Rebirth: Find a General as Your Backer

In fact, ever since the general announced that he had requested an imperial decree to grant them marriages, the women in the mansion who had been sent by others have become much more comfortable.

For example, if there were any fine items, Su Lianxue would instruct the housekeeper to distribute them to everyone. After all, being women themselves, most of them had a great fondness for jewelry and clothing.

However, Su Lianxue was also wary of these people. The general had said that many of them were sent by people with ulterior motives, so they had to be careful to prevent them from passing on messages to the outside world.

......

That day, as usual, Su Lianxue sat in the carriage and slowly drove towards the warehouse. The carriage moved smoothly along the road, the sound of the wheels rolling seemed to tell of the tranquility of time.

However, this tranquility was soon broken.

Along the way, a local man, looking anxious, hurried towards the carriage.

The well-trained guards immediately stepped forward and stopped him. Once stopped, the man was frantic and cried out from outside the carriage, "Miss Su, help!" His voice was filled with urgency and desperation.

Hearing the shouts, Su Lianxue frowned slightly and immediately asked, "What happened?" The man's eyes were full of anxiety and helplessness as he said urgently, "My wife is pregnant, but she is having a difficult labor and the baby can't be born."

I came to the city to find a doctor, but I couldn't find a suitable one anywhere. Everyone in the city says you are skilled in medicine, so I've come specifically to beg you to save my life.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Tao immediately flew into a rage and said, "Our young lady is still an unmarried woman, how could she know how to deliver babies? You should go find a midwife."

The man's face was filled with helplessness and despair, tears welling up in his eyes. He said, "I really have no other choice. I've searched everywhere but can't find him. Miss, please help me go and take a look, even if it's just giving me some advice."

Su Lianxue thought to herself, judging from this person's appearance, he must have really been driven to desperation to do this.

A hint of pity flashed in her beautiful eyes. Thinking this, she said to Xiao Tao, "Go back to the manor quickly and find Granny Zhang and the military doctor to see if they have any ideas."

I'll go with Xiaomei and the guards to check the situation first; after all, lives are at stake, and we can't delay."

Xuan Ying's heart tightened, and he instinctively wanted to stop Su Lianxue. He sensed that there might be unknown dangers on this trip, and how could a young lady of noble birth be allowed to take such risks so easily?

But when he saw Su Lianxue's firm and urgent eyes, filled with concern for the lives of others and her fervent desire to save them, he swallowed back the words of dissuasion that were on the tip of his tongue.

Xuan Ying pondered to herself: "Miss has always been kind-hearted; she certainly wouldn't stand idly by in such a situation. But this situation is far too urgent, and who knows how many risks are lurking within? Moreover, how could this person have found Miss so accurately under such an urgent circumstance? It's truly perplexing."

These doubts swirled in Xuan Ying's mind, and the more he thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed. So, he moved closer to Xuan Chen and lowered his voice, saying, "This is very strange. How could he find Miss in such an emergency? I have a feeling there's something fishy going on. We need to be extra careful and make sure Miss isn't in danger."

Xuan Chen nodded slightly, his expression becoming serious.

Su Lianxue followed the man to the outskirts of the city. They passed through a dense forest where the surroundings were quiet, with only the occasional chirping of birds breaking the silence.

However, this tranquility was instantly shattered as a large number of people suddenly surged out from both sides like a tidal wave. These people all had fierce expressions, held weapons, and came on menacingly.

Faced with this sudden turn of events, Xuan Ying and Xuan Chen remained completely calm. They reacted instantly, moving to the carriage at top speed and firmly protecting Su Lianxue in the middle.

Xiao Mei, who was sitting in the carriage with Su Lianxue, also clung tightly to Su Lianxue, even though she was trembling with fear.

The guards' eyes were resolute, their weapons gripped tightly, ready for the fierce battle to come.

Xuan Ying glared at the enemies around him, his heart filled with anger and vigilance. He secretly vowed to protect the young lady.

Xuan Chen focused intently on observing the enemy's movements, ready to respond to any attack at any time.

The battle was about to begin. The enemies pounced like hungry wolves, and Xuan Ying took the lead in meeting them head-on, wielding his longsword with flashing, silvery movements. He was agile, leaping and crouching, every move brimming with power.

An enemy raised his knife to strike, but Xuan Ying dodged to the side and swung his sword in the process, the blade slicing across the enemy's arm, blood splattering everywhere.

Xuan Chen was not to be outdone. He wielded his spear with the power of a dragon emerging from the sea, his aura overwhelming. He thrust forward suddenly, his spear piercing through an enemy's chest. The enemy screamed and collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.

Enemies kept pouring in, and although Xuan Ying and Xuan Chen were highly skilled in martial arts, they gradually began to feel the strain.

Seeing that the enemy's numbers were increasing, Xuan Ying knew that the situation was critical. Without hesitation, he immediately sent a distress signal into the sky.

Meanwhile, the masked Crown Prince Ulchi was also feeling immense pressure. He had meticulously planned this kidnapping, believing that Su Lianxue was only accompanied by a few guards and that he could easily capture her.

But now, he realized he had underestimated his opponent. Watching his men fiercely battle Xuan Ying, Xuan Chen, and the others, yet unable to gain the upper hand, a sense of anxiety welled up within him.

Therefore, the eldest prince issued a strict order to those around him: at all costs, they must finish the battle quickly.

After all, this was outside the city, and Chu Mohan could arrive to provide support at any time. Once Chu Mohan arrived, his plan would completely fail. Wuerqi gritted his teeth, his eyes revealing determination. He decided to take a desperate gamble and capture Su Lianxue.

Thinking of this, he gripped the knife tightly in his hand, his eyes flashing with a resolute light.

With the close cooperation of his guards, he raised the sharp blade in his hand high, the blade gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

With a roar, he mustered all his strength and slammed down on the carriage door. A loud crack echoed as the door was instantly cleaved open by the powerful impact.

Amidst the flying sawdust, Xuan Ying and Xuan Chen's hearts clenched. Their eyes were filled with anxiety and unease; they were like wild beasts trapped in a cage, desperately wanting to break through the enemy's encirclement and protect their young lady.

However, the enemy surged in like a raging tide, relentlessly surrounding them and making escape impossible. They brandished their weapons with incredible ferocity, trying to fight their way out, but the enemy was simply too numerous, and every step forward required immense effort.

Sweat beaded on Xuan Ying's forehead as he desperately fended off the enemy's attacks, glancing out of the corner of his eye towards the carriage. His heart was filled with regret and self-reproach, hating himself for failing to protect his young mistress.
