Chapter 1318 Wait And See

Ling Ziyue sneered, "From Deer City to here, we have been in the State of Xia for more than a few months. We have walked through countless cities and villages in the State of Xia all the way. There was no problem before. Why do they suddenly feel uncomfortable of the journey this time?"

"It's just the emperor of the State of Xia or the Empress who tries to threaten us. Basically, they want to make it clear to us that this is their territory and we have to be obedient. Otherwise, they have a lot of ways to control us."
