Chapter 1819 Smooth Journey
"I have told you many times that my cousin is a cultivator with great magical powers. He can go without food or water for ten days or half a month without any effects. He can sleep for twelve days and wake up for twelve days!"

"This is true. He is not dead. You have to believe me. That's the only way I can tell the public!"

"I definitely won't harm my cousin!"

"Stop shoveling food into his mouth. He can't swallow it now!"

……

The atmosphere in the carriage was rather strange.

Rong Tianding was used to Zhang Xuezhou falling asleep and waking up from time to time, but Rong Li was not used to it.

Rong Li knew that Zhang Xuezhou had the habit of going to bed on time, but she didn't expect that Zhang Xuezhou's punctuality was so outrageous.

At first she thought that Zhang Xuezhou was miserable, hungry and tired, so it was not surprising that he only slept for a day and a night. However, she didn't expect that Zhang Xuezhou slept so long that she was terrified.

These days, Rong Li often secretly fed Zhang Xuezhou something to eat and drink while Rong Tianding was asleep, and she also took out a butcher knife in the middle of the night and made a lot of gestures to calm him down.

However, when she was about to do something this time, she was caught red-handed by Rong Tianding who was waiting for Zhang Xuezhou at the right time.

"Ugh~"

Rong Tianding explained a lot to Rong Li, but Zhang Xuezhou turned over and vomited.

Zhang Xuezhou vomited out a large pile of filth mixed with various miscellaneous foods, and the carriage was filled with a foul smell for a while.

"Oh my god, you are trying to kill my cousin. What's wrong with you? I told you that my cousin is a great monk, but you didn't listen!"

"Xuezhou only survived because I killed him with my sword and took his soul away!"

"You're still putting a butcher knife behind your cousin's head?"

There is a huge difference in cognition between monks and ordinary people. Rong Tianding only felt that the carriage journey seemed to be safe, but Zhang Xuezhou's life was almost hanging by a thread.

He could only be thankful that when Zhang Xuezhou was not moving, he really was not moving. If Ye Meng had turned over slightly, Zhang Xuezhou's head would have been cut into a big gash.

"Cousin, you have to show my mom some skills, or this matter won't end there!"

Rong Tianding quickly handed him the water, and he couldn't help but have a headache.

The Shijiao school he inherited was mostly related to life and death. The techniques used either took the lives of the living or controlled the dead, and were not suitable for demonstration.

If ten or eight zombies don't come out, he won't be able to show his power.

This also caused Rong Li to completely disbelieve that Rong Tianding had acquired great abilities in just a few years.

In particular, Rong Li has always been worried about Rong Tianding. She feels that Rong Tianding has learned some crooked ways in the world and has become a bad person. She has been educating Rong Tianding a lot along the way.

He had a headache at this time, and was also glad that the person who made his mother obedient finally woke up.

"Where are we?"

"We have taken the official road all the way and have already arrived in Henan County!"

"Henan County!"

Zhang Xuezhou was not familiar with Henan County, but he thought it was a good name. He woke up in time and was finally not killed by Rong Li's care.

"There are two huge mountains here, Taihang and Wangwu, and the official roads are inconvenient to travel on. Otherwise, we should be able to travel faster." Rong Tianding said, "Now we are still about 800 miles away from Luoyang, and Chang'an City is nearly 1,500 miles away!"

"It's already pretty fast, faster than I thought," Zhang Xuezhou said, "I thought we were only halfway there!"

"Your cousin said that you were seriously ill, and he took official documents to ask the local officials to do something. We have changed our mounts eight times, and the people driving our carriages have also been changed eight times. There are also four soldiers on horseback guarding us behind us," Rong Li said nervously.

She glanced at Jia Zhiyuan who was sleeping soundly in the carriage, and was inevitably furious. She pulled Jia Zhiyuan's ear to wake him up. "It's been a long journey," Rong Tianding said, "The sooner we get back to Chang'an City, the sooner we can settle down!"

"That's what my cousin said!"

The official mounts taken from Luoyang were recorded, but they were not irreplaceable. Rong Tianding's method of changing horses along the way was suitable for emergencies.

Although there was a bit of abuse of power, Zhang Xuezhou had to say that Rong Tianding did a great job.

After twelve days of traveling day and night, they had almost completed two-thirds of the journey.

Even if Zhang Xuezhou and others traveled slowly in the carriage, he would be able to reach Chang'an City within the twelve-day period of wakefulness.

If Zhang Xuezhou uses the flying technique, this time will be greatly reduced.

He looked at the towering Wangwu Mountain in the distance, and gave up the idea of ​​returning to Chang'an City quickly.

Rong Tianding used the excuse of his serious illness to obtain emergency help from officials along the way within their authority. The carriage was still running at this time, and Zhang Xuezhou also needed to meet the relevant requirements, at least before reaching the next stop.

"Look, my cousins ​​all say that I do a good job," Rong Tianding said happily.

"Is your body really alright?" Rong Li asked worriedly, "Don't always put your cousin first. He's a scoundrel who never learned his lesson since he was young!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, am I driving too fast?"

They had just exchanged a few words when a voice from outside the carriage came asking questions.

"It's good that the carriage is shaking a bit. It just shakes out the thing stuck in my throat and allows me to breathe a sigh of relief," said Zhang Xuezhou.

"Master Dongfang?"

The unusual sound in the carriage was transmitted outside the carriage, and the coachman's eyes widened. He wanted to whip the horse faster, but he was afraid that the official holding the court documents would get injured in the bumpy ride.

Official documents from the imperial court were not universally accepted throughout the Han Dynasty, and some vassal states even ignored them.

But in the past few months, the major vassal states have clearly shown more respect for the imperial court and have been very cooperative when it comes to some minor, harmless matters.

Taking a few horses and a few soldiers to escort hundreds of miles is not a big deal, but many people also want to know what the mission of this official document given by the new emperor is. The official who is worthy of the mission has to go back and forth in the territory of the Han Dynasty and even make the other party sick.

The soldiers and coachmen involved in the escort along the way were all skilled, and some of them were retainers, most of whom came with a purpose.

"Are you feeling better?" asked the driver.

"The coachman is actually a True Spirit Realm warrior. Has Henan County become so extravagant?"

"There are robbers on this official road. I, Zhang An, am ordered by Lord Du Zhou to protect Lord Dongfang along the way!"

The curtain of the carriage had not even been drawn, but Lord Dongfang in the carriage had already determined his cultivation level.

This only proves that the other party's cultivation level is higher than Zhang An's, and even more so.

Even though he was lying sick, Lord Dongfang in the carriage still brought some pressure to Zhang An.

When Zhang An spoke, he quickly introduced his home and where he came from to avoid any possible bad involvement.

"Du Zhou? I remember this name!"

Zhang Xuezhou responded, indicating that he had remembered the master behind Zhang An.

Du Zhou might be a cultivator in the Creation Realm or a Transformation Realm, as he could make a True Spirit Realm cultivator work as a groom. However, it is likely that he has difficulty in finding an official career in Henan County, so he has to look for opportunities everywhere.

Zhang Xuezhou did not form cliques for personal gain in the court. When he said remembering names, he really meant it.

But this ambiguous statement made Zhang An extremely excited.
