Seeing that Nan Wuyou was about to lose control, Nan Wuju hurriedly said, "Wuyou, you divide ten horses between me and Ziyu."

"Isn't ten too few?"

Nan Wuyou was stunned when he heard this, and no longer cared about Cao Zishuo. He frowned and was about to object.

Nan Wu Ju shook his head and said, "Zi Yu and I are on this journey, it doesn't matter whether we have soldiers or not. If we really enter the Great Desolate Mountain, what use will it be even if we have thousands of cavalry?

Give me ten horses, and Zi Yu also has ten horses, so twenty horses will be enough!

Any more would be inconvenient.”

"this……"

Although Nan Wuyou felt that what he said made sense, he finally frowned and nodded.

He then ordered a squad leader to pick out ten elite soldiers to follow Nan Wu Ju.

The Cao brothers next to them frowned slightly when they heard this.

Cao Ziyu, who had been silent the whole time, finally couldn't help but ask, "Brother, are we going to the Great Wilderness Mountain this time?"

This is Cao Ziyu, who never violates etiquette in his words at any time. He is the elder brother, but he always calls his brother-in-law Nan Wu Ju "big brother", which actually exceeds the etiquette requirements of that era.

Although this era had strict requirements on etiquette regarding seniority, it was not so strict regarding in-law relationships.

Because marriages between aristocratic families are often complicated, from this perspective, you may be my brother-in-law, but from that perspective, I may be your uncle.

So although Nan Wuyou and Cao Zishuo both said that the other was disrespectful to his elders, they both called each other by their names.

But Cao Ziyu was always meticulous.

He really looks like a gentleman.

But Nan Wuyou felt that this person was more difficult to deal with than Cao Zishuo.

Every time I hear him talk like this, I get goosebumps all over my body.

Nan Wu Ju smiled again and said, "It's hard to explain this in a few words. I'd better explain it to you, Zi Yu, slowly on the way."

After hearing this, Cao Ziyu didn't ask any more questions.

Cao Zishuo frowned but said nothing.

Although both are heading towards Dahuang County, the directions of heading towards Dahuang Mountain and heading towards Dahuang County are similar, but the paths are different.

Because to enter the Great Wilderness Mountain, you don’t necessarily need to go through the Great Wilderness City.

So after the brothers Nan Wu Ju and Nan Wu You had explained their plans to each other, they each led their troops into two groups and headed for their respective destinations.

After the two sides separated, Cao Zishuo saw that Nan Wuyou had no intention of explaining anything to him, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Nan Wuyou, you promised to tell me the details on the way. Now we've run dozens of miles, and you still haven't told me the purpose of your trip?"

"Humph, as a soldier, you should just follow orders. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

Nan Wuyou is not as polite as Nan Wuju.

He just responded with one sentence.

Cao Zishuo was so angry that he almost died.

But Nan Wuyou didn't care. He just pulled his mount and shouted, "Go!"

The entire team accelerated instantly.

Cao Zishuo had no choice but to lead his personal soldiers to speed up and keep up with the team.

If Nan Cang saw this scene, he would probably smile bitterly and helplessly.

Even though he was a general, a famous commander, he could not predict everything.

I'm afraid you're overthinking it if you expect your son-in-law and son to talk it out and ease their relationship.

Nan Wuyou didn't really distrust Cao Zishuo or guard against him, but he was mainly displeased with him. Seeing Cao Zishuo gritting his teeth but having to follow him, he felt refreshed.

Compared with the two people on the other side, the atmosphere was much more polite.

Apart from asking it once at the beginning, Cao Ziyu never mentioned it again afterwards.

Nan Wu Ju didn't let him ask at all. After the team entered the mountain, he took the initiative to tell Cao Ziyu all the details.

"Brother, you said that the emperor is actually in the Great Desolate City right now and has reached an agreement with the native saint?"

Even Cao Ziyu was surprised when he heard Nan Wu Ju's description, and his calm face showed shock.

"That's right, this is why Father is so cautious. It's not to guard against you, but because he's afraid that if anything happens, you'll be implicated too.

But I was afraid you might misunderstand me, so after confirming that Your Majesty was safe and sound, and instead of doing such a big thing, I ordered Wuyou and I to explain it to you clearly."

Nan Wu Ju explained.

"Haha, you worry too much, sir."

Cao Ziyu didn't know how much he believed Nan Wuju's words, but after hearing them, his face was moved. He said seriously, "Zishuo and I are both juniors and subordinates. How could there be any rift between us?"

But there was a gleam in his eyes, and it was obvious that he was still digesting the news that the emperor was actually in the Great Wilderness City, but it was unknown what exactly he was thinking about.

But it was obvious that the impact of this news on him seemed to be even stronger than Bingnan Wujue had expected.

I think there is probably more to think about.

…

After that, neither side said anything else.

It was not until the large group of people arrived ten miles away from Dahuang City that Cao Zishuo realized that the destination of their trip was Dahuang City.

At this time, his patience had almost reached its limit.

Nan Wuyou and his entourage had been prepared, so they all rode two horses at a time. They galloped all the way, although they were all very tired.

But the horse he was sitting on was in pretty good condition.

Although Nan Wuyou prepared spare mounts for him and his personal soldiers, his personal soldiers had none.

At this time, not only was the man's face pale from exhaustion, but the horse he was riding was also trembling with all four hooves.

However, Nan Wuyou didn't show any sympathy for them and ran as if he was going to fight someone to the death.

It was nearly three hundred miles from Chenzhou to Dahuang City, but it only took them more than two hours.

Even the elite troops could not endure such a march.

After finally stopping and catching his breath, he couldn't help but yell at Nan Wuyou angrily, "Nan Wuyou, are you crazy? Is there anyone who would recklessly march like you?

Do you even know how to lead an army?"

Nan Wuyou saw that Dahuang City was so close at hand that he had no time to pay attention to him.

With a serious look on his face, he called a military commander and ordered, "Lead your men to hide along the mountain and wait for my signal.

Be careful not to be discovered. If anyone is suspicious, kill them without mercy!"

“Here!”

The military commander took the order and left with his men.

Nan Wuyou then turned to Cao Zishuo and asked, "Are you going into the city with me, or are you staying here?"

"Just tell me clearly, what exactly do you want to do?"

Cao Zishuo also realized at this time that Nan Wuyou's trip was not simple at all.

Not caring to get angry with him, she asked with a frown.

Seeing that Nan Wuyou was about to perfunctorily deal with him again, he gritted his teeth and said, "If you want to tell me to follow orders again, I don't need to know. I'm willing to go back and be punished, so I'll have a fight with you today!"

Nan Wuyou saw that he was really angry and had sensed the situation, so he couldn't cause any trouble no matter what.

So he took a deep breath, shook his head, and said with disdain: "Look at you, where is the bearing of a general..."

Then I told him the purpose of this trip.

Cao Zishuo was about to get angry when he heard his first words, but when he heard the second part, he couldn't help but open his mouth in surprise.

Staring blankly at the earthen city in the distance.

"Are you saying that the emperor is in this Great Wasteland City now?"
