Xia Ruqing no longer objected, and Zhao Junyao did not mind.
Half a month later, the Crown Prince Zhao Qichen and Marquis Zhongyong Xia Tingfeng led ten thousand elite soldiers heading towards the Northwest.
Because they were traveling incognito.
The two of them loaded over a dozen carts of goods, disguised as a merchant convoy, bringing fewer than a hundred men with them.
The remaining ten thousand elite soldiers secretly protected them along a small path.
The merchant convoy moved slowly.
Every time the ten thousand soldiers arrived at a city, they had to temporarily garrison there for a few days.
Although it was very inconvenient, there was no better way!
Carrying so many goods made them a conspicuous target in the Northwest.
The opponent wouldn't even spare the meager savings of poor commoners, let alone such a heap of wealth!
They could disguise as bandits at any time, emerging from some unknown corner.
A rampage of burning, killing, and looting.
