Shi Yi stood alone on a barren mountain, he finally rejected Han Zongyu's kindness, the road ahead was very little for Shi Yi, and he didn't want to drag Han Zongyu into the water.

At this time, more than two months have passed since the last inheritance trial, and in the past two months, Shi Yi has set off from the territory of Qingguo and traversed the entire Yan Kingdom, and now he is finally approaching the junction of the Yan Kingdom and the Liu Kingdom.

This is still the result of Shi Yi's day and night, and he did not dare to slack off on the road, otherwise the time spent on this trip would be even more.

Although Shi Yi was a little tired from the endless journey day and night, he finally arrived at the place within the time limit, and Shi Yi breathed a sigh of relief when he thought of this.

At the same time, Shi Yi looked ahead, in front of the position of about five miles, a high mountain towering, Shi Yi had already done the investigation, this mountain is called Maruyama is the border between the Yan country and the Liu country, as long as you cross this mountain, you can reach the territory of the Liu country.

Unfortunately, however, the place where the Yuanjing vein was discovered was also near Maruyama, which has now become the place where the fierce fighting between the monks of Yan and Yanagi is fierce.

As the old man said, it is very dangerous to forcibly cross Maruyama, not to mention whether the monks of the Yan Kingdom will stand by and let Shi Yi cross the border, just if the monks of the Liu Kingdom do not do it, they will treat Shi Yi as an enemy.

Faced with this situation, Shi Yi couldn't think of a good solution for a while, not to mention that he was really a little difficult to travel day and night along the way, anyway, he was still rich in time, so he simply settled down in the nearby villages and towns first, and it was not too late to explore the situation.

Thinking of this, Shi Yi no longer hesitated, and turned back to the nearest town nearby.

This is the first time Shi Yi has entered the town since he entered the Yan Kingdom, and in order to be in a hurry, Shi Yi encountered the cities and towns, and he generally did not enter.

Having said that, when Shi Yi stepped into this town, he still noticed that there was something strange about this place, because it was so deserted, half of the shops on the streets were closed, and there were no pedestrians on the roads.

However, Shi Yi thought about it and made it a little clear, this is located on the border, and the monks of the two countries have been fighting here intermittently for more than ten years, and all the monks are worried about how to cross the border of Yanliu, let alone ordinary people.

Naturally, there will be no caravans passing by the obstruction of the road ahead, and it seems reasonable that this kind of border town is so deserted.

Thinking about these things like this, Shi Yi soon came to an inn.

Shi Yi stepped on the door and prepared to book a room, so he had a good rest first.

However, to Shi Yi's surprise, the shopkeeper of this inn actually told Shi Yi that the guest rooms were all full.

In this way, Shi Yi had to change to another one, but when he arrived at the second inn, Shi Yi still got the reply that it was full.

"Shopkeeper, I see that this town is unusually deserted, and it doesn't look like there is a large flow of foreign tourists at all, you can't deliberately prevaricate me, right?" Shi Yi asked the innkeeper with a suspicious look on his face and a tone of disbelief.

"Where is the guest officer, I am really wronged, it is indeed full, I can still lie to you, besides, the room is empty, can I still get along with the money. The shopkeeper said with an aggrieved face.

"Oh, tell me who these guests are. Hearing this, Shi Yi also felt that what the shopkeeper said was reasonable, and it didn't seem like he was lying to him again, so he eased his tone and asked.

"Most of them are business travelers, and they have been living here for almost half a month. The shopkeeper did not hesitate and said to Shi Yi.

"Isn't the trade route between Yan Country and Liu Kingdom closed for a long time, and what are these people's plans for coming here?" Shi Yi couldn't help but ask strangely when he heard this.

"Guest officer, don't you know, some time ago there was news that the country of Yan wanted to restart the trade route, and these caravans that got the news naturally flocked to it, hoping to seize the opportunity.

Hey, the monks of the two countries have been at war all these years, but we businessmen have cried, and for a while the business was too lonely, I planned to sell the inn and return to my hometown to farm......" The shopkeeper explained while complaining to Shi Yi.

"Restart the trade route!" Shi Yi suddenly came to his senses when he heard this, and quickly opened his mouth to interrupt the shopkeeper's chatter.

"Who knows, it has been half a month since the news circulated, and a small number of caravans with poor financial resources have left here, and now those who remain here to continue to wait and see are some relatively large merchant groups. The shopkeeper glanced at Shi Yi with some resentment, obviously having some opinions on Shi Yi interrupting him to complain, but he still said truthfully.

Hearing this, Shi Yi couldn't help but be a little disappointed, regardless of whether the Yan Kingdom really planned to reopen the border trade with the Liu Kingdom, thinking about the caravan people who had been waiting in the inn for half a month and had not yet received the news.

Shi Yi felt that he would not be able to take this free ride, and his time was too short, unless the border trade was completely opened in a few days.

Thinking of this, Shi Yi couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, where could there be such a coincidence, it was just a pipe dream.

Shi Yi waved away such unrealistic ideas and found the third inn again, but fortunately, this one did not turn him away again, and there were still the remaining vacant rooms Shi Yi moved in smoothly.

............

After sleeping until dawn, Shi Yi walked out of the room and planned to eat something first.

In order to save time along the way, his meals were all dealt with dry food on his own, which was okay for his stomach, but the taste was really not good.

Now that it is rare to enter the town, Shi Yi plans to treat himself to how good he is going to eat.

As soon as Shi Yi ordered a few side dishes, he found that groups of people came and went in groups, coming and going in a hurry, and his eyebrows revealed joy.

As the shopkeeper brought the food to the table, Shi Yi asked casually:

"Why are these people in such a hurry early in the morning, what happened?"

"Oh, they, I also heard it early in the morning, and it is said that the official finally spat out that the border trade route would be reopened in three days, and that their caravan was now preparing to leave, which is why it seemed so hasty. The shopkeeper looked at the sumptuous dishes in front of Shi Yi, and knew that this was a rich young master, so he didn't dare to slack off fifty and hurriedly replied with a smile.

"Is the business route really going to restart in three days?" Shi Yi couldn't help but be a little dizzy by this huge surprise when he heard this, could it be that he was going to run in time.

If this is the case, then Shi Yi disguised himself as an ordinary person and blended into the caravan, he would be able to easily reach the country of Liu, and all the difficulties in front of him would be solved.

"Well, it does, but it is rumored that the first ones allowed to clear the customs were only the caravans that were trafficking in grain. The shopkeeper told everything he knew.

Shi Yi calmed down his somewhat excited mood, and threw a silver ingot to the shopkeeper, watching the other party leave with joy, Shi Yi began to think about how to blend in with a caravan transporting grain while eating......
