Luo Yunhe was still upset. So many people hadn't even had a proper time with him yet, and now he had to join the army? That was such a dangerous thing.

Su Jingxuan knew perfectly well that his master was worried he didn't want him to go, but it was no longer up to him. His name had already been submitted, and there was no point in saying anything more. Besides, his master also wanted him to go, although he didn't know what his master's arrangements were. But he knew his master must have a reason for doing this.

"Wife, I promise you, even if I join the army, I will take good care of myself, after all, I still have some martial arts skills."

"It's just fighting barbarians, right? If I defeat them, maybe I'll come back."

"But it's very dangerous!"

"I'm not afraid of danger, but I'm just worried about you. Will you be safe at home alone after I leave?"

Are you managing to handle things at home? If, and I mean if you really can't manage, you can hire some people, or you don't need to feed the pigs anymore; you can just focus on making your wine. Hire some people when you harvest the grain, and hire some people when you harvest the grapes…”

Luo Yunhe felt a pang of heartache as she listened to his every word, which seemed to express concern for her rather than his own safety.

"No, my husband, even if you're gone, I'll still raise the pigs at home well for you. When you come back, I'll make sure you get the pork from the pigs we raised ourselves!"

In the village.

A sense of sadness pervades this moment.

Luo Yunhe was still unwilling to give up, so she put a lot of money on her person and went to find the village chief.

"Uncle, is there really no other way?"

“Girl, it’s not that I’m unwilling to use this back door for you, it’s just that there’s really no other way. Besides, every household in the government has a secret.”

Even if you went to the government office with most of your money, you might not be able to get through even by using connections.

Barbarians often invade our land without cause, plunder our grain, and sometimes even do heinous things. This time, our country clearly does not intend to let them off the hook.

Therefore, this expedition will definitely be a very serious matter!

The village chief knew perfectly well that the young couple had finally settled into a peaceful life, and now this had happened; it was understandable that they couldn't accept it. Moreover, Su Jingxuan was now a normal person; if he were still disabled as before, he wouldn't have needed to go.

Luo Yunhe turned and left dejectedly.

Looking at him, Cheng Zhang sighed helplessly and said, "You don't need to worry about the pros and cons of war. As long as you survive, Zhengde Military Industry will naturally reap many benefits. Even my own son needs to go to the battlefield. You don't need to be pessimistic!"

"I understand, thank you, village chief!"

Three days later.

People from the government have arrived.

They began to check the number of people one by one according to the submitted list.

Each person being expropriated carried a small package on their back, and the people around them were all telling them to be careful on their journey.

The same applies to Luo Yunhe.

Su Jingxuan carried the package that Luo Yunhe had prepared for him on his back and looked at his little wife in front of him.

He listened patiently as she repeatedly gave him her instructions, nodding in agreement.

"Husband, did you remember what I told you? You must protect your life. No matter if you are crippled or disabled, as long as you are alive, our family will not fall apart!"

"I understand, honey. Don't worry, I can definitely do it!"

The villagers were reluctant to see their sons go to the battlefield like this, and some even burst into tears.

The officials who arrived gave them enough time to explain their situation.

The sun had been setting for quite some time, almost directly overhead, before the officials finally spoke up.

"Alright! This is the time to go to the battlefield and make great contributions. Some people want to go but don't even have the chance. Why are you all so pessimistic here?"

It's just fighting some barbarians; we don't need to take it so seriously as ants.

It's getting late, everyone come with me. Remember, don't even think about running away. If you're discovered, it could implicate your families!

"Father, Mother, I'm leaving. Take care of yourselves!"

"Little brother, I'm leaving the family affairs to you. You must take good care of our parents!"

One by one, everyone spoke up, reluctantly parting from their parents.

About forty or fifty people from the entire village stood up.

Su Jingxuan was among them, occasionally turning his head to look at his little wife.

Luo Yunhe wanted to rush over and stop him from leaving several times, but she knew that no matter what she did, it would be in vain, and she might even implicate Su Jingxuan. She restrained herself.

He could only raise his hand with a pained expression, watching Su Jingxuan wave at him.

He wasn't the only one who did this; almost everyone in the village was watching.

Everyone stood at the village entrance, and even after they had disappeared from sight, they were still reluctant to leave.

When the village chief turned around and saw their actions again, he sighed helplessly and waved his hand.

"Everyone, stop standing here and go back. They've already left. Now we can only pray that they come back safe and sound!"

"Let's go back!"

The somber mood lingered in everyone's hearts for a long time, but they still reluctantly left the village entrance.

Luo Yunhe didn't leave. She didn't know how long she had been standing there, but she felt her legs getting stiff before she finally moved.

Finally, he walked back in silence.

She wasn't in a good mood to begin with, and she didn't say a word to anyone she met along the way, only heading towards her house.

However, some people are blind and insist on hanging around in front of him, saying things that seem plausible but are actually false.

"Oh, tsk tsk tsk, isn't this my sister-in-law? What's wrong? My brother's gone, why are you so distraught?" Su Ruyi's mocking voice rang out.

"That's right. My older brother is gone, and we don't even know if he's alive or dead. He might not be able to come back. Aren't you acting a little too soon?"

"I'm not trying to be mean, but my brother isn't dead yet, and you're acting like this? Anyone who didn't know better would think you were hoping he wouldn't come back!"

Luo Yunhe had no intention of paying attention to this person, but when she heard the word "death" from her mouth, she stopped in her tracks and slowly turned her head to look at the arrogant Su Ruyi.

Su Ruyi, who was talking non-stop, stopped abruptly when she saw Luo Yunhe turn around, but she quickly realized what was going on.

He still looked at her with disdain: "I'm warning you, I didn't lay a hand on you or curse at you. If you dare to lay a hand on me, don't blame me for going to the authorities to report you!"

Luo Yunhe sneered: "Su Ruyi, it seems the lessons I taught you before weren't enough!"
