"Ten days? Are you sure?"
Zhao Yingfeng looked at the huge tiger with some disbelief. It would take more than ten days to travel from the capital to the border on horseback, even day and night, let alone traveling along mountain roads.
Moreover, this mountain road is not easy to travel. It is rugged, the route is unknown, and there are many wild animals. If they encounter them, do they think they can survive to reach the border?
"I'm sure, Brother Tiger said to listen to it, and we'll suffer less!"
Zhao Chenhai nodded firmly.
"...?"
Brother Tiger? What? He already has five sons and nephews, and suddenly he has a tiger nephew? I'm not used to it!
"Give me some time to think about it!"
Zhao Yingfeng was speechless for a long time, looking at this brat. If this kid were his son, he would already be on the verge of getting a beating.
Zhao Yingfeng didn't agree immediately because he had concerns. Once you go into the mountains, it will be difficult to come out again!
We still had to head towards the border of Jibei City, and there were no fewer than eight mountains along the way!
Two of them are deep in the mountains, almost no one has ever been there, and there may even be wild animals roaming around.
Even if they brought an entire army, they might not be able to reach the northern border of the city completely safely, let alone with only about a hundred people!
Is the tiger that Xin Xin found reliable?
Zhao Yingfeng stared at the tiger, lost in thought.
It's not that Zhao Yingfeng is overthinking things; mainly because they've only heard about Lin Yuxin and Tiger's glorious deeds from Zhao Yi and the others, but they've never actually witnessed them.
He couldn't help but hesitate, after all, this concerned the safety of the soldiers, and as a general, he had to think it over carefully.
"Second Uncle, you must believe Sister Xin Xin."
Zhao Chenhai noticed his second uncle's hesitation, looked directly at Zhao Yingfeng, and then said seriously.
"...!"
Looking at the boy in front of him, Zhao Yingfeng suddenly realized that he didn't even have the courage of a child.
"Okay, Uncle understands!"
Zhao Yingfeng figured it out. Since they were going to leave anyway, and their trip was supposed to be a secret mission, going through the pipes would be too conspicuous.
Since his own nephew has such courage, he can't fall behind.
"Form ranks, we'll depart in fifteen minutes!"
Zhao Yingfeng immediately relayed orders to the soldiers who were still somewhat bewildered.
"yes!"
The soldiers saw that the general had exchanged a few words with the fourth young master of the Zhao family before preparing to enter the mountain. Although everyone was a little surprised, they knew that military orders were absolute and they only needed to obey them!
Zhao Yingfeng nodded upon seeing this. This elite team was not actually from their Zhao family army; it was the emperor's private army.
The Xia army was divided into three parts: in addition to the Zhao family's army, the regent and the emperor each commanded a portion.
The Zhao family army has 200,000 troops, the regent has 300,000 troops, and the emperor also has 100,000 troops.
The entire Xia state only had 600,000 troops, the fewest among the states. Zhao had around 700,000, and Qi had around 900,000.
Even the Northern Frontier has around 450,000 people, but the Northern Frontier focuses on practicing Gu poison. If we really go to war with the Northern Frontier, it will only be our Xia Kingdom that suffers.
That's why the Xia Kingdom was such a coveted prize in their eyes.
"Chen Hai, go ask this tiger what Xin Xin sent it here for? It can't just be here to guide us, can it?"
Seeing everyone packing their luggage, Zhao Yingfeng glanced at his nephew who had gone back to chat with the tiger, and, feeling uneasy, went over to keep watch. He asked curiously.
"Awoo!"
Who is this? They don't seem very bright.
The tiger looked up and glanced at him sideways, then lay down and talked to Zhao Chenhai again.
"He is my second uncle, and also your master's second uncle. He is very smart, not stupid!"
When Zhao Chenhai heard Brother Hu say that his second uncle was stupid, he quickly explained.
"...?"
Could you please keep your voice down? I heard you!! You two are chirping at me.
Zhao Yingfeng took a deep breath. Forget it, he was too lazy to ask. Once they entered the deep mountains, they could only pray for their own good fortune!
Fifteen minutes later, everyone was ready to go. Tiger walked in front, and Zhao Yingfeng and the others followed behind carrying their luggage. Because they were going into the mountains, they had given up their horses and could only walk.
Zhao Chenhai was the most relaxed; he was honored to sit on the tiger's back, feeling extremely majestic.
The group of elite soldiers behind him looked on with envy, but they dared not make any demands, for fear that if the tiger got angry, it would devour them whole. This tiger looked like a dangerous beast.
After the hundred or so people went into the deep mountains, two groups of people suddenly left outside.
One headed towards the capital, the other towards the northern border.
After things calmed down here, Lin Yuxin also entered the pre-wedding preparation stage.
Li Xiaochen would occasionally come over at night to hold Lin Yuxin while she slept, claiming that he couldn't sleep without holding her. Lin Yuxin had no choice but to grit her teeth and let the wolf into her house.
At other times, she would go to the space almost every day to refine some pills.
Ever since Tiger Brother left, Bear Brother in the space has been listless, looking like he's lovesick, which makes Lin Yuxin laugh.
"Brother Xiong, don't be sad. Brother Hu will be back in about a month. If you miss him, go dig some soil or go up the mountain to collect some medicinal herbs."
"roar!"
Without a tiger to keep me company, I don't even have the energy to dig!
The bear didn't move; it remained lying motionless on the ground.
"Just hang in there a little longer. After I get married, I'll take you to the State of Zhao, okay?"
Lin Yuxin thought for a moment and then said.
"roar!"
What kind of place is the State of Zhao? Is it interesting?
"Zhao State must be fun, right? I've never been there either. I'm going there to help out this time, so I'll take you with me. Don't be sad. If Brother Hu hasn't returned by then, we can go directly to the border to find them! You can all go to Zhao State together! Just think of it as a trip!"
