Chapter 1218: Chapter 1219: Tiger Talisman

Su Chengyu was overjoyed upon hearing Xiao Changyi’s words, ”Brother Yi hasn’t visited the troops for a long time. Now that he’s active in the military again, the morale of the soldiers will surely be greatly boosted.”

In the military, there was no one whose prestige could surpass Xiao Changyi.

Not just in the military, but in the entire Xiyun, nobody’s prestige could be higher than Xiao Changyi’s.

Taking this opportunity, Su Chengyu, full of anticipation, asked, ”Brother Yi, how about, I give you back the Tiger Talisman? I feel more at ease with it in your possession.”

Xiao Changyi looked at Su Chengyu with a cold gaze, his eyes conveying utter disdain.

An Jing couldn’t help but find it amusing. Her husband actually despised this military command token, the Tiger Talisman, to such a degree.

Being accustomed to such disdain, Su Chengyu didn’t take it to heart and continued, ”Originally, when you returned triumphantly, you tossed the Tiger Talisman to our father. Even when he begged you to keep it, you refused. Father didn’t trust anyone else with the Tiger Talisman, so he kept it until I succeeded the throne and it was passed to me. I’m really not comfortable entrusting it to anyone else, either.”

Xiao Changyi said, ”If you don’t trust anyone else with it, then manage it yourself.”

After pausing, Xiao Changyi added, ”If a battle arises that necessitates my deployment, even if you don’t give me the Tiger Talisman, I’ll ask you for it.”

With Xiao Changyi’s words, Su Chengyu naturally wouldn’t insist on entrusting the Tiger Talisman to him anymore.

An Jingxin sighed to herself: To be so highly meritorious and yet not be subject to suspicion is something probably only her husband can achieve in this world.

The women soldiers were not scheduled to join the camp until the 20th day of the first lunar month, but Li Wuyu arrived in the Imperial Capital four days earlier.

Prime Minister Li was strongly against Li Wuyu serving in the military.

But Li Wuyu had already enrolled, effectively putting the cart before the horse, and Prime Minister Li’s opposition was futile.

Wang Youbao, on the other hand, supported her.

Of course, when Li Wuyu first mentioned enlisting in the military, Wang Youbao didn’t agree. After a detailed discussion with Li Wuyu, ensuring that she genuinely wanted to serve and was fervent about serving her country, Wang Youbao gave his consent and offered his special support.

It should be noted that Wang Youbao himself harbored lofty ideals and wished to take to the battlefield to slay enemies.

In Wang Youbao’s eyes, a true man should experience the battlefield, and although Li Wuyu was a woman, women now had the option to serve in the army. They could be like men, and since he had no desire to confine Li Wuyu to the domestic quarters, he naturally supported her as his wife.

Li Wuyu sincerely wanted to serve her country as men do. Regardless of whether she would end up being a soldier, he would not consider it a disgrace, but rather a matter of pride.

As soon as Li Wuyu entered the Imperial Capital, she first went to Prime Minister Li’s Mansion to act coquettishly with her father, persuading him not to be angry about her signing up for the military.

Once Prime Minister Li’s anger subsided, Li Wuyu then went to visit Prince Yi’s Mansion to find An Jing and Xiao Changyi.

Seeing An Jing and Xiao Changyi from a distance, Li Wuyu joyfully called out, ”Master! Mentor Father!”

An Jing was delighted to see her apprentice Li Wuyu.

Seeing that Li Wuyu ran up to her with a healthy complexion, she must have recovered well from childbirth. Nonetheless, An Jing couldn’t help but ask with concern, ”It hasn’t been four months since you gave birth, are you really fully recovered? Can you handle the intense training?”

Li Wuyu immediately replied, ”I have recovered! I’m in really good shape now. Master, you don’t know, in these months, my husband Youbao specifically found someone to help me recuperate. I’m truly fully recovered!”

Only then did An Jing feel at ease and smiled, ”Youbao really does cherish you.”
