Chapter 997: March

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


The bearings of the military carriage were made of fine iron. The material was strong and had a good shock absorption effect. The two horses and four wheels also greatly increased the buffer of the carriage. It could balance a certain level of stability and safety at high speeds.


The wood of the teak carriage was fine and hard. Even if it was exposed to the elements, the cold of winter, or the heat of summer, the wood would not be crooked or cracked. It had very strong shock absorption and shock resistance, greatly increasing the comfort of the carriage.


The hard places on the walls of the carriage were covered in sheepskin.


There were two layers of fur on the sheep’s skin. The outer layer was rough and could resist the sun and rain, but the fur on the inner layer was soft, elastic, firm, and durable. It could reduce shock to a certain extent and avoid b.u.mps and injuries.


Fixed seats were installed in the carriage, firmly securing people to the seats to reduce the impact and b.u.mpiness of the carriage.


There was also a small fixed couch with a fence for resting.


The carriage attended to every aspect.


However, Yu Youyao was still dizzy from the b.u.mpy ride.


Chun Xiao did not feel that the carriage was b.u.mpy. Seeing that Young Miss was really feeling too uncomfortable, she quickly helped her up from the small couch and let her lean against her. She also took out a water bag and fed her some water.


Xia Tao’s heart ached for Young Miss. She lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out. “We’ve been traveling for more than four hours. Why didn’t the carriage stop to rest? It’s lunchtime soon. You can’t let us settle it in the carriage ourselves. When has Young Miss ever suffered like this?”


After adding spiritual dewdrop to the water and drinking some water, Yu Youyao perked up a little. “His Highness has his own arrangements for how to travel and when to rest on the way. We just have to follow his orders. There’s a saying that military orders are absolute.” At this point, her tone became a little more serious. “We’ll reach Jinzhou in five days at most. Bear with it and don’t cause trouble.”


She deliberately emphasized the last three words, revealing a hint of warning.


The most taboo thing on the march was to make mistakes in the military. Some insignificant matters could often have terrifying consequences. They did not know anything about war and just had to be obedient.


She had brought Xia Tao along because she was smart and knew how to do things. When they were in the army, Xia Tao could help her adapt to life in the army as soon as possible. This was a strength, but also a weakness.


Obedience in the army was the first rule.


Even Young Miss herself did not complain. As a maidservant, her heart ached, but she had no right to complain. Xia Tao immediately lowered her head. “Young Miss, I understand.”


Yu You softened her voice. “Ordinary people only eat two meals a day. Usually, they eat around nine to ten in the morning and around four to five in the afternoon. The army is also making arrangements like this, so the army won’t stop to give us time for lunch. The carriage has prepared some cooked food. In a while, the marching speed will slow down. Let’s eat some to fill our stomachs first.


Eating three meals a day was a treatment that only n.o.ble families received.


Even soldiers who were marching to war only had two meals a day.


Xia Tao suddenly heaved a sigh of relief and quickly changed the topic. “Young Miss, how did you know that the speed of the army would slow down after a while?”


Yu Youyao said, “The army has been moving for two and a half hours. During this period of time, the speed of the army is not fixed. The army has maintained a high speed for an hour. In the next hour, the army has been slowing down. When their speed decreases to a certain extent, the army will definitely slow down.”


Xia Tao was confused. Why didn’t she feel anything? Had their marching speed slowed down?


Chun Xiao did not understand either and could not help but ask, “Why is that?” Yu Youyao did not know much, but she had some guesses in her heart. “I think that it is in order to maintain the speed of the army and not delay the journey, and also to preserve the stamina of the soldiers on the way to deal with some unexpected situations. After all, the battlefield changes rapidly. No one can guarantee that the army will have a smooth journey and preserve the combat strength of the soldiers at all times. This is very important.”


Anyone would not be able to take it if they traveled for a long time. The fast and slow marching pattern also took into account physical recovery on the way.


Xia Tao was enlightened and immediately felt that the carriage had really slowed down. “How long will this slow march last?”


“I’m guessing about an hour.” Yu Youyao was a little uncertain. During the slow march, the soldiers could drink water and eat some dry food to help recover their strength. They were allowed to leave the team and resolve some private matters.


At this moment, Yin Huaixi’s voice sounded from outside the door. “Next, the army will maintain a slow march for an hour. You can use this time to eat some food and resolve some private matters, or go outside the carriage to take a breather. The army will only set up camp before dark.”


Xia Tao’s eyes widened. Young Miss was simply a G.o.d.


At this moment, Yu Youyao lifted the window and drew the curtain.


Their eyes met.


Yin Huaixi was sitting on a big black horse. The horse’s head was thin and its neck was long. Its limbs were long, and there was a wisp of auburn mane on its forehead, like the flames of a race.


It was a handsome cold-blooded horse.


The man riding it was even more heroic and handsome.


Yu Youyao, who was sitting in the carriage, had long hair gathered in a headscarf. Silver-gray fine mink fur wrapped around her neck, making her face look even more exquisite and small. She looked transparent and pale, making her look very fragile.


Yin Huaixi almost regretted agreeing to bring her to Jinzhou. “The road ahead is relatively flat, and the carriage is b.u.mpy and stuffy. Do you want to come down and ride?”


Yu Youyao’s eyes lit up. “Can I?”


Yin Huaixi nodded. “Of course, while we’re marching slowly.”


Yu Youyao quickly leaned forward and opened the door. She lifted the curtain and bent down to get out of the carriage. She heard Yin Huaixi blow the whistle. Soon, she saw a snow-white and handsome horse rus.h.i.+ng over.


“It’s Snow Mountain.” Yu Youyao was excited. “Why did you bring Snow Mountain too?”


Yin Huaixi had given her Snow Mountain when she was in Liancheng. It was a snow mountain horse with a very n.o.ble bloodline. Yin Huaixi had asked her to name it. She felt that the snow mountain horse was completely snow-white, handsome, and beautiful, so she directly named it Snow Mountain. However, Yu Youyao usually stayed in the residence and did not ride horses often.


“I guessed that you might have a chance to ride it on the way, so I brought it along.” Seeing Snow Mountain run to the carriage, Yin Huaixi dismounted and helped Yu Youyao out of the carriage.


Yu Youyao stepped on the horse pedal with one foot and tightened her grip on the saddle. She exerted strength with her feet and jumped onto the horse cleanly and quickly. She was not as careful as when she had just learned to ride a horse.


In order to make it easier to travel, she was wearing a narrow-sleeved robe and a pair of sheepskin boots. She was wearing a gray rat fur cloak that reached her waist to block the wind, making her look rather heroic.


Although Yu Youyao was raised in her own room, her knowledge and horizons were not something ordinary women could compare to. Her every move was solemn and polite, and her bearing was natural, but there was also a sense of magnanimity..
