Thinking of this, Lv Shi Shi decided to travel to the Western Regions. Time was of the essence. Before he could finish his bowl of water, he stood up without hesitation and prepared to leave.

As soon as Lü Ye stood up, the caravan headed to the Western Regions also started to travel in the same direction as Lü Shi. Because of his outstanding lightness skills, Lu Jiexi had never ridden on a mount because his legs were more powerful than others. Although everyone in the caravan had a horse, they had more cargo and could not speed up.

Just like this, without any communication, the caravan travelled for four to five miles with Lv Shi Shi. He had an affinity with this group of merchants, and it was this pair of merchants' conversations that had led him to recall the clue that Wang Zhizhong had given him, and now that they were moving in the same direction at the same speed, he seriously sized up this group of merchants: There were only seven of them, and they were all young men, not much older than him.

"No matter what, we still have to travel together. We might as well go up and have a chat with them and get to know the situation in the Western Regions. Maybe there will be some unexpected benefits." And even if not, it's a little fun for this boring trip. " As he thought about this, he walked closer to the caravan.

The leader of the caravan was the man surnamed Pan. This year, he was only in his early thirties, and this was the first time that he led his company to the Western Regions to do business. Captain Pan himself had never tasted the wine he had just mentioned. He had only heard about it from others. This time, leading the team alone, he had a lot of worries in his heart. He hoped that nothing bad would happen, so he had to be extra careful.

From the wine stall to here, Squadron Leader Pan had also noticed King Lu's arrival. As we walked, his eyes would glance at Lv Yeshi casually and jokingly. What the hell is this kid's background, he would listen to us all the time he was at the wine stand, we'd leave him, and he'd walk in the same direction as us, at the same speed. Could it be that this person wants to harm us? However, from the looks of their bodies, they probably didn't have much strength, but these two rolling eyeballs clearly showed them as shrewd people. It was hard to say which bandits might be following them, so they had to be careful.

As he was thinking, Lü came over to him. Captain Pan quickly looked away and pretended that he was talking to the guys.

"Hello everyone." Lu Shishi cupped his fist towards the caravan and said, "May I ask if you are the caravan heading to the Western Regions?"

As expected, he quickly replied, "We're not really caravans. We went together to meet our old friends in the west. We just brought some cheap local specialties."

Lu Shisui was extremely intelligent, and he could hear that Lu Shisui was on guard against him. He thought that it was the usual way for merchants to protect themselves, so he did not put it to heart. He continued to say: "This one is called Lü the World, and is also going to the Western Regions, but this is my first time going there, so I do not know many things about the Western Regions, and I do not have a partner on the road either. I hope that I can travel with the big brothers and learn some knowledge about the Western Regions, and make some friends."

When Captain Pan heard this, he thought to himself, "We've only walked four to five miles together. We don't even know where we're going, so we're going with us. This is a bit too suspicious."

However, before Pan's team leader could reject Lv Shisui, one of the team members stepped forward and was the young man who asked the first question in the wine jug. This young man's surname was Zhao and he was the youngest of the group. He was also the only one who had never been to the Western Regions.

During this trip to the Western Regions, Zhao Si was mocked by his peers, making this young man feel very embarrassed. He was naturally very happy to see another young man who he had never been to before. He impatiently jumped out and said, "That's great, don't worry, although the weather in the Western Regions is bad and the journey is dangerous, we are all very experienced people. Traveling with us will definitely ensure your safety."

"That's great, thank you everyone." [Previous Chapter] [Table of Contents] [Next Chapter]

Captain Pan was unhappy, but since this Zhao Si was his brother-in-law, he had to give him some face. In order to maintain his captain's image, Captain Pan could only say one last thing: "We welcome you to come with us. Be careful on the road."

As Zhao Si was the most similar in age to Lv Shisui, he chatted with him very speculatively. He changed the subject of the strange experiences in the Western Regions that he had heard about and told it to Lv Shisui as a story of his adventures. Lu Shisui did not pursue the matter of truth or falsehood as he listened very interestedly.

Captain Pan wasn't in such a good mood. While the two of them were chatting passionately, he called the other brothers over and whispered, "I think this kid might have evil intentions. Pay attention on the road." Just like this, the group advanced for three days and three nights.

The team was in a hurry, each with different thoughts running through their minds. In three days' time, they had reached the vicinity of Helan Mountain. Due to the terrain, the land beneath the Helan Mountain was fertile, flat, and full of water, so the vegetation was much denser than in other parts of the northwest. In addition to the farmland, there were also large areas of dense forest between the Gobi Desert and the desert. Although it was already autumn, the noon sunlight was still extremely scorching. It made people feel hot and sleepy.

"I see that there are other paths in the forest. It would be better for us to continue forward through the forest to avoid being scorched by the sun." Lu Shisui suggested.

After travelling with this caravan for three days, Lu Ran only talked to Zhao Si. Everyone else was wary of him and subconsciously kept their distance from him. Lu Ran felt nothing, as he was an outsider after all.

[Previous Chapter] [Table of Contents] [Next Chapter] Lü's suggestion came from good intentions, but Captain Pan was secretly muttering to himself. The three days had not dispelled Captain Pan's suspicions about Lü, but he still felt that he harbored malicious intentions. Therefore, Captain Pan hesitated when Lü gave his opinion.

Zhao Si didn't care about that. He loudly said, "Okay, okay. This forest is so comfortable."

Although the other brothers did not say anything, they were still very solated and hoped to pass through the forest. They could only watch as their leader walked.

Captain Pan had no choice but to say, "I think Brother Lu's words are correct. I was just about to change routes and take the small path in the forest." But the woods are dense, so we have to be careful and be safe. "

His last sentence was actually a reminder to the others. However, the more he was afraid of something happening, the more likely it would happen. Quite a lot of trouble had arisen in this forest.
