Ling Yun went into the lake nearby and followed the same path to dig a small hole. After finding a large rock to block the cave entrance, Ling Yun turned back to the original mountain path.
He had two things he needed to do in the near future. The first was to purchase enough materials to settle Yang Wenwei down, and the second was to go to the < Heavenly Dragon's Eight Division > to completely settle Mao's Six Deaths.
Right now, the first thing Ling Yun wanted to do was.
After they had made seven turns and eight turns back to the main road, Ling Yun asked in his mind: "Little Qian, which city is the closest to this place?"
"It's Yang Zhou city." Little Qian replied.
"Yangzhou City? Which direction is it at and how far is it from here? " Ling Yun prayed silently that he was not too far away.
"Yangzhou City is directly to the east, about one hundred and thirty miles away from Brother Ling." However, things often went against his wishes, and Little Qian's answer made Ling Yun's wish come to naught.
"A hundred and thirty miles is sixty-five kilometers, my God." Ling Yun let out a long sigh, bitterly smiled as he walked with heavy steps towards Yangzhou City.
Sixty five kilometers, the Spiritual Bead's probing distance was not that far yet, so Ling Yun had no way of knowing the situation in Yangzhou. However, Ling Yun knew the direction of the official road that led straight to the east.
Ling Yun's luck was not bad. When he was about halfway through the journey, he met a few galloping horses with average martial arts skills. Not only were they unable to cause Ling Yun any trouble, they even "contributed" six hundred crystal boundaries and a few decent footwork tools.
On the way, Ling Yun gradually met some villages, but these villages were obviously unable to meet Ling Yun's needs. Giving the extra horses to the villagers, Ling Yun helplessly continued forward.
"Whew, we've finally arrived." After walking for more than two hours, Ling Yun saw from afar that Yangzhou City had heaved a sigh of relief. Clearly, it was tiring to sit on a horse for a long time.
Ling Yun dismounted from the horse and walked towards Yangzhou City.
"Halt! Who are you?" Ling Yun walked to the gates of Yangzhou City, and just as he was about to enter the city, a soldier extended his spear to stop him and shouted.
"Oh, I'm short of big brother. I'm here from Huzhou to look for my wife." Hearing the soldier's shout, Ling Yun's eyelids jumped, could it be that the matter was exposed, but he still stood there with an expressionless face and explained.
Firstly, because it had only been a day since he saved Yang Wenwei, it was impossible for the communication skills of the Wuxia World to find out so quickly. Secondly, he had already sensed that there were no less than ten Earth Realm experts around the city gate. Otherwise, with just these ten odd soldiers at the city gate, who were only at the level of Yellow Level, Ling Yun would not even put them in his eyes.
"Humph, you can fool others but you can't fool me. Be honest, if I don't investigate whether or not you are one of those spies sent by the rebels, I will make you beg for death!" The officer shouted and cursed, but out of the corner of his eyes, he continued to size up the horse that Ling Yun was leading.
"Tell the truth, so as to avoid suffering!" A few of the officers nearby also agreed, they stared at Ling Yun's horses with greedy eyes, faintly, they wanted to go up and search Ling Yun's body.
Ling Yun observed the other people who were stopped and discovered that most of them were dressed decently, but their status was not very high.
"Brother Que, you must be joking. What I've said is the truth. It's just a small amount of money and it's disrespectful. I hope you can accept it." Ling Yun pretended to have a bitter face, and fished out a few pieces of silver, about three to five grams, and handed it over to the official.
"Such a small favor, I hope big brother can accept it." Then, Ling Yun took out some silver, which was probably around 10 taels, and distributed it to the other soldiers.
"Impudent, are we such people? However, looking at you, it seems like you are not a traitor. This time, I will let you off, but next time, let's just put some light spots on the ground. Let's go! " The officer took the lead and accepted the silver, and with a wave of his hand, Ling Yun entered the room, the other soldiers took the silver and kept them in their pockets.
"Yes, yes. But I don't know the rules. Thank you, big brother." Ling Yun thanked them and went in, but the soldiers did not notice that after they received the silver, a strange energy entered their bodies. This energy would not cause them to lose their lives, but every tenth or so would cause them so much pain that they would rather die.
"What should I buy?" Entering the city, Ling Yun frowned and thought for a while before making his decision. He then walked towards the northern grain store. No matter what, things like dry food and clothes were still essential.
And just as Ling Yun was preparing the rations, on the other side of the cave, Yang Wenwei was still considering whether he should take this opportunity to take revenge.
After thinking about it, Yang Wenwei shook his head. No matter what, he had to wait for his return first, he was not that kind of person.
After spending a lot of effort, Ling Yun purchased a large amount of rations, which were more than enough for two people to eat for a month. After throwing all of these rations into the Spiritual Bead s space and using a special method to preserve them, Ling Yun walked towards the cloth farm.
"Customer, what do you want to do?" Just as Ling Yun stepped into the cloth farm, a shopkeeper like middle-aged man ran over and greeted Ling Yun with a smile.
He could see that the person in front of him was definitely not lacking in money.
"Manager Liu, do you have ready-made bedding and women's clothes?" Ling Yun said. According to the information given by Little Qian, the shopkeeper was surnamed Wang, the second in charge of the cloth farm.
"Of course there is a blanket, just a woman's clothes? "Yes, of course!" A strange expression appeared on Manager Liu's face for a moment before he smiled and said. It didn't matter what he wanted the women's clothing for, as long as it was silver.
Hearing Ling Yun's words, all the people in the cloth farm who were currently picking out pieces of cloth stopped what they were doing at the same time, and looked at Ling Yun with a strange gaze.
"Cough cough, don't misunderstand. I'm just going to choose some clothes for this lowly woman." Seeing the strange gazes these people were shooting at him with, how could Ling Yun not understand?
"So that's how it is. I should have thought of it." Hearing Ling Yun's explanation, the shopkeeper suddenly understood.
The other women all revealed envious expressions because in this era, women didn't have much status. A man could buy clothes for a woman, and from this, it could be seen how much of a pampered that woman was.
Ling Yun did not explain any further, and actually did not need to. He picked out a few sets of clothes and bedding that fit him well, paid the bill, and walked out of the cloth farm.
After buying a few more supplies, he felt that he had basically bought all the items he needed at the current stage. With that, Ling Yun headed towards the direction of the city gate.
