1707 Journeying Together with the Violet Imperial Battalion (2/2)

What did they think the Qinling Mountains were!? Going there without choosing the right time and season was suicide! Even if they had informed him first, he still might not agree to help!

The Violet Imperial Battalion might be a special existence, but Zhang Xiaohou had no plans to submit to them!

An advising officer behind the enormous Lesser Dragon stepped forward. He actually saluted Zhang Xiaohou before he spoke, ”There's only one major general at the Qinling Mountains. I believe you must be General Zhang Xiaohou, who was promoted recently?”

Zhang Xiaohou saluted in return without saying a word.

”Sir, we've heard of the strange wind in the Qinling Mountains. Those who are unfamiliar with the terrain of the Qinling Mountains might die a horrible death to the wind. Our mission is very urgent, so it's our fault for not informing you earlier. I do hope that you can provide us with assistance. The Violet Imperial Battalion will be in your debt!” The short advising officer had greatly lowered his stance.

”That's more like it! Things would be a lot simpler if you behaved like that at first,” Zhao Manyan snapped back.

”What do you mean by that? And who do you think you are!?” Li Dexin glared at Zhao Manyan.

”I've already promised my friends that I would bring them to the Qinling Mountains. If you want to go, you can ask General Gao's men to assist you.” Zhang Xiaohou did not go overboard. He had no intention of complicating matters further.

”Well, if General Zhang is going to the Qinling Mountains, why don't you come with us? From what I know, if anyone could be said to be familiar with the mountains, it has to be you! Our mission is to save members of the Great Commander's family. Lives are at stake here, so I do hope General Zhang will assist us!” the advising officer asked sincerely.

Zhang Xiaohou did not agree right away. He looked at Mo Fan.

”Where are you heading to? Which part of the mountains?” Mo Fan asked the advising officer.

”Around here.” The advising officer was well-prepared, and immediately took out a detailed map.

”Houzi, are they going the same way as us?” Mo Fan asked him.

”More or less,” Zhang Xiaohou replied.

”Let's go together, then. It doesn't matter if they are coming with us. They might come in handy,” Mo Fan said.

Mo Fan did not mind the Violet Imperial Battalion tagging along. These Violet Imperial Battlemages were pretty strong, especially the guy on the Lesser Dragon.

It was clearly going to be a dangerous trip. It would be safer to have more people with them!

”Brother Fan, we can just ignore them,” Zhang Xiaohou told him, clearly not enthusiastic about the idea.

”It's fine, it's more fun when there are more people around,” Mo Fan assured him.

”Yeah, did you see the female officer standing at the back there? Oh my, she's hot!” Zhao Manyan said.

Zhao Manyan's eyes were capable of locating the women in a crowd in the shortest time possible. They would swiftly filter out the ordinary-looking ones and lock onto the beauties!
