Chapter 1239 - 1239 606 Father (Third Watch)
?Chapter 1239: 606 Father! (Third Watch) Chapter 1239: 606 Father! (Third Watch) Lord Xuanping left the Tea Shed still feeling sentimental, “The folks here are truly warm-hearted, not even charging for tea.”
The owner of the Tea Shed had been running his stall for seven or eight years and had never seen such a stingy customer before!
Absolutely unbelievable!
The torrential rain showed no signs of abating, making traveling in such weather extremely dangerous and inconvenient.
Of course, that applied to others, but Lord Xuanping was a military general, who had experienced even worse weather on the battlefield; he would not easily be stopped halfway.
Dressed in a thick straw coat and wearing a bamboo hat, Lord Xuanping rode atop his tall steed.
He patted its head, looking into the waterfall-like rain and said, “That old man is on his last breath, don’t you understand he cannot be allowed to die a peaceful death?”
The horse seemed to sense its master’s determination and murderous aura, neighing loudly and rearing up before charging fearlessly into the downpour.
Meanwhile, Xiao Hen, after a whole day’s arduous journey, finally arrived at the same Tea Shed Lord Xuanping had once visited.
At night, the Tea Shed was supposed to close, but because the rain was too heavy, the customers could not leave, and the owner could not return home.
The Tea Shed was packed, and the price of tea and food skyrocketed, with steamed buns that cost two coins each now soaring to ten coins.
The carriage raced through the rain, and Liao Quan, dressed in a straw coat, with eyes barely able to open, said, “Young Master Xiao, there’s a Tea Shed ahead, shall we take a break there?”
Xiao Hen replied with a focused gaze, “Uncle Liao, please continue to push on.”
Liao Quan tightened the reins, “I’m fine, but I’m worried about you! You’ve been traveling all day, how are your wounds?”
“I’m alright, let’s keep going then,” Xiao Hen said.
“Eh,” Liao Quan acknowledged.
“Wait,” Xiao Hen suddenly interjected, “Stop a moment.”
Liao Quan pulled the carriage to a halt, “What’s the matter?”
Xiao Hen looked at the map in his hand, then glanced at the fork in the road ahead, “There are two paths ahead, I don’t know which one he took.”
Both roads led to the Official Road near Creek Village, but the conditions of the roads varied, and the time spent on each would also differ.
