The Empress of Ten Reincarnations Just to Find Me

The three of them were walking, worrying about where to spend the night. The sky around them was getting darker and darker, and the night was gradually enveloping them. The chill was getting stronger with the night.

Just then, the faint sound of rolling wheels reached their ears.

Chen Han and the others stopped in their tracks. Chen Han frowned slightly and looked in the direction where the sound of the wheels came from. After a moment's thought, he said,

"Why don't you go take a look?"

When Chen Yue heard this, he turned his head away.

"I have no objection, but..." She subconsciously took a few steps back, crossed her arms, and continued proudly, "I have legs! Don't move me around like you did just now, humph!"

After hearing this, Chen Han couldn't help but glance at her and said unhappily, "Who cares? It's so heavy. I'm saving my energy." After that, he raised his leg and walked towards the direction of the sound of wheels.

Xiao Mengyue looked at Chen Han, then at Chen Yue, then giggled and trotted to catch up with Chen Han, shouting, "Brother, wait for me."

Seeing this, Chen Yue could only stamp his feet and quickly follow.

Soon, the sound of wheels was getting closer and closer, and in the hazy night, the outline of a convoy gradually became clear.

I saw a line of horse-drawn carriages moving slowly forward. Each carriage was pulling some bulging sacks, and no one knew what was inside. The coachmen sat quietly at the front of the carriages, concentrating on driving the car.

Chen Han thought for a moment, then took a deep breath, took a few steps forward, and politely greeted the driver closest to him.

"Hello, big brother! You're still on the road so late. You must be very tired."

The driver turned around and looked at Chen Han. Seeing that although he looked tired, his eyes were sincere, he politely responded, "Alas, there's nothing we can do. We have to get to the next town before nightfall, otherwise the goods will be delayed. What are you doing?"

Chen Han quickly said with a smile.

"We were just passing through here and were looking for a place to stay for the night, but it's hard to find one in this wilderness. Seeing that your caravan is quite lively, we were wondering if you could be kind enough to let us stay with the caravan for a night. We can also help with some work and we won't cause any trouble to you."

After hearing this, the driver frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then looked embarrassed.

"I can't make the decision on this matter. I have to ask the leader of our team. But you guys look pretty pitiful, with nowhere to stay late at night. I'll go ask for you."

Chen Han quickly thanked him, "Thank you so much, big brother. Thank you for taking the trouble to make this trip."

After a while, the driver came back and said to Chen Han, "Our boss said that since we are all in a hurry and it's not easy to be away from home, we will let you follow. But you must follow the rules and don't run around or touch anything on the cart."

Upon hearing this, Chen Han's face lit up with joy, and he quickly responded, "Of course, of course. Thank you so much, Boss. We will definitely behave ourselves and not cause any trouble for anyone."

At night, the convoy stopped in a relatively open and safe place. Everyone gathered in front of a blazing bonfire, the warm firelight shining on everyone's face, dispelling some of the night's chill.

Chen Han looked at the drivers around him who were taking a break after a busy day. His curiosity grew stronger, so he asked:

"You're not cultivators at night, so how dare you walk in this deep forest? Aren't you afraid of encountering ferocious monsters?"

The bearded, sturdy leader in the convoy laughed loudly when he heard Chen Han's question.

"You don't know this, young man? We're a professional fleet that's been transporting goods in this area for years. We're very familiar with the conditions in this forest."

As he spoke, he poked the campfire with the branch in his hand, and sparks flew up.

"We've long since figured out the favorite spots for magical beasts in this forest, and we've made a point of avoiding those dangerous areas whenever we're on the road. Furthermore, our team has some tricks up their sleeves to deal with the beasts. While they're not as powerful as cultivators, they're enough to keep us safe in this forest."

Besides, we've all been taking care of each other along the way, so if we do encounter any emergencies, we can handle it together."

After hearing what the boss said, the drivers around nodded in agreement, with a look of pride on their faces.

Chen Yue and Xiao Mengyue were also listening with great interest, and Xiao Mengyue even opened her big round eyes.

After hearing what the bearded man said, Chen Han smiled even more and spoke with some gratitude.

"Haha, I see. Big brother, you guys are really amazing. You know the ins and outs of this forest so well. I'd be grateful if you could lead the way."

The bearded leader heard this and waved his hand generously, saying loudly, "Hey, that's no problem! When we're out and about, it's only natural for us to help each other. Just follow the convoy. As long as you follow the rules and don't cause any trouble, I guarantee we'll get you out of this forest safely."

After saying that, he picked up a thick branch and added it to the campfire to make the fire burn even more vigorously. The bright flames illuminated everyone, and the atmosphere became more and more lively.

The bearded man was adding branches to the bonfire, making it burn brighter. The red flames warmed everyone's faces. He seemed to suddenly remember something, turned around and looked at Chen Han and the others, grinning.

"By the way, how did you two end up in this forest? And you brought a little kid with you, that's really outrageous."

When Chen Han and Chen Yue heard this, they were immediately embarrassed and stood there in a daze. Xiao Mengyue's expression was even weirder.

Chen Han quickly lowered his head and waved his hands.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm so sorry, big brother. This is my friend Chenyue, and that lovely girl is my sister Mengyue. We were just walking through this forest together, it's not what you think."

After listening to Chen Han and Chen Yue’s explanation, the bearded man suddenly understood. He slapped his thigh and laughed.

"Oh, I was wondering, how could you have a child at such a young age? Blame me, blame me!"

After saying that, he scratched his messy hair embarrassedly, with a somewhat apologetic and silly smile on his face.

They chatted for a while about the various interesting things in the forest, their laughter echoing in the night air, and the atmosphere was particularly harmonious. As time passed, sleepiness began to creep over them.

Seeing this, Chen Han took the initiative to propose.

"Brother, everyone's exhausted after a long day, let's all get some rest. I'll be on guard tonight so everyone can get a good night's sleep."

After hearing this, the bearded man felt warm in his heart. He knew that Chen Han was grateful and wanted to contribute to the team.

So he didn't refuse, but nodded with a smile and said, "Haha, that's fine. Thank you for your hard work, my friend. But it's hard to keep watch alone in this long night. I'll ask someone to accompany you."

After saying that, the bearded man called out to a young coachman nearby, "Little Li, you're keeping watch with this young man today, so be alert. If you hear anything, call everyone immediately."

The driver named Xiao Lizi responded, stood up, dusted off the dust on his body, and walked to Chen Han.

Late at night, everything was so quiet that only the occasional crackling of the burning campfire could be heard.

Chen Han found a place near the edge of the convoy with a wide view, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and concentrated.

The energy in his body was flowing slowly. He had just experienced a fierce battle with the monsters and had been running around for a long time. He was now taking advantage of this rare quiet moment to recover his energy. At the same time, he was carefully stabilizing the two energy with different attributes in his body so that they could coexist more harmoniously.

This will also allow you to be in the best condition at all times and deal with any emergencies that may arise.

At this moment, Ming Jie's familiar voice rang out in Chen Han's mind: "The world of ordinary people is indeed cleaner than the world of us cultivators."

Chen Han also nodded slightly, and couldn't help but think of what happened to him before.

But not long after, Mingjie became alert.

"Strange, why is there such an aura outside?"

Chen Han also opened his eyes at this time and asked in a low voice, "Sister Mirror, what's wrong?"

"Be careful. The situation outside the forest is so chaotic right now. It must be related to some unexpected events outside."

At this time, Chen Hanjin had joined the Yuan army, and his perception naturally increased a little, and he felt more and more weird.

He stood up cautiously, "Sister Mirror, what on earth is this aura? It doesn't look like a human or a monster..."
