Secular Immortal of the Nine Realms Chapter 43: Longdu Noble

“Young master, we’ll be reaching Great Xia in half a day’s time. Are we heading straight for the capital?” Tie Ma surveyed their surroundings before asking.

“We’ll head straight back to the capital,” Fang Chen’s voice sounded from the carriage.

Tie Ma nodded.

Just as he was about to crack the whip, he felt light tremors from the ground and frowned. These tremors felt familiar to him. Cavalrymen, and there’s a lot of them. At least a hundred.

Old Huang had arrived at the same conclusion too, and his face turned severe. “Why would cavalrymen appear by the borders?”

“We’re living in tumultuous times. It could be bandits,” Tie Ma said. “Let’s not get involved since the young master is here with us today. Let’s rush back to the capital.”

Old Huang thought those words made sense, so they cracked their whips and made haste.

An arrow was fired, and it nearly shot one of the escaping guards.

“Longdu’s cavalrymen.” Tie Ma’s face darkened. Why would there be Longdu’s cavalrymen by Great Xia’s boundary?

“Judging from their direction of travel, they came from Longdu’s hunting plains. It looks like a Longdu noble is hunting down our Great Xia’s merchant,” Old Huang said with a frosty voice.

Tie Ma and Old Huang leaped off the carriage and charged ahead. They were not worried about Fang Chen’s safety at all.

Fang Chen drew out his soul and impassively watched the situation from above.

The pursuer comprised at least a hundred Longdu cavalrymen, with an extravagant chariot at the center.
