Most importantly, they were heading towards the Feather Mulberry Land, and they had no channels to get food, horses and wagons. If they chose to travel on land, would Gu Chaoyan, who seemed quite feeble, be able to make it through the bumps? All of these should be taken into consideration. What if they ended up finding the land worse than the water? By that time, they might not even have any boats available. That would be a huge loss.

So Zhou Huaiyu hoped that they could choose the easier way to go.

Before Gu Chaoyan could give any response, Zhou Huaijin said without thinking, “Land. We anchor when we reach Tongzhou port.”

If they left Chaoyan to make the choice, Chaoyan would definitely choose to bear her own pain. More importantly, they should reach Tongzhou as soon as possible. There were more than just them on this boat.

That was why he made the decision himself.

Chaoyan’s health mattered above all. He did not want insignificant things to hurt Chaoyan.

Zhou Huaiyu, despite his wish, had nothing to say since his brother made the choice. It was a very troublesome method to take, but well, they might as well do that.

Wuhen was not very pleased either.

“Tongzhou is different from Bingzhou, where wagons, horses and food were all ready, and we need to travel fast every day if we are on land because we need to find a hostel before evening. That might be even worse than traveling by boat, where everything is ready.” Wuhen reminded him.

“It is fine, I will get those things ready.” Zhou Huaijin replied.

The moment he had the idea of anchoring at Tongzhou, he already asked Fu Bao to inform his men at Tongzhou and ask them to get things ready. The moment they arrived at Tongzhou and Chaoyan felt better, they could set off directly.

That was why Zhou Huaijin was replying so confidently.

Wuhen sneered and said. “Then we anchor at Tongzhou, then we will see if we have wagons and food.”

After which he dashed off angrily.

Zhou Huaiyu apologized to Zhou Huaijin and followed Wuhen.

He met Wuhen when he was travelling. He saved Wuhen’s life, so he decided to stay by his side. They looked as if they were in a relationship of master and guard, but it was not like that at all.

Unlike other guards, Wuhen did not sign any contract with him. He stayed out of gratitude and he had his own personality, because he did not know how young masters behaved in the capital.

So he had to speak with Wuhen, since he was confronting his Eighth Brother.

That was why he hurried away.

However, neither Zhou Huaijin nor Gu Chaoyan lingered upon that any more. Zhou Huaijin asked the kitchen to prepare some mild-tasting dishes for Gu Chaoyan to eat.

“You will have to stay in this room before we arrive at Tongzhou. There is blood everywhere outside, and you don’t like the smell, so you won’t be able to relax out there,” Zhou Huaijin said pitifully.

Gu Chaoyan smiled. She had no energy to walk anywhere. She had not been aware that she could get sea-sick. She had always felt that she feared nothing.

At the Beihai Gang.

The Beihai Gang returned to the camp in a mess. Most of them were injured, and some were seriously injured. Those who were only slightly injured helped the seriously-injured ones to return to the camp.

It was the first time that the Beihai Gang had gotten this disorganized in many years.

“Second Chief, we should not let them go!” one injured man said with gritted teeth.
