On the official road, the strong wind swept the yellow sand into the sky, blowing fiercely.
Everyone bent over, sitting on their horses, using their arms to cover their mouths and noses, almost unable to open their eyes due to the wind and sand.
The original plan was to reach Tianshui County in two days. With the horses given by the border army, they started in the morning and saw the distant outline of Tianshui County by dusk.
Chen Ji rode over to Qi Zhenzhuo: "Tell everyone..."
Qi Zhenzhuo could not hear clearly in the wind and sand, so he leaned closer and shouted: "Master, what did you say?"
Chen Ji glanced at him and raised his voice: "Pass the order, we are now merchants fleeing from Guyuan, having lost our goods, seeking refuge in Taiyuan Prefecture. Before arriving in the Imperial Capital, address His Highness as 'Young Master'. Anyone who reveals His Highness's identity will be dealt with by military law."
