The Bully General's Spiritual Husband

Cheng Yu had just stepped out of Li Zhe's tent when he saw Shen Jin, panting heavily, being stopped by soldiers outside the camp.

Yin Baicai wasn't stopped because the soldier who went to deliver the message came with him and called him "wife," so the guards naturally let him in.

"Who is coming?"

"Cough cough cough... I, I'm here to find... to find Xiaobai—your wife."

Cheng Yu walked over. "He's the person I called. Let him through."

"Young General." The two bowed.

Cheng Yu nodded and led Shen Jin, who had been stopped, inside.

Shen Jin hurriedly asked, "What happened? Is Scarface alright?"

Cheng Yu shook his head, "It's nothing, I just got a minor injury."

When Li Zhe fought Hu Rulie, he was accidentally slashed in the chest. Hu Rulie, who had been fighting his opponent for many years, naturally did not fare well either, and his arm was almost cut off by Li Zhe.

Unable to bear the pain, Hu Rulie immediately retreated and returned.

Shen Jin nodded knowingly, then looked down and immediately saw a blood-red knife wound on Cheng Yu's right hand. "You're injured?"

"It's nothing." Cheng Yu raised his injured hand without a care and wiped away the blood beads on it.

Seeing that Cheng Yu himself didn't care, Shen Jin decided to keep quiet.

Knowing that Li Zhe was alright, he was relieved. After all, Yin Baicai's panic at the time was genuine, and he didn't want his friend to become a widow.

An ambiguous atmosphere permeated the tent.

Yin Baicai glared at Li Zhe, "Let go, Li bully, don't blame me for being rough if your wound reopens."

Li Zhe knew when to stop; if he continued to hug the little liar, he might scare him away.

He pretended to cough and said, "Ah Yin, I'm thirsty."

Yin Baicai looked at Li Zhe's chapped lips, walked to the table, poured a glass of water, and brought it over. "Drink up."

Li Zhe pretended that he couldn't lift his hand, and Yin Baicai had no choice but to personally hold the water cup and feed the water to Li Zhe.

"Alright, I'll feed you, drink up!"

Even while drinking water, Li Zhe kept his eyes fixed intently on Yin Baicai.

Yin Baicai looked away shyly, waiting for Li Zhe to finish drinking his water.

"Alright, you rest. I'll go back to the manor and bring you a change of clothes."

Li Zhe thought about the many things he still needed to handle in the army, and nodded, "Okay, while I'm gone, take good care of yourself and Xiao Mo."

Yin Baicai pouted. Why did it feel like Li the bully was treating her like a little kid?

Helping Li Zhe lie down, she pulled the blanket up for him: "You should rest. I'll go back and make you some nourishing soup. It takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone. The Northern Region City still needs you!"

Li Zhe remained silent, his eyes still fixed on Yin Baicai. It felt really good to have a husband; someone was always thinking about him.

Unable to bear Li Zhe's gaze, Yin Baicai forcibly covered Li Zhe's eyes, saying, "Close your eyes and take a nap."

After saying that, he left Li Zhe's tent.

Li Zhe opened his eyes and watched Yin Baicai leave quietly, feeling slightly reluctant.

As Yin Baicai stepped out of the tent, she saw Shen Jin and the other person standing at the door. "Why are you here?"

"I'm just trying to comfort you because I'm afraid you'll cry yourself to death if Scarface really gets hurt."

"Tch, I won't cry!" Yin Baicai said smugly.

"Oh... really? Then who was walking so fast just now that even I couldn't keep up?" Shen Jin said with a smile in her eyes.

Yin Baicai knew Shen Jin was teasing her, so she changed the subject, "Haha, let's go back, we haven't had lunch yet!"

"Row."

Cheng Yu said to Yin Baicai, "Don't worry, brother-in-law, I will take good care of my brother."

"Okay, I'll bring you some nourishing soup later."

News of Li Zhe's injury spread throughout Beiyu City in no time, causing widespread panic.

"I heard the general is injured. I hope he's alright!" The tone was filled with worry.

"No, we must trust the general. He is the guardian of our Yan Kingdom. He will be alright."

……

When they returned, Cheng Yu arranged for a carriage to escort Yin Baicai and her companion. Listening to the whispers of the people outside, Yin Baicai thought to herself: Li the bully did not protect them in vain, seeing how worried the people were about him.

The moment the wind blew through the carriage curtain, Yin Baicai's face was seen by a figure in light red in the corner.

The woman's eyes widened viciously. What was going on? She was absolutely certain she hadn't misjudged him; the man in the carriage was the jinx. How could he be in Northern Region City?

The maid's call interrupted the woman's thoughts, "Lianniang, we should go back now. If the madam finds out you're staying here, you'll be scolded."

The woman lowered her eyes in disgust. All she did was nag. It was so annoying. Could the business of Tingyao not continue without her? And she even sent that damned little bitch to keep an eye on her all the time. She couldn't do anything comfortably.

Just as the woman turned around, Yin Baicai happened to see her figure. It looked so familiar; she felt like she had seen her somewhere before.

Seeing him staring at the street corner, Shen Jin asked, "What's wrong? Is there someone suspicious?"

"It's nothing, maybe I'm seeing things. I think I saw a familiar figure, or maybe it's just a resemblance."

The shaman applied a dark brown mass to Hu Rulie's right arm and advised, "Zuo Xian, your arm needs to rest for a while. You mustn't move it anymore, otherwise..."

Even though the witch doctor hadn't finished speaking, Hu Rulie knew the worst possible outcome: after nearly a year apart, Li Zhe's martial arts skills had improved again.

If I hadn't stopped in time, my arm would probably be ruined.

With eyes like those of a hungry wolf, Hu Rulie stared at his injured arm, his eyes brimming with intense hatred.

I've been wronged by Li Zhe time and time again. This kid is sent by heaven to bring me bad luck.

If open methods don't work, it seems I'll have to resort to covert tactics.

Wan Yanhe secretly learned that Hu Rulie's arm would be unusable for a while, and he was overjoyed. Hu Rulie was injured, so let's see how he can command the battle now.

Now the great responsibility of leading the army should be handed over to me, Wanyan He.

The informant flattered, "Congratulations, Right Wise One, you've got what you wanted. The command of the army will definitely be handed over to you."

Wan Yanhe couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Hahaha—"

Just as Wanyanhe had expected, news of Hu Rulie's injury reached the royal court. No matter how much the Queen Mother tried to persuade him, it was no use. The Chanyu immediately ordered that Hu Rulie's command be handed over to Wanyanhe.

Wan Yanhe happily entered Hu Rulie's tent, "Zuo Xian, please hand over the command token!"

Hu Rulie took the command token from his pocket with his uninjured left hand and threw it on the ground. "Don't be so smug."

Both were among the top warriors in the Kingdom of Wally, and their discord was common knowledge.

With Hu Rulie injured and Wan Yanhe gaining power, the forces in the camp all sided with one side.

Wanyanhe disregarded Hu Rulie's humiliation, picked up the command token he had thrown on the ground, and whispered in Hu Rulie's ear, "Zuo Xian must take good care of himself! Don't waste the Chanyu's kindness." After saying this, he left Hu Rulie's tent triumphantly.

Hu Rulie turned his head, his thick beard standing on end. "You think you can defeat Li Zhe when a villain gains power?"

It wasn't that he looked down on Wan Yanhe, but rather that he had fought with Li Zhe for many years, and Wan Yanhe was simply no match for him.

In a battle, it is most important to avoid changing the commander-in-chief. This time, Hu Rulie was replaced due to illness, which made the Xiongnu soldiers feel uneasy. Could they still defeat the Yan state?

Even Zuo Xian was injured; the God of War of Li Kingdom truly lived up to his reputation.

The letter sent to the capital has arrived.

Yan Kingdom Imperial City

Morning assembly

"Report! A letter from the Northern Region—"

"Xuan."
