My treasure bowl connects the past and present; I've won everything on my journey into exile.

That evening, they finally arrived at the post station outside Shanluo Town.

At this moment, the dilapidated post station appeared surprisingly good to everyone.

They can finally sleep on a kang (a heated brick bed) and have enough to eat.

Knowing they were out of food, Old Wei told them to go find something to eat as soon as they put down their luggage.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone rushed towards the town, afraid that if they were late, they wouldn't be able to buy any food.

It's only about two miles from the town.

Old Wei didn't bother with them anyway; they wouldn't dare run away, and they couldn't afford the consequences of doing so.

He didn't want to buy anything, and his leg injury made it difficult for him to walk, so he was too lazy to bother.

After asking Xiao Liu to bring him some wine, he prepared to return to his room to rest.

When he turned around and saw that Lin Mo hadn't gone to town, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

It's rare that she didn't go to town.

“Master Wei, you seem quite surprised to see me?” Lin Mo, sitting on a chair by the door, raised an eyebrow at him.

Then he threw an oil paper package at him:

"Jerky, have some to tide you over."

After saying that, he boldly started munching on the jerky in his hand.

This dried meat was prepared by Du Hengbai last night.

tasty.

Old Wei reached out and caught it, then used the stick as a walking stick and slowly walked over to sit down next to her.

He opened it, took out a piece, and started eating it.

"It would be even better if there were some wine," Old Wei sighed.

This is absolutely the best snack to go with drinks.

Lin Mo turned to look at him, "Master Wei, you know how to enjoy yourself."

"Judging from your question, you've finished the wine I gave you yesterday?"

"Isn't it normal to drink it?" Old Wei asked confidently.

"It's so cold, what's wrong with drinking a little more?"

Hmph, once it's given to him, it's his. He likes to finish it all at once, so what?

"What could I possibly say? I wouldn't dare say anything at all," Lin Mo shook her head.

At the same time, he picked up a wine pouch from the side and handed it over:

"Want a couple of sips?"

Old Wei's face immediately turned sour.

He snatched it away, saying, "Didn't you say there was no more alcohol?"

"You must have misheard," Lin Mo said casually.

"I was referring to the type of wine that was out of stock; this is fruit wine."

Old Wei didn't believe her.

He realized that Lin Mo was becoming increasingly dishonest, constantly setting traps for him.

I twisted open the cap and took a sip.

It really is fruit wine.

The fruit flavor is strong, and the wine is very fragrant and mellow. Old Wei is very satisfied; this fruit wine is quite good.

He took two sips before finally twisting the cap shut, clipping the wine flask to his waist, and claiming it as his own.

Lin Mo chuckled, "Master Wei, you really don't hold back."

Old Wei rolled his eyes. After doing all that, don't think he didn't know she had dug a pit for him.

He stretched and said, "So, what kind of trouble are you up to this time?"

Lin Mo shook her head innocently, "No."

Seeing him staring at her, she grinned foolishly.

"No, there's nothing fishy going on. I just wanted to ask you about Bao'an City."

The fiefdom of the King of Luo was located in Bao'an City.

It's only a five-day journey from here to Bao'an City.

Prince Luo, the emperor's younger brother.

Back then, the prince who might have ultimately ascended to the throne was actually Prince Luo.

But the current emperor is clever; he has won over Prince Anping.

With the help of the Prince of Anping, the emperor successfully ascended the throne, while the Prince of Luo could only retreat to the godforsaken city of Bao'an.

As for Prince Anping, this meritorious official who helped the emperor rise to power, he was ultimately discarded after being used and killed, and his family members were also exiled and their property confiscated.

She couldn't understand why Prince Anping would get involved in factional strife.

Previously, the Anping Prince's Mansion faction was always neutral, supporting whoever became emperor and never participating in any factional disputes. Therefore, despite many storms, the Anping Prince's Mansion has remained standing.

Unfortunately……

Therefore, when they pass through Bao'an City, the King of Luo will probably not let them go.

In his previous life, Xu Wuyan was summoned away by the Prince of Luo when he arrived in Bao'an City.

When they returned, they faced a near-death experience.

If it weren't for Miss Murong, his life would probably be in danger.

This is also why she wanted Miss Murong to accompany her.

With her there, Xu Wuyan will definitely be safe.

Old Wei glanced at Lin Mo with some surprise, pondered for a moment, and then shook his head:

“Bao’an City is as impregnable as an iron barrel. Under the rule of the Prince of Luo, the government is clean and efficient, and the people are united. Therefore, if you cause trouble in Bao’an City, you may not be able to leave Bao’an City.”

At this point, Lao Wei's tone became somewhat more serious:

"If you don't want anything to happen, be discreet when passing through Bao'an City, get out of the city as soon as possible, and don't linger."

Lin Mo remained silent.

After a long while, she finally looked up:

"Mr. Wei, could we take a detour?"

As she spoke, she took out a stack of silver notes and handed them over.

If you can take a detour to avoid it, then it's naturally better to take a detour.

"No!" Old Wei refused.

“Bao’an City is the only way to Mo City. However, Bao’an City is surrounded by towering mountains. To take a detour, one must cross these mountains, which is impossible for ordinary people. So it is simply impossible to take a detour.”

Thinking of how they had saved his life, Old Wei's face turned serious:

"Since we know that passing through Bao'an City will cause trouble, we should think of a way to deal with it in advance. King Luo is a man who doesn't play by the rules."

After saying that, he took the jerky and meat and left.

Lin Mo didn't say anything more.

After sitting there for a while, munching on dried meat and thinking, he finally stood up and walked into the house.

At this moment, Liu Ying and the Xu Xianyu sisters had already cleaned the kang (a heated brick bed).

Moreover, the kang (heated brick bed) had already been lit, making the room much warmer than the outside.

Xu Wuyan and his two wounded men sat idly to the side.

Murong and Granny Qin were not there; they had gone to town to buy food.

This area is convenient because it's close to both the village and the town, making shopping easy.

So when Lin Mo saw that they wanted to go, she didn't stop them, but just told Xu Ping'an to protect them.

"Madam, please sit down."

Xu Wuyan patted the spot next to him, gesturing for her to sit down.

Lin Mo glanced at him and sat down.

Looking around, the people who remained were busy tidying up their lodgings for the night, and no one paid any attention to them.

Before Xu Wuyan could speak, Lin Mo spoke first:

"We're almost at Bao'an City. What are your plans? Prince Luo... is no pushover."

Xu Wuyan knew she was intelligent.

He shook his head at her, "Don't worry, I have a plan."

Lin Mo glanced at him, intending to speak, but then swallowed her words and turned her head away.

"You... never mind, you can handle it yourself."

Worrying now is useless.

No one knew how the Prince of Luo would make things difficult for him, and there was no way to prepare in advance.

In his previous life, when he passed through Bao'an City, the King of Luo summoned him.

The next day, when he was brought back to his unit, he was covered in wounds and on the verge of death.

And it was during that time that he spent almost the entire time recuperating from his injuries in Mocheng.

When he died in his previous life, he looked frail and weak.

You can see how serious the injury is.

This time, he was still injured. If he suffered another injury as severe as in his previous life...

I'm afraid they won't live to make it to Mocheng.

Lin Mo pursed her lips, her face serious.

She had already decided that if the King of Luo wanted to see her, she would definitely go with him.

If he doesn't allow it, then she'll hide in the space and follow him.

If necessary, even if it means resorting to trickery, you must save his life.

Just as she was lost in thought, Xu Wuyan reached out and grabbed her hand:

"Don't be afraid, everything will be alright."

Lin Mo was taken aback, and just as she was about to pull her hand away, Murong excitedly ran back.

"Lin Mo, look what delicious food I brought back for you."

"Look, it's candied hawthorn!"

She presented the candied hawthorn to Lin Mo as if it were a precious treasure.

Upon seeing Xu Wuyan's hand grab Lin Mo's, she immediately and without hesitation pulled Xu Wuyan's hand away, then, ignoring Xu Wuyan's dark expression, smiled and stuffed the candied hawthorn into Lin Mo's hand:

"Here you go, this is the last skewer left, I specially snatched it back for you to eat."

Xu Wuyan's face was very sour.

The more I looked at Murong, the more I disliked him. How could he be so attentive to his wife?

I didn't know she was married. Should I keep my distance?

An unnatural look flashed across Lin Mo's face; she sensed something was amiss.

Seeing that Lin Mo hadn't eaten, Murong raised an eyebrow:

"Lin Mo, hurry up and eat! I heard from Aunt Ying that you love hawthorn the most."

"Let me tell you, these sour hawthorns taste completely different when coated in syrup. You should try them!"

Seeing Murong looking at her expectantly, Lin Mo took a bite out of embarrassment.

The next second, her eyes lit up.

The crispness and sweetness of the syrup neutralized the sourness of the hawthorn, resulting in a surprisingly delicious taste.

She looked at Murong and nodded vigorously:

"good to eat!"

She couldn't resist taking another bite, leaving four. She gave one to her mother and Xu Xianyu, and the last one to Lin Shuo.

Seeing that she liked it, Murong couldn't help but feel regretful:

"If I had gone earlier, I could have bought you more."

Lin Mo shook her head, her face serious. "It's already good enough that I can taste it. Thank you, Miss Murong!"

"It's nothing, why are you thanking me?" Murong's lips curled slightly.

"What's our relationship? You don't need to be so formal with me, after all..."

"Be more polite!" Xu Wuyan interrupted him expressionlessly, staring straight at him.

"Murong, what do you think?"

Lin Mo's eyes darkened. Did Xu Wuyan want her to maintain a relationship with Miss Murong?

Seeing them staring at each other, I couldn't help but whisper...

"You don't need to argue because of me, I..."

"Madam," Xu Wuyan interrupted her, seeing her looking at him with a wronged expression.

"I'm sorry, I'm useless. I can't even fulfill your simple wish of eating candied hawthorns."

Lin Mo, “…”

Is there something wrong with his expression?

Shouldn't Xu Wuyan be jealous?

Is she jealous that Murong treats her too well and that she's neglecting him?
