The marching procession finally returned to its normal speed.

I watched as the shape of the mountain peaks behind me became smaller and smaller, and after a bend, I disappeared from view.

A vast expanse of wasteland began to emerge on the side of the avenue, like a baked cake base, dotted with low bushes.

Mo Yutian wore a dark red patterned curly coat with layers of hems, making her feel like an egg cone.

Chen Shu is similar to her, and her red sleeves are dressed in short brown, which looks much neater.

Gusts of cool breeze whistled across the ground, bringing up bursts of dim and blurred dust, which made it even more desolate and withered.

A huge area is uninhabited.

Mo Yu looked at the endless loess, worried, I heard the system mention before, this is the territory of the Yue country.

But she has no concept of this geographical location, and now looking at this scenery, I am afraid that it is on the Loess Plateau.

She was originally from the south, and she was a little repulsed by the weather in the north, which was dry and cold, and the wind hurt her face. What's more, there will definitely be no heating at this time, how will you survive the winter at that time!

Worried, the voice of the red sleeves approaching suddenly came to his ears: "Miss, we are almost there." ”

Mo Yu poured back into his senses, and when he heard this, he craned his neck and poked his head out to look ahead.

A hundred-meter-long wall stands in the middle of the desert.

At this time, the carriage was still hundreds of meters away from the city wall, and judging from the grid structure of the land on both sides, it should be a piece of farmland used for cultivation, but it looked like it had been deserted for a long time, and only some completely destroyed agricultural tools were scattered in the middle.

The houses nestled in the deserted fields are in ruins.

Mo Yu originally thought about how Shuiyun City would be prosperous, but he didn't expect it to be such a sad scene.

As the carriage moved forward slowly, she soon saw that there were a number of simple thatched huts on both sides of the road a hundred meters outside the city gate.

These houses have no doors, windows, or walls, and are as simple as a few sticks and bamboo sticks to prop up a large thatched mat. You can clearly see that there are many people squatting in each room, adults and children, and even babies in their arms.

These people are all yellow-skinned, ragged, glazed-eyed, and have a loveless look.

- I think it's the homeless people that Red Sleeves mentioned earlier, right?

There was a foul smell in the air, and Mo Yu frowned and stretched out his hand to cover his nose.

"Phew!"

In a few moments, the carriage drove not far in front of the city wall and stopped.

"Miss Mo, Shuiyun City has arrived." Wei Ziqi drove his horse to the car window and said a little apologetically, "Wei must go to Linyuan City first to receive the bounty for exterminating the bandits, so he can only wait here." As for the luggage, Wei Long and Wei Hu will be sent to the house. ”

Mo Yu listened and nodded: "Go, remember to come to me after receiving the bounty and return the 250 taels quickly, I can also return the jade pendant to you, it's useless to put me here." ”

“…… All right. Wei Ziqi looked depressed and turned to greet his men.

Hearing the conversation between them, the soldier beside Wei Ziqi whispered.

"What kind of chief gave her the jade pendant that he wore closely?"

"Wow, how many girls in the capital want it, and she doesn't want it yet."

Mo Yu turned a deaf ear, got out of the carriage with the support of the red sleeves, and walked into the city gate with a "limp".

This section of the gray-white city wall, neatly stacked with large strips of stone, must have exceeded the height of a four-story building at its highest point, and stood majestically. The heavy walls are littered with dents of varying shades, and in some places there are obvious traces of filling in different colors.

The arched city gate does not have the bustling scene of traffic in costume dramas, only sparse pedestrians entering and exiting, interspersed with a few human-pulled flatbed trucks.

There were two guards guarding the gates of the city, and one of them chatted without saying a word, as if they did not care about the people who came in and out, but as soon as a beggar-like homeless approached, their attitude changed suddenly, and they were immediately expelled, as if they had a disease on them, and they were afraid that they would infect themselves.

Mo Yutian raised his head to look at the two inscriptions above the city gate, which were made of crooked lines, which were somewhat similar in shape to the Chinese character "water cloud".

She was shocked to realize that she didn't recognize the words here.
