Chapter 284 The Stubborn Uncle Insists on Going

Li Yaoguang quickly turned around to look for the source of the sound, and immediately saw a golden figure rushing towards him from the side of the ship.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be her uncle in golden armor. Li Yaoguang was pleasantly surprised. She didn't even bother to look at the expression of the person behind her and ran up to him.

"Uncle, uncle, it's great to see you. Are you okay? Why have you lost weight? Oh my god, you look so handsome in this armor!"

Seeing my relatives again, I was unexpectedly happy.

Li Yaoguang rarely acted like a child. He ran up to them with a smile on his face, walked around them, and asked from the bottom of his heart.

Cheng Su was also happy, especially when he saw his niece jumping around and talking so sweetly. He couldn't stop feeling happy, but he didn't forget the thrill of that day and hurriedly pulled Li Yaoguang to look her up and down.

"Haha, you naughty boy, stop right now and let your uncle take a good look at you."

At this moment, Li Yaoguang was a good kid. She was held back and looked at by her relatives. To reassure her family, she jumped around and clapped her arms and legs.

"Hehe, uncle, don't worry. Look, I'm fine. Have you forgotten that I'm a capable person?" At this point, she didn't forget to wink at her uncle, "I didn't get hurt when I fell into the water from the city. Later, I was even less afraid when I met my elder brother. Don't you know my elder brother's medical skills?"

Seeing Li Yaoguang jumping around, Cheng Su was completely relieved. Speaking of Ji Mo, Cheng Su nodded repeatedly, "Oh, that's right."

Then he looked around and saw that there was only Shen Yue on the deck, but no Ji Mo. Cheng Su asked again, "By the way, where is Ji Mo? And Black Whirlwind, didn't you say in your letter that Black Whirlwind was with you guys? What's going on?"

"You're still talking! We just arrived when we heard the news of the army's departure. In order to chase you, I left Black Whirlwind and the others at the General's Mansion. My eldest brother is waiting downstairs now." Having said this, Li Yaoguang said seriously, "Uncle, what did you mean by the letter you sent earlier? What's wrong with you? Why do you suddenly want to follow Shen Yue to the front line to fight?"

I didn't expect the topic to change so quickly. Cheng Su was stuck and didn't know where to start. But the child was staring at him closely, and Cheng Su felt inexplicably guilty. As a parent, he couldn't lie to his child.

Cheng Su laughed dryly and tried to change the subject.

Li Yaoguang didn't know her uncle well, and knew at a glance that he was evading her. She was annoyed, "Uncle!"

Cheng Su's tiger body trembled, and a flattering smile appeared on his face.

"Haha, well, Sister Guang, let's go, let's go find that kid Ji Mo. Your uncle has something to say to him." It would be better to take this annoying kid away as soon as possible.

Well, this is really false!
Li Yaoguang didn't want to be fooled. He couldn't move even if he was pulled. He clasped his hands fiercely and swept over with a cold force.

"Oh, uncle, don't change the subject. I'm here today to take you home. Don't tell me any big truths. Anyway, we must go back."

"no!"

Li Yaoguang's words were so firm that no one could refuse, but as soon as he finished speaking, two voices in front and behind him rejected the idea in unison. It turned out that his uncle and his best friend were against it and disagreed.

Li Yaoguang: “Why not?”

Shen Yue was helpless and looked at Cheng Su. Cheng Su smiled bitterly and pulled his child over. Knowing that he couldn't escape, he had to confess honestly.

"Yaoguang, it's not that your uncle doesn't want to go back with you. When we joined the army on the street, we were assigned to the Northern Expedition Army. We stayed here because we had connections. It was against the rules. Later, when we transported grain to the north, the troops were actually supporting the Northern Army. In addition, during the battles of Fengzhou and Pengcheng, the general made a report to commend his merits, and His Majesty was very pleased. Because of the previous experience, he has made your uncle a fourth-rank general. At this juncture, as a general, I must protect my country. How can I escape?"

"But you don't know martial arts. Although you have faced the enemy in two battles, it is not the same as charging into the front line and fighting! What's more, my aunt and Yang Ge'er are still waiting at home..."

"Sister Guang! Your uncle knows, your uncle knows everything! I also know that I am incapable, but child, under the imperial decree, there is no possibility of turning this matter around. If you disobey the decree, your family will be confiscated and your clan will be exterminated! Although your uncle has no pity for the Zhenwei Marquis Mansion and will confiscate it, you cannot!

Another thing is, among these 100,000 soldiers, who is not a son to his parents, a husband to his wife, and a father to his children? They can all rush to the front battlefield without hesitation, so why can't I?
Even the great general had to shoulder the heavy burden and go into battle at such a young age. Why can't I, your uncle, be a man of seven feet tall? Why can't I be the only one who can't be?
"My dear child, I know that you understand the truth, so I won't say much. You must know that no egg can be left unbroken when the nest is overturned. I can hide today, but what about tomorrow and the day after tomorrow? Can I hide forever?"

Even if he could, he didn't want to be bullied and trampled underfoot for the rest of his life.

It was his own idea to stand out and protect his family. What did it have to do with his relatives? How could he say that? Putting the burden on his family was his selfish gamble. In order to prevent his family from thinking too much and his children from feeling guilty, he could only say this.

Shen Yue couldn't bear to see Li Yaoguang anxious, so he came up and patted Li Yaoguang on the shoulder to comfort her, "Yaoguang, don't worry. I know you're worried. Don't worry, I will take good care of your uncle."

"That's not what I meant, Shen Yue. I meant... Oh! Can't I change it?"

This... Shen Yue hesitated, just when she was swept by Cheng Su's pleading eyes. Then she thought that if this war was settled, and if Nan Gui and others wanted to make further progress in the future, her background would become a problem.

It would be better to take advantage of Uncle Cheng's determination to make progress and let him achieve more under his own protection. Then there will be fewer obstacles between them.

Thinking of this, Shen Yue suddenly figured it out. All the previous entanglements disappeared instantly. He shook his head firmly at Li Yaoguang, "Yaoguang, I'm sorry, the imperial decree will never be changed, and you must respect your uncle's wishes."

"My uncle's wishes?"

Looking at my uncle, I saw him nodding heavily at me, obviously he had made the decision in his mind.

Looking at the golden armor on him now, Li Yaoguang no longer thought he was handsome, but he was also relieved. In fact, the matter had already been decided when he received the letter.

"Forget it, uncle. If you must go, I won't stop you. But you have to remember, you are not alone. My aunt, Yangyang, and I are all waiting for your return at home. You must make sure you return safely. Everything..." She wanted to say that swords and knives are blind on the battlefield, so don't rush forward.

But when she thought about what her uncle had said before, she realized that each of these 100,000 soldiers had a family and relatives. How could she say that at this critical moment?

"Well, uncle, I'll go with you."

"That won't do!"

This time, there were two more intense voices of opposition.

The two refused without a second thought, and Shen Yue's attitude was particularly firm.

Cheng Su was afraid that his niece would be stubborn, so he tried to persuade her: "Sister Guang, this is really not possible. There has never been a woman who went to the battlefield with someone, and you are still a child! Besides, if you go with me, what will happen to your aunt and Yang Ge'er? They are still waiting for you at home, and there are people from the Zhenwei Marquis' Mansion who are eyeing you covetously. If I leave and you don't come back, won't they tear your aunt and her son to pieces?"
