Even the horses could not take it anymore.
After traveling for so many days in a row, both the humans and the horses were already exhausted.
Long Yang and Lu Liangwei decided to stay the night at the West Water Frontier so that everyone could get some much-needed rest.
Long Yang did not want to startle the frontier town’s soldiers, so he took Lu Liangwei to an inn as discreetly as he could.
When they arrived at the West Water Frontier, it was already dusk.
The West Water Frontier bordered the Yan Kingdom. Due to the trade relationship between the two kingdoms, many merchants would gather at the West Water Frontier, hence the teeming streets.
After having dinner and resting for a while, Lu Liangwei dragged Long Yang out of the inn to explore the town with her.
Lu Liangwei did not wear any hair ornaments for the convenience of traveling. Her long hair was put up in a bun, and she wore a simple dress, which made her appear even younger than she was.
Moreover, because of the height difference between her and Long Yang, no one would imagine that they were husband and wife.
It was not because Long Yang looked old; in fact, he still looked young even though he was already thirty-one. However, his strapping figure and intimidating aura only further highlighted Lu Liangwei’s youthfulness.
They strolled along the streets hand in hand, just like any ordinary couple.
“Would you like to buy a jade ornament, little girl?” Seeing them walk over, the vendor of a jade ornament stall seized the opportunity to solicit business.
Lu Liangwei smiled and waved a hand to reject him.
She was already a mother of three, not some little girl.
Instead of feeling disheartened, the vendor—a young fellow—turned to Long Yang eagerly. “Sir, you can’t let your beautiful sister go about without a single hair ornament, can you? Won’t you buy her a jade hair stick?”
Lu Liangwei was taken aback by his words, and sure enough, she saw the man’s face darken right away.
