As for how she and Qing You were dragged into the yard and then loaded into the car, Zhuang Li couldn't remember. Qing You cried on the side and was slapped by the bandits.

Zhuang Li and Qing You were then carried out of the small town along with the carriage. They were around the same age as the rest of them, so they were probably the people they met in the past.

"Since this place is poor, bandits and bandits will start robbing people when they discover that they can't get any more money."

"My home is at the foot of the mountain, and I'm so poor that I can't even open the pot. If they kidnap me here, my mother can save my share of rations to her brother and sister, and that would be good too." A girl in the carriage said.

"I don't know where he was sold to. It's fine even if he's a servant or a laborer. If he were to be sold to a gallows, I might as well die right now."

"What's so good about dying? Where can we live differently?" The girl from before consoled him. She touched Zhuang Li …

"What did you do to them?"

"They were robbed along the way." Zhuang Li had heard her blabber on for a long time and realized that her mood was really good. Being infected by her, she somehow didn't feel that sad. When she looked closely at the girl's somewhat pretty appearance, she was even more pleased with herself.

"Think of something. Since you're out in the wild, you might as well eat your fill at home."

The girl knocked on Qing You's sad head and asked Zhuang Li, "Your sister?"

"Yes!" Zhuang Li nodded repeatedly.

"My name is Pear Blossom. The year I was born, the flowers bloomed well. How about you?"

Zhuang Li was shocked and blurted out, "My name is Zhuang Li."

It had been a long time since she mentioned the name Zhao Ci, so she felt relieved in her heart. Since she had come this far, it didn't matter whether she was Zhao Ci or not.

"I think of my father, I don't want to leave Dark Cloud Town!" Another girl in the carriage started to sob.

"We've already passed Dark Cloud Town." Riko answered her mercilessly. When he saw that she was crying even harder, he could not help but feel annoyed. He even touched Zhuang Li …

"Li'er, go and persuade her."

Zhuang Li also had a headache. The other children in the car started to cry, causing a chain reaction. They started to sob. Suddenly, a voice from a corner said softly.

"If you want to cry or make a ruckus, then hurry up. You're about to come out of seclusion."

It was a young man's voice. Looking towards the source of the voice, there was a young man sitting in the corner. His hair was messy, and his clothes were tattered.

"It's about to come out!" "Does that mean we're going abroad?" Zhuang Li was shocked again.

The girls and kids inside the car were awakened by his words, and they started to wail and yell.

The coachman stopped the carriage and lashed the carriage with two whips, causing the people inside to immediately stop crying. Then, the big man poked his head into the carriage.

"If you cry again, I'll throw you guys to the Gobi Desert. You'll be taken away by a wolf tonight."

When the man left, the carriage continued to move forward and Pear Blossom shouted to the teenager inside …

"Where are you from?" It's not exactly the same as them, but it doesn't seem like he's a fugitive? "

Only then did the youth slowly turn his head around …

Although his hair was in a mess, he was still very proud. His face was covered in mud, and he looked very handsome and noble.

In a split-second, Zhuang Li's head was bleeding as well, and she let out a "weng" sound …

It turned out to be an old friend!

That young man was none other than Sixth Prince, who went to the Zhao Mansion as a guest …

???? Wang Su...

"?" "Phoenix Dynasty person" Wang Su coldly threw out a sentence, leaving Pear Blossom at a loss as to what to say. Soon she was talking to the other girls around her.

???? Zhuang Li squeezed in beside Wang Su, and before she could say anything, Sixth Prince, who had probably noticed her in the carriage and recognized her as well, gave her a look of hatred and made a head-butchering gesture to warn her not to reveal his identity, to overthink things, or better yet, not to speak.

Now, he suddenly felt that there was nothing to ask, but he didn't want to. Although he was confused as to why Sixth Prince, who was above everyone else, would appear here. Was this intentional, or was it because of some accident that caused him to suffer?

Although Sixth Prince was the culprit that caused him to be here today and had cursed him eighteen thousand times in his heart ever since he left the capital, he didn't hate Sixth Prince to the bones when he saw him here, dressed in shabby clothes.

"Further ahead is the Moon Cross. It's a crescent-shaped mountain range with a small river below. Once you cross the river, you will reach the sword gate and the West Cold will be right outside." The sound of Wang Su's voice wasn't loud, it could just be heard by Zhuang Li amidst the noise and crying inside the car.

Zhuang Li didn't know what to say either. She didn't know anything about the geography of the mountains and rivers, especially in this time and space. She just replied with an 'oh', not understanding what Sixth Prince meant.

The horse carriage was wrapped in thick felt cloth by the bandits, Wang Su moved to the corner where he sat. There was a gap in the carriage, he gestured for Zhuang Li to look outside, and sure enough, there was a small crescent-shaped mountain behind the horse carriage, which was particularly eye-catching on the desert.

"I'll keep that in mind." Sixth Prince and Wang Su said in a low and cold voice. Then, they went back to their original spots and closed their eyes to rest. They no longer paid any attention to Zhuang Li.

Zhuang Li naturally couldn't guess what Sixth Prince had been up to. He still looked as cold as ice and was quite obedient to the bandits.

Seeing Zhuang Li in the corner, Qing You also naturally squeezed over. On the night when Liu Tie came to the Wu Steel Manor to visit, she helped out at the kitchen so she didn't see Sixth Prince. Right now, she only saw him as the same as the other people in the carriage who were kidnapped by bandits, but she also felt that this young man had a different air to him. Zhuang Li didn't have much to say, so she could only pretend that Qing You thought she was just a good-looking teenager who had been sold by bandits to be a 'bunny grandpa'.

Since she left the capital, it had already been almost a month. The desert was desolate, and things changed when people changed. Qing You no longer loathed Li Liangxiao, but now, she often talked about him. Zhuang Li also felt sad when she heard this and could only pray that he and Uncle Zheng could escape from danger every day and not miss her.

They were all dressed in the attire of Phoenix Dynasty people and dressed in the appearance of merchants. In their group, other than their cars and their goods, there were about ten or so carts of goods that they had stolen, all of which she had obtained. She also deeply felt the pain and suffering of being tortured by bandits and robbers for many years within this Phoenix Dynasty city that was close to the border. Thinking about it here, she seemed to remember that Wang Su had asked for Old Prime Minister Zhao's help to clean up the border when they visited Zhao Mansion. She suddenly opened her eyes and stared at Wang Su.

Was his appearance here related to what Prime Minister Zhao said?

"Time to eat." The horse carriage stopped, and the leader of the bandits outside shouted.

There was no water source and the grass couldn't even grow. The bandits were naturally not worried about them escaping and were probably starved to death before exiting the desert. Relieved, he boldly opened the carriage door and let them out for air. Otherwise, they would probably die from suffocation before they reached West Cold.

They were given a small piece of dried dough. Zhuang Li couldn't stop herself from seeing Wang Su take a water bag from the bandit's hands, take a sip, and hand it to her. She hesitated, not expecting him to be so kind,

That Wang Su said, "Do you dislike me to drool?"

She quickly took a big gulp and passed it to Qing You and Pear Blossom.

After a while, the pear blossom came over and said, "Li'er, I heard that the Han people were muttering that we would have to spend the night here. By this time tomorrow, we will be in Fragrant Storey City."

"Spice City?"

"Aiya, it's the capital of West Cold. We would probably all be sold there."

Zhuang Li looked at her and suddenly felt a sense of desolation. However, that Pear Blossom didn't notice it and continued speaking …

"Li'er, if fate wills it, how about we become sworn sisters? We can look after each other once we reach the West Cold."

"Sure."

The pear blossom pulled Zhuang Li along with the water bag and gave her a deep bow towards the setting sun. It was as if no one was there to nag at her …

Huang Tian above, as evidenced by the thick soil, I, Luo Lihua, have become sisters with Li'er today. When we reach West Cold tomorrow, no matter if it's being a slave or a brothel singer, we'll take care of each other!

Her vow be break by the fat headman of the village

"All of you, squat down, rest where you are, and look for a beating!"

That Pear Blossom also obediently squatted down. Secretly, she rolled her eyes, turned her head to look at Zhuang Li, and happily laughed …

Although she was not as attractive as Liu Yiyi, she was one of the most beautiful girls Zhuang Li had ever seen.

Zhuang Li thought that Zhao Ci, who looked just like that, would probably be the same as Qing You, a servant of a richer family. Zhuang Li thought that Zhao Ci, who looked so like that, would probably be the same as Qing You, a servant of a richer family. The unknown future was different from the people in the car.

She had lived in the modern era for twenty-four years, and with her single parent family, she had long since learned to take care of her mother and worry about the matters of the family. In Zhao Ci's body, she had initially disguised herself as a little baby, but now, after experiencing so many twists and turns, she had long ago shown maturity and steadiness beyond her age, concealing her fear and uneasiness.

She and Pear Blossom sat on the desert, looking at the setting sun. Wang Su, who was not far away from her, also had a look of arrogance on his face. Zhuang Li stole a glance at him and was shocked by his glance.

Zhuang Li couldn't help but tighten her clothes. The bandits were too lazy to watch over them, so where could she escape to in this desolate desert?

Luo Lihua had already gone inside the carriage to sleep, while Wang Su still sat beside the bonfire. Zhuang Li knew that he wasn't willing to go in the carriage because there were too many girls.
