Chapter 402: Battle

Fan Zijin immediately said, “You go first. I’ll follow the people from the 4th and 5th Division to Golden Water Town.”
Mu Yangling and Rong Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. With Fan Zijin holding the fort, they were not afraid of the spies hiding behind the scenes.
Only then did Rong Xuan realize that they didn’t have enough people, and there were too few trusted people they could delegate.
“Miss Mu, who do you want to bring into the mountains?” Rong Xuan asked.
“Haoran’s men.” Mu Yangling said, “As they’ve all been trained in the forest, it’s much more flexible to bring them along.”
“No problem. I’ll transfer them over now. Rest for a while and set off when they arrive.” Rong Xuan greeted Li Jinghua before turning around and striding out.
Fan Zijin abandoned Mu Yangling and went out to mobilize guards to surround this place. From the servant girl who boiled water to the maidservant who carried the basin, they were all people he trusted. Since the spy had not been found, he could not be careless at this time. After all, the other party spent so much effort trying to kill his eldest cousin.
Only Li Jinghua, Wen Cui, and Mu Yangling were left outside.
Li Jinghua’s emotions fluctuated. She knew that Qi Xiuyuan valued Mu Yangling, but she didn’t know that he actually gave her the right to lead the army. Looking at Rong Xuan and Fan Zijin’s reactions, they were already used to it and even needed to rely on her.
Recalling that she was the one who carried Qi Xiuyuan back, Li Jinghua took a deep breath and became even more polite and enthusiastic to Mu Yangling. She turned to Wen Cui and said, “Go and get the kitchen to prepare some food to be served later.”
Li Jinghua turned to Mu Yangling and smiled. “Sister Mu, do you want to freshen up and eat something?”
Only then did Mu Yangling sense that her body was covered in blood and mud. Realizing she was indeed very dirty, she smiled in embarrassment and nodded. “Thank you, Sister-in-law.”
Even though Li Jinghua was very curious, she knew that this was not the time to ask. Rong Xuan had said just now that Mu Yangling still had to save Qi Haoran later, so she naturally had to rest well.
She was a little embarrassed when she saw the Mu Yangling’s dark circles, but Mu Yangling, Rong Xuan, and the others were already used to it. Once they started fighting, it was normal for them not to sleep for four to five days, let alone two days.
