The sun had already risen. Xia Hongyuan stood up and bowed to Liu Sanniang. He turned around and left without saying anything.

Now that he had the answer to the question in his heart, he had no regrets.

The three countries had always been peaceful, but not long ago, a group of cavalries of the Jin Dynasty suddenly attacked the border of the Xia Dynasty and broke the peace.

The cavalries burned, killed, and robbed cities along the way. In less than seven days, they had already taken down three cities.

The messenger rode the horse for six days and six nights without stopping to send back the news. After delivering the bloody letter, he passed out on the spot.

An urgent court meeting was held late at night. Xia Hongming, Xia Hongyuan, Xia Hongjin, and Xia Hongyan all requested to go on the battlefield. Xia Bingguang’s face was pale as he sat on the dragon throne. After experiencing the incident at the Star Reaching Tower, he aged greatly. Looking at his sons kneeling below, his eyes turned red.

“The cavalry is ferocious. My sons, you have to be careful. I’ll wait for your return at home.”

Other than fighting the Jin Dynasty, they also had to be on guard against the Yan Dynasty. The three countries had already fallen out. Even if the Yan Dynasty had yet to make a move, they had to be on guard.

As soon as Xia Hongyuan left, Xia Hongming arrived. He was wearing silver armor and did not even enter the courtyard. “Miss Liu, I’m here to say goodbye to you. I know your family is in Yong County. They must be very worried at this moment. You can write a letter to tell them not to worry. Unless all the brave men in the Xia dynasty die, the country will be safe.”

Liu Sanniang handed a talisman to Xia Hongming. “Your Highness, take care.”

Xia Hongming took it and smiled. “Thank you, ATiss Liu. I’ll definitely make those evil people pay with their blood.”

Since ancient times, when a city fell, the weak, the old, and the children would be spared. However, the Jin Dynasty’s cavalry took down three cities of the Xia Dynasty and killed everyone they saw.

The letter sent back made people furious. There was no time to lose. They had to hurry to the border.

After saying goodbye to Liu Sanniang, Xia Hongming left.

Xia Bingguang put on his armor and went up the city gate to send the army off.

Liu Sanniang asked Hu Yu and Liu Yuanyuan to pack up. They were also leaving.

Su Yanyu disguised himself as a soldier. He was a little dumbfounded to see Liu Sanniang. “Shifu, are you leaving the capital to go home?”

Su Yanyu thought of the war. Liu Sanniang was in the capital, so her family must be worried about her. Thinking of Madam Wei and Mr. Liu, Su Yanyu said, “Shifu, go back and send my regards to everyone. I’ve already joined the army. My mother won’t allow it. I’m doing it secretly, so 1 don’t have time to talk to you.”

Hu Yu looked at Su Yanyu. “Young Marquis, you are quite a courageous person.”

When the war came, be it the nobles or the commoners, many people were willing to sacrifice their lives to protect their home.

Su Yanyu smiled. “As a citizen of the Xia Dynasty, I naturally have a responsibility to protect my home. When I return after the battle, 1’11 pay you a visit.”

After Su Yanyu left, Liu Sanniang and the others also left the capital.

The army in the capital had already been sent out in several batches. The army camp was empty, so they were also recruiting soldiers. There were long queues at various recruitment places.

People were eager to join the army.

“The Crown Prince, the First Prince, the Second Prince, and the Fifth Prince have all gone to war. Their identities are much nobler than ours. They’re not afraid of death. How can we be cowards? If we’re afraid, our country will be destroyed sooner or later.”

“You’re right. There’s nothing to be afraid of. They killed so many of our people. We’ll make them pay with their lives.”

Everyone was excited.

After leaving the capital, Liu Sanniang said to Chu Yan, “Let’s go back to Yong County.”

Chu Yan nodded. They traveled non-stop before returning to Yong County five days later.

Everyone was discussing the war.

Liu Sanniang knocked on the door. When Madam Wei opened the door and saw her, she was stunned. “Sanniang, when did you come back? Did you receive the letter I sent you?”

Liu Sanniang hugged Madam Wei and sniffed. “I set off in a hurry. Perhaps the letter hasn’t arrived yet.”

Madam Wei stroked Liu Sanniang’s back. “Sanniang, your first and second brothers joined the army. The Jun County is occupied, and everyone is in a panic. Other than the children, everyone in Willow Street has gone to the battlefield.”

When the commoners heard about the war, not only was no one afraid, but they were also motivated.

It was certain that some people would die, but if they did not stand up for their country, when their country fell, the ones who would die would be their descendants.

Madam Wei held Liu Sanniang’s hand. “Your sister-in-law is pregnant. I told Dalang not to go, but 1 couldn’t persuade him.”

Liu Sanniang comforted Madam Wei gently, “Mother, don’t worry. First Brother and Second Brother will definitely come back safely.”

Madam Wei nodded. “I pray every day.”

Tang An and Ye Niuniu stood silently at the side, their eyes red.

Now that Liu Sanniang was back, Madam Wei was relieved.

At night, Mr. Liu and Chu Yan drank together. Mr. Liu looked at Chu Yan and said solemnly, “Yan, Sanniang is already over 16 years old. Originally, her mother and 1 planned to let you get married this year, but you have always been away from home. Now that you two are back, set a date to hold the wedding.”

His two sons had already started a family. Mr. Liu had always been concerned about Liu Sanniang’s marriage. Previously, he wanted to keep Liu Sanniang for a few years, afraid that Chu Yan would not treat Liu Sanniang well. However, in the past two years, Chu Yan had proven to everyone that he was a good husband.

Before Chu Yan could speak, Liu Sanniang said, “Father, Mother, Chu Yan and 1 still have something to do. Let’s talk about marriage in the future.”

Madam Wei looked at Liu Sanniang. “Are you leaving with Yan? It’s not peaceful outside now.”

Liu Sanniang picked up a piece of fish for Madam Wei. “Mother, when it’s peaceful, Chu Yan and I will get married..”
