Vol 5 Chapter 1 (2/2)
“Lord Lu…”
“…” Feng Xian had closed her eyes and lowered her head while having a pensive look on, “… Hu…. Hu.”
She’s asleep?!
“Lord Lu Bu, Lord Lu Bu, wake up.”
“… Un un? Have we reached already?”
“No way it’s that fast.” I withdrew my arms that I had used to shake Lu Bu’s shoulders, “Lord Lu Bu, we’re off track.”
To prevent the 3 girls inside the carriage from panicking, I said so in a soft voice and told Lu Bu the truth before pointing out the route which we were supposed to follow as well as our approximate position on the map.
“Ah…” Lu Bu stretched her arms as she looked at the map, “I’ve gone off track again huh.”
The way she said that makes it seem like it always happens. Shouldn’t you be more aware of it in that case?
“I’m sorry, I fell asleep unwittingly.” Lu Bu said between yawns, “I seem to get lost whenever I fall asleep.”
The only one who will still move forward while asleep is just you, Lu Bu. And I can’t believe she actually fell asleep with such chilly winds.
“But what do we do now? We’ve been travelling for 6 hours now, and it’s getting dark so I’m afraid we can’t return to our original route.”
I was hoping to make it to big brother before they finally engaged in an all-out battle but now that we are going to be significantly delayed after going the wrong way, big brother might meet with some mishap on the frontlines…
“It’s very troubling that we have gone the wrong way…” Wen Yuan, who had just caught up to us, said in a soft voice, “But there’s another route and this route has several Pa.s.ses along the way.”
Pa.s.ses huh? I looked on the map and saw that there was a road that weaved through the mountains and there were indeed 5-6 Pa.s.ses along the way.
“From how it looks on the map, this route doesn’t seem much longer than the original one,” Wen Yuan continued her explanation, “But I’m afraid that replenishment of our supplies will depend on the generosity of the generals of each Pa.s.s.”
“Supplies huh~ But the supplies sent to each Pa.s.s is a fixed amount. I doubt there will be that much extra resources to give to us.” Feng Xian said as she stroked Red Hare who was in front of her chest, her eyes which looked ahead were terrifying but listless.
“Un… Our supplies should be good for about a week or so. It’s still alright for us since we can just eat less but…” I looked back. “No matter what, we can’t let them suffer along right?”
They aren’t warriors after all so there are some hards.h.i.+ps they should not be made to endure,
“That’s right, we’ll just have to eat less.”
“Un, I’ll give my share to Red Hare.”
She doesn’t forget about it even at this time huh. But I haven’t fed Red Hare in a while so I’ll give part of my share to Red Hare as well.
“Daa!~” All of a sudden, a savage, who wore very little and had dark skin, jumped out in front.
Who is this?
