Chapter 974 Blue City
Jiu Lao was silent for a while, and then said: "It seems that during this period, the group of people from the inner realm are here to look for you?"
Gu Panxia nodded and said: "Nine times out of ten."
"In order to find you, those people turned the entire city upside down. It seems like they left just yesterday. Even the other two cities seemed to have been turned upside down."
After hearing this, Gu Panxia just sighed helplessly.
She was still hesitating whether she should continue to follow Jiu Lao and the others, or leave with the guards. Now it seemed that she could only continue to go back with Jiu Lao and Zhi'er.
After spending a long time shopping with Jiulao and Zhier, and buying a lot of supplies for the road, the three of them continued on their way.
It was only half a day's journey from Wancheng to Mengcheng, so it was dusk when the three of them arrived in Mengcheng.
Unlike the bustle of Wancheng, Mengcheng seemed a bit deserted, and the pedestrians on the road were also in a hurry, which was a bit less leisurely than the pedestrians of Wancheng.
Gu Panxia opened the curtain and looked at it for a moment, then lowered it again.
Seeing that Jiu Lao had no intention of staying in Mengcheng, Gu Panxia said with some confusion: "Senior, why don't we rest for one night in Mengcheng?"
Jiu Lao smiled and said: "No rest, let's go directly out of Mengcheng. There are several inns at the junction of Mengcheng and Lancheng. Let's rest there."
After Gu Panxia heard this, she stopped asking. She turned around, only to see Zhi'er opposite her nodding her little head like a chicken pecking at rice.
She chuckled, stood up slightly, sat next to Zhi'er, and put her head on her shoulder.
After Zhier called "sister", she closed her eyes again and continued to sleep.
For a moment, except for Zhi'er's breathing and the sound of the wheels rolling, everything in the carriage seemed very peaceful.
Gu Panxia didn't know when she fell asleep. When she woke up, the carriage had already left Mengcheng and was walking on a flat field road.
The sound of frogs and crickets could be heard from time to time. She opened the curtain and saw that it was dark all around. There were paddy fields on both sides of the road with neatly planted seedlings.
"After passing this small village, we will reach the inn not far ahead."
As if aware of her movements, Jiu Lao spoke out.
After Gu Panxia responded softly, silence returned to the carriage again.
Gu Panxia turned her head to look at Zhi'er, who was still sleeping sweetly, then leaned against the carriage and continued to rest with her eyes closed.
By the time they arrived at the inn, it was already midnight.
Today's sky is full of stars, but there is no moon. On the road, except for the faint yellow light emitting from the inn, the surroundings are dark.
Gu Panxia gently woke up Zhi'er, and the two of them helped each other get out of the carriage and entered the inn with Mr. Jiu.
This inn is very simple. There are less than ten tables and chairs in the lobby. It is empty and there is no one.
The wine boss asked the shopkeeper for two upper rooms and two jars of wine, and then he went to the room under the guidance of the waiter.
After Gu Panxia and Zhi'er entered the room, they didn't even have time to take off their clothes and fell asleep directly.
Early the next morning, after the three of them had a simple breakfast in the inn, they left the inn and continued on their way.
Blue City is the largest city in the entire Central Region.
Although it is not as lively and prosperous as Wancheng, it is much better than Mengcheng.
"Lancheng is managed by the Lan family. Although it is not as prosperous and wealthy as Wancheng, the people's lives are stable and very good."
Listening to Jiu Lao's rambling explanation, Gu Panxia didn't make a sound, but listened quietly.
