Wow, this rough-around-the-edges pregnant wife is something else, she's incredibly ruthless!

Walking along the chaotic and foul-smelling official road, one can vaguely see several piles of white bones.

Although the surroundings were full of springtime beauty, and you could even see a few wild rabbits running out of the forest, for some reason it still felt very desolate.

Covering his mouth and nose with a clean handkerchief, Lu Chuan walked at the front, holding a machete, followed by Meng Tong, Sheng Zhuzhu, Cheng Mian, Sheng Xiu, and Sheng Yu.

Although it's just a mountain away, the situation outside is like hell, with no warmth to be felt.

Even though the sun is shining brightly now, everywhere looks desolate and dilapidated.

On the official road, which is neither too wide nor too narrow, you can see several skeletons every few hundred meters, and sometimes you can even tell whether they are children or women.

I can't imagine what happened along the way a year ago today.

Laoshan Town belongs to Fucheng and is the southernmost point of its jurisdiction. The distance between the two is 500 li. Some people in Laoshan Town have never been to such a far place in their lives.

Lu Chuan has only been there once.

Following the direction they remembered, the six of them walked straight ahead, shielding their sight and sense of smell.

After walking for about three more hours, the air around them became much cleaner and fresher. They took out the handkerchiefs they had wrapped around their faces and found a flat, shady spot to sit down.

"Here you go, have some water and a meat pie."

Meng Tong took out the warm meat patties and water from the space and handed them over one by one.

Wow! It's still hot!

Eat more and talk less.

"Oh!"

Having been scolded by Sheng Yu several times that day, Sheng Zhuzhu no longer dared to provoke him. She sat down next to Cheng Mian, and the couple slowly ate their meat pies.

It was fresh and delicious, and the meat inside was fragrant and tasty. Everyone ate three before they stopped.

Ignoring his image, Lu Chuan licked the grease off his fingertips, then took out a water bottle from his basket and drank it down.

His sexy Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and a fine layer of sweat appeared on the man's body.

Sitting to the side, Meng Tong couldn't stand it anymore and handed him a handkerchief from her sleeve, saying, "Drink slowly, no one's going to take it from you. Here, wipe the sweat off your face."

"Thank you, Madam."

The man took the towel and first wiped Meng Tong's sweat before wiping his own forehead.

The sight of this loving couple made several people's teeth ache with envy, but they were also quite happy inside.

After eating more watermelon and resting for fifteen minutes, Sheng Yu made a suggestion.

"Walking like this is too slow, why don't I lead the way?"

"Are you sure you can manage five people?" Sheng Xiu asked with a skeptical look.

Sheng Yu was indeed very fast, but he only had two hands. If he held one person in each hand, what about the other three?

We can't exactly be begging for help!

Sheng Yu: It's not impossible.

Seeing that they had finally raised this question, Meng Tong went along with it.

The woman glanced at Lu Chuan, then looked at everyone and said, "I have a way to get to Fucheng quickly, and tonight."

"..."

The four remained silent, clearly in disbelief.

After all, the fastest speed they had ever seen was Sheng Yu.

Meng Tong suddenly came out and said she had a better idea, and Sheng Xiu immediately thought of the scene he had witnessed earlier that day.

If that's the case, it doesn't seem impossible.

"What method is your sister-in-law referring to?"

"so."

Using her supernatural abilities, Meng Tong conjured a "green carpet" in a few seconds and gestured for Lu Chuan to sit on it.

Then a green shadow flew up and Lu Chuan disappeared without a trace.

Sheng Zhuzhu: Where's my brother! My big little brother... is gone.

They could hardly believe what they were seeing; even Sheng Xiu found it unbelievable.

They've finally seen what true humility means.

To their surprise, Lu Chuan returned looking refreshed and radiant, calmly and composedly stepping off the "green carpet."

The look in his eyes as he looked at Sheng Yu and the others carried a hint of provocation.

"Is this speed acceptable?" Meng Tong asked.

"Ok, Ok."

"Quick, I want to go up and try."

"Won't it fall down, will it?"

Excited and expectant, the four carefully stepped onto the "green carpet".

Meng Tong smirked and sat down as well.

"Hold on tight, we're about to set off."

"Yay! Let's go!"

Nestled in Cheng Mian's arms, Sheng Zhuzhu was incredibly excited, her big eyes sparkling.

The man was careful around her waist, afraid that she would fall if she made a sudden movement.

Seeing that everyone was seated, Meng Tong simply raised his hand slightly, and instantly the "green carpet" flew towards Fucheng.

It's practically like an ancient version of an open-air airplane.

As evening light painted the sky with a golden hue, the six of them, sitting on the "green carpet," arrived in Fucheng in less than an hour.

As night fell, Sheng Zhuzhu reluctantly stepped off the "green carpet." The six of them looked up at the flickering firelight in the distance and then strode over.

When we arrived at the city gate of Fucheng, it was much better than we had imagined.

There were at least two soldiers still standing guard at the city gate.

"Who are you?"

A tall man, dressed in a suit of cold, hard armor, asked angrily.

He was holding a spear in his hand, which looked quite new.

Meng Tong guessed that these people had only been there a short time, but they seemed to have a lot of presence.

I wonder which other subordinate in the Great Wei Kingdom has such an imposing presence.

Stepping back two steps to let Lu Chuan step forward, Meng Tong and Sheng Zhuzhu were blocked behind by four men.

Sheng Yu said unhurriedly, "We are villagers from nearby. We had been hiding in the mountains for a while, but recently we saw firelight and figures in the city, so we came to take a look."

Are you sure you're villagers?

The gatekeeper wasn't stupid; by the firelight, he could see what they were wearing.

The fabric wasn't the best quality, but it was still quite good, and the four of them had extraordinary bearing and striking looks.

Although the faces of the other two women were not clearly visible, their figures suggested that they were not women that ordinary farmers could afford to raise.

An impatience flashed between his brows, and the two guards became alert, their spears pointing directly at Sheng Yu.

"I'll ask you one more time: who are you? Fucheng has been approved by His Majesty as the fiefdom of Prince Zhou. If you do not tell us the truth, we will kill you without mercy."

"Prince Zhou?"

Sheng Xiu frowned, and the image of this so-called Prince Zhou Yan flashed through his mind. He was the only prince of a different surname in the entire Great Wei Kingdom.

His mother was the current emperor's older sister, but she died after giving birth to him.

But wasn't the Zhou family's fiefdom in the northern border? Why did they suddenly come to Fucheng?

The air seemed to freeze; Lu Chuan and his three companions didn't want to actually make a move.

After thinking for a moment, Sheng Xiu said, "To be honest, we are actually merchants passing through this place. We saw that there were people living here, so we thought we would come and ask if we could go into the city to find an inn to rest for the night."

Sheng Xiu deliberately used the difficult dialect of Dawn Island, and the guard, still somewhat doubtful, asked again, "What goods do you sell?"

With a slight glance from the darkness, Meng Tong spotted a dark figure on the city wall.

A thought flashed through her mind, and she stepped forward, stepping past the four people, and said, "Food."
