Just like Li Cong thought, after they left the official road, the journey to Qi State was smooth.
The further they went, the farther they were from Zhenzhou.
Li Cong could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
He was different from Xiao Chi, who was ruthless and never weighed his options. If it weren't for their godfather scheming behind the scenes, Xiao Chi would have fallen into the hands of the Daqi people long ago.
Li Cong smiled inwardly. Being cautious by nature, after avenging Xiao Chi this time, he would be the most reliable among the Thirteen Grand Protectors in their godfather's hands.
They passed two checkpoints, and as it gradually grew dark, looking ahead, there were fewer and fewer travelers on the official road, likely finding their own places to rest.
Li Cong waved his hand, thinking that after a bit more walking, he should meet the people from Qi State who were coming to meet him.
