In the late spring of that year, the Northern Rong suddenly launched an attack on the Great Zhou.
General Huo and his wife had received news from their son that their biological daughter belonged to someone else, so they specially wrote to Emperor Xuanwu requesting to return to the capital to visit her.
After receiving permission, they were about to set off when a riot broke out at the border.
Helpless, Huo Chongguang and his wife had no choice but to defend against the foreign enemy first, and then return to the capital to reunite with their daughter after the war ended.
Furthermore, Huo Chenzhou could not contain himself upon learning of the war between the two countries.
His arm had just recovered when he wrote a letter requesting permission to lead an expedition to the northern border.
Shen Xiyin learned the full story from Ren Dong.
Since she was recognized and returned to the Huo family, although she did not move back to that mansion, she would always go there whenever she had the chance, constantly keeping an eye on Huo Chenzhou's health.
Having lived for over a decade, the sudden appearance of a wealthy and powerful older brother left Ren Dong bewildered, but she did exactly what her younger sister was supposed to do.
That day was.
Upon learning that Huo Chenzhou was going to the Northern Border, she left and rushed to see Shen Qiyin.
"Sister, is brother's arm completely healed?" Is it healed enough for him to carry a sword into battle?
"Um."
In fact, Huo Chenzhou had asked her this question long before he even asked Emperor Xuanwu for permission.
She had said early on that his right arm was beyond repair, but his left hand was fine.
Going to the battlefield is no problem either.
But the premise is—
"But we also need to be careful that the arm doesn't get injured again." Otherwise, it will end up like the right arm, completely useless.
Of course, that's precisely where the problem lies.
On the battlefield, swords and spears have no eyes.
Who can guarantee that Huo Chenzhou will be safe and sound?
But everyone, including Ren Dong, knew that no one could stop Huo Chenzhou for that reason.
He was willing to risk his own life to stop the Northern Rong's incursions.
Honeysuckle's brows furrowed more and more tightly.
After a long silence, she suddenly looked up hesitantly at Shen Qiyin.
The latter was preparing medicine and seemed completely unaware of her gaze.
"Sister..." Ren Dong lowered her brows, her expression unusually hesitant.
"Hmm?" Shen Qiyin walked to the other side to get the medicine, her back to her, her figure busy, muttering to herself, "Where is the missing ingredient? Why can't I find it?"
"Sister, I...I want to..."
Shen Qiyin exclaimed "Ah!" with a delighted tone, "I remember now!"
After saying that, he quickly walked out.
When she returned, she seemed to remember something and asked Ren Dong, "What were you trying to say just now?"
Honeysuckle just shook her head: "...No, it's nothing."
She said she had other matters to attend to at Qiying Pavilion, and then left.
As Shen Qiyin listened to the receding hoofbeats outside, her eyes suddenly darkened. She looked down at the medicine she had grabbed haphazardly in her hand, her mind in turmoil.
Actually, she wasn't unaware of what Ren Dong was about to say.
But it was precisely because she had guessed that she dared not let her say it aloud, because she did not know how she should react if she said she wanted to accompany Huo Chenzhou to the northern border to fight the enemy.
From a rational perspective, she should support her.
After all, she had her biological parents and her brother in the North.
Or perhaps, going into battle to kill the enemy is also her current ambition.
But the battlefield was dangerous, and she simply couldn't calmly watch her jump into the fire.
what to do……
She tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep for a long time.
When Xiao Yan arrived, he thought she had already rested and was just going to take a look before leaving. Unexpectedly, her eyes were wide open and she was wide awake.
He was surprised: "Waiting for me?"
