After traveling through time, I thrived in ancient times

Chapter 221 Arrival

The march was boring and tedious. Even though there were many beautiful scenery, they had neither the time nor the mood to appreciate it.

Therefore, except for the first night when everyone was happy because Shen Chenli's leg injury had healed, the rest of the time they were busy on their journey.

In order not to delay the journey, Yu Tingwan and Shen Chenli both chose to ride horses.

This also changed the views of some people who were originally dissatisfied with Yu Tingwan's decision to go to the border with them.

Unexpectedly, the princess, a little girl, followed them on fast horses for half a month. Not only that, she ate, drank, and slept the same as them. She never treated them specially, nor did she complain about grievances. She was even better than some men!

Shen Chenli, who was standing side by side with Yu Tingwan, looked at the people next to him, and the pride in his heart was almost overflowing.

This is the person who fights alongside me, and she is different from those ordinary women!

Yu Tingwan looked at him in confusion, not quite understanding why he was looking at her instead of looking at the road at a time like this?

Aren’t you really afraid of being hit by a horse?

The farther he got from the capital, the more Yu Tingwan saw. The houses gradually became dilapidated and low, and the colors turned into earthy gray. The scenery in front of him became more and more desolate.

It is conceivable that when we reach the border, the scenery there will probably be even more desolate than here.

The army crossed several hills one after another, and Yu Tingwan's eyes suddenly opened up.

Fiery red clouds covered half of the sky, the scorching red sun hung in the distant sky, and the ground beneath feet became hard and dusty.

Such a shocking scene is hard to express in words, and it is a scene you will never see in Beijing.

“I finally saw the scenery in the poems, and finally understood what those poets described in their poems.”

No wonder ancient poets were able to write such wonderful masterpieces that will last forever. Such a scene is truly rare.

"Do you like it here?"

Yu Tingwan nodded.

“There’s no such scene in the capital.”

"If you stay here for a long time, your skin may become less delicate."

Hearing this, Yu Tingwan looked at him in surprise.

"What? Are you still going to despise me?"

If you dare to dislike it, then change it!

Shen Chenli waved his hands quickly.

"No, no, no, I mean, I'm afraid you'll be sad."

After all, women in the capital are all spoiled. She would probably be laughed at when she returns after this trip.

Yu Tingwan sneered and was speechless.

"You're crazy, right? If I really cared about this, I could have stayed in the capital forever, but."

Thinking about the scenes along the way, Yu Tingwan felt that she was in such a good mood!

"Such a view is definitely worth a trip. Besides, I'm a doctor. If you want to improve your skin, I have plenty of ways to do it."

After a soak in the spiritual spring water, she might even become a few years younger!

Shen Chenli saw that she was indeed much happier than when she was in the capital, and he felt much more relieved.

"But I don't know what's going on at the border?"

"It will be fine for now. Even if there is only one soldier left at the border, he will not let those Northern Di people enter the border!"

He believed that none of the brothers he left behind were cowards. Although he had some worries in his heart, the soldiers he trained were no pushovers!

Yu Tingwan felt much more relieved. As long as the common people were not affected, otherwise, she really didn't know what would happen to Shen Chenli.

After a month of traveling, the border was finally within reach. As if they had received the news in advance, they had just set foot on the land when they heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance.

The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and Yu Tingwan saw a young general running towards him quickly. When he got close, he quickly dismounted and knelt down, clasping his fists.

"Your subordinate Zhang Yifeng pays respect to His Majesty!"

The voice was loud and clear, enough to show the excitement of the visitor.

Shen Chenli asked him to stand up and report the battle situation at the front.

"Your Highness, a month and a half ago, the Northern Di generals suddenly brought hundreds of thousands of troops to the border. We felt something was wrong and reported it immediately. They did not act rashly at first, but later they launched a large-scale attack after Hulu Chuan returned.

Fortunately, the general had arranged that we could not leave the city to fight, so we were able to resist for so long. In recent days, their attacks have become more fierce. When I came here, they were still shouting outside the city!"

Shen Chenli's eyes darkened and he led the army forward quickly.

Yu Tingwan followed closely behind.

"The prince is back! The prince is back!"

When they arrived at the military camp, they heard shouts. Shen Chenli did not stay long and led several teams of people to quickly head towards the city gate.

"Take the princess to her residence first."

In the blink of an eye, he disappeared in front of Yu Tingwan.

Looking at the group of people going away, Yu Tingwan glanced towards the city gate.

"Princess, let's go back first. With the prince here, nothing will happen."

Song Shixu walked up to Yu Tingwan and signaled her to go to the prince's main tent in the military camp first.

"Row."

The military camp was a yurt-like tent built outside the city wall facing the Northern Di.

Yu Tingwan walked into the one closest to the center. Inside were a few simple tables and a small couch for resting behind the screen.

"This is where the prince usually holds meetings. Normally, the prince rarely returns to the palace, so he spends more time here."

Song Shixu gave a brief account of what Shen Chenli usually did in the military camp and let Yu Tingwan rest.

"You can take a rest first. The prince will be back soon. If you are bored, you can just wander around the barracks."

"Ah."

Yu Tingwan nodded again and watched him leave. Yu Tingwan did not stay here for long. He called An San and An Si and left the main tent.

"Were you familiar with this place before?"

An San and An Si nodded and took Yu Tingwan for a stroll in the military camp.

"Princess, An San and I have been following the prince at the border. Later, when the prince returned to the capital, we secret guards followed him back to the capital."

The duty of the secret guards is to protect the prince, not the palace. Naturally, they go wherever the prince is.

Yu Tingwan nodded and said, "Then you can accompany me around and introduce me to each other."

This military camp is really a camp, but it is a very large one.

Originally, Yu Tingwan thought that the military camp would be outside the city gate, but it was actually set up directly inside.

But according to An San, they were all outside before, but now that the prince is not here and the Northern Di army is approaching, the generals who stayed behind ordered all the troops to withdraw back into the city, defend the city and wait for reinforcements.

"This is also the prince's previous order."

An San looked at Yu Tingwan, "Before the prince fell into a coma, he told the generals defending the city that if the Northern Di army came, they should not fight but just defend the city."

Yu Tingwan also understood such an order. After all, if Beidi set some traps while Shen Chenli was away, there was no guarantee that they would not be fooled.

Moreover, Beidi had increased their army by 200,000, plus the original 200,000. If they had rashly gone to fight, they probably wouldn't be here now!

After all, including the 50,000 soldiers we have brought to the border, there are only 300,000 soldiers left!
