The centre door of the Han Mansion was wide open, and nearly a hundred people escorted Han Ning out of the mansion. Mr and Mrs Han Sheng’an were even by Han Ning’s side, constantly exhorting her, a little uneasy about their daughter who was about to travel far away.
Over the past two months, Mo Wuji had been nestled inside his small courtyard for fear of being backstabbed, and was not very clear about how many people were travelling with Han Ning to the Imperial Capital. Now seeing nearly a hundred people going out, he asked Ding Bu Er by his side with some surprise, “Bu Er, are there many people accompanying the young lady to Chang Luo this time?”
Ding Bu Er let out a heave and said in Mo Wuji’s ear, “Apart from Miss, there are actually only four people accompanying along to Chang Luo City. I had the opportunity to follow along thanks to your blessings. The other two are Peng Maohua and Shao Lan.”
“So few?” Instead, Mo Wuji’s heart became a little uneasy, if the number of people was so small, it would be difficult to ensure safety.
“I heard that the original master intended to find twenty people to go with the young lady, but it’s just that the Imperial Capital has an order that every person attending the Leaping Immortal Sect Assembly can only bring a maximum of four attendants.” Ding Bu Er explained.
The group of people walked out of Rao Zhou City, and only then did Mo Wuji truly understand why the imperial capital had to limit the number of people. Outside Rao Zhou City had long been packed with people, numerous people saying their goodbyes. Obviously it wasn’t Han Ning alone who went to attend the Leaping Immortal Sect Assembly, it was the twenty to thirty that Mo Wuji saw.
Those who didn’t see it must be even more, these people plus their entourage were estimated to be in the hundreds. This was still a lordship, how many lordships were there in the entire Star Han Empire, and how many people did they add up to? When Han Sheng’an said that there were more than ten people from Cheng Yu Kingdom to participate, he definitely didn’t count those counties.
Some of these people started to group together, saying goodbye to their families and then stepping onto the beast car to go on the road. When he saw that Han Sheng’an had arrived, he quickly consulted with a few people together. A few moments later, Peng Maohua came over and whispered to Mo Wuji and Ding Bu Er, “Our Cold Mansion is teaming up with Cao Hao, the Junior County King of Wuxue County, as well as Ji Changhe, the first grandson of Marquis Ji of Fengcheng Marquis, as well as Yang Junsong, the only son of the head of the Chengyu branch of the Ten Thousand Shops Merchant Company. You must remember that either of these people are not to be messed with, so try not to clash with them.”
Ding Bu Er patted his chest, “Chief Protector Peng, don’t worry, I’m not someone who causes trouble. Since we’re forming a team, we’re all teammates now, so naturally we have to work together.”
Peng Maohua nodded his head, he was just casually mentioning it, Ding Bu Er knew the score, so naturally he wouldn’t mess around. Mo Wuji was even more inconsistent with the rumours, in his impression, Mo Wuji was very proper apart from being late for the first gathering. He didn’t even go out of the courtyard door, how would he cause trouble?
Han Ning also bid farewell to her family at this time and greeted Mo Wuji and the others as they boarded the car. What made Mo Wuji puzzled was that Cold Sheng An did not even give him any more instructions before he left.
“Let’s go, let’s get on the car too.” Ding Bu Er pulled Mo Wuji.
Right at this moment, Mo Wuji suddenly felt some coldness on his body, he subconsciously looked back as a silhouette quickly turned around and disappeared.
I wonder if this was coming to deal with him, otherwise how could he possibly sense discomfort? Thinking of this, Mo Wuji didn’t dare to linger longer and quickened his pace to board the Cold Family’s beast carriage.
The beast carriage was divided into two compartments, with Han Ning and Shao Lan in the inner compartment, and the three of them outside. Both compartments were not too small, five people staying inside did not seem crowded.
With a yell from the driver, the beast carriage started. Because they were grouped with three other families, the four beast carts also set off at the same time.
This kind of beast cart Mo Wuji also had some knowledge of, the beasts that pulled the carts were similar to horses, only that their endurance and defence capabilities were a little stronger.
Of course it couldn’t be any stronger than a car, there were bus vehicles like cars on the streets of Cheng Yu Kingdom. Unfortunately, this kind of bus vehicle could only be driven in Seungwoo Kingdom, or places not far around. Once they left Seungwoo Kingdom, there would be no road to travel on.
The main reason for this had to do with the fact that the people here didn’t pay attention to the development of science and technology, as well as the fact that it had to do with the fact that there were many countries in the area.
Even in the county lord country under the same lord country, there are also many factions, want to build a smooth road through several countries, it is really a bit difficult.
On the contrary, the various countries were doing their best to plant spiritual medicines and excavate minerals, and these things were the main theme here.
……
In addition to the official road when just out of Raozhou is still spacious and smooth, the back of the road is almost all bumpy mountain road, good and then the beast car’s anti-vibration is still doing a good job.
Along the way, they also met many beast carts travelling to the imperial capital. Mo Wuji realised that apart from the very few people who knew each other who would greet each other, most of the people were all focused on catching up. Even the rest of the four families that were grouped with them, other than the four main protagonists who were going to attend the conference would exchange pleasantries with each other when they were taking a break for a meal, most of the time, they also stayed out of each other’s way.
A month later, the caravan stopped at the vast and boundless seashore. When Mo Wuji and the others arrived here, the place was already packed with people. Mo Wuji took a rough look, there were at least tens of thousands of people. All sorts of beast vehicles were almost parked all over the place, as well as some flying beasts.
Mo Wuji was about to ask if these flying birds and beasts were the same as the beast carts, when he saw another huge flying bird fly in from the distance before landing on an open space. The wind currents raised by those wings could be felt even by Mo Wuji who was tens of metres away.
On the back of that flying avian beast, there was a huge circular tent. After the flying avian beast landed, the tent opened and several people flew down from the flying avian beast.
This was indeed a beast vehicle, only it was much more convenient than the land travelling beast vehicle they were sitting in. It was estimated that aeroplanes weren’t as convenient, so it was no wonder that the people here weren’t much interested in machinery. If there was this kind of flying bird, who would get any aeroplanes? A little bit of time is all wasted in the process of taking off and descending.
“Damn, when will we have this kind of flying beast vehicle in Cheng Yu Kingdom, where we need to bump around for a few days to get here?” A dissatisfied light curse came from not far away from Mo Wuji.
Without turning around Mo Wuji knew who this guy was, it was the Wuxue County Kingdom’s Little County King, Cao Hao, who had teamed up with them. This guy had a big temper, and would break out in curses at anything he wasn’t satisfied with. Once he even fought with a small county king from another country because of road robbery.
“Bu Er, is this expensive? Why doesn’t the Cheng Yu Kingdom have it?” Mo Wuji asked Ding Bu Er in a low voice.
He thought that even if this beast carriage was expensive, Cheng Yu Country, as a lord country, should be able to afford it, right?
Ding Bu Er hemmed and hawed, “This isn’t a matter of whether it’s expensive or not, this is a status symbol. It’s not easy to purchase this kind of beast carriage, it’s not something that money can solve. I heard that there is a clan that specialises in cultivating beast carriage flying beasts, what is it called ……”
“Don’t talk too much, go to the hotel to rest and wait for the boat here.” Han Ning interrupted Ding Bu Er’s words.
Cao Hao swept a glance at Mo Wuji, slightly disdainful words, “Sister Ning, your cultivation qualification is not bad, just that this vision of yours is also too bad, if I pick this kind of rubbish to go to the imperial capital together? Oh ……”
Obviously he heard Mo Wuji’s words, plus the fact that Mo Wuji never saluted him along the way made him a little upset as well. With his status, Mo Wuji should have knelt down when he saw it.
Han Ning’s face sank, but he didn’t retort on the spot. When Cao Hao saw that Han Ning didn’t dare to refute himself, his heart was even more disdainful, ”Senior Sister Ning, my father asked us to form a team, so naturally, he doesn’t want my teammates to be too bad. To be honest, I’m worried for myself right now. You know, nearly two months of sea travelling, that’s when it’s most dangerous.”
Without inviting or messing with this guy, he was scolded by this guy for calling him rubbish, it would be strange for Mo Wuji to be happy in his heart. A county king’s son was nothing, he was still a globally renowned biologist and pharmacologist on Earth, how many powerful people requested him?
Mo Wuji hemmed and hawed, looking warmly at Cao Hao and said, “I think you don’t need to worry about yourself, even if you’re a piece of sh*t, there’s a day when you meet a sh*thouse, there’s something to patronise you eventually, don’t be in a hurry.”
