Chapter 179: Departure

Due to the sudden decision of the higher-ups, the barracks were busy preparing for the departure. This time, Fu Chen’an’s team was also dispatched since he was under Gao Yan.

Not knowing that her husband was being sent to the war again, Yao Zhi arrived at the military barracks as usual. This time, the guard informed him, and it took him half an hour to come out.

Noticing her husband’s solemn expression, she asked, "Husband, what’s wrong?"

Fu Chen’an held his wife’s hands and said, "Wife, the northeast villages were attacked by the Tatar. The General gave an order to drive them out of our territory."

Hearing this, Yao Zhi understood and asked, "Are you going as well?"

Fu Chen’an nodded and said, "I don’t know how long it will take for me to come back, since the Tatars are cunning and like to do guerrilla war."

Yao Zhi went silent for a moment before she let go of his hand and rummaged through the bamboo basket.

Actually, she was using the bamboo basket as a cover to take out a jar of wound ointment, a jar of snow rain pill, and a set of golden soft armor from her spatial bracelet.

After she obtained the wound ointment, she transferred it to a smaller jar. This way, it would be more convenient if she needed to use it one day.

When she first obtained the soft golden armor, she wore it for 2 days before she decided to take it off. She only spent time at home, and there was no danger. Now that her husband would go to the frontier to fight the Tartar, she decided to give it to him.

She noticed that her husband seemed to have guessed her identity. Since that was the case, she wouldn’t hide her secret from him. She would tell him everything on the day he decided to ask her directly.

Afterward, she opened the waterskins and added 20 drops of spiritual spring water to each waterskin. Then, she took out 50 marrow cakes from her spatial bag and placed them in the bamboo basket.

Fu Chen’an stood on the side and watched his wife with a complicated gaze. He didn’t know how to comfort her, even if he knew how worried and reluctant she was.

While he was still hesitating, he saw his wife wave at him and say, "Husband, come here."

Meeting his wife’s eager eyes, Fu Chen’an walked over and asked, "What’s wrong?"

Yao Zhi looked around, and when she was sure that they were alone, she pulled her husband closer and whispered, "Husband, I met the divine physician in the border market and managed to buy some good things from him."

Fu Chen’an’s eyes lit up at her words, and he asked, "Wife, did you buy the wound ointment?"

Yao Zhi nodded and replied, "Not only the wound ointment, but I also managed to buy a life-saving pill from him."

"He said that this pill has a very strong effect, so you need to scrape a little bit with your nails and dissolve it in water. This pill can heal internal injuries and nourish the body."

The moment he heard this, he looked at his wife and asked, "Wife, how much did you spend to buy these things?"

"Well, it’s expensive, but it’s a life-saving item. As long as it can save your life, I’m willing to spend all of my money."

When he heard this, he stared at his wife speechlessly. Before he could feel moved by her words, he saw her pull out a thin, skin-like piece of clothing. The clothes glistened in the sunlight.

"What is it?"

"Husband, this is a good thing. I spent 400 taels of gold to buy this golden soft armor. I already tried it, and it’s very strong. Even a knife cannot penetrate this armor," Yao Zhi explained excitedly.

"What’s more, when you wear this armor, it feels as if you are wearing nothing. It’s not bulky, so you can wear it under your clothes and heavy armor. The material is also breathable, so you won’t feel hot or suffocated."

Not noticing her husband’s helpless gaze, she continued, "Look, it even comes with complete parts, including the trousers. You won’t have to worry about injuring your lower body."

As soon as he heard this, Fu Chen’an’s ears reddened. He reached out to cover his wife’s mouth and said, "Alright, you don’t have to say more."

Yao Zhi didn’t know why her husband covered her mouth, but she was happy that he agreed to wear the armor. This was a reward from the system. In this era, this soft armor was equal to a cheat code!

After Fu Chen’an kept the items away, Yao Zhi said, "Husband, since you are going to the northeast border, I won’t send lunch to the General."

"I brought 50 marrow cakes for you. You can have them when you are hungry. Also, I brought medicinal water for you. It’s in the waterskins."

Fu Chen’an looked at her with suspicion, but he said nothing. There was no such coincidence for his wife to bring all these items right before he went to the war.

His instinct was telling him that these items had just taken out by her. After all, the marrow cakes were still warm. If she brought them from home, they should have cooled by now.

But the question was, where did she put all these things?

Since he still had a lot of things to do before the departure, Yao Zhi didn’t stay for long. After she reminded him to take care of himself and be more careful, she finally drove her donkey cart and returned home.

An hour later, a large group of soldiers left the barracks. In the evening, the news about the General sending soldiers to drive away the Tartar spread to the nearby towns and villages.

As the sky had turned completely dark, Yao Zhi locked the gate and doors before she returned to her room and went to sleep.
