After the carriage had been moving for half a day, Chen Yan pulled open the curtain to take a look outside and curiously asked, "We've been traveling for so long, why are we still heading south and not west?"
Sitting inside the carriage, Yun Zhao laughed heartily, holding a wine jug in his hand, and said, "If we head directly west, we would arrive in seven or eight days, so why leave so early?
I already told you, we're going to travel the scenic route, since it's a journey, naturally we'll take some detours."
As he spoke, he swept the food off the table with a roll of his sleeve, spread out a map of the Southern Border on the table, and began to explain to Chen Yan, "We'll head south first, travel for two days, cross Iron Flow River, then climb Two Realms Mountain, where we can see the Jade Hanging Waterfall!
