After the sun had set, the sky remained dark for a long time before it was replaced by night.
On a slightly higher mountain slope, the diplomatic corps lit a bonfire and set up their tents.
The women did not get out of the carriage. They slept in the carriage with a thin blanket wrapped around them. Xu Qi 'an and the other high-ranking officials slept in the tents. The guards at the bottom level slept around the bonfire.
Fortunately, it was the middle of spring, so the night was neither hot nor cold. It was quite comfortable when the wind blew. It was just that there were a lot of mosquitoes, and they liked these "fat sheep" with strong bodies.
"Pa pa" sounds were heard continuously as the soldiers cursed and chased away the mosquitoes.
When Xu Qi 'an returned from his patrol and saw this scene, he knew that the diplomatic mission did not have any herbs to repel mosquitoes. At most, they had some medicine for wounds and commonly used detoxification pills.
