Women disguised as men went to the battlefield and the emperor bowed down in submission.

Meanwhile, in the bustling city of Xiangling...

A massive earthquake struck without warning. The ground shook violently, as if an enraged beast had awakened underground.

The buildings in the city, whether towering towers, solemn temples, or ordinary houses, all creaked and groaned as they shook violently.

Bricks and stones on the city wall fell off one after another, stone slabs on the street were broken into pieces, and dust and rubble flew everywhere.

As the tremors intensified, some dilapidated buildings began to collapse, emitting deafening roars.

Flames burst forth from the collapsed roof beams and spread rapidly, illuminating the faces of panicked people as children cried out, searching for their loved ones.

The once bustling streets were now in chaos as people scrambled to escape, and stampedes occurred frequently.

The air was thick with dust and the smell of burning, making it suffocating.

The aftershocks of the earthquake continued to reverberate, each tremor sending chills down people's spines, as if the hand of death had already reached out to the city.

In this disaster, the prosperity and order of Xiangling City were completely destroyed.

The once magnificent buildings are now in ruins, and the shops and stalls on the streets have disappeared without a trace.

Dark clouds gathered above Xiangling City, as if the heavens themselves were weeping for this land.

The earth trembled, people's hearts trembled, the whole city trembled, as if it would be swallowed up by an earthquake at any moment.

After the earthquake, Xiangling City was in ruins, and its former prosperity was gone.

The once towering buildings and shops along the streets are now ruins, with rubble and stones scattered all over the ground.

The air was thick with dust and the smell of burning, making people instinctively cover their noses.

On the city wall, bricks and stones crumbled.

In some places, the city walls have even collapsed completely, revealing wide gaps.

Most of the houses in the city were also damaged to varying degrees, with some roofs collapsing and exposing the beams and tiles inside.

Some houses have cracked walls and are in danger of collapsing at any time.

The earthquake also severely damaged the water supply and drainage systems of Xiangling City.

Many wells and ponds have dried up, while some underground waterways have overflowed due to blockages.

This has led to extremely poor drinking water and sanitation conditions for the people.

When the First Army of the World arrived in Xiangling City, Lin Ruoshui and the others were filled with sorrow upon seeing what they saw.

Baili Heng unfolded the map and said, "Xiangling City has been reduced to ruins. Today we will pass through Xiangling City and reach Wushang City for supplies within two days."

Lin Ruoshui looked at the tragic scene before her, her heart filled with grief.

She understood that at this moment, she could not remain indifferent or sit idly by.

The people were plunged into deep despair. Standing on the ruins, they witnessed the destruction of their homes, their hearts filled with helplessness and fear.

When they heard that an army was coming, their faces did not show joy, but rather were filled with suspicion and distrust.

"Will someone come to rescue us?" the people murmured among themselves, their faces filled with distrust.

In their view, the court was cold and ruthless, and often only cared about its own interests. Who would really help them?

"Don't be naive, don't count on those people," someone sneered. "They'll only take the opportunity to rob us; they won't genuinely help us."

This distrust spread among the people; they preferred to believe the world was cruel rather than believe anyone would come to their aid.

They picked up tools and began to try to save themselves, attempting to find survivors and food in the ruins.

However, just when they were about to give up hope, the world's number one army of two million entered the city and came to their side.

Despite the danger and their fatigue, they immediately launched a rescue operation.

They demonstrated their sincerity and determination through their actions, rekindling the flame of hope in the people.

"Look, they've really come!" someone exclaimed in surprise. "They've really come to help us!" "It's actually the Chu army helping us!"

The people couldn't believe their eyes. "Weren't they here to attack us? Why are they helping us?"

An old man said, "This is a righteous army!"

Lin Ruoshui, Xiu Yi, Baili Heng, Yun Mo, Ouyang Xuri, and Ling Ye personally participated in the earthquake rescue work.

They set aside their usual distinguished status, put on coarse clothes, and went deep into the disaster area to fight alongside the people.

Together they dug through the rubble, searched for survivors, and comforted the affected people, stabilizing their hearts and minds.

At the same time, Lin Ruoshui also organized the construction of temporary shelters to provide refuge for homeless disaster victims.

The soldiers built makeshift shelters using tents and cloth to try to keep the disaster victims warm on cold nights.

In addition, the First Army of the World was also responsible for maintaining order and preventing disaster victims from looting supplies and causing riots.

During the rescue operation, the "Number One Army Under Heaven" demonstrated remarkable perseverance and selfless dedication.

They disregarded their own safety and provided timely assistance to the people in the disaster area.

Despite limited rescue resources, the rapid response and effective measures of the "Number One Army in the World" played a crucial role in mitigating the impact of the earthquake disaster.

After several days of hard work, the rescue operation is progressing smoothly.

Countless survivors were rescued, the wounded received timely medical treatment, and the affected people gradually emerged from the shadow of the disaster.

The military and civilians are united as one, facing challenges together and working hard to rebuild their homes.

The deeds of the world's number one army in fighting earthquakes and helping people in a foreign land were spread throughout Longquan Kingdom by the people who admired and appreciated them.

In no time, the reputation of the number one army in the world of Longquan Kingdom rose rapidly.

The people praised them not only as a powerful armed force, but also as a team full of justice and benevolence.

Their deeds have been passed down through the ages in Longquan Kingdom, becoming a model for future generations to learn from.

Afterwards, Lin Ruoshui rewarded those who had contributed to the victory. At the commendation ceremony, she said, "The spirit of our benevolent and righteous army is not only a military ideology, but also a humanistic spirit. War is not the goal; protecting the people and upholding justice are the true missions of the army."

A month later, new buildings will rise from the ruins, and Xiangling City will once again be full of vitality.

Xiu Yi and Lin Ruoshui stood atop a newly built tower.

Xiu Yi hugged Lin Ruoshui and said, "You've lost weight!"

Lin Ruoshui hugged Xiuyi tightly and said, "You've lost weight too. Thank you, Xiuyi, thank you for helping the people, and thank you for always being by my side."

Xiu Yi said, "You did a great job. It is your wish to help those people affected by the disaster, and it is also my wish."

Lin Ruoshui wrapped her arms around Xiu Yi's neck, her eyes sparkling like a galaxy. She gently kissed Xiu Yi's forehead and said, "The post-disaster reconstruction is now complete. Let's set off in the next few days."

Xiu Yi saw his own reflection in Lin Ruoshui's clear, beautiful eyes, and he said, "I missed you."

Lin Ruoshui said shyly, "We're together every day, so you're saying you miss me?"

Xiu Yi kissed her eyes and said, "Yes, even though we are so close, my longing for you has not diminished at all."

Lin Ruoshui said, "Xiuyi, thank you for your love..."

Xiu Yi placed his finger on her lips and said, "Don't say thank you anymore. I'm willing to do anything for you, even my life."

Tears welled up in Lin Ruoshui's eyes, and in the blink of an eye, they dripped onto Xiu Yi's fingers.

Xiuyi didn't say anything more, but instead kissed her eyebrows and eyes.

The next day, Lin Ruoshui woke up and sneezed loudly.

Xiuyi said, "Could it be that you caught a cold yesterday?"

Lin Ruoshui glared at her and said irritably, "Standing on the tower for an hour, it's no wonder you caught a cold."

Xiu Yi apologized repeatedly and went to the kitchen to personally brew ginger soup.

Ling Ye knocked on Lin Ruoshui's door. Lin Ruoshui let him in. He noticed that Lin Ruoshui's nose was slightly red and tiny beads of sweat were seeping from the sides of her nose. She was gently wiping away the snot that kept flowing from her nose with a handkerchief.

Ling Ye handed her a clean handkerchief and hot water, asking, "Brother Ying, have you caught a cold?"

Lin Ruoshui said, "Yes, I caught a chill yesterday from the cold wind."

Ling Ye said, "Hmph, you and Xiu Yi were busy on the tower for an hour, weren't you?"

Lin Ruoshui thought to herself, "How did he know we were on the tower...? Was he following me?"

Ling Ye said without moving his lips, "I can hear your thoughts. Xiu Yi has gone too far. Does he know how to cherish women? Does he know how to take care of women?"

I wasn't following you; I went out looking for you and accidentally bumped into the two of you, so I just watched the show from a short distance away.

Lin Ruoshui glared at Ling Ye, feeling both embarrassed and angry. She thought to herself, "You bumped into me and instead of leaving, you're still admiring me. You're such a jerk."

Ling Ye continued, "If you dare to do it, why wouldn't I dare to watch?"

Lin Ruoshui couldn't help but exclaim, "Then you know I'm a woman?"

Ling Ye's lips remained still, but his voice clearly reached Lin Ruoshui's ears, uttering each word: "I knew it all along!"

"When did you find out? Tell me quickly!" Lin Ruoshui said anxiously.

Ling Ye smiled mischievously and said, "A long time ago, in..."

Lin Ruoshui, her appetite whetted, said, "Tell me quickly!"

Ling Ye got up and ran, laughing as he said, "I'm not telling you!"

Lin Ruoshui rushed out the door barefoot, wanting to grab Ling Ye and get some answers.

Unexpectedly, they bumped into Xiu Yi, who was carrying a bowl and about to enter. Xiu Yi, holding the bowl in one hand and putting her arm around Lin Ruoshui with the other, asked, "What's wrong?"

Lin Ruoshui said, "Ling Ye actually knows I'm a woman."

Xiu Yi was startled and asked, "When did you find out?"

Lin Ruoshui said, "He didn't say, I need to go and find out."

Xiuyi carried her back into the house with one arm and said, "Drink the ginger soup first, I'll go ask."

Lin Ruoshui thought to herself, "If you go and ask, we'll probably end up fighting."

Lin Ruoshui said, "Forget it, you don't need to go either. I'll ask him later. He saw us on the tower yesterday..."

Xiu Yi looked slightly embarrassed and asked, "Was he there at the time?"

Lin Ruoshui said, "That's what he just said."

Xiu Yi clenched his fists, ready to settle accounts with him, but Lin Ruoshui stopped him as soon as he stood up.

Lin Ruoshui said, "Let's discuss this further. If you go, won't even more people know about this?"

Xiu Yi thought about it and agreed. He didn't move, but his eyes flashed with murderous intent.

Lin Ruoshui said, "It's not time for him to die yet. I want him to make a pistol and teach another group of people..."

Xiu Yi said, "I understand."

After saying that, he took a sip of ginger soup and fed it to Lin Ruoshui.

Lin Ruoshui expressed that she could not accept this abnormal way of drinking soup, medicine, and ginger water.

Lin Ruoshui said, "Aren't you afraid I'll give you my cold if you feed me this?"

Xiu Yi said, "If you're in pain, I'll be in pain with you."

Lin Ruoshui threw herself into his arms, acting coquettishly, and Xiu Yi's heart melted like spring water.

Just then, Yunmo knocked on the door at an inopportune moment.
