After a brief farewell to the children, the leader of the Imperial College Army, who was also a young teacher at the Imperial College, gave an order and everyone took their belongings and set out on the extremely dangerous road.

Before Anzhi left, he pulled his sister aside and said, "Don't follow me!"

He knew his sister too well what kind of person she was. If he didn't warn her, she might just follow him.

"What will happen to our parents if we all die? Especially grandma and mom. They can't bear it, don't you understand?"

After saying a lot, An Ran just told him to be careful and didn't mention whether he should go or not.

Seeing the main group leaving, An Zhi had no choice but to say, "Be obedient and wait for your brother to come back!" and leave.

Liu Huan adjusted his mood and asked An Ran, "What did your brother say to you?"

An Ran shook her head, "It's okay, he told me to be obedient."

Liu Huan didn't think much about it. He was already very sad about his son leaving, so there was no way he would think about anything else.

After returning, he followed his own words and started to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures.

Everyone in the family is like this except the growing children.

For a while, no one cared about An Ran's movements, making her think that her plan was perfect.

An Ran was anxiously waiting for news in the room. She changed her clothes as soon as she received the letter.

"Xiaolan, let's go."

As soon as he went out, he was caught by Liu Huan and Su Yi.

"Where?"

Liu Huan's serious words frightened An Ran so much that she lowered her head guiltily.

"Answer!" Two serious words again.

An Ran raised her head and said, "I want to help my brother. I want to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and defend my country."

"Mom, I have been learning martial arts in Xuanzhen Sect for many years. Most people are no match for me. And the people you gave me will protect me. I don't want my brother to be alone there."

Liu Huan looked at his daughter's determination and thought of how he insisted on following Su Yi to the front line. Only she knew the hardships they went through.

She didn't want her daughter to go through the same thing, as there were too many uncertainties for women on the battlefield.

"What if I say I won't let you go?"

An Ran said: "Mom, I know you are very open-minded. You will understand me, right?"

Liu Huan remained silent, and Su Yi was caught in the middle, feeling awkward. "Su Anran, do you know what you are talking about? This is not how your mother's enlightenment works."

"I will protect myself. My mother taught me that every citizen has a share of responsibility for the fate of a country. Why can't I go just because I'm a woman?"

"Back then, the Princess Tai Chang killed countless enemies single-handedly and returned safely. I am leading so many people now. I am not acting on my own. I have the ability to do so. Why can't I defend my country like a man?"

"Or do you think that women should be trapped in the backyard, taking care of their husbands and children? I think so too. Is this what you want to see?"

An Ran's accusations made Liu Huan and his daughter breathless. Liu Huan suddenly felt a little regretful that he should not have instilled such thoughts into his daughter.

But to be fair, do I really want to see my daughter trapped in the backyard, waiting for her man to return all day, and being jealous of the concubine?

She couldn't do it. She used to be a highly educated person with independent thoughts and personality. She had her own dreams and pursuits, and even wanted to have her own foothold.

How could she, who believes that women are not appendages of men, not understand her daughter's thoughts?

Su Yi knew what his wife was thinking, and he could tell from the look on her face that she agreed.

Although he was extremely reluctant, he was still prepared to compromise.

"Wait for me first."

An Ran didn't know what he was going to do, so she could only be obedient at this critical moment.

Soon Su Yi came over with a box and handed it to An Ran, "Go change it."

An Ran took the box and was confused. "What is this?"

Liu Huan pulled her back and said, "Just change if your father tells you to. Don't be so long-winded."

She closed the door and took off her daughter's clothes. She took out the things in the box and said, "This is the gold silk soft armor your father asked someone to make. It is invulnerable to swords and guns."

There was another piece underneath, and she took it out as well. "It took several years to make, and it was only delivered recently. I haven't had a chance to give it to your brother yet."

The gold-thread soft armor is very light, and it feels like wearing nothing when worn. An Ran finds it magical.

Liu Huan looked at her and asked her to swear, "You can never take off this dress, you swear!"

After getting the promise, she said, "This is for your brother. Remember, don't tell anyone."

The two held their daughter's hand and gave her instructions. Finally, when it was almost dawn and An Ran wanted to leave, Su Yi said, "Don't worry, say goodbye to your grandmother first."

"But……"

"Listen to your father."

When Su's mother heard that her granddaughter was going to stay at the Princess's Mansion for a while, she was actually unwilling to do so because she was afraid that her granddaughter would be wronged.

However, after being persuaded by her son and daughter-in-law, she reluctantly sent the man to the carriage.

"If someone bullies you, just come back. We won't suffer that kind of injustice."

An Ran held her hand and said goodbye: "Grandma, eat and drink well, and wait for me to come back."

It was not until the carriage had gone far that Su's mother reluctantly went back, "When branches grow big, they will split apart; when birds grow big, they will leave home."

An Ran took Xiao Lan and changed their clothes and rode on horses, changing horses every time they arrived at a post station.

After traveling day and night, they finally arrived at the front line ten days later.

There were troops stationed ahead. When they saw a dozen people, they stopped them and asked, "Who are you? Don't you know that this is a forbidden area?"

An Ran said she was here to join the army, and showed the forged document to the officer. The officer looked her up and down and said, "Go over there to register and get your weapons first."

They registered, but they didn't bring any weapons. People who hang out in the underworld all bring their own weapons.

A dozen people registered and were led to the military camp. The person leading them said, "The main force has gone to attack the city. You should go and train first. After the training is finished, you can go together."

After that, he took them to a tent before leaving. The first thing they did was to get a good night's sleep. Only by keeping in good spirits could they achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Just when I was sleeping soundly, I heard cheers from outside, "We've conquered it, we've conquered it."

It turned out that the soldiers came back to tell the logistics department that they had captured a city, and asked everyone to pack up and set up camp under the city wall.

After each city was captured, a period of rest was needed to allow the tired soldiers to rest.

In the big tent, several generals were planning how to fight next and how to utilize the outstanding talents in the army.

Among them are Li Jingchen and Su Anzhi. Except for a few generals, no one else here knows their identities.

And Li Jingchen still used the pseudonym Rijing.

"You have performed very well today. I will record your military achievements and report them to the emperor after returning."

The two naturally had no objections, as military merit was only part of their goal.

After analyzing the pros and cons, they let the person go back. An Zhi and the other person went out and walked in the same direction. It seemed that the two people were not very familiar with each other.

Suddenly Anzhi saw a suspicious figure from behind. He stepped forward, grabbed the person and dragged him into a tent.
