Eternal Painter Swordsman
47. The Road to Mount Kunlun

Huang Xinxin hung a container of arrows on his back with a hand that held a bow suspended on his shoulder. His brush is useful but it would be better if there is a long-range weapon.

"Dad will trust you with this, follow the map you have given then you will reach Mount Kunlun within 20 hours at most. " Say Huang Lixin.

"I understand, I will definitely not delay any more. " Reply Huang Xinxin.

Huang Xinxin looked at the Huang Royal House one last time before finally strengthening his resolve and spurring his horse to run and save the lives of the thousands that the Emperor wanted to sacrifice just to calm his soul.

The Yuwen Kingdom was not a Kingdom that required 10 thousand troops but the Emperor still gave it 10 thousand troops along with Zhou Yan.

At this moment, even ordinary people knew that the Emperor was targeting Ming Yue. The Ming Family had sacrificed their Bodies and Souls to protect the Emperor and the Great Jiu Empire but in the end it still meant nothing to the Emperor's eyes.

Huang Xinxin quickly walked out of the City and while walking for 3 hours, she felt strange because there was not the slightest obstacle.

There was not even anyone trying to disturb him, this was a strange thing. Every time he bought something, everything was in a cheap price.

This made him strange then thinking of the one person who was likely the cause of all this, Huang Xinxin smiled and grew even more eager to travel Mount Kunlun.

Based on the map given, then he had to go through three villages and one more meadow before finally meeting the foot of Mount Kunlun.

The journey so far was smooth and there were almost no obstacles at all, it is too beautiful to be a fact if Huang Xinxin is not positive minded then she will definitely look for a detour and feel that she has been framed by people.

He was convinced that this was the act of his father telling the merchant around to help take care of him.

This made Huang Xinxin feel overwhelmed by this. Huang Xinxin pulled over for a moment to rest and allowed his horse to drink and eat grass.

Then he walked to one of the merchants and bought fruits for the trip, when there was not enough drink then the fruits would definitely be able to help.

"Auntie, I want a 1 kilogram apple. " Said Huang Xinxin.

"The price is only 15 Gold Taels. " Reply to the merchant.

Huang Xinxin took out 50 Gold Taels and paid for them, indeed the price was like that if it was in rare conditions like winter.

"Auntie, consider it a gift from me. Come back early to be with your family. " Say Huang Xinxin softly.

"Thank you very much Miss !" The merchant cried happily.

Huang Xinxin walked towards the wine shop, although this was a small village but it was crowded and full of trade.

Here, the trade was done very lively, just right his father would rather build a shop outside the capital.

Huang Xinxin walked towards the tavern and directly walked towards the cashier.

"Master, I want to fill this full of wine. " Said Huang Xinxin.

He usually does not drink much wine, only with this wine it will awaken him from fatigue.

Not to mention, this wine will definitely help him especially his own horse is very fond of wine. Huang Xinxin gave the leather pouch that could be filled with a few liters of wine.

Huang Xinxin took her already fully filled leather pouch and gave her 5 gold pieces and left from there.

He saw that his horse had finished eating so he gave the leather pouch to drink by his horse.

He has two leather pockets, one smaller is for him while the big one is for his horse.

"Hold on, we'll soon reach the prairie. Where you can eat grass. " Huang Xinxin said and stroked the horse's head.

Somehow, the horse was so obedient to him, he had seen hundreds of horses of different types but this one was truly docile and gentle.

The horse raised both of its front legs and neighed indicating that he was ready. Huang Xinxin smiled and kindly went to the horse's back to continue his journey.

Huang Xinxin did not eat much, she ate some meat buns that were already cold and hard in her bag.

She should have stopped and looked for new bread but she didn't want to put off time just for the not-so-important thing, she wasn't a spoiled princess who had to eat new food.

He was already used to eating cold food because when he painted then he would forget the time, he could even eat a day only once when he was busy painting.

Huang Xinxin also ate an apple and it just so happened that the apple was very fresh and full of water, this prevented him from becoming dehydrated.

After walking some distance, he also gave the apple to his horse to eat and it was very helpful to his horse.

They passed three other villages with a time that could be quite long, they needed 8 hours after circling the steep and terrible cliffs, the road slippery and steep before they finally arrived at the grassland.

During the trip, Huang Xinxin had bought other fruits to keep watch. Arriving at the meadow, Huang Xinxin decided to give the horse time to rest first.

"Rest first, our journey is long. If you look at the map then this meadow is very wide and the road to Mount Kunlun is difficult to pass. " Said Huang Xinxin.

He had already been on the trip for 11 hours, even his clothes had turned dull due to this. His body was already aching on some sides from exhaustion but he knew that the person at the border would not be able to delay any longer.

He sat under a tree and intended to rest for a moment, at least an hour. When he left earlier, the sun had not even come out yet and now the sun was about to set.

It should have been late afternoon. Not knowing exactly what time it was at this moment, not long as he sat down, there was a pigeon approaching him.

At his feet bound the letter and Huang Xinxin was able to recognize the mail delivery with just one glance, it was Huang Lixin.

Huang Xinxin opened the seal and gave the pigeon a small amount of fruits and then stroked it.

"You've worked hard, go home. " Say Huang Xinxin and release the pigeon.

The pigeon flew away and Huang Xinxin read the contents of the letter Huang Lixin had sent him, her eyes instantly widened when reading the letter Huang Lixin had sent.
