Chapter 223

As midnight loomed, the mountainous ranges gave way to a flat piece of grass plains. The guide mentioned that this place was Youyou Plains, and that the Sunset Mountains lay ahead. After the Sunset Mountains, they would arrive at the biggest city in the southwest, Qiufeng City. Using Qiufeng City as a reference point, Tang Jing was situated to its east, while Baishui Pass was located to the north. The territory of Xia laid outside Baishui Pass.

These few days, the party had traversed along the mountain ranges. When they finally saw the flat plains, everyone's mood brightened up. The sight of the flat plains was always the same—a tree could be seen from afar. Although its distance was often perceived to be not too far away, it often required a day's journey by horse to arrive there. After wandering along Youyou Plains for two whole days, they finally arrived at Sunset Mountains.
