Wutong scratched his head: "Are they going to transfer us? But what about Yuemen Pass? And I heard them talking about the flood the whole time."

Lieutenant Li sighed: "That's right. The Prince was appointed by the court to manage the floods of the Dingjiang River, but he was not given any soldiers or food. He had to prepare everything for the disaster relief himself. If the relief efforts are not in place, the Prince's reputation may be damaged. They must have come for this reason."

Wutong gasped, "Does everyone have to be transferred there?"

Lieutenant Li said, "The transfer will be made, but how it will be done is still unknown. We'll see how things go."

Wutong nodded, then looked at Abudo and the two messengers again, feeling quite uneasy.

Just when we were finally enjoying a peaceful life, the troop deployment means we'll be on the go again.

The hardships she endured on her last trip from southern Xinjiang to Yuemen Pass were still fresh in her mind; she had no intention of becoming a blood bag for Cao Bizi again.

After chatting for a while, Abuduo made a decision: "I will send three thousand men with you, and the rest will stay here to guard the Moon Gate Pass."

The messenger said, "No problem, thank you for your generosity, General."

Abudo asked, "I wonder where His Highness intends for us to go to rescue?"

The messenger said, "Manpower has been deployed to most parts of southern Xinjiang. If we go further... we should be transferred to the Central Plains, such as Kunzhou and Yangzhou, which are the hardest-hit areas."

Queensland? Isn't that where Zhoujia Village is located?

Wutong's interest was immediately piqued, and she listened even more attentively.

Abdo frowned and said, "Does the Central Plains also need our help? Doesn't the imperial court know how to manage its own affairs?"

The messenger smiled wryly, "The imperial court has deployed all its troops to the border regions, so there's no room for maneuver. However, I've heard that once we arrive there, they will send some officials skilled in water management to help. All we need to do is contribute our efforts."

Abudo nodded: "Alright, have you all eaten? If not, stay and join us. I'll let them set off after we've counted everyone."

The messenger said gratefully, "Thank you... but I wonder who the general intends to send to lead the troops?"

Who will lead the troops? Abdo only has one deputy general left under his command, so without much hesitation, he pointed directly to Lieutenant Li.

"You're the one. Go out there and do a good job. Don't embarrass me."

Lieutenant Li rose and stepped forward, kneeling on one knee and clasping his hands in a fist salute: "This humble general will certainly not fail in his mission!"

Wutong looked at his retreating figure with envy, feeling an urge to rush up and volunteer.

It's possible to go to the Central Plains, and it's very likely that it will pass through Kunzhou.

Back when we were in Zhoujiacun, there was a large dam right next to us. If we were to go to manage the floods, we would very likely pass through Zhoujiacun.

In this way, she and Ruolan can meet!

It had been quite some time since they parted ways, and Wutong missed her terribly. The red cloth had been hidden in the cabinet for a long time, and she was eager to give it to her.

However, she dared not act too recklessly in front of the messenger, so she patiently waited until everyone had finished eating before secretly finding Abdo.

"General...General!"

She stood in the corner and found Abudo when he came out to urinate.

Abdo instinctively fastened the belt he had just loosened and asked, "What is it?"

Wutong asked nervously, "Can I also go and help control the floods?"

Abdo looked at her in surprise: "Are you sure? This is hardly better than fighting a war."

Wutong nodded: "Mm."

Abudo was silent for a moment, then said, "Tell me the reason. Is it because of what happened last time that you want to leave me?"

He held Wutong's shoulder and felt that the other person was so thin that he was just a skeleton, and that he could crush him with a little force.

"Wutong, I will never do that kind of thing again."

Wutong was somewhat surprised because the incident of Abuduo forcing her to take off her pants had been largely forgotten due to the sudden battle, and she herself hadn't taken it to heart, but Abuduo was still bothered by it.

She pushed his hand away, shook her head, and said, "No, I've just been away from home for too long and wanted to go back to see my sister on the way."

Abdo asked earnestly, "Will you come back later?"

Wutong said, "Of course, my sister is already married. The army is my home now. Where else would I go if I didn't go home?"

Abuduo smiled, pulled off her hat, and ruffled her short hair: "Alright then, I'll allow you to lead troops with Lieutenant Li. Remember, don't let your mind wander off out there. I've taught you so much, and you haven't even repaid me yet."

Wutong nodded happily: "Definitely!"

Abudo went back to his room, and Wutong happily walked towards her own room.

She could almost feel the shape and strength of Abdo's hand above her head. As she walked, her steps suddenly slowed down, and she covered her mouth in surprise.

Abuduo's reaction just now...did he already discover something?

Did he know she was a woman?

Wutong involuntarily looked back, feeling a sense of shame that her secret had been exposed.

However, Abdo was not there; behind him was an empty courtyard.

She pressed her hand against her wildly beating heart, thinking to herself, "This can't be... If Abdo already knew, why would he still let her stay in the army?"

But his eyes and his movements clearly indicated that he knew something.

Unable to come up with a solution here, Wutong returned to her room with a heavy heart.

Nanxing was sitting on a stool sharpening his short sword. After Wutong got the bow, he gave the short sword to Nanxing.

He looked up and saw the messy hair on Wutong's head. He understood what had happened and walked over with his short sword.

Wutong snapped out of her daze and asked in surprise, "What are you going to do?"

Holding the sword so menacingly, he looked like he was about to commit murder!

Nanxing didn't answer. He pressed her down on the bed, made her sit, and tiptoed to reach her hair.

Wutong was even more alarmed: "Nanxing, what are you trying to do? Tell me or I'll get angry!"

Nanxing gripped the short sword tightly and said, "I'll cut your hair!"

To stop people from petting him all the time, it's not like he owns the dog! Why pet it? Just shave his head bald!

Wutong was startled and kept trying to cover herself with her hands, pleading, "No! My hair is already short enough!"

Nanxing said, "It's not short enough, you have to shave it all off!"

Wutong exclaimed, "What the hell! How am I supposed to face anyone now? Are you out of your mind?"

Of course I can't show my face to anyone!

Ideally, you should never show it to anyone else and just stay by his side!

Nanxing became increasingly determined. Wutong initially tried to avoid him, but later started cursing him directly, and Nanxing remained unmoved.

During the argument, Wutong's hand accidentally hit the blade, cutting a gash several centimeters long that immediately bled.

She cried out in pain, frowning and clutching her hand.

Blood seeped from between her fingers, leaving small, bright red stains on the white sheets, a shocking sight.

Nanxing was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting this. He quickly dropped the short sword and rushed over to check her hand: "How are you? Are you alright?"
