Chapter 1139

Lishan.

Several miles to the south.

A massive cavalry force was rushing rapidly in this direction.

The rumbling sound of iron hooves could be heard from far away.

Even from several miles away, it could likely be heard clearly.

This force was the border defense army led by Ying Ying Zi Ye and Meng Tian and others.

After more than a month, they were finally about to return to Xianyang City.

Without the infantry dragging them down, their speed was nearly doubled.

It had taken nearly two months to go to Nanyue.

Now, returning, it had only taken a little over a month.

It can be seen that the speed of the cavalry was not slow.

This was not even at full speed; otherwise, this speed could have been increased significantly.

Added to the time spent in Nanyue.

This round trip took more than four months.

After passing Lishan, they would arrive at Xianyang City.

Now they were very close to Xianyang City.

A sense of intimacy rose in everyone's hearts.

After all, the time away this time was truly not short.

Now returning again, it felt like a lifetime ago.

Nanyue had many desolate mountains and wild ridges, far inferior to Xianyang.

Looking at Lishan, which was close at hand.

Looking from afar, many figures stood at the foot of the mountain.

At a glance, it was clear that a large number of soldiers were stationed here.

"Has something happened at Lishan?"

"Why are there so many soldiers here?"

Ying Ying Zi Ye was a bit puzzled and waved his hand to signal the army to stop.

"Bypassing Lishan is not far from Xianyang City."

"We will be back very soon."

"Let everyone rest for a while."

"We have been marching for several hours in a row."

"Send someone to the front to see what happened."

Meng Tian and the others felt it made sense upon hearing this.

They were almost there, so there was no need to rush like this.

As for why so many soldiers appeared stationed in front.

Just send someone to inquire.

If there was nothing else, they would pass directly through the side of Lishan.

And head straight to Xianyang City.

A general saw this and took out a banner, raising it high and waving it.

The army running behind saw the signal from the banner.

The speed of their running gradually slowed down.

The army finally stopped slowly.

Dust flew, and the world became quiet.

Soon—

Meng Tian casually sent out a cavalryman.

He rushed towards the direction of Lishan.

"Nothing will happen, right?"

"Since when has this Lishan had so many soldiers stationed?"

"Who knows? We haven't been back for so long."

"Now that we are at home, what could happen?"

"This place is very close to the Lantian Camp, so it must be fine."

"Let's rest for a while, and we'll know what happened in a moment."

The generals began to discuss.

Nothing had happened along the way.

Now they were about to arrive at Xianyang City.

It would be better if nothing happened at this Lishan.

This exhaustion from the journey was not easy to bear.

Originally, they had planned to return to Xianyang City first.

After reporting to His Majesty, they would inquire about some matters regarding the northern border.

Then they would rush to the northern border depending on the situation.

Or follow His Majesty's orders.
