The Bully General's Spiritual Husband

After all the guests had left, Wan Rui returned to his courtyard and threw everything he could smash or break on the ground.

"You scoundrel, you wild boy... You're making me so angry, making me so angry."

Wanfu, who was waiting cautiously to the side, was trembling all over when Wanrui suddenly shouted, "What are you standing there for? Useless thing, get over here now!"

Wanfu walked over in fearful shuffling steps. Wanrui glared at him and pinched Wanfu hard, venting his resentment as he called out, "You scoundrel..."

Wanfu gritted his teeth, tears streaming down his face.

On the way back, Li Zhe asked, "How did A Yin manage to compose such a beautiful poem?"

Yin Baicai raised an eyebrow and smiled, "It's a secret."

Li Zhe stopped asking, since he already knew that his young husband had more secrets than this. He would tell them when he wanted to.

Cheng Yu did not go to the military camp today. Early in the morning, he instructed the servants in his mansion to cook chicken soup and then ran to the general's mansion with it.

When Shen Jin woke up, she was startled to see Cheng Yu sitting blankly at the table in her room.

"You...why are you here?"

Cheng Yu didn't answer his question, but brought over the water for washing up, saying, "Wash up and have some soup."

When Shen Jin saw the food box on the table, she knew that it definitely didn't belong to the General's Mansion.

After washing up, Cheng Yu ladled out the soup and handed it to Shen Jin, who looked completely bewildered.

"Drink it, it's good for your health." This soup was prepared by the servants in the mansion, who had been waiting outside the kitchen door since early morning.

Shen Jin held the soup and drank it all in one gulp, like a cow drinking water.

After they finished drinking, the room fell silent.

Shen Jin pretended to look down at her shoes. Cheng Yu finished cleaning up the soup bowl and sat down silently. He didn't know how to start the conversation.

He's usually a quiet, reserved person, and can only stare blankly at Shen Jin's jet-black hair.

An awkward atmosphere filled the air.

On the way back home, a dirty little beggar was surrounded and beaten by a group of people on a street corner.

Various vulgarities gushed out: "You little bastard, hand over the money now, or you'll regret it."

Hu Nu'er, whose sharp eyes were obscured by her bangs, pretended to beg for mercy, covering her head, "Stop hitting me, Liu Da and his gang have stolen all my money."

Sitting on his horse, Yin Baicai couldn't stand the scene of bullying others, and he saw that the person being bullied seemed to be the little wolf cub he had met last time.

"Li, you bully, let's go take a look. These thugs are really audacious, a whole group of them bullying just one person," Yin Baicai said angrily.

Li Zhe had been bullied by his fellow villagers a lot when he was young, so he naturally couldn't bear to see such a scene.

He rode forward and shouted, "Get out of here! Don't force me to take action!"

Upon seeing Li Zhe's tall and muscular physique and his distinguished attire, the leader uttered harsh words to Hu Nu'er and then ran away.

"You little bastard, you just wait, you're lucky today."

Hu Nu'er also recognized Yin Baicai. This was the same person who had meddled in the matter last time. How come he had seen this scene twice?

I really want to kill all these meddlesome people; I don't need the pity of those damned Yan people.

He looked up and saw Li Zhe standing behind Yin Baicai. He immediately recognized him. After all, who in the Northern Region didn't know the terrifying scar at the corner of the General's eye?

I heard that the general has come to the Wan residence for an appointment. This is also my chance to sneak into the general's residence. I didn't have high hopes. It's like finding a needle in a haystack, but it came to me without any effort.

Hu Nu'er concealed the fierceness in her eyes and knelt down: "Thank you, General, for saving my life."

For a moment, Li Zhe was in a daze. He felt he couldn't be wrong; the boy just now seemed to have harbored ill intentions towards A Yin.

Li Zhe looked down at Hu Nu'er kneeling on the ground without showing any emotion. He wanted to see what Hu Nu'er was up to. He was busy with military affairs and wanted to keep all uncontrollable factors under control.

"Get up!"

Hu Nuer looked up, and Li Zhe saw his features clearly. He understood that Hu Nuer was a hybrid of Yan and Wali, which explained why those people bullied him.

There are a few descendants of mixed-race individuals from both countries living in the city. They are not recognized by either country, and their lives are naturally filled with hardship.

"Little brat, do you still remember me?"

Hu Nu'er pretended to be kind and nodded, "I remember, thank you for saving me last time, young master."

Yin Baicai scratched his head. "You're welcome." He knew that young boys like this didn't like being seen in a disheveled state, and he used to be the same way.

Seeing Hu Nu'er dressed so thinly in the cold weather, Yin Baicai felt a pang of pity. She remembered how she had only recovered thanks to the help of Uncle Xiaopang and the others.

He whispered close to Li Zhe's ear, "Brother Li, do we need any servants in our household? How about we let this little brat help me with the chores?"

Li Zhe also wanted to know where Hu Nuer’s malice towards Yin Baicai came from. Yin had helped him twice, yet she had shown such malice. Although it was brief, he had still managed to catch it.

"Okay, whatever you want," Li Zhe said indulgently.

Yin Baicai happily punched Li Zhe in the chest, "You're a true friend."

"Hey kid, there's a job for you, do you want it or not?"

Hu Nu'er nodded: "Yes, as long as I have food to eat, I'll do any dirty or hard work."

"Alright, come to the General's Mansion tomorrow to report for duty. Tell Uncle He that I sent you."

Hu Nuer knelt down again and kowtowed to Yin Baicai and the other person, saying, "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir." She thought to herself: What a fool. It seems that the rumors in the city recently were true. The wild boy that the general brought back was indeed from a small place. He is so easy to fool.

Seeing that Yin Baicai had already made arrangements, Li Zhe stopped the people from mounting their horses and said, "Let's go." However, when his gaze fell on Hu Nuer kneeling on the ground, a sharp glint flashed across his eyes.

After returning to his residence, Yin Baicai left Li Zhe and went to Shen Jin's courtyard. He had to tell his brother Shen about what had happened at the Wan residence that day.

The two, who were already silent, finally broke the ice when Yin Baicai arrived.

Shen Jin was dozing off by the charcoal fire, while Cheng Yu stood guard beside her to prevent her from accidentally bumping into the fire pit while she was dozing.

"Brother Jin, let me tell you, I had so much fun today..."

When Cheng Yu saw that Yin Baicai had come to accompany Shen Jin, he voluntarily left his room and gave his seat to Yin Baicai.

When Li Zhe saw Cheng Yu coming to the front hall, he instructed him to investigate Hu Nu'er's background.

Hu Nu'er was still young, unaware that her malicious gaze towards Yin Baicai would bring her harm.

The Wally army is intensifying its training, preparing for a surprise attack on Laba Festival tomorrow.

They migrated from their hometowns in the freezing cold to set up camp and attack the city, while the people of Yan were celebrating a festival in the city. Let them not be able to celebrate their festival.

Into the night

As evening approached, the grain supplies escorted from the imperial city successfully arrived at the military camp.

He Qi led a group of men to carry out the handover work, and the lit torches illuminated the area in front of the camp.

He Qi led his men to carefully inspect each cart of grain, when suddenly a soldier shouted, "Oh no! Captain He, this grain is infested with worms!"

"What? Everyone, check carefully immediately! Someone go and report to the general."

The leader of the grain convoy was dumbfounded and stepped forward, saying, "No, it's impossible. Everything we transported from the capital was in good condition; there couldn't be any worms."

After seeing it clearly, he collapsed to the ground in a panic, wondering where things had gone wrong.

Just as Li Zhe finished helping Li Mo wash up and carried him out of the bathroom, he heard a soldier report.

"General, there's a problem with the grain supplies sent from the capital."
