I Woke the Sick and Disabled Prince on Our Wedding Night Chapter 149 Facing the Enemy

149 Facing the Enemy
“Would you care?!” Lu Ze glanced at Pei Qian, who was making a fuss over nothing, and snorted in disdain. “Didn’t you want to take advantage of this opportunity to kill him?!”
“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll kill you since you know too much?!” Pei Qian raised his eyebrows. Not only was he not angry at Lu Ze’s rudeness, but he also laughed in amusement.
Seeing that Lin Suisui had already straightened up and seemed to have finish treating their injuries, Lu Ze said to Pei Qian, “If you wanted to silence me, you wouldn’t have waited until now!” Then, he strode towards Lin Suisui.
If it were in the past, dealing with five injured people at once would have been a piece of cake for Lin Suisui. However, with her current body… it was still a little stressful.
With a pale face, Lin Suisui threw the embroidery needle in her hand into the strong wine basin at the side. After standing up, she swayed twice before falling into a familiar and warm embrace.
As Lu Ze picked her up, he asked her in a low voice with heartache, “Are you done?!” Lu Ze lowered his head as he looked at Lin Suisui, who was so tired that she could barely stand.
“Yes.” Lin Suisui nodded. Her voice was so low that if one didn’t listen carefully, they wouldn’t be able to hear her. “They know how to take care of the rest. I’m a little tired, so I want to rest for a while.”
“Take her back to rest first. Leave the rest to me!” Pei Qian rushed over at this moment and happened to hear Lin Suisui’s request. Before Lu Ze could ask, he spoke first.
Lu Ze didn’t stand on ceremony anymore. He carried Lin Suisui and rushed back to their tent.
The first thing Mrs. Luo did after the chaos outside subsided was to go back with Fang Liu and boil hot water to stew soup. At this moment, Lu Ze brought Lin Suisui back, just in time to drink the soup.
Lu Ze carried Lin Suisui into the carriage and took off her bloodstained clothes. Then, he leaned over and carried her towards the wooden basin Mrs. Luo had sent over. He twisted a handkerchief and carefully wiped Lin Suisui’s body.
After Lu Ze wiped the blood off Lin Suisui’s hands and face, he stuffed the unconscious little girl into the blanket that Mrs. Luo and the others had warmed up with soup. Seeing that she was asleep, he heaved a sigh of relief and left the carriage.
“It’s fine. Some bandits attacked.” Lu Ze came out and sat by the bonfire. When he heard Fang Dalang’s question, he answered straightforwardly. However, before Fang Dalang could rejoice and heave a sigh of relief, Lu Ze turned to look at Fang Erlang, who was sitting beside him, and said, “You previously said that you wanted to join the army when you arrived at the base. Just now, Mr. Pei arranged for me to lead the troops to face the enemy. Do you dare to follow me?!”
“Really?! I can go?!” Fang Erlang was excited when he heard Lu Ze’s words. His brother reached out to stop him a few times, but he couldn’t stop him. “I can really go with you to face the enemy?!”
“You have some martial arts skills, so you can follow me! However, you saw the scene outside today. If you follow me, there will be casualties! Aren’t you afraid?!”
Lu Ze wasn’t surprised by Fang Erlang’s excitement. He didn’t answer him immediately. Instead, he explained the dangers of joining the army. “You don’t have to agree to it so quickly. Discuss it with your parents first!
“Also, didn’t you say previously that many of your acquaintances and good buddies in this refugee camp also have the intention to join the army?! You can also tell them about the dangers. If you guys are still willing to join the army, you can come and look for me together!”
Lu Ze took a sip of soup and said to Fang Erlang patiently, “This isn’t a small matter. I hope you can consider it carefully before making a decision!”
“If we let them face the enemy now, isn’t it…” Wu Liu, who was sitting beside Lu Ze, couldn’t help but frown slightly and look at Lu Ze worriedly.
In fact, under normal circumstances, recruits wouldn’t immediately face the enemy when they entered the camp. Only when there was an emergency shortage of soldiers would they make an exception and let soldiers who had just entered the camp participate in the battle!
“Isn’t this situation urgent enough?! We’ve both been on the battlefield before. When we’re fighting on the battlefield with our lives on the line, who will remember the moves we practiced during training?!”
Lu Ze snapped the branch in his hand and threw it into the bonfire. As if answering Wu Liu’s question, he said to Fang Erlang, who was sitting beside him, “One will only followed one’s instincts and try one’s best to survive!”
“I still want to go!” The Fang family’s second son only hesitated for a moment before making a decision. “Brother Gu, you know our family’s situation.
In order to get my grandparents to agree to our trip to the north, we gave up almost all our family’s wealth!
Logically speaking, juniors like us shouldn’t criticize our family’s elders, but my eldest uncle and aunt are very cunning. They have my grandfather’s protection and use the examination as a cover. They won’t help out in the family at all. My third uncle has been protected by my grandmother since he was young. He idles around all day long and hasn’t had a single proper job yet!
My parents worked hard to support the entire family! But in the end, our family had to leave with nothing!
My parents had worked hard in their early years. Now that we have to start from scratch, how can I let them continue to suffer hardships?!
I’ve thought about it. My brother has already married my sister-in-law and is staying at home to take care of my parents and sister. I’m alone and haven’t gotten married yet, so I have to join the army!
“I heard that if I enter the army, our family will be considered a military household! This way, we can get more land and reduce our taxes!
“I want to improve my family’s life. Brother Gu, please help me!”
As soon as the Fang family’s second son said this, Mrs. Luo burst into tears. She reached out to stop him, but for some reason, she didn’t say anything. Instead, she turned around and cried on Fang Liu’s shoulder.
“If you think it’s feasible, you can follow me and try it out.” Lu Ze nodded and didn’t dissuade him anymore. “If you still choose to join the army after the trial period, I’ll help you ask Mr. Pei and ask him to arrange it for you.”
“Then, I’ll go tell Shunzi and the others.” Fang Erlang jumped up excitedly and was about to run out. After running for a few steps, he stopped and turned around. He looked at Lu Ze with uncertainty and asked again, “Can anyone who’s willing to join the army look for you?!”
“Yes.” Lu Ze nodded with certainty. “As long as you’re sure that you can withstand it, anyone in the refugee camp who’s willing to join the army can come to me.”
