"Thank you, Your Highness." Zhao Yanran heard this and smiled.
"Yanran, co quickly, co, let’s ride the carriage together." Mu Wuxia hurriedly waved to Zhao Yanran.
Zhao Yanran smiled, then said to her maid: "You may return now."
"Yes, Miss!"
The group imdiately responded, turned the carriage around, and left.
Afterward, the army set off, heading towards Qin State.
The Imperial City is over a thousand kiloters away from Qin State, with Lu State in between.
In the real-world ancient tis, the urgent march of soldiers at best covered a hundred li a day, equivalent to fifty kiloters.
Of course, this speed is the extre marching speed achieved by discarding supplies and traveling light.
This army of two hundred thousand is far superior to the ordinary ancient people, so their marching speed is naturally faster; they can endure day and night.
Marching two hundred kiloters a day is no problem at all, and that includes daily rest ti.
Most importantly, they can be said to be traveling light, transporting all supplies with storage rings and storage bags.
As the Crown Prince’s trusted army, they must be fully equipped with everything they can get.
Calculating the ti, it would take about five days to travel from the Imperial City to Qin State.
This ti is not considered slow; rather, it is very fast.
"Five days’ ti, I hope no major changes occur." Mu Rufeng murmured.
It is precisely because the distance is too far, that Mu Rufeng asked the Minister of War to dispatch troops from the nearby two states to enter Qin State and guard the Ghost Cave.
...
Five days passed in a blink.
"Finally reached Qin State." Mu Rufeng looked at the huge boundary monunt on the boundary line of the two states and remarked with emotion.
In the past five days, they rested barely one or two hours a day, except for als, the rest of the ti was spent on the move.
The whole group was dusty, and every soldier in the army had a look of fatigue on their faces.
Although they are all martial artists, they still get tired.
"Ma Shu, how far is it from here to the Ghost Cave?" Mu Rufeng asked.
"Your Highness, the boundary monunt is over two hundred li from the Ghost Cave, and more than a hundred li from Demon Suppression City." Ma Shu, sitting on a horse, answered.
Mu Rufeng nodded slightly, then said to Ye Lin: "We are now in Qin State, the army is exhausted, rest here for an hour."
Upon hearing this, Ye Lin imdiately instructed a few ssengers to pass on the order.
After receiving the order, the two hundred thousand troops breathed a sigh of relief and began to rest on the spot.
If they had to march another two hundred li to fight, they felt they would be too exhausted to fight.
Being able to rest for an hour was also a relief.
"Ye Lin, let the army rest here first, we will go to the Ghost Cave to have a look." Mu Rufeng said.
"Yes, Your Highness." Ye Lin nodded.
During these five days, every day ssengers from Qin State ca to report the latest situation.
In general, the Death Qi in the Ghost Cave stops expanding during the day and rapidly expands once it’s night.
The Demon Suppression Army used oil and burning materials to block it, which effectively slowed down the expansion speed.
In one night, it expands about fifteen li.
Now, after five nights, it has expanded nearly ninety li, leaving only ten li from Demon Suppression City.
Currently, the millions of troops from the two neighboring states have long arrived and are engaged in battle with undead creatures.
The total troop deploynt has reached over a million.
Mu Rufeng’s two hundred thousand troops were temporarily of no significant use and were allowed to rest.
Mu Rufeng planned to take Ye Lin and Jiang Caiwei to the front line to take a look.
Upon hearing this news, Mu Wuxia wanted to follow, and Zhao Yanran also wanted to go along.
"Nonsense, have you forgotten you must listen to for everything? Stay with the army, do not go out. I will go to Demon Suppression City to take a look first." Mu Rufeng said.
"Do not wander off, wait for to return, or don’t bla if Elder Ming sends you back." Mu Rufeng said.
Elder Ming is a strong early-stage Divine Realm Level 9 expert and also the protector of Mu Wuxia.
It is typical for a princess to have a protector, but usually, it is at most a Soul Refining level protector.
But because Mu Wuxia is the Empress’s daughter, deeply loved by the Empress, Emperor, and Empress Dowager, she has a Divine Realm protector.
"Yanran too, do not wander off, or I will have the elder send you back as well." Mu Rufeng said sternly.
"Alright, I understand." Zhao Yanran nodded with a smile.
Soon, Mu Rufeng rode the Jiao Lin Horse with Ye Lin, Jiang Caiwei, Zhang Fuquan, and the three hundred trusted aides he led.
As for Xu Lian and Tian Youdao, they remained with the New Army.
The Jiao Lin Horse was extrely fast, and in just two quarters of an hour, the group arrived at the foot of Demon Suppression City.
At this mont, Demon Suppression City was full of heavily ard soldiers and a large number of evacuees, making the city seem extrely bustling.
"Who rides, stop at once!"
Before they got close to the city gate, they saw soldiers at the gate imdiately stepping forward to shout loudly.
There were too many people here, riding fast would undoubtedly cause a big problem.
"How dare you, this is the Crown Prince!" Ma Shu imdiately stepped forward and scolded angrily.
The soldiers saw it was the third son of General Ma’s family, then imdiately realized and knelt on the ground: "Greetings to the Crown Prince!"
The surrounding soldiers and the people were also surprised, and then they all knelt on the ground, shouting greetings to the Crown Prince.
"No need for such formalities, rise." Mu Rufeng dismounted.
"Zhang Fuquan, station the trusted aides here. We will go into the city to find General Ma." Mu Rufeng instructed.
"Yes, Your Highness." Zhang Fuquan replied and led the trusted aides to station on a vacant lot nearby.
Subsequently, Mu Rufeng and the others entered Demon Suppression City.
Demon Suppression City was built because of the Ghost Cave, constructed by the Ma Family, and the city’s managent was also Ma Family mbers.
Of course, this was also approved by the forr Emperor of Great Li of that generation.
The city was bustling, but not with prosperity, rather with migration and evacuation.
Of course, the Ma Family ordered these people to evacuate.
Because they could not stop the spread of Death Qi, waiting for it to reach Demon Suppression City to evacuate would be too late.
