Escape after crossing

Leng Chenming said to Xuanyi with a serious expression: "Send a message to the people at the secret door immediately, and ask them to keep a close eye on the mysterious man's every move, and report to me immediately if there is any movement!" After saying that, Leng Chenming fell into deep thought.

At the same time, Jiang Ziluo also wrote a letter to her parents. She knew that this operation was of great importance, but she didn't want to make her parents worry too much, so her words revealed a kind of firmness and confidence.

She told her parents that she would be home a little later, asked them to wait for her and asked them to take good care of themselves.

Then, Jiang Ziluo took out another piece of letter paper and began to write a letter to Xue Lao, in which she explained in detail why she could not return home on time and asked Xue Lao to stay for a while longer to protect the safety of her family.

She also emphasized that she hoped Xue Lao would not tell Jiang's father and mother the truth so as to avoid frightening them too much.

After writing the two letters, Jiang Ziluo gently folded them and put them into an envelope, then solemnly handed the letter to Leng Chenming. Leng Chenming called Xuan San and asked him to give it to the owner of Huajianfu and make sure to deliver it as soon as possible.

Jiang Ziluo also instructed: "Make sure to deliver these two letters to my parents and Elder Xue in person."

After Xuan San took the order and left, Jiang Ziluo took a deep breath, looked into the distance with a firm gaze, and secretly vowed in his heart that he must protect the people he cared about and the soldiers who went far away for the stability of the country.

Jiang Ziluo carefully arranged for Mingyue and Mingxi to buy replacement clothes for the three people, and specifically reminded them to buy men's clothing. In addition, they also had to buy a medicine box and some necessary medicinal materials.

After all the items were prepared, before dawn the next day, the group of six set out on their journey to Yongxi City in the western border.

Along the way, everyone spent almost all their time on horseback - resting and taking a nap, drinking water when thirsty, or eating when hungry, but all of these necessary actions were completed on horseback.

Originally Leng Chenming was worried that Jiang Ziluo might not be able to withstand such a arduous and rushed schedule, so he always kept a close eye on her condition.

However, surprisingly, he never noticed that Jiang Ziluo showed any discomfort from beginning to end.

But what was the truth? In order to ensure that everyone could maintain sufficient energy to continue moving forward, Jiang Ziluo secretly replaced all the drinking water with space water!

After several days of sleeping in the open air and traveling day and night, the group finally arrived at the foot of Yongxi City.

However, considering the sensitive identities of Leng Chenming and the two brothers Xuan Yi and Xuan San, it is inconvenient for them to appear in the city openly. Everyone discussed and decided to wait until the next morning when the city gates were opened and disguise themselves as ordinary people to sneak into the city.

As a result, they would have to spend the night in the countryside outside the city. Fortunately, the other four were already accustomed to this situation - whether it was Xuanyi, Xuansan, Mingyue, or Mingxi.

As for Leng Chenming, there is no need to say more. After all, he is a tough soldier who has fought his way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. It seems that camping in the wild is not a difficult task for him.

But everyone was still worried about another person in the team, Jiang Ziluo. Although they didn't say it, they couldn't hide the worry on their faces.

Jiang Ziluo saw everything, and couldn't help but feel touched and warm in her heart. She took the initiative to comfort her by saying that she had fled with her family due to drought in her early years, and that there was no need to worry too much about her. Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

This western border is indeed full of mountains and steep terrain! Looking around, there are very few plains, and there are towering peaks everywhere.

They chose to rest for a while on a mountain closest to Yongxi City. The weather at this moment was obviously much colder than during the day, even in the mountains.

Leng Chenming led Xuanyi and Xuansan to hunt together. After several days of long journey, everyone had been relying on the simplest vegetarian food to fill their stomachs.

Either I nibble on a few hard steamed buns or chew on a few dry biscuits. Tonight I finally have a chance to change my taste and add some delicious meat!

At the same time, Jiang Ziluo, Mingyue and Mingxi were responsible for searching for sufficient firewood around. After the division of labor was clear, everyone took action. Everyone knew the importance of the task they were responsible for and devoted themselves to it with all their strength.

Not long after, Leng Chenming and his companions came back with a few wild rabbits. Mingyue and Mingxi also picked up a lot of dry firewood.

After Jiang Ziluo started a fire, he skewered the prepared rabbit meat with branches and roasted it over the fire. After a while, the rabbit meat gave off an alluring aroma. "What a nice smell!" Mingyue couldn't help swallowing her saliva.

"Wait a little longer, it's not cooked yet." Jiang Ziluo said with a smile. Then, she turned to Mingyue and gave her instructions.

"Mingyue, go get the bag on my horse's back. It contains something even more delicious. You will definitely find it more delicious when you taste it later."

Hearing this, Mingyue and Mingxi looked at each other, their hearts full of doubts. The bundle was clearly packed by the two of them, but was there really anything delicious in it?

Why didn't they have any impression at all? All kinds of questions came to their minds, but the two did not ask.

This reminded Mingyue of the time when Jiang Ziluo was treating Leng Chenming's injuries, and he also took out various items from his sleeves like magic.

Although everyone was very curious at the time, they were also aware of their own status and understood that there were some things they shouldn't ask too much about.

Mingxi didn't know this at the moment, only Mingyue was thinking about it secretly. She thought of the experience of healing the wound, so she couldn't help but secretly glance at Jiang Ziluo's sleeves again, as if she was expecting to find some secrets from it.

Leng Chenming looked at Jiang Ziluo's skilled movements and couldn't help but feel admiration in his heart. He found that he admired this smart and kind woman more and more.

As night fell and the stars twinkled, everyone sat around the fire, eating the delicious roasted rabbit and feeling each other's warmth.

Xuan Yi and Xuan San had just received the order from Leng Chenming - to go around and scout for potential dangers, so they did not witness the whole process of Jiang Ziluo taking out salt and barbecue seasoning from his bag and sprinkling them evenly on the roasted rabbit meat.

When they tasted the rabbit meat, an amazing aroma hit their noses. This unique aroma was very different from the food they had prepared before, and it was more intense and tempting.

After taking a bite, Xuan Yi asked in surprise: "Miss Jiang, you not only added salt to the rabbit meat, but also something else? The taste is really wonderful! I have never tasted anything so delicious."

Facing Xuan Yi's question, Jiang Ziluo naturally revealed a sense of pride. After all, the barbecue ingredients she used were secret recipes invented after much research in later generations. Paired with this piece of unpolluted, pure and natural wild rabbit meat, the taste was truly indescribable.

Leng Chenming looked at the person following him with disdain, muttering to himself: "Look at this useless look, it's so embarrassing!"

However, no one else noticed this. Just now, Leng Chenming's eyes were fixed on Jiang Ziluo the whole time, and he had no time to care what seasoning she sprinkled on the rabbit meat.
