Chapter 1609 Smooth Meeting
The next morning, we set off.
Sun Damao mounted his horse, looked back at the mountain village, and felt emotional.
When I first came here and saw this abandoned village, I thought I would stay here until I grew old and died.
I never thought that there would be a day when I would be able to leave.
What I didn't expect was that he would leave with the prince.
God has been really kind to him. It's worth it even if he dies now.
Sun Damao walked forward happily: "Your Majesty, I will lead the way."
Huo Changhe gave an order and followed behind Sun Damao.
Sun Damao served as the assault officer again, as if he had returned to the past.
Yan Ruyu was watching from behind. She had never been to a battlefield, had never seen the momentum of thousands of troops, and had never experienced the bravery and fearlessness of charging in the front.
But when I saw Sun Damao, everything was depicted in a concrete image.
Such people should not be forgotten.
He shouldn't have died in the mountain stronghold with the reputation of a bandit.
She was determined not only to build Youcheng well and make ordinary people live a carefree and happy life, but also to ensure that these old soldiers and disabled soldiers would have someone to rely on and be taken care of.
The route taken by Sun Damao was basically the same as the route Yan Ruyu asked about when she called the abbot early in the morning.
The chase lasted for two days.
At noon that day, when he dismounted to rest, Huo Changhe took out a map to look at it.
Yan Ruyu pointed to a certain place and said, "There is a canyon at the mountain pass ahead. From a topographical point of view, this is where accidents are most likely to happen."
Huo Changhe nodded: "From a military perspective, this is also the best place for an ambush."
Not only can it kill people, but it also makes the death appear to be an accident and you can’t tell.
"We still have a day's journey from here. Even if we gallop and don't rest tonight, we will arrive early tomorrow morning," Huo Changhe thought for a moment, "Yu'er, I..."
Yan Ruyu knew what he wanted to say: "I'll go with you, it's okay, I can keep up. It won't be too late to rest after we catch up with them."
Huo Changhe really wanted to tell her to lag behind a little, split the troops into two groups, and let him lead the way first.
At this time, Yan Ruyu pointed it out and refused. He looked at her deeply for a long time and said, "Okay, let's go together."
The rapid march was tiring, and in order to ensure physical strength and health, Yan Ruyu took spring water and red fruits from the space and shared them with everyone.
They didn't know where the thing came from, but they saw the princess take it out of the bulging cloth bag behind the horse.
No matter where it comes from, it tastes good.
Apart from being a little tired from riding horses these days, they are actually quite happy.
One is to follow the prince, and the other is to have food prepared by the princess.
Everything is delicious.
Sometimes it is dry food, and sometimes at night we would use local ingredients, such as wild vegetables, or hunt.
The aroma is really tempting.
Yinding was the happiest, as if he was back to the time of exile, when life was really hard and there were so many delicious foods.
The princess has this kind of magic power, turning exile into enjoyment and a quick journey into a picnic.
They rushed all night, and at dawn the next day, the sun rose in the east, and the entrance to the mountain path also appeared in the morning light.
"Is that an inn?" Yan Ruyu pointed to the long stretch of houses in the morning light.
Huo Changhe nodded: "It seems that the manor is not in this situation. Besides, who would build a manor here?"
Yan Ruyu took out the telescope and handed it to him: "Take a look."
Huo Changhe took it and looked at it happily, saying as he looked at it, "It is indeed an inn, it has a cover."
“This thing is really clear.”
If this is used on the battlefield, it will be very helpful to see the movements of enemy troops in the distance.
Yan Ruyu said, "Leave it with me first, and I'll give it to you when I get back."
Huo Changhe was surprised: "Okay."
Yan Ruyu thought about it and remembered that there was a drone in the warehouse. She would ask the abbot to check it out. If there was one, she would give it to Huo Changhe as a gift on his birthday.
"Let's go and take a look," Huo Changhe said, "If they took this road, they must be staying here. Whether they have already entered the valley or have not left yet, there will be traces here."
"go!"
This inn is very large and is located at the mountain pass. Most people coming and going will stop here to rest before moving on.
Huo Changhe ordered Xiang Guang to take his men to stay on the spot. Yan Ruyu and he took the silver ingots, the boss, and Jiang Paopao. Two masters and three followers were just right.
When she got closer to the inn, Yan Ruyu found that it was quite lively. Just now, she had her back to it and her view was blocked, so she couldn't see clearly.
"We didn't take this road when we came here, otherwise we would have to stay here."
Huo Changhe nodded and smiled: "We are taking the official road. This road is narrow and is not the first choice for a large team like ours."
Yan Ruyu sighed: "If roads were built everywhere, we could go anywhere without any obstacles, and the problem would be solved."
Huo Changhe was surprised: "Building roads everywhere? That would require huge financial resources. I have never heard of any country that can do that."
Yan Ruyu said no more. No matter how much she said, it would be better to do it when the time comes.
Throughout the country, the goals are still a bit too big. It is still possible to achieve small goals within a hundred miles of Youcheng.
As they were talking, they arrived at the door of the inn and Yan Ruyu glanced at the crowd.
Found a familiar shadow: "Sima Chen!"
Sima Chen is the young man who gets along well with Huo Changxu and has taken Huo Changxu to the academy.
It was a great surprise to see it at this time.
Sima Chen was stretching his neck to look towards the mountain pass, not paying any attention to the people coming and going. Suddenly he heard someone calling him and quickly turned around to look.
Sima Chen looked carefully. Princess of Zhennan? Then he looked again. Prince of Zhennan?
Could it be that I am dazzled? How did they get here?
He was confused in his heart, but his body was honest, with a smile on his face, and he strode towards this side.
Just as she was about to shout, she stopped and asked in a low voice: "My Lord, Princess, why are you here?"
Huo Changhe asked: "Where is your grandfather? We are here to find you."
Sima Chen turned around and looked at the inn: "They are all in the inn. My grandfather and second uncle are feeling a little unwell..."
"This is not the place to talk, Prince, Princess, please follow me and I will take you to see them."
Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe handed the horses to Jiang Paopao, Yinding went to arrange accommodation, and the boss went to observe the environment.
The Sima family lived in three small courtyards.
There are so many of them that if they were to spread out they would need a lot of rooms, so it would be better for them to just get together and rent three courtyards.
Although they are no longer as poor as before, they have become accustomed to saving money over the years. The road ahead is long, and it is always good to save more money.
Yan Ruyu asked, "What happened to your grandfather?"
Sima Chen's grandfather is Uncle Sima.
He was Yan Ruyu's old patient, and it was Yan Ruyu who performed the surgery on him.
Everyone in the Sima family was convinced of Yan Ruyu's medical skills.
Sima Chen felt relieved when he saw Yan Ruyu just now.
"He was fine when we checked in yesterday. He was tired these past two days and ate more at night. I wondered if he ate too much and couldn't digest it."
"Is that why you haven't set off immediately?" Huo Changhe asked.
"That's not true."
