Right now, the eight continents of Great Xia-Long, Jing, and Yu-were all in the hands of Chu, and the remaining four continents were cut off from the southernmost Liao Province.

If they wanted to go to Great Zhou, Xu Han and the others had no choice but to pass through the blockade of the three continents. This was the first difficult problem before Xu Han and the others.

After discussing for a long time, the group finally decided to transit through Jing Zhou, arrive at Liao Zhou, and finally head to Great Zhou.

The reason for this decision, One was that Long Zhou was now the most important gateway to Chu, More than half of the army was stationed here, Compared to Long Zhou, Jing Zhou and Yu Zhou had fewer troops. Secondly, Li Moding Xian, Li Moding 's son, had been to Jing Zhou and had a good relationship with Jiang Zhichen's son Jiang Lai. Although Jiang Zhichen and Qiu Fan Ping had already submitted to Chu, this favor might be of some use if it really came to a last resort.

With this thought in mind, the crowd finally stepped into Jing Zhou's territory after 17 days, that is, at the beginning of August.

Although the checks at the border were extremely tight, under the prepared identities and the large amount of money, they still managed to enter Jing Zhou's territory safely.

On the first day, the group chose a small town called Phoenix Cloud Town on the border of Jing Zhou.

This small town wasn't any unusual place, so choosing to settle here was a good way to avoid some unnecessary troubles.

However, the people who made this choice smelled something different when they arrived at this small town.

When they arrived at Phoenix Cloud Town, it was dusk.

Logically speaking, the current Fengxia Town should be filled with people, but in fact, when they arrived at Fengxia Town, there were almost no pedestrians on the large streets, and even the shops were mostly closed. Vaguely, there seemed to be someone who was secretly observing the crowd within the cracks in the door. However, when Xu Han and the others cast their gazes towards that place, they all retreated back into the cracks like frightened birds.

"What's going on?" Fang Ziyu couldn't help but ask in surprise.

Hearing this, Li Moding said, "Great Xia is in such a big mess. Everyone in the Imperial Court is in danger. I'm afraid these ordinary people are even more at a loss. It's normal for them to be so cautious."

After getting along with Li Moding and his son for nearly half a month, although the crowd still had quite a bit of grudge against him, they were not as hostile as before. Hearing his words, the crowd nodded their heads in succession. There wasn't much wrong with such a statement.

Only a light flashed in Xu Han's eyes. He didn't seem to agree with Li Moding 's words, but he didn't raise the slightest bit of doubt. Instead, he noticed Li Ding Xian. This young prince, who was seven or eight years older than him, seemed to have noticed something as well. He lowered his head and frowned.

"Whatever the reason, let's find a place to eat first. After walking for a day, Grandpa Chu is so hungry that his chest is pressed against his back." Chu Chouli never cared about these things. In his eyes, the desire to speak was better than the collapse of the sky. He shouted loudly. After saying that, he turned his gaze around, trying to find a place that could satisfy his belly.

"Awoo!"

"Meow!"

Hearing this proposal, Xuan'er and Aowu immediately let out two loud shouts. Then, they looked at Xu Han eagerly. Naturally, they understood the meaning behind that, but they deeply agreed with Chu Chouli's proposal.

Xu Han shook his head helplessly and smiled, "Then let's do as Big Brother Chu wishes."

..

"Scram! I told you not to greet outsiders!"

With a furious roar, accompanied by a loud sound of the door closing, Hero Chu was pushed out of the door with a dirty face and fell to the ground.

"Grandpa Chu has plenty of money!" Chu Chouli, who was crawling up from the ground in a sorry state, shouted loudly in the direction of the door.

"Get lost!" However, another furious roar came from the room, completely covering up Chu Chouli's voice.

This was already the seventh merchant that had swept Chu Chouli out of the house. This Phoenix Cloud Town was really strange. There were no pedestrians on the streets. The restaurants did not open their doors to welcome guests. Even if Chu Chouli walked in shamelessly, he would inevitably be kicked out of the house.

After being scolded by the innkeeper, Chu Chouli turned his head to look at Xu Han and the others, only to see that everyone gave him sympathetic gazes. This was obviously unacceptable to Hero Chu. He straightened his back and muttered, "This town is really strange, rich or not. I wonder what exactly they are doing in running a shabby shop!"

"Hmph, why don't you blame yourself for being so fierce?" Little Nineteen glanced at Chu Chouli and said with disdain.

Chu Chouli was instantly enraged. He pointed at the gate and said, "Then you go and try."

Little Nineteen raised her pink face and said proudly, "Try it."

As he spoke, the little fellow squatted up in a decent manner, touched two handfuls of dirt on his face, and reached out to tamp his hair, causing Fang Ziyu's carefully groomed hair to be in a mess.

Then, she proudly winked at the dumbstruck Chu Chouli and said, "Take a good look."

Just like this, the little fellow walked to the inn with the closed door under the astonished gazes of everyone. Then, he tilted his body and fell straight to the ground. He said in a clear and tender tone, "Uncle, save me! Little Nineteen is going to starve to death!"

..

Fifteen minutes later, in the inn called Fulai in Phoenix Cloud Town.

Chu Chouli, who was stuffing his head into the food served by the innkeeper, had an ugly expression on his face. His mood was very complicated.

Not only was he overjoyed about this delicious meal, but he also secretly felt embarrassed because he couldn't compare to nineteen. Thus, Hero Chu, who had always been talkative, became much silent during this meal.

Shopkeeper Qian's wife, a lady in her early thirties, was currently holding Xiao Nineteen by the side. She held a chicken leg and fed it into Xiao Nineteen's mouth with a doting expression. She even said, "Eat slowly, Aunt Qian still has more."

Speaking of which, Little Nineteen's pitiful "tactics" did not work as well as he had imagined. Fortunately, when she was about to be kicked out of the shop by the shopkeeper, this lady boss suddenly appeared. Seeing Little Nineteen's pitiful appearance, she scolded her husband head-on before letting everyone in.

Xu Han ate something casually and filled his stomach. Then, he stood up and walked to the woman. He raised his glass and said, "Thank you, madam, for your righteousness. That's why we have enough food and clothing."

The woman glanced at Xu Han angrily when she heard this and said, "You said that you guys are all seven-foot-long men. How can you make a child starve? You guys can't stand it, little doll can't."

Naturally, Xu Han could see the woman's doting on Little Nineteen, so he naturally wouldn't refute her. He hurriedly nodded his head.

"We didn't expect this to happen in Fengxia Town. We dared to ask Madam what exactly happened in Fengxia Town."

When the woman heard this, her pampered face immediately turned ugly. Her gaze was strange and empty as she looked ahead. She muttered, "Phoenix Cloud Town."

"No.. The entire Jing Province has changed.."
