Mountains and rivers are waiting for you to return

Chapter 249 Wartime Base Camp

The war is intense and there is no peace.

Da Xian has already arranged the affairs of the State of Lu, and all that is left is waiting for the Qilu border troops and government personnel to arrive and take over.

They didn't have time to stay in Linluyuan for too long.

The next morning, Pei Nai and his party led the Pei family army northward, their destination being the East Border Combat Base Camp, 500 miles west of the Tianyao border.

During the Lu Shi War, Tianyao and Qilu provided urgent support, the supplies carried by the army were not sufficient, and Linluyuan's own carrying capacity was also limited.

Therefore, they decided to hold the celebration banquet when they arrived at the wartime base camp.

By then, all countries in the Eastern Alliance will gather together, and everyone will be able to strengthen their relationships with each other, which will be conducive to cultivating comradeship and better preparing for the upcoming final war.

Gongyang Zisheng and the royal guards of Qilu will temporarily stay in Lu State to ensure the safety of the people in Linluyuan.

Da Xian, together with his adjutant Wenren Jiangmo and others, will head north with Pei Nai and the Pei family army to first arrive at the East Border Combat Base to participate in the early deployment.

Gongyang Zisheng, the Qilu royal army, and three other Qilu armies will also go to the combat base camp to join everyone.

In addition, the garrisons in the western states of Qilu, the three major border armies in the western border, and two independent armies have all moved westward as a whole, made wartime preparations, and awaited orders to be dispatched at any time.

When Pei Nai and his companions were leaving Linluyuan and were about to set off, they heard the anxious shouts of Chai Yaojin and others from behind.

"General Pei! Please stay for now!"

When Pei Nai heard the sound, he turned his horse around and stopped, only to see that the gate of Linluyuan Mountain was wide open and all the survivors of the Lu Kingdom came out.

A huge crowd followed Chai Yaojin and looked at her solemnly.

Pei Nai was a little confused.

"We want to apologize to you for our disrespect before the war, and thank you for everything you have done for Linluyuan and all the survivors of the Lu Kingdom!" Chai Yaojin shouted loudly.

The sound was deep and melodious, echoing far across the valleys and plains.

As he finished speaking, he and everyone behind him bent down and bowed to apologize to Pei Nai.

Apart from the survivors of Luguo, only a few people knew the inside story and the reason why they apologized.

When the Wu army arrived, they did not protect Pei Nai at the first time. They did not trust her and even wanted to hand her over to Yue Siji in order to protect themselves, which almost caused a big mistake.

But she used fireworks to call for support and saved everyone in Linluyuan.

After she escaped from danger and reunited with the army and her companions, she did not pursue responsibility. Instead, she first considered the survivors' future and arranged their future.

Such a character and demeanor made all of them ashamed.

Pei Nai understood what they meant, smiled, tilted his head slightly, and waved at them on horseback.

The gesture of waving is a farewell, it means letting them go back, and it also means that it’s okay.

After Pei Nai gave his signal, he turned around and continued on his way with Gu Jinheng, Han Ruize, Da Xian and other members of the alliance team.

Pei Nai blinked and smiled at them.

Their adventure in Lu State finally ended, but the road ahead continued.

The future is uncontrollable, but even if the road ahead is blocked by chasms and abysses, as long as everyone is by each other's side, they have the confidence to cut through the mountains and fill the valleys and keep going.

In the evening, the sky is full of clouds and the evening mist is thin.

After seven days of marching, they finally arrived at the Eastern Frontier Wartime Base Camp west of Tianyao.

When they arrived, the Tianyao troops and about half of the Eastern Territory allied forces had already been stationed there, waiting for many days.

Allied forces from many other countries are also on the way and will arrive soon.

On the vast barren plain, various armies set up camp in an orderly manner around the central command camp, with strong outer fortifications.

The scene before him was extremely magnificent; the camp of Mars Star Tun seemed to reach straight to the sky at first glance.

Millions of troops from all the countries in the East are here to prepare for battle and jointly fight against the Western Alliance led by the Wu tribe.

The unprecedented grand scale of the event shocked any spectator.

There is no panic of the impending war here. When the armies of various countries gather here, it is a grand occasion that only happens once in a thousand years. All the soldiers feel honored to be present at this event.

Pei Nai and his men led the three divisions of the Pei family army and entered the camp from the southeast entrance of the wartime base camp.

The road was between the camps of two foreign armies.

When the soldiers heard the voices of the allied forces, they came out of their tents and stopped by the roadside to watch. The wind was blowing and the flags were fluttering.

The allied soldiers recognized Pei Nai and Han Ruize based on their weapons. The leisurely feeling in their eyes when watching the excitement suddenly disappeared. Instead, they showed a bit of serious respect and saluted to them with the military salute of their respective countries.

After walking for a long distance, the three divisions of the Pei family army turned left and returned to the Tianyao Pei family army's garrison camp.

Pei Nai and his men continued forward and entered the headquarters camp at the center of the wartime base.

Zhong Lin, Lin Shengtao, Du Ling and many of Tianyao’s main generals came out to greet them.

Everyone was tired after all the hard work, so they dismounted and followed the leader to get settled.

Gu Jinheng got off the horse before Pei Nai, and walked over quickly. After she landed, he supported her, his brows filled with worry: "Are your legs bruised?"

Pei Nai shook his head. "It seems not. This march was a little slower than the Valley Country Counterattack, so there were no external injuries."

"Does it hurt?" Gu Jinheng carefully observed her expression.

Pei Nai couldn't lie, so he nodded, "My bones and muscles hurt."

As soon as she finished speaking, a familiar figure appeared in her field of vision.

“Sister Pei Nai!” Da Xi Shangle ran over and gave her a big hug.

Pei Nai hugged her back and asked in surprise, "You're here too?"

"Well, my martial arts skills are pretty good. Although I can't defeat the generals from the Western Territory, I can still kill some small soldiers. I don't want to miss the opportunity to fight alongside you." Da Xi Shangle said to her coquettishly.

Pei Nai looked back at the others' reactions.

Da Xi An didn't even bother to say hello to his sister. Everyone else just waved or smiled at Da Xi Shangle as a gesture of acknowledgment of the reunion.

The one who reacted the most was Shao Liran.

The two have not seen each other since their last quarrel and separation in Steel City, the Kingdom of the Valley.

At this moment, when Shao Liran saw Da Xi Shangle, his eyes widened and he stared at this side intently, wanting to say something but stopping himself, as if he really wanted to come over.

Pei Nai coughed, pretended to lead the horse to walk to the side, giving Shao Liran a chance to take action.

She walked to the side and Gu Jinheng followed closely behind her.

Pei Nai turned around at this time and saw Gu Jinheng's expression. He pursed his lips slightly, and his eyes were filled with self-blame and sadness again.

After all, Pei Nai didn't allow him to use Dandao's magical energy to relieve the pain in her legs outside. That place was too private and she couldn't adapt to it outside.

Therefore, every time she went on a long horse ride, Gu Jinheng was at a loss and could only feel distressed and constantly blame himself.

"Then let's sleep together tonight? You help me relieve the pain?" Pei Nai asked tentatively.

Gu Jinheng nodded, as if he was eager to get it, "Okay."

Han Ruize handed the horse rope to the soldier who was leading the horse, and walked over to ask Pei Nai, "Do you have any more blood-activating and blood-stasis-dissolving medicine for external application?"

Pei Nai nodded, "Yes, don't worry."

Han Ruize's expression was still not very good, and every time this happened, he would glance coldly at Gu Jinheng.

Because Pei Nai always has to endure pain and suffering when he travels a long distance.

He couldn't help but feel resentful towards Gu Jinheng about the saddle incident, so he showed his dissatisfaction, which always made Gu Jinheng feel even worse.

Gu Jinheng endured it every time. Many times when he arrived at the tent at night and faced her alone, his eyes would be wet and red.

There was no need for Han Ruize and the others to remind him, he was already tormenting himself in his heart.

Pei Nai had no choice.

She knew that Gu Jinheng's mood would only improve when the inner thigh and bones were healed and the pain was gone.

Before they could talk about anything else, a group of foreign people came from a distance, led by a beautiful and charming young woman.

As she walked forward, the jewelry on her body jingled, attracting everyone's attention.

Pei Nai didn't know her, but the other Qilu people were on guard.

"Lei Xirui? What are you doing here?" Da Xian asked her in a bad tone.
