Volume 2, Chapter 74: Dedication

Dong Youyin was a little embarrassed when Old Man Dong looked at him. He coughed slightly and was about to say something polite, but was pulled by Mr. Sun.

Sun couldn't wait to say: "Dad, Mom, I'm pregnant, and Si Lang's father can't go. Besides, why can't he do it? He has no strength and no heart. Why not die on the battlefield?"

Didn’t the fourth brother say that whoever has the best chance of surviving will be allowed to go. Shiro’s father is the stupidest, so he can’t go.”

Mrs. Qian snorted lightly and questioned: "Are you pregnant? You and San'er have only slept together for a few days? And you're pregnant?"

Dalang, Erlang, Daya, and Erya all knew something. After hearing this, they all blushed with twinkling eyes.

Mrs. Sun's face turned red, she frowned and said, "A few days ago, weren't we a family of three in a shack?!"

Mrs. Qian snorted coldly and said to Shangguan Ruoli: "She's from Si'er's family, take her pulse and see if she's pregnant!"

Shangguan Ruoli: "..."

Is this the legendary lying gun?

Sun's eyes flashed, she shrank her shoulders and said, "She only knows how to sew up wounds, how can she know how to feel a pulse!"

Wulang didn't want to listen anymore, and the madman who protected his mother came online, "My mother can take the pulse! My mother can take the pulse very well! You are just pretending to be sick and don't dare to let my mother take the pulse!"

The little man didn't know what pregnancy was, and felt that taking the pulse meant he was ill, but he hit the nail on the head.

Sun's angry old face turned red, and she became angry and said: "You are talking nonsense at such a young age, disrespecting your elders, and having no rules. Who taught you that?"

Ling Yue was unhappy, her face darkened, and she said: "We can't hide this pregnancy. My belly will still be deflated in a few months. Let's see where the third aunt puts her face!"

Mrs. Sun yelled: "What do you mean by your four brothers running against me like this? Don't you just want my child's father to die so that the fourth son can enjoy happiness at home?!"

Dong Youyin said angrily: "Okay! I'll go! I'll go!"

With tears in his eyes, Shiro grabbed his hand and said, "Dad, I'm going. When I grow up, I can do many things and kill enemies. I'm going!"

Old Man Dong said impatiently: "Okay, if someone must go, let Dalang and Si'er go!"

Erlang said: "The eldest brother is the eldest son of our eldest family. He wants to provide for his parents in their old age. Let me go!"

Dalang punched him on the shoulder and said: "You are only twelve, and I won't accept you! Stay at home, respect my grandparents and parents for me, and take good care of Sanya."

Higashikata's eyes were red and he said: "Dad, the elder man hasn't married yet, let me go!"

Old Man Dong said: "You are so honest, I didn't even know you were sold! Let Dalang go, he is smart, and Si'er will protect him."

"Da Lang! Mother's son!" Mrs. Li hugged him and cried out of breath.

Mrs. Qian wiped her tears with her palms and cursed: "Why are you crying! It's not time to cry yet, maybe if Si'er sees Rong Chuan, Rong Chuan will exempt us from military service. He is a good boy!"

Mrs. Li was so frightened that she stopped crying, but her shoulders were still twitching and she wiped her tears with the sleeves of her cotton-padded jacket.

The second aunt, Mrs. He, also burst into tears. The oldest of her grandchildren was only ten years old. There was no need to shirk it. She had to go to both Dongdahe and Dongdashan. Mrs. He was an unemployed widow and shamelessly relied on her elder brother's family.

I just raised two children, and now I see them going to the battlefield but I can’t do anything about it, and I cried several times.

Crying could be heard from many shacks, but few were quarreling or scolding. After escaping from famine all the way, everyone knew who had the best ability to survive. Besides, everyone had fought countless times and had seen bloodshed.

Yes, things are coming to an end, and I am no longer very afraid of going to the battlefield.



Dongming Ziyu and Shuan Zhu rode all the way and arrived at Fengcheng in the evening. They found an inn to stay, washed up, and changed into a new pair of fine cotton shorts.

This is the most decent clothing for people in the village, so as not to make people look like beggars.

The two asked the people at the inn for the direction of Prince Chen's Mansion, and then left the inn. But they didn't go far before they learned that during the war, the curfew was set early at night, and people were not allowed to walk on the street after the curfew.

Yes, the two of them came back, ate two bowls of noodles, and then rested.

Early the next morning, the two of them inquired and walked all the way to find Prince Chen's Mansion.

Shuan Zhu looked at the tall white marble archway in front of him, his eyes full of shock, and whispered: "Fourth brother, this whole street is Prince Chen's palace?"

Dongming Ziyu nodded, "This is the fiefdom of Prince Chen. He is the boss of this land. The palace built by Prince Chen should be more impressive than the Prince Chen's Palace in the capital."

Shuan Zhu was a little nervous, "Hey, there are so many magnificent courtyards, how many people are there? Can we go in? Don't arrest us."

Dongming Ziyu said: "We are already here, so I have to give it a try."

The two walked in and saw two steps-like stones on both sides of the road. Shuan Zhu went over to look at them curiously and asked in a low voice: "What are these? The patterns on them are really pretty."

Dongming Ziyu said: "The horse-mounting stone and the horse-dismounting stone are the stones that the horse steps on when mounting and dismounting."

Shuan Zhu clicked his tongue, "Tsk, rich and powerful people are very particular."

"Hey! You! What are you doing sneakily?" A group of patrolling soldiers came over and looked at the two of them carefully.

This voice was so powerful that Shuan Zhu was startled, but he instinctively stood in front of Dongming Ziyu: "We, we are looking for someone!"

He prides himself on being ruthless, thick-skinned and courageous, and he was so frightened that he couldn't even speak.

Dongming Ziyu turned his eyes slightly, took out the jade plaque given to him by Rong Chuan, and said: "We are looking for the second son of Prince Chen. This is the token he gave us."

The little leader who led the patrol took the token and looked at it carefully, looked at them up and down, and said suspiciously: "You didn't steal it, right?"

Shuan Zhu's face showed anger.

Dongming Ziyu stopped him from talking and said, "If we stole it, how dare we come here to cheat?"

The little boss looked at him with disdain, sneered, and said: "You can't go here! Go around the back street to the corner door! There will be a concierge to pass the message to you!"

With that said, he threw the jade token to Dongming Ziyu.

Dongming Ziyu caught the jade token and left with Shuan Zhu. He also knew that given their status, they should go through the corner gate, so they hadn't found the corner gate yet.

Turning into the alley, Shuan Zhu looked back and didn't see the group of soldiers coming, so he breathed a long sigh of relief, spat at the back, and cursed in a low voice: "It's really a dog fighting against the power of a human! Why do they have it?"

Look down on people! What an attitude!”

Dongming Ziyu walked calmly and said calmly: "Youdao is the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister, let alone the palace? The watchdogs in the palace are more noble than ordinary dogs."

Shuan Zhu was a little dissatisfied, but had to admit it.

Prince Chen's Mansion is very large. It took half a day to burn incense before I saw a magnificent gate.

Shuan Zhu asked: "Is that the corner gate?"
