  Song Chuyi had a deep understanding of the speed of information dissemination at that time. The news spread through the Qiren channel was the fastest, except for the military order transmission by fast horse relay, and it also covered a wide range.

  But even so, ten days or half a month is still not enough time for it to spread everywhere.

  Guiling is not far from the capital of Wei State, Song Chu made an estimate of the time, she can only wander around here for three days at most, and if it takes any longer, there may be unexpected branches.

  The merchant team drove out of the city of Guilin and arrived at a desolate wilderness where no one was around. Ji Yu immediately urged his horse to get closer to Song Chuyi's carriage, "Sir, why do you want to go to Daliang?"

  "Who says we have to go to Daliang, heading in the direction of Daliang, walking slowly, looking for a boy around fifteen years old, and then turning back after three days to continue westward," said Song.

  Because of unclear words, he fell silent for a moment, and then asked "Why?"

  "Didn't General Shi tell you? This trip to Qin is not our final destination, after Qin we will head to Zhao, Qi, Han and Chu. We mustn't let the King of Wei discover our true identities. I have my reasons for doing this." Song Chu paused for a moment before continuing, "Also, instruct everyone that from now on, anyone who speaks with a Puyang accent is to be silenced for the next few days."

  "Hey!" The order was given, and people relayed this command to each other.

  At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, it was clear that the possibility of finding him was very small. At this time, hiding was the simplest thing to do, and casually digging into any desolate mountain or wilderness, even with the efforts of the whole country, it was not certain that he could be found.

  Song Chu had thought about it repeatedly, and it was unlikely that Zhao Yi Lou would be in You Qiao's hands. She seemed to have important things to do with the handsome man going to Chu State at the beginning, if Zhao Yi Lou was still there, she wouldn't appear within the borders of Wei State.

  But for the sake of his son, Song Chu initially ordered the merchant team to stay outside the city for half a day, and had Ji Bian bring a few people back secretly to confirm whether there was a handsome man in Yu Qiao's team.

  Ji Bian returned at noon, bringing back the message: Yu Qiao's team of escorts had only one carriage, and the rest were horses and guards. He lay in wait for a morning, and told Song Chuyi everything about Yu Qiao's whereabouts. In the end, Song Chuyi confirmed that she indeed didn't have any handsome men with her.

  Based on his understanding of Zhao Yi Lou, Song Chu Yi instructed them to focus their search in the remote mountains and forests over the next few days. However, they also couldn't venture too deep. Although Song Chu Yi had thought of this plan to kill two birds with one stone, he still needed to weigh the pros and cons carefully.

  The sky was cold and the ground was frozen, but Song Chuyi ignored Ji Zhe's dissuasion and insisted on riding his horse.

  In the early Song Dynasty, I had suffered all kinds of hardships in my previous life. Having a horse to ride was already good enough; it's better than running with two legs.

  Her body in this life is far inferior to that of her previous life. It's precisely because of this that she doesn't intend to pamper herself even more.

  The cold wind was howling, like a sharp blade cutting through the skin. Even Jianyu and Jixian, men who were used to marching, couldn't help but feel a bit overwhelmed. But Song Chu'er, on the other hand, had transformed from his usual lazy self into a resilient pine tree, standing firm in the wind, as if he was a completely different person.

  Song Chuyi had been searching for two days, and he was riding a horse all along.

  It's strange that Song Chu didn't come to tease him for the past two days, but instead he felt like something was missing and his whole body felt uncomfortable. He had also been secretly observing Song Chu, only to see her frowning even more tightly than on the first day, with a serious expression that he had never seen before. However, in the strong wind, her sleeves fluttered, her hair disheveled, and she unexpectedly had an untamed air about her.

  For a moment, Lin Xiang thought that Song ChuYi, whether it was her usual careless appearance or her current serious and solemn one, had an inexplicable charm. But this feeling only lasted for a moment.

  By the third day, a faint disappointment appeared in Song Chuyi's eyes, which were usually devoid of any particular emotions. Before nightfall, she led a few people on horseback to search for clues in a nearby mountain valley, but still found nothing.

  Song Chuoyi pursed her dry, cracked lips, feeling quite unwilling to give up. She had clearly obtained a clue, and Zhao Yilou might be hiding in some cave nearby, but now she could only choose to abandon the search.

  Ji Yu was moved by her persistence and saw her silently getting off the horse to prepare for the carriage, couldn't help but say "Sir, can we find another day?"

  At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, she rubbed her frozen fingers like a radish and opened her mouth to answer, but pulled on the frozen crack on her lip. She gritted her teeth, glanced at Ji Yu, and said after a while, "If you can't find it, forget it, it's not important."

  How hypocritical! The expressions on everyone's faces all accused Song Chu Er of being a villain.

  Song Chu rode the horse carriage, turned his head to look at him and shouted "What's that expression? Hurry up, waiting for Prince Wei to invite you to a grand feast!"

  He repaid kindness with enmity and set another vicious plan in his heart, then turned over and mounted his horse.

  The caravan continued westward after three days of wandering.

  Song Chuoyi leaned against the couch, holding Baijian in her arms. In just a few days, Baijian had gained a lot of weight. Her hand was placed on the soft fur for a while, and the frostbitten area began to feel slightly itchy and numb.

  She didn't spend much time with Zhao Yilou, but after she suffered the greatest blow in her life, Zhao Yilou gave her complete and utter trust. Perhaps this is why she kept thinking of him.

  The horse carriage stopped for a moment. Song Chuanyi withdrew his thoughts and saw that the snow had fallen all over his body, so he got on the horse carriage.

  "Teacher." Akakawa bowed slightly and placed a fox-fur glove and a bottle of medicine on the table.

  Song Chu glanced at it and took the medicine bottle, saying "I don't need protection, you can keep it for yourself, I have Baizhan. Is this frostbite medicine?"

  "Hmm, our Matsumoto family's secret recipe." Matsumoto said with a proud smile.

  At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, he bluntly said, "I'll take this as a joke."

  Taro Yamada hesitated for a moment, but couldn't resist his curiosity and asked, "Teacher wants to find someone? What kind of person is it? Our family has some connections in the business world, maybe we can help."

  "Not bad, you've learned your lesson." Song Chu smiled and said "Don't be discouraged, young man. Maybe with more effort next time, you'll really succeed."

  He let out a sigh of relief and asked, "How did you figure it out?"

  He thinks he's very sincere, 70% true and 30% fake, but even this can be seen through, it's too ridiculous!

  Song Chu took the hot towel handed over by Jian, wiped his hands and said carelessly, "I didn't see it coming, just a casual joke earlier, young man, you're too impatient."

  Bai Gu was choked with a mouthful of air, and indeed lost as expected, but this time the loss was too unjust!

  Song Chu applied the medicine and ordered Jian to unfold the map.

  After a while, Hanyang said, "Teacher, you haven't taught for three days."

  "Hmm, I teach every day, are you sure you're getting it?" Song Chu's gaze wandered between Han and Wei on the map, slowly saying "I gave you three days to think about it, looks like not much progress."

  Although Hei Feng's face turned black, even if there was no progress, couldn't he have put it more tactfully?

  "Alright!" Song Chuai banged his hand on the table and called out "Ji Yu."

  "Yes." Yuxiang replied.

  "Let's head straight to Yuangong, without stopping along the way." Song said.

  Korea is in the middle of Wei, dividing Wei's land into two halves. Yuan Yang is a city belonging to Korea, located at the easternmost end of its territory. From here, it takes only about five days to pass through without stopping.

  Song Chu was thinking about whether he should pay a visit to Lord Han first.
