VOLUME 5 CHAPTER 1: DON’T TELL ME THIS IS RIDING AS 3 FOR THOUSANDS OF MILES (1)

Yun Chang POV

Haa… I gave a long exhalation. It was a lot colder than before, I thought as I saw the freezing condensation before me.

The cool autumn days were past, and the refres.h.i.+ng breezes became chilling to the bone. I looked around and saw that tall mountains had replaced the vast plains from before.

“Hey, you girls in the carriage, is it cold inside?” I turned back and hollered to the carriage while I was riding a horse.

“No, it’s comfortably warm.” Gan Qing’s voice came from the carriage. Her voice was soft, perhaps because the other 2 were asleep.

I must say, the green silk robe that Lord Cao Cao gave me was really useful in keeping warm. And it was because of that, that I gave it to Gan Qing, Mi Zhen and Hua Tuo so that they could keep warm in the carriage.

“Umm, is sister Guan not cold? You gave us your robe after all.”

“Un, I’m alright.” I said between s.h.i.+vers, “I’ve always dealt with the cold like this anyway.”

I haven’t had any easy days in my life and I’m used to it already. Though my body may be cold, this thin green robes are enough to keep my heart warm.

Xuan De.

Lord Cao Cao said that he was in Runan…

Un… I feel like we’re not on the right route. General Xiahou Dun said that we should see a city very quickly. But I don’t even think we will see a village in this sort of landscape.

“Wen Yuan, do you still have the map from Lord Xiahou Dun?”

“Ah, I’m looking at it now.” I turned my head and saw that Wen Yuan was already looking at the map. She frowned, and seemed unused to reading a map, “The route from here to Runan is… We seem to have gone off track.”

Eh?

“Let me see.” I received the map and took a close look as I said so.

Indeed, the landmarks as displayed on the map in the area where we were supposed to be by now did not indicate that many mountain peaks and gorges. Perhaps we have indeed gone off track.

“Looks like I shouldn’t have let my lord lead us…”

“Un? What’s wrong with having Lord Lu Bu lead us?” I hurriedly asked as I saw Wen Yuan’s face that looked like she had made a big mistake, and then looked at Lu Bu who was driving the carriage.

“To be honest, my lord has always been directionally challenged.”

“What?!” How could Wen Yuan only just reveal something so critical at this time?! “Wen Yuan, if you know that Lord Lu Bu is directionally challenged, then why did you let her lead? Even if you feel bad about it, yoy should at least help guide her right?”

“I didn’t think it would be like that. My lord (Lu Bu) has helped our lord (Liu Bei) point out the right direction many times before and she has always been correct all those times. And there was only 1 road for this journey so I didn’t think we would go off track.” Wen Yuan shook her head and slapped her face in helplessness, “Looks like my lord will get lost if it’s just her alone who’s leading huh…”

“…”

Hai~ Saying anything now is too late anyway.

“Lord Lu Bu!” I called out to Lu Bu who was leading us and saw from be phind that Lu Bu had both arms on her reins and seemed to be seriously handling the horses.
