After evacuating the Hou Mansion, I fled famine with my pregnant belly

Chapter 697 Arrival
“Add my Lu family!”

Patriarch Lu knew that the five major families were now equally powerful. Once one of the families got hold of some secrets that the other families were unaware of, it would be in a passive position.

Three parties had already agreed, and the remaining Zhu and Zhou families were unwilling to lag behind, so they also agreed to the proposal.

"In that case, please go and select your men. As for the number of men, each family should send three men. As for their strength, you can decide for yourselves."

Half an hour later, each family brought people over, and it also attracted quite a few people to come and watch, and they were all young men.

They didn't stop us.

After making preparations, five elders whose strength was at the Earth level jumped into the void at the same time, and the positions where they landed formed a pentagon.

"Everyone, let's get started." One of the old men said.

The other four looked at each other and nodded.

"Do it."

At the same time as exiting, the mysterious force is transmitted towards the center.

Five mysterious forces burst out at the same time, forming a black dot in the center. As time passed, the black dot grew larger and larger, eventually forming a vortex that began to disperse the black fog to both sides.

A crack was vaguely visible in the center, and the crack was getting bigger and bigger until it was half the length of a person. On the deck, Cao Xingyao grabbed a young man standing next to him and threw him towards the crack.

"Hurry, take this opportunity."

The young man also reacted quickly, increasing his speed to the extreme. Like a fish leaping over the dragon gate, he rushed into the crack and disappeared.

Then, one by one…after all fifteen people passed through the black barrier, the five old men who were casting the formation seemed to have their mysterious energy drained away and fell from mid-air.

It happened to be caught by someone who had been paying attention to them.

"Master, I have fulfilled my mission." One of the old men, supported by others, said weakly to Cao Xingyao.

"Thank you for your hard work, elder. This is a magical medicine that can stabilize your strength. You should take this time to recover. When we are all through this, we will still need your help." Cao Xingyao handed the bottle of medicine that he had prepared long ago to his old elder.

"it is good!"

Seeing this, the other four families, in order to avoid disappointing others, reluctantly took out healing medicine for their elders.

……

After three months, the army led by Jiang Huai finally arrived at the border. After Xia Ziyu learned that Jiang Huai would lead troops to guard the defense line, he had already found a camp to accommodate the army.

When the defenders on the border learned of Jiang Huai's arrival, they sent a special team to greet him.

"General Ge Rui has been ordered to come and greet the commander."

Jiang Huai nodded slightly:

"Thank you for your hard work, soldiers. What is the situation now? Are there any invaders?"

Ge Rui looked solemn and whispered, "A few days ago, Lord Jiuyou sent someone to report that the black fog that blocked the sea area had dissipated a lot.

I was worried that the Western Continent would send people over, so I sent people to guard the place day and night, but I didn't find anything unusual."

"Keep watching! If you see anything unusual, report it immediately."

After rushing as hard as he could, he finally arrived at Xuanhe Prefecture on New Year's Eve. He hadn't seen his wife and children for nearly three months. Jiang Huai wanted to hand over the army as soon as possible and reunite with his family.

He doesn't want to miss the New Year's Eve dinner.

Gu Yansheng, You Lei, and several confidants who were left behind by Jiang Huai looked at each other in bewilderment. They deserved to be exploited.

But they are just crickets in their hearts, and they can still distinguish what is important and what is not.
