Chapter 301 Arrival at the Border Town

Chapter 301 Arrival at the Border Town

Outside the border town of Dayong.

At this time, Su Tang and his group's carriage had already arrived a few kilometers outside the border town.

"Master, we should enter the border town ahead."

It must be because of the war here, so some of the surrounding villages are now emptied.

"Let's go straight into the city." Su Tang said as she lifted the car curtain and looked at the border town wall in the distance.

In fact, it seemed like she hadn't been away from here for long, and she came back again.

The carriage entered the border town smoothly. The soldiers on the city knew that the Princess of Qi had arrived, and they happily opened the city gate for Su Tang and the others.

Of course, someone also went to inform Qi Lingheng.

Not long after the carriage entered the border town, the sound of horse hooves could be heard coming from far away in the city.

"Why are you here?" Qi Lingheng was sitting on a tall horse. He leaned over to take a look at Su Tang's carriage, then got off the horse and walked towards the carriage.

The carriage curtain was lifted, and Su Tang looked at Qi Lingheng with a gentle smile, "I miss you."

"Cough!" Qi Lingheng coughed lightly, and his ears turned red instantly.

The soldiers who were watching the excitement heard the conversation between the two and started to make a noise, "Oh... our princess is here, the prince doesn't have to worry about food and drink anymore!"

"Hahaha... Yeah, we don't have to send messages to Kyoto all the time. My horse's legs have become skinny from running..."

"Tsk, is it just your horse that has lost weight? My horse has also run twice..."

The soldiers who followed Qi Lingheng were not fussy people to begin with, and Qi Lingheng was usually very approachable to them when there was no war, so these soldiers would occasionally play a joke on Qi Lingheng.

Listening to the lively laughter of the soldiers around her, Su Tang did not get angry. She just lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage.

She stood at the front of the carriage and said to the soldiers below: "Everyone has worked hard. We brought some meat here and we will add a dish to everyone tonight."

Before entering the city, Su Tang released several horse-drawn carts from the space and filled them with fresh meat.

Of course, the meat on the carriages is definitely not enough for all the soldiers stationed in the border town, but Su Tang created these carriages just as a decoy.

The farm in her space has already raised a lot of livestock and poultry, enough for the warriors here to have a few good meals of meat.

"Okay... I can only eat a small piece of meat every day these days, and my mouth is dry. Today, thanks to the princess, I can finally have more oil and water in my stomach..."

"Thank you, Princess."

For a moment, voices of gratitude were heard everywhere.

Qi Lingheng smiled and said to everyone, "Okay, if you want to eat meat, then disperse quickly and do whatever you need to do. Don't block the convoy's way. If you don't get any meat tonight, don't make a fuss."

"No, no, we'll disperse now." Everyone laughed and immediately dispersed, making way for the main road in the city.

Qi Lingheng also handed his warhorse to the guard behind him, jumped onto the carriage, took the whip from the coachman, and drove the carriage himself with Su Tang and the others into the city.

The convoy behind followed and went to the place where grain and fodder were stored in the city to unload the goods.

Qi Lingheng drove Su Tang's carriage directly back to the City Lord's Mansion.

At this time, the city lord's mansion in the border town had been given to Qi Lingheng for temporary residence.

"Why didn't you send a message before you came?" Qi Lingheng's smile did not fade. "I can pick you up too. I hope you are safe along the way."

Although Qi Lingheng knew Su Tang's abilities, he was still a little worried because Su Tang came from such a long distance.

"It's okay. I will go back to the space to rest from time to time along the way." Su Tang followed Qi Lingheng into the City Lord's Mansion.

"Last time we came here, we were all anonymous, so we didn't have a chance to enter the City Lord's Mansion. It seems that the City Lord is not a person who only seeks pleasure."

The City Lord's Mansion was only tall and majestic in its outer gate tower, but once you entered the gate, you would find that there was no unnecessary decoration at all inside the Mansion. In the empty front yard, there were only some wooden racks for placing weapons on both sides.

Walking further into the mansion, the layout inside was even simpler, without even a single flower or tree.

"The mayor is an honest official. The tax revenue near the border town is not as high as that of other wealthy places. But even so, he used the tax revenue to pay the soldiers stationed there and to invest in the construction of the border town."

"Oh, now that you mention it, I would like to meet this person."

Su Tang was taken into a simple house. Qi Lingheng picked up the teapot on the table and poured a glass of water for Su Tang. "There is no tea in the City Lord's Mansion on weekdays, so you can only drink a glass of boiled water."

"Yeah, it's okay. By the way, how is the war in southern Xinjiang going? You haven't told me since I got here." Su Tang took the cup of water and took a sip.

"They attacked several times. At the beginning, they used poisonous insects to attack the city, hoping to poison everyone in the city. But they didn't expect that we brought a lot of kerosene and the flame guns you gave us. Once those insects approached the city wall, we burned them to death."

"Perhaps it is not easy for them to cultivate these poisonous insects, so they rested after attacking a few times."

"We can't take it lightly. By the way, why did they attack Dayong this time?"

There must be a reason to attack a city. Generally, apart from fighting for property, people would only go to war when they have made enemies. After all, when two countries go to war, there will be many casualties. Normally, the royal family tends to seek pleasure and will not cause trouble for themselves.

"It's because Dayong had previously let down the Southern Xinjiang envoy, and a witch from Southern Xinjiang disappeared in Dayong, which led to the witch doctor clan in Southern Xinjiang instigating the Southern Xinjiang royal family to go to war with Dayong."

"They want that witch?"

"No, those were just the information gathered by the spies in southern Xinjiang." Qi Lingheng sat opposite Su Tang and poured himself a glass of water, which he drank in one gulp.

"You are sweating all over. What were you busy with just now?" Su Tang asked Qi Lingheng.

"I went to patrol the South Gate, and just when I came back someone reported that you entered the North Gate."

"I have brought the Southern Xinjiang witch with me. I plan to go to the Southern Xinjiang forbidden area with her in a few days."

Qi Lingheng frowned when he heard Su Tang's words. "Now the soldiers of Southern Xinjiang and some witch doctors are gathered at the border. It may not be easy for you to enter Southern Xinjiang."

Nowadays, there is complete cessation of exchanges between Southern Xinjiang and Dayong, and there are no ordinary people living on the border between the two countries.

When Su Tang entered the city just now, she found that there was not a single citizen in the originally bustling town.

"It doesn't matter. With that witch here, the Southern Frontier people won't refuse to let us pass."

"But you..." Qi Lingheng was a little worried. After all, Su Tang was not an ordinary person. If she was caught by the people of Southern Xinjiang, they would definitely use Su Tang to negotiate with Dayong. But at this time, Qi Lingheng could not leave the border and accompany Su Tang to Southern Xinjiang.

"It's okay." Tian Ningxue's status in southern Xinjiang is not ordinary, and Su Tang still has some confidence in Tian Ningxue.

Besides, this time she must follow Tian Ningxue to the forbidden area of southern Xinjiang. She wants to get the sign from the high priest.
