With a warehouse full of supplies, I stood alone as king in this chaotic world, gun in hand.

Adlin stood up, bowed again, and said, "Then we'll take our leave!"

Nangong Wuwei nodded slightly. "Tomorrow morning at Chenshi (7-9 AM), you should wait for me at the helicopter."

Now that things have come to this, she no longer needs to hide her helicopter; it's parked in an open area, making it easy to drive away at any time.

"We understand!"

Adeline responded and led his men out.

After they left, Nangong Wu went to the construction site of the inner city wall and took out all the building materials in the surrounding space.

After finishing these tasks, she went back to her room to rest.

The next morning, Nangong Wu got up and got ready. She first said goodbye to Nangong Xiao, and then took Li Shuang to where the helicopter was parked.

A total of twenty-three people from the Northern Regions came, each carrying a large bundle on their back, with swords and knives also on their backs.

Many of the Flying Feather Guards and people from the Prince's Mansion came to see them off when they heard they were leaving, including Qiao Xiangqing.

"Fifth Sister-in-law, I heard you're going to take Adeline and the others home. I'd like to go with you to see them off, is that alright?" Qiao Xiangqing ran over and took her arm.

Nangong Wu felt a little awkward upon hearing her address that way. "Okay, let's go!"

She took out the remote key and opened the cabin door. "Get on!"

"Goodbye, Adeline!"

Have a safe journey!

Those who came to see them off waved goodbye.

The helicopter slowly rose and flew northwest.

Nangong Wu looked at the compass and flew northwest until she was almost out of fuel before stopping.

They got the plane into space, had Eileen help refuel it, and then went to ask someone for directions.

Adeline opened the map and stopped at each place, drawing a circle on the map with a pen.

At noon, they flew over the Western Yan Kingdom and entered the Northern Di Kingdom, continuing northwest.

As evening approached and it was getting late, Nangong Wu found a place to park the plane and decided to spend the night there.

It's still quite cold here, so everyone is taking out their clothes to wear.

Qiao Xiangqing looked around. "This area is sparsely populated and has few trees. Are we almost in the desert?"

"It's still early!" Adeline came over and told her, "The Northern Di Kingdom is vast and sparsely populated, with barren land. Judging from where we stopped last time, we've only gone about halfway so far."

"We entered the Northern Di Kingdom at noon. If we're only halfway there now, we'll have to fly for at least another three hours by tomorrow," Qiao Xiangqing calculated.

"That's true." Adeline nodded.

Nangong Wu glanced at them. "No matter what, we'll try our best to escort them a little further."

"I really want to see what a desert is like." Qiao Xiangqing, who had never been to such a place, was very curious and asked Li Shuang beside her, "Sister Li Shuang, have you ever seen a desert?"

"No." Li Shuang shook her head.

Deserts are far away and the environment is harsh, so the master usually doesn't go to those places.

"Then let's go take a look," Nangong Wu said with a smile.

"Dinner is ready, time to eat!" Eileen called out in the space.

"Let's go! Back in the cabin for dinner," Nangong Wu called out to everyone.

It's still quite cold outside, so we have to go inside the cabin to eat.

Just then, the sound of rapid hoofbeats could be faintly heard.

Nangong Wu turned her head and saw that the voice was coming from their direction.

With a thought, she sent the helicopter into space.

Soon, five people on horseback came into their view.

These five people were all wearing the same clothes, like guards of a certain family.

The five men were stunned when they saw people there. They grabbed the reins and looked at them warily.

Who are you?

Li Shuang stepped forward and replied, "We are merchants passing through this area. It's getting dark, so we'd like to spend the night here."

"We'll be camping here." The man at the front looked them up and down suspiciously, and only after confirming they didn't seem like bad people did he say again:

"Since you're a merchant, why don't you even have money for lodging? Are you going to camp out in the wilderness here?"

Li Shuang seemed to understand. "From what you're saying, there's an inn nearby?"

"We'll reach Qingshan City in another five li, but the city gates are probably closed now." With that, the man flicked his whip and led his men away.

"So it's this close to Green Mountain City." Adeline took out a map to check.

"Since we're so close to the city, let's go inside and eat." Nangong Wu conjured up more than twenty horses with her mind, one for each of them.

She leaped onto her horse, "Into the city!"

"drive!"

The group chased after the group of people.

After running for about two miles and going around a big mountain, they finally saw a city in the distance.

If she flew just a little further, she would see the city.

Qiao Xiangqing cracked her whip and rode ahead alongside Nangong Wu. "Fifth Sister-in-law, my travel permit is from the Southern Qi Kingdom, so I might not be able to stay at an inn."

If it turns out they aren't actually from the Northern Di Kingdom, things could get a bit complicated.

Nangong Wu turned and glanced at her. "Let's go into the city first and then talk."

Upon hearing her words, Qiao Xiangqing thought that she might have a solution.

Before long, they arrived at the gate of Qingshan City.

It was already dark by then, and the city gates were closed.

Nangong Wu took a pair of binoculars, surveyed the surroundings, and dismounted.

"We'll enter the city from the left."

Upon hearing this, everyone dismounted.

With a thought, Nangong Wu sent the horses into the space and used her lightness skill to go to the left.

Everyone hurriedly followed.

Fifteen minutes later, they were walking on the main street of Qingshan City.

Nangong Wu held a stack of "travel permits" and handed them out, saying, "Make sure you read the names on them carefully, don't forget them."

Bei Chenyan had previously forged many travel permits from the Northern Di Kingdom. She later gave them to Eileen, asking her to forge some as well, to ensure that the people here wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

She handed out the "travel permits" and then swaggered into an inn.

Seeing so many guests arrive, the innkeeper hurried forward with a beaming smile, "Sir, are you here for a meal or to stay the night?"

It's only February now, and the weather is cold. The inn hasn't had much business since the Lunar New Year, but now that more than twenty people have come, it's a real big business opportunity!

"Check in, 26 people, all need top-class rooms." Nangong Wu slapped a 100-tael silver note on the table, along with a travel permit.

These silver notes came from the Lu family, and it's perfect to spend them in the Northern Di Kingdom.

"We have superior rooms available, two taels of silver per night." The innkeeper glanced at her travel permit and then at the people behind her.

"They are all my attendants. We're only staying one night, so we hope we won't be disturbed. Here's a generous tip for you," Nangong Wu said.

"Alright, alright." Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper didn't mention checking their travel permits. He simply put away the silver and gave them more than twenty keys.

Li Shuang took the key and went upstairs first.

As Nangong Wu walked up the stairs, she suddenly turned around and met the shopkeeper's deep gaze.
