Two days later, the twenty thousand men and the provisions of Yuchi Chen set out, and the rest of the men joined them at Tongguan.

Due to the urgency of the situation, Yun Ruo Lu chose not to ride in the horse carriage and rode with Yuchi Chen. It was exactly because of Jin'er's misery that the Jin Se, who did not know how to ride a horse, was laughed to his stomach by Ke Yunjin.

If Yun Ruo didn't help, she would hand everything over to Ke Yunjin. Without a backer, Jinsi could only ask Ke Yunjin to help him. In the end, he still learned how to ride a horse.

This was the first time Yun Ruo Lu realized that riding a horse felt much better than riding a horse in a horse carriage. Not only could she walk while enjoying the scenery, she didn't feel depressed either.

On the other hand, Jin Se and Ke Yunjin would occasionally cause a ruckus, causing the atmosphere to not appear as serious as before. On the contrary, it was as easy as coming out to sightsee.

At night, they camped and rested in the wilderness. Because it was a mountain road, they rarely encountered any villages along the way.

Yun Ruo sat beside the bonfire and leaned against the wild chicken she had caught. Yuchi Chen was in the tent discussing matters with Ke Yunjin, while Jinther was helping to set the fire.

"Empress, do you think we'll be able to return successfully this month?" Jin Se asked while burning firewood.

Yun Ruo gave her a helpless look. Why didn't she realize before that Jinsi was actually so afraid of death?

"Don't worry, as long as Yuchi Chen doesn't die, we won't die."

This was the first time she went to war, so Yun Ruo Lu was excited just thinking about it. He even began to imagine what the ancient battlefield would be like.

Although the battlefield was a very dangerous and cruel place, she still believed that under his unrestrained mask, Yuchi Chen would definitely have a wise and farsighted side.

"Empress, when did you begin to trust Prince so much?"

Jin Se looked at Yun Ruo Lu with a mischievous smile, as if she had found a new world.

Yun Ruo Lu was in a bad mood as she gave Jinsi a shot and said, "This is not trust, because I just believe that the bad guy will definitely die before the good guy!"

"Who's the bad guy? Who is a good person? "Hmm …" This chicken smells so good, This King just so happens to be hungry. "

As soon as Yuchi Chen walked over, he heard Yun Ruo Lu's words. He smelled the fragrance of the roasted chicken and took the freshly roasted chicken from her hands.

"Give it back to me!"

Seeing that Yuchi Chen had started to act shamelessly again, Yun Ruo rushed forward to snatch the roasted chicken, but was quickly dodged by Yuchi Chen.

Seeing that the two of them were about to start a fight, Jinciao consciously moved to the side to avoid the fire from burning her to death.

Yuchi Chen leisurely avoided Yun Ruo's attacks while enjoying the delicious roasted chicken. By the time Yun Ruo Lu had stopped her attack, the chicken had almost been bitten to the bone.

Yun Ruo Lu stood on the spot furiously with her arms folded across her chest. A trace of astonishment flashed across her eyes. What surprised her was not Yuchi Chen's martial arts, but the speed at which he ate the roasted chicken.

"Alright!" We've already eaten dinner, so it's time to get down to business. "

After saying that, Yuchi Chen tossed a complete chicken bone to the side, then patted his hands in a relaxed manner as he pulled Yun Ruo into the tent.

"Why did you pull me in? "Why can't you just say it directly?"

Yun Ruo Lu looked warily at Yuchi Chen. She wisely maintained a distance of one meter away from him. If Yuchi Chen wanted to play any tricks, she had the chance to dodge.

Seeing how Yun Ruo was lying to him, Yuchi Chen said helplessly, "It looks like you don't trust this king. I don't need to tell you such an important secret."

Hearing this secret, Yun Ruo Lu's eyes immediately lit up. She hesitantly took a few steps forward and continued to ask: "You can tell me now, right?"

Yuchi Chen harrumphed. He walked to the chair behind the desk and sat down. He then crooked his finger at Yun Ruo Lu, gesturing her to come over.

Yun Ruo Lu gritted her teeth. Although she felt that Yuchi Chen was getting closer and closer to her goal, she still walked over resentfully for the sake of that so-called secret.

The more unconvinced and distant Yun Ruo and her attitude were, the more Yuchi Chen wanted to anger her.

When he brought Yun Ruo Lu to his side, he used his finger to point at his leg, indicating that she should sit down. In the end, Yun Ruo Lu could no longer hold herself back and turned around to leave.

"Don't you want to know the secret? This is a very serious matter. "

Yuchi Chen purposely pretended to be mysterious. He knew that Yun Ruo Lu's curiosity was piqued. With this as bait, she would definitely not leave.

Sure enough, Yun Ruo You turned around and took two steps before coming to a stop. With a ferocious expression on her face, she sat on Yuchi Chen's lap and said in a crazed tone, "You can say it now!"

If he didn't have any secrets and was just teasing her, she would directly cripple him!

Yuchi Chen had wanted Yun Ruo to serve him some tea and fruits, but he knew better when faced with Yun Ruo's murderous gaze.

He was even more depressed in his heart, thinking, she had already fallen to be a maid, how could she still be so fierce and her aura was so strong!

Thinking up to here, Yuchi Chen felt even more indignant and infuriated. He refused to believe that there was no way he could treat her!

Yuchi Chen coughed, putting away his mischievous look, and said seriously, "We still have about two days until we reach the military camp. Tomorrow, I have to go to an Immortal Island after we cross this mountain, so you and the other generals will go to the military camp. This King will come back immediately after I finish some important matters."

"What Immortal Island?"

Although she was unfamiliar with the environment of this place, she had never heard of any Immortal Island in the vicinity of the Yuchi Dynasty.

"You don't need to ask, just follow vice general Yun Jin."

As Yuchi Chen spoke, his hand moved back and forth between Yunruo and Lianlian, as if teasing or just touching by accident.

Yun Ruo Man glared at him, and asked with an unfriendly tone: "Is this the secret that you mean to be important?"

Seeing the change in Yun Ruo Lu's expression, Yuchi Chen could not help but sigh, "Is the army's lack of a general not a big deal?"

Yun Ruo glanced at Yuchi Chen for some time before punching him on the thigh. He then quickly left, leaving behind an infuriating sentence.

"It's too hard, it hurts my legs!"

Yuchi Chen collapsed onto the table in pain, fuming but unable to stand up. He could only lay there grinding his teeth.

Yun Ruo Lu did not believe what Yuchi Chen was saying. What Immortal Island? It was more like cheating a child.

Before coming here, she had already asked around. In total, Yuchi Chen had only fought once, and that was for a small tribe with less than a thousand people.

At that time, the fifteen-year-old Yuchi Chen had brought twenty thousand men to the prairie to attack, but on the second day of camping, he was carried back to the capital to recuperate from his injuries.

Moreover, his injuries weren't caused by the war, but were caused by the cattle fighting on the prairie. If it weren't for the soldiers finding him in time, he probably would have died at the foot of that cow.

A person who didn't put war at all, and was going to some immortal island at such a critical time, it would be strange if there weren't any ghosts inside!

Coming out of Yuchi Chen's tent, Yun Ruo Lu ran to look for Ke Yunjin, thinking that the two of them had been talking for so long that Ke Yunjin knew nothing.

When they found Ke Yunjin, she was still drawing the battle diagram. Seeing that Yun Ruo You had arrived, she immediately put away the diagram. She looked flustered and she didn't look as relaxed as she usually did.

"Empress, why have you come?"

Even though Yun Ruo Lu had already been demoted to a maid, Ke Yunjin still followed Jin Se's way of addressing Yun Ruo You as' Empress'.

Yun Ruo glanced at the battle map in Ke Yunjin's hands. She did not see it clearly, so she said, "Do you know about the matter of the prince going to the Immortal Island tomorrow?"

Ke Yunjin nodded and regained her calm. She replied, "I know. Your Highness has already told me about this matter. Does the Empress have any other questions?"

"Do you know what kind of place the Immortal Island is? Are you sure that you can let the prince go alone like this? "

Seeing that Ke Yunjin was very confident, he thought that he should know of that place. Otherwise, as a deputy general, how could he not advise the main general? Let him do something dangerous.

"This subordinate isn't very clear. His Royal Highness only said that the Immortal Island isn't an island. It's a good place for people to go to after they've arrived. There won't be any danger."

"You've been there? How do you know there's no danger? "

Being interrogated by Yun Ruo, Ke Yunjin did not know what to say. She could only say, "Empress, Prince must have his reasons for doing things. As his subordinate, I cannot interfere. Moreover, the Empress should trust you."

Since she had already said this, wouldn't it be a little overbearing if she continued to interrogate him? Thus, Yun Ruo Lu didn't say anything more and left.

When Yuchi Chen left the army at this critical moment, she guessed there might be a reason and chose to trust him once.

The next day, when they finally reached the official road, Yuchi Chen bid them farewell at a fork in the road.

They rested in the forest for a while and then continued their journey through the night. When the sun was about to rise, they arrived at the barracks to meet up with the rest of the troops.

After arriving at the military camp safely, Yun Ruo Lu wasn't worried about anything. After all, war was a man's business. Even if she wanted to interfere, these people wouldn't let her interfere.

Yun Ruo who had been tired for two days and two nights slept in the tent until the afternoon. However, there was still no news from Yuchi Chen.

"Empress, Jin'er will tell you a secret."

Seeing that Yun Ruo Lu had woken up, Jinsi excitedly ran to her side and said mysteriously.

Seeing Jinye's expression made her suddenly recall that night when Yuchi Chen had held her in such suspense. Thus, she directly gave Jinsi a burst of chestnut and snappily said, "If you have something to say, just say it! "Don't stutter."
