1197 Journey



The distance between Yi City to the north border of Wei Da Kingdom and Fan Yi Kingdom was actually not that far. But the problem was the terrain that was filled with mountain's range and also forests.

There were not many people living here and it could be said that the north border was somewhat secluded.

For General Kai to be able to survive here without much reinforcement against Fan Yi Kingdom had shown that he had some capabilities. After all, Fan Yi Kingdom was not an easy opponent to deal with.

They took the route that was somewhat fast, but it still need them to climb the hills.

It would definitely be tiring.

"How long do you think it'll take for us to reach the border?" Nan Luo asked quietly.

Nan Hua passed a look at Nan Luo and then glanced at the West. "If we're using the plains at the areas that now belong to Zhang Xu Kingdom, we'll be able to reach the north border faster."

Nan Luo rolled his eyes. "Lin Family will be on the way of that road. With their family famous in medicine, no one dared to take that road unless they're thinking of courting death."

Feng Ao Si blinked his eyes. "That fierce?"

"Yes."

After they had been fighting with Zhang Xu Kingdom for a long time, Nan Luo also began to review his geography and history lesson. One of them was in regards to the north border between Zhang Xu and Wei Da Kingdom.

The mountain range prevented those from Zhang Xu Kingdom from approaching because there were many wild beasts on the way. And there was only one road from the cities areas in Zhang Xu Kingdom to the border and that road had to pass through Lin Family's areas.

Lin Family was famous.

Nan Luo didn't remember when exactly they begun to have their name spread, but he knew that it has been a long time. The medicines they used were famous and those who dared to enter their territory had to be ready to face death.

The Lin Family controlled this territory.

"Lin Family might be powerful, but they're still under Zhang Xu Kingdom and had been in decline." Nan Hua knew more than Nan Luo. Even though Lin Family was so fierce and all, they were actually quite afraid of being abandoned by Zhang Xu Kingdom.

They were located near the border with Fan Yi Kingdom and Wei Da Kingdom, which has now turned to Fei Yang Kingdom. Zhang Xu Kingdom allowed them to be arrogant because they knew that they had a backing.

But without Zhang Xu Kingdom, Lin Family was not that prosperous.

There were still the Zhang Family and also the Chen Family. Though, Chen Family had long fallen, leaving only the remnants of record left.

If Zhang Xu Kingdom abandoned Lin Family, they would only be able to face the pressure from the other two kingdoms by themselves. That would be the situation they didn't want to see the most.

This was precisely the reason why Lin Family was trying to brush their sense of existences through various ways.

There have been several incidents involving Lin Family.

One of them was during the time Princess Yue was brought to Zhang Xu Kingdom back then for a marriage agreement and temporary peace.

But war between Zhang Xu Kingdom and Fei Yang Kingdom will surely break out even more intense. It was unknown how Princess Yue will fare in the Imperial Harem in Zhang Xu Kingdom now that the situation was like this.

Nan Hua's eyes flickered slightly.

"Uh wait, if they're in decline, can we take advantage of them?" Feng Ao Si asked, his eyes lit up in anticipation.

Sheng Shan Lang heard his good comrade's words and felt like slamming Feng Ao Si's forehead. "Even if they're in decline, they're still powerful family that had a lot of people who guarded their house. If we come there, we'll engage in brutal war ahead of schedule."

"Oh." Feng Ao Si blinked his eyes.

Nan Luo sighed deeply and wondered whether it would be possible to find a medicine that cure Feng Ao Si's brain. At least, some brain supplement should be possible, right?

But he was sure that his aunt had already tried this method a few times in the past… why did it not work at all?

"Let's find an empty area to rest for the night." Long Qian Xing waved his hand at the front.

"Yes!"

There were not many empty areas, but they managed to find a suitable place to spend for the night. Setting up temporary night camp, they all began to divide the work and quickly made the camp before they all rested.

Nan Hua climbed the nearby tree and looked at the route in the map. If they were to take the route designated here and by calculating their speed, it would take around 10 days for them to reach the border.

There were several cities in between the border and Yi City, so they could also take this chance to interrupt them a bit.

"Nan, what are you doing up there?" Nan Luo called out when he saw his twin sister was sitting on the three. "Come down, it's time to eat."

"Ok."

Nan Hua stood up and lightly jumped down to the branch below and moved a few times before jumping down. Her movements were light and agile just like that of a cat. It was to the point that one would be fascinated just by watching her.

Nan Luo blinked his eyes.

"What is it, Luo?"

"…Nothing."

Nan Luo turned around and seriously contemplated inside his mind. For some reason, he began to doubt his identity as Nan Hua's twin. Why did it feel that whatever Nan Hua did, she would look so handsome?

Shouldn't he be more handsome than her?

Before Nan Luo fell into deeper self doubt, Nan Hua had already pulled him to the campfire so that they could begin to eat with the other young commanders.
