Chapter 425: Diversion
By the next day, although County Magistrate Zhou did what he said and tried to sell a batch of grain for Wen Bingyan, as he said yesterday, there was not much stock in Qingyang City, and even if they had raised money, they could not buy enough grain.
I believe that even if you go to other counties, this situation will not be very good. It will be a drop in the bucket for real demand.
This further made Wen Bingyan determined to go to the mysterious place that Miss Bai Yu said to make her final attempt.
We took a break for two days, and we did not continue to stay considering the urgent matter. After they recruited a group of accompanying guards again, they took Zhou Shize to lent them some troops for safety reasons to protect them. Then they reorganized the caravan and set off again, leaving Qingyang City and planned to continue to rush towards other areas.
Looking at the caravan gradually disappearing from sight from afar, Zhou Shize sighed softly. Although he sympathized with the suffering people, it was a pity that he was indeed helpless now.
However, after leaving the area of Qingyang City for a while, the caravan, which had been moving very smoothly, suddenly stopped because Wen Bingyan, who was sitting in the carriage, sent an order to stop the convoy.
The guard in charge of seeing him off couldn't help but feel a little strange. He walked up to the carriage and asked, "Ms. Wen, why did he stop suddenly? There are barren mountains and rivers nearby. We'd better go to another county before sunset, otherwise it would be inconvenient."
The curtain of the carriage slowly lifted out from inside, revealing Wen Bingyan's beautiful side face.
"Let's change the way!" she said word by word, her face calm.
"Different?" The guard couldn't help but look stunned.
"Walk towards the northwest until the sun sets!" She continued to add, turning her head and looking at the mountains from a distance, with a solemn look.
However, her order made most people here feel incredible and difficult to understand. They all stared wide and looked back at the direction of the carriage.
After all, this place is already an extremely remote place, and is restricted by geographical environment and innate conditions. Even a county like Qingyang City, which is somewhat chaotic and poor, can be considered relatively good. If you want to buy more food with a chance, you may only have a little chance of moving towards the richer and fertile land in the mainland.
If you continue to walk northwest, it will be close to the border of the Holy Dynasty. It will not only be vast and sparsely populated, but also will only be even worse in both the weather and the geographical environment, and even Qingyang City is not as good as!
How can you buy more food in such a ghost place where birds don’t poop!
Did this Miss Wen realize that things were not done, so she simply gave up and walked around randomly?
Immediately, even if someone with more experience was going to come up and dissuade him, no matter what, it would be better to bring the food back to save some people than to sit and wait for death.
However, no matter how they dissuaded them, Wen Bingyan seemed to have made up his mind and did not intend to change it easily.
After all, she was the person in charge. Seeing that everyone could not reverse her intentions, they naturally could only follow her orders, turn the direction, and continue to move towards the northwest direction.
Wen Bingyan took a deep breath, sat down again, and looked at the distant horizon with deep eyes.
Naturally, she couldn't say that the real purpose of this trip was to deal with those ghosts or even make transactions. If she really said that, I'm afraid that everyone here might treat her as a monster.
It is precisely because this is the only opportunity at present, so we must seize it even more and not give any missed possibility!
As if she suddenly remembered something, she lowered her head and took out the jade token that Bai Yu gave her at that time, held it in her palm and looked at it seriously, with a look of confusion in her eyes.
Although she had made a decision, she actually didn't know the exact location of the mystery at the moment, and only knew that she should continue to move towards the northwest.
Fortunately, Miss Bai Yu told them an important message at that time, that is, when approaching the entrance of that place, the jade token will automatically give them a certain prompt to help them find the place.
But I don’t know how close it is, what form the prompt will appear.
I originally wanted to ask Miss Bai Yu for more careful questions, but since she said goodbye, she never showed up again. When she asked others, she could not get an accurate answer. She seemed to not know the girl rescued with her. Even Ye Han Cheng Young Master had left after the incident, leaving her nowhere to look for her.
After waiting in Qingyang City for two days, in addition to preparing for the caravan, she was just to find out the news. Unfortunately, all she got were disappointed, so she did not continue to wait without a deadline and planned to set off for her own search.
Yubai's fingers slowly clenched the jade token. She slowly let out a sigh of relief, but her eyes became more firm.
"This time may be even more miserable, and may even be life-threatening. But... no matter how difficult it is, you must seize this last glimmer of hope..."
...
However, even though he had made up his mind, the caravan still did not find anything after walking towards the northwest for two days. Not only were the guards a little physically and mentally exhausted, but even Wen Bingyan himself couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
"Are I really guessed wrong?"
Inside the carriage, her expression was a little depressed and her eyes were dazed, as if she was a little more haggard than before. She looked at the maid beside her and could only try hard to comfort the lady.
Although no one knows when we will find that mysterious place.
"Miss..." The maid couldn't help but call softly.
Wen Bingyan looked up at her, with a sad look, and finally said, "If we still can't find that place tomorrow, let's go back."
I can still receive at least some food when I go back. Even if she asks for it from house to house, she will have to collect enough food...
After the words came to an end, the carriage became quiet again, after all, that meant the failure of the last glimmer of hope.
However, at this moment, the jade token that had always been like a dead object had no movement suddenly trembled and emitted a mysterious rhythm. Although it could not be said clearly, it seemed to be guiding something!
