After being wrongly married, I stabbed my husband to death and became famous throughout the world.

After several major battles following the onset of winter, the army suffered heavy casualties and morale plummeted.

At this moment, Chen Yousong was huddled in his tent, looking melancholy.

His shoulder was bandaged, but compared to other soldiers, his arrow wound was not serious, so he didn't waste medicine at the army doctor's, and just treated it himself.

He felt he was quite lucky. During the few days when the temperature dropped, his wife, who had been thinking about saving up for their daughter's dowry, sent him two new cotton-padded coats. Soldiers like him, who had family members who cared about them, had a better chance of survival than others. It was just a pity that he wasn't very capable. Even though he was being very careful, he still got injured.

Chen Yousong was not afraid of death. His family had been military households for generations, and he had known since childhood that he would only die on the battlefield. The only reason he numbly persisted was for his son.

Every extra day I live means my son can spend another day on the battlefield.

"Chen Yousong?" He was thinking about home when someone came to call him. "Doctor Cheng wants to see you."

"Dr. Cheng? Which Dr. Cheng?"

"It's that Doctor Cheng who's with General Rong," the other person added.

Chen Yousong was somewhat surprised. He was just a lowly soldier; how could he possibly have the opportunity to come into contact with those generals? Lieutenant Ma was already the highest-ranking officer above him, and as for Doctor Cheng…

He knew that the doctor was not originally from their area. He was said to be a famous doctor from the capital who had come specifically to follow General Rong. He usually treated people above him, so he was not one of them.

He was somewhat puzzled, but dared not refuse, so he dressed properly and immediately went to Cheng Mian's tent.

Cheng Mian glanced at the simple-looking man and looked at the wound on his shoulder, then frowned: "Who bandaged this wound? It looks terrible. What kind of medicine did they use?"

"Huh?" Chen Yousong was taken aback. "It's a minor injury, I didn't put any medicine on it... I bandaged it myself."

"How can that be? Our army isn't that short of medicine yet. Aren't you just being ridiculous!" Cheng Mian was genuinely angry. "Come sit down here, let me treat your wound again."

"..." Chen Yousong's face turned a little red.

He couldn't understand why Dr. Cheng was being so kind!

“I know the situation at the front isn’t great lately, but you can’t be so despondent and neglect your health. Think about your families.” Cheng Mian said, pointing to the basket next to him as he worked. “Take all of these things. They were specially sent to you by Miss Ali. But you should share them with your comrades in the same camp. Don’t eat them all by yourself, or you’ll incur resentment.”

"Ah Li!?" Chen Yousong was shocked. "Has Doctor Cheng seen her before?"

“I ran into her a few days ago when she was serving her sentence in the mountains with her father,” Cheng Mian said truthfully.

However, Chen Yousong panicked: "Imprisonment? My family didn't say anything... Why am I imprisoned... No, Dr. Cheng, is my niece doing alright on the mountain? You don't know, her father is unreliable. She's definitely not having a good time on the mountain. No, I have to ask for leave to go see her, I..."

"Don't worry." Seeing how nervous this person was, Cheng Mian couldn't help but feel a bit of goodwill towards him.

The uncle and nephew genuinely care for each other.

He immediately had the old doctor who delivered the message explain the situation, and only then did Chen Yousong learn that the Li couple had both died.

He found it sudden and strange.

As if the heavens could no longer bear to see it, they directly took away the lives of Li Chutian and his wife!

As a relative, Chen Yousong wanted to express his basic condolences, but he found that he couldn't!

He even felt genuinely happy, thinking that Ali's life would be better without her father and stepmother!

No, that's not right either, she has two younger brothers...

But what was the reason that the Li couple were imprisoned?

Chen Yousong was completely confused, but he knew that his family hadn't told him because they were afraid he would worry. Now that he knew some of the details, he was determined to write a letter home and ask them about it!

Cheng Mian simply handed over the things Li Shu had sent to him and then let him leave.

However, after Chen Yousong left, Cheng Mian felt more and more sorry for Li Shu.

Soldiers with minor injuries like Chen Yousong are not entitled to rest. Thinking of Li Shu's lonely and helpless state, Cheng Mian sighed and went to find his good brother.

He initially wanted to transfer Chen Yousong to the supply camp to tend the fire, but then felt it wasn't quite right.

They ultimately decided to bring the man to stand guard outside their own tent.

Chen Yousong was unaware of these minor details. He only knew that he hadn't finished eating when he was relieved of his post, and that Captain Ma had even come to give him a briefing.

"Although Cheng Mian is just a doctor, I've heard that his family has quite a bit of influence and his reputation and status are not low. Even several generals treat him with great respect. It's not bad that you've been transferred to work by his side, even if it's just guarding the camp. I heard that Doctor Cheng himself brought this up. You two... know each other?" Captain Ma asked, looking at the honest-looking man in front of him.

Chen Yousong was unaware that Li Shu's wrong marriage was a deliberate scheme, so he still respected Captain Ma.

But since the two families could no longer arrange a marriage, Chen Yousong felt it was inappropriate to mention his niece in front of him.

He wanted to avoid giving the impression that he was helping his niece feign pitifulness and trying to gain the Ma family's sympathy.

So he thought about it carefully and simply said, "My family sent some food for me, and it was left with Doctor Wang. When I went to get it, I happened to run into Doctor Cheng. He saw that I was injured and took some care of me out of pity..."

"I see..." Captain Ma smiled and patted Chen Yousong on the shoulder. "Since you'll be working for Doctor Cheng from now on, you'll probably see General Rong quite often. I might even need your help someday..."

"What are you saying? How could I possibly be worthy of your help?" Chen Yousong said hurriedly, feeling very nervous.

For some reason, he felt that Captain Ma seemed to have changed a little.

When he had just saved Captain Ma's life, he truly felt how much the other man valued him. He would pay attention to Captain Ma's situation from time to time and even have heart-to-heart talks with him from time to time.

They both have sons, and their conversations always revolve around their children.

But after I returned from my last leave, Captain Ma's enthusiasm waned.

"You've met Cheng Ting before, haven't you?" Captain Ma said with a smile. "The border situation is unstable right now, but it's the perfect time to hone his skills. That's why I recently enlisted him. He's still young, unlike us. As his father, I have to think about his future, so I went to great lengths to get him into the Po Shan Army. But out of the three thousand elite soldiers in the Po Shan Army, only a very few can rise to the top. I hope he can be like General Rong, achieving great things at such a young age..."

Chen Yousong listened, somewhat bewildered, but roughly understood.

Although this is a period of hardship, it is also an opportunity to make a difference.

The Broken Mountain Army is an elite force with a small number of soldiers. Anyone who wants to join must go through layers of selection before they can become a member. And now, General Xiao Rong is the vanguard general of the Broken Mountain Army...

Does Captain Ma think he can get a word in with General Rong?

How is that possible!

He was just there to guard the door for Doctor Cheng!
