Usually, when the Wang Family traveled, they would walk during the day and rest when they needed to. They would also stop at night. All Yu had also retained this habit during her years of traveling and learning.
But now, for the sake of Qin Huai, they traveled day and night. Not to mention Ah Yu, even Old Madam Wang did not make a sound. Other than going out when necessary, they ate and drank in the carriage.
While Qin Huai was unconscious, Ah Yu also fed him Myriad Spirit Water every day. Originally, Ah Yu wanted to wipe him down, but she was strictly forbidden by Old Madam Wang.
Looking at Ah Yu’s gradually growing face, she looked like a different person from the past few years. If not for the fact that the birthmark behind her ear was still the same, even Old Madam Wang would not have recognized her.
“Leave the cleaning to your Second Uncle. Accompany me down for a walk.” Old Madam Wang did not say that men and women should exercise restraint in terms of physical contact with each other. Their family was not interested in talking about this kind of thing, but just because they did not talk about it did not mean that they were not particular.
Chi Jia swallowed the rest of his words.
Actually, he could also help wipe him down.
Just like that, during the day, Ah Yu guarded Qin Huai and observed his condition. In the evening, Old Madam Wang would bring Ah Yu to another carriage.
In the 23rd year of Minghua, on the sixth of March, Ah Yu and the others arrived at Wanning City.
A bustling capital appeared in front of them. There were many vendors outside the city. They had set up mobile stalls about a mile away from the city, and there were also people similar to bailiffs patrolling inside.
When they walked closer, they were at the north gate of Wanning City. The city gate tower was about 150 feet tall and was divided into four gate towers and arrow towers. There was also a three-story main building that gave a good view of the people traveling outside the city from afar.
The three powerful black and gold words “Wan Ning City” were simple and bold. It was obvious that they were written by a calligraphy master.
Above and below, outside the city, not only were there guards patrolling, but there were also sentries guarding the place, investigating the packages and carriages of passers-by, registering visitors, and reporting the notice. With a rough count, one could see more than a hundred people.
This was even stricter than any city they had seen.
Ah Yu lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out. When she saw the dense crowd and did not hear anyone chatting, she could not help but purse her lips and retract her head.
“Grandma, no wonder Big Brother Ah You liked to come to our place in the past. This place is too serious.” Ah Yu shook her head and lowered her voice to say to Old Madam Wang, “1 don’t like this place very much.”
Old Madam Wang did not even look outside. She closed her eyes and leaned against the carriage. She nodded casually and replied to All Yu, “I don’t like it either.”
In their group, Qin Huai’s accompanying guards were all from Wanning City. Wang Chuangui had also been to Wanning City before. There was no need to mention Old man Wang and Old Madam Wang. Only Ah Yu was a little curious about this city.
Seeing how this side was set up as if it was facing a great enemy, the little bit of curiosity disappeared.
They rode the carriage and went along the path specially used for carriage investigation. Someone at the front held his saber horizontally in front of them. “Stop. Who is it?”
Chi Jia went forward and removed a token from his waist, handing it to the person to see.
That person only took a few glances before hurriedly lowering his head and saying to the person beside him, “Let them through.”
When their carriage was far away, the people below craned their necks to take a look. When they saw him, they asked the guard, “Boss, why were you so flustered just now? Who was that?”
“Who else could it be? It’s the people from Duke Yong Manor!” The guard lowered his voice even more. “That person is also the personal guard of their Young Lord.”
There were many Young Masters in the martial arts world. But the only one who could be called Young Lord was the temperamental one.
“Hiss—” The subordinate gasped.
Duke Yong Manor kept a low profile, but that Young Lord was different. It was said that a few years ago, a guard blocked the Young Lord’s path and wanted to check their carriage. Without a word, the Young Lord cut off the arm of the person blocking the carriage!
They did not know what happened after that. In any case, the Young Lord was still extremely noble.
This matter had spread among them a few times, and everyone knew that it was best not to provoke the people from Duke Yong Manor.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t know when their unlucky day was going to come.
“Teacher Chi, where’s Big Brother Ah You’s house? It’s not convenient for us to go to his house now. Do you have any other residences?” After passing 4.0 to 50 meters of the corridor, the carriage drove into Wanning City. All Yu also let go of her voice and asked Chi Jia outside.
Before Chi Jia could answer, a monk was already standing in front of the carriage, forcing it to stop.
The monk chanted a Buddhist proclamation before saying, “Young Lord, please follow me into Fuji Temple..”
