From then on, Hua Ruge only had two people remaining to travel, occasionally encountering a city blockade, and then he would have to put in some effort, but with Xiao Xue and Ling Feng, the two experts at his side, it was not a problem, it just took him some time.
The Dong Xia was in the southern part of the continent, but Hua Ruge could feel that the weather was getting colder and colder as they travelled. Within a few days, there were already two snowdrifts.
Hua Ruge had always been fearful of the cold, and now that his body was weak, he was even more afraid of the cold.
When she left the Pine Temple, the medicinal master gave her many pills, which he fed her every day.
However, it was not easy to recover from Hua Ruge's severe injuries, and his body was so weak that he would cough a few times from the cold wind.
Xiao Xue was nervous about her body everyday, which made Hua Ruge feel very helpless.
More than once, she clarified that she wasn't like this, that her physique was very good.
Snowy nodded and told her to rest.
Seeing the girl's worried eyes, Hua Ruge could only accept his fate.
Good heavens ?
How could she, Hua Ruge, be reduced to such a state?
Thus, when she laid on her bed, all she could think about was how to take revenge. Once she was fine, she would not spare anyone who had caused her harm that day.
While thinking, she threw a piece of orange into her mouth and bit into it.
The journey south was boring. Fortunately, the journey was only a dozen days or so, and with the delay, they should be there in less than twenty days.
When Hua Ruge was bored, he would ask Xiao Xue to tell her the news he had gathered.
"Miss, the Battle King and the commander of the Da Yu have arrived below the capital city on the same day, and are attacking the city at the same time. I wonder who will be the first to enter."
Snowy was very interested in the news of the day, and she was very happy when it came to it.
"How is Battle King's health?" Hua Ruge was paying attention to another point.
"Battle King will personally lead the troops to the battlefield, it should be fine." Snowy said.
Hua Ruge nodded.
"The citizens of Dong Xia all felt that it was strange. In one night, the troops of Dazhou and Da Yu attacked the Dong Xia as if they had gone mad, as if they were gunpowder that was ignited. I don't know what for."
Xiao Xue looked at Hua Ruge and said, "If this Battle King did it for you, then why did the Da Yu do it for?"
After hearing this, Hua Ruge also felt a bit of doubt.
Could it be that Jun Tianxia was fighting over her?
Jun Tianxia was a very rational person, who ruled over such a large empire, how could he do such a thing on the spur of the moment?
But if that wasn't the case, the timing was too good.
"I still can't figure it out. If I get the chance, we can meet and ask." Hua Ruge said.
Snowy didn't think that she could get an answer, so she didn't ask any further.
After approximately three days, Xiao Xue helped Hua Ruge up the carriage, and said: "Miss, I heard that last night, Battle King took over the capital of the Dong Xia, and detained all of the Imperial Family's people. The Emperor is also locked up, and his Dong Xia has been completely destroyed."
"This news is really satisfying." Hua Ruge said as he ate the buns he brought out from the inn.
Although she was weak, her appetite was not small and she ate a lot along the way.
"How is your Da Yu? Do you have control of the capital against Great Zheng? " Hua Ruge asked.
Xiao Xue shook her head: "No, when we are fighting with the three forces, our forces will not be many when we reach the capital. Therefore, we did not start a war with the Battle King and the Battle King did not have any intention of attacking us either."
Hua Ruge and Jun Tianxia were both ruthless, and once they made a decision, they would win. If the two of them were to fight, it would definitely be a situation where both of them would suffer.
She didn't want to see it.
However, just by analyzing it, he knew that they wouldn't be able to fight in a short period of time.
Zheng had been at war for a long time, so he needed to recuperate.
As for the three branches of the Da Yu, although they had basically finished the battle on the side of the Yutang, they needed to rebuild and regain the hearts of the people. This was even more troublesome than conquering cities and plundering lands, and would also need to be guarded by a large number of troops.
There were a lot of sea areas around the Cang Lan and Cang Lan were also good at water stations. Da Yu were not familiar with the terrain, so going in would take at least a year or so.
Dong Xia occupied a small half of the territory here, so they needed to consolidate their power.
Thus, no matter if it was to the Great Zheng or the Da Yu, it was currently not the best time to fight.
Hua Ruge asked as he ate, "We still need a few more days to reach the capital of the Dong Xia."
"When I asked around today, the people said that it would take five or six days. But now, they have to go through layers of obstacles. I think they'll be there in eight or nine days." Snowy said.
Hua Ruge counted with his fingers, in the end he still did not understand, and asked: "Isn't it just these few days that the new year festival?"
Because her Dong Xia had experienced the fires of war, and even until now, there was still no festive atmosphere, she had nearly forgotten about it.
"Yes, it's the new year in six days." Snowy continued, "This is the first time since I was young that I've spent the New Year outside the shrine. I wonder what kind of scene this is."
She looked expectant.
Hua Ruge thought for a bit and understood the reason, one look at the Pine Temple and he knew there would be no New Year atmosphere.
But what she thought about the most was whether she could reach Tuoba Rui's side before the new year.
The two of them had agreed to spend the New Year together.
For various reasons, this agreement has not been fulfilled for two years, and this year is the most promising.
"Are there any shortcuts, or ways to go faster?" Hua Ruge asked.
Snowy thought for a while and said, "When I buy lunch in a while, I'll go down and ask around."
"Alright." Hua Ruge replied.
At noon, Xiao Xue bought a piping hot soup for Hua Ruge. Hua Ruge was not in a hurry to eat it, he merely asked: "How is your investigation going?"
"Miss, I've already asked around. There is no way for us to get closer, and there is no way to get past the checkpoint." Snowy said.
Hua Ruge raised his eyebrow, he had a plan in mind.
As he walked forward, Hua Ruge saw many people queuing up to pass, their inspections being extremely strict.
The more people there were during the war, the more people there would be. Even after thinking for three days, she still could not think of a way not to line up.
Even though she and Jun Tianxia could be considered acquaintances, she did not have a keepsake in her hands, and the soldiers guarding the city would not give her any privileges.
And that same night, just as she got out of the carriage and entered an inn, she heard loud booing coming from the entire hall of the inn.0
"Did you hear? The Battle King of the Great Zheng wanted to kill everyone in the Dong Xia on the night of the new year.
"What?" This is too cruel! "
"Yeah, I've long heard that he killed people without batting an eyelid, but with so many people saying he would kill them, does he even have any humanity left?!"
Hua Ruge's pupils contracted when he heard her.
