Chapter 943 Sympathies

"You left Northern Frontier when you were very young and lived in the capital alone? How did you survive all these years in the capital alone?"

Thinking about his similar situation to mine, he lost both his parents when he was young and depended on his grandfather for life.

It's just that she has been living alone in the courtyard since her grandfather passed away. Although he still has a grandfather, one is a hostage in the capital and the other is stationed at the border in the northern border. They are almost all alone without any relatives around them, so they feel a bit of sympathy for each other.

Mo Beihan lowered his eyes:

"Fortunately, I still have Zhou Bo to take care of me. Since I was thirteen, I have started to work for the emperor, using it as a cover to build up my own power. Later, with Mu Yi and Mu Er, I often go on missions, so I don't feel lonely."

Qiao Ran nodded.

It was similar for her. In her previous life, she was discovered by a special organization at the age of thirteen. After three years of brutal devil training, she began to go on missions in countries around the world.

Although going on a mission is dangerous, it is better than staying alone at home without anyone to talk to.

"You said the old prince was poisoned? Is poison also prevalent in the northern border?"

As far as she knows, southern Xinjiang's complex geographical location and humid climate lead to the breeding of various poisonous insects, which is why witchcraft is prevalent.

As for Northern Xinjiang, she had never heard of it.

Sure enough, Mo Beihan shook his head:

"Northern Frontier is close to Northern Desert. Northern Desert is cold, with ice and snow for most of the year. People there don't have enough food to eat, and it's hard to survive, not to mention plants, insects and animals. As far as I know, neither Northern Frontier nor Northern Desert is good at Gu, so none of our military doctors can remove Gu. I can only ask you to go and save Grandfather. But it's hard to say whether there is a hidden sect or family that is good at Gu and we haven't heard of it. It may also be a Gu master or Gu insect from other places."

Qiao Ran nodded:

"It seems that only by meeting my grandfather can I understand who cast the poison."

In order to reach the northern border as soon as possible, the two men traveled day and night.

Occasionally they would encounter ferocious beasts blocking the road or bandits robbing people, but with their martial arts and poison skills, there was no obstacle at all. They killed any beasts they saw and any bandits they encountered along the way.

In order to make it easier to ride a horse and avoid unnecessary trouble, Qiao Ran dressed like a man along the way.

But both she and Mo Beihan have outstanding looks.

Although she was a little short compared to a man, her face, which was prettier than a woman's, attracted a lot of bad luck in love.

Later, she tried her best to use dark foundation to make her skin rough and dark, which saved her a lot of trouble.

But Mo Beihan didn't want to put on makeup on his face, so he put on his black mask again.

The mask that covered most of his face, leaving only his eyes and forehead exposed, could not conceal his extraordinary demeanor.

However, he was always cold and ruthless when facing strangers. Therefore, even though many girls were attracted by his unique temperament, they did not dare to approach him and talk to him. They could only stand far away and stare at him.

However, there are always some ignorant people who are not afraid of death and take the initiative to provoke.

When passing a small county town that day, because Mo Beihan said that people in this area like to raise sheep, Qiao Ran thought about going to the market to buy some sheep and put them into the space to take to the northern border.

Along the way, Mo Beihan would tell her about the local specialties, and if she wanted to buy something, she would go into the city with him to buy it.

It is bitterly cold in the northern border, so supplies must be scarce.

Although the space was already filled with gold, silver, treasures, and food, there were not many daily necessities such as cotton-padded clothes, cotton-padded shoes, cotton-padded quilts, meat, fish, charcoal, firewood, lamp oil, and kerosene.

So buy them whenever you have the chance along the way, in case you can't buy them in northern Xinjiang or they are too expensive.

Because it is autumn now and winter is not far away, and the weather gets colder the further north you go, so Qiao Ran stocked up a lot of winter supplies along the way.

Now that I hear there are sheep, I naturally want to buy some.
