The silly concubine said: close the door and let the prince go

Chapter 224 Arrival
As the sun rises, the trip to the frontier begins a new day.

What's surprising is that in the days that followed, Qiao Jin seemed to be all right, silently persevering with the increasingly arduous journey.

On the contrary, the old bustard was either crying tired or suffering.

Apart from worrying about Qiao Jin, Shen Qiaoyan didn't say much.

The journey was full of hardships and dangers. Due to hunger, the environment, the weather and many other factors, many people in the prisoner team had died on the way, but before they reached the border, the team had to keep going. He kept walking non-stop.

Time passed quickly, and the thin winter snow began to fall from the sky, and the desolate land was gradually covered with a thin layer of ice and snow.

At this moment, Shen Qiaoyan and the others, who had already entered the southern part of Kaiyuan Kingdom, could only feel the stinging pain of the icy cold wind whipping their bodies.

"It's coming soon," the old bustard looked up at the road ahead and shouted excitedly, "We're almost there."

Qiao Jin smiled indifferently, but didn't speak.

Shen Qiaoyan raised her head and followed the gaze of the old bustard, a rare smile appeared on her face.

Before they knew it, they had been walking for more than a month.

It's been a safe journey along the way.

Soon she will be able to leave it all and start a new journey.

Shen Qiaoyan looked at her dark hands and smiled.

Hope it's all worth it.

The cold wind is cold, and the southwest of Kaiyuan Kingdom is desolate. The barren land is dry and cracked, houses made of loess are everywhere, and yellow sand is flying in the air.

Due to perennial hunger and poverty, most of the people around are thin and weak, black and yellow.

Even in the cold winter, they wore very little clothes, and even some clothes were not covered, and there were many corpses of people who died of hunger and cold on the ground.

"The main palace is too much." Seeing all kinds of things around her, the old bustard turned her head and said to Shen Qiao sadly.

Shen Qiaoyan sighed, shook his head and said, "Normally, the southwestern border has been invaded by foreign enemies all the year round, there have been many wars, the place is extremely dry, and there is very little food. I have expected this situation a long time ago."

"Alas" the bustard who heard the words sighed again.

After they arrived at the southwestern frontier, the six officials who pressed them to the frontier unchained them, and they became one of the frontier refugees thereafter.

Shen Qiaoyan rubbed the wrist with the iron chain removed, and smiled triumphantly.

finally reached.

"Ah, it's finally here, but I'm exhausted to death." The old bustard raised her hands and shouted cheerfully.

After Qiao Jin smiled lightly, she was also speechless.

"Qiao Jin, are you okay?" Shen Qiaoyan asked worriedly.

Qiao Jin shook her head, "It's fine."

While everyone was being released, Shen Qiaoyan saw that strange official again and took out a whistle from his sleeve to call for the pigeon.

After a while, the familiar carrier pigeon appeared again, and it landed on the official's arm.

This time, he still glanced at Shen Qiaoyan, then put away the small scroll and let the white dove fly.

baffling.

Shen Qiaoyan thought to herself.

Originally, she thought that the official was trying to make trouble, but seeing them reach the frontier safely, it seemed that she was suspicious.

Shen Qiaoyan raised the corners of her lips and smiled in relief, turned around and patted the old bustard on the shoulder, and said, "Go, find a place to rest, and let me tell you about our next step."

The bustard stretched.

Sure enough, he knew that this was not the place where the main palace was coming.
