Chapter 193 Revisiting 2
Lady Yan's men were very efficient; in less than half an incense stick's time, they appeared before Wei Chaoyan and his men, fully equipped and with their horses.
Looking at the dozen or so fierce and ruthless men in front of her, their sharpness concealed yet unyielding, and their weapons armed to the teeth, Wei Chaoyan's eyes lit up for a moment. Then, recalling her previous defeat and forced retreat in a sorry state just as she reached the entrance, she frowned and turned her questioning gaze to Yan Niangzi beside her.
"...?"
Wei Chaoyan: "Aunt Yan, do we have enough manpower?"
A proud smile curved Yan Niangzi's lips: "Don't worry, they are all top-notch fighters, selected from the best of the best! Each of them has fought their way through countless battles, possessing first-rate combat skills and excellent teamwork. This time, the situation from last time will not repeat itself!"
Seeing the lingering doubt between Wei Chaoyan's brows, Lady Yan raised her chin slightly, reassuring her further, "There are dozens of skilled fighters waiting over there! There are definitely more than just these few!"
Lady Yan's "I had it all planned out" attitude greatly eased Wei Chaoyan's inexplicably tense emotions. Her brows relaxed, and she unceremoniously took Lady Yan's smooth and plump wrist, biting her lip and saying, "It's getting late, shall we set off?"
Although it was a question, Wei Chaoyan's tone was absolutely certain.
Lady Yan did not refute, but gave Yan Qing, who was standing silently to the side with her hands at her sides, a "let's go" look. Then, with Wei Chaoyan holding her arm, she led Wei Chaoyan quickly to her spirited mount—a magnificent pure red horse.
He gently stroked the red horse's docile, lowered head, which was full of human-like intelligence and spirit. Then he took two steps forward, brushed aside Wei Chaoyan's arm, and with a side somersault, he skillfully and gracefully mounted the horse's sleek and powerful back.
Lady Yan lowered her body slightly and extended her jade-like hand towards Wei Chaoyan, who was standing on the ground. Without saying a word, she glanced at her and blinked her beautiful eyes. Wei Chaoyan immediately understood and placed her hand in Lady Yan's open palm.
Then, following the force of Yan Niangzi's suddenly clenched hand, he soared into the air, his body slightly twisting and adjusting its angle while suspended in mid-air, and in the next instant, he landed directly behind Yan Niangzi!
As soon as Wei Chaoyan landed, Lady Yan withdrew her gentle hand and placed it on the reins. Wei Chaoyan then placed her empty hand on Lady Yan's waist, shifted her position, and adjusted her posture.
Lady Yan sensed that Wei Chaoyan behind her had quieted down, knowing that she was seated properly. At the same time, she glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw that her subordinates, including Yan Qing, were already mounted and ready. Without further hesitation, she whipped the reins and galloped along the route she remembered, speeding towards her destination.

"Clop clop clop," a dozen horses galloped along the lush green path, splashing grass juice that mingled with the warm golden sunlight.
Above the clear sky, as translucent as a large, almost-melted rock candy, the radiant spring sun had already risen high in the sky, and it was clearly noon.
Wei Chaoyan and her entourage hurried along, finally arriving at a flat area at the foot of the desolate mountain just before noon. There, the other subordinates that Lady Yan had arranged in advance were already fully equipped and waiting for their arrival, setting up camp and making all the preparations in an orderly manner.
No sooner had Wei Chaoyan and his entourage stopped and dismounted than the team leader who came to greet them kindly invited them into the camp to freshen up, have lunch, and rest.
It turned out that the leader of the team had accurately predicted the arrival time of Wei Chaoyan and her group in advance, and had arranged for the people in the camp to prepare everything that Wei Chaoyan and her group might need, and had precisely controlled all the time.
For example, just as Wei Chaoyan and her group arrived at the camp, the hot water and food inside were also prepared at the same time, with a time difference of less than a breath! It must be admitted that Lady Yan, no, the court's subordinates are full of talented people, hidden masters among them!
With her mind completely focused on the resentment-repelling herb, Wei Chaoyan didn't notice the subtle details. She simply followed Yan Niangzi's actions and completed the series of procedures: washing up, eating, taking a half-hour nap, and leading everyone back to the old path.
Walking along the increasingly lush and secluded mountain paths, Wei Chaoyan felt a strange emotion, like grass seeds buried deep underground after a spring rain, eager to break through the soil and sprout. Moreover, the deeper she went, the more turbulent and vigorous the emotion became.
Until they reached the same spot where they had previously stopped and returned empty-handed, a group of fierce men who followed closely behind quickly and decisively eliminated the "roadblock" that had appeared again, as easily as chopping melons and vegetables, and then reached the peak!
