Having learned of the potential threat from mountain bandits, everyone fell silent the next day on the road, the usual laughter and chatter replaced by tension and solemnity.
By noon, they arrived in Longmen Town. After discussing with Zhao Erhu, Li Xun decided they should not continue traveling in the afternoon, but rather rest well overnight in Longmen Town, as they would need to be well-rested for passing through Longhu Mountain tomorrow.
"Dear guests, are you looking to stop over or to stay?" Upon arriving at the inn, they were promptly greeted by an attentive innkeeper.
Li Xun and Zhao Erhu, along with their group, settled the goods in the back courtyard and arranged for people to take turns guarding them, while Lin Yue followed the innkeeper to get settled in their room.
After days of continuous travel, today was the first time they could relax, having only traveled half the day. Despite still worrying about mountain bandits, they took the rare opportunity to unwind.
