Started as an exile and became a mother, kicked the scumbag and spoiled the whole family

Just one sentence made Xiao Yunfei's eyes warm.

He bent down quickly.

"Hurry up and tell me what happened. Why did the news say that you were all dead?"

Hu Zhan's face showed pain, and he stated with a frown.

"When the news about you was reported back to the army, we didn't believe it and impulsively decided to rush back to the capital to rescue you, but we were suppressed by the emperor and the prince's men."

"Originally they couldn't defeat us, but we had a traitor on our side, our food supplies were burned, and our water was poisoned. In just two days, we lost nearly 30% of our soldiers."

"At the critical moment, Sun Yu changed his strategy and asked the main force to pretend to surrender and stay in the army to wait for the general to come back. Sun Yu and I took a group of brothers and pretended to fall off a cliff and die during the pursuit. In this way, we changed a route and prepared to return to Beijing to find a chance to save the general."

"We wasted too much time on the journey. When we returned to the capital, we heard that you, the general, had been exiled, and your family was controlled by the old emperor."

"After learning about this, we dared not act rashly, so we chased and searched all the way, thinking about finding you first, because we were blocked everywhere in our actions. It took us so long to find you, General. It's really useless for us to let you suffer here alone."

As Hu Zhan spoke, he raised his fist with a guilty look on his face and hit himself hard on the chest twice, tears in his eyes.

Xiao Yunfei frowned as he watched his performance and couldn't help laughing silently.

"Oh, why don't you open your eyes and take a good look at where I'm suffering?"

Hu Zhan was immersed in his own emotions. He was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then slowly turned around and scanned the decorations in the house.

How come this is different from what he thought?

He thought that the general would be in danger of death on the journey, and even if he arrived in Ningguta safely, he would not have enough food or warm clothes, and would be tortured to death by doing hard labor every day.

But the scene before him told him that he was wrong.

"This...this house belongs to you, General?"

"What else? You found this place and you don't know whose house this is? How did you become stupid when you left me?"

"Oh, you're insulting me right after we met. I can't believe this is true. General, are you really not suffering here?"

"No." Xiao Yunfei shook his head. "I have a wife and children here, and in a sense, I am living a better life than before."

When talking about children, Xiao Yunfei's eyes darkened.

"Da Jun and his children are all sleeping upstairs. You can go and take a look at them secretly. They all look a lot like their father. You'll know when you see them."

Hu Zhan, who was originally grinning foolishly because he knew that the general he had been thinking about was doing well, suddenly froze when he heard this.

He nodded with tears in his eyes.

"Well, I'll meet them later. They should be pretty big now."

"They have grown up a lot. They are now well taken care of by my wife. My wife is the best woman I have ever met. If you meet her, you will think I am blessed."

When talking about his wife, Xiao Yunfei couldn't help but want to praise her a few more words.

Before he finished speaking, he saw Hu Zhan with a conflicted look on his face, and asked tentatively in a low voice.

"General, is the sister-in-law you are talking about the same one as before?"

All the brothers in the army knew that their boss had a bad relationship with his sister-in-law, and they had not even consummated their marriage for several years.

This question is not easy to answer, Xiao Yunfei said in a deep voice.

"Yes and no, anyway, the person next to me now is your sister-in-law for life."

"General, have you chosen her?"

"Ah."

"Hehe, that's great, General, you finally have a home. This is a blessing in disguise."

They are of similar age and often stay together. They are not only comrades-in-arms but also brothers who can trust each other.

Xiao Yunfei is not arrogant and gets along well with his subordinates.

That's why they dared to joke with him.

Xiao Yunfei was not angry either. He smiled and nodded.

"It is indeed a blessing to meet someone you want to spend your life with. If circumstances permit, I hope that all my brothers can get married, have children, and live a peaceful and stable life without fighting and killing."

This is really tear-jerking.

A wife, children and a warm bed are just luxuries for these people who have devoted their lives to defending the country.

It is an unattainable dream for them today.

Many brothers died in the war. They never had the chance to marry, to honor their parents, or to leave descendants for the family.

Hu Zhan knelt on one knee again and saluted Xiao Yunfei.

He spoke word by word.

"General, the world has changed since you lost power."

"Thinking back to the time when we fought side by side on the battlefield, we were so glorious. Even though you have fallen into such a state now, your fame remains. You are the only one that my brothers and I respect the most."

"My brothers and I know that you will not just accept your fate. We have already established intelligence networks in various places and are secretly recruiting soldiers in the mountains, waiting for you to come out."

"General, we still have some power in our hands. As long as you make a plan, you will be able to turn the tide and lead us back to the top!"

Xiao Yunfei was very touched and nodded.

"Since you brothers still believe in me, I will not let you down. When we get what we want one day, I will make sure that all of you who follow me will live a happy life."

Hu Zhan was extremely delighted when he learned of Xiao Yunfei's idea.

In the following time, the two sides exchanged information and analyzed the current situation.

The situation on Hu Zhan's side was not optimistic. They could only hide in the mountains to train their troops secretly, living like rats in a gutter. Most of the time, food and drink were problems.

Xiao Yunfei was not surprised by this. It was already amazing that they could survive under the opponent's power.

As long as people are still here, nothing else matters.

What he lacks most now is people, confidants whom he can completely trust.

With them, he took another big step towards his goal.

Once we started talking about business, we forgot about time and before we knew it, it was already dawn.

"It's dawn. You should leave now. Do as I say. Also, tell the brothers that I will come to find you tonight."

Hu Zhan was very careful. He went upstairs, secretly took a look at the children, and left Fengtou Village before everyone woke up.

Great, he found the general and now he has a backbone.

Sun Moushi and his men would definitely be very happy to know this.

The sun slowly rose, and Xiao Yunfei's yard gradually became lively again.

Dozens of people came and went, laughing and chatting, and queuing up to get water to wash.

The big pot meal in the village was ready. Xiao Yunfei took people with large basins to get the food back, and ate it with Meng Xiangyu and others in their own yard.

Looking at the pots of steaming food being brought back, Xu Xiuli's eyes lit up and she asked a little embarrassedly.

"Sister, there are so many of us eating from the village's big pot, won't other villagers have any objections?"

"will not."

Su Miaomiao smiled and shook her head. Seeing that Xu Xiuli was confused, she continued to explain.

“Because the whole village eats my food, and the ingredients are all taken from my home.”

"Ah? The whole village eats your food."
