Just like this, Cardinal guarded the escort company for the entire night. However, in the latter half of the night, everyone slowly woke up. As they chatted and laughed together, it did not seem boring at all.

However, the Cardinal still preferred the first half of the night.

Perhaps, if he were to look at the starry sky quietly, he would feel slightly at peace.

At daybreak, the people from the Longmen Escort Office hastened their journey as they reached the Yan City.

As long as they rushed to the city and found an inn to stay in, they could finally have a good rest.

The boat rolled.

Although these four words were said simply, in reality, the feeling of fatigue was not covered. You would feel very tired after walking for a long distance, not only physically, but also mentally. However, if it was a short journey, he might be able to take a look at the beautiful scenery of the roadside. Traveling was like sightseeing and was extremely comfortable.

But if a road goes far and the scenery is easily overlooked, it is not only because the road is so far away, perhaps the long journey has exhausted your enthusiasm, you will not only not be interested in the scenery along the way, you will also have an urgent desire to rest for a while.

In the world, there were those who moved quickly, those who moved in haste, those who moved slowly, those who advanced, and those who retreated.

Whether it was travelling, or practicing martial arts, or learning, or being an official, or doing business.

You can't push yourself too hard, and you can't let yourself relax too much.

If he was forced into a corner, he would be forced to go all out. If he wanted to be quick, he would not be able to make it.

Relaxed, dispel the spirit, tomorrow to return to the next day, tomorrow is so many, I was born tomorrow, all things wasted.

Cardinal had not slept for the entire night. Taking advantage of everyone waking up in the morning, he sat down on the ground and began to cultivate his internal energy for an hour.

Cultivating inner strength was his daily mission and his habit.

For the past twenty years, an old man had constantly warned him to not be disheartened and to not be abandoned. Who knew how many times he had listened to the story of how many times the pestle had been grinded into a needle.

There were even times when he was beaten and scolded for not cultivating inner force.

When he was eight or nine years old, he had been extremely confused.

Why did he always have to meditate and cultivate? Why did he have to memorize the chants, practice movement techniques, and even saber techniques?

He even cried with his master because of these matters, but every time he cried, he received even more strict training.

It was as if begging was useless.

Master never said why.

He might even turn into a star and look at himself, to see if he is doing well, cultivating diligently, and doing things seriously.

However, he could now understand a bit more. If he didn't cultivate, he wouldn't become stronger, and if he didn't train, he wouldn't become tenacious.

Cardinal Cheng thought to himself.

The journey was quite smooth. Under the broad daylight, there were fewer people looting the darts.

In truth, as soon as they approached the city, they had to be safer.

Within his own territory, if thieves ran rampant and there was a group of bandits around, then this official would soon reach his end.

The ancients had their own way of saying things, and they didn't hold back on their martial arts. This was no lie.

Perhaps bandits and bandits might not care about a small village, but if it was near a city, they would still need to consider it.

It was not only because he was afraid of the government, but also, as the saying goes, if you walk on your path, I will walk on my own path.

It was a happy situation for both of them to have nothing to do with each other.

The closer the people of Cardinal and the Dragon Gate Escort Office got to the city, the safer they would be.

Nie Laihong said loudly, "We're almost at the city. Everyone, be alert. Once we enter the city, it'll be much better. I'll ask someone to help us take care of this dart. There should be people from the government who are willing to accept it."

After last night's rest, the morale had increased a lot. Now that they heard that they were going to the city to rest, everyone was filled with motivation. Humans were like this. If there was hope, they would wholeheartedly work hard to follow it. If they did not see any hope, it would be better if they did not give up for a bit.

Everyone shouted, "Alright!"

Nie Laihong then walked over to the Cardinal's side and said, "Brother Cheng, you didn't sleep last night. You've done your best for my Longmen Escort Office. You'll have to take a good rest when you get to the city."

His tone was sincere and filled with gratitude.

In fact, a martial artist's physique far exceeded that of an ordinary person. If he were to decide not to sleep, it wouldn't be too difficult for him to not sleep for ten nights.

However, Huai Cheng didn't reject Nie Laihong's good intentions and said, "Brother Nie, it's the same. Although it's much safer inside the city, we can't leave the escort company unguarded."

Nie Laihong said, "You don't have to worry too much about this. After I enter the city, I'll find the Yan City Lord and ask him for a price. After that, I'll ask him for some money and ask him for some food. But that shouldn't be the case either. As the City Lord, you shouldn't be able to do such a thing to ruin your own reputation. You just need to pay attention to those officers who haven't had clean hands or feet. "

"Since Brother Nie has already made the arrangements, then I won't add anything. When the time comes, Brother Nie, take care of your own health and rest well," said Hucheng.

Even before entering the city, he had already decided on what to do after entering it.

It had to be said that Nie Laihong did things in a neat and orderly manner.

After yesterday's experience, she was now quite familiar with it.

Seeing Nie Laihong and Cardinal talking, he also mounted his horse and asked, "What are you guys talking about?"

Nie Laihong said, "I've been discussing with Brother Cheng about where we can go to drink wine and flowers after entering the city. After entering the city this time, we'll reach Luoyang after a walk of three hundred li. We've suffered a lot of injuries."

"Young Clan Lord, don't forget what you said!"

Then he rode away indignantly.

That's all Nie Laihong said. How could I not know?

As long as they didn't arrive at their destination, any careless move could cause their escort team to be doomed. Although Nie Laihong had told him everything about entering the city, he still didn't let his guard down.

After the morale of the Dragon Gate Escort Office rose, although everyone was still injured, there was less disappointment. This was the power of hope.

People who walked in the desert, as long as their hearts had an oasis, they might be able to reach their destination and walk out of the desert.

As the sky began to darken, a city came into view.

Yan City.

This was the second city the Cardinal had travelled to outside of the Shunjin Manor.

Yan City was the capital of the former country of Yin. However, after the late emperor unified the country, he changed his name to Yan City.

The towering city walls, despite having experienced countless hardships, were filled with an incomparably solemn, domineering aura.

The city walls were over twenty meters tall, and there were patrolling soldiers on top of the walls.

The torches on the city wall were slowly ignited, and as they approached the base of the city wall, they could feel the majestic city walls.

There was a line in the past that wrote a poem in Yan City.

Liu Yinghua along the banks of Yan City, and the young families outside Yan City. Wishing to climb the city wall to die for the king, willing to be the city guards corpse.

However, with the invasion of Yan City, no one would be able to remember the unification of the world. Perhaps, there were still some survivors of Yan City who would remember it.

"Halt, what are you doing? Entering the city in the middle of the night, is there any way to clear the level?" The two groups of soldiers all held long spears in their hands as they guarded the city gates.

Seeing the people from the Dragon Gate Escort Office, he immediately asked them with a stern voice.
