After the carriage left Xiangyang Town, it continued ahead at top speed. For lunch, everyone ate some dried food in the carriage, casually taking care of it.
As they approached Xijiu City on the official road, the amount of rushing people and carriages grew. The people in the nearby villages and towns must have all gathered in Xijiu City.
Late evening, Qiao Mu's company arrived at Xijiu City's city gate.

"It looks like we will have to wait a while." Qiao Zhongxing pulled the reins and slowed the horse.
The people in line were all conversing with each other and scouting for information. When they learned that other people's villages or towns were attacked by monsters at the same time, they all made sounds of lament.
