Chapter 418: Departure

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

No matter how unwilling Pei Qian was, seeing that Lu Ze had already made the decision, he could only suppress his dissatisfaction and cooperate with the arrangements.

After knowing that Lu Ze had agreed to her traveling with him, Lin Suisui began to make preparations.

For example, the herbs they needed to bring, as well as various pills and tools that were convenient to carry.

Because this matter couldn’t be leaked, Lin Suisui didn’t alarm anyone. On the other hand, Pei Qian didn’t give up on making Lin Suisui change her mind. However, after trying to persuade her a few times but receiving no response, he simply gave up. Then, he began to cooperate and plan. He tried his best to prepare everything perfectly so that nothing went wrong at the critical moment.

Because time waited for no one, they started choosing the people that would go to the northern barbarian territory.

This group of elite soldiers was personally chosen by Lu Ze. There were a total of more than a hundred people, but they were not alone. Zhou Hengchang’s Zhou family’s army was guarding the back.

These people interacted with the northern barbarians all year round and were quite familiar with marching on the grassland. This way, if anything happened, they could help each other.

…..

As for the northern region army, it was controlled by Pei Qian, Wei Qing, and the others. If the situation changed, they would quickly send out troops and wouldn’t give the northern barbarians any chance to catch their breath.

However, these arrangements definitely couldn’t be revealed to Gu Han.

Therefore, when they disguised themselves as a caravan and set off, Gu Han didn’t notice anything wrong. Because of Lu Ze’s calmness, he trusted Lu Ze completely now.

Therefore, as soon as they left the border, Gu Han told Lu Ze everything.

“My subordinates set up camp not far from here. We’ll be able to meet them before tonight.” As Gu Han rode beside Lu Ze, he whispered to him about their next itinerary.

Not surprised by this, Lu Ze nodded.

After all, it was definitely impossible for Gu Han to reach Cloud Mountain City safely all alone.

Because they were disguised as a caravan, this saved Lin Suisui the trouble of riding a horse. As she sat on the shaft of the front carriage and stared at the endless pasture, she finally understood why Lu Ze insisted that Pei Qian stay behind.

In such an environment, if one wasn’t an experienced person who had been in and out of it all year round, they would probably fall into a quagmire and quickly lose their way.

Wwith Gu Han leading the way, the journey was quite smooth. At dawn, they really saw a few scattered white tents in the direction of the horizon.

Lin Suisui saw more than ten fast horses rushing over quickly. Gu Han whistled a few times, which was echoed by the excited shouts of his companions, who had stayed here to wait for him.

Lin Suisui watched as this group of people ran over from afar. Then, they cooperated and blended into their team. In less than ten minutes, they arrived at the temporary camp.

There were about a hundred soldiers brought by Gu Han.

They didn’t have time to wait here these past few days, so they prepared a lot of food. After they took out the wild sheep they had hunted from the grassland and washed them, they began to prepare the northern barbarians’ specialty­roast lamb.

After Lin Suisui alighted from the carriage, she didn’t go far from Lu Ze.

As she looked at the busy camp, she didn’t plan to join in and cause trouble. Instead, she chose a quiet place to sit down and observe the actions of the people in front of her.

Before long, Lin Suisui felt that something was wrong.

She kept feeling that something was staring at her from the side. This nervousness and uneasiness made her get up from the ground quickly. As she retreated to the middle of the camp, she carefully sized up the grassland outside.

As expected, she saw a bush not far away shake. A white furry head popped out from inside. Then, it plunged into her arms and pushed her to the ground…

“Little White, why are you here?” Lin Suisui reached out and rubbed Little White’s fluffy tiger head. Although she was surprised, she was more worried and shocked. “Didn’t I tell you to stay at home obediently?”

The grassland wasn’t suitable for tigers, and this trip was too dangerous, so Lin Suisui didn’t want to bring Little White along.

Therefore, before she left, she entrusted the task of taking care of and feeding Little White to Bai Guo.

However, she didn’t expect this little fellow, who looked fine before she left, to secretly follow her!

“What should we do?” Lin Suisui had no choice but to bring Little White, who was excited to see her, to look for Lu Ze. Then, she looked at Little White helplessly as she asked Lu Ze for a solution.

“Since it’s here, let it follow us.” Lu Ze wasn’t surprised by Little White’s appearance. This little fellow was very cunning. It had probably discovered their plan to go out long ago, so it had been lying low. It waited for them to go out today before following them.

Moreover, it had the experience of being chased back halfway, so this time, the little fellow didn’t appear immediately. Instead, it tailed them all the way and it only appeared when it knew that it was impossible for them to chase it back.

However, there were also benefits to Little White being around.

If it followed Lin Suisui, firstly, it could intimidate some factions and secondly, it was a form of protection for her.

“White Tiger!” Gu Han came over to invite Lu Ze and Lin Suisui over for dinner. As soon as he appeared, he was shocked by Little White, who stood in front of Lin Suisui and stared at him warily.

He had heard of them having an auspicious white tiger before, but he didn’t expect Lin Suisui and Lu Ze to raise it safely until now. After all, even if it was an auspicious animal, it was still a tiger that would eat people!

When a wild tiger went crazy, it was extremely terrifying.

However, what did he see in front of him? Not only did this white tiger not leave, but it was also protecting the woman in front of him. This…

He must be seeing things!

“It’s fine. Little White, he doesn’t have any ill intentions for the time being.” Lin Suisui could feel Little White’s tension, so she quickly squatted down and stroked the top of Little White’s head gently to comfort it. “He probably came over to call us for dinner.

You must be starving after traveling with us all day.. Let’s go over and see what there is to eat first, okay?”
