The Bully General's Spiritual Husband

In the evening, just as Li Zhe carried Li Mo back to the bedroom to rest, a snow-white pigeon landed on the windowsill of his study.

Taking the carrier pigeon and removing the letter tied to it, Li Zhe quickly skimmed through it.

After reading it, he pondered for a moment, then picked up the pen on the table and wrote down his instructions to Jiang Su and the others on a clean sheet of paper.

Fold the letter and tie it to the pigeon's leg, then lift the pigeon up and release it into the night sky.

The bright moonlight shone on Li Zhe's face, and at this moment, Li Zhe's expression was as cold as ice.

Yu Ming, you'd better hide your true colors well. If you do, I'll catch you myself.

You actually managed to escape in Qingning County.

The next day, after Yin Baicai and Ge Tian finished lunch, they urged Li Zhe to hurry up.

"Hurry up, Li the bully! We still need to go to Baihua Village to get my stove later!"

This is something Yin Baicai mentioned when she ate grilled fish last time: she wanted to make a small stove so that she could have hot pot freedom when it gets cold.

Led by Li Zhe, Yin Baicai had ordered two small stoves a few days ago from an old man in Baihua Village who was skilled at making pottery jars.

Yin Baicai first had Li Zhe draw a blueprint according to his instructions, which was then given to the old man.

The old man said he could make it, and today is the day to collect it.

As soon as lunch was over, Yin Baicai couldn't wait to call Li Zhe to come with him. He had ordered two, one for Li Zhe's household and one to take back to his own home.

It would be too much trouble for him to carry this back by himself, so he asked Li Zhe to go with him.

Li Zhe carried a small basket on his back, locked the courtyard gate, and walked towards Baihua Village with Yin Baicai.

Baihua Village is not far from Taohua Village. Along the way, Yin Baicai chattered incessantly like a little bee.

The taciturn Li Zhe would occasionally reply to him, and the two got along quite well.

They soon arrived at Baihua Village. It was after lunchtime, and at the entrance of the village, some women and men were sitting chatting and sewing.

They looked at Li Zhe and Yin Baicai curiously as they approached.

"Look at that person, they don't seem to be from our village."

A woman who was sewing clothes looked up at Li Zhe and Yin Baicai. "I know these two are from Peach Blossom Village next door. The scarred man is said to be a hunter from their village, and the tall guy next to him is a notorious jinx in their village. He brings bad luck to his father and mother."

"Bihe, how do you know all this so clearly?"

Zhang Bihe pouted, "I heard it from my aunt! She lives in Peach Blossom Village. She told me when she came back last time. I also want to tell you that the scarred man even hit his own uncle!"

Zhang Bihe spoke as if she had witnessed it herself.

Yin Baicai and Li Zhe stopped talking as soon as they approached.

Yin Baicai glanced at the group of people and then walked away. He knew that these women were definitely gossiping about him and Li the bully.

But I'm only saying this behind your back. If you dare to say it to my face, I, Yin Baicai, will definitely have a serious talk with you.

After watching the two walk away, the group lowered their heads and began whispering among themselves.

Seeing that all the villagers were surrounding her, Zhang Bihe felt a little smug.

It seems that I, Zhang Bihe, am well-informed. I'll go to my aunt's house in a couple of days to inquire about it, and when I come back to the village, I can show off again.

Yin Baicai and Li Zhe stopped in front of a small courtyard. Yin Baicai shouted, "Master, we've come to get our things."

Old Man He said in a hoarse, low voice, "The door wasn't locked, so you just pushed it open and came in. I thought you didn't want this thing anymore!"

Yin Baicai smiled broadly: "What you're saying, old man? This is a precious treasure of mine, how could I not want it!"

Old Man He asked curiously, "Why are you making this little stove? Is it for decocting medicine?"

"No, I use it to cook hot pot. It's convenient to use such a small thing in the cold winter, and the food won't get cold easily."

Old He stroked his beard: "It's really a good method, but this small stove will burn a lot of charcoal! That stuff gets expensive in winter."

When He Lao mentioned charcoal, Yin Baicai remembered that she needed to find some time to make charcoal so that it would be convenient to cook hot pot later!

Moreover, with charcoal, it won't burn as quickly as firewood.

According to the original owner's memory, winters in the Yan Kingdom were very cold.

If the firewood freezes, it will be difficult to ignite.

It seems we still need to make the charcoal in advance.

But there's nowhere to pile them up now, so we can only wait until our house is repaired.

After paying the remaining money to Old Man He, Yin Baicai and Li Zhe each carried a small, half-sized stove back to the village.

Ge Tian and the others looked at the things that Yin Baicai and her companion were carrying and asked them a question out of curiosity.

Yin Baicai left his small stove at Li Zhe's house as well, too lazy to carry it back to the end of the village.

Once the house is repaired, we can just move in.

Seeing Yin Baicai covered in sweat from exhaustion, Li Zhe hurriedly went back into the house to get Yin Baicai's ice pack.

Yin Baicai wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve and hung the ice pack that Li Zhe had given her around her neck.

"Thanks, Li the bully."

Li Zhe said coldly, "There's no need for such formalities between us."

Li Zhe was very unhappy that Yin Baicai was being so polite to him; if it weren't for his mother's passing, the two of them would have been family.

To this day, this young man has no intention of considering her as his fiancé at all, and he keeps everything very clear about his relationship with her.

Yin Baicai, being the carefree person she is, didn't notice Li Zhe's displeasure and was even enjoying applying an ice pack to her face.

Jiang Su and his companions received Li Zhe's secret letter and were about to open it when Lin Xing, who had infiltrated the Huang residence, returned.

Looking at the carrier pigeon in Jiang Su's hand, he asked, "Is this a letter from the boss? What did he say?"

Jiang Su: "I haven't seen it yet. Now that you're here, let's watch it together!"

After reading the letter, the three pondered something. Li Zhe meant that Lin Xing should continue to keep a close eye on the Huang family, while Jiang Su and He Qi should keep a close watch on the movements of other wealthy families in the town.

In Li Zhe's view, Yu Ming would definitely not give up. Now that he had caught his lackey, he would continue to look for other targets.

After all, Yu Ming is a ruthless person who would even set fire to his own young child and wife to kill them.

Jiang Su looked at Lin Xing, who had suddenly returned, and asked him, "By the way, why are you back? Isn't the Huang family in a state of chaos right now?"

Lin Xing said with a serious expression, "I came here to tell you that Zhang, the doctor from Qianzhitang, seems to know that Master Huang was poisoned with Wushi Powder. You know, in Yuyang County, nobody knows about Wushi Powder."

Jiang Su was the smartest of the three, and after hearing Lin Xing's words, he pondered for a moment.

He said to Lin Xing and the other man, "This Doctor Zhang might have come into contact with people who have taken Wushi Powder. We can't let our guard down and we should investigate him secretly."

The two nodded upon hearing this.
