Why was this happening? Since she was still not dead in that world, why was she here?

What does the creator of this world want to do?

When the sky was already bright, Bai Zhi sighed and got up to wash her face.

No matter what, she can’t do anything about it, she could only understand things one by one.

After going to the front yard, she noticed that the horse that was supposed to be tied under the tree was not there. She went to close Hu Changlin who was drying peanuts in the yard and asked: “Hu Bo, where is the horse?”

Hu Changlin looked up at her and smiled. “Hu Feng went out, he said he needed to do something. The sun haven’s rise when he left. I asked him what he wanted to do, but he didn’t say anything.”

Bai Zhi simply said ‘Mmm’, and didn’t say anything. But inside her heart, she was a little worried. Hu Feng had been riding alone outside, she doesn’t know what he was doing.

No matter what it is, she only hoped for him to be safe and not encounter danger.

“Changlin are you there?” Village Chief Li asked. When he got close to the yard, he saw Hu Changlin, so he simply pushed open the gate and came in.

Hu Changlin stopped the work in his hand and smiled at Village Chief Li: “What are you doing here? Did you have breakfast? If you haven’t eaten, just eat here.”

Village Chief waved his hand: “I already ate, I’m here to discuss something with you.”

Hu Changlin patted away the soil on his palm and asked: “What is it that you need to run all the way here.”

Village Chief Li went close to Hu Changlin and patted him on the shoulder, then calmly said: “Changlin, you must have also heard about it. There is a heated war again on the border. The court had sent a large army to give support. But the fire hasn’t been put out. Such a large army, it will take some time before they arrived at the border. So the imperial court sent out a decree, to gather 3000 men in the nearby towns to serve as soldiers. We need to gather 800 men in Qingyuan Town. Each village has a designated number of men to be sent. We need to send 30 men in our village, aging 16 to 40. If one is willing to join, they will get silvers as a reward. Changlin, I know you and Hu Feng is not short on money. But all the people who can participate in this village already join in, we still lack 3 people. Hu Feng knows martial arts, even if he goes to the battlefield, he will surely survive. So can you talk to Hu Feng to join the army?”

Hu Changlin’s face drastically changed, his face looked very ugly. He already regarded Hu Feng as his son. Which father can bear to ask his son to join the army? No one knows what will happen on the battlefield, so how can he be willing?

Seeing Hu Changlin’s face, Village Chief Li said: “This is a volunteer job. I will not force you. You and Hu Feng discuss it. If you really don’t want him to join, please give me a reply.”

Hu Changlin nodded his head and send Village Chief Li out.

Bai Zhi heard Village Chief Li’s words. Ask Hu Feng to join the army as a soldier?

Three years ago, what was Hu Feng’s rank in the army? He was a prince, so maybe he was at least a general, right?

Remembering what Hu Feng said, he said he joined the army at age of 13. He’s been there for 7 years. He achieved a lot of victories. His prestige to the army was very high, many people must have seen him. If he joins the army this time, won’t people recognize him?

If people recognized him, the person who wants to harm him will know that he is still alive. Then, Hu Feng will be in danger again.

Hu Feng cannot go, absolutely not.

Hu Feng didn’t come back until the sunset.

Bai Zhi was standing in the yard, she watched the dazzling man whipping the horse that was rushing towards her. She was very reluctant to move her eyes.
