Rebirth: Find a General as Your Backer

Xiao Tao said, "Miss, why does this Miss Wang sound like she's showing affection for me?"

Su Lianxue smiled upon hearing this: "The general is so heroic and extraordinary, how could any woman not be attracted to him?"

"Oh, thank you for the compliment, beautiful lady." The general's deep and magnetic voice rang out, carrying a hint of barely perceptible pleasure. His gaze was fixed on Su Lianxue, his eyes full of tenderness and doting. "It seems that Lianxue is quite fond of this general."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Tao and Su Lianxue realized that the general had already arrived. Xiao Tao hurriedly lowered her head, while a hint of surprise flashed in Su Lianxue's beautiful eyes. The two of them quickly bowed.

Changfeng, standing to the side, couldn't help but roll his eyes inwardly after hearing the general's words, muttering to himself: The general has truly changed. No, to be precise, in front of Miss Su, the general is a completely different person. The usually imposing and stern general is now like a gentle spring breeze, full of tenderness.

Su Lianxue hurriedly went to greet the general. Chu Mohan's deep eyes were only filled with Su Lianxue's image. He took Su Lianxue's hand, and his broad and warm palm conveyed endless love.

The two sat down, and Chu Mohan pulled Su Lianxue into his arms, saying, "Don't worry, in this general's eyes, there is only you."

Su Lianxue's cheeks flushed slightly, her shy appearance like a blooming peach blossom. She gave the general a reproachful look and said softly, "There are still people here."

Xiao Tao and Chang Feng quickly lowered their heads and hurried away, not daring to disturb the General and Miss Su.

Chu Mohan replied, "Where is anyone?"

Su Lianxue was speechless for a moment, and sighed inwardly, thinking that this person's skin was really thick.

However, this method was indeed effective, and Su Lianxue felt quite pleased with herself.

"If you don't want them to come, you can refuse," Chu Mohan said gently, his eyes full of concern, afraid that Su Lianxue would suffer the slightest grievance.

“Fortunately, I also wanted to get to know Wang Jingnian. So, there’s no reason not to see his family when they come.” Su Lianxue looked at the general and replied softly.

Chu Mohan gently stroked Su Lianxue's face, the delicate touch filling him with boundless affection. "Don't wrong yourself. If you want to get to know him, just find me. With me here, he wouldn't dare to have any bad intentions."

Su Lianxue smiled gently, a smile as warm and bright as the spring sunshine. "I know the general is intelligent and capable, but I also want to give it a try. Actually, they came mainly because they care about me. Miss Wang is also lively and cheerful, which is very nice."

Chu Mohan smiled indulgently: "As you wish." Those two simple words were filled with endless love and indulgence.

After a moment of silence, Chu Mohan revealed a hint of worry in his eyes. "News has come from the capital that your maternal grandfather has left. I have been sending people to gather information along the way, so please don't worry."

Upon hearing this, Su Lianxue felt a surge of sadness and thought to herself: Grandpa, please don't let anything happen to you, otherwise Lianxue will never have peace of mind for the rest of her life.

Chu Mohan continued, "I suspect your grandfather might want to leave the pass and go to the Canglang Kingdom to find you, so I have specifically reminded everyone at the major passes that they will report back as soon as there is any news."

Su Lianxue was deeply moved, tears welling in her eyes. "Thank you, General." Chu Mohan said, "There's no need for thanks between us. You will be my wife, and your affairs are my affairs."

Su Lianxue nestled tightly in the general's arms, feeling his warmth and strength.

The two nestled together quietly, neither speaking, as if time had stood still, and the whole world consisted only of the two of them.

......

Wang Jingnian was busy checking the household registration list, verifying each person's information with the people in the city.

This task was enormous; however, the general hadn't lost his temper like this in a long time, and this was indeed a dereliction of duty on his part. Therefore, he had to give the general an explanation within the stipulated time, no matter what.

As Wang Jingnian quickly flipped through the roster, he muttered to himself, "This time, I absolutely cannot afford to make any mistakes. I must give the general a satisfactory answer as soon as possible."

Since the city of Mofang hadn't been this tense in a long time, the people were initially talking about Feifei.

However, when the people learned that Miss Su had almost been kidnapped by villains, they spontaneously organized themselves. Because of the clinic opened by Su Lianxue and the free medicine packs, many people were grateful. So these people prepared to report their recent situation to the general.

Upon learning of this, the general opened the council hall in the mansion so that local people could come freely.

The owner of the teahouse by the city wall hurried into the council hall, bowed respectfully to the chief clerk inside, and said, "Sir, not long ago, two people came to my teahouse for tea. Although they were dressed in our local clothing, they were extremely tall and looked furtive. They also mentioned Miss Su's Jishetang, a tavern, and something called Tuoya. At the time, they spoke very softly, so I didn't hear them very clearly."

The registrar frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Do you still remember the physical characteristics of these two people?"

After a moment's thought, the teahouse owner replied, "One of them has a black mole on his face, and the other has particularly thick eyebrows."

An elderly woman who identified herself as Aunt Li squeezed into the council hall and said anxiously, "Sir, a few days ago I went to the tavern to get wine for my husband and heard a woman's voice. Anyway, the language she was speaking sounded like a foreign language."

The registrar's expression hardened, and he asked, "Did you hear what they said?"

Aunt Li shook her head and said with annoyance, "Oh dear, that woman's voice was too soft, I didn't hear it clearly, but it didn't sound like our local dialect."

Others who had received help from Su Lianxue also came forward to recount their recent experiences. A young man excitedly said, "Sir, Miss Su is a good person. We can't let bad people hurt her. A few days ago, I saw some strangers loitering suspiciously near Jishetang."

The registrar nodded and said solemnly, "Rest assured, our general will protect Miss Su and bring these villains to justice."

The chief clerk of the general's mansion took notes on each person's account, and after completing the notes, he presented them to the general.

After carefully reading through them one by one, the general became particularly interested in one particular point.

This is the account given by the guards who were initially responsible for protecting Su Lianxue.

He said that once, while accompanying a young lady on an outing, a man attempted to harass her. After careful identification, he concluded that the man was none other than Qiu San, a notorious rogue in the city. Qiu San was infamous throughout the city, known for his idleness and troublemaking.
