1314 At Xinzhou

Fu Bao did the count.

He could not help but smile. He came to them and said, “Lady Chaoyan, you said that we would have 20 people cut off, but we, who have been through a blizzard, have no one cut off, only five who have suffered a little from a cold, but they just need to rest and come to the battlefield in a couple of days.”

“…”

“That is just a miracle! And we have arrived ahead of our plan!” Fu Bao said.

Honestly, people from Shadow Door were well-selected and they were well trained too, but they were not all necessarily going to make it, let alone the ordinary soldiers.

It was a miracle!

Fu Bao respected and admired two people in his life, namely the Head and Lady Chaoyan.

Gu Chaoyan nodded calmly.

That was better than she had predicted. It was indeed a miracle.

Also, she could notice that everyone was fully motivated.

A war required, above all, motivated soldiers. When they were motivated, she would feel more a.s.sured.

After they pa.s.sed the border of Xinzhou, they would soon come into the town.

They headed directly onwards.

Far in the distance, Gu Chaoyan seemed to have seen a familiar figure heading towards them. It would probably be some minor figure who came to greet them.

As the figure approached them… Gu Chaoyan became totally a.s.sured after she saw that it was General Huangpu!

They had met back in the capital, when General Huangpu and Yinghan got married and came to the border. She had forgotten about this, but they ran into each other here at Xinzhou!

Gu Chaoyan felt rather confident if General Huangpu was the chief for the troops here. If they worked together, they would definitely guard Xinzhou well.

Gu Chaoyan smiled brightly.

General Huangpu came off the horse and greeted. “Greetings, Lord Huai!”

“No need for formalities, just get up, General Huangpu!” Zhou Huaijin said straightforwardly. If he was not sitting on the horse’s back, he would definitely help him up.

Zhou Huaijin let out a sigh of relief when he saw that General Huangpu was the chief for Xinzhou.

He had met him before and understood him.

When General Huangpu met them, he headed shoulder to shoulder with Zhou Huaijin and Gu Chaoyan.

“How is the situation in Xinzhou?” Zhou Huaijin asked.

He had already learned from the hidden guards from Shadow Door regarding how Xinzhou was doing now. The reason why he asked right now was because he would like to hear what General Huangpu thought of Xinzhou and how he had planned things.

With this in mind, he could come up with a solution.

“People from North Qi attacked us suddenly the night before, but we were alert enough to avoid big losses. We have managed to maintain Xinzhou, yet we lost 3,000 people which is not a very optimistic thing.”

“…”

“I am afraid that they will continue to attack us, and they should be fully-armed.”

“…”

“We are humans, so we need to pay a lot to counter those monsters, also…
