The owner of the carriage house Qin Li and his companions visited balked at the idea of crossing the battlefront and initially refused to agree. Only after Qin Li offered a substantial sum of gold did he finally nod.
The driver they sent was also a brave man tempted by a hefty reward.
Due to years of war, all contact between the two nations had essentially been severed. The borders were completely sealed. To cross, one not only had to bribe the border guards with silver but also find a sparsely populated route.
For Qin Li, however, this was no problem at all. He told the driver to take whichever road was most direct.
'Take the most direct road? Isn't that a death wish?!' the driver thought.
The most direct route between the New Qin Empire and the Great Qi Kingdom was also the most heavily fortified, with a massive military presence. A young master dressed like Qin Li, traveling with two devastatingly beautiful women, was practically serving himself up on a platter!
