kicks is just to protect myself, so that I won't be taken advantage of by thieves when I'm outside."
The two of them sat under the tree and rested for a while. When Zhu Xiaolian felt that it was about time, he stood up and said, "Brother Ye, how was your rest?"
"Hehe, it's about time. Are we leaving?" Ye Xuan also stood up from the ground. In fact, after walking for such a short distance, Ye Xuan was not tired at all. The reason why he sat down was just to take care of Zhu Xiaolian's feelings.
"En, yes, we have to hurry up. Otherwise, we may have to sleep in the wild at night. There should be more than 40 miles to Kunling Town." Zhu Xiaolian said.
"Okay." Ye Xuan nodded and then followed Zhu Xiaolian and his servant on the road again.
After walking for nearly five or six miles, the three of them came to a col. They saw that there was a big tree that was as thick as an adult's waist growing on the side of the col.
"En?" Looking at the big tree growing on the side of the road, Ye Xuan suddenly raised his eyebrows. His eyes seemed to be able to see through the big tree and behind it.
"Hey! This mountain is opened by me. This tree is planted by me. If you want to pass through, you have to pay for the road! " Just as the three of them approached the big tree, a big man suddenly jumped out from behind the tree. He was holding a long machete and looked at the three of them fiercely.
