Seekers Without Bounds

The young men who were sitting in the boat were making a lot of noise all the way. Shi Xunfei looked inside and outside.

With the interesting Mao Yaozu sitting in front of him, the journey was not too boring.

Mu Xingzhou traveled for a day and a night. The sun had just risen in the early morning, and a large field of golden rapeseed flowers appeared outside the window.

On the next level are camellias of various colors, like steps.

There are different flowers on each floor, many of which are rare varieties that Shi Xunfei cannot even name.

All the buildings are built directly in the sea of ​​flowers, like buds about to bloom, blending in with the surrounding scenery.

Even Shi Xunfei, who is not an expert in aesthetics, finds it magnificent.

"Is this the Cotton City? It's so beautiful." Shi Xunfei muttered to himself while looking out the window.

"Don't just focus on looking at the scenery. It will be more interesting when the young master of Muqian comes up." Mao Yaozu said.

"Young Master?" Shi Xunfei was wondering.

The servants outside the boat were already lined up on the side, and the side was filled with all kinds of large and small bags. As soon as the door opened, they started to carry the luggage into the boat.

Shi Xunfei originally thought that Mao Yaozu had the most luggage, but now he saw that his luggage was dwarfed by his own. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this was not about joining the army, but clearly about moving.

"Master, please move aside for a moment. Can you put some things here?" the servant who was carrying the luggage asked carefully. Shi Xunfei had the least things in the entire boat, and even his own luggage basket was only filled with a little bit.

"Let it go, it's okay." Shi Xunfei didn't care.

"Put it somewhere else. The place here is reserved for me by my brother."

Mao Yaozu in the front row stood up and refused. The servant hurriedly walked away with his head down.

"I say, Ah Fei, you are so naive. Why did you give him your position?"

Mao Yaozu was so outgoing that he gave Shi Xunfei a nickname.

"It's empty here anyway, so it doesn't matter." Shi Xunfei was a little puzzled.

"Do you really not care? If someone takes something from you during the journey or when you get off the boat, but the item is gone, do you think it was taken by the servant who transported the luggage or by you? Look at that guy's shifty eyes. He put the item directly at your place even though there was obviously an empty space. He has bad intentions." Mao Yaozu warned.

"So that's how it is. You are really talented." Shi Xunfei thought Mao Yaozu was very interesting and praised him.

"That's right. Who doesn't know me, Mao Yaozu? I am both civil and military. I can pacify the world when I'm on horseback, and I can also compose poems and essays when I'm off the horse."

Mao Yaozu was delighted when he was praised by Shi Xunfei.

"Eighteenth sister, can you still compose poems? Even if the seventeen sisters each teach you one poem, you still can't memorize them all." Mao Yaozu's mortal enemy, Pan Youlong teased.

"Pan Youchong, keep your mouth clean."

"What did you call me? You want to fight?"

"With your tiny body, even a hair falling from the sky can kill you."

The two of them started cockfighting mode, sitting opposite each other and bickering like they were performing crosstalk.

The servants had already arranged the luggage, but the real protagonist had not yet arrived, so much so that the young people in the car were getting impatient.

"Zhou Erqiao, when are we leaving? We've been waiting for so long."

The restless teenagers had no patience to wait and started arguing around Zhou Er Bridge.

"Masters, I don't know either. I'm just a host. Why would the young master from Miandu come and listen to me?" Zhou Erqiao was held hostage and had no choice.

"Damn it, we have to wait so long and they don't even let us go down to play. What's so great about Miandu?" someone complained.

"Miandu is really amazing. If anyone disagrees, just come out and give it a try."

A voice came from afar, and the royal relatives of Cotton City finally arrived.

"Are we going to sit here today? It's just a shabby house, without even a single room. Are we going to sit here with these lower-class warriors?"

There were four people in total, dressed gorgeously and started complaining as soon as they entered the door.

"Who said that just now?" One of the tallest people standing in the front of the boat asked arrogantly. But suddenly there was complete silence below, and no one dared to speak.

"A bunch of cowards, they dare to speak but not to admit." The big guy didn't pursue the matter any further and started to arrange the seating.

"Hey, you four, go sit in the back!" Upon hearing this, the young man who originally occupied the two front seats in the second row quietly packed up his things and moved to the empty seats in the back.

"You have no vision at all. Do you think you can sit here? Lu Zhaohui, you sit second on the left, Lin Yin, you sit in front of him, and Ah Dai, sit behind me."

The big guy was obviously the leader of the four people, and six servants followed behind him. Although there were still seats left, no one dared to sit down. They all stood straight at the end of the wooden boat.

"Look how proud you are." Mao Yaozu walked up to Shi Xunfei and said.

"You'd better keep quiet. It seems like they are up to no good." Shi Xunfei was afraid that Mao Yaozu might not control his words and cause unnecessary disputes.

"Brother Liu, you said that Wangcheng is so stingy that they sent this broken boat to pick us up. I thought it was for servants." said Ah Dai who was sitting behind the big guy.

"Forget it. I received news that something happened over there. The wooden boat that was supposed to pick us up has gone to pick up other people." The young man surnamed Liu glanced at Lu Zhaohui and signaled Ah Dai to stop talking.

"Okay, everyone is here. We will not stop at any other stations and will go straight to the city of delusion. I wish all the masters a pleasant journey."

Zhou Erqiao finished speaking quickly and left quickly. There was no benefit in staying with a group of people he couldn't afford to offend.

The wooden boat set off again. Everyone was tired after waiting from early morning till dusk, and most people on the boat fell into a deep sleep as soon as it got dark.

Shi Xunfei looked at the stars outside the window. He had been out for a few days and wondered if his master had returned to the Sacred Tree Temple.

Looking back at the six servants standing there, they didn't find a place to sit down even though there were obviously extra seats in the boat.

All standing, and they could actually fall asleep while standing. The show of Miandu is really extraordinary, Shi Xunfei thought.

Along the way, the green gradually faded, and the wooden boat's altitude dropped a lot. Only where the boat passed was there a hint of green, and in the distance there was only yellow desert. It seemed that we were getting closer and closer to the city of delusion.

Wangcheng is an oasis surrounded by deserts and wastelands. In the city is the Meibi Lake, the only water source in Tengji.

It is also the border city between Yunchuan and Yeluo State, under the jurisdiction of Yingzhou. Like a green leaf falling in the desert, the wooden boat that only travels a few times a year gradually approaches from afar.

The people who were going to pick up the boat were already waiting outside. After all, there were four young masters from Miandu, especially the young man named Liu, who had a prominent background.

After getting off the wooden boat, Shi Xunfei looked at the endless yellow sand and felt a little uncomfortable. He didn't know how strong the wind was in the yellow sand.

"Shi Xunfei, you are also assigned to the Wangcheng Army, right? My sister spent a lot of money to arrange a position for me in the Wangcheng Army." Mao Yaozu whispered to Shi Xunfei.

"Wangcheng Army? Is there any difference?" His thoughts were brought back by Mao Yaozu's words.

"You didn't come here without knowing why, did you?" Mao Yaozu thought that Shi Xunfei came from the Temple of the Divine Tree, and that he must have been given a lucrative position.

"There's no need to whisper to each other, I'll call out the names now, and you should return to your camps according to the names I call." The group was directly assigned to the wooden boat station in Wangcheng.

As expected, all those who came from Miandu were arranged in the Wangcheng Army. When the names of the Wangcheng Army were reported, Mao Yaozu didn't hear his face turn pale instantly, muttering in his mouth, how could this happen?

"Next are the Washi Patrol Battalion and the Washi Border Army."

"Washi Patrol Camp, Washi Patrol Camp." Mao Yaozu prayed softly.

"Shi Xunfei, Mao Yaozu, the Washi border army. Pan Youlong, the Washi patrol camp." Everyone was settled.

"Damn it, how could this be possible!" Mao Yaozu was furious. His family had spent nearly 100,000 amber crystals.

I agreed to stay in the Wangcheng Army, but unexpectedly I was assigned to the most dangerous Washi Border Army.

"Aren't the Waishi border troops good?" Shi Xunfei asked Mao Yaozu who was indignant.

"It's not just bad, it's a life-and-death situation. For the entire Wangcheng border defense, 90% of the casualties were caused by the Waishi border troops." Mao Yaozu was in an extremely low mood, and Pan Youlong said in a low voice.

"Uh." Shi Xunfei also felt a little confused because he had read the literature.

But the Shenshu Temple mercenary camp did not divide the troops so finely, and counted all the casualties each year in the Wangcheng Army.

Since I'm here, I might as well make the best of it. I don't have any acquaintances here, so I can only take things one step at a time.

"Shi Xunfei, didn't you come to the Shenshu Temple without saying hello? And you went to that damn place too." Mao Yaozu came back to his senses and asked.

"There are very few records about the Wangcheng Army at the Divine Tree Hall. I always thought that the border defense was entirely the responsibility of the Wangcheng Army."

Shi Xunfei actually turned a disaster into a blessing, as the ones who really wanted to cause trouble for him were in the Wangcheng Army.

But four warriors suddenly came in from Mian Du and squeezed Shi Xunfei and Mao Yaozu to the border of Washi.

"The Washi Border Army and the Washi Patrol Battalion do not need to enter Wangcheng. Follow me to the west gate to gather. Border affairs are urgent, and we must set off immediately."

After the personnel were assigned, the respective team leaders returned to their base with their men.

There were fifteen people in the group, ten of them stayed in Wangcheng Army, and five of them were in the direction of Washi. Shi Xunfei and Mao Yaozu were a little confused, because both Wangcheng Army and Washi Patrol Battalion had people to meet them, but no one from Washi Border Army came to receive them.

"Shi Xunfei, Mao Yaozu, because the border troops are short of manpower, you will return with our Washi Patrol Battalion. I am Qi Dali, the captain of the Patrol Battalion who is in charge of the response this time!"

The person who was speaking was over thirty years old, wearing leather armor. His voice was like thunder and was very majestic.

"It's really annoying that we are not given any time to rest," Mao Yaozu complained.

"It's okay, it's boring on the boat. I just don't understand, what are you doing here and why are you bringing so many things?" Mao Yaozu had too much luggage, so Shi Xunfei could only help carry it.

"Oh, I didn't expect to go to the Wa Shi border army. We have already reached the destination. We are brothers from now on, so don't be so formal. What's mine is yours, and what's yours is mine." Mao Yaozu laughed.

"Then everything I moved belongs to me." Shi Xunfei said.

"No problem, what's yours is mine. There's no difference between giving it to you and giving it to me." Mao Yaozu's words left Shi Xunfei speechless.

"Be careful not to fall down the stairs."

The wooden boat stations were all in mid-air. When going down the stairs, Shi Xunfei deliberately threw a large object into Mao Yaozu's hand to block his sight.

"Hey, Ah Fei, stop making trouble!"
