If you traveled back to ancient times, while others ate Guanyin clay, you would actually have giant

Dazi Kingdom.

Su Yuan, a former heroic general of the Gaoli Kingdom, has now fled to the Dazi Kingdom after his country was destroyed and his family perished. He originally thought that with his strength and the troops under his command, he could have a place in Dazi.

However, the Dazi Kingdom seems to be very xenophobic. Having roamed the grasslands for many years, they look down on the Gaoli people. In the eyes of the Dazi, the Gaoli people are not even as good as the Dalong people, yet they dare to roam freely on their own grasslands.

Su Yuan had been in exile in the Dazi Kingdom for several months, and nearly half of the troops he had brought with him had been lost.

Left with no other option, Su Yuan could only lead the remaining troops and flee eastward.

Su Yuan's goal was the eastern coast, where he would seize ships and then cross the sea to Japan, hoping to gain a foothold there. The grasslands were simply too barbaric.

However, Su Yuan did not let Da Zi have it easy either. Along the way, he would detour around powerful tribes and kill and plunder the weak ones, thus accumulating a considerable amount of wealth.

"Look, the sea."

Ten days later, Su Yuan's headquarters saw the sea, and the exhausted soldiers had a glimmer of light in their eyes.

"Great."

Su Yuan clenched his fists. The journey had been incredibly difficult, but he would eventually reclaim what he had lost.

"Chief, there's a very serious problem."

Dong Hu, one of his trusted subordinates, looked troubled and quietly called Su Yuan aside.

"what happened?"

"My lord, we have no boat. The Kingdom of Dazi has no boat either."

Su Yuan then realized that he didn't have a boat. The Dazi Kingdom was a nomadic people with plenty of livestock, but as for boats, there probably wasn't a single decent one in the entire country.

"Then what to do."

Su Yuan was also anxious. He had finally made it this far, only to be told that because there was no boat, all his efforts might have been in vain. If this news got out, it would probably cause the soldiers to mutini.

"My lord, the Bohai Kingdom is not far from here. Where can we find ships? Why don't I take some brothers and go to Bohai to buy ships?"

"Okay, be sure to be careful."

As expected of his most trusted confidant, Dong Hu had indeed considered everything thoroughly. Su Yuan felt reassured and let Dong Hu take the men and money to Bohai Kingdom, so that the remaining troops could have a proper rest.

Fortunately, food is not scarce now. The tribes they raided along the way seized countless cattle, sheep and horses, and now they eat meat at every meal, which is what everyone looks forward to most every day.

"Great campsite, let's set up camp and cook a meal."

Being chased was not an easy life. Sometimes, they wouldn't have a hot meal for days. The winter wind on the grassland was biting cold. If they hadn't plundered enough furs, they probably wouldn't have survived until now.

"Xi'er, have some hot soup."

Su Yuan carried a bowl of hot soup to Jin Xi'er's carriage, stood outside, and called out softly.

"General, you've worked hard."

With those words from the beauty, Su Yuan felt that everything was worthwhile.

"It's not hard work. Donghu has gone in to find a boat, and then we can go to Fusang."

Su Yuan described a bright future to Jin Xi'er, but she felt unusually calm. These days on the run made her feel that it was no different from when she was imprisoned in the Gaoli Palace, because she had not gained freedom and her range of movement had only changed from the palace to a carriage.

However, Su Yuan was unaware of Jin Xi'er's thoughts at the moment, so he continued to fawn over her.

After waiting for more than ten days, the soldiers still hadn't set sail, and their tempers began to flare. Several incidents of soldiers rioting had already occurred. Su Yuan could still suppress them with his former prestige, but if Dong Hu didn't bring back a ship, things might get complicated.

The next day, just as dawn was breaking, the Gaoli soldiers began to slowly get up and prepare, but soon the soldiers who came out of their tents noticed something was wrong. Not far away, Dazi cavalry were watching their side.

"Shh~~~~Shh~~~"

The sound of the bamboo whistle instantly resounded throughout the entire coastline.

The soldiers were instantly thrown into chaos, donning their gear and collecting their weapons to defend themselves against the enemy.

Su Yuan also rushed out of the main tent immediately. Seeing that the number of Dazi cavalry was increasing, he couldn't help but be startled.

"It seems these people intend to keep us here."

Su Yuan let out a long breath; it seemed this time it was going to be a fight to the death.

Jin Xier had already been persuaded by Su Yuan to get into the carriage so that she could escape at any time.

The two armies were locked in a stalemate for a long time, but ultimately a battle was inevitable.

"Uluru~~~~~~"

Dazi shouted incomprehensible slogans, urging his warhorse to charge towards Gao Li.

In an instant, Gao Li's defensive formation was disrupted.

The two armies clashed, their shouts and battle cries filling the air.

In the era of cold weapons, cavalry had an absolute advantage. Even with the bonus from the hero Su Yuan, Gao Li soldiers could not withstand the sweeping force of cavalry.

The Gao Li soldiers were forced into a retreat, but with the coastline behind them, there was nowhere to go.

"Sir, there is a boat."

The soldiers noticed that several large ships had appeared in the distance and were heading towards them.

"Never mind, let's pull it that way first."

Dazi has no more boats, so Su Yuan has no choice but to take a gamble.

"My lord, it is Lord Donghu."

As the ship slowly approached, it turned out to be heading to the Bohai Kingdom to find its ship owner, Hu.

"Sir, come up quickly."

Upon seeing that the people on the ship were their own, Gao Li's soldiers instantly lost control, all desperately climbing onto the ship, tearing at each other, with the phenomenon of climbing onto their compatriots' bodies being commonplace.

"The lord must leave."

"The Dazi soldiers are almost upon us," Donghu said anxiously.

Su Yuan looked at the various high-level soldiers still on the shore, but whether they had boarded the ship or not, he knew that these people were definitely not going to survive.

Just as Su Yuan was about to order a retreat, he suddenly realized that Jin Xier was not on the ship.

Where are they? Where are they?

"Sir, who are you looking for?"

"Where is Xi'er? Where is she? Where is she?"

Su Yuan's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like a madman as he searched the boat for Jin Xi'er. A sense of unease crept into his heart.

"Sir, on the beach."

The worst-case scenario has occurred: Jin Xier did not board the ship as expected; the chaotic scene just now left no time to pay attention to anything else.

Jin Xier and her servant are trembling in the carriage. If they fall into the hands of the Dazi, the consequences are unimaginable.

Jin Xier could only look towards the ship in the distance, still clinging to a sliver of hope that the general would come to rescue her, even though she knew it was somewhat unrealistic.

"Sir, let's go. Going down there is certain death."

Everyone knew that Jin Xier was Su Yuan's weakness, but Dong Hu still mustered up his courage to advise him that if things continued like this, they would definitely die.
