Travel during the day, stay at inns during the night.
When Su Liang and Ning Jing arrived at Pingbei City with their child, it was the tenth day of October, and there were only five days left before the Provincial Exam.
Pingbei City was the largest city in the northern part of Qian Country.
It was just past noon, and the city gates were bustling with people coming and going.
Exhausted from playing, Zhengzheng was sound asleep in the carriage.
Early in the morning, Su Liang had put on men's clothing and carefully applied makeup, looking like a young nobleman.
She lifted the carriage curtain and glanced outside at the towering city gate, which was much more grand than Bei'an County town.
There was a routine inspection at the city gate, so Su Liang hid Zhengzheng wrapped in a blanket behind her, not letting anyone see him.
Ning Jing, wearing a straw hat and gray coarse clothes, claimed to be a servant bringing his young master from Beiqing County for the exam.
