Around four in the morning, Mu Yangling woke Bowen and Xiuhong up. The cold wind outside was chilly enough to freeze people to death, but she still decided to set off now. They didn't pass through the county, but bypassed it and walked east. The prefectural capital of Xingyuan Prefecture was east of Three Springs County.
Although it would take a lot of time to enter the county and leave the east gate, the city gate had yet to open, and she was herding a flock of sheep. The soldiers guarding the gate might not be willing to let her in, and who knew how much money they would try to extort from her before they let her enter.
Mu Yangling had already asked the landlord about it. There was a gentle slope on the main road. As long as they crossed the gentle slope, they would be able to see a small path. They could walk directly from there and finally reach the main road of Xingyuan Prefecture.
