The Bully General's Spiritual Husband

After applying the medicine, Yin Baicai looked up and saw someone staring straight at her.

Her face turned bright red as she recalled what had just happened between the two of them.

He could barely speak properly, "Well... well, now that it's bandaged up, I... I should go back."

Without waiting for Li Zhe's reply, he took off running as if there was a ghost behind him.

Li Zhe saw Yin Baicai fleeing in panic, and a low laugh escaped from the corner of his mouth.

"He's hiding away again. Once the war is over, there will be plenty of time to have a good chat with my shy husband about life."

Xiao Si, who was waiting outside the tent, saw Yin Baicai slapping her cheeks repeatedly and was completely baffled.

This lady seems to be possessed.

At this moment, Yin Baicai felt extremely embarrassed. She had been kissed by Li the bully for no reason and had to run away in a panic. It was utterly shameful.

She even confidently declared that she couldn't develop any relationship with the bully Li, and that she might just travel back to the modern world one day.

This is a slap in the face that came too quickly.

Once she was on the carriage heading back to the mansion, Yin Baicai realized that she had left the food box in Li Zhe's tent.

Wan Rui ran to his father Wan Danian's courtyard, his face beaming with joy that even makeup couldn't hide.

"Father, I have something to discuss with you."

Wan Da had only one son, Wan Rui, born to his deceased wife. Even after taking several concubines, none of them bore him any children. He doted on Wan Rui immensely.

Even if Wan Rui wanted the stars in the sky, he could pluck them down for him.

Wanda Nian looked at his well-behaved and sensible son and happily invited him in.

"Rui'er, is there something you've set your sights on? I'll have a servant go and buy it for you right away."

Wan Rui said coquettishly, "Father, that's not true! I just heard that the army is buying up surplus grain?"

When this topic came up, Wanda was in a panic! As the wealthiest merchant in Beiyu City, he naturally had a lot of grain in his hands. Now that the army was short of food, asking him to donate it was like cutting flesh off his body!

But if he didn't donate, his vast fortune would be completely lost once the enemy attacked and entered the city.

This matter has me extremely anxious and frustrated, and none of my subordinates have offered any advice.

Wanda suddenly turned his attention to Wan Rui, thinking that his precious son was so smart that he might have a good idea.

Her eyes lit up as she looked at Wan Rui, "Rui'er, do you have any good ideas?"

Wan Rui smiled slyly, "Father, listen to this..."

After listening to Wan Rui's idea, Wan Danian calmly took a sip of the tea on the table beside him.

“Rui’er, you really want to enter this general’s mansion. Do you know that General Li brought a young man back from outside? If you really go, you might only be able to be a concubine.”

When Wan Rui heard his father mention Yin Baicai, his eyes turned cold. As a junior, Wan Rui would never be inferior to that lowly boy. He was determined to take the position of the general's wife.

After the war ended, I tried to get close to the general, but he was suddenly transferred to the southwest to investigate matters.

It's only been half a year, and the general came back with that wild boy. I can't just hand over the person I've been longing for.

“Father, I don’t want to be a concubine, but don’t you want to be the General’s father-in-law? Think about it, if we had the General’s connection, our Wan family business would definitely reach new heights.” Wan Rui continued to persuade his father.

Wanda also had his own considerations. Having been in business for many years, he couldn't be easily angered by his son's words.

But deep down, I also felt that Wan Rui's words made sense.

If he had the connection to the General's Mansion, the Wan family would definitely have flourished under his leadership.

He firmly believed that the general had a strong sense of national duty and could not abandon the grain he had donated for the sake of personal feelings.

Even if Rui'er cannot be the principal wife, she can still be a concubine.

"Rui'er, don't worry, I'll send someone to sound out the general's opinion." Wan Danian didn't want to cut off his own escape route. What if he forced Li Zhe because of the grain issue, and then General Li came to settle scores after the war was over?

Seeing that he had successfully persuaded his father, Wan Rui was confident that General Li would definitely compromise on the matter of donating grain.

After all, the Wan family could help him, but that country bumpkin couldn't do anything. He was just a country bumpkin who relied on a general for a living.

Just as Wan Yanhe led his troops back to the camp, he saw Hu Rulie practicing with his spear. Hu Rulie vented his frustration at the defeat on him, and said sarcastically, "While we were on the front lines charging into battle, Zuo Xian is living a leisurely life. I just wonder when his hand will be healed?"

Hu Rulie heard the sarcasm in Wan Yanhe's voice, and with a forceful swing, the spear grazed the stray hairs by Wan Yanhe's ear. "Youxian has suffered another defeat. If he can't handle it, he should hand over the command token immediately."

Wanyanhe shrank back as he saw the spear flying towards him. Hearing Hu Rulie's words, his eyes darkened. "This is an order from the Chanyu. Why don't you, Zuo Xian, write a letter to the Que family? I will take care of it then..."

Before Wan Yanhe could finish speaking, Hu Rulie rushed forward and killed his warhorse with a powerful palm strike.

The sudden action caught Wan Yanhe off guard, causing him to roll on the ground and lose face completely.

Hu Rulie picked up the spear stuck behind Wan Yanhe and said, "It's best for Youxian to say less if there's something to say." With that, he picked up the spear and strode away.

Everyone knew that Hu Rulie was Que's elder brother, and Wan Yanhe deliberately said that Hu Rulie's command of troops was obtained through Que's influence.

The confidant immediately helped Wan Yanhe up, saying, "Right Xian, get up quickly. Why get angry with him? The most urgent task is to capture Beiyu City."

Having lost face in front of his generals, Wan Yanhe pushed away his confidant's hand and said, "Hu Rulie, you wait. I'll settle accounts with you after we take Beiyu City."

After Uncle He taught him once, Hu Nuer basically understood how to do it, and Uncle He left him to guard the charcoal fire in the greenhouse.

After Uncle He left, Hu Nu'er wandered around the house, looking around. She and her mother lived in a dilapidated house that was drafty in winter and leaky in summer.

It's outrageous that this general's mansion uses such fine buildings to grow vegetables, and even uses so much charcoal for it. Once Wali's army conquers Northern City, I will burn this place to the ground.

But there are people watching this mansion all the time, so how can I get any information?

His eyes flickered, and he thought of the kind-hearted Yin Baicai.

Let's start with that wild boy that Li Zhe brought back, which was rumored in the city a while ago.

Once I gain his trust, doing anything will be a piece of cake.

Cheng Yu was busy dealing with military affairs, and by the time he finished, it was already dark.

He had intended to stay in the military camp for almost a night, but he was worried about Shen Jin, so he mounted his horse and headed towards the general's mansion.

That spoiled brat vomited many times yesterday; I wonder how he is today?

When the guards of the general's mansion saw Cheng Yu approaching, they immediately went to take his warhorse.

"Young General."

Cheng Yu nodded and strode in, bumping right into Hu Nuer, who was just about to leave the mansion.

Hu Nu'er naturally recognized Cheng Yu and bowed, "Young General."

Shen Jin looked at the man and then thought of the matter Li Zhe had asked him to investigate. It seemed he would have to return to his residence later. Since his elder brother had asked him to investigate this person, there must be something amiss.

Shen Jin had a poor appetite and vomited up a lot of the food she had just eaten.

Yin Baicai stood behind him and patted his back. "Brother Shen, the little guy in your belly is really fussy. Unlike Xiao Yu, he must have learned from you."

Shen Jin was about to refute him when a wave of nausea washed over her, and she vomited into the spittoon.

Cheng Yu heard Yin Baicai's words and thought about it. His brother-in-law was right. He preferred quiet, and his noisy behavior was indeed similar to that of this playboy.

I remember the first time we met, he had just come out of a brothel.
