Qi Cheng really wanted to join the army.

He couldn't do his homework, and couldn't concentrate on reading the Book of Songs or essays for hours. Since he was a child, he liked to touch cold weapons and wield guns and sticks.

The situation at the border was not good, and the imperial court had just issued a recruitment order. Qi Cheng thought this was an opportunity, but who would have thought...

He stood in the hall, watching his mother wiping away tears, then he cried out, and went over to take Madam Qi's hand as if to comfort her.

"Mom, I'm fine. I'm not just being impulsive when I want to join the army. Besides, if I stay there for a year or so, maybe a general will emerge from our Qi Mansion..."

He moved his shoulders and winked at Madam Qi. Madam Qi was furious and pinched him. Seeing that he immediately cried out in a funny way, she frowned and was about to scold him when she caught a glimpse of Qi Xiu coming from the door and quickly walked over to meet him.

"Why is my son here?"

She stretched out her hand and Qi Xiu quickly took it.

"My son heard that Huai'an was going to join the army, so he came to see me."

As soon as he said this, Madam Qi immediately felt as if she had found her backbone: "Yes, yes, I don't know what's wrong with this brat..."

As Mrs. Qi was speaking, Qi Xiu raised his head and exchanged a glance with Qi Cheng. Seeing that he was forcing a smile at him with a bitter look, he looked at his father who was sitting in the main seat in silence.

Grandfather didn't come over, probably because he wanted to let them discuss it themselves.

Qi Xiu patted Mrs. Qi's hand to comfort her, and waited until she was firmly seated on the chair before he asked again.

"Why is the imperial court suddenly recruiting soldiers?"

He frowned, actually he already had some guess in his heart. After hearing what he said, Minister Qi finally sighed, looking worried.

"...In just one day, someone at the border received news that the Zhao family had been raided, and spread rumors before the imperial edict arrived..."

He even said that it was because the emperor was too suspicious that the Zhao family became the second Fang family.

Minister Qi paused and sighed again.

"...The commander guarding the border was a man named Wu. No one knew where he was from, but he was a close confidant of Zhao Qiuhu and was promoted by him. Upon hearing the news, he led 3,000 soldiers and horses to the city of Mochuan overnight and surrendered with the Great Qin Border Defense Map!"

It is so...

Qi Xiu was also surprised.

"These three thousand soldiers and horses are a small matter, but the most important thing is this border defense map. Mo Chuan opened the city gate for them, so I think he wants to tear up the peace letter..."

Minister Qi sighed again. Seeing this, Madam Qi fell silent as well. She understood that the situation in Daqin was not good now. A group of officials had just been sent back to the capital, and before they could even catch their breath, chaos broke out again.

"…My son wants to join the army, which is a good idea."

When Qi Cheng heard that he was being mentioned, he hurriedly took two steps forward.

"The morale of the troops at the border is unstable now. I am afraid that once the imperial edict arrives, the truth will be seen as an excuse made by the court. That is why the court issued the order to recruit soldiers..."
