On such a winter night, after a day of training, the other barracks were pitch black and the soldiers were immersed in their deep sleep.

In one of the barracks, a faint light shone out.

A young man in silver armor was sitting upright at the desk with a sword flat on the desk.

The young man held an imperial edict between his hands.

After he finished watching, his sword eyebrows frowned slightly, sat there silently, with thoughts in his eyes.

"General Luo, what are your Majesty's instructions?" A deputy general leaned forward to inquire.

Luo Fengtang looked up at the subordinate in front of him, and put the imperial edict in his hand aside.

"The Emperor summoned me to return to the court to discuss matters tomorrow." He said in a deep voice.

The deputy general raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Could it be that there is another chaos in the north? I want to call the general, you go back and discuss the battle together?"

Luo Fengtang said: "Your Majesty just asked me to return to Beijing quickly, and did not mention the dispatch of the war, perhaps just for inquiries."

The deputy general said: "General, our army is Your Majesty's killer weapon. What are you doing to take us to train day and night in this mountain valley this year?"

"Isn't it just to send our sharp swords out when the war in the north is in a hurry, and to drive the gang of rebels from the Liao Dynasty back to the northern desert!"

Luo Fengtang frowned and said nothing.

Over the past year, the army of the Great Liao Dynasty has repeatedly harassed the border of the Great Qi, and the people of the Great Qi are in trouble and suffer indescribable ways.

The Emperor of the Great Qi ruled the world with benevolence and righteousness. In addition, he experienced wars and experienced the sufferings of the people in his early years. Therefore, he could not fight without fighting.

So, several groups of envoys were sent to Daliao to try to negotiate.

However, the Liao Dynasty's attitude was extremely vague. While negotiating perfunctorily, it also sent small-scale troops to disturb the people near the border.

Snatch the food of the people of Daqi, chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep.

"Maybe it's going to go to war." Luo Fengtang said suddenly after thinking for a while.

"That's great. I've been looking forward to this day for a long time. My brothers are the same. I'll just wait for this day to hit the rebels of the Liao Dynasty!" The deputy general said excitedly, his face flushed under the light.

Luo Fengtang nodded.

As a soldier, it is his duty to defend his country.

This completely closed, almost devilish year of training, the only belief is to fight back the enemy and defend the country on the day of leaving the seclusion.

Only by protecting this country can you fulfill your own small family.

He was looking forward to going to the battle.

only……

He raised his head and looked out the dark night outside the window.

In the letter from home ten days ago, he and Qing'er made a promise to go back this year for the Chinese New Year.

Once this war starts, the return date will not be decided.

Moreover, as the coach of this elite soldier, there is a great possibility of going to war.

Since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness have been difficult to achieve both loyalty and righteousness. It is the end of the year. Qing'er, baby, mother, uncle...

I might be ashamed of you again...

...

Luo Fengtang set off in the middle of the night and returned to the capital, with only a deputy general who accompanied him.

When it was dawn, he arrived at the capital and waited at the gate of the palace.

At this time, Emperor Qi had just gotten up from the warm quilt of a concubine in the harem, and was being served by a group of eunuchs and palace maids, washing up and preparing to go to the morning court.

Outside the Meridian Gate, Luo Fengtang was standing in the cold wind, looking into the direction of the palace, calming down and waiting.

Not far away, the deputy general led the two horses, waiting for the Meridian Gate to open with excitement.

As time passed by little by little, court officials came to court one after another.

A caravan came creaking, or a number of luxurious carriages came.

They stopped one after another in the open place outside the door, waiting.

Luo Fengtang had almost no intersection with others except the second prince Qi Xingchen, the Grand Secretary Zhang of Huagai Palace and Mu Zichuan.

He adhered to his original intention and joined the army to defend his country. This family and country naturally included his own small family.

Promotion is to make yourself stronger and become a protective umbrella for your wife, children and elders at home.

"Oh, isn't this the famous General Luo Fengtang and Luo?"

Behind him, a man's voice came.

Luo Fengtang turned around and saw that the person who came was a middle-aged man in court uniform. His face was red, his lips were thick, but his eyes were small.

As Luo Fengtang turned around, the middle-aged man grinned. This smile made Luo Fengtang feel the first feeling that he was "unfriendly".

"I'm Luo Fengtang. How dare you ask the master for his honorary name?" Luo Fengtang clasped his fists and responded calmly out of demeanor.

The middle-aged man was holding his hands behind his back, only smiling but not responding positively.

"It's still early this day, General Luo has been waiting here. I think it was Xingye who came from the West Mountain?" he asked again.

Luo Fengtang had already put down his fists, turned around, and then stared at the door ahead.

The middle-aged man did not show any shame because of Luo Fengtang's disobedience. He slowly walked to Luo Fengtang.

"This time the emperor urgently summoned him, it should be a matter in the north. General Luo is young and capable, and he controls his troops like a god."

"With General Luo here, our Daqi will surely be able to maintain stability and prosperity!"

After saying this, he looked at Luo Fengtang meaningfully.

Just then, the time has come, and the Meridian Gate is slowly opening.

The middle-aged man turned around and entered the Meridian Gate calmly.

Luo Fengtang stood there with his brows frowned slightly.

At this time, someone came to him and patted his shoulder.

"Brother Feng Tang, have you been recalled too?" the visitor asked in surprise.

When Luo Fengtang saw that the person coming was Mu Zichuan.

"Well, the imperial edict I received last night, Your Majesty asked me to come back to attend the morning court, saying that there were important matters to discuss." Luo Fengtang said truthfully.

In front of Mu Zichuan, Luo Fengtang took off a lot of defense.

Mu Zichuan nodded, "Yes."

"The two countries will confront each other and will not be killed."

"However, this time the Great Liao killed the envoy of the Great Qi whom His Majesty sent to negotiate, and this matter completely declared the breakdown of the peace talks." Mu Zichuan said.

"What?" Luo Fengtang was furious, "There is such a thing?"

Mu Zichuan nodded, "Yes, so Your Majesty was furious and urgently summoned all the civil and military ministers of the court to discuss the plan. Today is not the day to go to court..."

Luo Fengtang's brows became tighter and tighter, and his fists also changed and clenched.

"It seems that this battle is inevitable, and it is time to confront each other head-on, so that they can see the power of my soldiers in the Great Qi!" Luo Fengtang said in a deep voice.

Mu Zichuan nodded, with the same anger on his face.

"Feng Tang, I have a feeling that you are very likely to be sent to the north to fight. How can you refuse at that time? Have you thought about whether you have any words?" Mu Zichuan asked again.

Luo Fengtang looked at Mu Zichuan with a little surprise: "Why should I shirk it?"

Mu Zichuan was stunned, "You haven't seen Qing'er and the child for more than a year. It's almost the Chinese New Year, are you going to the battlefield?"
