Chapter 811: Chapter 790: A Trip Back to the Hometown
The cool night air was filled with the half moon hanging in the sky, casting a clear light on the small paths between the mountains.
The carriage on the mountain road, under the moonlight, sped along as if flying, with a group of people escorting it as they retreated into the deep mountains!
Nobody cared about the moonlight in the sky, whether inside the carriage or out, all travelers were fraught with worry, with no one in the mood to speak another word.
Little Yanyan had already fallen asleep, lying quietly in Su Pan’er’s arms.
Su Pan’er was dressed as a peasant woman, with a headscarf wrapped around her dark hair. Looking through the open window, the sounds of horse hooves and the grinding of wheels on the ground echoed.
She couldn’t help but lean out the window to gaze into the distance, where the small county city that housed the village they had briefly stayed in was located. She seemed to still be able to see figures moving on the city wall’s watchtowers, the battle flags swept by fierce winds, fluttering in the air.
There, it seemed as if the sound of suonas followed by the thundering sound of war drums could be heard, the mixed sounds of drums and horns carried by the mischievous winds, resounding in her heart.
She slowly withdrew her gaze, unable to resist giving Little Yanyan a kiss. Feeling how Little Yanyan snuggled obediently in her arms, rubbing affectionately against her before puckering her small mouth and falling back into a deep sleep.
She couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, this child indeed seemed unfazed by honor or disgrace.
But do you know?
Your father is currently trapped in a dire situation!
This unexpected battle came so suddenly, who knows what his chances of victory are?
She then thought of Jun Ruochen, who would just stand there, looking at her with an elegant smile. She thought of Fei’er, who had once promised to never let anyone hurt her, with that stubborn face seemingly right before her. She thought of Mrs. Zhang, who would hold her hand, treat her like a sister, and chat about everything under the sun...
She slowly moved her gaze from Little Yanyan and turned to look out of the window again.
Qin Yi’s preparations had all proved useless, practically forcing him onto a path of certain death! How were they to fight this uncertain battle?
Her mind couldn’t help but conjure up the image of Qin Yi’s decisive and resolute hawk’s eyes.
Clad in a black outfit that hugged his robust and upright figure, he stood there, majestic as ever, authoritative and proud as if he could support the heavens. When he spoke, his expression was full of determination, and when he calmly directed the troops with his sword, his commands were so incisive and dignified that all under his command were compelled to obey, none daring to defy!
Back in the river, despite the hardships, they had persevered. Time after time, the enemy was cut down by their swords, and they even captured more than ten thousand people, achieving glorious military exploits. What was this minor setback in comparison? It’s just another brilliant addition to his victories!
Her man, Su Pan’er, how could he be a coward!
Even if time was against them, the struggle for survival was fierce, he would still calmly direct the Great Army, using armored horses to obliterate all obstacles, and his fame would spread far and wide!
Su Pan’er’s lips slightly curved upwards, finally letting the curtain fall, embracing Little Yanyan in her arms as mother and daughter cuddled up to sleep.
Not until the carriage stopped with a series of gentle sighs did Su Pan’er open her eyes.
Su Huarong walked over, with a fist-press salute.
"Fourth Younger Sister, there’s a Market Fair ahead. Muyi suggests we stop at the fair to have some hot dishes and let the horses feed before continuing on our way. Having traveled for a whole day, you must be tired, right?"
Although Su Pan’er was accustomed to martial arts training and didn’t feel tired, seeing Qingwen and the others on the carriage looking eager, she naturally nodded in agreement.
"I am rather tired, so let’s do as you suggest."
Seeing that Su Pan’er was somewhat disheartened, Su Huarong understood her concern for Qin Yi.
After disembarking from the carriage, Su Pan’er saw Lui Muyi looking towards her from not too far ahead. Once their group entered a rather spacious shop and took their seats, Su Huarong quickly looked around and then quietly reassured her.
"Fifth Sister, there’s no need for concern. Your husband Qiny Yi is highly skilled, and his men are elite troops and strong military leaders, long-standing loyalists. The nearly one hundred thousand followers of Old Cheng are also not a small force. For now, it’s only that Jun Ruochen caught your husband by surprise. As long as your husband’s men are deployed properly, it won’t be easy for him to gain any advantage from your husband. The main concern now is the potential number of casualties among the soldiers."
Su Huarong’s words gave Su Pan’er a jolt! Her eyes suddenly brightened!
"Qin Yi has so many troops at his disposal right now?"
"You didn’t know?"
Surprised as well, Su Huarong then understood: "That makes sense. Probably your husband didn’t want you to worry too much about these matters."
Su Pan’er also realized the reason and couldn’t help but want to laugh; however, she had just experienced an abrupt farewell with Qin Yi and really couldn’t smile at all. Instead, it made her feel an even deeper sense of sorrow.
"Where are we headed now?"
Su Huarong and Lui Muyi exchanged looks, and then Lui Muyi finally spoke.
"Qin Yi wants us to travel along the Silk Road, heading towards either Chengdu Prefecture or Yongzhou Prefecture. We need to move quickly to avoid the pursuit of royal troops."
At present, both Chengdu Prefecture and Yongzhou Prefecture are relatively peaceful and harmonious, and the commoners live and work in contentment, without worries about food and clothing. Although their group consisted of only a few dozen people, they still feared encountering the enemy’s forces, as that would be disastrous.
"Let’s simply head in the direction of Yongzhou City!"
Su Pan’er suddenly perked up.
She dipped the tip of a chopstick in refreshment and drew on the table: "Look, this is the direction of Deicide Mountain Range, south is Wumeng Mountain, the direction is like this, the Wumeng Department is located here. To the west is Chengdu Prefecture and to the north is Yongzhou Prefecture. These several longitudinal mountain paths and official roads to the west are most likely the direction from which Jun Ruochen and the Great Army will come."
The layout of this Different World’s mountain ranges differed substantially from later eras, but fortunately, Su Pan’er was intimately familiar with the bird’s eye view maps. With her strong foundation in drawing, she quickly demonstrated the various terrains with a chopstick. Such skill left Su Huarong and Lui Muyi wide-eyed in amazement.
Su Pan’er, however, did not notice their surprise and continued.
"If we head towards Chengdu Prefecture, the journey is too long. As for going to the Wumeng Department, not to mention our unfamiliarity with its internal workings, even Qin Yi remains somewhat vigilant towards the Wumeng Department, making it not the best choice. The only option is Yongzhou City, right at the foot of Deicide Mountain. Maybe... we could even take a trip back to our hometown!"
As soon as going back home was mentioned, Su Pan’er’s eyes instantly lit up!
That also brought smiles to Su Huarong and Lui Muyi!
"Your idea isn’t bad."
Lui Muyi also picked up a chopstick tip and added a few strokes to the map that Su Pan’er had drawn.
"Here, here, here, and here... all have mountain passes with heavy troops guarding them. It’s likely impossible for us to cross without alerting them. As for returning home, that’s nearly a month’s journey. Don’t be fooled by the short distance on the map, all that is pristine forest, how can that be compared to a flat road?"
