"Did you hear that? Did you hear that?"

"Even Father said so!" Looking at her childish face, Jiang Wenfeng smiled helplessly. He reached out, pulled her into his arms, and pinched her little face.

"Big Brother was wrong, all right?"

"Then… will Big Brother still scold Second Brother later?" Jiang Wenfeng slightly shook his head. These years, he and his father had been busy earning money to support the family and cultivating martial arts. The matter of educating the younger brothers and sisters had always been helped along by Jiang Wenyan. The thoughts in his bones were still not as open-minded as his father's. The three chatted and laughed all the way, and soon arrived at the entrance of the martial arts school.

Jiang Wenfeng jumped off the cart first, then carried his younger sister down and took the basket of peaches into the martial arts school. The little girl ran ahead and very quickly saw Huang Lingxiu, who was instructing disciples on the training ground.

"Sister!" Hearing the call, Huang Lingxiu turned around. Seeing Jiang Wenping, her face instantly bloomed like a flower. She squatted down and picked her up in one motion.

"Little girl, did your big brother come?" After kissing her little cheek, Huang Lingxiu raised her head and looked into the distance. The little girl was somewhat unhappy and used her small hands to turn Huang Lingxiu's face back.

"Sister, look at me. I missed you too!" Huang Lingxiu was amused. Her finger lightly tapped the tip of Jiang Wenping's nose.

"All right, all right, I'm looking at you." At this moment, Jiang Wenfeng, carrying the peaches, and Jiang Huanyu also stepped through the courtyard gate. If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it. Seeing them, Huang Lingxiu quickly went forward.

"Uncle Jiang." Jiang Huanyu smiled and nodded.

"Stone, give me the peaches. You two chat." Huang Lingxiu quickly said, "Father is in the rear courtyard. Eldest Uncle also came." Jiang Huanyu nodded.

"That is just right." As he spoke, he carried the peaches toward the rear courtyard. In the side room of the rear courtyard, Huang Yunxiao lightly skimmed the tea foam in his cup, his expression somewhat solemn. Huang Qingzhou, at the side, frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "Big Brother means His Majesty is preparing to use troops against the Western Wasteland barbarians?"

"That is most likely the intention." Huang Yunxiao put down the teacup in his hand and sighed.

"A hundred years ago, the Three Western Region Commanderies were broken through by the barbarians. This is Great Yu's humiliation."

"For a hundred years, Great Yu has let the people recover and has not started wars. Now, the world has seen consecutive years of harvests, the granaries are full, and the current emperor is also quite ambitious. He will definitely want to recover the Three Western Region Commanderies."

"In my view, this recruitment of soldiers should be for this." Huang Qingzhou sighed slightly.

"We have only had a few years of peaceful days. If war rises again, many commoners will probably be affected."

"Qi'er and Lin'er are both still in the border army. This time…" When the two brothers were mentioned, Huang Yunxiao's face also filled with worry. The Huang family now only had these two male descendants. He had originally planned to make arrangements this year and use connections to transfer his two sons away from the border army. Who would have thought they would encounter this matter?

"Second Brother, there is one more matter this elder brother is somewhat worried about." Just as he finished speaking, Jiang Huanyu's knocking sounded from outside the door.

"Big Brother Huang." Hearing that it was him, Huang Qingzhou immediately opened the door.

"A-Huanyu is here?" Jiang Huanyu put down the basket of peaches and smiled.

"Peaches grown by our family. I brought a basket for you to taste."

"Big Brother Yunxiao has time to come back today?" Huang Yunxiao smiled slightly.

"There is something I came back to discuss with Qingzhou." Hearing this, Jiang Huanyu immediately cupped his hands.

"Then you two chat first. I will go stroll outside."

"No need." Huang Yunxiao said, "This matter happens to be related to you as well. Sit and listen." … Jiang Huanyu sat down holding a teacup, his brows tightly furrowed.

"Recruiting soldiers?" Huang Yunxiao nodded.

"Although the official document has not yet been issued, this matter is already confirmed."

"A-Huanyu, what do you think?"

"Me?" Jiang Huanyu froze slightly, somewhat puzzled. Huang Yunxiao said, "According to Great Yu's laws, before the age of forty, you are still within the military service age range. Once the recruitment document comes down, you must go serve."

"You did not know this?"
