"Okay, you go to sleep. I'll go with you. I'll call you if anything happens."

Du Mingxian put her hand on Ling Silang's shoulder and went into the space to sleep. This was equivalent to her attaching herself to him. As long as he moved, she could come out of the space and be in the same position as before, which was quite convenient.

When Meimei woke up from her nap, she found Ling Silang dozing off in the woods.

She flashed out of the space, "What's going on?"

Ling Silang immediately opened his eyes, his gaze clear. "We've been walking all night, but not very far. They're resting now, so I doubt they'll be traveling any further this morning."

How many miles did you travel?

"Four li."

Du Mingxian was surprised. This was too strange. The team was full of men, strong and capable men, and now they were saying they couldn't walk anymore. They only walked four miles in one night.

“There’s obviously something fishy going on. Should we still follow?” She felt that the group was deliberately stalling.

Ling Silang was certain, "Follow them, follow them and see what they're up to."

"Alright, you go in and go to sleep, I'll stay with you."

Ling Silang did not refuse this matter and asked Du Mingxian to send him into the space.

Du Mingxian kept watch alone. The temperature outside wasn't as comfortable as inside the space, so she went directly into the space and kept watch from there.

These people didn't move all morning. It wasn't until the afternoon that some of them slowly started preparing food, not at all in a hurry. By the time they ate, it was already afternoon, and by the time they finished cleaning up, it was almost dark.

Only then did they begin to move, preparing to leave.

Ling Silang, who had slept all day, woke up and spoke in the space, at which point Du Mingxian hurriedly went in.

"So, where have they gotten to?"

“You slept all day, and they slept all day too. They didn’t move. They were just about to leave when you woke up.”

Ling Silang frowned. "This is too strange. I even went to check the ruts on those carriages. They weren't very deep, which means the load on them wasn't very heavy. It's not that they couldn't move. In this situation, they were moving slowly at night. It's not that they couldn't move, but that they weren't in a hurry."

Why aren't you in a hurry to leave tonight?

This is so contradictory.

“There’s something fishy going on. Do you think these people might not be Prince Ming’s men, or they could be people from other places?”

Ling Silang waved his hand, "No, these are Prince Ming's men. If someone leaves the city at night, and it's such a large group, Prince Ming must know. No one would dare to disobey like this. Besides, Prince Ming is quite capable; he's not someone who can't be manipulated."

Du Mingxian couldn't understand, "If that's the case, then why are these people acting like this after they come out? It's too strange."

"That's strange, I'm afraid this is just a smokescreen."

Sure enough, that very night, Ling Silang followed those people and started walking again, for another four miles.

For several days in a row, Du Mingxian slept at night and followed him during the day, while Ling Silang slept during the day and followed him at night. Six days passed in total. Seeing that the time Du Mingxian had agreed to meet with Xiang Yang and the others was approaching, these people hurried back to the city as quickly as possible.

If Du Mingxian hadn't been following behind the group, she would have thought it was something important.

As they entered the city with the group, Du Mingxian breathed a long sigh of relief. "Finally, we can enter the city. I wonder if Xiangyang and the others have entered yet."

"Just go find them as agreed. I'll follow that group first and see which prefecture they belong to."

Du Mingxian was a little worried. "Why don't we go together? There's no rush for me to go find Xiangyang. Our appointment with them is tomorrow, not today."

"Let's split up. You should go. I can go by myself. You have to trust me."

Having said that, what could Du Mingxian say? She could only silently shut her mouth. "Alright, I'll believe you then. I'll go find Xiangyang and the others, and then I'll come find you."

"No need. When I first entered the city, I saw a Yuelai Inn not far from the main street. You can wait for me there. If I finish here early, I will also wait for you there."

"Okay, that's for the best." It will save everyone from having to look for each other and getting lost.

After they finished talking, they parted ways. Du Mingxian went to find Xiang Yang and the others. They agreed to go to the first teahouse after entering the city gate. Firstly, teahouses are mostly used for gathering information, so sitting there would not arouse suspicion. Secondly, it would be more convenient.

Du Mingxian and the others split into several groups. When Du Mingxian arrived, she saw Qiu Shu and Xia Yu, but the others had not yet arrived.

Qiu Shu and Xia Yu were very happy to see Du Mingxian arrive.

"Let's go to the inn. Once everything is arranged, you two will wait for the others in the teahouse and gather information from behind."

"Yes."

Du Mingxian wondered if Ling Silang's place was safe or not.

Ling Silang hadn't returned to the inn yet, and he was getting impatient, so he went out to look for her. Luckily, he found her soon enough. Ling Silang was sitting by the roadside eating noodles and was very happy to see Du Mingxian.

"Have they not arrived yet?"

"Qiu Shu and Xia Yu have arrived, but the others haven't arrived yet. I told them to wait for the others because I was a little worried about you, so I came to check on you."

Ling Silang was deeply moved. "Thank you, my wife still loves me the most."

The two then left a letter for Qiu Shu and the others, and continued their surveillance.

This group was extremely strange. They went out several times in a row, and each time they went out, they would walk four miles at night, rest during the day, and continue walking at night. They had walked through all four city gates. Du Mingxian thought they were finally going back to report, but who knew that they would start again.

These past few days have been exhausting for Du Mingxian, and she doesn't know why she always feels tired.

“I think they’re just deliberately playing around with people. How can they do that? They don’t pick up or give you anything, they just go out for a stroll and come back, and then they continue on their way. It’s really strange.”

Ling Silang agreed, "There are two options now. One is to stop following them and investigate other things."
