Chapter 1119 Abandoning Carriages and Horses to Choose Flight
Xiao Jingyu drove the carriage past the two groves where the thirteen Dongwei beasts were buried, and after traveling for about half an incense stick's time, he finally stopped the carriage.
Leng Rongyue stepped out of the carriage and, taking Xiao Jingyu's outstretched hand, gracefully jumped down.
Night had fallen, and the city gates of the capital and the county town of Banshan at the other end of the official road had long since closed. The dark official road was now quiet and silent.
Leng Rongyue directly brought the carriage and Xiao Jingyu into the space.
Park the carriage by the stream so the horses can graze on the grass and drink from the stream.
Leng Rongyue and Xiao Jingyu walked into the small building together, went to the living room, and sat down by the tea table.
While boiling water to prepare tea, Leng Rongyue looked at Xiao Jingyu and asked, "Your Highness, could you please describe in detail the terrain and topography along the way to Qilin Mountain in Dongchang Prefecture, as well as how many cities and villages we will pass through?"
"it is good!"
Xiao Jingyu nodded.
"The road we're on now is the same road that leads to the Half-Mountain Manor."
If you go past Banshan Manor and continue forward, you will reach Banshan County.
After passing through Banshan County, you'll reach the official road leading to Dashi Village, a road we've traveled before.
To get to Dongchangfu, you need to take the right turn at the fork in the road before the entrance to the mountain road in Dashi Village.
The journey will take you through about five villages and two county towns – Banshan County and Fenglai County.
To reach Qilin Mountain, one must pass through Dongchang Prefecture City—Qilin Mountain is located on the other side of Dongchang Prefecture City.
"Oh, that's it!"
Leng Rongyue listened and nodded to show that she understood. She dipped her finger into the tea in her teacup and drew a simple shape in the middle of the tea tray.
"Is that right?"
Xiao Jingyu watched as Leng Rongyue's slender fingers quickly traced the line, and nodded, "That's right, it's just like this!"
Leng Rongyue frowned. "In other words, we can only drive the off-road jeep before we reach Banshan County."
Once we reach the vicinity of Banshan County, we'll have to put away the jeep and switch to a horse-drawn carriage.
They also needed to negotiate with the guards at the city gate of Banshan County to temporarily open the gate.
As for us, after passing through Banshan County and exiting through the other gate, we took advantage of the darkness to switch to jeeps and travel for a while.
Before reaching Fenglai County, we need to put away the jeeps and switch to horse-drawn carriages, continue negotiating with the garrison to open the city gates, and then pass through the city...
After all this commotion, it'll probably be dawn soon.
During the day, we naturally couldn't drive jeeps anymore, so we had to drive the horse-drawn carriage forward, which slowed us down considerably.
At that speed, it would be good if they could reach Dongchang Prefecture before dark!
We still need to go into the city to search for His Highness the Crown Prince, which will take time.
Besides, it's not good to do things in the dark.
Besides, regardless of whether we find His Highness the Crown Prince or not, we still need to cross Dongchang Prefecture and exit through the other gate to enter Qilin Mountain!
Leng Rongyue pointed to the circuit diagram she had drawn and went through it. She was getting a little thirsty from talking, so she reached out and took the tea that Xiao Jingyu handed her and took a couple of sips.
"Yes, that's it!"
Xiao Jingyu nodded again.
"no!
Switching between jeeps and horse-drawn carriages like this is too troublesome and wastes too much time!
Leng Rongyue frowned and thought for a moment, then made up her mind, "Let's just fly there!"
Under the cover of night, they flew straight to Dongchangfu City.
"As soon as it's light, we'll go into the city to search for His Highness the Crown Prince. We can then investigate Qilin Mountain that very day!"
"fly?
How does it fly?
Is Yue'er referring to light-footed kung fu?
"Lightness skill... it's okay for short distances, but it's a long distance like Dongchang Prefecture..."
Xiao Jingyu imagined the distance from here to Dongchang Prefecture and couldn't help but shake his head.
It's so far, even if I worked myself to death, I still wouldn't get there overnight!
Seeing Xiao Jingyu frowning in thought, Leng Rongyue chuckled, "Your Highness Prince Yu, you don't think... Yue'er is thinking of a way to work Your Highness to death, do you?"
Yue'er wasn't suggesting His Highness Prince Yu use his light-footed skills to fly there, but rather that we fly there in a plane!
"Flying chicken?"
What is a flying chicken?
Xiao Jingyu really couldn't imagine... what kind of thing this flying chicken was that could carry them directly to Dongchang Prefecture!
"As for airplanes... Your Highness, you can imagine them as a large mechanical bird, or you can imagine them as an off-road jeep that has grown wings and can fly into the sky!"
In short, His Highness Prince Yu will see it soon enough, sit on it, and fly into the sky... then he'll know!
Leng Rongyue blinked, a hint of mystery on her small face.
Xiao Jingyu tried hard to imagine that he and Yue'er were riding on the back of a giant bird, and that bird was carrying them away...
Now imagine... flying into the sky in an off-road jeep...
Xiao Jingyu shook his head violently, indicating that he couldn't imagine it.
If you can't imagine it, then don't think about it at all. Just follow Yue'er's lead. Do what Yue'er tells you to do, and that will be fine.
Since we've decided to fly directly to Dongchangfu, there's no need to rush.
Leng Rongyue and Xiao Jingyu drank two cups of tea in peace, then stood up and walked towards the grove of trees on the other side of the stream.
Turning past the grove of trees, I was suddenly struck by a strange building ahead—its roof was arched and its height was equivalent to two or three stories.
The main gate in front was tightly closed.
