The general goal had been determined, so Jiang Hai prepared to leave and said to Wu Gong, "You should have a meeting with them later.
Arrange the missions and equip the weapons. I'm leaving now."
After Jiang Hai finished speaking, he stood up and left Wu Gong's room with his wife.
"Okay, young master." Wu Gong bowed.
After Yuchi Ziling followed out, she asked impatiently, "How do you know that the place you are pointing to is a mountain?
And what are those circles of different colors?
And what is a hot air balloon?
besides……"
Seeing that his wife's interest was piqued and she had become a curious baby, Jiang Hai chuckled and turned back to ask Wu Gong for another map.
"Let's go back to the room and I'll explain it to you." Jiang Hai said, holding the map.
"Oh, okay." Yuchi Ziling's eyes lit up, full of curiosity.
She also knew that Jiang Hai was not that unreliable and that he still had many strengths. For example, she had never seen him be vague about these important matters.
Now that she was being taught these new things on the battlefield, she was naturally very happy.
…
On the other side, the army was marching from the capital to the border.
After three or four days of heavy rain, the clouds finally cleared and the march resumed.
Yuchi Zhong's expression finally became less gloomy.
The army had been walking on muddy roads for several days, and everyone was covered in dust. Now, under the scorching sun, the dust from the road clung to their armor, making it look a little darker.
The army no longer had the spirit and energy it had when it set out on the expedition, but Yuchi Zhong didn't care too much. He planned to straighten out the army's appearance and morale when he arrived at the border. The most urgent task now was to hurry on.
Two days ago, Yuchi Zhong also received the latest military intelligence from the border. The total number of enemy troops was no less than 120,000, and they were heading towards Donggu Pass. It was expected that they would arrive in a little over ten days.
However, it may take nearly twenty days for the reinforcements here to reach Donggu Pass, so the defenders of Donggu Pass will have to hold out for at least ten days.
"Speed up the march." Yuchi Zhong ordered.
Now when traveling, they basically speed up for a while, and then let the soldiers walk normally for a while as a rest.
The food and grass supplies from behind would catch up slowly. Before Donggu Pass was breached, the enemy had no chance of bypassing and intercepting the food and grass.
Unless the foreign army can bypass the sea by water, but that also requires a long distance after landing. If that is the case, the military report would have been received long ago.
…
Nanzhou City, Furong Chamber of Commerce.
Hao Bo stayed in Nanzhou City for a few days, walked around the city, and visited some shops and chambers of commerce that had cooperation with Xincheng.
At this moment, I arrived at Furong Chamber of Commerce, ready to take a look at the situation here and then take a carriage back to Xincheng.
In the reception hall, Li Wanji greeted Hao Bo.
In the past few days, the first batch of goods produced in cooperation with Furong Chamber of Commerce has been shipped to Nanzhou City.
There were all sorts of things, all agreed upon beforehand. They were basically all must-haves for time travelers that Jiang Hai had cooked up, like liquor, soap, shampoo, perfume, face masks, and new fabrics.
In short, Li Wanji was very happy. These things were in short supply and it was basically a sure profit if she got them.
In addition to the majority of them being transported to the capital, some were left in her Nanzhou City for sale.
After discussing business matters, Li Wanji asked again, intentionally or unintentionally, "Where is Young Master Jiang who came with you last time? Why didn't I see him come with you?"
She received an order from the capital to get closer to Jiang Hai, but this time Hao Bo came alone and did not reveal any news about Jiang Hai.
"Oh, the young master is busy. I can take care of these small matters for you." Uncle Hao took a sip of tea and said.
"That's such a pity. I was thinking of inviting Young Master Jiang to have a meal with us to thank him." Li Wanji said regretfully.
"Mr. Li, there's no need to be so polite. The young master doesn't like socializing and doesn't care about these things."
Hao Bo glanced at him and saw that the other party was not an ordinary person. He must have a purpose in looking for the young master.
"Could you please trouble Uncle Hao to help me make an appointment with Young Master Jiang? I have something I want to ask him." Li Wanji continued to test.
"Alas, it may not be convenient recently. The young master just got married and has been spending all day with the young mistress, so I dare not disturb them."
"Then could Uncle Hao please tell me where the Jiang Mansion is? I'd like to visit Young Master Jiang." Li Wanji still didn't give up.
Although Hao Bo often stabbed Jiang Hai and his son, he was still very reliable when doing things outside, so he naturally would not agree to Li Wanji's request.
Li Wanji was really helpless and could only think of a way. She asked someone to go to Binhai County to inquire about the location of Jiang Mansion and find an opportunity to look for Jiang Hai again.
After the discussion, Hao Bo stood up and said goodbye. Li Wanji walked Hao Bo to the door of the Chamber of Commerce.
After calling for a carriage, Hao Bo paused before getting in, then turned around and said to Li Wanji,
"Master Li, my young lady's position is untouchable."
Then he got in the car and left in a cool manner.
Li Wanji was stunned at the door. What was going on?
Coming to her senses, her face darkened and Li Wanji's chest heaved with anger. What Hao Bo meant was that she was no match for the young lady.
"That woman who came with me last time, she was quite pretty, but it was obvious she didn't understand men.
Humph, there is nothing that I, Li Wanji, cannot control as a man. "
Turning around, twisting her slender waist, and pulling her clothes together at her chest, Li Wanji went upstairs muttering to herself.
The servant at the door of the Chamber of Commerce looked at Li Wanji's back as she left, his Adam's apple moved, and he swallowed the saliva that was about to flow out.
…
East China Sea, the fleet has now left the South China Sea.
After sailing for a few days, Cai'er, the little girl who was prone to seasickness, has gradually begun to adapt to riding on the boat and can also go out and move around.
That morning, Yuchi Ziling took Cai'er out to watch the sunrise over the sea without disturbing Jiang Hai.
When he turned over and didn't touch the soft jade, Jiang Hai slowly opened his eyes.
"Huh? Why is my wife gone? Is she up so early? That's not right. She usually sleeps longer than me."
Jiang Hai suddenly felt a little strange, sat up and quickly put on his clothes.
Jiang Hai quickly left the room and came to the deck. By this time, the sun had already risen.
Yuchi Ziling and Cai'er also returned to the cabin from the other side.
When she returned to the room, she found Jiang Hai was gone. She scratched her head, wondering where he had gone without telling her.
Then, a magical scene appeared on the ship. Jiang Hai came to the deck and asked the people on the deck, "Have you seen my wife?"
"Oh, the young lady just went down to the cabin from this side."
Then on the other side, Yuchi Ziling asked, "Have you seen the young master?"
"Oh, the young master just went up to the deck from over there."
After searching for two or three times, the soldiers who answered the questions looked at each other and nodded after they passed by. "I'm so envious! The young master and the young mistress have such a good relationship. They can even play hide-and-seek on the ship."
