The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 1111
[Chapter 1111 Leaving Again, Heading North]
Lin Tian certainly didn’t want to see Chen Huifang like this, so after the housekeeper reported something to Lin Tian, Ming Tian thought of a perfect way to get Chen Huifang out.
Lin Tian tricked Chen Huifang out with the excuse of going out to travel. Although Chen Huifang was not so willing at first, her mood seemed to have changed a lot after the carriage set off.
Jizhou, the capital of Yan State, was originally near the mountains. If you want to travel, you may be able to see the mountains after leaving the capital of Yan State.
Although it is not winter yet, the weather is abnormally cold now, and even the lake has frozen. So, naturally there is no scenery to appreciate.
What’s more, Lin Tian led Chen Huifang out of the capital of Yan State and headed west. Although the climate in the south of Yan State is warmer, it is also autumn, so the temperature is naturally not very high, and it is not suitable for traveling.
Chen Huifang really couldn’t understand what Lin Tian was thinking and why he wanted to take her out to travel now.
Although Chen Huifang was curious, she did not ask Lin Tian when she first set out. She just thought that she might feel more relaxed if she went out with Lin Tian, so she did not think too much.
But after they arrived at Lin Tian’s fiefdom, Lin Tian stopped for a while and arranged some things that the villagers had to do recently, as well as some special things that needed to be paid attention to. Then, Lin Tian took Chen Huifang away.
Originally, Lin Tian did not plan to take Guard Ying and Guard Lie with him on this trip, but they insisted on following him. Lin Tian thought that they might encounter some dangers along the way, so he did not stop them too much.
Instead, he deliberately repeated to them that they should stay away from him and not appear in front of him when it was not necessary, so that Guard Ying and Guard Lie would not disturb him and Chen Huifang’s world of two.
Lin Tian originally wanted to drive the carriage himself, but he could not help the burning feeling of the sharp autumn wind blowing on his face, so Lin Tian had to call Guard Ying and Guard Lie to drive the carriage. When Lin Tian
saw the smiles on their faces when they came over, he had a strong desire to strangle them to death. But Lin Tian could only sigh helplessly and then got back into the carriage.
At Lin Tian’s request, they wanted to go all the way north this time. Although the cold winter was coming, there was nothing to enjoy even in the south of Yan State. Now they could only enjoy the ice and snow in the north.
Lin Tian had wanted to see the snow for a long time, but he had never had the chance. Even if he had not become the prime minister of Yan State, he would have had plenty of opportunities, but at that time, Lin Tian did not have enough conditions to make Lin Tian squander.
Therefore, although there are such good conditions now, and he can blatantly not go to court, and he does not have to face the emperor’s stinky face, so Lin Tian had already made this plan in his heart.
Before leaving, Lin Tian also specifically asked the housekeeper to prepare some winter cotton clothes for him and Chen Huifang and put them in the car in case of emergency.
Of course, Chen Huifang did not know all this. If Chen Huifang knew, she might not go with Lin Tian.
After all, Chen Huifang grew up in Qi, where the climate is warmer than that of Yan. Chen Huifang has never seen the cold in the north of Yan. If Chen Huifang knew, she would doubt whether she could stand the cold.
So, after Lin Tian made up his mind, the four of them headed north.
As they headed north, they felt the temperature getting lower and lower, and gradually they put on more clothes. Lin Tian became bloated and laughed when he saw Chen Huifang beside him.
This trip was the same as the previous one. Every time they could replenish their daily necessities, they would stop to replenish their daily necessities. Some were in small towns, some were in cities, and some were even in mountain villages.
Lin Tian, Chen Huifang, and the four of them, including Guard Ying and Guard Lie, walked for more than 20 days before the scenery in front of them changed, from the original withered yellow to a vast expanse of snow-white.
When they saw this, Lin Tian knew that they were almost at the border of Yan. If they went further north, they would probably enter the range of the Xiongnu.
While Yan State was fighting fiercely with other countries, the Xiongnu in the north of Yan State and Zhao State did not participate in the struggle between them at all, and seemed to be staying out of it. However, Lin Tian, as the prime minister of Yan State, naturally knew the situation Yan State was facing now.
Fortunately, there was the Great Wall in the north of Yan State, which could easily resist the invasion of the Xiongnu. Although Lin Tian did not know the situation of Zhao State, he thought that Zhao State was probably the same. If there was no Great Wall in the north, the Xiongnu would probably lose most of Zhao State’s territory if they went south.
“Master, we have reached the border of Yan State. I don’t know which city is the last city of Yan State. I am afraid that if we go further, there will be no other cities or mountain villages for us to rest. Do
you think we should return after resting here, or continue to move forward? If we meet the Xiongnu at that time, we will not be able to resist them.”
The guard Ying suddenly interrupted Lin Tian’s thoughts, suddenly stuck his head into the car, and said to Lin Tian.
Originally, nothing embarrassing happened between Lin Tian and Chen Huifang, but under the gaze of Guard Ying, the atmosphere between them suddenly became awkward.
Lin Tian saw Guard Ying suddenly put his head into the carriage, and then saw the look in his eyes when he looked at the two of them, and he wanted to beat up the guard instantly.
But this thought only flashed through Lin Tian’s mind, and then Lin Tian began to think.
“If we continue to move forward, how many days will it take to reach the border garrison of Yan State? Also, how many days can we eat with the dry food we stored?”
After thinking for a moment, Lin Tian asked Guard Ying.
Hearing Lin Tian’s question, Guard Ying also showed a thoughtful look, and after a moment, he said to Lin Tian: “If we continue at this speed, it will take at least three days to reach the border garrison of Yan State, and our food is enough for us to eat for three days. Master, don’t you want to go to the border garrison?”
After hearing what Guard Ying said, Lin Tian didn’t say much, but just nodded calmly.
