Having left the border town, Ye Jiu realized how mistaken she had been to purchase a donkey.
She did not know the way, so she took a guide out of the city, and then had no idea which direction to go.
With a confused expression, she continued forward, fortunately encountering a village before darkness fell.
Ye Jiu, a girl, dared not expose the money she carried, so she simply exchanged her clothing with a local village girl and smeared her face with mud. She tousled her hair into a mess, and in no time, she had transformed herself into the appearance of a little beggar.
She walked and stopped along the way, asking others for directions when she did not recognize the road.
At first, she was very vigilant, but later, when she realized that the person following her had no intention of harming her, she finally felt at ease.
Ye Jiu thought that the person lurking in the shadows must either be one of Sikong Mo's or the Prince's.
