542: Arrival in Wancheng

After half a day of travel, dusk had already fallen, and the troops set up camp on the spot, rested, and started fires for cooking.

Various army tasks were naturally handled by specialized personnel, so Xiao Feng only needed to wait for arrangements.

During dinner, Xiao Feng naturally sat at the same table as Zhao Feng, enjoying the highest treatment, on par with Zhao Feng.

After all, he was a "savior."

"General Zhao, how much of the journey have we covered so far?" Xiao Feng found a topic to chat with Zhao Feng about during dinner.

"We've covered about a third of the way," Zhao Feng thought for a moment, estimated the journey, and then said to Xiao Feng, "There are about five more days of travel, and we should reach Ban City.

The main reason is that the army can't move quickly. And with the current situation, the progress is even slower..."

Zhao Feng sighed and said, "Delays breed trouble. I'm just worried that something else might go wrong on the road in the coming days!

However, I've already sent people to request reinforcements, and they went in four or five different routes, just in case the scouts encounter trouble on the way.

If everything goes smoothly, we should link up with the reinforcements on the second or third day."

"Hmm..." Xiao Feng listened to Zhao Feng's words and nodded. The other party was very meticulous and cautious in his actions. He didn't understand this aspect, so he didn't say anything.

The next day.

Xiao Feng heard movement early in the morning, got up, and came out of his tent to see the troops already packing up.

"Brother Xiao! You're awake! I was thinking of calling you after we finished packing," Zhao Feng said with a smile when he saw Xiao Feng.

"I didn't expect you all to be up so early. Luckily, I usually get up early to practice," Xiao Feng said with a smile. It was still barely dawn.

"Someone! Bring some water!" Zhao Feng called out to the side, then turned to Xiao Feng and said, "Just quickly wash up, and once we're almost done packing, we'll start cooking breakfast. After we eat and finish up, we can continue on our way."

"Thank you!" Xiao Feng nodded.

"No trouble at all! It's my duty!" Zhao Feng said with a slight shake of his head and a smile.

Soon, a soldier brought a small basin of water, which also contained a clean towel.

Xiao Feng thanked him, took the basin, and quickly washed up.

The troops were almost done packing. Everyone was working, and the entire process was very well-practiced. They immediately started cooking, each performing their assigned duties.

Xiao Feng, however, became an outsider, only able to watch.

He felt that participating in any part of it would only cause trouble... It was better to stay quiet and not add to anyone's burden.

"Breakfast is quite simple. I wonder if you'll be used to it," Zhao Feng said to Xiao Feng.

Breakfast consisted of plain porridge, salted vegetables, some wild vegetables found nearby, and some dried meat. In terms of rations, it was actually quite good.

After breakfast, the soldiers quickly finished up and set off.

It was still dim, and Xiao Feng rode his horse beside Zhao Feng.

For the next three days, they didn't encounter any enemies along the way, and instead, smoothly met the arriving reinforcements.

Under the escort of the reinforcements, the large army headed towards Ban City.

When he saw the city gate of Ban City, Xiao Feng could feel Zhao Feng beside him visibly letting out a sigh of relief.

It seemed that even with the reinforcements, he still couldn't completely relax.

"Brother Xiao, don't rush off later. I'll handle all your arrangements in Ban City!" Zhao Feng said to Xiao Feng.

"No, no! I don't plan to stay in Ban City. I need to hurry and continue on to Wan City, finish this commission early, and return to Yan Yu Sect early," Xiao Feng said to Zhao Feng. He was very bored being alone outside. Hmm, it was the fifth day he missed his master.

"Is that so! Then come with me to the military camp! I'll prepare something for you," Zhao Feng thought for a moment and said to Xiao Feng.

"Okay!" Xiao Feng nodded, not asking what Zhao Feng was preparing for him. After all, he would know soon enough, so there was no need to ask more and waste time here.

Zhao Feng briefly gave some instructions to his adjutant, then led Xiao Feng to his "main tent."

"I'll write you a letter, and it will have my seal. Zhao Qing, the City Guard General of Wan City, is a good brother of the same clan as me. When you get there, give him the letter, and it will make things more convenient for you in Wan City," Zhao Feng said to Xiao Feng, then quickly wrote a letter, stamped it with his seal, and sealed the opening with sealing wax.

"Here," Zhao Feng handed the envelope to Xiao Feng.

"Thank you, General Zhao!" Xiao Feng gratefully took it and put it away.

"Let me give you a military horse! It's much better than your current horse!" Zhao Feng said to Xiao Feng.

"Then thank you very much!" Xiao Feng expressed his gratitude. If he had a military horse, his journey could be shortened considerably.

"You're welcome! You saved Ban City, and you saved my life!" Zhao Feng waved his hand and said, "I will also report this Credit truthfully, don't worry! I guarantee I won't hide anything! And it will be credited to Yan Yu Sect."

"Then thank you, General Zhao!" Xiao Feng said with a smile and a nod. He wouldn't be modest about such things.

And what was his, should be his.

Xiao Feng left his original horse and mounted a military horse Zhao Feng gave him.

This horse, in terms of physique and other aspects, was much stronger than his original horse. Its height alone was more than a head taller.

It was tall and large, looking very powerful.

Its endurance and speed were also top-notch.

Xiao Feng swung onto the horse and said to Zhao Feng, "Then, General Zhao, I'll be leaving now!"

"Hmm! Have a safe journey!" Zhao Feng waved goodbye to Xiao Feng, "I hope we'll have a chance to meet again!"

"We will!" Xiao Feng smiled, then spurred his horse and rode off towards Wan City.

Clip-clop-clop~ Xiao Feng galloped on his horse. He had to admit, riding a military horse was exhilarating!

Xiao Feng was still in a very joyful mood. He was about to reach Wan City, and this was the last stop!

It had taken nearly a month in total, and it was finally nearing its end.

After another four days of travel, with the military horse, the accumulated journey was a day faster.

Xiao Feng saw the city gate of Wan City. Compared to Ban City, Wan City's gate was taller and thicker.

The city should also be larger than Ban City.

"Stop! Who goes there!" The soldiers immediately spotted Xiao Feng galloping towards them and shouted loudly to halt him.

"I'm from Ban City! I have urgent business to see your City Guard General - Zhao Qing!" Xiao Feng shouted to the city gate guards.

"Wait!" Seeing Xiao Feng alone, riding a military horse, and directly stating their general's name, the soldier told Xiao Feng to wait and went to find Zhao Qing.

Two teams of soldiers came over, subtly keeping an eye on Xiao Feng.
