“Wait!” Before Shiye could stop him, Shao Shuting had quickly stopped Xue Wufu.

Shao Shuting smiled awkwardly.

“It’s not that I don’t want you to go, but I’m just a little worried that Xue Yan and Jiang Yue will get mad at me for this. I think that you can’t hide the fact about joining the military, but at least don’t let them know so early.

“But don’t worry, I really am the general of the South. Xue Yan and Jiang Yue both know that. Wait until I leave tomorrow, then you can ask Xue Yan Jiang Yue. It’s not too late to ask them for confirmation. By that time, I’ll be gone, so even if Xue Yan and Jiang Yue are angry, I won’t be able to see it. Naturally, I can comfort myself with that thought. Those two kids…

Hearing Shao Shutings words, Xue Wufu was scared again. He looked at Sanfu in fear, “S-Sanfu… It really is true… H-he… He really is the general…” After saying that, Xue Wufu couldn’t hold on and knelt down again.

He was quite bold, but he wasn’t that brave.

He had never even seen a County Magistrate in his life, but he had met a general.

Xue Sanfu finally believed him. Then, he was about to kneel down, but before he could, he heard Shao Shuting say, “There’s no need to be so polite. This isn’t the military camp yet. Once we reach the military camp, everything will have to be done according to the rules of the military camp. Military orders will pile like mountains. I’m sure you’ve heard of it.”

Xue Sanfu lifted Wufu up again.

The thin and weak Xue Wufu was lifted as if he weighed nothing.

This arm strength…

Shao Shuting nodded with satisfaction.

“That, that…” Xue Wufu’s teeth were chattering. “B-but… Can Sanfu and I not enter the military camp?

Going to the military camp meant leaving home, and he didn’t want to leave home.

Shao Shuting looked at the tall and strong Xue Sanfu, “What do you think?”

Before Xue Sanfu could say anything, Shiye couldn’t help but speak up for the camp, “Sanfu, with your strength, you can go to the military camp and make a name for yourself. As a man, your strength will be wasted here. If everyone stays like this, who will protect Da Ling in the future?

Shiye’s words were firm and powerful, which showed how hot-blooded Shiye was when it came to joining the army.

Shiye had always thought that a man should always stand up for the country.

Xue Wufu’s blood was boiling, but unfortunately, Shiye was talking to Sanfu…

Xue Sanfu was finally no longer expressionless and aloof. He slightly furrowed his brow, and after a long while, he indifferently said, “I will need time to consider.”

It was a consideration, not a rejection. Shao Shuting immediately understood that Xue Sanfu would definitely agree to go to the military camp in the end. Xue Sanfu was like this. Otherwise, it would be a direct rejection.

“I’ll give you three days to think about it,” Shao Shuting said with a smile.

He will be given three days to have a good time with his family. After he goes to the military camp, he might not be back home for a few years.

Xue Sanfu didn’t say anything and only curtly nodded. It was obvious that he had accepted the deadline.

“If you’ve made up your mind,” Shao Shuting said with a smile, “You can go to Quanping Inn in town when you’re packed. Someone will take you to the southern army camp from there.” Then, he looked at Xue Wufu with a smile. “Wufu, do you really not want to join the military?

He could only use force at the end.

Xue Wufu didn’t know what Shao Shuting was thinking. He wasn’t a shrewd person at all. He subconsciously wanted to answer that he didn’t want to leave home..
