In a chaotic world, the frontier is engulfed in war. The once unified dynasty has crumbled, barbarian cavalry tramples the land, people are displaced, and soldiers shed their blood on the battlefield. The protagonist is an unassuming soldier on the frontier, without a prestigious family background or immense power. All he possesses is unwavering courage and an indomitable spirit. Struggling to survive amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood, he only wants to protect his isolated city and live. Who would have thought that a routine battlefield patrol would lead him to rescue a wounded and wretched empress of a fallen kingdom! Once a powerful and incomparably noble empress, she lost her kingdom and family, becoming a prisoner vulnerable to all, enduring humiliation and barely clinging to life, a fragile drifter in a chaotic world. Two people from completely different backgrounds unexpectedly meet on the frontier, their fates becoming inextricably intertwined! No melodramatic clichés, no overly sentimental characters; the male protagonist is decisive, ruthless, and merciless. From this moment on, he is no longer a lowly soldier at the mercy of others, but a war god in a chaotic world, protecting the empress and sweeping away all enemies! Faced with the barbarian army's relentless siege, he single-handedly raided the enemy camp at night, beheading their general and disrupting their ranks. Facing the court's ruthless pursuit of traitors, he proceeded cautiously, using their strength against them to uncover the mastermind. Amidst internal and external troubles plaguing his empire, he single-handedly stabilized the border defenses, rallied his remaining troops, and rose step by step from a lowly border soldier to a renowned general who commands respect throughout the land! The Empress is no weakling; she is patient, intelligent, and compassionate, possessing the heart of a ruler despite her dire circumstances. She understands politics and is adept at judging character, silently supporting the male lead, analyzing the situation and stabilizing the hearts of the people. In this chaotic world, they rely on each other, mutually committed, without melodramatic misunderstandings, only the deep affection of fighting side-by-side. Beneath the battlefield's fierce power lies tenderness, and amidst the turmoil of war, their mutual protection shines through – a truly heartwarming story!

   Chapter 35 If Joining the Army Means Death, Then You'll "Die" Once As soon as Master Lu finished speaking, Song Yan slammed the teacup on the low table and got up to leave. If Meng Sheng died in the town prison tonight, the clue to the three hundred catties of refined iron would be completely cut off. The moment the military advisor entered the north gate tomorrow morning, he could easily pin all the blame on the dead man! Yan Jing snorted beside him, "What's the panic? You're going to the town prison alone, in the dead of night, what excuse do you have to get into the inner cell?" Song Yan also stood up, tucking the empty wine jar under his arm, "I'll go back to the east corridor through the back gate to lie down, so as not to arouse suspicion in the inner quarters. Your brother Wei is at the town prison, go find He Liuhun first and borrow their figurines." With a determined heart, Song Yan bowed to Master Lu and Yan Jing to take his leave, and followed his father quickly out of the inn. Father and son parted ways at the alley entrance. Song Yan, with half his hair down and his back hunched, slipped into the alley, while Song Yan hurried towards the inner city, his mind racing, calculating how to get Meng Sheng to talk. "Sanlang? Sanlang?" Wang Luer's loud voice pulled Song Yan back from his thoughts. At the crossroads, Gao Huan, riding a gray horse, had just turned the corner with a dozen or so patrolling soldiers. Wang Luer, holding a lantern, shone it closer, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets: "May I ask, Sanlang, where did you get such a windfall with your new robes and boots?" An old soldier behind him yawned, thinking to himself, "You silly boy who just regained his military status, you're already showing off after just one day as a clerk? Dressed like a high-ranking official in the garrison commander's mansion, who are you trying to impress!" Song Yan didn't have time for idle chatter, so he casually said, "Found it in a chest at home." Wang Luer said, "Oh, it's from home." His tone was slightly disappointed; he had thought he could get another bowl of mutton soup. The old soldier chuckled inwardly: Sure enough, the Song family, a down-on-their-luck town dweller, couldn't possibly make any real fortune. A moment of silence fell over the surroundings. Song Yan suddenly realized that Gao Huan had just been promoted to patrol captain today, and the soldiers under him weren't completely loyal yet. He himself was now the clerk of the military affairs department, so he couldn't afford to be careless about appearances. He cleared his throat and said, "The Imperial Military Law states: 'If night patrols are not strict, the chief officer will also be punished.' General Duan just handed me the military affairs department's register for verification during the day. If even one thief escapes from the inner city tonight, you'll all be punished by the military affairs department at roll call tomorrow morning!" Wang Luer and the other soldiers were immediately stunned. Gao Huan, sensing the unspoken message from his horse, immediately dismounted, dismissed his attendants, and pulled Song Yan to a sheltered spot: "Ayan, what happened?" Song Yan lowered his voice: "We've found the buyer of the three hundred catties of refined iron hidden in Meng Sheng's secret stash—it's our Military Advisor, Chi Lieyan. He's using the excuse of patrolling outside the city to collect goods from the blacksmith's village, and he'll be escorting three cartloads of privately made ironware through the north gate at dawn tomorrow!" Gao Huan's heart skipped a beat: "His men in the city are going to silence Meng Sheng tonight?" "Most likely!" Gao Huan didn't dare to delay and turned to Wang Luer, shouting: "Luer, take the brothers and keep a close watch on the alleys before and after the prison! Don't let a single stray dog ​​escape!" Although Wang Luer was a little suspicious of Song Yan's earlier threat with the board, he wasn't about to miss this opportunity to show off in front of the new captain, so he quickly clasped his hands and replied: "Don't worry, Brother He! I'll gouge my eyes out and hang them at the alley entrance to keep watch!" The two quickly arrived at the prison and knocked on the gate. The charcoal fire burned brightly in the guardhouse. Wei Jing sat on a couch with his chest open, wiping the jade pendant he had smuggled from Meng Sheng's waist during the day with his sleeve. The two bolts of fine silk from Hebei lay beside him. Seeing the two men burst in in the dead of night, Wei Jing's heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively pressed the silk down with his arm. This little devil had just said he'd give the silk to his sister-in-law during the day; could it be that he felt bad about it in the middle of the night and brought Liu Hun back to collect the debt? Song Yan saw through Wei Jing's little scheme of hoarding food at a glance, but didn't expose him. He walked to the table and asked directly, "Brother Wei, who went into the inner prison tonight?" Wei Jing breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they didn't ask for silk, everything was fine. He casually replied, "No outsiders! Meng Sheng is very stubborn. When asked about the three hundred catties of refined iron, he blamed it on that dead Lin Shiming. I've been starving him all day!" "What about the jailers? Did any jailers bring him food?" "Half an hour ago, Liu, the jailer in charge of the inner prison, brought in a pot of hot mutton soup, saying that Meng Sheng's distant cousin had slipped him two hundred coins..." Halfway through his sentence, Wei Jing stopped abruptly and jumped up from the couch: "Damn it!" Having worked in the prison for so many years, he knew all too well what could be added to that two hundred coins' worth of soup! The three of them rushed down the stone steps of the inner prison. In the innermost solitary cell, torches flickered. The burly Liu Jinzi, with his hand on the back of the cell door, pressed Meng Sheng firmly against the pile of straw. His left hand gripped Meng Sheng's cheek, while his right hand forced a black earthenware pot into his mouth. A piece of hemp rope with a slipknot lay at his feet. "Meng Gong, just drink it! The steward of the military advisor has said that if you drink this aconite soup tonight, your wife and two sons might survive!" "Bang!" Gao Huan kicked out, snapping the wooden bolt! Liu Jinzi, clearly unprepared, turned around and was grabbed by the back of his collar and thrown away. The earthenware pot shattered on the ground, splattering black soup everywhere! Wei Jing rushed forward and struck Liu Jinzi on the back of the knee with an iron ruler, ordering the jailers to gag the traitor and drag him to the water dungeon. Only Meng Sheng remained in the cell, slumped on the straw, coughing violently. He had been overjoyed when he heard someone break down the door, thinking it was the steward of Military Advisor Chi Lie sending someone to break him out of prison; but when he saw that it was Song Yan standing under the lamp, his heart sank to the bottom. Seeing Meng Sheng's shifty eyes, Song Yan knew this old fox hadn't given up. Before he could catch his breath, Song Yan stepped forward, pointing at the pool of foamy black soup on the ground and berated him: "Meng Sheng! You kept your mouth shut for Chi Lie Yan, taking all the blame for the three hundred catties of refined iron upon yourself, and this is what you get in return?! Do you think Chi Lie Yan is coming back to the city tomorrow to bail you out? He wants you to die even faster!" Meng Sheng was stunned by the scolding, looking at the black soup on the ground, a sudden panic gripped his heart! He had endured torture in the town prison during the day without confessing, truly hoping that Military Advisor Chi Lie Yan would return to protect him. In the military town, the military advisor was a high-ranking official appointed by the imperial court, while Song Yan, a clerk, and Wei Jing, a squad leader, were not even ranked; they were merely low-ranking miscellaneous positions created by the town's administration. As soon as Chi Lieyan entered the city, a single word would be enough to take over the case. But Meng Sheng never expected that before Chi Lieyan even entered the city, his steward would bring him aconite soup! Song Yan didn't give him time to think, squatting down and coldly saying, "I'll ask you again! Where exactly is Chi Lieyan hiding those three hundred catties of refined iron? How will he get into the city tomorrow? He's even prepared coffins for your wife and two sons, and you're still covering for him?!" Actually, Song Yan didn't have a statement from Chi Lieyan's steward. If a cunning prisoner had heard Liu Jinzi's words, they might have suspected that the town prison had hired someone to stage a fake confession. Seeing that Meng Sheng had just escaped death and was still shaken, Song Yan deliberately made his statement seem plausible, taking advantage of the chaos to attack his mind. Meng Sheng's mind was buzzing. Looking at the still-steaming poisonous soup, his last shred of hope vanished. He cried out, "I'll talk! I'll tell you everything! Please, Song Shuzuo, save my wife and children!" "Tell me first, what is the relationship between Chilieyan and the Yifu family of Pingcheng?" "Chilieyan's wife is a clanswoman of the Yifu family!" "What were those three hundred catties of refined iron forged into? Where is it?" "In the blacksmith village ten miles outside the Black Mountain Pass, thirty suits of armor were forged, ready to be sold to the Rouran through the official channels! Tomorrow morning at dawn, he will lead fifty personal guards, escorting three large carts covered with hay, into the city through the north gate!" Song Yan finally extracted the truth: thirty suits of privately made armor, to enter the city through the north gate tomorrow morning at dawn! Hearing this from the side, Wei Jing's breathing became heavy. He rubbed his hands and said, "Thirty suits of armor? Let's go! We'll take him to General Duan's door right now and ambush him at the North Gate tomorrow morning!" Song Yan shook his head and said, "No way. Since Chi Lieyan's steward was able to bribe Liu Jinzi, he must have spies outside the prison. If we go now and alarm General Duan, the spies will go back and report, and the steward will send a fast horse out of the city tonight to inform Chi Lieyan. He'll just throw the three carts of armor into the ravine. Where will we catch him in the act?" Wei Jing was taken aback: "Then what do we do? We don't know where the steward is hiding waiting for news!" "Then let the spies lead us to find him." Song Yan glanced at Meng Sheng, who was slumped on the ground, and said calmly, "Isn't Military Advisor Chi Lie hoping that Lord Meng will die tonight? Let's carry a 'corpse' out and follow the spies who brought the news, and wipe out this whole bunch of people in the city in one fell swoop!" ... At dawn, the night was cool and still. The back gate of the prison creaked open, and two jailers carried out a tattered straw mat, revealing a pair of blue cloth shoes underneath. Wei Jing, carrying a lantern, followed behind, cursing, "Damn it! That pedantic Meng Sheng smashed his head against the prison wall in the middle of the night! Quickly take him to the mass grave and throw him away!" In the shadows of the alley, a spy wearing a felt hat spotted the blue cloth shoes under the straw mat, his heart filled with joy. He turned and ran wildly, disappearing into the back gate of the Chi Lie residence on the east street of the inner city. In the main hall of the back courtyard, Chi Lieyan's old steward was sitting behind his desk waiting for news. The spy stood before him, bowing as he announced the good news. "Wait a minute, repeat yourself! What did you see peeking out from under the straw mat?" The old steward leaned forward. The spy gestured vigorously, "Shoes! The blue cloth shoes Meng Sheng wore into the prison during the day!" "Blue cloth shoes?" "Oh right, about 80% new, I recognize them!" "80% New?" The old steward frowned. "Absolutely true, not a speck of mud on him!" The informant's eyes were utterly certain. "Are you sure?" The old steward stared intently at the informant. The informant nodded, "I'm sure!" The deputy captain in charge of guarding the courtyard asked nervously, "Steward, what's wrong? What did you find?" The old steward remained silent, waving to the informant, "Go wait in the front yard." After the informant left the room, the deputy captain said anxiously, "What did you see? Tell me quickly! The convoy for the army will arrive at the North Gate tomorrow morning!" The old steward's gaze sharpened: "That dead man was an imposter!" "Ah?!" The deputy captain suddenly stood up, his eyes wide: "Are you serious?!" "Would I joke about something like this? That greedy bastard Wei Jing even steals all the copper coins from the prisoners' belts in the town prison, and those desperate jailers even strip the tattered clothes off dead bodies to exchange for wine! How could he possibly leave a pair of nearly new blue cloth shoes for the mass grave?!" Bang! The deputy captain kicked over the table: "I'll ride out the north gate at top speed and stop the recruits!" "Nobody's leaving the north gate!" The main hall door was kicked open from the outside! Gao Huan, carrying a broadsword, stepped across the threshold, followed by Wang Luer carrying a bag of ironwood clubs and a dozen patrol soldiers. Song Yan slowly peeked out from behind Gao Huan, smiling and bowing to the old steward: "Thank you for the reminder, sir. Next time we're carrying people to the mass grave, we'll remember to take off their shoes first." In the border towns of Northern Wei, if an official only knew how to embezzle the two liters of millet from the laborers' bowls, he wouldn't be able to hold his head high in the eyes of his colleagues. The truly lucrative business was smuggling ironware to the northern grasslands. The Rouran people were skilled at herding horses on the grasslands, but they lacked iron ore at home, so even their iron cooking pots and hunting arrowheads had to be stolen or smuggled. The Northern Wei court guarded against this as if it were a thief's den. The *Book of Wei* repeatedly issued strict orders forbidding the export of military weapons and ironware beyond the Great Wall; anyone caught doing so would be executed. How high were the profits? Let's put it this way: Meng Wenshu could change a military register for three bolts of silk, but he still had to be extremely careful, even using orpiment to scrape the paper; Chi Lie, the military advisor, could take three cartloads of armor plates out for a trip, and the horses and sable furs he brought back would be enough to buy half a street. Of course, the risks were equally high—the lives of his entire family were at stake.
