    Luo Jin’an would not have gotten injured and reawoken his cold poison, but the Hong n had sent their experts to hunt his subordinates down when they captured Hong Tong.


    Luo Jin’an had no choice but to use his martial arts to protect his subordinates from the Hong n. However, his body was not as robust as before because of the cold poison.


    Whenever he used his martial arts, it would trigger the poison, making it fatal to his body. However, Luo Jin’an did not have time to consider things because he had to save his subordinates and the Wei family army’s surviving members. He could not put them in danger.


    His martial arts were formidable, and the Hong n was no match for him, even though they sent many of their most capable people.


    After all, people called him the God of War. It was not just a title—he was truly mighty and had never lost. Although he had dealt with the people in pursuit, he had reawoken the cold poison and became weak.


    Fortunately, the group escaped, and the Hong n dared not send more people into the border province. Still, Luo Jin’an’s cold poison was acting up terribly.


    His subordinates were scared for him, but he had the medicine Su Binn had made for him. Luo Jin’an’s condition temporarily stabilized after taking medicine, but the cold poison had worsened.


    He could not return to Su Teng Vige because he still had important things to do at the border province. His subordinates wanted to send a message to Su Binn, but Luo Jin’an stopped them. He did not want his wife to worry.


    She was safe in the vige, and Luo Jin’an could not bear to let here to the border province to put herself in danger. Moreover, knowing that Su Binn was okay allowed him to carry out his tasks without worry.


    Luo Jin’an used to be indifferent to life and death. He felt the same as Lan Ruozhu did, only wanting revenge. However, things had changed, and he had someone to care for.


    He did not want to drag Su Binn into his problems even if he had something to worry about. He thought she did not know what had happened to him in the past and could live a good life.


    During his time at the border, Luo Jin’an endured the pain of the cold poison and began to arrange many things. Through interrogating Hong Tong, he understood some of the dark secrets behind the war three years ago.


    Luo Jin’an also learned what roles the enemy country and some of the Chu Country ministers yed in the war. After asking Hong Tong for crucial information, Luo Jin’an’s eyes reddened.


    He discovered that some of the Chu Country’s ministers and the enemy country went to war to destroy the Wei family army. It was the same Chu Country the Wei family army had loyally protected.


    The emperor was wary of the Wei family’s prestige and ability. Still, he did not need to do anything because others would do it for him.


    Luo Jin’an fell ill, and his cold poison worsened. He would dream of many people when he slept but could not sleep peacefully when dreaming of the Wei family. He broke out in cold sweat until it drenched his clothes.


    The doctors guarding him were distressed and stayed by him throughout the night. However, one of the doctors admired Su Binn very much because of the medicines she had prepared for Luo Jin’an.


    Luo Jin’an might have died from the cold poison when he used his martial arts, but the medicine temporarily stabilized his condition after he took it. Even the doctors working together could not concoct such a thing.


    As the doctors stayed by Luo Jin’an’s side, they noticed he would always call out the same person’s name in his sleep, “B-Binn.”


    One of the doctors listened carefully and realized Luo Jin!an was calling for Su Binn.


    Meanwhile, Su Binn dreamed of Luo Jin’an, and her heart clenched. When she woke up the following day, she realized cold sweat had drenched her entire body.


    She thought of going to the border because she saw Luo Jin’an being there in her dream. Su Binn suspected she could find him there and had to go, no matter what. She could not be at ease until she found him.


    She started packing her things after waking up. She wanted to bring as many spare medicinal herbs and prepare as much medicine as possible. Su Binn also prepared a lot of food and wine. Fortunately, she had her pocket dimension to put those things inside.


    When Shen Qiuhua and Su Fengmao woke up and saw Su Binn’s cold expression, they felt something was amiss. Shen Qiuhua asked, “Binn, you don’t look too good. Did you not rest well?”


    Su Fengmao was also worried about his daughter, asking, “What’s wrong?”


    The two parents had grown ustomed to waking up early and noticed their daughter had woken up earlier than usual today. The older couple were worried when they saw their daughter’s unusual expression.


    “It’s nothing, Father. I’m packing my things for two days to go to the border province.” Su Binn wanted to leave tonight but did not know if she could prepare everything in just two days.


    Su Fengmao and Shen Qiuhua were no strangers to the border province. Although they did not know where it was in the past, they had been selling tofu products and dealing with merchants from far and wide. Therefore, they inevitably found out where it was.


    “That’s in the north. I heard it’s cold and barren there. Why do you want to go to the border?” Shen Qiuhua’s heart pounded.


    Su Fengmao also knew about that ce. “l heard hundreds of thousands of corpses from the Wei family army lie buried there. That ce is a wastnd.”


    The border province did not belong to Chu Country or Beishao Country, and bandits roamed there. It was deste, where no crops could grow. Therefore, the older couple felt uneasy about their daughter going to such a ce.


    When Su Binn did business with foreign merchants, she overheard them discussing the current border prefecture. It was Chu’s border city when the Wei family army guarded it.


    With them there, Beishao, whichy in the north, could not enter nor attack Chu. Even the nomads riding on iron cavalry could not cross the border. The bandits in the wastnd also dared not challenge the Wei army.


    Themoners could live normally in the border province with the Wei army’s protection. However, the border got abandoned, and bandits ran rampant after the war three years ago.


    The nomads from surrounding areas would also asionally invade. Then somemoners died, and those who survived moved away. The border had be too risky to take over, and neither Beishao nor Chu wanted to interfere.


    Later, people knew the border as the Great Deste Region, where various factions upied it. Even Beishao and Chu could not control it. The two countries had signed an agreement, and their borders had retreated, making it safe for both countries.


    Luo Jin’an had settled the surviving Wei army members there. After all, the most dangerous ce was also the safest..
