1640 Departure

When it was time, he departed with General Chi, Chi Dong Wei, to the north. He sent a message to his soldiers, letting them know to train and prepare themselves first if he didn't arrive in time because he had some other things to do.

When Dai saw the message, he had the faint feelings that the soldiers would be happy with this.

Because it meant that their holiday had increased.

He shook his head and simply sent the letter.

"How long will it take, General Chi?" Feng Ao Si asked.

"A few days. When it was night time, I'll teach you how to read the map better and for now, let's discuss some topics," Chi Dong Wei said lightly.

Feng Ao Si nodded. "Ok."

In the beginning, all the topics were things that was very easy for Feng Ao Si to think and Chi Dong Wei didn't make it difficult for him. But now, Chi Dong Wei slowly introduced a more difficult question and upgraded the difficulties little by little.

This way, Feng Ao Si will be able to learn more.

The group slowly departed from Sheng Village quietly.

Sheng Qi Rou stayed in her house, sighing and praying for her husband to return safely.

…

After receiving the order, Nan Hua didn't delay. Teaching the princesses were quite fun. She had also instructed them to follow the same practice for the time being because she would leave for a long period of time.

Anyway, the basic exercise was enough for these two to do because they were still young and might not be able to withstand the high intensity training.

If they were still interested in learning martial arts after several years, Nan Hua would consider teaching them again.

For now, it was enough.

"You're ready to depart?" Long Qian Xing asked Nan Hua when he saw her coming out on top of a horse.

"Yes." Nan Hua looked at Long Qian Xing. "I have a place where I need to stop for a while. If you wish to go first, you may go, General Xing."

"I'm not in a hurry. That general something at the north should be able to hold on." Long Qian Xing shrugged. There was no call of distress or anything like that but more like the message given to them because Emperor Yang Zhou didn't want Fan Yi Kingdom to bother them.

Anyway, Long Qian Xing was somewhat curious just how much that Strategist Song would be able to hold on when facing him after adapting to this world. There were many different things as compared to their previous world and Long Qian Xing was also curious about this.

"Who's the one at the border?" Nan Hua asked. She didn't seem to remember the name of the general stationed there.

"It's a general who used to be part of Wei Da Kingdom. I don't remember his name either." Long Qian Xing scratched the back of his head. He turned to look at Long Xu so that the latter could review the information gathered.

Nan Hua glanced at Long Qian Xing but said nothing more about this general. Instead, she switched the topic to the north border's overall condition. "Fan Yi Kingdom had launched an attack not long after Wei Da Kingdom's fall. You're the one who took care of it, how's the situation on the border?"

"It's relatively good. Aside from Great General Ji, I don't remember any remarkable existence." Long Qian Xing rubbed his chin. "Oh, this Strategist Song is not there when I first make the attacks a few years ago."

Strategist Song was still hiding.

Thinking about that, Long Qian Xing pursed his lips. It wouldn't be an easy battle if this Strategist Song was truly the one from his previous world.

"How about the terrains?" Nan Hua would make tactics in accordance to the terrains where the battle took place.

Long Qian Xing showed a faint smile. "There's forest and also some separate mountains. But beyond that is the plains and afterwards will be deserts."

Nan Hua thought of the nomadic tribe at the north who kept on making trouble for Fan Yi Kingdom and nodded her head. She knew very well that Fan Yi Kingdom was also the one that had been bearing the brunt of the attacks from those tribes.

Should they conquer Fan Yi Kingdom now, the north border would be quite chaotic.

"Our task this time is just to push them back a bit." Long Qian Xing recalled the order letter that was given to him and sneered. "There's no need to take care of the others."

"Yes."

"Oh, General Yu will also come to help. Do you want to pay a visit to her first before going to the border?"

Long Qian Xing didn't like Yu Jin, but he knew that Nan Hua and Yu Jin had good relationship with each other. Since that was the case, they could meet each other and probably exchange some talk.

Of course, he would not participate.

Nan Hua thought of her Master who was staying in the area where Yu Jin has been staying for the time being and nodded.

"Got it. Where do you want to make your stop now?"

"Yi Shang Temple."

Long Qian Xing looked at Nan Hua suspiciously. He didn't think that Nan Hua was the type of person who liked to go to the temple. But when he first encountered Nan Hua back then, she was indeed inside the temple.

Nan Hua glanced at Long Qian Xing and noticed what he was thinking. "There's someone I would like to meet there; someone you also know."

Someone he knew?

Long Qian Xing brain turned very fast before a name emerged inside his mind. He pursed his lips and nodded.

"Let's burn some incense first before seeing her. I'll tell my soldiers to make a camp nearby."

"Mhm." Nan Hua glanced at Long Qian Xing and said nothing more. The two of them didn't really have much interest in the temple itself, but it was also true that there were some good scriptures there.

Besides, asking for blessing when they were going for a war wouldn't look that bad…

Perhaps…
