The general was originally puzzled as to why people were allowed to get on the carriages. He casually looked through a few carriages before he was sure that there were indeed fragile objects on them, such as porcelain, which would be destroyed if hit.

"Why did Manager Zhou bring so many utensils?"

Shopkeeper Zhou explained: "General, you don't know that even in wars, we still need pots and pans to cook, but these things are the easiest to damage and be stolen, so they are scarce."

Although the general felt that this reason was far-fetched, it was reasonable, so he did not delve into it further.

He asked a few questions as usual and then left.

Liu Huan got on a carriage, and the people inside shocked her, "Qiu Rong, why are you here too?"

"Sir, come up quickly."

Qiu Rong was very excited, her eyes were red as she held Liu Huan's hand.

"Young Master has become much darker and thinner."

Liu Huan laughed, "I drew this. Don't you think I look better if I'm a little thinner?"

Qiu Rong nodded in agreement, "Young Master looks good no matter what."

Liu Huan asked, "Why are you here too? Did Lord Su pick you up?"

It turned out that on that day, when Su Yi saw that he could not persuade Liu Huan, he immediately asked Changbai to arrange the matter.

After Liu Huan left, Su Wan gave Qiu Rong and Qiu Ju a holiday. It was only when Qiu Rong returned that she learned that Chang Bai had visited their home that day.

She was deeply moved when she saw the newly renovated house and her brothers’ chubby faces.

Her stepmother said, "Your employer is a good family. Since you don't want to be redeemed, then just work hard. You won't go wrong."

Qiu Rong nodded, "I know, I just came back to see you, I'll be relieved to see that you are all well."

Qiu Rong went back the next day, and she was very glad that she went back the next day.

Just then, Changbai returned and asked her if she was willing to go to the border to take care of the master. She agreed without hesitation and only said to Su Wan: "If anything happens to me, please help me take care of my family."

But she didn't tell this to Liu Huan.

She took out the plaster that she had prepared long ago and slowly took off Liu Huan's shoes. "Master, are you exhausted in the past half month?"

Liu Huan shook his head, "It's okay, but my foot does hurt a little."

Qiu Rong put her feet on her knees, and Liu Huan's face turned red, "Stinky..."

Qiu Rong did not allow her to break free: "It's okay, I will fix it soon."

After applying the medicine and wrapping the bandage, he took out the cake and said, "Sir, try it. This is made by the eldest lady. She said it can be kept for a long time. I asked me to bring it to you for a taste."

Liu Huan ate the pancakes Su Wan baked and asked, "Is my sister angry?"

"The eldest lady was very angry and was going to come find you that day, but was stopped by the son-in-law."

He took out a lucky charm from his pocket and said, "And this, the young lady went to the Huguo Temple to ask for it overnight. We asked someone to bring it to you before we set off."

Liu Huan was so moved that she almost cried, "My sister is so nice."

Qiu Rong asked: "Why didn't you see the adults?"

Liu Huan pursed his lips, "Your parents are ignoring me, and are you still angry?" He yawned twice and said, "I'm so tired, I'm going to take a nap."

She fell asleep soon after she finished talking. Qiu Rong took out the prepared blanket and covered her with it. She was making clothes on the side. They were all for men. After all, she would be at the border for two or three months, so she had to prepare some spare clothes.

At the border, in the military camp.

Several generals stood solemnly in the tent, and outside there were soldiers coming and going.

"General, what should we do if our food and fodder are looted and burned? We can't hold out for much longer."

The general looked serious, "Don't panic, new food and fodder are on the way. Tell everyone to save some and wait for the food and fodder to arrive."

"Don't confront the enemy for now. Just keep circumventing them. Once the food and supplies arrive, we will drive those savages back to their lair."

"Report! General, the enemy is attacking again."

General Qi Hongchuan took his sword and walked out of the tent, asking his generals to gather the people.

"Brothers, those savages are coming again. This will be a tough battle. Are you afraid?"

The soldiers were all strong men, holding up their spears and saying, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

"Okay, then follow me to fight. We must defeat those bastards."

"Knock him down, knock him down..."

This time the general gathered all the soldiers and prepared for the final battle before the arrival of food and supplies.

Before every battle, soldiers would be given a quarter of an hour to leave their prepared last words. If they could not return, that would be the last thing they sent home.

"Chengzi, please write a letter for me. Tell my son that he is unfilial and cannot go to the parents to show his filial piety. Tell my wife to take good care of the child and marry him if she finds a suitable man."

The person who spoke was an honest and simple man with dark skin and very visible white teeth.

"Brother Zhuanzi, don't say that. We will all come back."

"Yes, your child is still waiting for you to come back."

The man called Zhuanzi brother smiled and said, "I have a feeling that I may not be able to come back this time. Brothers, if you can return safely, please go to my hometown to visit my parents and children if you have the chance. Just consider it as a big brother thanking you all in advance."

"Then please write one for me too. Chengzi, you have beautiful handwriting, please write a few words for me as well."

Everyone gathered around and asked the young man Chengzi to write a letter, but at the end they realized that he had not written one.

"Chengzi, why don't you write?"

Chengzi smiled bitterly, "I won't write it anymore. If I really died in the battle, I don't want to send the news back. I don't want my parents to worry. I have two older brothers at home who will take good care of my parents. Let them think that I have been fighting at the border."

Everyone packed up and prepared to leave when a messenger came in and asked, "Who's Su Cheng?"

The man at the side pushed Chengzi who was in a daze, "Chengzi, it seems like someone is calling you."

Chengzi stood up and said, "It's me."

"This is something your family sent you. Take it."

Another person said, "At this critical moment, you still have the mind to send things in."

The messenger said, "Maybe this is the last time we'll see it, so just send it on."

Seeing that the time was almost up, Chengzi quickly unwrapped the package, revealing a talisman, a dagger, and a letter inside.

He read the contents carefully and cried with excitement.

Someone beside him asked him, "Chengzi, what's wrong with you?"

"I have found my sister who has been missing for many years." Chengzi wiped her tears and kept the letter, the blessed amulet, and the dagger carefully.

When he wanted to write another letter, it was too late. He was urged to leave quickly.

Without time to feel moved or surprised, he followed everyone to gather and went outside the city gate.

The enemy troops on the opposite side were all huge and they probably knew that they didn't have much food and supplies, so they wanted to launch a fierce attack on the city.

The war drums sounded and the city gates opened.

A large number of soldiers rushed out, and the two armies fought in a melee, and it was difficult to tell the winner for a while.
