Hearing the sudden sound from behind, Lu An immediately turned around to look.
When he saw the person riding the horse, Lu An immediately frowned. The person riding the horse was none other than the person standing next to Guan Tianli in the tavern. This person had seen him before, no wonder he could recognize him at a glance!
When the soldier heard the words of the person riding the horse, he was stunned and quickly looked out of the city. At this moment, he just happened to see Lu An yell and suddenly raise his whip!
"Jia!" Lu An whipped Yao's horse. The horse let out a long neigh and galloped away in an instant.
Following that, Lu An also quickly rode his horse. Immediately, the two horses rushed out of the city, their speed far surpassing that of the others.
When the soldiers saw this, they were shocked and quickly shouted to the people beside them, "Quickly get on your horses and chase after those two!"
The soldiers all got on their horses and chased after the youth. However, they knew in their hearts that they couldn't catch up. The two people's horses were too good, and their horses were only ordinary horses. How could they catch up?
These people only chased for a short while before they all stopped and gave up. They could only look at the two horses that had already run far away with a frustrated expression.
After running for a long time, Lu An And Yao gradually slowed down. Lu An turned around and saw that there were no longer any soldiers chasing after him. He couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
These people's speed was really fast.
However, if Zhang Rui immediately left the city as he said, she should be able to escape. A small official from the Ministry of Justice couldn't reach as far as Hu Tiecheng. Right now, Lu An could only pray that Zhang Rui would listen to him.
No matter what, he couldn't return to the capital, let alone look for Zhang Rui. It would take at least three hours to go back and forth between the north and south of the city. If Zhang Rui was caught, then even if he went, it would be too late.
However, he didn't expect that something like this would happen during a simple meal. He couldn't stay in the capital anymore. He was afraid that he would have to travel through the night.
To the north of the capital was a boundless plain. Perhaps it was because of the capital, but the two of them walked for a long time without seeing anything. Both sides of the road were grasslands and nothing else. After advancing for about two hours, they began to see crops.
The two of them walked on a small path among the crops. They had long since abandoned the official road, even though this path was not as good as the official road. The two of them rode their horses and looked at the freshly refurbished soil. Lu An couldn't help but feel nostalgic.
When they were still in the slave den, they had also planted vegetables. Of course, it was only a small area, and they had planted it secretly. In the slave cavern, large-scale planting was not allowed. The purpose was to ensure the continuation of the slaves and prevent them from having any possibility of development.
After running for so long, the sky gradually darkened. Until now, Lu An still hadn't found a village. He could only find an empty space with Yao to set up a tent and stay for the night.
The two of them were already used to such a lifestyle, and Yao did not have any complaints. When it was almost midnight, the two of them set up their tents and went inside.
The tent was very big. Other than a place to sleep, there was also a place to move around. Lu An lit the candle with a match, and soon the tent was brightly lit.
Following that, Lu An helped Yao make the bed. After experiencing so many escapes, he had everything in his ring. When Yao Yao laid on the soft bed, her mood finally relaxed.
Because it was already very late, Yao looked at Lu An who did not lie down and asked, "Aren't you going to sleep?"
"Not yet." Lu An lightly smiled and said, "Running for your life for the whole day, you must be tired. Sleep first."
"En." Yao nodded. She gently turned over, closed her beautiful eyes, and quietly fell asleep.
Lu An looked at Yao's appearance, and in his heart, he actually felt a little sorry for her. She left her home alone and was abandoned. Now, the road back home was full of wind and dew. This kind of life, for a woman, was still a little too hard.
After using the heat of the Scorching Nine Suns to heat up the tent, Lu An walked out of the tent. The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Tonight, there were many dark clouds in the sky.
Next to the tent was a small stream. Lu An walked to the stream, cupped some water, and washed his face. He looked at his reflection in the water, and quietly did nothing.
Suddenly, he saw the necklace rope around his neck. This rope had long been changed to a special material, and the purpose was to not lose it. He reached out his hand and took out the necklace from his clothes. Looking at the ring again, Lu An's gaze slightly condensed.
Whether it was the person in the black fog or that Level Eight Heavenly Master, they both confirmed that he was not the biological son of his parents. This ring was left to him by his biological mother, and was the only thing that allowed him to understand his mother.
This ring was very bright, and it was also engraved with strange patterns. When Lu An was young, he was very willing to fiddle with this ring. However, every time he stared at it for more than three breaths, he would feel dizzy. Not only him, but others were also the same.
Until now, he still could not figure out his background. The person in the black fog was not willing to tell him, and that Level Eight Heavenly Master also did not say anything. However, Lu An confirmed that the Deep Ice on his body was indeed given to him by his father. And his father's family seemed to be surnamed Jiang.
Moreover, from that Level Eight Heavenly Master's expression, even if he was not a member of the Jiang family, he seemed to be very familiar with what happened back then. It was obvious that something big happened back then.
Then, what happened when he was born?
Lu An frowned tightly. Finally, after taking a deep breath, he put the ring back into his bosom. He got up and prepared to return to the tent to cultivate for two hours before going to sleep.
He sat cross-legged on the ground of the tent, closed his eyes, and entered a meditative state. He felt that there was still a certain distance between him and the peak of Level One. He was afraid that it would take at least a month. If he did not hurry up, his promotion to Level Two would be even slower.
The person in the black fog said that when his strength really became strong, the mystery of his background would naturally be solved. If he was told in advance, it would instead bring about a fatal disaster. As a result, Lu An was even more eager for strength.
Closing his eyes, Lu An once again entered a meditative state to cultivate.

Nearly a month later.
After nearly a month of non-stop advancement, Lu An And Yao successfully arrived at the northern border of Tiancheng Country. Most countries were divided by rivers or mountains, and Tiancheng Country was no exception. In this border, there was a mountain range that stretched for an unknown distance, separating Tiancheng Country and Yilan Country.
Yilan Country was located in the north of Tiancheng Country, bordering most of the northern border of Tiancheng Country. The land of the two countries was divided by this piece of land called Mount Ri Liang. As for Mount Ri Liang, it was an ownerless land.
There were many strange beasts in Mount Ri Liang, so it was more or less a natural stronghold. In addition, the northeast of Tiancheng Country was guarded by Tiancheng Mountain. Although it bordered Yilan Country, there were very few wars, so there were not many troops stationed in the north.
Two hundred miles south of Mount Ri Liang was the northernmost city of Tiancheng Country, called Beisheng City. There were many merchants of Yilan Country in this city, as well as many foreign cultures. At this moment, Lu An And Yao was walking on the street here.
At this time, it was already spring and flowers were blooming, so there was no longer any cold air. The clothes on people's bodies had also become relaxed, and all kinds of beautiful silk and satin were displayed on the street, as if they had regained their vitality.
Lu An And Yao also bought some delicious food from the stall and led the horse on the road while eating.
"The taste of the food here is very unique." Lu An ate the food in his hand and couldn't help but say, "It seems that everything is spicy."
"Yes!" Yao nodded and said with a smile, "You will be even more surprised when you eat later, because even the rice has a little spicy taste!"
"Is that so?" Lu An was startled. He really didn't expect that the rice could be spicy. Then, he thought of something and asked doubtfully, "Have you been here before?"
"En." Yao nodded and said, "This is the only place where I stayed before going to Nanhai City."
Listening to Yao's words, Lu An's expression was even more puzzled.
"With him." Yao said softly, "At that time, when I ran out of my home, this was the first city I came to."
Lu An was startled when he heard this, and then said with some embarrassment, "I reminded you of unhappy things again."
"It's nothing. After so long and experiencing so many things, I have already figured it out." Yao revealed a beautiful smile and said, "Even if he comes back, I won't bother with him anymore."
Seeing this, Lu An smiled. No matter what, it was fine as long as Yao was happy. However, he suddenly realized something and couldn't help but ask doubtfully, "Didn't you say that your home is very far away from here? Why is this Beisheng City the first city you have visited? "
Hearing this, Yao's face suddenly revealed a happy smile.
"Let me tell you a secret. When we reach Mount Ri Liang, we can go home!"
