Lin Zhengs eyes widened, and his jaw dropped so far that one could stuff in an egg.

‘Did I just hear the words “Wei family army?” Master’s husband can command the Wei family army? Wait, what was the God of War’s name again?’ After some thought, Lin Zheng remembered the name Wei Jin’an.

‘Yes, there’s only one name difference between Luo Jin’an and Wei Jin’an. Gah, why didn’t I think of this before?! After all, Wei Jin’an is the person 1 admire most, and he’s right in front of me!’

Lin Zheng looked at Luo Jin’an, and his eyes lit up. He had lived with the God of War and even talked to him for many days. Lin Zheng was so excited that he was about to go crazy. He was in a daze.

Meanwhile, Su Binglan removed a few packages from her pocket dimension and gave them to her husband. Some things might be needed here, such as food, medicine, and hidden weapons.

Luo Jin’an was worried about his wife and quickly gave her some instructions. Su Binglan knew time was of the essence and was hurrying to head to Dingyang City, so she could not talk much with her husband.

Since she had brought Lin Zheng along, she was responsible for him and needed to take him back. When she looked at him, she noticed him looking at Luo Jin’an with a fiery gaze.

Lin Zhengs expression made Su Binglan’s lips twitch. The initially tense atmosphere relaxed because of the former’s expression.

“Lin Zheng.” Su Binglan called his name, but he did not hear her. Instead, his entire attention was on Luo Jin’an.

Lin Zheng finally returned to his senses when Luo Jin’an turned to look at him. Lin Zheng jumped before Luo Jin’an and wiped his hands on his clothes. The former wanted to say something but froze.

“Follow your master,” Luo Jin’an said.

Lin Zheng snapped to his senses again after hearing Luo Jin’an’s voice. “N-No, no, I don’t want to go back. I want to stay with you, God of War!”

Lin Zheng looked determined, and Su Binglan knew he idolized Young Marshal Wei. Now that Lin Zheng had discovered Luo Jin’an’s true identity, he would not return with Su Binglan. After all, Lin Zheng was crazy about his idol.

Su Binglan knew his thoughts. She asked, “Are you sure you want to stay here? It’s dangerous, you know?”

“I’m not afraid, Master. The God of War entered the battlefield at the age of seven. I’m an adult now, so I’m not afraid.’

Su Binglan decided to leave Lin Zheng with her husband when she saw how determined Lin Zheng was to stay behind. She told her husband, “He’s excellent at martial arts. I taught him myself, so 1 know he can help.” She knew Lin Zheng would not follow her even if she asked him to.

Lin Zheng felt grateful that he had studied and trained hard. Now that he could put his knowledge to good use, he had a reason to stay by Luo Jin’an’s side.

After giving some simple instructions, Su Binglan mounted Falling Snow and quickly headed toward Dingyang while the eagle hovered above her.

It took a day for Su Binglan to reach Dingyang. She saw blood on the ground and battle marks on the city wall as soon as she arrived. She knew a war had already broken out.

The city wall’s gate remained tightly shut. When someone on the wall saw Su

Binglan, he shouted, “Who are you?!”

“I’m the person King Lan Ruozhu asked for!” Su Binglan had to act in her brother’s name if she wanted to protect Dingyang and mobilize its military forces.

She also had the token representing Lan Ruozhu’s identity that she had received from him. The token represented Lan Ruozhu and the deceased royal’s mansion. Therefore, Su Binglan entered Dingyang without issues.

After entering the city, she saw several recovering soldiers. Some were still severely injured, but only one military doctor was around to treat everyone. Su Binglan felt terrible as she looked at the severely injured soldiers’ expressions.

She quickly went to the city lord’s mansion. After revealing the token again, the city lord was terrified and dared not question Su Binglan’s identity. Immediately after, the city lord reported the situation to her.

Su Binglan kept her token and commanded Dingyangs small military force. There were only 5,000 soldiers in the city compared to the initial 30,000 since many had sacrificed themselves.

Some even got transferred to Beiding City for support, primarily because many spies were there.

Su Binglan used a highly efficient method to locate the spies and gathered some crucial information. She realized one of the spies was hiding in the military camp and was the one who leaked some information to outsiders. The spy had informed his superiors about the situation in Dingyang City, and they immediately mobilized a cavalry and infantry to attack.

Su Binglan imitated the spy’s handwriting and sent a message to his superiors, telling him there were 30,000 reinforcements in Dingyang. She did that to lower the enemy’s morale.

Nonetheless, the enemy would feel undetermined to win, weakening their morale when they inevitably encountered Luo Jin’an.

Su Binglan took her backup blood-stopping and typhoid medicine before gathering the doctors in the city to treat the soldiers. Of course, she also paid the doctors generously as a reward.

She even gave them money to buy food for the soldiers to eat. After all, everyone would feel revitalized after eating their fill and quenching their thirst. She left 3,000 soldiers and her eagle to protect Dingyang. If something happened there, her eagle could quickly notify her about it.

She also sent a thousand troops to help her husband, but the two cities near Dingyang also needed soldiers. They faced occasional attacks from the army, so they did not have military forces to spare.

However, Su Binglan saw the battle below when she arrived. She was shocked when Luo Jin’an led his 100-strong Wei family army against 10,000 soldiers. The unstoppable Wei family was terrifying.

Su Binglan could not describe how she felt. The thousands of surviving enemy soldiers looked at Luo Jin’an and his 100 men fearfully.

“W-Wei…” The enemy general looked at Luo Jin’an and his men as images of the Wei family army’s terror flashed through his mind. The enemy general knew only the Wei family was formidable enough to take on thousands even though outnumbered.

The Wei family’s 100 men crushed the 10,000 enemies, shocking the general.

Moreover, he had just received news that Dingyang still had 30,000 soldiers to spare. The general knew it was pointless for his men to continue attacking and could only retreat.

However, the general and his soldiers were at an immediate disadvantage as soon as they retreated. Luo Jin’an led his men to pursue them, and the enemy suffered countless casualties.

Su Binglan sighed in relief when she saw this scene and knew her husband was safe. Those still alive were scared out of their wits when they returned, hurrying to inform Chu Feifeng of their defeat.

The enemy also wanted to inform Chu Feifeng that there were still survivors of the Wei family.

The group could finally feel relieved when Luo Jin’an and Su Binglan met to return to Dingyang City, followed by reinforcements.

Although Lan Ruozhu had hidden many troops in Dingzhou, it would take time for reinforcements to arrive. Still, Su Binglan and the others successfully defended Dingzhou in half a month..
