After the failed attempt to pretend to be dead, the sickly child was favored by the treacherous mini

The fire in the east was extinguished, but a fire started in the west. The fire in the east, which was set by bandits, was not brought under control until the fourth day after Tian Ding left the east.

In an open space more than ten miles away from the harbor, there are sparks stretching for dozens of feet and still emitting hot steam.

The soldiers in charge of making and extinguishing fires were holding hoes and shovels, and in the cover of night, they shoveled up the baked and cracked soil to bury the charcoal fires.

All the scrap timber produced by the fifty warships parked at the harbor was consumed in this breakout battle.

The night was deep, and the sea breeze in the distance blew out the bright moon that was obscured by dark clouds.

There were loud gongs and drums in the front. The deputy general of the Tiger Army was inspecting the troops on the spot, selecting 30,000 soldiers from the 80,000 soldiers to go on the expedition to East Japan.

Han Shu and Han Zhou walked slowly side by side along the long and narrow coastline, their eyes fixed on the vast mountains and sea that could not even be obscured by the night.

I stretched out my hand and brushed through the thorny bushes, looked up at the waves favored by the moonlight, and heard the shouts coming back from the shore in my ears.

After being in the Eastern Territory for so long, this was the first time that Han Zhou and Han Shu enjoyed the vastness and tranquility of the sea breeze.

"Azhou, this mountain and river is so beautiful."

Han Zhou stopped and opened his arms to embrace the moving sea breeze. The four seasons of the East Territory appeared one by one before Han Zhou's eyes.

"The sunset is vast, the sunrise is high, and even the seagulls flying in the afterglow are much more majestic than the birds in the capital."

Looking up at the starry night sky, Han Zhou asked again: "Do you think my mother has taken a good look at this beautiful scenery?"

The days passed so long that no matter how good Han Zhou's memory was, he could not remember his mother who left him forever when he could no longer walk steadily.

Han Zhou almost forgot the feeling of being hugged by his mother.

Maybe it is a bit like the sea breeze in the East, warm, gentle, and able to accommodate everything, yet able to overcome all harm with softness.

Han Shu patted Han Zhou's head: "Azhou, we will see."

"Yes." Han Zhou nodded heavily: "Sister, when you see it, remember to tell mother and draw it for her."

“Speak about everything you see, and draw everything you see.”

Han Zhou might have to go to accompany his mother first. He hopes that he can benefit from his mother's influence and fulfill the wish that he could not fulfill in this life through Han Shu's writing in another world.

One hand crawled towards Han Zhou's head and patted Han Zhou until he was a little dazed: "What do you mean you you you? We are together, silly Ah Zhou."

Han Zhou smiled with tears in his eyes, as pure and clean as the prince riding a horse and holding a gun on his way home in Luoan City.

He turned around and took out the wooden box on the horse's back: "Here are two hundred thousand taels of silver notes for emergency use. Yang Huai said that silver notes are not popular overseas, so I put a lot of gold in your bedroom on the warship."

"If it's not all spent, when you return victorious, it will be the dowry I prepare for my sister."

"Yang Huai and I prepared all the food and supplies on the ship. Five of the thirty warships are used to transport supplies. In order to prevent emergencies, I have prepared life-saving food in the secret cabins of each warship."

……

Han Shu just stared at Han Zhou as he instructed her in detail. As she listened, Han Shu began to cry.

The younger brother who used to run behind her has now grown taller than her and has learned to protect her behind him.

She tiptoed and patted Han Zhou's head gently: "When I return from the battle, I will prepare a generous betrothal gift for you so that you can marry your sweetheart."

Such detailed preparations must not have been made urgently after the fire.

Han Shu looked up and met Han Zhou's gaze, and asked in an extremely gentle voice, "What happened after you returned to Shendu?"

Han Zhou smiled bitterly. Xie Nanxing had already thought of the excuse for him.

"Master died at the hands of Shen Jinmo. Judging from the imperial edict sent by Tian Ding, Shen Jinmo must have advocated not letting the Tiger Army go on an expedition in order to make money for the emperor."

"Sister, the national hatred, family feud and father's safety are all in your hands."

"The little brat has grown up. He is now old enough to hide everything from his sister."

Her younger brother knew very early on that they could only fight this battle on their own, and they could only avenge this blood feud on their own, and the person sitting on the throne would never be their way of retreat.

Under tremendous pressure, her younger brother hid enough military pay to support an expedition of 30,000 Tiger Army soldiers!

Han Zhou opened his arms towards Han Shu and gave her a solid hug: "Sister, don't be afraid, I'm always here."

"Do your best to delay the day of returning to the capital. When you get back, take good care of your father. Don't fight for the moment. When I return victorious, everything will be resolved."

Han Shu took the wooden box handed over by Han Zhou, and at the same time took over all the burdens of defending the country.

The difficulty of returning to the capital is certainly not as great as the danger of the expedition to Eastern Japan.

With Han Zhou around, if Han Shu unfortunately died on the way across the ocean, Han Zhou would definitely be able to take the remaining twenty warships to protect the mountains and rivers and avenge the blood feud.

Battle flags were fluttering in the sky ahead, fifty warships were like tigers descending from the mountains, and the thirty thousand Tiger Power Army was like the ferocious hairs on the tiger's brows, showing their ferocity and readiness to strike.

Behind Han Zhou, the 20,000-strong Tiger Army vanguard led by Han Zhou were also ready to go.

These 20,000 people were not heading to the same destination as Han Shu.

Han Shu frowned and looked up, asking silently.

"Sister, you must remember that we only brought 30 warships and 30,000 Tiger Force soldiers on this expedition."

So, there is no second chance.

This battle can only be won, not lost.

"Azhou, what are you doing?"

Not wanting Han Shu to go to the battle with worries, Han Zhou smiled and leaned over to whisper in Han Shu's ear: "Sister, I promise one person that when the Tiger Army moves out to the east, I will leave 20 warships and 20,000 Tiger Army soldiers behind."

"Since I've said such a big thing, Sister must not let me reveal the truth."

Han Zhou directly drew the long sword from his waist for Han Shu, knelt on one knee and handed it to Han Shu. After Han Zhou, the 50,000 Tiger Power Army knelt on the ground in surrender.

The war drums sounded, and Han Zhou said, "General Han, it's time to go to war."

With a solemn look, he took the sword from Han Zhou's hand. The blade cut his palm and blood seeped into the liquor.

Han Shu raised the wine jug high towards the bright moon, half of the wine went into the soil to pay tribute to the mountains and rivers, and the other half went into her stomach to pay tribute to the warriors.

The wine jug smashed on the embankment, and Han Shu leaped onto the cabin holding the commander's flag. The battle flag returned to its place, and the long sword pointed directly at the Eastern Japanese.

"This battle is for the mountains and rivers, for the people, and to avenge the shame of our Tiger Army in the past."

"In this battle, I will not return until I have defeated the Eastern Japanese."

"We must win this battle."

The aroma of wine was tinged with heroism, and the repeated shouts of "we must win" made the waves in the east more ferocious.

Thirty warships left the port. Han Zhou kept staring at Han Shu's back until he could no longer see Han Shu's face, and then he withdrew his gaze.
