Tian An tactfully told everyone in the Wu family about Mrs. Wei's concerns.
Everyone fell silent after hearing this. If it was anything else, they could still fight for it, but when it came to going to the battlefield, they really...
Alas! Mrs. Wu sighed, "The eldest and third sons' marriages went smoothly before. I thought it would continue to be so smooth, but I didn't expect that what was coming would still come."
It was generally acknowledged that it was difficult for men from military families to find wives. As parents, she not only did not blame Madam Wu, but also understood her very well. It was just...
She walked towards Wu Hongyi with some distress, patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Second brother, it is the Wu family who has wronged you, just forget about Lingran!"
Wu Hongkun and Wu Hongjing also stepped forward and patted his shoulders to comfort him. This kind of thing was very common in a military family, and each of them had prepared themselves mentally early on.
Although they also hope that Wu Hongyi can be as lucky as them and get what he wants, now things are not going as they wish, and they can only advise him to be more open-minded.
Kary Ng, Qin Yalan and Song Zhiyun looked away with tears in their eyes. They really couldn't bear to watch this scene of lovers unable to get together.
Facing his mother and brother and sister-in-law, Wu Hongyi could only force a smile and tell them not to worry about him.
But who can truly feel at ease with that smile on her face that is uglier than crying?
However, he soon no longer had the energy to be sad.
An express letter from the Northern Territory, sent over eight hundred miles, brought the news that General Wu had been attacked late at night and was seriously injured. For a time, there was a lot of discussion in the court, and the Wu family was in chaos.
When Tian An got the news and came to the house, Madam Wu was standing in front of her horse, sword in hand and bag on her back, saying to her three sons, "I will go get your father first. You three will stay in the mansion and wait for the court to send you."
General Wu was seriously injured this time and must be sent back to the capital. The three sons of the Wu family all have military ranks and cannot act on their own without an imperial decree. Therefore, Mrs. Wu has to go and pick up General Wu in person.
Fortunately, Mrs. Wu often travels in and out of the Northern Territory with General Wu. She is even more familiar with the route than the three Wu brothers. She also practices sword and stick wielding a lot in her daily life. In addition, she has guards accompanying her, so the three Wu brothers are relatively relieved. Now they just hope that their father can hold on.
When Tian An saw them finish their conversation, he hurried forward and handed a package to Mrs. Wu. "Aunt Wu, here are some medicines for injuries and inflammation that I prepared. The directions and dosages are written on them. Please take them with you. They will come in handy at a critical moment."
Mrs. Wu accepted the package gratefully. "Auntie, I really don't know how to thank you. I was planning to stop by and see you later, but I didn't expect you to actually deliver it to me."
Tian An waved her hand and said, "Aunt, you're welcome. It's all easy to do. I hope I can help you."
"Yes, yes. I'll have to trouble you again when I bring my general back."
"Okay, I'll do my best."
After getting Tian An's assurance, Mrs. Wu jumped onto the horse swiftly, whipped the horsewhip, and with a "go!" sound, the horse galloped away for a long distance.
After watching Madam Wu leave, the three brothers of the Wu family immediately set off for the military camp. Now his father was attacked and seriously injured. If it weren't for the generals sent by the emperor to support him temporarily, the Northern Territory would probably be in chaos.
However, the Wu family has been guarding the Northern Territory for generations, and the Wu family’s children grew up in the Northern Territory. It can be said that no one is more familiar with the Northern Territory than the Wu family.
Although the new general could hold the fort for a while, if he did not understand the local geography and customs, he would easily fall into the trap of the Beiming Kingdom's enemy army. Therefore, they speculated that the emperor would definitely send another general from the Wu family.
Sure enough, in less than half a day, the three brothers received the imperial edict of dispatch.
After sending off the palace servant who delivered the imperial edict, the three brothers had a fierce dispute over who should go to the Northern Territory.
The eldest brother, Wu Hongkun, said, "I'm the eldest brother, so naturally I'll go. Don't both of you fight with me."
The second oldest, Wu Hongyi, refused to give in. "You're going? You and your eldest sister-in-law are newlyweds, are you willing to let her be frightened?"
The third brother, Wu Hongjing, stood up and said, "Second brother, you're not married yet! Why are you going? Let me go! I'm already married and have children, so it's perfect for me."
"What do you mean by suitable? Do you want your sister-in-law to raise Sizhe alone? Listen to what you say, are you talking like a human being?"
Kristy Wu and her two sisters-in-law watched helplessly as her three brothers quarreled over who should go to the Northern Territory, but they were powerless to do anything.
Judging from the current situation, this trip would probably be a life-or-death situation, and no matter who goes, they will regret it.
Qin Yalan and Song Zhiyun secretly didn't want their husbands to go, but they couldn't say it out loud. They could only watch the three men arguing with red eyes.
This is the helplessness of being a daughter-in-law of a military family. Even if they have been prepared for this from the moment they decided to marry into the family, only when the moment comes can they truly feel the helplessness.
Wiping away the tears from her eyes, Song Zhiyun stood up and stopped the three brothers from arguing. "Since no one can figure it out right now, let's just leave it to God to decide."
"What does God decide?" Wu Hongyi was a little confused.
"My method is to draw lots." Song Zhiyun asked the maid to bring paper and pen, cut a piece of white paper into three equal parts, and then wrote on it, "The person who draws the one to go to the expedition will go to the Northern Territory. If you draw a blank paper, you can stay here, how about that?"
"Sister-in-law's idea is fair." Seeing that his two younger brothers agreed, the eldest brother Wu Hongkun naturally had no objection.
So, Song Zhiyun randomly shuffled the order of the three folded slips of paper in front of the three brothers, then walked up to Wu Hongjing and said, "Third brother, you are the youngest, you go first!"
Wu Hongjing didn't care who came first or later. He casually took a piece of paper and opened it. It was a blank piece of paper.
Seeing that Wu Hongjing was ruled out, everyone turned their attention to the remaining Wu Hongyi and Wu Hongkun.
"Who of you two wants to go first?" Song Zhiyun asked the two brothers with a smile.
"Me first." The two brothers said in unison, both wanting to get the only piece of paper with words written on it.
In the end, Wu Hongyi took advantage of the close distance and took action first, but when he opened it, it was just a blank piece of paper.
"How can this be a blank piece of paper?"
He thought of something and immediately snatched the remaining note from his sister-in-law's hand, but when he opened it, he saw the word "go to war" written in black and white.
Song Zhiyun looked at him with a wry smile, "Second brother, are you suspecting that my eldest sister-in-law is cheating?"
The facts were before him, and Wu Hongyi had nothing to say.
Wu Hongkun stood up and took Song Zhiyun's hand, looking at everyone, "Alright, since God has chosen me, then it's settled. Time is urgent, and I have to go pack up. Everyone, let's go!"
After that, he took Song Zhiyun away first.
