Although he was dressed in the ordinary clothes of the Wu Dynasty, he had deep-set eyes, a high nose bridge, and a small cat-eye earring on his left ear, giving him a completely different temperament from the people of the Wu Dynasty.
Looking at that handsome face, Luo Baihu felt a chill run down his spine. He chuckled dryly and said, "Young Master is joking. I was just wondering if you were tired and if you would like us to bring in some ginseng soup."
The young man raised an eyebrow and smiled: "This joke wasn't meant for you. If Commander Luo has the time, he can say a few more words to the Marquis when he's around."
Luo Baihu jumped up, waving his hands frantically in fright: "Little ancestor, please spare your brother! I'll check the accounts right away, hey! I'll never dare to do it again, okay?"
When the young man saw him begging for mercy, he just snorted coldly: "The Marquis said that the commanders of the border outposts in various places are not allowed to leave their posts without permission. This time, Commander Luo traveled more than a hundred miles and even robbed the laborers who were performing corvée labor."

The young man stood up, his expression calm: "They've been targeted by the Hecheng government."
"Heh!" Luo Baihu laughed out loud.
They divided the laborers halfway and then went their separate ways, but two of the teams were intercepted.
Seeing the young man glaring at him, Luo Baihu quickly covered his mouth with his hand, a gesture that, combined with his large beard, made him look incredibly comical.
Just then, a soldier came to report: "Sir, there are two laborers outside who want to see you, and they also said they want to join the army!"
Few people are willing to join the military household, but now someone has actually come to them on their own initiative, and the soldier's voice is filled with joy.
Luo Baihu was also stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what was happening and ran outside, saying, "Let's go, let's go, let me see who's thinking such a crazy thing."
A soft cough came from behind the exquisite partition.
Luo Baihu changed the subject: "Ah! Let's see what kind of person is so loyal and courageous to the emperor and the country."
As Luo Baihu disappeared outside the door, Zhao Tingduo's smile faded, and a layer of worry settled between her brows.
