At this moment, her beautiful big eyes smiled into a crescent shape, flashing with a gentle light like water, shining brightly.

"Oh, you little rascal, you have a very stubborn temper!"

Ye Zifen patted the horse's neck coquettishly. The movement of her hand was intimate and natural, without any sense of affectation.

Zhang Gaoyi stared quietly at Ye Zifen in front of him and the tall and strong horse she was sitting on. A faint smile involuntarily appeared on his weather-beaten face.

The wind whistled in my ears, bringing a hint of coolness and comfort.

Ye Zifen's black hair that fell on her shoulders like a waterfall was a little messy due to the wind. She raised her fair and slender hands and gently smoothed out the hair that was messed up by the wind.

"I hope everything goes well on the rest of the journey..."

Ye Zifen murmured softly, as if telling her inner wishes to the wind.

In this way, several people walked silently on this muddy road, slowly and firmly moving towards the unknown distance.

Their figures gradually moved away and finally disappeared in the distant skyline, leaving only a series of deep and shallow footprints to witness this extraordinary journey.

Two days later, in the early morning, the sun shone through the thin clouds and fell on the earth, covering everything with a layer of golden gauze.

After a long journey, the group finally arrived at a quiet and peaceful town.

This is where the caravan once stayed, but now the caravan has long since left, leaving behind only the not-so-bustling streets and a row of deserted shops.

One of the masters looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar scene in front of him, let out a long sigh, turned his head to look at Ye Zifen, whose face was still a little pale, his eyes full of concern.

He asked softly, "Finally I see the boss, girl, are we going to stay here for two days to adjust?"

There was a barely perceptible hint of worry in his voice.

Over the years, they have experienced countless ups and downs together, and have never backed down whether facing bad weather, ferocious beasts or vicious robbers.

However, this time was an exception - Ye Zifen actually fell ill, and she caught a cold.

Although she has recovered now, everyone is still full of worry.

Ye Zifen frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "Let's get some food first. We are all starving. Let's find an inn to rest for the night, and we will set out early tomorrow morning. By the way, I have to take this opportunity to buy a horse at the market. General Zhenbei is still anxiously waiting for our arrival. We have been delayed on the road for more than half a month. We can't delay any longer. We must hurry up!"

After saying that, she nodded to her master, signaling him not to worry too much.

Although she had just recovered from an injury and was still a little weak and tired, the heavy responsibility in Ye Zifen's heart was like a huge rock pressing on her heart, and she dared not slack off even in the slightest.

She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and then continued, "The current situation of the caravan is still unclear. I haven't received any accurate news about them for such a long time. I feel like there is a big rock hanging in my heart. So we have to act quickly and can't delay any longer!"

Master A, who was standing nearby, nodded slightly in agreement when he heard this and responded, "Okay, then we'll do as you say. But the most urgent thing right now is to solve the problem of food and clothing. Let's go find some food first."

After that, the few of them walked side by side and slowly headed towards the center of the town.

Although this place cannot be described as prosperous and bustling, it is not deserted either. There are still several simple stalls on both sides of the street selling a variety of daily food.

On one of the stalls, there were steaming buns that were freshly baked. The white mist rising from the steamer covered the stall owner's face like a veil, making it difficult to see clearly.

At another stall, there was a big pot of cooking wontons. The wontons in the pot looked plump and round, like crystal clear pearls, rolling happily in the boiling hot water.

After looking around for a while, they finally found a relatively spacious open space and sat down. They quickly ordered some steaming food from the stall owner.

One of them, Zhang Gaoyi, shouted at the top of his voice: "Boss, give us a few bowls of wontons and a few buns!"

His voice was loud and powerful, instantly attracting the attention of many people around him.

Before long, the food they ordered was brought up one by one by the stall owner.

The tempting aroma of wontons wafted into everyone's nasal cavity, causing everyone to swallow their saliva.

Ye Zifen, who was sitting nearby, carefully picked up the spoon, scooped a spoonful of wonton soup into her mouth, feeling the delicious warm taste spreading on her tongue, and then slowly began to taste the delicious wontons and buns.

After Ye Zifen finished enjoying the delicious meal, she gently put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands, stood up gracefully, and gently patted the dust on her clothes with her hands.

Then, she turned to look at Zhang Gaoyi beside her and said in a tender voice, "Come with me for a walk."

Zhang Gaoyi followed closely the slender figure in front of him, and the two of them walked slowly into the slightly deserted street side by side.

Her steps were light and agile, and she moved forward quickly like a nimble deer.

At the same time, her eyes, bright as stars, remained highly alert at all times, constantly moving left and right, carefully examining the surrounding environment.

Her sight flashed across every corner of the street as quickly as lightning. No matter whether it was the sundries placed on the street, the signs hanging in front of the shops, or the faces of the passers-by, nothing could escape her keen observation.

Especially those places where horses were rumored to be sold, instantly became the focus of her attention.

Her bright eyes, like two torches, were fixed on these places, as if she would miss the crucial clues if she blinked.

After all, she plans to live on the vast grassland for a long time in the future, so she must find a feasible route to transport the things she needs from that distant place!

In this way, with full of longing and expectation, she began to explore this small town tirelessly.

Her eyes swept across every corner as quickly and eagerly as a storm.
