Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 520 Unnamed Draft

Su Run looked at his sister laughing foolishly. After they finished talking, he said to Su He, "We don't invite you to our military camp. It's where all the grown men live. The smell is weird. You'd better not go. Come to see me when you have time. We can meet and chat here."

Su He thought about it and it was true. Men's private parts didn't smell that good. She smiled and said, "It's fine if we can meet. I just miss you guys so much. Brother, Su Feng and Su Pei are both engaged, and Su Che is also dating. What are you going to do?"

Su He smiled and asked Ye Jingyan who was sitting next to him: "Brother, what do you think? Do you want me to help you find it? I came here with a mission from my grandmother."

Su Run quickly waved his hands and said, "It's inappropriate for a young man to think about starting a family if he hasn't made any achievements at such a young age."

Ye Jingyan smiled and said, "My brother is still unmarried. I have the same idea as Su Run. Junior sister, please wait for us. I'll leave the future to you."

Ye Jingyan had already known his feelings, otherwise he would not have come with Sister Su Run as soon as he heard that she was coming. He missed Su He very much and wanted to see how she was doing and whether this long journey went well.

He hoped to achieve success soon, and once he was confident, he would shamelessly ask his parents to ask a matchmaker to come to his house to propose marriage. Regardless of whether it would work out, he would give it a try. Although there was still a gap between the two families, he believed that he could definitely catch up.

Ye Jingyan has been working hard in the army. He knows that his chance lies here, and the road to other places is blocked. The way out for his family now is to make achievements in the army and firmly take root here.

The border town is far away from the emperor, even if there are old friends who want to settle old scores, they will not be willing to travel so far to stir up trouble here. Especially with the reputation of General Wang An, the emperor will not allow anyone to come here to make trouble for the sake of the stability of the border.

The Wang family has been able to guard here for generations, which is not something that ordinary families can do. The loyalty of the Wang family is also the guarantee for them to stay here. In addition, the whole country of Ansheng now likes civil officials and dislikes military officials. The civil officials in the court have a higher voice than the military officials.

There are only a few families that can guard the border towns. They have guarded the four directions of Ansheng country for generations. As long as they do not surrender to the enemy and betray the country, they will continue to occupy the border towns.

It was also based on this situation that the Ye family was able to step out from criminal slaves and gradually become civilians. Of course, joining the army is also the fastest way. Here, only the strong are recognized, not the background. A good background cannot keep you alive on the battlefield. Only strong force is the best guarantee.

Besides, the rich and powerful in the capital, prefectures, and counties all let their children study and take exams, so why would they let them learn martial arts and join the army? They know which path is the best and easiest to move up.

Su He had already prepared for the answers from his senior and his own brother. Especially now that the war was imminent, they had no other thoughts.

Su He took out several sets of soft armor that he had prepared and told them to remember to wear them normally, as they were life-saving items.

The two of them each held a set and looked at it. This is a good thing, light and strong, and can protect the chest and back. There are armors in the barracks, but they are far inferior to this. It is very heavy and inconvenient to wear. If you act alone, you can't wear it out, it will easily expose your identity.

Su He told them: "Killing enemies and making contributions on the battlefield is important, but the most important thing is to save your life. As long as you are alive, everything is there. If you lose your life, then you lose everything."

Su Run said in a clear voice: "Aren't all the soldiers loyal? There are loyal bones buried everywhere in the green mountains. Why should we return home wrapped in horsehide? We have already put life and death aside."

After hearing his words, Su He was so angry that her face turned pale. She said anxiously, "Brother, the whole family is worried about you, and you just don't care about your life. If you do this, I will not come to see you in the future, and I will not recognize you as my brother."

Su Run was so scared that he quickly apologized and said to Su He: "No! I was just talking. How could I bear to risk my life? Our family has finally lived a good life, how could we let the enemy destroy it? I trained very hard. If you don't believe me, ask Jing Yan."
