Traveling through famine: The space peasant girl

On the rest of the journey, Master Xie did not look for any familiar place to stay, but instead directly paid for it, so their journey was very fast. Twenty-five days later, they arrived at Jicheng, a city in Jizhou close to Qiongdao, which is the nearest big city to Qiongdao.

The person in charge of this city is a prince from another family. He followed Taizu to conquer the world. After the founding of the dynasty, he retired from the army and handed over his military power. He was willing to come to the desolate place of Jizhou and became a city lord. He never returned to Jinling in his life. In addition, he had only one legitimate child in his family. He was sick for a long time because of some unknown poison. This prince had been looking for a miracle doctor to save his son.

After all, he was over fifty years old and had only this one child. He must have raised her like a treasure. He even went to Putuo Temple on the outskirts of the city to have his fortune told. If the girl of destiny did not appear, the man would probably only live to the age of twenty, so it was best to make plans early.

Now the City Lord of Jizhou is looking for his soulmate every day. He even inquired about the Crown Princess, but she has a bad fate and cannot support the life of the young City Lord.

Because of his son's illness and the constant persuasion from the elders in the family, he simply gave up the idea of ​​taking power. The emperor also completely let down his guard against the city lord. He only left a few people to keep an eye on him and let him do whatever he wanted.

Therefore, his family was able to preserve the lives of all the old and young because their elders had foresight and withdrew from the political stage early. The current lord of this city is surnamed Yu. Until now, they can still see the various notices posted at the city gate looking for a miracle doctor. They are even posted all over the city wall for fear that they will be invisible.

Wang Shiyu had no idea about the situation in the city, nor did she know about the pursuers behind her. She was being dragged by Zhou Qingyun and had no way to do anything else but watch.

However, Master Xie did not want to get into any trouble, so he did not go directly into the city with his men. Instead, he arranged for his men to go into the city to purchase some supplies, and then left directly in the direction of Qiong Island, intending to deliver the supplies to them in a few days. He did not want to cause any trouble, so they did not see the appearance of Jizhou City.

The name Qiongdao sounds nice, but to be honest it is just an island, a small island with scarce supplies. There is a small town on the island called Qiongdao Town, which is simple and easy to remember.

As for the old man and his men, their target is the Qiongdao Town, which is a lawless area. Although it is vast and sparsely populated, the land is barren and it is impossible to grow any good crops. Even if crops are grown, most of them are saline-alkali land and will not sprout at all. Therefore, the imperial court basically does not send troops to guard that place, and even the officials are unwilling to go there. It is no exaggeration to say that poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people. It took City Lord Yu more than ten years to clean up this place, and those places where filth and dirt were hidden finally saw the light of day.

Therefore, there were often bandits causing chaos there. No one knew why the old man chose this place, not even Wang Shiyu. Because before meeting the Zhang family's team, the old man had already made up his mind to come to Qiong Island, and he was even very decisive. You know, they had seen many prosperous towns on the road, but the old man did not stop and came straight here. No one knew what the old man was thinking.

After leaving the boundaries of Jizhou City, the boards on Wang Shiyu and his companions' carriage were also removed. Now the weather in Jizhou is very hot, and it feels painful like burning people, but the people here seem to have gotten used to such temperatures and don't take it to heart. Moreover, it is different from the sunlight that had caused them to be burned by ultraviolet rays before. It seems that such high temperatures are only caused by the special weather here.

So sometimes they would open the curtains to ventilate a little when they felt it was too stuffy. Otherwise, sitting in the carriage would feel like sitting in a steamer. Since entering Jizhou, the temperature has been getting hotter day by day, even to the point of being scary. Wang Shiyu once secretly took out a thermometer to measure the temperature, and it was already 42 degrees, which was simply unbelievable.

After entering Jizhou, Zhou Qingyun finally put his mind at ease. He knew that as long as he entered Jizhou, those who were chasing him would no longer follow him.

Because here, those people don't have such long arms, especially the City Lord Yu of Jizhou, who does not allow people from the court to extend their paws here, because he is a staunch royalist and only listens to the emperor's orders. So even when many princes wanted to intervene on the seaside of Jizhou to earn some money, they were rejected by the City Lord Yu.
