As the name suggests, the Viper Team will do whatever it takes in a war. This is a team of lurkers who have no martial ethics and no idol baggage, lurking in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to bite the enemy to death.

The Golden Shield team mainly holds shields and is responsible for providing cover for the Tigers, Cheetahs and Eagles to resist fierce attacks.

The wet nurse team is responsible for logistics work such as supplies, technology, medical care, food, and transportation.

When the name "Wet Nursing Team" first came out, the team members felt ashamed, while the people from other teams burst into laughter and mocked the Wet Nursing Team for being sissy.

But Qi Yuanshuo seriously explained the important role of the wet nurse team in the war. It can be said that the wet nurse team controls the food, clothing, life and death of the entire Beilu border army.

Without the wet nurse, all the soldiers might starve to death, freeze to death, or be injured beyond medical treatment.

Qi Yuanshuo required all soldiers to respect every member of the wet nurse team and not to show any disrespect, otherwise they would be punished by military law.

The soldiers of the wet nurse team then felt a sense of pride and honor.

Because of the mighty and domineering name of the detachment, the morale of the Beilu border troops was greatly boosted, and the soldiers were very passionate during training.

Coupled with strict military discipline and a clear reward and punishment system, the soldiers knew that they would be rewarded for their meritorious service, that they would receive due compensation for their death, and that their families would receive special treatment, so they dared to bleed and to fight.

The combat effectiveness of the Beilu Army has been greatly improved, and they are no longer the weaklings they used to be.

At the beginning, Chang Heng, Li Jianjun, and several deputy generals believed that Zhao Xiaoshi, a young man who had not even grown all his hair, could not handle the Beilu Army at all, and it would not take long for the military camp to be in chaos.

When Zhao Xiaoshi has no other options, he will definitely come to them for help. That will be their best chance to negotiate with him.

But they waited for a long time and did not receive any call for help from Zhao Xiaoshi. Instead, they witnessed with their own eyes the Beilu Army being rejuvenated and becoming stronger day by day.

The thunderous slogans, the uniform steps, the well-trained formations, and the strong physique were all things that the Beilu Army had never had before.

Even if they did not admit it verbally, they had to admire Zhao Xiaoshi's ability to command and manage troops.

However, what surprised them was that Zhao Xiaoshi was just a peasant, had never read much, only knew a few words, and had not been exposed to any systematic military tactics. Why was he so powerful?

Is he a natural born general?

Qi Yuanshuo naturally had no idea what these people were thinking. Apart from training his troops, he would go back to his tent and sit there grinning foolishly, waiting for his wedding day.

That day finally came.

Gu Qinghuai was woken up early and started to dress up.

The Gu family's house was filled with busy figures, some welcoming guests, some carrying dowry, some preparing the wedding banquet. It was busy and orderly, and the atmosphere was noisy and lively.

Zhao Ying walked into Gu Qinghuai's room with red eyes, and sat aside, quietly watching the hairdresser combing Gu Qinghuai's hair. The long black and shiny hair draped behind her made her swan neck look even more slender and white. Now, her daughter Huai'er has transformed into a fairy.

But she still remembers the haggard woman who was wearing tattered clothes, dark and thin, carrying a big bag, holding the dark and thin little girl's hand, standing at the gate of the yard and looking inside nervously more than a year ago.

It was also from that day that her family began to change little by little, and things got better and better.

Looking up at the six courtyards and the servants coming in and out, Zhao Ying felt as if she was dreaming.

She took out a red cloth bag from her bosom, and after peeling back layer after layer of cloth, she revealed a completely transparent icy jade bracelet. Looking closely, she could see light pink silk floating in the bracelet, which was very elegant and beautiful.

Zhao Ying took Gu Qinghuai's hand and gently put the bracelet on her wrist. She said with red eyes: "Huai'er, our family was poor before. When you married Duoyin, you only had a basket of wild vegetables and suffered from other people's contempt and ridicule. Now that our family is well off, I asked your aunt to help me buy a bracelet in the imperial capital as a wedding gift from me. I put this bracelet in Baiyun Temple and asked a monk to bless you with peace and happiness, and a smooth life."

Gu Qinghuai touched the warm bracelet and said with red eyes: "Thank you, mother."

This bracelet looks extremely valuable. My mother must have spent a lot of money on it.

Zhao Ying wiped the corners of her eyes with her fingers and smiled with tears in her eyes, "Why thank you? Without you, our family wouldn't be where we are today. It's you who has led our family to live a good life that we never dared to imagine before. Over the past year or so, you have been the one who has worked the hardest. Mother... I don't know how to thank you. Remember, this Sophora japonica courtyard will always be yours, and the door of my mother's house will always be open to you."

Gu Qinghuai held her hand and smiled softly, "Mom, we are a family. Two years ago, when I, a widow, returned to my parents' home, I was looked down upon everywhere. However, no one in the family despised me. They still cared for me and loved me as before. You have brought me so much warmth, which cannot be measured by money."

Zhao Ying's tears fell, and she wiped them away with a handkerchief immediately, smiling, "Look, mother is really... Today is your big day, you should be happy, mother won't make you cry, if you cry, your makeup will be ruined, it won't look good."

As soon as Zhao Ying finished speaking, Nangong Yun, Zhu Meijun, Shu Mingzheng, Kuhua Nai and others came in with a group of children.

Nangong Yun added a very beautiful set of gold and jeweled head ornaments to Gu Qinghuai's makeup. Zhu Meijun directly took two gold bars, a gold bracelet and a pair of gold earrings; Shu Mingzheng got a set of gold jewelry that covered her from head to toe.

Xiao Lingxin asked Zhu Meijun to deliver a newly purchased farm on her behalf. The farm was located in the suburbs of Beilu County, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and covered a large area.

Kuhua Nai gave her a thick gold collar.

The children also gave their own gifts.

Perhaps because they were young and Beilu County was close to Qinghe County, the children could visit Qinghuai at any time, so they did not feel too sad. Instead, they were all as excited as little animals just out of a cage.

The residence of the young general in Beilu County was also decorated with lights and colors, creating a festive atmosphere.

Qi Yuanxiu, Zhao Wang, Xiao Lingxin, Princess Leyang's family, and Xiao Huo went there early to help, but the guests on Qi Yuanshuo's side were mainly close comrades-in-arms, leaders of various teams, and some officials and gentry from Qinghe County and Beilu County.

As for the soldiers in the barracks, Qi Yuanshuo directly gave them a thousand sheep and let them have a roast lamb feast.

Qi Yuanshuo bathed several times last night, and bathed again when he changed into his wedding clothes in the morning to make sure he smelled good.

After putting on the wedding dress, he stood in front of the mirror and looked at himself again and again. Later, he tied his hair up more than ten times before he was satisfied. Xiao Huo looked at his uncle's flustered look, turned to Qi Yuanxiu and said, "Dad, do you think my uncle will faint from excitement? Look, he can't even walk steadily."

Qi Yuanxiu smiled and said, "It's very likely. When we go to welcome the bride, you should keep an eye on him and don't let him embarrass himself."

Xiao Huo nodded heavily, "Yes! I will."
