Chapter 145: Ghost General

While Mu Yucheng was deep in thought, Xu Xiang cut off the roast chicken thigh, put it on a bowl and handed it over to him with a pair of chopsticks. With a mentality to have a good relationship with her future master, she is quite generous when she gives him food.

She looked at him with a slight smile and asked, "You can eat this, right?"

He looked at her for a few seconds in silence, then took the bowls and chopsticks from her hand, nodded and said, "Mhm. Thank you for the meal."

Seeing him eating the roast chicken with relish, she took out the rest of the food from the food container, lowered her head and smirked.

’Those books are right. To conquer a man, one must conquer his stomach. It shouldn’t be long before I can ask him to teach me martial arts.’

While Xu Xiang and Mu Yucheng were having lunch, A Lu Zhi came over. Seeing him coming, she put down her chopsticks and looked at him.

Thinking that one steamed bun and one glass of water were not enough for him, she asked, "Do you want to have lunch together?"

A Lu Zhi smiled at her and sat down under the dead tree beside her. He looked at the empty plates and bowls on the ground, then at Xu Xiang, and said, "Thank you for your offer. But I’m here to look for you, not for food."

She looked at him, waiting for him to continue what he wanted to say.

"Do you have any destination in mind?" He asked, and put a piece of soup dumpling in his mouth.

Xu Xiang thought about it after listening to his question. She only stayed in this world for eleven days. The places she had been to before were either wastelands or wild forests. There is only Bei Qian City, which she thinks is worth visiting. But thinking about it again, she shook her head.

She said, "I don’t have any destination in mind."

After a few seconds of silence, she looked at Mu Yucheng who was still busy eating. Recalling what he said in Tian Jian Sect, she asked, "Mu Yucheng, how about you? Do you know any good places where they can live?"

When asked by her, Mu Yucheng put down his bowl and chopsticks, swallowed the food, and looked at her. He thought for a while and said, "There is a place that might suit them."

Hearing what he said, A Lu Zhi’s eyes lit up, and he asked, "Where is that place? Is it far from here?"

"I don’t know how far we are from there because I don’t know where we are now. But that place is a valley between two mountains. There is also a river there as a water source." He replied calmly.

Xu Xiang nodded and asked, "Is there anyone living there?"

Mu Yucheng put a piece of braised pork into his mouth, and said, "When I went there last time, no one lived there."

After thinking about it, A Lu Zhi said, "Then let’s go there and have a look. A valley with a river is a great place to live."

Xu Xiang nodded and said, "You are right. If there are two mountains there, then there must be some food available too."

Since both of them agreed to go and have a look, A Lu Zhi smiled at Mu Yucheng and said, "Then we will trouble you to lead the way for us."

Mu Yucheng glanced at him for a second and continued to eat his lunch in silence. Receiving his cold glance, A Lu Zhi just smiled and said, "Then I will go and inform the others first."

After saying that, he got up and walked away. Just after he took a few steps, Mu Yucheng’s cold and calm voice came from behind him.

He said, "Find out where we are first."

Turning to look at him, A Lu Zhi nodded and said, "All right."

Seeing him walking away, Xu Xiang looked at Mu Yucheng and asked, "When was the last time you went to that valley?"

"Ten years ago." He answered after drinking a bowl of egg soup.

Xu Xiang looked at him, suddenly curious, and asked, "How old are you? I heard from others that people in your sect can live for more than a thousand years."

He looked at her for a moment and said, "Twenty-eight years old."

"I thought you just looked young. But it turns out you are really young." She muttered to herself in a low voice as she ate a salted egg yolk bun.

Mu Yucheng heard her words, looked at her in silence for a while, and said, "I’m older than you."

Hearing what he said just now, Xu Xiang suddenly remembered that she was only twenty years old now, and not seventy-five years old. She scratched her cheek and said awkwardly, "Uh... I think you are right."

Just when Xu Xiang and Mu Yucheng were chatting about the ages of the disciples of the Tian Jian Sect, the army led by General Yao Zhen had already arrived at the northern border. After traveling for four days at fast speed without rest, they stopped at a place not far from Lin Zi City.

Lin Zi City was the seventh city captured by the army of the Bei Wei Empire seven days ago. If General Yao Zhen could not take back this Lin Zi City, then the Shang Empire would be in great danger. That’s because the next city after Lin Zi City is Bei Qiang City, the only remaining border city before the enemy stepped into the central region where the imperial capital city is located.

Yao Zhen rode on his war horse, while looking at the high wall of Lin Zi City from a distance. He looked at the imperial flag of the Bei Wei Empire on the high tower, and then looked at the black flag with the red qilin on the city wall. The red qilin flag is the flag of the Qilin Army under the command of Qi Baijun, the Seventh Prince of the Bei Wei Empire. Also known as Ghost General.
