The peasant girl has a private space, and her husband is handsome.

Poor General Mu and several rebel soldiers were hiding behind the black iron meteorite, shooting arrows, when the huge iron meteorite suddenly disappeared, exposing General Mu and his men, who became lambs to the slaughter.

With a flick of her halberd, Su Qianqian hooked General Mu out and threw him at Dong Zhu's feet.

Without hesitation, Dong Zhu raised his broadsword and slashed General Mu's right knee, then captured General Mu alive.

Dong Zhu was a little dazed. He had actually captured the rebel leader alive. This huge achievement had fallen on him, even though it was his first time fighting a war.

Military Advisor Zhang patted Dong Zhu on the shoulder, "You've hit the jackpot. Capturing the rebel leader will at least get you a minor officer position."

Dong Zhu was internally screaming: Long live Miss Su!

His father always complained that he was a good-for-nothing and didn't do anything productive. He thought that once he became a junior officer, his father would definitely look at him with new respect.

Meeting Miss Su was the luckiest thing that ever happened to him.

Dong Zhu knew perfectly well that it was Miss Su who had used a halberd to bring the rebel leader to him, allowing him to gain a great merit for nothing.

Why did Miss Su help him? Was it because he recklessly rushed over to shield her from the arrow?

But when he saw with his own eyes that Miss Su used magic to make the boulder disappear, he realized that his foolish rush to shield Miss Su from the arrow was unnecessary.

Military Advisor Zhang shouted to the rebels through a large tin megaphone: "General Mu has been captured alive. All other soldiers, please lay down your weapons and surrender immediately, or you will be spared."

The rebels had no other choice; the impregnable entrance had been destroyed.

Without the natural barrier protecting them, and with even their leader, General Mu, captured alive, leaving only the lowly soldiers, there was naturally no need for them to continue resisting. So the rebels surrendered one after another.

In this battle, more than 3,000 rebel soldiers were captured alive, while some others escaped.

Military Advisor Zhang was overjoyed and didn't forget to report the most important thing to General Su: "Reporting to General Su, our soldiers suffered zero deaths in this battle, fifteen were lightly wounded, and one was seriously wounded. They have been carried down the mountain for treatment."

A thousand men escorted more than three thousand rebel soldiers back to Qinghe County in a grand and glorious procession.

At the same time, Li Xuanji also learned that Black Wind Stronghold had been destroyed, and it seemed that there was no going back to Black Wind Stronghold.

Li Xuanji could only flee with his thousand-plus men. He felt it was safer to be far away from Qinghe County and to be far away from that extraordinary girl.

The streets of Qinghe County were filled with the deafening sound of gongs and drums as countless people lined the streets to welcome the triumphant return of the militia.

Feng Yuanxi said enviously, "Bamboo is really something now. It won a great victory on its first trip out."

Because of a bet he made with Feng Yuanxi, Qin Changfeng went to Military Advisor Zhang's side and asked, "Military Advisor Zhang, were there any casualties in today's battle?"

Military Advisor Zhang said with a proud look, "Everything is fine. There have been no deaths and not many wounded."

Qin Changfeng was dumbfounded.

What kind of war is this? They all came back unscathed.

Are you really going to fight a war? I think you're going sightseeing, aren't you?

Feng Yuanxi chuckled foolishly: "Changfeng, I won the bet."

He grew up with Qin Changfeng and they had made countless bets before, but this was the first time he had ever won against Qin Changfeng.

Qin Changfeng resignedly took out a silver note and stuffed it into Feng Yuanxi's hand, saying, "Consider yourself lucky this time, kid."

Feng Yuanxi chuckled foolishly, "I didn't get lucky, I got this through real skill." But it wasn't his own skill, it was Miss Su's skill.

The line to enter the city was very long. Several playboys stood in the crowd and waited for a long time before Dong Zhu finally entered the city.

Qin Changfeng felt it was a pity that he had only been a member of the militia for a short time; otherwise, he could have gone on a long journey to fight alongside them, which would have been so prestigious.

I heard that Dong Zhu has made a great contribution this time!

Seeing the bloodstains on Dong Zhu's clothes, Feng Yuanxi asked with concern, "Zhu Zi, are you hurt?"

The cavalryman walking with Dong Zhu explained, "He's just being stubborn; he insists on sacrificing himself to shield General Su from an arrow."

Feng Yuanxi punched Dong Zhu in the back, "Zhu, you're such a sycophant."

Dong Zhu: "I was wrong, really."

After witnessing General Su's extraordinary abilities, he realized that rushing over would not only fail to help General Su, but might also implicate him.

Because General Su was originally doing very well on his own, the sudden addition of this burden required him to take care of him.

Su Qianqian, holding a large tin megaphone, relayed the order: "Dong Zhu disobeyed orders to retreat, violating military discipline. He will be punished according to military law. Go find Military Advisor Zhang to receive your punishment."

Although she was moved by Dong Zhu's willingness to risk his life to protect her, she knew that if everyone disobeyed military orders like Dong Zhu, the war would not be won. Therefore, those who deserved rewards should be rewarded, and those who deserved punishment should be punished.

Dong Zhu accepted General Su's punishment wholeheartedly, saying, "Yes, General Su."

Feng Yuanxi held up the silver notes in his hand and kept chasing after Su Qianqian, "General Su, I am willing to donate one thousand taels as military expenses."

Dong Zhu: This kid had the nerve to call others sycophants just now, but I think he's even more of a sycophant.

Moreover, this kid used to be very stubborn, saying that he would never be able to address Miss Su as General, but now he calls her General better than anyone else.

Feng Yuanxi kept chasing and chasing, and finally caught up with Su Qianqian outside the gate of Gu's Restaurant. He held up the silver notes in front of Su Qianqian and said, "General Su, this is my donation for military expenses."

Feng Yuanxi blushed, feeling a little ashamed. General Su was a person who knew magic, so he shouldn't care about a thousand taels, but this was all the money he had.

He planned to write a letter to his father in the capital to ask for more money to support General Su.

Su Qianqian remembered that she had some old sketches that she had discarded, so she took them out of the drawer and handed them to Feng Yuanxi.

"I never take things from others for nothing. It's a matter of reciprocity, so this is for you."

She noticed that Feng Yuanxi seemed quite interested in the sketches on the restaurant wall, so she gave him the discarded drawings.

One thing at a time. Regardless of whether Feng Yuanxi's father is a good person or not, Feng Yuanxi himself did a good deed and should be rewarded.

Feng Yuanxi was stunned when he received the sketch. He had always wanted to buy the works of the genius painter when he was in Beijing, but Wang's shop refused to sell the last few paintings, insisting that they would be sold after the New Year.

Moreover, the selling price is surprisingly high, costing several thousand taels for a single piece.

Now, he finally got one.

Although the painting depicts men's clothing rather than people, it is still equally valuable.

This is like finding a treasure!

Holding the painting, Feng Yuanxi solemnly expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, General Su. I will cherish this painting."

Qin Changfeng followed along and witnessed the whole thing firsthand, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

Is Feng Yuanxi cheating? Someone who has never won a bet suddenly won, and even got a work by a genius artist, something that money can't buy anywhere.

This luck is simply incredible.

Qin Changfeng also wanted a painting like that, so he decided to learn from Feng Yuanxi.

Qin Changfeng also handed Su Qianqian a silver note with a face value of one thousand taels.

"General Su must be under a lot of pressure supporting so many soldiers, so I will also donate one thousand taels of military funds."

Su Qianqian was very satisfied; these children were truly sensible.

I happened to have a lot of discarded clothing design drafts on hand, so I gave one to Qin Changfeng as a gift.

The injured Dong Zhu was bandaging his wounds. He watched Qin Changfeng and Feng Yuanxi's sycophantic behavior from afar and was speechless.

Qin Changfeng and Feng Yuanxi, please look in the mirror. Your sycophantic expressions are far more sycophantic than mine.

That evening, the grandson of the Minister of Rites heard that a thousand taels of silver could be exchanged for a work by a genius painter, so he immediately went to Gu's shop with several other playboys to give Su Qianqian the money.

Similarly, each person received a discarded clothing design draft.

But that was enough to make the spoiled brats happy.

The grandson of the Minister of Rites was not actually interested in painting at all; he was just too attached to it. Seeing that Qin Changfeng and Feng Yuanxi both had paintings, he wanted one too.

Although he doesn't understand painting and isn't interested in it, he's heard that owning a painting by a genius artist is a great source of prestige.

I can show it off to my friends when I get back to Beijing.
