Chapter 849: Ambush

Yanyang was an area outside Phoenix City. After leaving Yanyang and heading southwest, one could leave via Phoenix Town. After leaving the country, they could bypass Cangbei Mountain and enter Great Xia’s Fengzhou, then go from Fengzhou to the battlefield at Nanling Pass.

If the army followed this route, it would take at least three months. Moreover, after a long journey, the soldiers would definitely be exhausted. How were they going to fight the Wu Kingdom’s army like this? This was also one of the reasons why Song Jingchen rejected the 100,000-strong army.

“Even if we travel without stopping, it will take us a month and a half,” Song Jingchen said as he looked at the map.

Now that the Wu Kingdom had taken the initiative, they would definitely break through the Nanling Pass and take down Qingyang City in one go. One and a half months was too long.

Shen Yijia frowned. “But if we don’t take this path, we can only go southeast and leave via Lin’an City.”

Not only could they not get through Lin’an City, but the other side was the border of the Wu Kingdom.

Ji Luo suddenly said, “There’s another way.”

“That’s right,” Song Jingchen replied. He pointed at the middle of the three countries on the map. “This is the intersection of the Three Gorges. If we can pass through it, we can save more than half the time.”

They would reach Nanling Pass in about 20 days.

Shen Yijia looked in the direction he was pointing. The map only had the words “Three Gorges Crossing” written on it. There was no marked route at all, which meant that no one had walked this path before.

“I originally wanted to send a letter to Ah Han and ask him to mobilize the border army outside Fengzhou to support Nanling Pass. In addition, it’s too time-consuming to reorganize the army. I have the token he gave me.” Song Jingchen paused for a moment and looked at Shen Yijia before continuing,

“Jiajia, go southwest and leave via Phoenix Town. After circling around Cangbei

Mountain, take the token to look for the general stationed there, General

Sikong. Let him.. ”

Hearing this, how could Shen Yijia not know what he was planning? She said with a resistant expression, “I’m not going.”

“Jiajia.”

Shen Yijia did not want to hear his excuses. She shook her head repeatedly. “Let

Mother go. I’m not going anyway.”

Song Jingchen opened his mouth to persuade her, but Shen Yijia covered her ears with her hands.

She couldn’t hear him. She couldn’t hear him. She couldn’t hear him.

Ji Luo said, “I’ll go. When I fled from the Xuanyuan Kingdom to Great Xia, I took a small path. I can cross the Cangbei Mountain in less than 20 days.”

“Mother…” Song Jingchen didn’t expect Ji Luo to stand on Shen Yijia’s side. The reason why no one walked through the Three Gorges was because it was too dangerous.

“Do you think you can persuade her?” Ji Luo asked.

Even if she forcefully took this girl away now, she would escape and look for Song Jingchen as soon as she had the chance. She couldn’t lock her in an iron cage like she was a prisoner, right?

“Mother, you’re the best.” Shen Yijia’s expression changed in a second. She smiled and opened her arms to hug Ji Luo, but she pushed her away mercilessly.

Shen Yijia was speechless.

“When you reach Nanling Pass, you have to listen to Ah Chen. Don’t act recklessly,” Ji Luo scolded with a straight face.

Shen Yijia nodded obediently. “I’ll follow Mother’s instructions. I’ll definitely listen to my husband. If he tells me to go east, I won’t go west. If he tells me to hit a dog, I’ll do it.”

Song Jingchen glanced at her in disbelief.

Ji Luo didn’t believe it either, but what could she do?

They rushed for two consecutive days and one night before stopping to rest last night. While the few of them were discussing, MO Yuan had also cooked a pot of shredded pheasant porridge.

The pheasants were caught in the mountains, and the rice was bought from the houses of the nearby villagers. Because the pot was not big, she did not cook much. She poured out three bowls, which were barely half full.

She glanced at Thirty Thousand, who was chewing on a pancake at the side. The latter immediately smiled at her.

MO Yuan was silent for a moment. She carried the three bowls of porridge to the three masters and pushed the pot towards him.

Thirty Thousand was stunned for a moment before joy burst out of his eyes. He waved the dry food in his hand. “I’ll just eat this… You’re a girl. You can eat the porridge. ”

MO Yuan ignored him. She turned around, took out a pancake from her bag, and sat down against a tree.

Thirty Thousand stuffed his pancake into his mouth and leaned over with the pot. “The pancake is too dry. Eat it with porridge.”

As Shen Yijia slurped the porridge, she watched their interaction.

She had already imagined MO Yuan’s appearance after being pregnant for ten months and had thought of the name of her child. The child would be called Three Treasures!

“Thirty Thousand, bring me another bowl.” Song Jingchen put away the map.

Thirty Thousand took out a bowl from his bag in confusion.

Song Jingchen picked up half of the porridge in front of him and placed it in the empty bowl. He said emotionlessly, “Hurry up and eat. We’ll set off after eating.”

Thirty Thousand looked at the half bowl of porridge in his hand in a daze. His eyes turned red. “Yes.”

Shen Yijia rolled her eyes. “Hubby, I’ll give you some.”

At Nanling Pass, a night attack by the Wu Kingdom’s army caused grief in the pass. The thick smell of blood and the pungent smell of gunpowder filled the air.

Xiao Qirui, who was wearing armor, helped the soldiers carry the injured people onto a stretcher with a cold expression.

He was also injured, and blood kept seeping out, dyeing half of his armor red.

“General, you’re injured. Let the military doctor bandage it first. We’ll be fine here,” a junior general advised..
