The protagonist chased the villain, and Tiandao screamed in anger

There are constant reports of battles at the border, and this time the enemy attack is more fierce than ever before.

While the reinforcements were still on their way to the front, the imperial court began to recruit soldiers from all over the country and issued an imperial decree, ordering officials from all over the country to immediately transport the prisoners in prisons to the front.

When the message came out, Xue Hai was already in a cage being transported to the border. This time he was unlucky because he had been severely tortured and his body was covered with wounds. He fainted before he even reached the battlefield.

They were all prisoners being escorted, and the jailers didn't care about their lives. It was not until they sent the prisoners to the border that they discovered that one of them had already died.

However, they did not feel any guilt. In the eyes of the jailers, these prisoners were used as shields and most of them would eventually die.

Xue Hai might die in a foreign land. Xue He had already guessed it after hearing the news that the prisoners in the prison were taken away overnight.

However, Aunt Xue, who was kept in the dark, still didn't know where her second son was. She only told her son about the major events in the county.

"Come on, Boss, drink some more."

Xue He woke up. He had a good physique. After lying down for a few days, his wounds scabbed over and he was able to get up and move around. But Aunt Xue was worried because she felt her son was still pale. She specially cooked some jujube porridge to replenish qi and blood and asked him to drink more.

"I can do it myself, mom doesn't have to worry." Xue He took it, drank it in two or three sips, and signaled that he was fine.

Only Aunt Xue was in the room. Xue He looked outside, but saw no one, so he asked, "Where's the young master?"

During the two days when he was most seriously unconscious, he vaguely felt that the young master was by his side, but how could Madam You and Master You allow the young master to come here?

"The young master... is in the east wing." Aunt Xue looked embarrassed and didn't know what to say. She looked at her son, frowned and sighed.

Xiao Cui poked her head out of the door, holding onto the door frame with both hands and announced: "Big brother Xue, the lady wants to see you!"

"Okay, we understand." Aunt Xue shook her eyelashes, turned around and replied to Xiao Cui. She was not surprised by this, but her face became much heavier.

Xue He observed Aunt Xue's expression and noticed something different, so he asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"

Aunt Xue was someone who couldn't keep secrets. She vaguely sensed what the master and mistress were planning, but she didn't know exactly. She was actually very flustered and shook her head, saying:

"I don't know, but the master and the mistress have locked up the young master. Boss, if you're gone..."

"It's useless to think too much. I'm going to see the Madam." Now that things have come to this, the Madam can't just sit there and do nothing. There must be a result.

After putting on his shoes and getting out of bed, Xue He tidied himself up and walked out on his own without Aunt Xue's support.

Mr. You and Mrs. You were both in the main room. Mr. You turned his face away, obviously still disliking Xue He.

"Madam, sir"

Still in the original position, Xue He knelt down, took a calm breath and accepted the two people's judgment on him.

Madam You was a rare presence of dignity. The atmosphere in the hall was very low. After a moment's pause, Madam You spoke:

"Xue He, Mu'er misses you. If we beat you to death with a stick, it will hurt Mu'er's heart. But you are a man after all. How can a man's company last long?"

His heart was beating erratically and couldn't calm down. Xue He could tell that Mrs. You didn't trust his feelings and was eager to explain himself.

"Madam, I..."

But before he could open his mouth, he was interrupted by Mrs. You.

"You don't need to explain to me. You can endure the beating from the master, which shows that you are sincere now. But feelings are not something that can be counted just by saying it. I never believe in those fake tricks of vows of love, and you don't need to promise me anything. These are useless. Men's vows are the most frivolous and cannot be trusted."

"Ahem...Madam" Madam You enjoyed her sarcasm so much that even Master You who was listening nearby was brought in.

He seemed a little embarrassed and covered it up by drinking tea, and pretended to cough to remind Mrs. You to get back to the topic.

Madam You glanced at Master You, picked up the two contracts on the table and handed them to the kneeling Xue He, motioned Xiao Cui to place the ink and ink pad beside Xue He, and continued:

"My Mu'er should have found the best marriage partner, but you kidnapped him. If you stay in the house, Mu'er will get tired of you and send you away. But if you hurt Mu'er's heart, no matter how much we punish you, it will be useless."

"If you want to prove yourself, then go and join the army. If you can come back alive, and if Mu'er still misses you by then, the master and I will not stop you."

Mrs. You said it very clearly that she did not believe in Xue He's determination, or in other words, she did not trust whether Xue He could persist in this friendship, and how long he could persist.

It's said to be giving Xue He a chance, but in fact it's still to separate the two of them and use time to suppress everything.

This is not a good thing for Xue He. Swords are merciless on the battlefield and he may have to pay the price with his life. Perhaps after he returns home after escaping death, the young master will already have many wives and concubines and countless children.

"Okay," the other party said, and Xue He signed his name neatly, accepting the "bet".

Mrs. You observed Xue He's reaction. She thought that no matter how deep the feelings were, when faced with life-threatening situations, they would waver to some extent.

Xue He's straightforward behavior made her look up to him.

Mrs. You took the copy that Xiao Cui sent over and looked at it carefully. She folded the paper and put it away, and was about to send Xue He back:

"Well, now that you've signed, submit the list to the government, and get ready to leave tonight." The nearest convoy to transport food and fodder to the front line is only tonight's team. If Xue He is going with the army, he must prepare now.

Xue He did not stand up, but leaned forward and asked: "Madam, can you please let me see the young master once before I leave? Just once!"
