The deceased is like a husband who does not want to leave day or night.

After the New Year, the Ye family, father and son, will head to the western border.

Two days before the departure, Hua Fushu found the man who was packing his bags and looked at the handsome and graceful Ye Zelin in front of him, "I want to go to the Western Territory with you."

The firm tone did not contain any hint of negotiation, but rather sounded like a decision spoken out loud.

Not surprisingly, Ye Zelin rejected her.

"No."

Hua Fushu knew that this man would refuse without hesitation. She lowered her head slightly, looking a little lost, brewing her emotions. She quickly raised her head and looked at Ye Zelin. Her almond eyes were moist and she bit her red lips gently, "I don't want to be separated from you..."

The voice was full of attachment and reluctance.

Ye Zelin knew that his wife did it on purpose, but her tearful and tender look still made him feel soft at heart, but his eyes remained firm.

He said gently, "Fushu, the battlefield is full of dangers and is too dangerous. I can't take you with me, so you should stay at home and wait for my triumphant return. I promise you that I will return to you safely and unharmed."

After three years of marriage, Hua Fushu has already figured out Ye Zelin's personality. This man sometimes likes her gentle and virtuous appearance, and sometimes likes her heroic appearance.

She quickly put away her tearful look. This man liked to put her behind him in some things, but she wanted to walk side by side with him.

"I know medical skills. I can serve as a military doctor to treat injured soldiers."

She insisted on going to the western border with Ye Zelin, firstly because she didn't want to be separated from Ye Zelin, and secondly because she wanted to contribute to the border army.

Ye Zelin held Hua Fushu's small hand tightly with his big hand, and shook his head slightly as he looked at her pretty face.

Hua Fushu certainly understood Ye Zelin's worries and concerns. She knew that he rejected her so resolutely out of consideration for his own safety.

She was not a unreasonable woman. Since he refused to take her to the Western Territory, she would not force her man.

Hua Fushu nodded obediently, "I won't go."

On the day of farewell, Ruhuan couldn't bear to leave her father and brothers and cried her heart out.

Hua Fushu was fine. It was also the first time for her to send Ye Zelin to the battle. Although she was reluctant, she would not cry like Ruhuan. She said obediently that she would wait for his triumphant return in the capital.

With a wave of the whip, several horses raised their front hooves and galloped away at lightning speed. However, in a moment, their backs could not be seen clearly.

On the way back home, Dugu Lanxi was worried that Hua Fushu was feeling bad, so she comforted her and told her to relax, saying that Ze Lin and his son would definitely return safely and victoriously.

Hua Fushu smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm fine. I just can't bear to leave."

Dugu Lanxi felt the same way. "I remember the first time I sent Yun Lu to the Western Territory, I was also very reluctant to let him go. I cried for a long time at that time. You are much better than me."

"Instead of being sentimental and sad, I'd rather do something practical. Although I can't go to the West with Zelin, I can still fight alongside him. He, my father, and my elder brother are fighting bravely on the front line, and I'm actively preparing military supplies in the rear and sending them to the front line to support them."

Hua Fushu has always been a man who does what he says. Now that he has an idea, he will naturally not just talk about it.

The next day, she went to meet the person in charge of Mei Zong's base in the capital.

Meizong's development focus has always been on Qinhuai and Jiangnan. A year ago, the Lord of Lanling City proposed that the future development of Meizong should not be limited to a specific place, but to open up a route to the Western Regions and push the development of Meizong to the Western Regions.

Aunt Honeysuckle was fully responsible for this arduous task. After more than a year, the route has now taken shape.

The person in charge of the capital base is Shen Jianjia. Before this, she was mainly responsible for the collection and transmission of intelligence within the Mei Sect. Since the Lord of Lanling City decided to build a route to the Western Regions, Shen Jianjia was transferred to the capital base.

Before Hua Fushu got married, he had frequent dealings with Shen Jianjia. The two knew each other well. After exchanging a few pleasantries, Hua Fushu went straight to the point, "Jianjia, I am planning to purchase a batch of grain and need to transport it to the western border through Meizong. Please help me organize the transport personnel."

Shen Jianjia asked, "Is the Sect Master preparing food supplies?"

Hua Fushu nodded.

Mei Zong was involved in a wide range of businesses, including rice. Hua Fushu met with several grain merchants in the prefectures near the capital and purchased a batch of grain. A few days later, the grain was shipped to the capital, and then Shen Jianjia sent people to transport it to the western border.

The journey from Beijing to the western border was too long and time-consuming. Hua Fushu wanted to shorten the transportation time and planned to purchase another batch of grain in Xijing.

Shen Jianjia is in charge of many things in the Western Border. Hua Fushu instructed Shen Jianjia to contact the rice merchants in Xijing.

While purchasing food, Hua Fushu was also preparing a batch of high-quality medicinal materials. She had previously done business with Wan Dongjia in Kaihua County, and she purchased a large amount of medicinal materials directly from Wan Dongjia. Wan Dongjia was enthusiastic and said that he could help her send the medicinal materials to the Western Border. Hua Fushu did not refuse Wan Dongjia and thanked him for his help.

When the first batch of food and grass arrived at the western border, the Western Xia general Mi captured the powerful general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and Mo Zangyun led an army of 10,000 to attack Pingqin Pass!

Pingqin Pass is a small city, located 30 miles north of Yumen Pass, but its geographical location is no less important than Yumen Pass. It is easy to enter the Song Dynasty from Pingqin Pass, but it is difficult to enter Xixia from Pingqin Pass, so the defense of Pingqin Pass is relatively weak.

Mi Jun predicted this when he captured the Eastern Jin Dynasty, so he decisively gave up Yumen Pass and chose to attack the weakly defended Pingqin Pass.

The Western Xia army led by Mo Zangyun came with great force and launched a fierce attack, while the garrison at Pingqin Pass was less than 5,000 men. Although the soldiers were brave and fearless and fought desperately, they were ultimately outnumbered.

However, in just half a day, Pingqin Pass fell.

Ganzhou military camp, the central military tent.

Ye Shiheng was wearing black armor and holding the battle report that had just been delivered. He was shocked when he saw the contents of the report. He thought that Western Xia would directly attack Yumen Pass, but he did not expect that Western Xia would take the opportunity to attack Pingqin Pass, which had the weakest defense.

"Somebody come!"

As Ye Shiheng's voice fell, a soldier in armor walked in from outside the tent and bowed, saying, "General!"

"Call General Liang, General Lu, the two Generals Ye, Deputy General Jin, and Captain Ye Songyan to come over to discuss this matter."

The soldier received the order.

Soon, General Liang Shi, General Lu, the Ye Zelin brothers and others arrived at the central military tent.
