C83 A Sudden Departure

0He wrapped his arms around her and hugged her tightly. Lee Wanning closed her eyes …    

    

Lee Wanning did not know why Zhou Qu suddenly became so crazy. Later on, Lee Wanning found out. Perhaps it was because he had predicted that they would part ways soon.    

    

It was unknown how much time had passed. In the end, he carried Lee Wanning up, and when she woke up, it was already morning.    

    

She slowly got up from the bed. While she was rolling up her hair and walking down, she saw Zhou Huai sitting at the table, looking at something seriously.    

    

Lee Wanning was stunned for a moment before she asked, "What are you looking at?"    

    

Hearing Lee Wanning's voice, Zhou Huai seemed to be afraid that she would see something extraordinary, so he hid the thing behind his back and said, "Nothing."    

    

Lee Wanning's brows creased as she stepped forward and asked, "What?"    

    

"There really isn't any …"    

    

Before Zhou Huai could finish his words, Lee Wanning had already snatched the thing in his hands.    

    

Upon seeing the words, Lee Wanning's expression changed.    

    

The information was on the conscription of soldiers. Right now, they were in a country called Yingjia, and they were being attacked by the Huns, so the imperial court began recruiting soldiers, not just in the people, but also in the yamen. Men between twenty and forty were required to join the army.    

    

By the time she finished reading, Lee Wanning's expression was extremely ugly. She threw the notice in her hand to the side and ran out.    

    

Lee Wanyao and Aunt Lee came at the right time, and they pulled themselves together. "You have no conscience, how can you let Zhao San join the army like this!?" If he leaves, our family will not be able to leave! "    

    

Lee Wanning ignored them. When Lee Wanyao reached out to pull her up, Lee Wanning pushed them away without hesitation.    

    

She rushed directly to the magistrate's mansion and saw that the people from the government were counting the people there. Zhou Qu was also standing among them.    

    

Lee Wanning wanted to rush over, but she was stopped by someone. She looked at the person in front of her and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Zhou Qu!"    

    

Hearing the voice, Zhou Qu turned his head and looked at his body. Lee Wanning could clearly see his pupils slightly dilate, then he went up and said something to the soldiers in front of him.    

    

The officer turned to look at Lee Wanning and nodded.    

    

Zhou Qu walked over just like that.    

    

Lee Wanning's tears were already falling down. She held Zhou Qu tightly and said, "You're leaving, right?"    

    

Zhou Qu nodded. Lee Wanning cried even harder, "Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you tell me last night?!"    

    

Zhou Qu hugged himself. His chest was still warm and powerful, but Lee Wanning could clearly feel that he was going to leave soon.    

    

This embrace no longer belonged to him.    

    

She could fearlessly say that she was protecting her family and country, but on the battlefield, blades and swords had no eyes. She was the most ordinary girl, and all she wanted was to live her life with the person she loved.    

    

"Wait for me to come back." Zhou Qu's voice sounded beside her ear. Lee Wanning continuously shook her head. He had already released himself and quickly returned to the group.    

    

However, Lee Wanning did not see Zhao San in the group.    

    

Lee Wanning didn't want to think about these things anymore. In her eyes, there was only Zhou Qu in front of her. When he followed the officer past her, Lee Wanning called out to him, then she took off the hairpin and tightly put it on Zhou Qu's hand.    

    

Zhou Qu immediately took it.    

    

When the other girls saw this, they quickly followed suit. Among them, they were not the only two people who faced the couple that had parted ways with them.    

    

However, after everyone had left, Lee Wanning was the only one left standing still on the spot.    

    

"Aa Ning."    

    

Hearing the voice, Lee Wanning turned around and saw Quan Fei looking at her, saying, "She has left."    

    

Lee Wanning wiped her face and said, "He will come back."    

    

Lee Wanning's voice was firm and even Quan Fei was stunned for a moment. Then, he slowly said, "Indeed, he will come back."    

    

Lee Wanning walked towards her house. Just as she reached the corner, she saw Aunt Lee and Lee Wanyao crying tears of joy. When Zhao San was about to report to the yamen that day, he heard the news and turned around to leave without even pausing.    

    

Thus, he was able to escape calamity.    

    

Because he was the only robust young man in the entire Li family, he didn't have to join the army.    

    

When Lee Wanning returned home, Zhou Huai was looking at her worriedly. She shook her head at him and said, "I'm fine."    

    

She didn't look all right.    

    

If Lee Wanning knew about this, she would definitely have questioned Zhou Qu why didn't he tell her last night, but there was no other way. In such a short period of time, she couldn't even bear to part with him.    

    

Lee Wanning had asked Quan Fei about it, and the magistrate had already received the news two days ago. The reason why they made such a sudden announcement today was because they were worried that someone would run away overnight, so they directly requested for mandatory enlistment into the army.    

    

Lee Wanning didn't want to know anything else. She spent two days in a daze at home, making preparations for everything in the house. It wasn't until Zhou Qu brought back the letter and heard the news that he was safe that Lee Wanning relaxed a little.    

    

Fortunately, Lee Wanning's shop was not open. Otherwise, she really didn't know how she would manage this shop, and all the young men at home had stayed, but Boss Chen's business had obviously started to decline.    

    

That was true. There were no more men in the house. Women dressed so quickly, so who was there to show them to?    

    

All along, Lee Wanning had always felt that this was a peaceful and prosperous world, and she herself had never known what it was like to be at war. But now, she finally understood what it meant to be worried about something.    

    

The Huns came menacingly, and the people on top of the imperial government were all panic-stricken. There were no generals that could make a move, so, in a short period of time, the powerful nation of Yingjia was being forced to retreat step by step.    

    

Every day, there would be people coming down from the top and pasting the names of those who had sacrificed their lives. Every time, Lee Wanning would not dare to look because when she got close, she would hear a lot of ghostly wails.    

    

She was afraid she wouldn't be able to take it.    

    

And no news was the best news.    

    

At this time, the border was filled with the flames of war. No one knew when the Huns would come over, nor did anyone know if they would be able to see the sun tomorrow.    

    

Zhou Qu was sitting next to the fire, chewing on a steamed bun in the barracks. It was very hard and didn't have any taste, but it was enough to fill his stomach.    

    

He slowly took out the hairpin from his bosom. No matter how dirty or clean his hands were, he had to wipe them a few times before taking them out.    

    

His eyes scrutinized the patterns on it, as if he was looking at someone who was looking at him with a smile.    

    

Zhou Qu closed his eyes. Someone beside him said, "Brother Zhou, you miss your wife?"    

    

Zhou Qu turned around, glanced at him and nodded.    

    

That person smiled and said, "That's great. You've already married your wife, but I haven't married yet. I don't even know what it's like to be a woman for the rest of my life. If I die like this, then it really is …"    

    

He didn't say anything, Zhou Qu knew what he meant, but he didn't say anything.    

    

That man said, "Yesterday, I saw you killing your enemies very fiercely! "Even better than our crappy general. And I heard that you didn't agree to retreat back then, so he had to retreat. Weren't you before …"    

    

"Nope." Zhou Qu said almost immediately. Perhaps it was because he answered too quickly, that person's expression immediately changed. Then, Zhou Qu slowly said, "I was a mountain villager before. I don't know anything."    

    

"Oh." That person replied. At that moment, a loud shout could be heard. Both of their faces changed. When they stood up, they saw a dense crowd of soldiers approaching them.    

    

"Hurry, hurry and inform the general!" Zhou Qu pushed the person beside him, who seemed to have just reacted, and stumbled towards the tent at the back.    

    

After Zhou Qu and the other people on duty raised their torches to inform the others, they directly charged up and started to fight.    

    

When the person finally arrived at the general's tent, he saw the general hugging two women and drinking wine and singing. He immediately said, "General … General, the enemy is here! "    

    

Hearing this, the general's expression changed, and he immediately pushed the person in his arms away. When he ran out to take a look, he discovered that the entire camp was surrounded.    

    

Without even thinking, he directly said, "Retreat!"    

    

"General, Big Brother Zhou and the others are still in front!"    

    

"Let them fight with the others there, let's retreat!"    

    

The surrounding people were all stunned. It was said that this general was the son of one of the ministers of the imperial court. After arriving here, he didn't fight at all and kept retreating.    

    

Seeing that many of the people present had not moved, the general mounted his horse and said, "Brother in front, hold on. Brother in the back, follow me!"    

    

The moment Zhou Qu heard this voice, his expression changed.
