We agreed that I would be married off to a short-lived general, but why is my husband so powerful?

Before Wen Rushi could even find out the news, the news of Yue Lingyuan's disobedience to military orders spread throughout the entire military camp.

The reason was that General Yue felt that the barbarians had been defeated too easily in this attack, and fearing that the Tatars might be treacherous, he sent a message to Yue Lingyuan to lead his men to retreat.

But Yue Lingyuan not only did not retreat, he continued to lead his troops to pursue and kill the Southern Barbarians.

Wen Rushi understood that this man probably wouldn't return until he had slaughtered all the barbarian tribes.

Despite this, Wen Rushi never considered venturing deep into the grasslands to find Yue Lingyuan.

First of all, the grassland is so vast, and they are wandering around. Whether she can find them is another matter.

Since Yue Lingyuan is determined to invade the Barbarian Court, he will not listen to her even if she goes there.

She wasn't too worried about Yue Lingyuan getting into trouble. After all, he had practiced a cultivation technique, which, although not very effective, was still enough to help him escape.

Moreover, she is only at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and is not that powerful.

Wen Rushi cherished her life.

However, she felt a pang of reluctance that others might lose their lives because of this.

Unexpectedly, this wait lasted for two months.

Over the past two months, Wen Rushi has cultivated every night and barely managed to reach the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment.

After reaching the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, she encountered another barrier and was completely unable to advance any further.

Meanwhile, there had been no news from the front lines for nearly half a month.

Inside the military tent, General Yue and several other generals, along with the military advisor, gathered together.

"General! We haven't heard from the young general. Could something have happened to him? Should we go and support him?"

A bearded general slammed his hand on the table and retorted, "Wang Lao Er, you make it sound so easy! The grasslands are so vast, and so much time has passed. We don't even know where the young general is now, or if we can't find him. How can we send reinforcements? What if something happens? Wouldn't that just be sending our lives for nothing?"

"I think it would be safer to send some more people to gather information," Yang Junshi said after the two had finished arguing.

General Yue agreed with Military Advisor Yang's suggestion, "Then let's do it this way! Once we find out the news, no matter what happens, we must come back and report."

Wen Rushi was unaware of the news from the commander's camp.

The previous batch of medicine had been used up, and Wen Rushi originally wanted to take advantage of the free time to refine some more medicine to keep for future use.

But when she went to Dr. Zhang to collect the medicine, he sighed and said with difficulty, "You have already used up some of the medicines you need, so you will have to wait for a while."

"How long? Commander Zhang, give me a straight answer."

Zhang Jun shook his head: "This old man doesn't know either."

I heard that when making medicine, only a few specific medicinal herbs are needed.

She always complained about one thing: no matter how much was stored in the military camp, it was never enough.

Having heard this, they had no choice but to give up.

The capital city is thousands of miles away from the border.

When the military camp received news of Yue Lingyuan and his soldiers' disappearance, the capital city learned that Yue Lingyuan had led his troops deep into the grasslands and directly attacked the barbarian court.

This news shocked the entire imperial court.

Since its founding, the Great Jin Dynasty had been constantly harassed by the Tatars on its borders.

In the early days of its powerful reign, the Tatars were relatively well-behaved, and many tribes came to submit to them.

Later, as the power of the Great Jin Dynasty weakened, it sent countless princesses to marry foreign rulers in order to maintain stability on the borders.

However, the Tatars' appetite grew ever larger. They continued to collect the princess's gold and silver jewels, and every autumn they would still march south to harvest grain and grass, burning, killing, and looting without hesitation.

This time, Yue Lingyuan led his men to drive the Tatars back to their homeland. Even the most spineless civil officials in the court felt a sense of injustice.

However, while venting one's anger is understandable, those who deserve impeachment still need to be impeached.

The civil official said that Yue Lingyuan was arrogant and conceited, and had damaged diplomatic relations between the two countries. He argued that the Yue family should be punished.

The civil official said that Yue Lingyuan had angered the barbarians, and if things got out of control, it would be better to seek peace quickly.

Others say that Yue Fei's army acted without authorization and must be punished.

Wen Qingci was unaware of the discussions taking place in the imperial court.

After hearing the rumors outside that Yue Lingyuan had chased the barbarians into the grasslands, she was stunned for a long time.

Even after returning to the Cai family home, she was still in a daze for a long time.

What happened?

In his previous life, there was no story of Yue Lingyuan venturing deep into the grasslands to pursue the Tatars.

Yue Lingyuan and General Yue dutifully guarded Longmen Pass. Two years later, the Tatars marched south and attacked Longmen Pass with overwhelming force.

General Yue, along with his son and nephew, held Longmen Pass to the death.

After two years of defense, General Yue was killed in battle, and Yue Lingyuan became the commander-in-chief, but in the end, they suffered defeat after defeat, and finally...

In this life, he actually ventured deep into the grasslands and drove the barbarians back to their homeland.

This is impossible!

Those barbarian cavalrymen were all brave and skilled in battle, and also...

How could he be defeated by Yue Lingyuan so easily?

Must be fake!

Yes, it must be fake!

Wen Qingci returned to the Cai family in a daze. She had just sat down to have a cup of tea to calm her nerves when the nanny next to her mother, Chen, came to invite her.

Wen Qingci understood that her mother must have come to see her because of those rumors.

Even though she didn't really want to go back to her parents' home, she still went with the nanny.

"Qingci, what's going on? General Yue's words are different from what you said!" As soon as Madam Chen saw Wen Qingci, she rushed forward and pulled her daughter into the inner room.

"Mother, I don't know either. It didn't happen in my dream." Wen Qingci bit her lip and shook her head.

Although she didn't want to admit it, some things were indeed different.

At this moment, she was extremely flustered. If Yue Lingyuan defeated the Northern Barbarians, it meant that the entire Yue family would no longer be sent to the barbarian camp, and the General's Mansion would continue to exist...

Wouldn't she have been doing someone else's dowry for nothing?

Thinking of this, Wen Qingci felt extremely regretful.

Thinking of Cai Zhixing, who was already crippled, Wen Qingci felt both angry and resentful.

Looking at her daughter's dark complexion, Madam Chen knew exactly how she felt. After a moment's thought, she tentatively asked:

"Since the barbarians have been driven back to their homeland, they probably won't go south. Why don't you get a divorce? I'll find you a good family. No matter what, it'll be better than the Cai family."

Wen Qingci's face turned pale.

If she gets a divorce, doesn't that mean she made the wrong choice in the first place?

Do not!

Maybe she didn't make the wrong choice!

Instead.........

Wen Qingci thought of a possibility, and his expression changed slightly.

Cai Zhixing became lame, and after his leg healed, it was indeed shorter than the doctor had said.

Grandma Cai came up with a solution: she padded the shoe on Cai Zhixing's injured right leg with a thick sole.

After Cai Zhixing put on his shoes, he walked so that you couldn't tell he was a cripple.

But the main reason Wen Qingci didn't divorce him was because of Cai Zhixing's rebirth.

If Cai Zhixing can be reborn, then what about Yue Lingyuan?

If he were to be reborn, it would be entirely possible for him to strike first and wipe out the Tatars!

If that's the case, then all her efforts would have been in vain...

Wen Qingci was silent for a while. "Mother, if I were to divorce like this, I'm afraid it would be bad for my reputation."

Madam Chen smiled mysteriously, "How could I not have thought of that? You doing this..."

Chen leaned close to her ear and whispered some instructions...
