If you keep making noise, I won’t stand it anymore!

The overall layout of Liujia Village is typical of the north, with one main street and two secondary streets running from north to south, connecting hundreds of households together.

These days when she has nothing to do, Meixiang likes to stroll back and forth on these three streets, and then sit among Liu Bo's saplings on the back hill and daydream.

That evening, Situ Yidong, who had just rushed back from the military camp, found Meixiang in the bushes on the back hill, looking in the direction of Liujia Village, wondering what she was thinking.

"Sister Xiang'er, what are you looking at?" Situ Yidun couldn't help but ask after following Meixiang's direction and looking at her for a long time without making any sense.

"Ah?!" Meixiang let out a low cry when her train of thought was interrupted. After coming to her senses, she glared at him coquettishly, then turned her head and continued to look at the small mountain village shrouded in curling smoke under the setting sun, quiet and peaceful.

This is the place where she was born and raised. Especially after going through the tribulation, everyone has invested so much effort in the people, things and objects here that it has finally developed into what it is now.

However, this peace will soon be broken by the impending war, and Liuzhou Prefecture, which has finally regained some vitality, will be plunged into the smoke of gunpowder again.

Thinking of this, Meixiang couldn't help but feel an indescribable heartache.

"For the sake of the ambitions of those in power, innocent people are dragged into dire straits. I just want to take a good look at this land before the war comes." Meixiang spoke slowly, with a hint of sadness in her tone.

Situ Yidun sat with her in the grass on the hillside. They had been busy with the military camp these days and it felt like they hadn't sat down and chatted like this for a long time. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but curse in her heart, "Damn Yin Country!"

Meixiang was sensitive enough to notice that the person sitting next to her suddenly became fierce, and she couldn't help but turn her head to look over, "What's wrong? What happened?"

"No, it's nothing. Don't worry, Sister Xiang'er, we will protect this homeland together. I will never let the people of Yin country set foot in Liuzhou Prefecture!"

Looking at the boy in front of her who could not even be called a man, and hearing his decisive voice echoing in her ears, Meixiang's eyes couldn't help but become moist.

It was not just Situ Yidong. When they knew that the war was about to come, Chu Zeming, Feng Yizheng, Sun Yu... no one backed down, and no one proposed to leave Liuzhou Prefecture. Instead, they were all actively participating in preparations for war.

Although on the surface she looked calm and confident of victory, in fact... Meixiang's heart suddenly surged with pride and a sense of security. The anxiety that had been weighing on her heart for many days finally had a place to go.

Everyone was cheering each other up, and she had no reason not to give up. She had to have confidence and believe that they could win this battle. At the same time, she knew that everyone in Liuzhou Prefecture and even the Golden Palace in the capital were watching her, so she couldn't give up easily.

Meixiang took a deep breath, tilted her head slightly towards Situ Yidong, and whispered about her troubles and arrangements over the past few days, "Brother Situ, I don't know how to fight this battle, but we have been preparing for this for so long, and we will never give up easily."

"But what I am most concerned about is my mother and the children of the Liu family. If any of them gets into an accident, we cannot afford it."

Situ Yidong's eyes instantly lit up with surprise when he heard this. He had seen Meixiang's abnormality and fear during this period. After all, she was only a little girl in her teens. With such a heavy burden on her shoulders, it was rare for her not to collapse emotionally.

He was anxious, but he was too busy recently. He finally took some time out today and rushed back. If Meixiang continued in this state, he would be driven crazy if Meixiang didn't go crazy.

Now seeing Meixiang talking to him about her concerns and worries, inadvertently revealing her weakness, he felt distressed but also relieved.

"I think Brother Situ Shi has also thought about this problem, right?" Meixiang has discovered that the number of soldiers patrolling Liujia Village has been more frequent than usual recently.

Situ Yidun nodded. This was also a question he had been thinking about recently. The whereabouts of Meixiang and her daughter were no longer a secret throughout Haoyue. Liuzhou Prefecture was one of the front lines of this war, which made him have the same concerns as Meixiang.

"Sister Xiang'er, are you really not considering sending your wife away? And you yourself..." Situ Yidun looked at Meixiang several times, and finally couldn't help but ask.

"I have also discussed this with my mother. She insisted on staying here. Besides, I am worried about sending her back to the capital now." Meixiang said softly while looking in the direction of Liu's mansion.

Then he tilted his head towards Situ Yidong and lowered his voice even more: "Remember the cave where we rescued Bai Lang?"

"What do you mean?" Situ Yidong's pupils suddenly contracted.

Meixiang sat up straight and nodded gently. This was a risky move, a move that should not be made unless it was absolutely necessary. Although the people in Liu's mansion were very popular with animals, and Baihen and the others were smarter, they were still animals after all, and sending the beautiful woman there was undoubtedly like sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth.

"This is my last trump card."

Situ Yidong tilted his head and looked at his girl. He felt a surge of pride in his heart, and he asked himself if he could be as good as Meixiang.

Well, such an excellent girl is his! Situ Yidong's mood now is like green tea after the second brew, stretching and rippling in the boiling water.

That night, Situ Yidong received a handwritten letter from his father.

At this time, everyone was sitting at the conference table drinking tea, including Master Ou, Old Man Luo and Mr. Luo.

This is a new rule that was established after the Chinese New Year this year. Whenever Chu Zeming, Feng Yizheng or the four gentlemen return to the Liu Mansion in advance, they will invite the three of them together so that they can discuss anything together.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Situ Yidong. At this critical juncture, any news would seem extremely eye-catching.

Situ Yidong quickly finished reading the letter in his hand, thought for a moment, and handed the letter to Meixiang beside him, "It's a letter from my father, explaining the arrangements for this reinforcement."

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this. Nothing could make them more excited and happy than the word "reinforcement". Although they had tried their best to make thorough preparations, the battlefield was a battle of manpower, and sufficient troops were one of the guarantees for winning the war.

"Miss, the mayor and the captain of Xuanzhou and Suzhou prefectures want to see you." At this time, the mistress who was standing at the door of the main hall hurriedly walked behind Meixiang and reported quietly.

Meixiang's eyes lit up as she was reading the letter. This was really good news. She quickly finished reading the letter in her hand and handed it to Feng Yizhen while instructing Xiaosan, "Please invite them in quickly, and ask Aunt Li to prepare some food."
