“Ah Chen, you were looking for me?”

Shangguan Han lacked people he could trust, so Fan Mingyuan did not return to Anyang County.

Song Jingchen nodded and gestured for him to sit down before saying, “The Wu Kingdom shouldn’t make any big moves in the short term, but we can’t let our guard down.”

Fan Mingyuan frowned and said, “Ah Han sent someone to the Wu Kingdom. I wonder if he…”

“Don’t get your hopes up,” Song Jingchen said.

With the ambitious Yan Guangmao and the Valley of Heavenly Secrets around, he was no longer alone from the moment Shangguan Yu returned to the Wu Kingdom.

“What are you suggesting?”

“To prevent anything from happening, we should send troops to the border in advance to guard against any accidents.”

“Do you have a suitable candidate?” Fan Mingyuan asked.

Song Jingchen held his forehead. “I can’t make all the decisions for Ah Han.” Fan Mingyuan rubbed his nose. “Got it. I’ll pass on the message for you.”

Fan Mingyuan rubbed his nose. “Got it. I’ll pass on the message for you.”

The Xuanyuan Kingdom was on the east side of Great Xia. There was a mountain in the middle. After passing through the mountain and entering the territory of the Xuanyuan Kingdom, the first town was Phoenix Town, which Ji

Yunxi had mentioned.

It was worth mentioning that when Xuanyuan Ziming invited Shen Yijia to the Xuanyuan Kingdom to play, he specially left her his token. When Xuanyuan Ce left, he gave her another one.

Coupled with the travel passes given by Shangguan Han, they did not have to worry about not being able to enter the Xuanyuan Kingdom.

There were a total of six of them on this trip. Apart from Shen Yijia and Song

Jingchen, there was also MO Yuan, You Yi, South Wind, and Thirty Thousand.

Song Jingchen originally wanted to bring the reliable One Dot, but he didn’t expect One Dot to suddenly feel unwell before setting off. In the end, he could only change it to Thirty Thousand.

As for why it was such a coincidence?

When MO Yuan rummaged through her bag, she realized that a bag of medicine was missing from her medicine bag.

“MO Yuan, what are you thinking about?” Shen Yijia asked suspiciously.

MO Yuan glanced at Thirty Thousand, who was riding a horse and smiling widely. She took out a bag of jerky from another bag and handed it over. She shook her head. “Nothing.”

Shen Yijia took a bite of the jerky and said weakly, “How long until we arrive? I’m about to suffocate to death.”

They had been walking for two months. They could have gone out riding horses from time to time to take a breather, but since she had her period these past few days, Song Jingchen didn’t let her go out.

“Miss, please bear with it. It’s only half a day’s journey away.” MO Yuan poured her a cup of tea.

Shen Yijia looked like she was about to cry. She lifted the curtain and stuck her head out.

MO Yuan opened her mouth, wanting to say that Young Master had said that he didn’t want her to catch a cold. However, she remembered that Shen Yijia had indeed been stuck inside for the past few days, so she could only swallow her words.

The sound of hooves came from ahead. Shen Yijia quickly lowered the curtain.

When the carriage stopped, she stuck her head out again and said with a smile,

“Hubby, you’re back.”

Song Jingchen raised his eyebrows but didn’t expose her.

He handed the pheasant in his hand to Thirty Thousand. “Take it and deal with it.”

Then, he walked to the carriage and carried Shen Yijia down. “Rest for a while and eat something before leaving.”

Shen Yijia quickly nodded obediently.

Although they had been traveling for the past two months, Song Jingchen had never wronged Shen Yijia in terms of food. Especially after leaving the border of Great Xia, he would always find ways to catch prey and cook delicious food for her.

After a beautiful meal, she nestled in Song Jingchen’s arms and slept. When Shen Yijia opened her eyes again, the carriage had already stopped at the entry checkpoint.

In order to enter the Xuanyuan Kingdom, they had to settle the relevant procedures here and get a pass to the Xuanyuan Kingdom.

There were business transactions between the three countries. For caravans to leave the country, they had to get the local authorities to provide written proof, including the reason for the goods they were carrying.

Because some goods were not allowed to circulate, they had to be strictly checked whether they were leaving or entering the country.

Due to the inconvenient transportation, most of the people coming and going between the two countries were businessmen.

Perhaps it was because it was only mid-February, but the convoys that had come out to do business after New Year’s Eve had yet to arrive, so there were only a few convoys in front of the checkpoint.

Even so, they had to wait in line for a few hours before it was their turn.

Shen Yijia took out a token from her small satchel and handed it over.

The official took it and was stunned when he saw the words on the token.

If he was not mistaken, this was a golden token that only members of the royal family could hold.

The official sized up the group of people in front of him suspiciously. They did not look like rich people. Could this token be fake?

Shen Yijia frowned. She thought that it was because Xuanyuan Ziming’s token was not working well. She reached into her bag and took out the one Xuanyuan Ce had given her.

When Xuanyuan Ziming saw Xuanyuan Ce, he had to bow and call him Imperial Uncle. Shen Yijia felt that Xuanyuan Ce’s token was definitely more useful than his.

The official received it with both hands and almost knelt down in fear when he saw the Qilin pattern on it.

When he looked at Shen Yijia and the others again, his eyes were filled with admiration.

Shen Yijia puffed out her chest proudly. She had connections.

Just as he thought this, he heard the official wave at the person behind him.

“Arrest them.”

How brave. She even dared to lie about connections with Lord Jing’an.

A few officials immediately surrounded them.

Shen Yijia was stunned.

“Beautiful uncle, you didn’t say that we would be captured if you used your token!” she thought.

Song Jingchen shielded Shen Yijia behind him and said indifferently, “Our token is real.”

The official sneered. “Really? If that’s the case, we have to arrest you. Who knows if you stole this token?”

Shen Yijia understood. Did he want to capture them regardless of whether it was true or not?

They had just arrived and should not have caused trouble. However, there was clearly something wrong with this official’s actions. If they were really arrested just like that, who knew what was waiting for them?

Shen Yijia pinched her fingers and looked at Song Jingchen. The two of them were about to make a move.

There was a sudden rush of hooves behind them, and a group of more than a dozen people stopped their horses beside them.

The leader of the officials should know who it was. He forced a smile and went up to them.

The person did not even get off his horse. He threw a token over. The official took a rough look and returned the token respectfully.

“Second Young Master is back. Quick, let him through.” He waved his hand to make way for the people behind him.

The group did not go over directly. The handsome man at the front glanced at Shen Yijia and the others who were surrounded by officials and asked, “What’s wrong with them?”

The smile on the leader’s face froze and he opened his mouth.

“We have Lord Jing’an’s token. He insisted that we stole it and wanted someone to capture us,” Shen Yijia interrupted.

Perhaps hearing that it had something to do with Lord Jing’an, the man put away the insouciance on his face and said seriously, “When did Lord Jing’an’s things become something that anyone can steal?”

The official said awkwardly, “I said that they might have faked it and wanted to get someone to verify it first.”

“That’s not what you said just now.” Shen Yijia exposed him bluntly.

That’s right, the guilty look on the official’s face. The man frowned. “Show it to me.”

The two tokens were still in the hands of the officials. Shen Yijia did not give him a chance to react. She flashed over and snatched them back. She was about to hand them to the man when a hand reached out and took the token from her hand.

Song Jingchen put away the piece Xuanyuan Ziming had given him into his sleeve and handed Xuanyuan Ce’s piece to the attendant accompanying the man.

The servant confirmed that there was no problem with the token before handing it to his master..
