Chapter 248
In the northwestern prairies, a merchant caravan approaches from a distance.
Tied to camels in a line are carriages filled with silk, tea, and porcelain. They set out from the Empire, crossing hills, prairies, and deserts to reach the distant westernmost country. Along the way, they might encounter bandits, storms, and the extortions of the government soldiers.
This is a business route where life hangs by a thread, but of course, the return is quite substantial, worth the risk.
The convoy is led by the Lan merchant group, along with several other traders joining. Despite the threats along the way, with the Lan merchant group, everyone breathes a sigh of relief.
The Lan merchant group has been operating this business route for many years, raising many skilled guards at home. This time, they even mobilized three hundred warriors for escort. Moreover, the leader of this trip is the young lady of the Lan merchant group — Lan Qingting.
