Zhou Huaijin started to head towards the border.
Due to the constant losses, the 50,000 soldiers arranged by the Saint Divine Land were reduced to 20,000. Zhou Huaijin was not going there alone.
After thinking for a while, the King made the decision the night before, ordering 10,000 people to follow Lord Huai to Xinzhou. Lord Huai’s mission was to keep Xinzhou so that the enemies would not go further into the Saint Divine Land.
It was a very small number of soldiers for the Saint Divine Land, but no one countered that order by the King.
It was still snowing a little on the day when Zhou Huaijin left.
He was riding on a black horse, well-armed and looking strong. Next to him was Gu Chaoyan who was riding a date-color pony.
Gu Chaoyan was dressed as before, nor was she hidden. Zhou Huaijin chose to take Gu Chaoyan to the border openly.
Well…
Zhou Huaijin believed that Gu Chaoyan was qualified enough to go shoulder to shoulder with him!
Neither of them had any expression, but those who were watching felt quite amused. Despite the King’s presence, Zhou Huailing still laughed. “Eighth Brother is so childish. I thought that he was just ambitious to take the mission, but it seems that he is still taking his unmarried Princess Consort! He is just like a child who can not live without his mother. He has been so spoiled.”
The officers and ministers all laughed after hearing what Zhou Huailing said.
They understood that men should never take women with them when they were working outside. Women, in their eyes, were just things for them to have fun with after victory.
Lord Huai was the first one that did so. He just could not live without his mother!
He should watch out not to get captured at Xinzhou!
The officers were all looking quite disdainful, but Zhou Huailing added. “Eighth Brother is still young and it is the first time for him to do a mission. He will grow, so don’t be too strict with him.”
What he said amused the officers more.
The King shook his head. He was very displeased by this son of his. Hopefully, he will grow up.
The King left directly.
When the King was gone, those officers laughed even more loudly.
It was such a rare opportunity to tell a joke about a lord.
The gang was dismissed after the joke.
Zhou Huailing was in a good mood. He had laughed all the way back to his mansion.
***
Zhou Huaijin and Gu Chaoyan were both out of the capital. The road to the border was very far, and it was still snowing inside the capital. The situation was very serious, so Zhou Huaijin and Gu Chaoyan both looked serious.
The King only gave them 10,000 soldiers and the snow would reduce a lot of support by the time they reached Xinzhou.
That was what pestered Zhou Huaijin most.
