Chapter 1052 Arriving in the Clear Water Country
"It rained heavily yesterday and the roads outside are slippery. I'm afraid we won't be able to hit the road today."
Considering Feng Qinghua's health, Feng Bei thought it was better to be on the safe side and spend one more day recuperating in the inn.
Feng Qinghua frowned, she was a little worried about Lian Jiang's situation.
"It's no use worrying."
Feng Bei said unceremoniously, "Don't you know your own situation well? Since you have decided to go to such a far place, you must be prepared."
Feng Bei frowned tightly. Even if it didn't rain, Feng Qinghua wouldn't be able to rush to Bishui Country quickly because her body wouldn't allow her to do so.
"good."
Feng Qinghua nodded. She knew what Feng Bei said made sense and she couldn't rush for success.
"You two, don't follow me all the time. This will make your goal too obvious."
Feng Qinghua lowered her voice, glanced at the two guards sitting neatly on one side, and said helplessly.
The two guards looked at each other with expressions of embarrassment on their faces. They were just obeying His Majesty's orders.
"If I say no, I just can't."
Feng Qinghua's face darkened, "I just want to save people. How can I save people when you show off like this?"
Feng Qinghua frowned and looked at the two guards, "If you are unwilling to obey my order, then you can just go back and report to your emperor. Just say that I don't need you."
"Miss Feng, don't worry."
When the guards heard these words, they became panicked. If they were really driven back, I'm afraid the emperor would not let them off easily.
Feng Qinghua nodded and then started to eat breakfast with confidence.
"Have you heard that there was a ghost in this inn last night?"
While Feng Qinghua was eating quietly, she suddenly heard the people next door chatting.
"What the hell?"
The other person looked scared and curious, but he couldn't help but ask.
"I heard that there was a ghost seeking revenge in the inn last night."
What the man said was so true that Feng Qinghua's scalp went numb.
"Afraid?"
Feng Bei observed Feng Qinghua's expression and said slowly.
"I didn't."
Feng Qinghua rolled her eyes. How could she be afraid? She was a new human being from the new century. How could she believe in such rumors about ghosts and gods?
The so-called haunting must be someone taking advantage of the night to make something mysterious.
Feng Bei chuckled, "That's good, otherwise, if you are afraid of ghosts, I really don't know what to do."
Because it rained heavily last night, the inn was crowded with people and very lively. Everyone was waiting for the mountain road to be cleared before setting off.
"Have a good rest tonight."
Feng Bei warned Feng Qinghua before going upstairs.
That night, Feng Qinghua still lost sleep while listening to the whistling wind outside.
Maybe she heard what the man said about being haunted during the day, and Feng Qinghua always felt a little uncomfortable, as if there was really someone in the house.
Feng Qinghua chuckled, she was really suspicious, she would actually be frightened by such a non-existent thing.
With a "squeak" sound, the door was actually pushed open.
Feng Qinghua suddenly became alert, but she did not speak immediately. She wanted to see who was playing tricks here.
There was a rustling sound, and Feng Qinghua noticed the sound of slight footsteps moving slowly in the room.
It's people.
Feng Qinghua turned sideways, judging the man's position based on the sound of footsteps, secretly calculating the best time to take action.
It turned out to be a little thief.
Feng Qinghua chuckled, and when the little thief approached, she sat up from the bed and grabbed the man.
Feng Qinghua lit the oil lamp in the room and then looked at the man.
The man wearing a gray-black hat looked at Feng Qinghua with surprise in his eyes, "You, you're not asleep?"
"Pretend to be a ghost."
Feng Qinghua glared at the little thief, stretched out her hand and hit him, "You were the one pretending to be a ghost last night to scare people, right?"
Feng Qinghua raised her eyebrows at the thief, "The purpose is to steal money."
The little thief saw that even though Feng Qinghua was pregnant, she could still control herself. He immediately did not dare to be presumptuous and knelt down directly towards Feng Qinghua, "Girl, please spare your life."
The thief looked at Feng Qinghua and begged for mercy in a low voice, "I didn't take much money, but my money was really tight, so I resorted to this crooked idea."
Feng Qinghua didn't say anything. She didn't mean to meddle in other people's business. It was just that this person happened to bump into her.
"Go and return the money and get out of here quickly."
Feng Qinghua glared at the little thief and said in a deep voice, "If I see you like this again in the future, I won't let you go lightly."
Feng Qinghua taught the little thief a few words and then let him go.
This little thief just stole some money, and Feng Qinghua didn't want to make things worse. She was not a holy lady, so she wouldn't stay in this inn for a long time, and she didn't need to worry about these chores.
After breakfast on the second day, Feng Qinghua, Feng Bei and two guards set out for the Blue Water Kingdom.
At Feng Bei's insistence, Feng Qinghua still chose a horse-drawn carriage. However, occasionally when encountering suitable circumstances, Feng Qinghua would also ride a horse for a while.
The group of people did not delay and rushed to the Bishui Kingdom as quickly as possible. When they arrived at the border of the Bishui Kingdom, it was already four days later.
"Would you like to take a rest first?"
Feng Bei looked at Feng Qinghua's haggard look and frowned slightly. They had been hurrying over in the past few days, but Feng Qinghua didn't even say a word of discomfort.
But Feng Qinghua's face said it all.
"Ahead is the border of Bishui Kingdom. Let's wait until we enter these small towns."
Seeing that she was about to arrive at the Bishui Kingdom, she was naturally not in a hurry.
"good."
Feng Bei nodded, but felt a little uneasy in his heart. The traitors from the Bishui Kingdom had always lived in these small border towns, causing these small towns to be in war all year round, and the people were living in dire straits.
The border is located at the very edge of Bishui Country, and it is difficult for the main city to reach here.
"Who?"
As soon as several people arrived at the city gate, they were stopped by someone, "You need a token to enter the city. Where are your tokens?"
Feng Qinghua and Feng Bei looked at each other, both of them looking confused. When did the process even need a token?
Feng Qinghua frowned slightly, they didn't have tokens, were they going to be turned away like this?
Just when Feng Qinghua and Feng Bei were helpless, the guard who had been following Feng Qinghua suddenly came out and handed the token in his hand to the guarding soldier.
Feng Qinghua glanced at the guards in surprise and said nothing, but quietly waited for the guard's answer.
