As dusk approached.
Li Hao and his companions galloped along the official road, occasionally passing tea stalls and small traders setting up their stalls by the road to provide resting spots for weary travelers.
On their journey, they also encountered Escort Agency Team transporting cargo, heroic adventurers from Jianghu eagerly joining forces to slay demons, as well as diligent farmers tending to their fields and small villages along the official road.
The verdant cypresses on both sides of the road stretched straight up, reaching for the blue sky and white clouds.
Coming across a tea stall, the enticing aroma of steaming dumplings made the riders pull on their reins.
"Shall we take a rest here?" Yu Wei asked attentively.
When Li Hao heard Li Yuanzhao's stomach growl, it was clear he was also hungry, and with a smile he said, "Let's go have something to eat first."
"It's getting dark; won't it be unsafe out here?" Du Qiuyue voiced her concerns with a hint of worry.
