The carriage hurtled down the official road.
Wheels rolled thunderously, jolting against the cold wind, their pace quickening ever more.
Fields and mountains passed by the carriage window one by one, from dawn to sunset, and gradually a few night lamps could be seen, flickering dimly and brightly...
Night had fallen.
Winter nights amidst war are exceptionally chilly.
All along the way, hardly a single commoner could be seen.
Yishui Pier had already been taken under control by the Northern Yong Army; no civilian boats were coming and going.
Feng Yun had the carriage stop outside the blockade line before stepping forward.
Unexpectedly, the Cavalry Colonel stationed at the dock was an unfamiliar face who did not recognize the Princess of Yonghuai disguised in men's clothing.
After eyeing Feng Yun from head to toe, he approached and began shooing people away.
"This is a military stronghold; no civilians allowed. Where did you come from? Go on, get out of here!"
