The Bully General's Spiritual Husband

Li Zhe rode ahead on horseback. Jiang Su looked at the tall figure ahead and thought, "The general really cares about his wife." Even with the tempting offers from the Wan family, the general remained unmoved.

The general was so busy with the matter of supplies that he hadn't had a break for two days straight in his tent.

The candles in the general's tent always burned until dawn.

Yin Baicai built another kiln on the mountain, which greatly increased the speed of charcoal production.

After watching the workers neatly arrange the wood, Yin Baicai paid them their wages and let them leave.

Together with the servants from the general's mansion, they lit the kiln, leaving only a small opening for adding firewood. After eating the dry rations they had brought, they blocked the kiln opening.

Li Mo stayed in Shen Jin's courtyard with him, and Shen Jin had lost a lot of weight in the past two days.

Li Mo stared at Shen Jin's stomach: "Does Uncle Jin's brother really live in here?"

Shen Jin was delighted by Li Mo's innocent words and patted his little head: "How did Li Xiaomo know that the little brother is in here?"

Li Mo: "Mo Mo just knows."

Uncle He brought over lunch. "Young Master Shen, has the young master eaten?"

Looking at Yin Baicai, who hadn't returned for a while, Li Mo asked, "Why hasn't Mother come back yet? Grandpa He, remember to leave some food for her."

Uncle He chuckled and agreed, "Yes, yes, young master, please enjoy your meal!"

Hu Nu'er, who was eating the food provided by the General's Mansion in the warm room, looked at the charcoal brazier in front of her with a gloomy expression. If only this warm house were her own, her mother could also keep warm and wouldn't have to be wrapped in a tattered quilt with a strong musty smell.

Why isn't that person from the General's Mansion here today? Could it be that he's off doing something? It seems the General's Mansion is still wary of me, only letting me look after the vegetable seedlings in the greenhouse.

To gain that lady's trust, I need to find out more valuable information. I need to think carefully about how to gain her trust.

Li Zhe said to Jiang Su beside him, "There's no need to talk about what happened at the Wan residence today."

"Yes."

Li Zhe was also afraid that if the soldiers heard this, it might further affect their morale, since he had rejected Wan Fu's request, which was so beneficial to the army.

There is indeed a food shortage at the moment, but Li Zhe is certain that he will win the war against Wali Kingdom.

When Yin Baicai returned to the mansion, it was getting dark, but one part of the market was brightly lit, and many people seeking pleasure were entering the courtyard.

Yin Baicai merely lifted the carriage curtain to peek a few more times, when she was spotted by a pink-clad figure on the second floor.

Seeing Yin Baicai riding in a luxurious carriage, Liu Xiaolian's eyes were practically overflowing with jealousy.

Indeed, the familiar figure that Yin Baicai saw on the street was none other than Liu Xiaolian, who had been exiled for half a year.

She had already found out that Li Zhe was actually a mighty general revered by everyone in Beiyu City, which explained why the county magistrate in Qingshui County had acted so decisively.

He hadn't done anything wrong, yet he was exiled to the frontier along with Li Lin.

Yin Baicai, that jinx, is really lucky. She climbed up the high branch of Li the bully, turning from a sparrow into a phoenix and becoming the general's husband.

It's a pity that my little baby died of a high fever during his exile, and Li Lin was also worked to death by being sent to do hard labor.

Having finally escaped, she was sold into a kiln thousands of miles away from Peach Blossom Village. She thought she would never be able to seek revenge against Li Zhe and the scoundrel.

Who would have thought that fate would be so kind as to let me meet them in the Northern Region City? This is the perfect opportunity to avenge my little treasure.

I need to carefully plan how to avenge the murder of my son.

Liu Xiaolian watched Yin Baicai's carriage gradually disappear into the distance, her eyes filled with boundless hatred.

A knock sounded at the door: "Lianniang, Master Wang has arrived and wants you to come over!"

Liu Xiaolian composed herself. "He's here." This Master Wang is just a lousy cloth seller, fat and bloated, disgusting to even think about.

Even in his sixties, he still visits the Tingyao Kiln, not afraid that he might not be able to catch his breath and collapse.

Although Liu Xiaolian was a peasant woman, her appearance was more typical of the southern regions, and she was quite attractive in Tingyao. She was petite with regular features; otherwise, Li Lin wouldn't have been so completely under her thumb and married her.

Dressed in gorgeous clothes and carefully dressed up in the courtyard, no one could have imagined that Liu Xiaolian had transformed into a second-class courtesan in the courtyard.

Two days later

Yin Baicai found it very strange, as Hu Nuer was becoming more and more respectful to him.

Could it be that I saved him twice, causing this little wolf cub to change his nature? From being wary at the beginning to being respectful now.

Yin Baicai was teaching Li Mo to play riddles in the front hall when Hu Nuer came over.

"Madam, I see the vegetables in the greenhouse are ready to eat. Would you like to go and take a look?"

Yin Baicai: "Okay, I'll go in a bit."

Hu Nuer wanted to find topics to talk about with Yin Baicai in order to gain his trust.

Yin Baicai turned her head and continued playing with Li Mo, so he had no choice but to suppress his emotions and leave.

Yin Baicai: "Li Xiaomo, guess why the little monk fell into the water and his whole body was wet, except for his hair?"

Li Mo tilted his head and thought for a moment, "The little monk is wearing a hat."

"No, because the little monk is bald."

Li Mo asked, puzzled, "What's a bald head?"

"It means his head is bald, he doesn't grow hair."

Li Mo touched the small bun on her head. "Mo Mo isn't bald. I have hair."

Shen Jin watched Yin Baicai teasing Li Mo, propping her head up with her hand and laughing. She hoped that when the little bundle of flesh in her belly grew up, he would be as well-behaved as Li Mo. Otherwise, if another naughty child came along, she wouldn't be able to handle it.

The death of one of Wan Yanhe's left and right arms and the injury of the other caused him great distress.

He had worked so hard to promote them, and now they were killed by Li Zhe, leaving him with even fewer supporters in the army.

Most of the generals in the army are Hu Rulie's men now, so it won't be easy for me to get promoted!

These people always contradicted him, and he kept hoping that Hu Rulie would take back the power to lead the troops. When discussing battle plans, they always challenged him. He really couldn't stand it anymore.

Seeing his displeasure, Wan Yanhe's personal guard whispered in his ear, "Zuo Xian, I saw a black crow fly into You Xian's tent yesterday. It seemed to be flying from the direction of Beiyu City."

"Are you telling the truth?" Wan Yanhe asked immediately.

“It’s true, I saw it when I went to urinate in the middle of the night last night.”

"Hahaha, this is truly heaven's help! Could it be that Hu Rulie has some hidden plan for attacking the city? Keep a close eye on his camp. If you see that black crow, intercept it first. I want to see who is tipping off Hu Rulie."

Wan Yan's expression was full of satisfaction.

If I knew Hu Rulie's plan, I could take advantage of having command of the troops and use his plan to conquer Beiyu City in one fell swoop.

At that time, I, Wanyanhe, will be the greatest contributor to the Wali Kingdom. So what if Hu Rulie has a sister from the Que clan? The status of my Wanyan clan will definitely rise to a higher level.
