Chapter 604 Those who oppose it are no longer human!
The old man had just recovered from a serious illness, having almost walked through the gates of hell.

Without Dr. Qin Luo's timely rescue, his fate would likely be uncertain now.

As his daughter, Lu Siyu naturally wanted to stay by his side and take care of him for a while.

But she also knew that the Tang bandits, who were vying for supremacy with Shen Wuxiang, needed her more.

She also currently serves as the director of the Tianji Administration Bureau, which is the brain and virtual battlefield command center for the rebel army. The General Staff Headquarters also needs a lot of data and information from here to plan and formulate strategies.

If she weren't there, and they encountered a tough opponent from the Mo family, such as the Mo family patriarch Mo Wu personally taking action, the others in the Heavenly Secrets Administration Bureau probably wouldn't be able to withstand his offensive.
Little Fatty, on the other hand, cried his eyes out, which infuriated the old man. He pointed at Little Fatty and yelled, "I'm not dead! What are you yelling about?"

"Godfather, I'm afraid I won't see you again when I come back," the chubby boy said, his eyes red.

"Pah! Pah! Pah! I was pulled back from the brink of death, how could I die? Even if the King of Hell himself came to take me away, I'd still have to argue with him!"

"That's good." Little Fatty was relieved and looked at the old man, saying, "Godfather, you must live well. I'll come back to see you whenever I have time."

If it were a bandit leader, I'd just kick him out.

The old man treated Little Fatty differently after all. Knowing that the boy was pure, filial, and simple, he softened his voice and comforted him, "Don't worry, you won't die. Once I'm feeling better, I'll rush to the front lines and join you. What's the point of hiding in this godforsaken place all day?"

Lu Dongsheng, Lu Shengyang, and the others looked embarrassed. Weren't they the kind of people who were "hesitant to move forward"?
Tang Fei nudged Lu Siyu's shoulder and whispered in her ear, "I've always suspected that Little Fatty is your father's biological son."

Lu Siyu looked at the chubby little boy's fair and tender face and nodded seriously, agreeing with Tang Fei's guess. She said, "I also don't think he's a barbarian. How is he barbarian?"

"What are you two whispering about?" The old man had a partially implanted simulated mechanical brain, giving him extraordinary hearing.

"We are concerned about your health and are discussing subsequent treatment options," Tang Fei said casually, making up a reason on the spot.

You see, there's a reason why the old man doesn't trust him enough.

If it were Little Fatty, he would definitely choose to tell the truth.

Lu Siyu kept a straight face and didn't say anything, since Tang Fei had already explained it for them anyway.

"Hmph, I know you never say anything nice," the old man threatened.

Dr. Qin Luo felt that Xiao Pang's worries were an insult to him, and said, "Don't worry, everyone. With me here, Mr. Lu Yu will definitely not be in any danger."

Tang Fei patted Qin Luo on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Dr. Qin, thank you for your hard work. Once the old man recovers, you can accompany him to the front lines and join us."

"That's exactly what I was thinking too," Dr. Qin Luo readily agreed.

Now that you've decided to take sides, then give it your all.

What are you doing hiding in this remote area all the time?
Without a large-scale war, the doctors at the Tianji Academy are capable of handling all emergencies here.

Tang Fei had hinted to him that if they were to achieve final victory, he would hand over the position of Minister of Health of the Empire to him.

Even if he was solely focused on medicine and unwilling to become an official, he could have left the position to a member of the Qin clan who had made significant contributions to the righteous army.

So, will the Qin family also become a powerful clan within the empire?

To be honest, it's quite tempting.

He may disregard his own interests, but he must consider his clan.

"I also want to go to the front line to treat and save lives. The soldiers there need me more. That is my first battlefield."

"The main thing is to protect me," Tang Fei said. "I'm afraid of dying."

"." Qin Luo.

"." Lu whispered.

"." Everyone.

Only the old man chuckled, for this was the Tang bandit he knew.

He trained them himself.

Tang Fei was not one to drag things out, and he quietly left under the cover of night that very night.

When they arrived, there were three people in one coffin, and everyone was in a somber mood.

When they left, the coffin was removed, but everyone felt unusually relaxed.

They will head to the battlefield, towards hope.

When the starship landed on the Gonggong, the command ship of the North Sea Fleet, Bai Wuxin and Chen Binghan were already waiting on the deck.

Without their permission, the fleet's radar would have locked onto them and opened fire long ago.

"Marshal." Chen Binghan strode forward and gave a standard Imperial Navy salute, showing great respect. Bai Wuxin bowed slightly and called out, "My lord."

It's immediately clear who's on our side and who's an outsider.

"Thank you for your hard work." Tang Fei met their gazes one by one and responded with a smile.

He turned to Lu Siyu and Xiao Pang and said, "We'll stay here tonight. You two go find a place to eat something and get some rest."

Little Fatty's eyes lit up several degrees when he heard the word "eat". He was not afraid of hardship or fatigue, but he was afraid of not having anything to eat.

The miniature star disc only contained concentrated nutrient solution and compressed food packets, which tasted bland and lacked the smoky flavor he loved most. Little Fatty was really tired of eating it.

Lu Siyu wasn't interested in food; he'd rather find a place to take a long nap.

After all, she was a Starship pilot. Although there was an electronic eye scanning system, she dared not relax at all. She maintained a high level of concentration from beginning to end and hadn't closed her eyes for the past two days.

After Little Fatty and Lu Siyu were taken away, Tang Fei looked at Bai Wuxin and Chen Binghan and said, "Let's go to the rest room."

"Yes." Chen Binghan replied, and said, "I've asked the kitchen to prepare a few side dishes. Marshal, please have something to eat first."

Tang Fei nodded and said, "Alright. Have you two eaten yet? Let's eat some together."

"Eat."

"No."

The two of them said in unison.

Bai Wuxin had eaten it, so he said he had eaten it.

Chen Binghan had eaten before, but since the marshal invited him to dine with him, he could eat a little more.

Is this about whether or not to eat? It's about whether or not to spend time with them.

Several side dishes were already laid out on the dining table in the lounge.

Grilled red beef, smoked deep-sea turtle, stir-fried red beans and bok choy, and a milky white fish soup.

The barrel contained frozen Red Cloud wine from the southern border of the empire, its deep red color tempting the appetite.

Tang Fei sat in the main seat and invited Bai Wuxin and Chen Binghan to sit down next to him.

Bai Wuxin knew that Tang Fei had something to talk about, so she didn't refuse.

Tang Fei was indeed quite hungry, and after wolfing down his food for a while, he picked up his wine cup and said with a smile, "Come on, let's all have a drink together. Let's celebrate our long-awaited reunion."

The Tang bandits were gone for a short time, less than twenty days at most.

However, because of the many things that happened and the twists and turns and dangers that followed, the days seemed to stretch on endlessly.

"Welcome back, Marshal! With you back, our North Sea Fleet has a pillar of strength." Chen Binghan quickly picked up his wine glass, set the rim down, and gently clinked it against Tang Fei's glass.

Bai Wuxin did not raise his glass, but said, "I still have to patrol the port later."

Drinking doesn't prevent him from drawing his sword, but he doesn't like drinking.

"Alright, let's drink together." Tang Fei readily agreed.

Chen Binghan watched with envy; these were true brothers.
If your boss asks you to drink, just say you don't want to.

Very willful.

He knew that someone like him, who had surrendered halfway through his life, would need a very, very long time and a lot of work before he could be valued by the Tang bandits and become one of their own.

He tilted his head back and drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp.

Tang Fei spoke up, saying, "General Chen, there's no need to rush. Let's drink and chat."

"This first cup is to express my respect for the Marshal, I must drink it all." Chen Binghan said with a fawning smile.

Tang Fei followed him and asked, "How's the internal reorganization of the North Sea Fleet going?"

"During this period, I had one-on-one communication with the captains and senior and middle-level managers of each ship. Everyone was very willing to devote themselves to the Marshal until their dying breath."

"No one objects?"

"Those who oppose it are no longer human."
