Rebirth: Find a General as Your Backer

In my previous life in the Canglang Kingdom, I overheard the Canglang King talking to someone, mentioning Chu Mohan with great admiration.

The King of Canglang once said, "That Chu Mohan is the biggest obstacle for Canglang Kingdom to enter the Central Plains. With him around, it will be as difficult as climbing to heaven for Canglang Kingdom to conquer the Central Plains."

At first, Su Lianxue was cherished by the old wolf king and received much love from the Canglang King.

However, as the days went by, the old wolf king's body, like an ancient city wall eroded by time, deteriorated day by day, gradually losing its former majesty and vitality.

Su Lianxue's days in Canglang Kingdom became increasingly difficult, and she was often subjected to ruthless bullying by others.

She was isolated and helpless in this unfamiliar place, and could only silently endure it all.

Those who came with her were not of the same mind as her, and even her close maid was someone carefully arranged by the top scholar to monitor her.

Later, the old wolf king died of illness.

Su Lianxue's life in the Canglang Kingdom became even more difficult, to the point that she was eventually brutally murdered.

......

Although Chu Mohan was the fourth prince of the current emperor, he did not receive any favor from the emperor because his mother was merely a foot-washing maid whom the emperor had favored after drinking.

Although his mother was granted the title of "Consort" because of the favor he received that night, the palace has always been a place where people tend to fawn over the powerful and bully the weak.

Seeing that his mother was still not favored by the emperor even though she had given birth to him, the palace servants became even more harsh on them, often skimping on their food and making their lives extremely difficult.

Later, his mother accidentally offended someone and was unfortunately murdered.

Chu Mohan was heartbroken. Filled with grief and hope, he appealed to his father for help, hoping that his father could seek justice for his mother.

However, the emperor responded coldly, telling him not to easily believe what others say.

The coldness and ruthlessness in those words pierced Chu Mohan's heart like a sharp blade, plunging him into an abyss of despair.

Shortly after his mother's death, Chu Mohan was sent by the emperor to the border city of Mofang to fend for himself. The only person who accompanied him to the border was his wet nurse who had served him since childhood.

When Chu Mohan first arrived at the border, he was often deliberately harassed by some people. Those with ulterior motives always created trouble for him for no reason.

Fortunately, the old general was a kind-hearted man. He recognized Chu Mohan's talent at a glance and decided to teach him carefully.

Through experience gained in numerous actual battles, Chu Mohan gradually honed his exceptional military skills. He learned to assess the situation, devise clever strategies, and lead his soldiers in valiant battles.

Through countless life-or-death trials, Chu Mohan, with his tenacious perseverance and fearless spirit, carved out his own niche in this challenging border region, step by step.

He was no longer the down-on-his-luck prince who was bullied at will, but had become an iron-blooded general who struck fear into the hearts of his enemies and won the heartfelt support of his soldiers.

......

Chu Mohan hurried to the bedside and, seeing Su Lianxue awake, finally breathed a sigh of relief. This fragile and delicate person, who seemed like a porcelain doll, had finally woken up.

Su Lianxue's eyes suddenly filled with tears as she looked at the general she knew from her past life.

Su Lianxue recalled hearing her grandfather mention Chu Mohan's background when she was in the capital, and how heartbroken she felt when she heard it.

Now, seeing the general who had given her dignity at the end again, how could she not be moved to tears? At this moment, facing this familiar yet unfamiliar general, her emotions surged like a tidal wave.

Seeing Su Lianxue's tears, Chu Mohan was startled, thinking that his wound was hurting again, and hurriedly called out, "Old man, come and take a look."

Then, an elderly man with a slightly hunched back and gray hair stepped forward. Su Lianxue thought to herself that this must be the military doctor they had mentioned.

After taking her pulse for a while, the military doctor stopped and left, and then instructed Xiao Tao to check on the condition of Su Lianxue's chest injury.

Xiao Tao: "Miss's wound is gradually scabbing over."

After hearing this, the military doctor stroked his beard and said to Su Lianxue, "Miss, the wound will itch when it scabs over. At this time, you must be patient and not scratch it with your hands, otherwise your wound will have a scar."

Su Lianxue opened her mouth, wanting to answer, but was shocked to find that she could hardly utter even the simplest sound. Her throat was extremely dry, as if it were filled with sand.

Su Lianxue could only stare at the military doctor, then nodded helplessly.

Seeing Su Lianxue's appearance, the military doctor knew she was eager to speak: "Miss, don't rush to speak. You've been ill for a long time and have only just woken up. It's normal that you can't speak."

Chu Mohan also lowered his voice slightly and said softly, "Just focus on recovering from your injuries. There's no need to rush to speak. It's not too late to talk when your injuries have healed a bit. Whether you are a spy or have other motives, put away all those inappropriate thoughts."

What is a spy? And what kind of thoughts would they have? The moment Su Lianxue heard these words, her heart jolted. She suddenly realized that the general regarded her as an enemy.

Su Lianxue opened her mouth again, eager to explain, but at this moment, she could only shake her head helplessly, trying to show that she was not.

Upon closer reflection, it's understandable. The situation at the border is complex and unpredictable; the appearance of any stranger could indicate ill intentions.

In this border region, where war rages and tensions are high, every subtle change could conceal a great crisis.

As a general, Chu Mohan had to remain highly vigilant and rigorously scrutinize every stranger. After all, the slightest carelessness could bring annihilation to the entire Central Plains.

At this moment, Su Lianxue could not offer any further explanation, but there would be opportunities to express her stance in the future.

The person who brought her warmth in her past life, she will repay this kindness this time.

The military doctor rewrote the prescription, which mainly consisted of nourishing medicines. He then said to Chu Mohan, "These are all relatively mild medicines, and we will add some nourishing ingredients."

"Miss is weak. Taking too much medicine is not a good thing. You should rely on food to nourish your body. Only in this way can you achieve the desired effect."

After a brief pause, he continued, "But the northern desert is desolate, so young Chu, you'll have to put in a lot of effort."

Having grown up in the military for many years, Chu Mohan had absolutely no idea how to care for women. He couldn't help but wonder what kind of effort he needed to put in. He would make sure she had plenty of food and drink.

Chu Mohan then said to the military doctor, "With people serving us here, why bother with anything else? We haven't even found out who she is yet. What if she really is a spy?"
