With Qiu's horse carriage, Qin Yao and Liu Ji arrived at the county town by noon.
They bid farewell at the city gate, and the convoy continued toward its destination without stopping.
However, thinking about the possibility of encountering the bandits entrenched in this area, Qiu's grave expression never faded.
He had been escorting goods from the west, Qishan Prefecture, needing to pass through Zijing Mansion to return to the eastern Capital City. He had only completed a third of the journey and had already lost a box of goods due to the bandits, leaving him in a rather despondent mood.
However, before leaving, he still smiled and gave Qin Yao a gourd, saying it contained seeds of a fruit called cool melon.
