That night passed peacefully, and Yan Kongyue and the others woke up naturally.
Especially Lin Xiao, who had a workload overseas that was no less than Lin Lie's. He had a lot on his mind, and his sleep quality was poor, yet he surprisingly managed to sleep for a whole hour.
"Yan Kongyue, are we ready to set off?"
"Call Minister Liao or Xu Ju to check in. If they have no issues, we can go!"
Lin Qian was now Yan Kongyue's special assistant; as long as he was given a task, he would take care of it.
"Sure! You're already the spokesperson for Yan Kongyue!"
"That's right! Don't even think about competing with me, even if you are my brother!"
"Oh, getting spirited now!"
Lin Qian raised his chin defiantly at Lin Xiao before heading out to the terrace to make the call.
A few minutes later, Lin Qian returned from the terrace and waved at everyone.
"We can set off! Minister Liao has already returned to the capital, and Xu Ju has no issues either. Let's just hope we can keep in touch with Xiao Wujing and the others!"
"Great! Let's go!"
They boarded the modified business vehicle, which now had six people instead of five.
"Lin Qian, where's our next stop?"
"We're tentatively planning to head to Xiangcheng, over six hundred kilometers away. We should arrive by nightfall. We can discuss any matters along the way."
Throughout the journey, Feng Xing and Huo Jingyu chatted nonstop, recounting their experiences from the past few days to Lin Feng and Lin Xiao.
When they talked about the Ghost Army, Lin Feng became incredibly excited. He had admired ancient generals who fought on battlefields since he was young; this was also why he wanted to join the military so badly.
"Yan Kongyue, when are you going to introduce General Song and them to Third Brother?"
"No problem! Later, we'll find a quiet place and give them what Fourth Brother prepared for them to take along!"
"That would be great! It would be even better if we could drink with them."
"You won't be able to outdrink them; General Song's soldiers can hold their liquor like no other."
"That's different! I heard that ancient wines had lower alcohol content; they're not like our drinks today."
"Alright, you'll see when the time comes!"
Yan Kongyue looked at the map and said, "There’s a valley up ahead and a river nearby. How about we head there? It should be just in time for dinner!"
"Sounds good! How many kilometers do we have left?"
"Quite a few kilometers!"
"I remember we bought a barbecue grill when we set out, right?"
"Yeah, and we still have the tent!" Huo Jingyu's eyes sparkled with excitement.
"Let’s spend the night in the mountains!"
"Sure! Lin Xiao had been abroad for over half a year and hadn’t felt this relaxed in a long time. Being with his brothers, whom he had grown up with, filled him with anticipation for the journey ahead."
As the sun began to set, the car drove down a country road lined with trees.
But soon enough, the road disappeared.
"What kind of navigation is this? After all this detouring, why can’t we reach that mountain?"
" Brother Qian, do we need to hike through the forest ahead?"
Lin Qian opened the map again to study it. "Hmm, it looks like we do."
"Then let’s go! What are we waiting for? We’re already over two hours behind schedule; Yan Kongyue must be starving."
"It’s fine. You guys haven’t been idle these past two hours either. The skewers are ready; once we get there, we can just start a fire and grill them."
One by one, they got out of the car. Feng Xing, as usual, stored the vehicle in his space bag. Lin Feng and Lin Xiao already understood how the Qiankun Bag worked but hadn’t tried it yet. Seeing the car vanish into thin air felt a bit surreal.
"You’ll get used to it. We were just like you at first!"
"Let’s go! Sitting in the car all day is perfect for stretching our legs."
As they stepped into the forest, while others felt nothing unusual, Lin Xiao couldn’t shake off the chill creeping down his neck.
