Li Changpu had been resting at home for less than a week when he suddenly received news that the Suo Kingdom was causing trouble on the border, so he hurried to the office building.

When Li Zheng saw Li Changpu, his expression was a little unnatural, and he called out as he did before, "Captain Li."

Li Changpu was anxious to understand the situation, so he waved his hand and asked, "What's the situation now?"

The officers in the office were all hot-blooded men. They pounded their fists on the desks and started swearing.

"The foreign devils in Somalia are too dishonest. We just signed a treaty of friendship with them, and they turned around and deliberately caused trouble."

"Several border residents were injured with sticks."

Everyone paced anxiously in the office, waiting for orders from their superiors, and finally, the phone rang.

The superiors ordered to strengthen border security and immediately retaliate if physical conflicts occurred.

Chazipo and Senqin Island are very close, so elite troops were drawn from here to guard and patrol.

Li Changpu looked extremely anxious, as he was supposed to lead the troops to guard the island, but he was still under suspension and observation and could not do anything.

He strongly requested to lead the troops. After all, those were the soldiers he led and he was more familiar with the team. However, this request was rejected. He Zhihai was also very busy and had no time to talk about these things.

Li Zheng took over Li Changpu's position, so he led the elite troops to set off. Everyone saluted and saw off the soldiers who were about to set off.

In such occasions, everyone has a solemn expression on their face.

Li Zheng was about to set off. His eyes were determined, his body was straight, he saluted neatly, then turned and left, rushing to his battlefield.

At this critical moment, Li Changpu could do nothing. He felt heavy in his heart and could only simulate the sand table over and over again, waiting for news.

The same thing happened to several officers who did not receive the order to be transferred. They stayed up for several nights in the office, but there was no more news from the front.

But the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly.

Li Changpu sat on the chair with his coat covering himself. There was a piece of dry steamed bread on the table that he had taken a few bites of. He hadn't even gone home in the past few days and had been eating and sleeping in the office.

He had just closed his eyes and dozed off for a while, but before he fell asleep, the intercom at his desk rang.

The jingling sound was abrupt and sharp in the silent night.

Everyone's heart was pounding as the person on the other end of the phone brought bad news.

The Somali soldiers made a serious provocation. They fired at the patrol team on Sen Tan Island with submachine guns, causing casualties on our side.

We fought back and armed conflict broke out between the two countries.

Everyone in Chazipo could still hear the sound of war coming from not far away. Jiang Tingxia stood in the yard looking at the direction where the shells came from. The sun that had not yet set dyed the sky blood red. She was worried about Li Changpu. There was no news of him since he left home a few days ago.

Jiang Tingxia placed his hand on his heart and prayed that Li Changpu would be safe and come back soon.

Zhang Hongxiang was also standing in the yard, looking into the distance with a worried look on her face. She kept muttering, "There's a war."

Hearing this, Jiang Tingxia felt confused.

The artillery fire in the distance was always intermittent, and Jiang Tingxia was worried to death when he heard it.

Finally, Li Changpu came back. There were red bloodshot eyes and blue stubble on his chin. It was obvious that he had not gotten enough rest.

Jiang Tingxia pulled him aside to ask about the situation and learned that he had been in the office building for the past few days. She was about to scold him, asking why he didn't come back or send a message to his family when the distance was so short.

But then I heard Li Changpu say, "Tingxia, I'm going to the battlefield."

When Jiang Tingxia heard the news, his brain buzzed and he stood there in a daze.

She could hear the sound of gunfire these days, so one could imagine how dangerous the front line was.

Jiang Tingxia shook her head instantly, "No."

She was so anxious that she pulled Li Changpu's arm and said, "It's too dangerous. I don't want you to go."

Li Changpu frowned when she heard this. Fortunately, she was at home and no one else heard it. Li Changpu said to Jin Xiaowen, "Xiaowen, take your brother and sister out. I have something to say to your aunt."

Jin Xiaowen took Jin Xiaobao and Jin Xiaoyu out, leaving Jiang Tingxia and Li Changpu alone in the room.

Li Changpu had already opened the box and took out his bag.

Seeing him like this, Jiang Tingxia asked hurriedly, "When are you leaving?"

Li Changpu took out two pieces of clothing from his bag and said, "In two hours."

Two hours! Jiang Tingxia stretched out her hand and pressed on Li Changpu's bag, not allowing him to pack his luggage anymore, "Don't go!"

Li Changpu looked at Jiang Tingxia's childish temper and felt helpless. "Tingxia, I'm a soldier."

Jiang Tingxia was a little emotional, "Then don't join the army. You've been suspended anyway."

She said, "You should quit your job now. I have a lot of money and I can support you."

"Nonsense!" Li Changpu scolded her subconsciously.

Jiang Tingxia felt a little aggrieved after being yelled at by him. She was already in a bad mood, and she stared at Li Changpu with tears in her eyes.

Li Changpu also realized that his tone was a bit harsh, but he simply could not accept what Jiang Tingxia said.

He is a soldier, and it is his duty to defend his country, but Jiang Tingxia called him a deserter and a coward. What he could not accept the most was that at this time she would actually link all this to money.

Wearing this military uniform, he has his honor, responsibility and mission.

Saying this is unfair to those comrades who sacrificed their lives.

In particular, Li Changpu thought of the wounded soldiers and Li Zheng. There were destructive weapons such as tanks and armored vehicles on the battlefield ahead, which was very dangerous. On the second day of the war, he fell under a shell.

Li Changpu looked at Jiang Tingxia with a stern face and said nothing.

"I'm worried about you!"

Jiang Tingxia cried and accused, her tears as big as pearls.

About to go to the battlefield, where guns are blind, Li Changpu looked at Jiang Tingxia in tears and his heart ached. He was afraid of leaving her alone.

Li Changpu pulled the towel off the basin rack and wiped Jiang Tingxia's face. "Don't worry, just stay at home. I'll be back soon."

At this time, Jiang Tingxia was not angry with him. Seeing that he couldn't be stopped, he just said, "Promise."

Li Changpu touched Jiang Tingxia's face with his big hand, reluctantly saying, "I promise you."

"You have to come back soon," Jiang Tingxia's eyes were full of worry, her tears blurred her vision. She reached out and stroked Li Changpu's face. At this moment, she even forgot to dislike the stubble on his face.

Li Changpu calmed her down and said, "I will."

Jiang Tingxia looked at Li Changpu and seemed to have made up his mind.

She choked with tears, pushed Li Changpu back, and said, "Sit down."
