The general's wife took her child on the road to exile

Chapter 227: Hunting cheetahs in the northern wilderness...

The Northern Wilderness is a place that makes people shake their heads when talking about it.

The temperature here is extremely low...the land is barren and the harvest from growing some crops is not enough to buy enough money to buy seeds.

There are very few natives living in the Northern Wilds. Most of them are exiled officials from the capital, or bandits who have been detained by the government. They were escorted to the Northern Wilds by officials, and the long journey cost them half their lives.

The Northern Wilderness is adjacent to the Ort Kingdom. Their racial characteristics are similar to the Huns we know... Although they are short and rough in appearance, they look fierce and brave. This country is full of endless grasslands and barren rocky hills. The temperature in winter and summer is more than ten degrees lower than that in the Northern Wilderness, and everyone wears fur coats.

At this moment, the army of General Gu Yiheng, the former god of war of Dayu Dynasty, was marching on the official road outside Lizhou City of Dayu Dynasty. Fifty thousand elite soldiers were marching in unison on the road covered with flying dust.

Deputy General Chu Huaian was riding on a yellow horse. He was wearing a black robe with a shiny black chain mail over it. He wore an eagle-wing black helmet on his head. His eyebrows were long and his pair of auspicious eyes were full of solemnity and frost.

Chu Huaian, a veteran of the battlefield, couldn't understand why his superiors sent him a disabled man, Gu Yiheng, with broken meridians in his hands and feet. Even though he was once a martial arts master known as the Dayu God of War, that was after all the time when Gu Yiheng was healthy with intact hands and feet. Ever since General Gu returned to the imperial capital after winning the battle, the Fifth Prince soon found out that General Gu had solid evidence of treason, and his property had been confiscated and he had been exiled to the Southern Wilderness for several months.

If it weren't for the frequent defeats in Donghuang, the emperor would not have issued an order to recall the criminal Gu Yiheng. As a result, General Gu did not come to Donghuang. Instead, a female sorceress came to Donghuang where the two armies were facing each other. She single-handedly slaughtered tens of thousands of the enemy's troops.

From then on, Gu Yiheng returned to the imperial capital, where he lived leisurely in the post house every day, until recently when the Emperor Qilian Xiaotian fell ill for a long time and was unable to attend court, and the Empress began to interfere in state affairs.

The court is becoming increasingly chaotic...

The Minister of War had no one to send recently, so he actually let Gu Yiheng be the commander-in-chief to go to the Northern Wilderness for support.

Deputy General Chu felt that the Minister of War must want Gu Yiheng to go to the battlefield to die.

After the army had traveled thirty miles since the morning, the red glow of the setting sun gradually faded from the sky and dusk had already fallen...

Deputy General Chu waved his whip to signal the army to stop. He arranged for the centurions to lead their teams to set up pots and stoves, preparing to cook some hot meals in the evening. As they had been traveling so fast in the past few days, they had to eat dry food for three meals a day most of the time.

Not far away, a clear stream flowed slowly from west to east. In the distance, two pheasants ran out from the dark green bushes.

Chu Huaian held the bow and shot two arrows at two colorful pheasants. After a burst of shrill rooster crows, three or two fat, gray-black, half-grown wild boars rushed out from the bushes.

He curled his lips and shot a few more arrows.

Chu Huaian was born as a top scholar in martial arts. He was an outstanding person in both literary talent and martial arts.

Gu Yiheng was in the carriage at the back, watching Chu Huaian's archery skills through the curtain. He nodded and felt that this trip would be less stressful.

Chu Huaian instructed several capable subordinates to go hunting in the nearby mountains and forests, as there should be a lot of prey in this place.

Within an hour, several people came back carrying three deer, five wolves and a leopard.

Chu Huaian was stunned...

There were more prey here than he had imagined. Chu Huaian ordered a few people to put down the prey and search the surrounding area to see if there was anything else to be found.

In the coach's carriage...

Gu Yiheng was wearing a bright silver armor. He leaned comfortably on the cushion, holding a cup of tea and sipping it slowly. This spiritual tea was one of the many good things his wife Ye Jiu left behind when she came secretly to the imperial capital last time.

He missed his wife in his heart, and Gu Yiheng missed his delicate little daughter Gu Tianer even more.

Ye Jiu gave him a space-recording stone, which used spiritual energy to record many images of his little girl.

This thing was a good thing that the general's wife Ye Jiu tinkered with four months ago.

Gu Yiheng's secret guard Xiu Ba was standing outside the carriage at this time. Xiu Ba was wearing a dark blue soldier's uniform. His sharp eyes were staring at anyone who wanted to approach the carriage.

He must inform General Gu immediately and make Gu Yiheng quickly become a disabled person with his hands and feet unable to move.

In the distance, a large pot was emitting steam. In the pot, a mixture of vegetable leaves, millet and minced meat was cooked. When it was cooked, it could be eaten with hot pancakes. It was a rare delicacy.

The person in charge was responsible for cooking pheasant meat stewed with mushrooms in a small pot for the marshal and the deputy general.

On a large grill over the fire was a pile of roasted wolf meat and leopard legs.

The air nearby was filled with the tempting aroma of barbecued meat and the unique sweet flavor of minced meat porridge.

Chu Huaian ordered some people to set up tents and camp nearby at night.

He took off his heavy armor and walked to an old tree and stood there. He carefully observed the wetness of the soil near the roots of the tree. Deputy General Chu looked at the sky again and he always felt that it would rain heavily tomorrow.
