"Since you're not confident you'll come back alive, why go?" Lu Renbing wasn't unaware of Lao Shu's thoughts, but how could she not feel pain watching her loved ones go to their deaths?
"I..." Lao Shu knew he had wronged Lu Renbing, as they were newlyweds.
He married her, but he couldn't take full responsibility for her.
He betrayed her.
But if he were to watch Shang Tian fight a bloody battle while he remained uninvolved, how could his conscience allow him to live with himself?
"Ah Bing, I'm so sorry for what happened." He lowered his head, unable to say anything to make Lu Renbing understand him.
That would be utterly shameless.
"Are you determined to do this?" Lu Renbing looked at him with red eyes. Seeing that he was silent, she couldn't help but laugh foolishly, "People often say, 'A woman should follow her husband wherever he goes.'"
"Today I, Lu Renbing, am marrying you, you rat, so I'll do all sorts of petty thievery with you."
"Ah Bing, what are you doing?" Lao Shu was terrified. He didn't want Lu Renbing to be harmed in the slightest.
He wouldn't even dare leave the child to her, let alone something like this involving fighting.
This is playing with your life!
Lu Renbing chuckled and looked at him, asking, "What do you think I would do?" She stood up, looked coldly at Laoshu, and said, "Laoshu, Shangtian has been kind to you, but has he not been kind to me?"
I, Lu Renbing, am not someone who can't distinguish between good and bad. I have argued and fought with Shang Tian.
However, if it weren't for Heaven's leniency, neither of us would be where we are today.
I must repay this kindness.
Lao Shu hurriedly grasped her hand and said, "What gratitude? I'll go and report it myself."
"Just stay home, okay?"
Seeing his almost pleading attitude, Lu Renbing's heart softened.
"Laoshu, there is no safe place in the world nowadays. No matter where I hide, I may not be able to keep it safe."
Today those people are only throwing stones, but what if they throw gunpowder one day?
Do you think I'll have a chance to escape then?
Lao Shu fell silent. He knew Lu Renbing was telling the truth, but...
He was still worried.
He clutched his head, saying in anguish, "Isn't there any other way?"
He didn't want to die, nor did he want Lu Renbing to take any risks.
But……
What can Shang Tian do if he can't stop something?
Seeing Lao Shu's pained expression, Lu Renbing sighed and said, "Don't think so much. We are husband and wife, sleeping together in life. We may die without a complete corpse, but being able to die hand in hand may not be a bad thing."
Lao Shu hugged Lu Renbing and burst into tears, "Renbing, you must live well. I will try my best to live on too."
You trust me, trust me, okay?
"Okay." Lu Renbing responded gently, a rare occurrence for her. In truth, she was already very content to marry Lao Shu and to have such a loving man.
As night deepened, Mosquito stood beside Shang Tian and chuckled, "Young Master, why don't I stand on top for you? Let me show off a bit."
Shang Tian looked at Mosquito, whose face was all smiles but whose eyes were full of seriousness, and couldn't help but smile slightly. He said, "Unfortunately, I have just decided to let General Chang take my place."
Mosquito frowned and muttered in dissatisfaction, "He's so old, can he really manage?"
Besides, he has sons and grandsons. What if he misses his family and starts crying when he's beating someone up?
"You should let me go. My house is empty and clean; it's perfect for me."
