Chapter 459

When the storyteller in the teahouse mentioned this, he would deliberately joke that Ye Luji was probably beaten up and would return to his hometown.

It’s hard to say whether Ye Luji would return to his hometown, but Xie Xuanchen really didn’t plan to go back.

After Ye Luji withdrew his troops, Xie Xuanchen ordered his troops to pack up, and under the leadership of the people from Qinghe Town, they crossed the Yellow River and marched north to deal with the fleeing troops of the Beirong Dynasty.

Mu Mingtang’s carriage, also guarded by many soldiers, rolled over the glacier and set foot on the territory north of the Yellow River.

It was almost time for the river to defrost, so it was a very dangerous time to cross the Yellow River. Without the help of locals who were familiar with the body of water, Xie Xuanchen did not dare to have so many people rush onto the ice that bravely. Xie Xuanchen had just brought up the matter before many of the experienced fishermen offered their help. In the end, it was the Squire of Qinghe Town who led the most experienced men to personally guide the army.

Except for a few guides, Xie Xuanchen did not tell anyone else the time of departure. However, on the day of departure, many people spontaneously came out to see him off. The Squire and the old fisherman led them all the way to the other side of the river. If it weren’t for Xie Xuanchen’s insistence, the Squire would have wanted to send them all the way to the next town.

After stepping onto the river bank, the cavalry was able to march quickly. The Squire, Mr. Zhao and the others reluctantly stopped and bowed deeply to the young men in front of them, “Going further, it is no longer the scope of Qinghe Town. Your Highness has saved Qinghe Town in the midst of fire and water before needing to head forward to suppress the Beirong people. I have no other way to repay you, so I can only bow to Your Highness three times. All the people in Qinghe Town, myself included, will always remember the kindness and aid of the Prince and Princess.”

Xie Xuanchen clenched his fists on his horse’s reins and said, “The Princess must have been causing some trouble in town these days, so I thank you for taking care of her. The march can’t be delayed, so I will bid farewell to you here.”

“Your Highness, have a good journey. We will wait by the Yellow River every day, waiting for Your Highness to win the battle and return as soon as possible.”

Xie Xuanchen took one last look behind him. At this moment, the sky was slightly bright. The gra.s.s and trees were covered with frost, the mountains in the distance were shrouded in mist and the Yellow River looked like a silver ribbon, splitting the chaos and flowing silently on its own.

8,000 people followed him silently. On the other side of the river, in the distance, many people with their families were looking eagerly in their direction. No matter how far away, the capital was like a sleeping baby, about to start a new day of hustle and bustle.
