Devil Sovereign: Consort Can’t Escape - C144

Mu Xiaoling and Qi Tai had experienced a lot of things in the past few days, but Tang Ling and Qi Tai were under a lot of pressure.

Mu Xiaoling had long since realized this, so she didn’t think much of Tang Ling’s small joke. She just smiled and walked over.

Coming out today was to look at the wanted poster, and secondly, to prepare for his departure. Time was of the essence, and he could not afford to delay any longer.

Tang Ling and the others started to prepare. When Mu Xiaoling sent Feng Jiuyang to the Feng Clan’s courtyard, she bluntly said, “Brother Feng, let’s part ways here.”

Feng Jiuyang didn’t force the issue and changed the topic, “Does Miss Mu plan on going to the newly opened Secret Realm in Ling Country?”

Mu Xiaoling nodded. “That’s right.”

Feng Jiuyang smilingly said, “I also wanted to go take a look. How about we go together?”

Mu Xiaoling’s eyebrows creased slightly. “But your injuries …”

“It’s not a big deal. No problem.” Feng Jiuyang saw that the courtyard’s door was already opened, “How about Miss Mu follow me in, and when I pack my luggage, we can set off together?”

“This …” Mu Xiaoling was a bit hesitant. Even though she and Feng Jiuyang had experienced a difficult situation together, it was true that she wasn’t close with Feng Jiuyang. Since she had so many secrets, it would be more dangerous for her to know one more person.

However, in private, she felt that Feng Jiuyang was a true gentleman and wouldn’t do such embarrassing things.

“The Ling Kingdom is a long way. If there’s one more, then take care of it. Besides, I also want to use this as an opportunity to find my big brother.” Feng Jiuyang let out a faint sigh, “If Lady Mu is inconvenient, then forget it.”

“No need, go pack.” In the end, Mu Xiaoling couldn’t bear it anymore. Moreover, Feng Jiuyang’s elder brother, Feng Wu Yi, had indeed helped her. She couldn’t just forget about the kindness he had shown her.

Feng Jiuyang smiled and went in to clean up. About two hours later, Tang Ling and Qi Tai also returned.

Tang Ling drank a big bowl of water and wiped her mouth with her sleeve before saying: “We have contacted the merchant group. Since the Immortal Yang City has just been lifted, and the caravan was about to leave a few days ago, they were forced to stay in the sealed city. They are now preparing to leave, and will leave tomorrow morning.”

Mu Xiaoling nodded. “Time is of the essence, this is the best.”

Tang Ling took out four wooden tags and threw them on the table, “Our identities are fighters who helped protect the caravan. Don’t you know how happy the owner was to see us go over? He gave us our identity tags without asking further questions.”

Feng Jiuyang laughed: “Because the devils are rampant right now, bandits are rampant everywhere, and it is not peaceful at all. Most of the caravans need the help of martial cultivators to protect them, so naturally they are hoping for something good.”

“It’s just that we can’t wear such good clothes. It’s easy for us to be exposed.” Qi Tai took out four sets of clothes, each for a man and a woman. They were made of thin cotton, worn by ordinary people.

Qi Tai smiled shyly, “We bought it when we came back. We thought it would be safer to disguise ourselves.”

“Alright, thanks for your concern.” Mu Xiaoling took out a set of a woman’s clothes.

The three of them divided up the remaining clothes and returned to their rooms to have a good rest. After all, they didn’t know what would happen once they left tomorrow.

Early next morning, Mu Xiaoling changed into a new set of clothes and once again dyed her skin a sallow yellow. She then changed her hairstyle to make sure that her appearance wasn’t too conspicuous before stopping and leaving the house.

Feng Jiuyang, Tang Ling, and Qi Tai were already waiting outside. When Mu Xiaoling came out, Tang Ling immediately took a step back in alarm. “Who are you? Why did you come out from Little Ling’s room?”

Qi Tai also stared doubtfully at Mu Xiaoling.

Only Feng Jiuyang stared at Mu Xiaoling in surprise for a moment before asking suspiciously, “You are …” “Lady Mu?”

Tang Ling did not believe him. “How is that possible? There are two of them!”

Qi Tai, on the other hand, was a bit suspicious. He carefully observed Mu Xiaoling for a moment.

“It’s me.” Mu Xiaoling helplessly said, “My looks are too eye-catching. After all, we’ve travelled a long distance. It’s not appropriate. That’s why we have to disguise ourselves.”

“It’s really Little Ling’s voice.” Tang Ling’s eyes widened as she stared at Mu Xiaoling in shock. “So it could actually be like this!”

Mu Xiaoling chuckled. “I want to teach you later, but it’s time for us to leave. We can’t make it in time.”

“That’s right, that’s right. Let’s hurry and leave.” Tang Ling immediately pulled Mu Xiaoling outside. Feng Jiuyang and Qi Tai were startled by their fiery postures. They shook their heads and followed after them.

This caravan was almost ready, it took up a large area on the street, there were more than 10 carriages, each filled with goods. In addition, there were 30 horses that were saddled by wounded, more than 10 carriages by people, quite a number of people. There were more than 100 helpers, and more than 100 slaves, all stuffed into giant cages and placed on the carriages that were carrying goods.

With Tang Ling leading the way, Mu Xiaoling and the other three on their horses went to see the master of the caravan.

When he reached the front, he saw a middle-aged man in rich clothes being surrounded by five or six people, giving out orders one by one.

The four of them waited for a while longer before dismounting and walking over. Tang Ling looked at Mu Xiaoling and introduced, “This is the master of the caravan, his name is Zhuo Guang.”

Mu Xiaoling cupped her hands and said, “Boss Zhuo, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”

Zhuo Guang quickly cupped his hands together in greeting, “You are Miss Tang’s friends, you’re too courteous. Back then, without Miss Tang’s help, I would have long died in the hands of the bandits. Everyone can rest assured and follow the caravan.

Mu Xiaoling said, “Boss Zhuo, you’re too polite. It’s only natural.”

The several people exchanged a few more polite words, and not long after, another person came to look for Zhuo Guang. Zhuo Guang was truly busy, so the four didn’t disturb him and waited at the center of the group.

After a while, the arrangements seemed to have been made. There was a gong at the front and a gong in the middle. The caravan started moving slowly.

Boss Zhuo’s caravan was one of the few big caravans with many captains. In order to keep the order from getting out of hand, they used this gong to transmit the orders.” Tang Ling spoke confidently, as it was not the first time she had joined a caravan, “For example, one strike is a departure, two strikes is a rest, and three hits is an enemy attack.

This was the first time Feng Jiuyang had heard of this, so he was quite surprised: “So it is like this, it is indeed convenient.”

The team was vast and at first they started slowly, but because they weren’t riding a car, they were riding a horse. When they started running again, their speed would increase, and with fewer people on the streets, they would soon be out of the city.
