half a month later.

Two fast horses galloped on the official road.

"It will take us half a day to reach the post station. Should we take a rest?" Qi Feng looked at the person next to him.

Since leaving Dahe Village, the people around him have been refreshing his cognition.

His initial attitude towards Su Tang was indeed bad. In his opinion, Su Tang was just a country girl, not even as good as them, the secret guards.

But Su Tang insisted on going north with him, so Qi Feng had to take her with him.

I thought Su Tang might not be able to stand the bumpy road, so I backed out and went back.

However, he did not expect that Su Tang actually persisted and was even more patient than him. She almost walked for a day or two before taking a rest.

"No, we're almost at the northern border, just hold on a little longer." After Su Tang said that, she waved the whip again, and the chestnut horse under her instantly rushed several meters away.

Seeing this, Qi Feng also whipped his horse to urge it to catch up.

After another day of bumpy ride on horseback, Su Tang and the other man finally found a place to stay.

Su Tang took out the map of Northern Frontier that Qi Feng gave her and took a look at it. They should be very close to Beilu City now.

It would be a bit eye-catching to ride on horseback next time.

Su Tang put away the map and looked at Qi Feng, "We won't be able to ride horses if we go any further. I'll go release these two horses."

Qi Feng looked at the two horses that were nibbling on the grass beside him.

These two horses are war horses. After leaving Dahe Village, Qi Feng took Su Tang to the outside of the city, which was their temporary resting place as a secret guard.

There were several war horses of the Qi family army raised there. When the master took Qi Yan and others away earlier, they had already ridden away quite a few of them.

Each of the Qi family's war horses is a top-notch horse selected from thousands of miles away. If not for Su Tang's rapid pace, many other horses would have been exhausted to death.

Su Tang has been traveling day and night these days, and Qi Feng still feels sorry for his two war horses.

When Qi Feng heard that Su Tang was going to release the two war horses, he was really reluctant to let them go.

But what Su Tang said was true. If we went further, we would no longer see any common people.

The two of them on horseback were too conspicuous.

Qi Feng reluctantly took out a hard biscuit from his arms and broke it into two halves.

This was his last ration.

Qi Feng fed the hard biscuits to the two war horses and patted their necks reluctantly.

Su Tang raised her eyebrows at Qi Feng's actions, then pulled the horse towards the woods nearby.

Su Tang was afraid that Qi Feng would follow her, so she said, "I'll go to the bathroom."

Qi Feng had already experienced Su Tang's toughness in the past few days, so he was not surprised at all when Su Tang said this.

It was actually quite difficult for Su Tang to lead the horse through the woods.

It must have been a long time since anyone had entered this woodland, as it was covered with vines and weeds.

Su Tang walked for a while with the two horses and felt that they were some distance away from Qi Feng, so she took the two horses into the space.

Suddenly they felt the environment around them change and the two horses were startled.

The horses paced restlessly. Fortunately, when Su Tang entered the space, she also held the reins of the two horses, so the horses did not break free and run away.

Su Tang touched the necks of the two horses soothingly, "Be good, it's safe here." Su Tang took the horses for a walk around.

The two horses were taken to the vegetable garden at the base.

She has never picked many vegetables from the vegetable garden. Fortunately, the vegetables here never turn yellow and always look green.

Su Tang took the two horses to a vegetable greenhouse where a lot of vegetables were planted.

Su Tang plans to keep the horses here first. The vegetables here will grow on their own soon after the horses eat them.

So Su Tang was not worried that the horse would starve to death if she didn't come for a long time.

Su Tang brought a stone trough and connected it to the tap water in the greenhouse.

As long as the tap is on, the horses will always have water to drink.

"Okay, stay here. I'll come to see you when I'm free." Su Tang patted the chestnut horse's forehead.

This horse has always been hers to ride. Su Tang would secretly take out some food to feed it on weekdays. The chestnut horse has long recognized Su Tang as its owner.

As if it understood, the chestnut horse lowered its head and rubbed Su Tang's palm, then snorted softly.

After watching the horse get familiar with the greenhouse for a while, Su Tang came out of the space.

Su Tang followed the same path back and found Qi Feng taking a nap leaning against a tree.

It is impossible for Qi Feng to fall asleep in this environment.

Sure enough, as soon as Su Tang approached, Qi Feng looked back.

The moment he saw Su Tang, a hint of regret flashed across Qi Feng's eyes.

Sure enough, the two war horses had been released by Su Tang.

I just don't know if the two horses can find their way back by following the same path they came from.

They still have people guarding the previous place where they stayed.

Su Tang also saw the regret in Qi Feng's eyes, so she picked up a water bag and threw it at Qi Feng.

"You just forgot about this." Qi Feng just forgot to take the things off the horse.

Qi Feng took the water bag and smiled awkwardly. He opened the water bag and took a small sip. There was not much water left in it.

"Have a good rest, and we'll head towards Beilu City after dark."

Qi Lingheng had sent a letter to Qi Feng before, so they were sure that Qi Lingheng had entered Beilu City. However, not long after they entered Beilu City, there was no more correspondence.

The eagle that was originally supposed to deliver the message never flew back to Dahe Village.

Along the way, Qi Feng did not see any trace of the flying eagle.

He was carrying something that could attract eagles. If an eagle was outside, it would definitely be able to hear the sound of his whistle.

Qi Feng took out the whistle from his arms and blew it a few more times.

Still didn't get any response.

Qi Feng sighed and continued to doze off leaning against the tree.

Su Tang walked to a tree near Qi Feng, untied the cloth bag behind her, took out a blanket from it and spread it on the ground.

She wiped her hands and took out two big white steamed buns and two salted duck eggs from the cloth bag.

Qi Feng, who was dozing with his eyes closed, heard the sound of eggs being peeled and could not help but open his eyes.

He had just given the last of his dry food to the two horses and only now began to feel hungry.

But he wouldn't ask Su Tang for it.

Su Tang peeled out a whole duck egg with her fingers, broke open the white steamed bun, put it in, and squeezed it hard.

Suddenly the aroma of the duck egg yolk wafted out.

"Gurgle~~" Qi Feng's stomach made a slight sound.

Qi Feng... As secret guards, they were all trained to endure hunger. This kind of sound caused by hunger had never been heard before.

"Here you go." Su Tang handed over the white steamed bun with her fair hands.

The aroma of salted duck egg yolks defeated Qi Feng again.

Qi Feng's hand stretched out uncontrollably, and the moment he took the steamed buns and duck eggs, he also said thank you.

"Eat." Su Tang walked back to her blanket and started eating.

After dinner, Su Tang fell asleep on the blanket.

Su Tang felt relieved with Qi Feng around.

When they were camping outdoors before, Qi Feng was the first to notice anyone approaching them.
