People in Aurora are determined to fight chaos

"Young Master, do you really want Miss Wei to follow us?" Zu Ju looked at Wei Junxiu who was changing clothes and was about to say something, but Liu Li seemed indifferent and didn't even try to stop her.

As Liu Li put on Yu Yong's armor, he turned around and said, "Aunt, you know I'm not very good at persuading people."

The wide armor didn't fit Liu Li well at all. Seeing this, Zu Ju hurriedly helped Liu Li put it on.

The Yuyong armor was made according to the average height of an adult in Zhendan. Zu Ju had no choice but to remove the neck and crotch guards of the armor, leaving only the part that protected the torso.

Seeing this, Liu Li twisted her body and shook her arms. After she felt that her movement space was not restricted, she breathed a sigh of relief: "Not bad, very close to my body."

"Young master, please don't move. I will put the wrist guard on you." Although Zu Ju was polite, he did not hold back. He grabbed Liu Li's wrist and put the wrist guard on.

"I'll go help Miss Wei." Seeing that Wei Junxiu was also in a difficult situation, Zu Ju hurriedly left Liu Li and helped Wei Junxiu get dressed.

Compared to the shorter Liu Li, Wei Junxiu dressed much more casually.

Seeing Zu Ju serving the two of them while looking depressed, Liu Li chuckled and secretly walked behind Zu Ju while Wei Junxiu left the room.

"Young master, if you want to help me put on my armor, there is no need to do so." Zu Ju noticed Liu Li's footsteps and couldn't help but sigh.

Seeing that her thoughts were exposed, Liu Li coughed lightly, and then said softly: "Aunt, I'm here to apologize."

"Apologize? Why?" Zu Ju was stunned for a moment. After thinking for a long time, she still didn't know what Liu Li was talking about. "I don't remember what the young master did wrong..."

Liu Li scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said softly, "It was that time with Haiqi... I took the initiative to ask you to take them away. Although it seemed right at the time, I didn't consider my aunt's feelings at that time... So... I think I should apologize to my aunt..."

“……” Zu Ju didn’t know how to answer for a moment. She just slowed down the movement of lifting the hair beside her ears, pursed her red lips, and looked sideways at an unknown place. The fingers that were tying her hair into a bun seemed to have gone into slow motion, rubbing her hair, feeling a little at a loss.

Liu Li was standing behind her. She was sitting on a chair, and from that angle one could just see her pink neck, her smooth chin, and a hint of red lips.

"What Uncle Yuanbo said is very true..." Liu Li took a deep breath and said seriously, "I should trust others more. A person who acts recklessly will not have a good result..."

Zu Ju: “…”

Liu Li took another breath and spoke more seriously: "So I want Grandma to be by my side, like a pair of tacit... um... partners. In the future, I will treat Grandma as a real soldier, ask for your opinion, and then decide whether to go or not... um... although it sounds a bit weird, I sincerely hope to establish this relationship with Grandma, and become each other's trustworthy companions, or partners... just... fight Chaos together, and stop the End of the World or something... how about it?"

At the end of the conversation, Liu Li's heart almost jumped out of her throat. She looked at the back of Zu Ju's head in panic. The other party seemed to have completely stopped moving, and even her breathing had slowed down a lot.

One breath...

Two breaths...

Three breaths...

Liu Li felt every second seemed like an eternity, but she didn't dare to look away.

"Hmph—" Zu Ju suddenly snorted with a mixture of anger and laughter, frightening Liu Li so much that he quickly looked away and looked at the ceiling.

“Young Master…” Zu Ju’s tone was as calm as water, as if there was no ripple at all. “The position of a military officer is not a position to interfere with the commander’s behavior, but when the commander wants to do something, the military officer can always come up with the best solution. This is what a military officer should do…”

"Ahem, I see..." Liu Li coughed awkwardly, "Then what about the request just now..."

Zu Ju smiled after hearing this and said in a leisurely tone, "How can I not agree to your request, young master?"

"Okay!" Liu Li bowed excitedly, "Thank you, auntie."

Zu Ju pursed her lips and chuckled silently. Her hands moved as skillfully as before and in no time she had tied her scattered hair into a bun that was easy to tie.

When the two walked out of the room, Zhao Song and Wei Junxiu, both dressed in military uniforms, had been waiting for a long time.

"It's almost midnight." Zhao Song glanced at the torches that were quickly gathering towards the city gate. They were the Yuyong cavalry who were gathering.

"Okay." Liu Li sorted out his chaotic thoughts, got on his horse and said, "Let's go!"

After a while.

The city gate.

The four men covered their faces and approached where the cavalry gathered.

Seeing the four people acting strangely, the leading Yuyong cavalryman quickly stopped them and asked in a deep voice, "Password."

Liu Li and Zhao Song exchanged a glance, and the latter replied softly, "Eliminate evil and eliminate bandits."

"Pass! Join the team!"

The four of them entered the team in silence, only to find that a considerable number of Yuyong cavalry had gathered here. At a glance, there were about three hundred of them.

"It will be midnight in a quarter of an hour. Pay attention to your respective reconnaissance targets. The fighting in Chilei is intense, and night reconnaissance will become the norm!" The man who looked like an officer gave a solemn speech, "In order to ensure the safety of the army's back, you must go deep into the dangerous area and don't miss any grass that blows in the wind! In the wilderness, you may encounter the enemy at any time, but as a scout, there is one thing you must remember! No matter what, try to stay alive and bring back intelligence, this is the most important thing!"

"Okay, let's go in order!"

"Yes!"

Hearing the officer's order, everyone responded in unison, then pulled the reins, and the three hundred riders galloped into the darkness outside the city.

"Let's keep up." Liu Li whispered, his palms sweating slightly as he held the torch tightly. This was an instinctive reaction to the darkness like thick ink outside Changyuan.

"Yeah." The three of them were also a little uneasy, but this was not the time to retreat, so they quickly rode their horses and followed Liu Li.

The darkness was like a boundless black sea. To say that you couldn't see your hand in front of you was the simplest way to describe it. Between heaven and earth, all people could see were the shadows cast by the torches as they rushed forward.

This cavalry of about 300 people was like food entering the mouth of a giant beast. They disappeared from the officers' sight in an instant, leaving only darkness as dark as ink, as if the 300 people had never appeared.

The four of them didn't dare to breathe, they just followed the team on horseback.

An hour later.

The team of 300 people was divided into two, one team went towards the direction of the Skeleton Foundry, and the other team went straight to Chilei. Each person's reconnaissance target was different, but the goal was exactly the same - to ensure the safety of the army behind.

Because of Tao He's secret guidance, Liu Li was not worried about going in the wrong direction. He only needed to follow the team and rush all the way to reach the junction of the roads, the pass leading from the eastern grassland to the red soil wasteland.

As long as you pass through that pass, you can reach Chilei directly, and in half a day you can see Fu Yuanshan’s main camp!
