"Gentlemen, who are you...?"

The inn's waiter had just come up to greet them, but before he could finish speaking...

Then the family that had just arrived turned around and left.

"Just get us some hot water, please, quickly."

Jiang Dai handed the empty water bag and some copper coins to the servant, but in her heart she was thinking: [Has this NPC respawned?]

[I'm starting to get the feeling that this time-travel thing is involved in a bigger conspiracy?]

Yes, for Jiang Dai, sometimes she felt that this time travel was not so simple.

There might be a hidden mission, and after completing the mission, you might be able to return to the modern world.

The servant was surprised to find that he could earn so many copper coins just by fetching some water, so he immediately started running, determined not to be slow.

After taking the water bag, Jiang Dai quickly boarded the carriage, and Bai Yunqi drove it off immediately.

Inside the carriage, Juanjuan also knew the importance of the matter.

Because she had just heard her parents and brothers start making noise again.

It was a jumbled mess, but they were all talking about the same thing.

That means the Di Kingdom has started attacking the Dayu Kingdom. The two countries are at war. What happened to the Mu family, who are stationed on the border between the two countries?

Although Juanjuan had never seen the Mu family army in person, she couldn't help but feel nervous for them.

If a fight really breaks out immediately, then traveling slowly like this will likely make us late and cause problems.

Bai Yunqi, being protective of his own and extending that affection to those connected to his former family, naturally didn't want to see his second brother's former family members get hurt.

Moreover, my second brother is a good person, the Great Yu is currently enjoying favorable weather, and the emperor is also quite good. Starting a war would only increase casualties.

He just had one concern.

Even if we reach the battlefield, can we actually take action immediately?

Bai Yunqi wasn't sure what to do, but his mindset immediately improved the next second.

[Ha! It's just testing the Heavenly Dao, right? I'm an expert at that! I'll test it and see if it works.]

Jiang Dai leaned down and asked her youngest daughter softly, "Juanjuan, do you want to go to the border soon and see your sister Mu's family?"

"Yes," Juanjuan guessed, then asked, "Do we need Big Brother's master to take us there quickly?"

The child had become adept at attributing all inexplicable, miraculous phenomena to his never-before-seen master.

That's alright, it saves us from having to come up with more side explanations, because the more we explain, the more loopholes there are.

Bai Yunqi was somewhat exhausted as he rushed his family from this place to the border between the two countries.

It's like running a 100-meter dash; you can sprint, you just need to have enough bursts of speed. But for a 10,000-meter dash, you might not be able to keep going.

So, seeing that the favorability value had increased a little bit more, reaching 93, Bai Yun'an made an exceptionally bold and impulsive decision.

...

Yudai Pass.

Who would have thought that the Di Kingdom's army, which previously only dared to wage guerrilla warfare and dared not confront Dayu head-on, would actually dare to launch a direct attack now?

Inside the tent, a slightly oppressive atmosphere prevailed.

"The stone tooth has been broken, and Fourth Master died a heroic death. We also want to avenge Fourth Master, but General, the city is short of food and fodder!"

"Yes, General! The Di Kingdom is coming with great force, deliberately choosing times when there are problems with supplies. I fear there may be Di Kingdom agents within the city!"

General Mu took a deep breath.

"Shi Liang, reassure the people in the city and evacuate as many as possible."

"Zhang Quanwei, send troops to guard the grain supplies. The grain supplies in the city cannot be compromised again."

“Mu Qiu…”

Mu gave detailed instructions on military matters, knowing full well that this was going to be a tough battle.

The sky was dark, and the dry wind made the military flags flutter loudly.

The Mu family army was on high alert.

A scout team that had been gathering intelligence returned with useful information.

As expected, the army of the Di Kingdom will arrive at Eagle Fall Gorge tomorrow.

"Fallen Eagle Gorge, that's a good place for an ambush, General!"

Shiya was breached, but the Mu family army was in high spirits because of the heroic act of the fourth master of the Mu family defending the city to the death.

Eagle Fall Gorge is quite steep and not really suitable for ambushes, but the Mu family army has recently developed a new flying claw, which makes it suitable for ambushes.

Even if the number of people is small, as long as we send a few more people with excellent archery skills, we can capture the leader first and shoot the general of the Di Kingdom. Then the chances of winning will naturally be much greater.
