Chapter 680 Hot Spring Station
The five people finally got rid of the entanglement of the Yilingji group and started running on their horses.
The terrain of Qingyuan is far less complicated than that of Jinyang City. Most of it is gentle hills and slopes, making it very easy for horses to run.
After walking for about three hours, we finally finished the path and arrived at a road about five or six feet wide. There were obviously many more horse hoof prints and wheel tracks on the road.
I heard from Xin Chengyong that although this road is located in Qingyuan, it is the main road from Yutuo City to Jinyang City. It can also be regarded as an official road between the two cities. It is connected to Chenmu Pass at the foot of Datu Mountain in Jinyang City in the north and Xiehua Pass in Yutuo City in the south.
Chu Xiaomu thought that Qingyuan, which is known as a wild land, actually has such a good road. It doesn't look so wild. Jinyang City and Yutuo City did not include this area in their territory, probably because there are too few people here and too many strange spirits.
As it was getting dark, we finally arrived at Xiehua Pass, the pass on the north side of Yutuo City.
Xiehua Pass was neither as steep as Humu Pass in Bicheng nor as unique as Yixianya Pass in Baijun City. It was simply a stone building built in a shallow valley, with a stone wall about ten feet high built on both sides, extending to the slightly higher slopes on the east and west sides.
The stone walls of the pass are mottled and very old. Although they are not built in a majestic and grand manner, facing the winding green and yellow grassland, they have a desolate and bleak atmosphere.
The ordinary soldiers of Yutuo City guarded the pass, only 20 to 30 people. When the Red Army attacked the east of the territory, most of the soldiers guarding the pass were also withdrawn.
When the officer of the small camp saw that it was Miss Lu Lin who returned to the city, he hurriedly opened the gate of Xiehua Pass and let everyone in.
Lu Linnan Ge briefly asked the small camp officer some questions about the pass and then continued his journey south.
After passing the customs, it was the official road of Yutuo City. There were more pedestrians on the road, but most of them were in a hurry and were not particularly curious about Lu Linnan Ge and his party. Perhaps they did not know the young lady of Yutuo City.
Chu Xiaomu thought that he had come from the distant Baihua Island in the West Sea, and in less than three years, he had actually visited Xihai City, Jinyang City, Bicheng, Shoushan, Baijun City, and Yutuo City in Cangmu Kingdom. This was something most people had never done in their entire lives.
When he was a child, he had longed for the East Continent that adults talked about, and fantasized about visiting it one day to see the different mountains, rivers and people. However, after arriving, he found that although this place was vast and densely populated, it was far from being as beautiful as he had imagined. The people here were greedy, deceitful, vicious and cruel. How could it compare to the secluded place on Baihua Island?
While he was daydreaming, Xin Chengyong and another attendant had found an inn called Wenquan Inn and asked everyone to go in and rest for a night before continuing their journey.
Although the inn was not big, it had separate bathing pools for men and women. The five men had been traveling for days, and their bodies were soaked and dried by sweat, which made them feel very uncomfortable. Chu Xiaomu and the other two men smelled even worse.
When Xiaoying learned that she could finally take a bath, she was so happy that she almost flew up like a butterfly. Although Lu Lin Nan Ge didn't like to laugh much, it was obvious that he was in a good mood and his face softened a lot.
Although Chu Xiaomu could still endure it, he finally found a place where he could take a bath, so he naturally took a good bath.
He was even more surprised to find that the water in the bathing pool actually came out from the ground and was naturally warm. He thought that the world was so big that there were all kinds of wonders and that the Baihua Island where he stayed was indeed too small.
Xin Chengyong and the others saw that in addition to the dozens of scars on Chu Xiaomu's back, there was even a twisted scar the size of a small bowl in the middle. They thought that this young man was only in his twenties, yet he had experienced so much hardship. They couldn't help but feel respect for him.
When he learned that the round, twisted scar on his back was caused by the evil eye of one of the ten generals of the Eye Clan of the Red Sand Nation, he was even more surprised.
Xin Chengyong asked, "Brother Chu, I heard that the Eye Clan of Chisha is very mysterious, and their spiritual arts are far more powerful than those of the other three clans. What are the Demon Eyes and Snake Eyes you encountered like, and what are their spiritual arts like?"
Chu Xiaomu's scouts encountered Rotten Eyes Snake Eyes on the Black Miasma Ancient Road. Except for him, the other eight people were killed. This was the most heartbreaking thing that had ever happened to him in his life, so he seldom mentioned it to others. Even if he did, he only briefly mentioned it and did not dare to recall the details of how Zhou Weide, Zhang Hou, Lin Zhen and the other eight people were slaughtered by the Two-Eyed General.
This was asked by Xin Chengyong, so I had to briefly explain it. By the end, my eyes were filled with tears and I couldn't tell whether they were tears or spring water from the bathtub.
After taking a shower, he felt refreshed, as if the wound on his chest caused by the golden sword had healed a little.
Xiaoying didn't have any extra clothes to change into, so Lu Linnan gave her a set of clothes to wear. This was the characteristic clothing of Yutuo City, with short sleeves and short legs, and the style and patterns were very special.
After Xiaoying put it on, she became more obedient and cute, and she was very happy.
