The Bully General's Spiritual Husband

Second day

Wang Shen found a few of his trusted confidants and replaced half of the thirty shi of grain that was to be sent to the Northern Region with old rice that had been stored for many years. Some of the rice was already infested with insects and had been eaten.

"My lord, the matter has been taken care of."

Wang Shen waved his hand, "Alright, go down. This matter must not be known to anyone."

"My subordinate understands."

two days later

This batch of grain, which was mostly mixed with old rice, was sent to the northern region.

News of the change of commander in the Kingdom of Wali has reached the Northern Region City, and Li Zhe is explaining the upcoming battle plan to his generals.

"Report! The Wally army is attacking!"

Cheng Yu stood up. "Brother, I'll go out and fight."

Li Zhe nodded, "Okay, be careful in everything."

Ever since Wan Yanhe obtained command of the troops, he has only wanted to prove his ability. In just two days, despite the low morale and numerous wounded soldiers, he immediately led his troops to taunt the city gates of the Northern Region.

Upon hearing the sound of the war drums, Yin Baicai was in a daze. Had the tyrant Li come out of the city to meet the enemy again?

The Kingdom of Wali is truly an unkillable cockroach; they only had a two-day ceasefire and rest before starting again.

"Uncle He, go to the market and buy two chickens. I'll stew them for Li the bully and bring them to him later so he can have some nourishment."

Uncle He was also very worried. The general had just been injured and the enemy was already making noise. He had no choice but to go into battle despite his injury. He needed to take good care of himself.

"Madam, I'll be right there."

Li Mo sat obediently by the brazier reading a book, asking Shen Jin next to him about any words he didn't recognize.

How do you pronounce the character "瑾叔叔"?

Shen Jin was also happy to teach Li Mo. In his opinion, Li Mo was extremely intelligent. At only four years old, he could remember many words after just one reading.

This child is destined for greatness.

Wan Yanhe looked at Cheng Yu, who was leading the troops to meet the enemy, and felt displeased. Why was it this kid who came? Li Zhe actually looked down on him so much.

Wan Yan raised his head and said disdainfully, "You are not worthy to be my opponent. Call Li Zhe out."

Cheng Yu was too lazy to waste words with him and thrust his sword toward Wan Yanhe's chest.

Caught off guard by Cheng Yu's attack, Wan Yanhe immediately went into defensive position.

Seeing that their commander had already made a move, the soldiers behind them also joined the fight.

Wrapped in horsehide, the stench of blood lingered on the vast expanse of yellow earth.

Cheng Yu was ruthless, and Wan Yanhe had no choice but to use all his strength. He had really underestimated him. He was indeed worthy of being General Cheng's only son.

The two sides entered a fierce battle, and the fighting became intense.

Wan Yanhe couldn't get anything good from Cheng Yu, and Cheng Yu couldn't find any flaws in him either.

In an instant, a general from the Kingdom of Wali was killed by He Qi, causing Wan Yanhe to be momentarily distracted and reveal an opening. Cheng Yu raised his hand and stabbed Wan Yanhe with a sword at the speed of light.

Fortunately, Wan Yanhe's armor was sturdy and withstood a lot of Cheng Yu's force; otherwise, a huge bloody hole would have appeared in his chest.

He immediately turned his warhorse around and shouted, "Retreat!"

Upon hearing the order, the Wali soldiers hurriedly retreated.

Cheng Yu watched Wan Yanhe run away, his brows furrowed. He had never fought Wan Yanhe before, and he was a formidable opponent. If he was not careful, he could even get injured.

Cheng Yu glanced at the bandaged wound on his hand, which was bleeding again, and said dismissively, "Let's call it a day."

Yin Baicai heard the drum signaling the end of the battle, lifted the lid of the chicken soup simmering on the stove, and saw that it was already well-seasoned. She then ladled it out and put it into a food box.

"Uncle He, I'm going to the military camp. Tell Xiao Mo and the others to eat first, they don't need to wait for me."

Uncle He immediately instructed one of the gatekeepers to fetch a horse from the stable for Yin Baicai, hitch it to the carriage, and Yin Baicai climbed on with her things.

Upon arriving at the military camp, the guards, seeing that the visitor was Yin Baicai, immediately allowed him to pass.

"lady."

The scream that Yin Baicai made in front of Li Zhe's tent last time was known throughout the entire army camp. Everyone knew that their general had a feisty husband.

Yin Baicai had gradually gotten used to this title, after all, Uncle He and the others in the mansion called her that.

Yin Baicai carried the food box and headed towards Li Zhe's tent.

The guards in front of the tent lifted the tent flap for him.

Looking at Li Zhe, who was sitting upright at his desk writing, and the spotless armor beside him, Yin Baicai wondered, "Could it be that Li the bully didn't go to the battlefield?"

Li Zhe had already noticed Yin Baicai when she came in. He looked up and asked, "Ah Yin, what brings you here?"

"I'll bring you some nourishing soup. By the way, Li the Bully, you didn't go to the battlefield?"

Li Zhe put away what he was writing and came over. "He didn't go. Xiao Yu led his troops to meet the enemy."

"Okay, I was worried that your wound might reopen. Come here and try this, I made it myself." Yin Baicai opened the food box and brought out the steaming chicken soup.

"Ah Yin, you haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll have them go and prepare some food."

Li Zhe pointed towards the door and ordered, "Go and bring lunch over!"

The guard outside the door replied, "Yes, General."

Soon, his subordinates brought Li Zhe's lunch into the tent. Li Zhe thoughtfully served rice to Yin Baicai. He had been staying at the military camp to recover from his injuries for the past two days, and the two of them hadn't eaten together for a long time.

Li Zhe was very happy that Yin Baicai could have dinner with him. He hadn't realized it before when she was in front of him, but after not seeing her for two days, he really missed her.

Is this what Brother Chen and the others meant by missing their wives and children? I've never felt this way before. We've only been apart for two short days, but my heart already feels like it's back home.

Yin Baicai left half of the soup, saying, "This half is for Xiaoyu to drink when he comes back. Li Eba, this bowl is yours. Drink it while it's hot. I've been stewing it all morning!"

Li Zhe took the chicken soup handed to him by Yin Baicai, drank it, and felt as if it were sweet dew entering his parched heart.

Yin Baicai picked up the rice that Li Zhe had served her on the table and ate it heartily. It must be said that the food in this camp was indeed quite good.

Suddenly, Yin Baicai had an idea. He realized that it was winter and there was a shortage of edible vegetables, so he decided to go back and study greenhouse cultivation.

Let's see if we can make something of it, so that even if it's not sold on the street, we can still make hot pot with vegetables grown in greenhouses.

When it gets cold, a steaming hot pot is just the perfect thing.

Yin Baicai told Li Zhe her idea. Li Zhe thought that Yin Baicai must be bored staying in the mansion all day, so he agreed: "Okay, I remember there are a few empty rooms in the backyard of the General's Mansion. You can try there."

After finishing his meal, Yin Baicai prepared to leave, as he was busy going back to implement his planting plan.

He told Li Zhe not to forget to give the remaining half of the chicken soup to Cheng Yu.

Li Zhe escorted the man to the door and saw Cheng Yu leading his troops back.

"You're back, let's eat first!"

Yin Baicai told Cheng Yu, "I made you some soup, remember to drink it."

Cheng Yu cupped his hands in thanks: "Thank you, brother-in-law."

When Cheng Yu raised his hand, Yin Baicai saw the bloodstains on the gauze on his hand and said, "You're injured. Li Eba, you should take Xiao Yu back to get his medicine. I'll go back first."

After Yin Baicai left, Li Zhe handed the wound medicine to Cheng Yu, saying, "Apply the medicine first."

Cheng Yu removed the blood-stained gauze from his hand, poured the medicine on it, and Li Zhe found some gauze to help him re-bandage it.

She placed the steaming hot chicken soup in front of Cheng Yu and said, "Drink up, it tastes great as it was made by A Yin herself."

Cheng Yu couldn't help but glance at Li Zhe with curiosity. He couldn't believe he had heard the pride in his brother's voice!

I used to think my brother was cold-hearted and ruthless, no less so than myself. But I never expected him to change so much after meeting my sister-in-law.

Li Zhe seemed to notice the change in his tone, so he coughed, took the gauze off the table, sat down at his desk again, and continued writing what he had just finished.

Cheng Yu took a sip of chicken soup. Not bad. He wondered what that audacious playboy was good at.

Shen Jin, far away in the General's Mansion, sneezed and wrapped his clothes tighter around himself. It seemed he needed to put on another thicker layer of clothing, lest he catch a cold.

Li Mo quickly came over and pulled Shen Jin, "Uncle Jin, warm yourself by the fire."

"Good boy." Shen Jin pinched Li Mo's little face.
