When Qiao Mu heard this, she put away the yellow summoning talisman before lifting a corner of the curtain and looking outside .
Yellow sand and thick earth were all that filled her eyes . She could vaguely see a sparse number of houses dotting the hazy sand-scape .
The western border truly was not as prosperous and wealthy as the Mo Kingdom .
Qiao Mu jumped down from the carriage and the chicken also flapped its wings, jumping to her side . Its slender feet joyously running forward .
“Up ahead is the small border town of the Qiu Kingdom . ” Uncle Wang was leading his horse . He said with relief, “Our whole journey has been rather smooth . Miss Qiao, let's go over there now . ”
Their journey had indeed been rather smooth, and they did not even encounter a single zombie within the borders of the Mo Kingdom, which Qiao Mu found somewhat unimaginable .
However, after leaving the Mo Kingdom and entering the Liang Kingdom, they ran into a small wave of zombies . Thankfully, their caravan escaped fast enough, so they did not have a direct confrontation with those zombies, wasting their energy .
“Miss Qiao, the further west you travel, the more you have to be careful . Although the Qiu Kingdom is a small kingdom, its monarch is brutal, tyrannical, and licentious, so his soldiers also rampage as they wish and extort from the common people…” Uncle Wang shook his head with a sigh . “We'll need to hand over some supplies when we pass by Pony Town . Sit inside the carriage and don't say a word, Miss Qiao . ”
Qiao Mu nodded and returned inside the carriage again . Big Cyan, aka that weak chicken, also jumped up and sat on its knees next to the child in a good emulation .
The carriage bounded toward Pony Town on the border of the Qiu Kingdom .
It naturally slowed down as it neared the town's entrance and followed the queue to enter .
There were not a lot of people waiting to enter the Qiu Kingdom .
Most of the population in the northern region of Sikong Planet were concentrated in the Mo Kingdom . Except for traveling merchants, very little normal refugees would escape to a tiny, arduous kingdom like the Qiu Kingdom in a bid for survival .
“What are you doing? What's in your hand? Hand it over!” The interrogating soldier ignored any protest and snatched the basket from an elderly woman's hands .
He lifted the cloth covering the basket, and a repulsive salted fish smell assaulted his nose . This was f*cking stinky, but she treated it like a treasure! The soldier was so angry that he smashed the basket onto the ground .

The elderly woman knelt down while weeping to pick up the salted fish that dropped onto the dirt . She was impatiently kicked by the Qiu soldier and tumbled to the side .
“Hurry and scram!”
“Line up properly! What are you looking at?” The soldier then turned to Uncle Wang's caravan, greed flitting through his eyes . “Come over, come over! Caravan, come over! What are you transporting?”
Uncle Wang handed a small bag of beans with a smile and quietly said next to the soldier's ear, “Brother, we're a trading company from the Mo Kingdom and have a contract with your esteemed country's Duanmu Trade Union to exchange merchandise . This is our official correspondence between the two kingdoms, as well as the letter of certification from Duanmu Trade Union . ”
The soldier glanced at Uncle Wang and took the documents to look at it . He did not dare to be too hard on them . After all, the Duanmu Trade Union was well-renowned in their Qiu Kingdom, and even the King of the Qiu Kingdom would tremble along if the patriarch of the Duanmu Family stomped his feet .
A minor soldier like him naturally did not dare to be hard on the guest of the Duanmu Trade Union . However, this tiny bag of beans that did not even amount to five pounds was truly too little . Once it was divided amongst him and his brothers, it was uncertain whether each person could get half a pound .
The soldier glanced at Uncle Wang . “According to the rules, we have to search the carriages . ”
Monkey furiously glared at the soldier but Uncle Wang dragged him to the side by his sleeves . Uncle Wang answered with a chuckle, “Sir Soldier, have a look . However, our miss is in the first carriage, so I hope you won't disturb her…”
