If they were on motorcycles, they would catch up with the people in front of them very quickly.

Fortunately, those people only went as far as Qingshan City, and after walking more than fifty miles, they diverged from them.

They walked until noon and encountered no further danger.

Bei Chenyan looked around and pulled on the reins. "It's noon. Let's eat something and rest for a while before we go."

"Come with me." Nangong Wu pulled on the reins and walked into a small grove of trees.

Arriving at an open space, she let the horse graze on its own, took out two bottles of mineral water, tossed one to Bei Chenyan, and said, "Wash your face before dinner."

Bei Chenyan looked at the water bottle and said, "Your Highness, it's such a waste to use such good water to wash your face."

"I'll use it during this emergency." Nangong Wu thought of the supplies she had stored in her space, and it wouldn't be a big deal to waste a little bit now and then.

She still had silicone scar patches on her face, but after washing her hands, she brought the SUV out again and opened the door.

"Come in and rest for a while before eating."

The two sat in the car and stood in the cold wind for half an hour.

Eileen prepared the meal for them and brought it out for them to eat. She also brought out a parasol, a table, two chairs, and a small rechargeable fan.

Bei Chenyan looked at his rapidly spinning little fan and wasn't even surprised anymore.

It felt like Nangong Wu's magic bag was omnipotent, able to produce whatever he wanted, except for things he couldn't even imagine.

After having lunch, the two continued their journey.

For the rest of the journey, depending on the road conditions, we'll drive if we can and enjoy the air conditioning inside; if we can't drive, we'll ride motorcycles; and if we can't ride motorcycles, we'll ride horses.

They walked until nightfall, without deliberately looking for an inn, until they finally found a flat spot to stop at dusk.

The road was difficult to walk today, and I felt more tired than yesterday.

After getting into the RV, Bei Chenyan took out a map to check, "We've traveled about 400 li today."

"So that means it's still more than a thousand li to the border of the Eastern Jin Dynasty?"

"Yes." Bei Chenyan nodded. "And the road we'll be walking tomorrow will be even more difficult."

"We covered nine hundred li in just two days on such a difficult journey, which is already considered quite fast."

Nangong Wu also looked at the map. "Fortunately, you led the way. As long as we don't go astray, we can reach the capital of the Eastern Jin Kingdom within ten days."

After she finished speaking, she stood up and said, "I'm going to take a shower first."

I feel uncomfortable all over and just want to take a good shower.

Bei Chenyan leaned back on the sofa to rest, drinking the tea that Eileen had prepared for him.

I haven't seen my three children for a day, and I wonder how they are doing?

After taking a shower in the space, Nangong Wu helped Beichen Yan prepare a bath and then took out the clothes that had been washed and dried in the washing machine.

These are Bei Chenyan's clothes. I put them in a clothes basket and walked out of the bathroom.

She rarely helps others with laundry, but the situation is special now, so she has to do it herself.

"You should go wash your clothes too. Yesterday's clothes are already washed. Just put the clothes you took off in the washing machine later."

"Thanks." Bei Chenyan stood up.

When he came out after taking a shower, he saw that Eileen and Aiqi had also come out. The three adults were each holding a child, and food was laid out on the table.

"Did Xi'er have any milk today?" He asked first about Nangong Xi's condition.

"Princess Xi is much better than yesterday," Aiqi replied.

"Let me take a look." Bei Chenyan took the child from Ai Qi's arms.

Upon seeing that it was Nangong Jue, he kissed the child's little face and said, "Jue'er, Daddy didn't hold you yesterday."

He also picked up Nangong Yu, holding him in one arm and then the other in the other.

"Were you two good today?"

The two little ones kicked their legs in his arms, and when they heard someone talking, their round eyes looked at him.

"The baby is exactly fifty days old today. Let's finish what we're doing as soon as possible and return to Beijing before they turn 100 so we can hold a 100-day celebration for them."

"We'll see when the time comes!" Nangong Wu was unsure whether she could get everything done within fifty days.

"If we can't hold a 100-day celebration, we'll hold one when they turn one year old."

She has many things to take care of this time.

First, we need to resolve the issues with the Eastern Jin Kingdom, then find the Seven Cloud Lotus, and finally hold a wedding for Li Feng and Li An at the border.

Finally, there's Changyang Temple. The goal is to find Zhou Shaorong and kill him to prevent future troubles.

And his older brother, Nangong Xiao, also needs to be found.

"You've seen your child, so go eat! Get some rest." Aiqi carried Nangong Jue over.

Bei Chenyan also looked at Nangong Xi in Nangong Wu's arms, "Xi'er is so good, Daddy will come and hold you again tomorrow."

He kissed Nangong Yu's little face again and put him in the crib.

Nangong Wu also put Nangong Xi down, and used her mind to send them both into the space.

"Miss Aiqi and Miss Eileen have taken very good care of the three children," Bei Chenyan said.

"Yes, they specifically learned about childcare to take good care of their children." Nangong Wu walked to the table and sat down. "Let's eat and get some rest."

I was disturbed while sleeping last night, so I hope I can sleep peacefully tonight.

Fortunately, nothing happened overnight.

Both of them slept well and were full of energy.

"We killed so many of their people the night before last, so they must either be scared or they've killed all the people who came and can't find us anymore," Bei Chenyan said.

"Adelin said that there are no more than a thousand people in the northern region of the Western Yan Kingdom, and they are not a monolithic group. Not many of them are mixed up with the Serpent Spirit Society."

The Gu worms of the Serpent Spirit Society are useless against us. If they want to deal with us, they can only rely on the people of the Northern Region.

"Every Northerner who dies is one less to be had. We've already killed over a hundred Northerners; they should know they can't afford to mess with us."

Nangong Wu felt that after she and Beichen Yan killed so many people in the Northern Region, and every one of them died, they would still dare to walk into the line of fire. They were truly fools.

After having breakfast, the two set off.

Just as Bei Chenyan had said, the road ahead was not easy at all. It was all rugged mountain roads going up or down, with very few places where cars and motorcycles could be driven. In some places, even horses could not be ridden, and sometimes you had to wade through water.

After climbing mountains and wading through rivers for three more days, on the afternoon of the sixth day after they set out, they finally arrived at the border between the Western Yan Kingdom and the Eastern Jin Kingdom, where a wide river blocked their way.

Nangong Wu and Beichen Yan stood by the river, using binoculars to survey their surroundings. They saw that the river was about two miles wide and the current was very rapid. They could vaguely see people on the opposite bank.

The Li River also marks the boundary between the Western Yan and Eastern Jin states.

This river is a very large river, accounting for two-thirds of the length of the border between the two countries.

This river was not only wide, but also had a rapid current, making it very difficult for the Eastern Jin state to attack from across the river.

Therefore, the northern front was a battleground fought between the two countries, and wars raged there for a century.
