There was no problem whatsoever that they found on the voyage to the port city of Bohoq. The port city was much larger than the port city of Merak, The arrival of the ten great ships was enough to attract the attention of people.
The lord of the port city of Bohoq was already waiting for them at the port dock because the city lord of Merak Jin Bo had already sent a letter through the message-sending bird. The lord of the port city of Bohoq was the brother of the lord of the city of Jin Bo.
The city lord Jin Bo has said that Joan and her colleagues will set up a branch of an escort and cargo shipping company in the port city of Bohoq, of course the news pleased the city lord because it meant that it would open up jobs for the people of Bohoq city and tax revenues for the Bohoq city government.
After finishing all necessary administrative affairs and purchasing the building for Blue Phoenix's escort and cargo shipping service office, Mo Yi and the shadow guards took down twenty-two of their horses from the ship, the horses they brought from Genteng village, they plan to continue the journey from Bohoq city to the royal capital of Sendawar. Joan bought the royal map for ten pieces of copper, cheap enough to help them not get lost on the way.
This is where they must part ways, General Loe Som Bong and his subordinates will continue their voyage to explore and forge friendships with the new countries they will meet on their journey.
General Loe Som Bong brought two ships that came together from Genteng village while eight other ships would dock at Bohoq port. Joan's men from Genteng village will wait here while revamping the Blue Phoenix escort service branch, also building the employee residence that will be placed here.
They set out early in the morning from the city of Bohoq, Andi bought a carriage, two horses bound to pull the carriage. Andi did not have the heart to let Joan ride a horse along the way, she herself still chose to ride a horse, as usual Mo Ying who accompanied Joan in the carriage. Since being with Joan, Mo Ying felt that she was no longer a subordinate of the third prince but a sister of Joan because she had always accompanied Joan either at bedtime or when riding like that.
So it looked like the third prince was precisely escorting himself but of course Mo Ying kept that thought to himself, he did not become arrogant because of it. Mo Ying knew he remained only a subordinate and were it not for the grace he received from the third prince, he would have long since died.
How many days of riding they arrived in one city, they went to find lodging, after cleaning themselves, they came to the restaurant next to the inn. The presence of twenty-two people immediately attracted the attention of dozens of eyes that were there, two young women escorted by twenty men were certainly not ordinary.
All of the men were short-haired unlike the men in the country who used to be long-haired and coiled, it made the one who noticed them frown, frowning, consider that they are people who do not pay attention to politeness.
It was also inappropriate to take care of others even though it was disrespectful as they did not bother them, so the matter did not cause any impact to them
The waiter immediately came and showed the menu, Joan ordered how many menus randomly and asked the waiter to serve them immediately, Joan said, he gave a piece of silver money to the waiter as a tip that received him gladly and rushed to provide their order.
Joan watched the surroundings, as her eyes circulated, she noticed that someone was watching them, she saw from the corner of her eyes, a middle-aged man. Joan pretended not to notice it but throughout the meal, she knew that the man kept looking at their desk, he spoke to the other man while whispering in a low voice.
While they were eating, an old man with long hair and a disheveled beard came to ask for alms.
"Please give me food, how many days I have not eaten".
"Damn it, why are you standing there, waitress of how your house is eating, why this rotten beggar, you let disturb the guests".
The servant immediately came to drive the old man away but Joan called the servant.
"Servant don't throw him out, serve him food, I'll pay for it later".
The waiter pulled the old man into a corner of the room, placed him at a table some distance away from the other guests and served him, he was actually not happy to do so but the lady had already given him a great tip so he steeled his heart to serve the old man
Joan was not worried about it, but Joan still enjoyed her food, one of the foods she ate was very spicy which made Joan sweat profusely, so much, he took a handkerchief and wiped his face then he pulled his necklace pendant out of his shirt to wipe his tiered neck.
As Joan took out her pendant, the old man's eyes widened, although from a distance, he could still clearly see the shape of the pendant, his face immediately stiffened.
"The young lady's face felt very familiar and her pendant also seemed to belong to miss, who was she?".
This man more intensely saw Joan but who was seen not caring, Joan continued to enjoy her food while clicking her mouth that felt hot but delicious.
Andi noticed Joan's way of eating with a smile on her face, although Joan's way of eating was not like the noble girls who ate slowly while covering their mouths with handkerchiefs but to Andi there was nothing wrong with anything Joan did, everything was beautiful in his eyes.
After she finished eating, Joan paid the price of their food along with what the old man had eaten, he also gave the waiter an extra tip that made his eyes twinkle because the tip this time was greater than his salary a month. Joan wanted to give money to the old man but the last man was no longer on his desk.
Joan was a little surprised, feeling she did not see the old man pass them but obviously the old man was no longer there. Joan stopped thinking about it.
They immediately went back to the room to rest, they had to maintain a strong physical condition as the journey was still long but most of the guards were not sleeping, they were cultivating all night, they were cultivating, despite not sleeping, by cultivating they get twice the benefits than just sleeping.
That night they rested without interruption.
