The further north the group went, the colder it became. The north wind blew even harsher at night.

Su Binglan initially thought Tenghe Town was remote, but after arriving at the border, she realized what remote and desolate truly meant. Sometimes, it would snow heavily, and the north wind would kick up sand and dust.

Fortunately, Su Binglan, Blue Two, Blue Three, and Lin Zheng wore sweaters and jackets. They could also wear hats, scarves, and thick gloves to keep themselves warm on their journey. Otherwise, they would get frostbite.

Lin Zheng looked at the abandoned city walls at the border and suddenly realized how much better Tenghe Town was. It was prosperous in the town, but the border was desolate. Even the city wall remained abandoned.

“Master, is the border?”

“Yes, it is,” Su Binglan said, “We’ll be in the Great Desolate Region once we enter.”

Lin Zheng sighed. “It was a tough journey, and I didn’t expect the border to look like this. It can’t even compare to Tenghe Town. It’s so barren here that I don’t know if anyone is even around.”

He was more casual and spoke his mind around his master.

“The current state of the border is already deserted. It covers a large area, but it’s all barren land. Crops can’t even grow. In addition to the previous war and current chaos, only a few commoners live here.” Su Binglan had been worried the entire journey.

She would only sleep briefly, even when the group occasionally rested. She could not sleep well and was constantly worried about her husband. Now that the group had arrived at the border, Su Binglan could sigh in relief.

‘I’m about to find him.’

Her heart almost pounded out of her chest when she thought about Luo Jin’an.

However, she was still concerned about his health.

Since Blue Two and Blue Three were Shadow Guards, they were relatively quiet along the way. They would only speak when Su Binglan tasked them with something.

Lin Zheng would have forgotten about the other two if he did not know four people were in the group beforehand. The two Shadow Guards’ ability to hide was too amazing.

Lin Zheng also admired Young Major General Wei. Wei Jin’an was like a god to him, so Lin Zheng inquired about him and knew the young major general used to guard Chu Country’s borders.

However, the Great Desolate Region was no longer a part of Chu. Instead, it was an abandoned wasteland.

Lin Zheng still did not understand something. “Master, the border doesn’t belong to Chu anymore because of the war three years ago?”

In his mind, his master was omnipotent and knew many things. He thought she could answer any questions he had.

A layer of frost had already appeared on Su Binglan’s face. She thought momentarily and said, “When Chu Country lost, the border should have belonged to the enemy, Beishao Country.

“However, Chu’s emperor did not want to hand over the border. Thus, he allowed this place to become abandoned, and the bandits ran rampant.”

Lin Zheng pondered and said, “But this is a border. Beishao will probably want to take over, no matter how chaotic it is.’

Su Binglan smiled mockingly. “It’s not that simple. People from the two countries colluded in private back then. However, they could not agree on the border’s ownership and allowed it to go barren.

“As time passed, it became harder for them to take over the neighboring states,” Su Binglan snorted coldly as she spoke,

‘The border always belonged to the Wei family’s army and should always belong to them, even in the future.’

Lin Zheng realized what was happening, and his expression turned solemn. “You know much, Master.’

Su Binglan said indifferently, “I only know a part of it, not everything that had happened here.”

She only understood little since she had recovered some of Lan Ruobings memories. Also, the princess had died three years ago before the war. That was why she could not stop it.

‘Perhaps only Jin’an knows what exactly happened.’

Although Su Binglan wanted to know these things, she was reluctant to ask him. She understood those memories haunted Luo Jin’an because the war wiped out his entire family and their army.

She knew it would be harrowing for him to recall, so she never asked.

“Let’s go in.”

“Yes, Master.”

Blue Two and Blue Three naturally followed. As soon as the group entered, a few bandits appeared to rob them. Su Binglan did not even need to do anything, yet Blue Two and Blue Three had already beaten the bandits to the ground.

“Ahh! Ugh!” They fell to the ground and wailed in pain. Then the bandits looked at Su Binglan and her group, revealing terrified expressions as cold sweat rolled down their faces. They feared the group of four would kill them.

However, Su Binglan did not kill the bandits and left immediately, shocking the bandits.

Su Binglan knew some of these people had unwillingly become bandits. They were just ordinary people who had no choice but to become one to survive. Nonetheless, she was hurrying to find Luo Jin’an and had no time to deal with the bandits.

The group of four was formidable, and none were their match. Therefore, Su Binglan quickly found where Luo Jin’an stayed. After all, they were in a remote village with only a few households.

It was also what Mr. Kong had told Su Binglan about. She looked around, and many images flashed through her mind. She had dreamt that Luo Jin’an was in this place.

Although she was anxious to look for her husband, she felt a sense of timidity because she had not seen him for a long while.

At that moment, in a wooden house at the foot of a mountain, Luo Jin’an seemingly sensed something and awakened. The doctor noticed it and became excited. “Major General, you’re awake!”

“Cough, cough…” Luo Jin’a tried sitting up, but his entire body hurt so badly when he moved that he could not help but cough. His face grew increasingly paler as cold sweat broke out on his forehead. His body had never been more fragile.

“Major General, please lie down and don’t move.” The doctor became extremely nervous when he saw Luo Jin’an trying to sit up.

Luo Jin’an looked around the room, then up at the beam, his expression lonely. He realized he was not in Su Teng Village. Since coming here, he often woke up thinking he should be in Su Teng Village with his wife.

However, he was still at the border whenever he woke up. He took a few deep breaths and asked, “How’s the situation?”

The doctor seemed troubled when he realized Luo Jin’an still had to worry about such things. He wanted his master to worry less, which was good for his health.

“Our people are guarding Hong Tong. The place is well-hidden, so the Hong family can’t find him. Moreover, based on Hong Tongs confession, we found people close to the old general and some other clues..”
