After all, they came out to look for someone. In this desolate wilderness, it would be difficult to even encounter anyone, let alone find someone.

Given their current identities, they knew they wouldn't be out for long before being found. After all, neither of them was a simple person, and it was only a matter of time before they were discovered.

What they need to do now is to leave some clues before they are found and taken back, so that Cheng Ying can contact them later.

With Cheng Ying's abilities, even if they try to contact them from within the palace, it shouldn't be difficult for her!

The journey was not smooth, and there were rugged mountain paths from time to time. After walking for a while, when the road became a little smoother, a checkpoint suddenly appeared ahead, where several soldiers were checking passers-by.

Ye Jinxuan asked Ye Wuhen, "What do we do now?"

Ye Wuhen, however, remained calm and pulled him forward!

Ye Jinxuan couldn't help but exclaim, "Hey, Uncle, are we just going to go like this?"

Ye Wuhen whispered, "Don't speak, just follow me!"

The two walked up to the soldiers, who looked them over and were about to ask questions when Ye Wuhen suddenly took out a jade pendant from his pocket. The pendant was engraved with the national emblem that symbolized the royal family and was a pattern that only the royal family could use. Upon seeing it, the soldiers immediately let them pass respectfully.

"Uncle, what about this jade pendant?" Ye Jinxuan asked curiously.

"This jade pendant has been with me since birth; it's my keepsake," Ye Wuhen explained with a smile.

Ye Jinxuan was startled. "Then if you produce your token now, won't the palace know we're here?"

Ye Wuhen winked and whispered, "It's alright. We just need to leave clues before they come looking for us. That should be enough time. Even if I don't use the token, I'm sure my brother has already arranged for guards to protect us."

Ye Jinxuan's eyes widened instantly, and he muttered under his breath, "No way? Could it be that we were already under Father's control from the very beginning!"

"You guessed right. Although my superpower is less than 10% of what it used to be, I can still sense that someone has been following us ever since we left the capital!"

Ye Jinxuan never dared to underestimate the abilities of others, but this emperor was, after all, an ancient person from a thousand years later. He was a master of power politics and probably had hundreds of schemes in his mind. He really couldn't outmaneuver him!

Shortly after passing the checkpoint, a small town came into view. The two quickened their pace and entered the town, hoping to find out about the other people and also to find a place to settle down. After all, they had been traveling for a long time and desperately needed to rest.

Now, let's talk about Cheng Ying and her group. Cheng Ying told Lin Zeyang about the bandits on the road to Xuan Yue City, and Lin Zeyang took the matter very seriously.

After contacting several classmates, Lin Zeyang mentioned that there might be bandits along the way, so the group decided to hire several bodyguards.

After all, changing the route is not realistic. Now we can only take a gamble and hire more bodyguards to keep things in order. With the addition of the servants from each family, the number should be about right!

Fortunately, these classmates all came from families with some assets, otherwise they would not have been able to afford to go to school. In particular, three of them were wealthy families in Wutong Town and other places.

With so many people gathered together, there were probably seventy or eighty people if you counted carefully, and the scene was quite spectacular.

Before they left, Cheng Ying had the robot build a travel vehicle for the family of three in the space. To fit the ancient era, a horse-drawn carriage was specially made.

What makes this carriage special is that it has two levels, with the upper level being a place for resting and sleeping, allowing all three of them to rest together at the same time.

There are also small windows for ventilation, so it doesn't feel stuffy at all. In order to get a good night's sleep, she also installed a small air conditioner between the upper and lower floors, so it can be cool whether she is resting upstairs or downstairs.

In addition to the regular seating, the lower level also features a simple small table where you can chat, drink tea, or have a meal.

The most iconic feature of this vehicle is its horse, which is a modified mechanical horse, though this is not apparent to outsiders.

Cheng Ying used a robotic horse to pull the carriage because the rear carriage was too heavy for a regular horse-drawn carriage to move. The advantage of the robotic horse was that it could move forward automatically without human intervention.

Cheng Ying also found a robot that was both scholarly and martial. It looked like a middle-aged man and sat in front driving the carriage. Their family had the fewest members, but their fighting strength was definitely no less than any other family.

This provides double protection. To outsiders, the only unusual thing about their vehicles is their unique carriages, and the situation of their tricycles being blocked like last time will not occur again.

When they met up with Lin Zeyang's classmates, many people noticed the special features of their train carriage.

As soon as they arrived, several classmates went together to the Lin family's carriage to take a look.

"Brother Zeyang, have you made all the arrangements at home?"

Lin Ziyang cupped his hands and said, "It's almost ready. We can set off anytime!"

"Brother Zeyang's carriage is quite special!"
