"What?"
Everyone looked at each other and looked at Lu Chen in disbelief.
Even Xiao Zhiwei panicked this time.
If the emperor had issued an imperial edict, even she would have nothing to do.
Seeing this, Lu Chen comforted him: "It's just joining the army, it's not beheading, there's nothing to be afraid of!"
"Husband, is this true?"
At this time, Jiang Yingyue also walked down the stairs with Tiantian in her arms.
After Lu Chen came back, he also greeted them.
After all, this is a big deal, and I might never come back. Everything that needs to be explained must be explained in advance.
"Daddy!"
After Lu Tiantian saw Lu Chen, she stretched out her little hands to give him a hug.
Lu Chen's heart suddenly softened when he saw his daughter's appearance.
He hugged Lu Tiantian, smelled his daughter's scent, and made up his mind.
You must come back alive.
No matter for yourself, or for the sake of your wife and daughter, you cannot die at the border.
"Shopkeeper, please take me away!"
"I will be your guard along the way."
"It's impossible for an ordinary person to touch you at all!"
Bai Fengbo was very excited and immediately stepped forward, looked at Lu Chen and said seriously.
Since ancient times, most people who were sent to the frontier would die on the way.
Lu Chen's situation is a bit complicated.
The imperial edict stated that Lu Chen was a strange person with great wisdom and ability, and was fully capable of leading the frontier to turn defeat into victory and resist the attack of the Khitan cavalry.
Then, His Majesty the Emperor issued the decree.
So whether it's for recruitment or assignment, it's very suitable.
But no matter what, it was impossible not to go.
"Old Bai, after I leave, the inn still needs someone to protect you. If you go with me, what will happen to the inn?"
He immediately turned to look at Jiang Yingyue and Lu Tiantian who were standing aside, and said with a gentle expression: "Besides, my home is here, so I need you to take more care of me!"
Bai Fengbo was speechless and had nothing to say.
"Brother Lu, let us two old guys accompany you for a trip!"
At this time, the two Xiao Zhen brothers stood up.
At present, they are probably the only ones who are most suitable to escort Lu Chen.
"no!"
Lu Chen still shook his head.
"Although Zhiwei has received the approval of Master Xiao, there is no guarantee that her husband's family will not send someone here. You two elders should stay and protect Zhiwei!"
Xiao Zhiwei burst into tears when she heard this.
"The shopkeeper..."
Lu Chen gently rubbed her head: "Don't cry!"
"I'm still waiting for you to get married. I won't die on the border easily!"
Originally, Lu Chen wanted to comfort everyone, but as soon as he said these words, the room suddenly burst into tears.
In the end, Chun Zhe couldn't stand it anymore.
"Okay, okay!"
"You still don't know Brother Lu's methods!"
"You don't believe him, I believe him!"
Then he looked at Xia Yu who was following behind him and said, "There happened to be a flower-picking thief at the border recently, and the six gates are chasing him."
"Xia Yu, I'm sending you on this mission to escort little brother Lu."
Xia Yu raised her eyebrows slightly and clasped her hands in fists: "Yes!"
At this point, everyone was relieved.
Xia Yu's strength ranks among the top three among the six door gods.
Even in the world of martial arts, he is still a top master.
With her escorting Lu Chen, everyone felt relieved.
As for what happens next, we really have to rely on Lu Chen.
After all, the military aspect has always been what the royal family cares about the most.
No matter how powerful they were, they did not dare to compete with the army.
Three days later, Lu Chen set off.
He sat in the carriage and brought only a package and dozens of taels of silver.
This is also to have insurance when going out. After all, Dafeng's national power is not strong now, and thieves are everywhere, so you should be careful.
"Everyone go back!"
Lu Chen waved his hand and said to everyone.
"Take care of yourself!"
Saying goodbye, Xia Yu pulled up the reins and rode away.
At this point, Lu Chen traveled far away from his relatives and friends for the first time.
However, the fate of this journey is unpredictable, with life and death on the line.
Jinzhou City is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains.
Relatively speaking, it is a medium to large city.
Judging from the landforms of Dafeng, Lu Chen wanted to go to the frontier, but the journey was long and full of dangers.
This journey not only has to traverse the entire hinterland of the Central Plains and the uninhabited wilderness, but in the end it is also necessary to accurately find Dafeng's army in the war-torn border to complete the enlistment.
If the court did not receive news of Dafeng's border army Lu Chen joining the army within a month, it would be a crime of disobeying the imperial edict and punishing the nine tribes.
Therefore, the time left for Lu Chen was not only not much, but also very urgent.
Moreover, the war at the border was tense. After Lu Chen left, he had to show his talents and help the border troops resist foreign enemies. Otherwise, it would be the crime of deceiving the emperor.
If it succeeds, all the credit will go to the person who recommended him.
If it fails, the blame will still be borne by myself.
Lu Chen's teeth started to itch with anger when he thought of this.
"Which prince is this He Jun studying with?"
While resting at an inn on the way, Lu Chen couldn't help but ask Xia Yu.
This He Jun is the son of Earl He Bo.
Rumor has it that he was sent to the palace as a child to study with the prince.
I just never knew which prince I was studying with.
Xia Yu, as the six-door god catcher, has been in the imperial capital all year round, so he must know some inside information.
However, to Lu Chen's surprise, Xia Yu didn't know this.
"Although I live in the imperial capital, I am busy with tasks all day long and rarely know anything about the palace."
Xia Yu is still so forthright, speaking directly and never beating around the bush.
Moreover, the way she looked at Lu Chen was very clear, not as tender as Xiao Zhiwei's, and Lu Chen didn't dare to look directly at her.
But this does not hinder Xia Yu's appreciation of Lu Chen.
"well!"
"Did you hear that?"
"There is a thief in nearby Feiyun City!"
At this time, a big man at the table next to him said in a low voice.
Next to him, another thin man looked nervous: "You just know."
"That's not a thief, it's clearly a bandit entering the city!"
"You haven't seen it. They kill everyone they see. They steal food, money, women, everything!"
"Besides, I heard that they even eat people!"
As soon as these words came out, many diners around him were frightened and fled in panic.
The waiter hurriedly chased after him, but unfortunately he was still a step too late.
"I say, guest, you can chat as much as you want, don't scare away our guests!"
The thin man was embarrassed, took out a silver coin from his pocket and put it on the table: "I'm sorry, little brother, this is my compensation!"
When the waiter saw the money, he immediately burst into laughter and said, "Sir, you can just chat!"
As he said that, the waiter in the shop was very enthusiastic about urging him to order the food.
Lu Chen and Xia Yu looked at each other and saw the fishiness in it.
However, they did not reveal it to their faces. Instead, they finished their meal hastily and then went back to their rooms to rest.
At night, Lu Chen couldn't sleep, so he was about to open the window and look at the moonlight.
The next moment, a cold light suddenly appeared and slashed towards Lu Chen's neck.
"careful!"
At this time, the door was suddenly broken open.
