Traveling through ancient times: living a different life

After more than a month's long journey, the fifth prince Jiang Shaoxuan finally escorted food and supplies into Shangyou City, accompanied by soldiers conscripted from various counties across the country.

All these people were to be sent to the front line, which is now the Red Sand City.

The Fifth Prince caught a cold on the way and took the pills he brought with him, but they had little effect. Perhaps it was because he had been traveling for a long time and had not had enough rest, his condition recurred and he had to stop in Shangyou City for treatment.

County Magistrate Ding Quanwei had been in office for only half a month. When he learned that His Highness had stopped here for treatment, he found a relatively secluded house in the county town for him to live in and recuperate. It was called "Zhaoxia Garden".

The famous Doctor Ye from the county town was invited to treat him, but now he can only stay in Shangyou City to receive treatment.

But Jiang Shaoxuan was worried about Han Luochen. He hadn't seen him for several years and would soon see his good friend. Now he could not follow the soldiers who were delivering supplies to Hongsha City. He could only ask the team delivering food and grass to tell Luochen that he was receiving treatment in Shangyou City and he would visit him after he recovered.

When this batch of soldiers and supplies were delivered to Hongsha City, the messenger found Han Luochen, and he learned that Jiang Shaoxuan had arrived in Shangyou City, but he was unable to come because of illness treatment there, so he wanted to visit him, so he came to the medical school and found Biyue who was busy.

She saw Luo Chen coming and asked him with a smile, "Why are you here at this time today? Is there something wrong?"

He said to Biyue gently, "Yue'er, come with me for a moment. I want to tell you something."

"What's going on? You're so mysterious."

The two of them came to a deserted place, and then he said to her, "Yue'er is really smart. I want to ask you for help with something. My good friend Jiang Shaoxuan is here. He caught a cold on the way and is now in Shangyou City for treatment. He came all the way from the capital to see me. We haven't seen each other for several years. We are good friends who grew up together and are also related by blood. Can you accompany me to see him there?

If I go there on horseback, it may take three or four days to get there, but with Yue'er's Pegasus carriage or flying carpet, I can get there quickly."

"What's the matter? Your good friend is here. You've been missing for a few years. He must be worried about you, so he came from the capital to see you. Unfortunately, he got sick. I can definitely understand your feelings of wanting to see him. Once everything is arranged here, I will accompany you there."

"Thank you, Yue'er. I knew you could understand my feelings and agree to go with me. That's great."

When they returned to the General's Mansion at night, Bi Yue said to Xiao Mai and Chen Chun, "Tomorrow Luo Chen and I will go to Shangyou City. Xiao Mai will go with us, and Chen Chun will stay here. We will be back in about two days."

"Okay, miss." Chen Chun also knew that it was inconvenient to go with so many people.

"You two should get some rest early."

At night, Chen Chun quietly went to find Chen Chen, "My lord, the master is going to Shangyou City tomorrow. She asked me to stay and bring Sister Xiaomai to accompany her. I came to tell you something."

"You did a great job. Next time, tell me where the master is going. You are his personal maid now, so you can know her whereabouts immediately. This way, I can be with the master at any time."

"Understood, Your Majesty."

On a March morning, the sky gradually changes from azure blue to warm orange. The sunlight at six or seven o'clock gently sprinkles on the earth, bringing hope and vitality for a new day.

It seems that today is a good day. Bi Yue got up very early today, and the two maids also got up early to serve the young lady.

Chen Chen came to Bi Yue's courtyard. When she saw him, she asked, "Are you going to Shangyou City with us today?"

"Yes, Master, I will go wherever you go."

"Okay." Blame me for being too talkative, knowing that he was just like a follower.

After Luo Chen came, Bi Yue took out the box from her arms, opened the lid, and a carriage jumped out of it by itself, landed on the open space in the yard, and then slowly became bigger. The four of them got on the carriage, and after they sat down, the Pegasus carriage slowly flew into the sky and turned on the protective shield.

Bi Yue knew that the three of them had not had breakfast yet, so she took out milk tea, bread, porridge, buns, meat patties, etc. from the locker and placed them on the table in the carriage.

The three of them didn't hesitate and sat up to enjoy the delicious breakfast, eating while looking at the scenery outside the window. Everyone was extremely comfortable.

Bi Yue looked at the Pegasus in front of her and said to the three people casually, "I think the flying speed of the Pegasus carriage and the flying carpet is about the same." Chen Chen immediately said, "The Pegasus carriage is more comfortable to sit in than the flying carpet."

The other two also agreed with what he said.

"Hey, you guys are really stupid. You're getting bored with the old and falling for the new. You don't like flying carpets? It's good enough to have a ride on them. If you were to ride on horses, you'd have to scrape your buttocks and the insides of your legs before you could reach your destination."

"Master, don't get me wrong. The three of us said that if we could choose, of course we would choose the Pegasus carriage. It's beautiful and cool."

“Hahahaha…!” all three of them laughed.

Two hours later, Shangyou City could be seen from afar.

Bi Yue used her spiritual sense to let the system scan outside the county town first to see if there were any strangers near the woods. 0025 replied in her mind that it was very safe here.

The Pegasus carriage stopped in an open forest ten miles outside the city.

Then he put the Pegasus carriage into a small wooden box, and took out Zhui Ri's carriage from the treasure bag. After the three of them got on, Chen Chen sat in the front and drove the carriage into the city. He first went to the county government to inquire where the fifth prince lived.

After the carriage stopped at the gate of the county government office, the four men got off. Luo Chen walked up to the yamen runner at the gate, took out his token from his arms, handed it to the runner, and told him that he came to see the county magistrate. He took a look at the token and immediately said to the four men, "General, wait a moment. I'll go in and report it." After that, he ran in.

After a while, the yamen runner came out, followed by a young man in his 30s. When he saw the people coming to see him, he greeted them warmly, "You have come from afar, please come to the back hall to chat."

Everyone followed the county magistrate to the hall at the back. After they sat down, the county magistrate introduced himself, "I have only been in Shangyou City for less than a month. You can call me Ding Quanwei. I wonder what the general wants to see me about."

Luo Chen said to the county magistrate, "You are too polite, County Magistrate Ding. We came here today to ask you about the Fifth Prince. He sent a message to Hongsha City asking us to come and see him. We took a carriage for two days and just arrived today. I wonder if Lord Ding knows where the Fifth Prince lives now?"

"Oh, are you guys here specially to see the Fifth Prince?"

"Could it be that Magistrate Ding doesn't know or doesn't want to say it?"

"General Han, you misunderstood. The Fifth Prince now lives in a courtyard called Chaoxia Garden in the east of the city. There are 100 guards guarding him. If you want to go there now, I will lead the way for you. It will only take an incense stick of time to drive the carriage there."

"Then let's go now. Magistrate Ding will lead the way. Our carriage will be at the gate of the county government office."

Several people came out from the back hall and arrived at the gate of the county government office. Five of them got on a carriage and drove towards the east city. After two quarters of an hour, they stopped at the gate of a courtyard. The five people got off the carriage and saw that it was "Chaoxia Garden" written on the gate.
