Prince Lu Wei closed his eyes and steadied his breathing. He pretended to be sleeping, but his senses were awake.
As the carriage went further away from Da Cheng's territory, Prince Lu Wei was starting to get anxious. He was left alone, now that he had departed with the guards. Prince Lu Wei knew that he needed to begin to be wary of his surrounding. Since his brother wanted to harm him, Ambassador Nian or anyone around him could take their chance to hurt him.
Since he had decided to leave Da Cheng, there was no one else he could rely on. Prince Lu Wei could only hope that the people sent by his grandmother will help him escape soon.
The carriage continued to move. After ten minutes, the scenery started to change. There were no longer shady trees around them. The landscape changed to green grassland. They will have to continue and travel across the plains for almost an hour before they arrive at a small town in Eastern Zhou.
