After walking for about ten days or half a month, we were still halfway to the capital.

At this time, Su Yunluo found that he met more and more fleeing people along the way!

When we first asked, the refugees all said they came from the border.

There was a war at home, so we had to flee to other provinces.

Later, we gradually discovered that the people fleeing were not only from the border, but also from other provinces.

Until one day, the number of people fleeing suddenly increased.

Su Yunluo pulled a group of people who looked like a family together and asked them, "Fighting with the Hu people shouldn't be a big deal. There shouldn't be so many refugees, right?"

"How could it not be? Our soldiers were beaten to a pulp and completely routed!"

"How can this be?"

"The other side has a giant turtle. People hiding inside it are indestructible, and it can spit bombs from its mouth. It rushes around recklessly, which is amazing! Forget about fighting, we can't even get close to it!"

"Big turtle?" Su Yunluo didn't know what it was.

But the refugees' descriptions reminded her of tanks.

"Yes. Not only that, the enemy also has birds that can fly in the sky. The birds can drop bombs, whoosh whoosh whoosh, and fly directly onto the city wall and blow it up. Our country had firearms at the time, which was already very powerful. But I didn't expect that compared with the enemy, it was like a small demon meeting a big demon. There was no way to resist!"

"I see. Thank you."

After understanding the situation, Su Yunluo decided not to go to Beijing and went directly to the border.

At the same time, he wrote a letter to the emperor overnight, asking him not to worry, to postpone the attack, and to preserve his strength. He would dig plank roads, lay mines, and set traps along the way to lure the enemy deep into the city and fight street battles, and he would rush there as quickly as possible.

Considering the need for a quick march, there was no way to take care of Shi Liu on the way, so Su Yunluo asked Shi Liu to find a place to stay first, and he would come to pick her up when she returned from the battle.

Shi Liu refused to agree: "Madam, I will go wherever you go. You don't have to worry about me. I can definitely keep up with you."

There was no choice, Su Yunluo had to take her with him.

Abandon the carriage and ride on horseback.

It was quite unexpected. Shi Liu had never ridden a horse before, but he had a natural talent and learned very quickly.

After getting used to the road for a while, I was able to ride it quite well.

Even Seventeen and Eighteen couldn't help but look at her differently.

"Miss Pomegranate, you are amazing!"

Pomegranate was so praised that she felt shy: "No, no, I learned everything from you. When I was on the road, I watched your horse riding postures and movements, and then I remembered them slowly."

"Look at us riding horses?" Eighteen looked puzzled.

Shi Liu was afraid of being misunderstood, so she quickly explained, "It's like this, I've loved horses since I was a child. My mother said it was because I fell into the water when I was a child, and was rescued by a horse by the river by biting its collar. Since then, I've loved horses. But my family was poor, so we never raised a horse, let alone rode one. I often dream that I have my own horse."

"If you like it, the horse you are riding will be given to you." Su Yunluo said generously.

"Really?" Shi Liu was overjoyed, then shook her head: "This... This won't do. I have already received great favors from Madam, I can't ask for anything from Madam anymore."

"It's okay. I'll give it to you if I say so. Besides, it's lucky for the horse to meet an owner who truly loves it. Don't refuse."

"Thank you, ma'am. Thank you." Shi Liu didn't know what to say to express her excitement and gratitude, so she could only keep saying thank you.

More than ten days later, Su Yunluo and his three companions finally arrived at the brink of war between the two countries.

The sounds of various hot weapons filled the air.

Before dark, they found their army's base.

Identify yourself and send someone in to report.

Not long after, a man in a handsome robe strode out and shouted excitedly: "Mother, is it really you?"

When Su Yunluo saw the third brother, he was also stunned.

"Jinbao? Why is it you?"

Wang Jinbao scratched his head awkwardly and chuckled, "I have no choice but to accept the order in a time of crisis. Mother, Seventeenth Uncle, Eighteenth Uncle, let's go inside and talk."

Enter the account and sit down.

Wang Jinbao personally poured tea for Su Yunluo and others.

Su Yunluo had a lot of questions to ask, but he knew there was no need to rush, so he took the tea his son poured for him, gulped it down, wiped his mouth and said, "Okay, now can you tell me what's going on?"

Wang Jinbao looked around vigilantly, then sighed and said, "The emperor is ill and cannot attend court. As a last resort, we can only summon my second brother to the palace to handle affairs for the emperor. My eldest brother needs to avoid suspicion and cannot go to the battle. Then they let me be the commander-in-chief! Originally, they were going to let my second brother go to the battle!"

The emperor is ill at this time, which is not a good thing!

No wonder the third brother spoke so cautiously just now!

"This should be the best arrangement!" Su Yunluo said.

Wang Jinbao said he was under a lot of pressure: "Mother, to be honest, I haven't had a good night's sleep since I left the capital."

"Well, then what?" Su Yunluo asked calmly.

Wang Jinbao originally wanted to complain to his mother and act like a spoiled child, but the other party's calm reaction made him confused.

"What then?"

"I mean, what else? Apart from not sleeping well, are there any other symptoms?" Su Yunluo explained patiently.

Wang Jinbao thought about it, then shook his head: "That's not the case anymore."

"Not bad, not bad. This is your first time leading troops to fight, and you were ordered to do so in a time of crisis. You just didn't sleep well, which shows that you have a very good mentality, far better than ordinary people. In addition, you have read so many books I found for you, both ancient and modern, both Chinese and foreign. So, you don't have to doubt it. Apart from your elder and second brothers, you are the best candidate for this battle! There are so many people in the court, and no one is more suitable than you!"

"Really?"

"When have I ever lied to you?"

"That's true." In fact, Wang Jinbao was not too worried.

After all, the eldest and second brothers are so powerful, and although he is a little weaker, he is still very capable of fighting!

You may be last at home but first outside!

He chose to do business instead of a career in politics, not because he was incapable, but because he preferred to do business and make money!

But after hearing what his mother said, Wang Jinbao felt more at ease!

"Tell me what the current situation is like." After the greetings, Su Yunluo started to talk about business.

Wang Jinbao opened the map and pointed to five cities on it.

"Here, here, here, everything has fallen."

Seventeen frowned: "So many were lost?"

Wang Jinbao nodded: "Originally, we lost seven seats, but I have already regained two."

Seventeen: "Who was the commander before? So incompetent?"

"You can't blame them, they are just too strong! By the way, mother, let me show you something." After Wang Jinbao said this, he ordered someone to bring something in.
