Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 445: Su Run prepares to return to the border town to join the army

There are people coming and going in the Su family's house every day. The Su family members don't know many of them, but since they all bring gifts, they can only welcome them warmly.

Many people who came in the afternoon were here for the young masters of the Su He family, and they were all asking about their marriages. Su He's parents declined politely, as the children still had to go to the capital for the imperial examination, and they couldn't be distracted by these things now.

Su Run was the only one in the family who was in a bad mood. Although he had prepared for it, he was still very disappointed when he failed the exam. He didn't want to take the exam anymore, so he went back to the border town to join the army and find Wang Xiaohu to join the army.

When the guests had left in the evening and the family was preparing to comfort Su Run, he expressed his thoughts. Seeing his firm attitude, the masters all agreed to let him give it a try.

Among the four, Su Run has the best talent for martial arts and the strongest martial arts. If he chooses to be a military commander, it is not a bad idea. Master Ye also said that Jing Yan and the others are all in the army, and they can help each other when the time comes.

Finally, after discussion, everyone agreed with Su Run’s idea. It would be up to him to walk his own path in the future and he still needed to give it a try.

Su Pei and the other two will continue to study in the capital city, and they will probably go to the academy to study for a while. When they can go to the capital, Su He and the others will go and prepare for everyone in advance.

Su He and the others waited for everything to be arranged in the prefecture city, and then took Su Run back to the border town. It would be good for him to go to the army to gain some experience, since he was still young, and he could take the exam again after he was discharged from the army.

In addition to the accommodation, the two cars were on the road, because Su Run's matter might not be good, and Su He's parents were always worried. In fact, they didn't want Su Run to join the army. The swords and guns on the battlefield were blind, and it was risking one's life for a future.

The Su family really doesn't need to work so hard now, but Su Run wants to go, and as his family, they can only support him. Otherwise, seeing his lost look, his family will feel bad. He must be really tormented in his heart for always chasing after his brothers and still not catching up!

After arriving at Fenggu City, they rested for a day. The next day, Su He's father brought gifts and took Su Run to visit Wang Xiaohu. After meeting Wang Xiaohu, Su He's father said straight to the point: "Brother Xiaohu, we are all family. I will tell you straight away. Su Run wants to join the army. You can arrange it for him!"

Wang Xiaohu smiled and said, "This is a good thing. Su Run is obviously a good material for martial arts. He has done well in training with his master. I have seen this before. A good man has ambitions to be far away. If he doesn't take the imperial examination to join the army, then it is not impossible for us to become Confucian generals."

"Don't worry, just leave it with me. The General's Guards are short of people. You can also go to your own place for training. It's your choice."

Su Run thought for a moment and said seriously: "Uncle Xiaohu, I'll go downstairs! I want to go to the army to train myself. Since I'm going to be a soldier, I'll start from the bottom step by step."

Wang Xiaohu laughed heartily, clapped his hands and praised: "You are worthy of being a son of the Su family. You have backbone. Let's take it step by step from the bottom. Uncle has confidence in you. Don't worry, no one dares to trip you up. Do your best."

Su Run agreed with Wang Xiaohu to pack a simple bag tomorrow, come to find him, and follow him to the barracks.

Su He's father took Su Run, who was looking happy, to say goodbye to Wang Xiaohu, telling him not to see him off and to see him off tomorrow. Tomorrow he still had to send Su Run here, and he didn't know when he would see him again. The army was not a home, and he couldn't come and go as he pleased.

When Su He's mother got home and heard that they were leaving the next day, she hurried to prepare her things. Su He's father told her to just pack some simple clothes, as the army would provide her with clothes, shoes and socks.

Su He smiled and said, "Dad, ask Uncle Xiaohu tomorrow how long you can wait for him to visit. We are not far from the barracks. If possible, you can wait for your brother to go in and see if he needs anything before sending it to him."

Su He's mother was no longer in a hurry. She prepared whatever was needed. Su He asked her mother to sew silver bills on the corners of her brother's clothes. If that didn't work, she could buy them with her own money.
