Sunset, ancient road, west wind, and a thin horse! This is a truly thin horse, not the one from Yangzhou later on. There are also three people, walking on the road, their shadows stretching long, very long, under the sunset!
There is no poetic scenery; the road is overgrown with weeds, showing how desolate the place is, with few passersby. The weeds stubbornly grow out from under the gravel.
Qin Mu was very tired, but he had no choice but to keep moving forward. This was not the peaceful era of the future; to find stability, he had to quickly find the old master, the famous old master.
The thin horse carried the luggage of the three people, and it was clearly impossible for him to ride it, especially since the horse was as thin as a mule.
They came from a remote small village, almost isolated from the world. Although the villagers all asked them to stay, saying they would take good care of them, they still followed the last wish of the body's mother and went to seek relatives.
Fortunately, the relative was very famous, and Qin Mu knew exactly where he was.
In fact, Qin Mu was not from this world. He didn't know why, but when he woke up, he found himself in this world. However, tragically, as soon as he woke up, the mother of the original owner of this body was critically ill, leaving a last wish, an old servant, and an old woman.
They inquired along the way, heading towards Youzhou. Although the distance was not far, only a few counties away, given the situation where communication relied on shouting and transportation on walking, they had already been traveling for over ten days.
Qin Mu knew this was the Tang Dynasty, but it was different from his memory. From the cities they passed through, he learned that it was now the first year of the Zhenguan era. Last year, a significant event indeed occurred: Li Shimin, originally the King of Qin, ascended to the throne.
It was already April, and if he remembered correctly, the relative he was going to seek should have died in January, according to both official and unofficial histories.
That's right! Qin Mu was already very certain that he had traveled to the Tang Dynasty, because the relative he was going to seek was Yan Wang Luo Yi! Although they lived in a remote village, his mother did not know that Luo Yi was the Duke of Yan, but the information they gathered confirmed that Luo Yi was the Duke of Yan and lived in Youzhou.
However, this place was different from historical records. According to the books, Luo Yi rebelled in January of the first year of the Zhenguan era and was eventually killed. It was already April, and they were in the territory of Youzhou. If such a significant event had occurred, there would have been some rumors.
There was another issue: Qin Mu had already learned that the father of this body was the famous Qin Qiong, but Qin Qiong had no connection with Luo Yi, and any connection was only fabricated in the legends. This left him somewhat at a loss, unsure of what was happening in this world.
The best course of action was to follow his mother's last wish and seek out Luo Yi, at least this was a very accurate piece of information.
"Big Brother! Just a little more, I heard there's a Taoist temple ahead, we can stay there for the night," Wang Ma said.
Although they had known each other for half a month, Qin Mu still wasn't used to being called "Big Brother." His lips twitched, and he smiled, saying, "It's fine, Mother Wang, I can keep going."
"We are already in Wuzhong County. In another two or three days, we will see the old master," Wang Ma said with a happy smile. This was the first time Qin Mu had seen her smile in so many days, clearly the fate of the three of them had been a heavy burden for her.
The old servant wasn't really old, just honest. Apart from following orders and working, he didn't do much else and rarely expressed his opinions, which was why Wang Ma had to worry so much. She always felt that one was a young master who had never
