As they left the mountains, a massively thick forest appeared right in front of them. As they continued their journey, they did not see another soul for the rest of the afternoon.
The carriage stopped for a break. Two guards went off to gather some firewood for cooking while another two proceeded to hunt for food. Su Jiu sat directly under a tree and opened the bag of snacks that the wet nurse had prepared for her. She placed a piece of mung bean cake into her mouth. The texture was soft and sweet as it instantly dissolved in her mouth.
Jin Feng stopped his carriage and went over to Su Jiu. She lifted her snack bag and laughed.
"Are you hungry?" she asked. "Eat some food to fill your stomach!"
Jin Feng immediately lowered his head and said, "As a subordinate, I dare not!"
"Dare not? Are you afraid that I've put poison inside?" Su Jiu raised an eyebrow as she questioned him. She regarded those who fought side by side with her as brothers.
