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

Once everyone was settled back in, the awkwardness had passed, and in another hour, it would be dawn.

However, because of what happened last night, no one was in a hurry to travel today.

Instead, we'll rest here for two days and recuperate.

By this time, they had already ventured deep into the grasslands.

After being surrounded by wolves, this group of people were no longer afraid that Wen Rushi and his companion would escape.

They also provided a lot of protection for the two of them.

Of course, Wen Rushi had no intention of leaving.

Previously, she was worried that all these people had been killed by wolves, and that she would have to go through a lot of trouble to find the grassland tribe.

Since there are still people alive to guide her, she will continue to follow them.

Wen Rushi was not worried about her and Yue Lingshan's safety at all.

Inside Longmen Pass, after learning that Wen Rushi and her sister-in-law Yue Lingshan had disappeared in the city, Yue Lingyuan and the others searched the entire city of Yancheng, but still found no trace of them.

Yue Lingyuan was extremely worried.

She only breathed a slight sigh of relief when she realized that Wen Rushi's cultivation level was even higher than hers.

However, he still dared not relax at all and sent many people out to inquire about information.

In the end, he actually found out that Wen Rushi and Yue Lingshan had been taken out of the city and into the grasslands.

This is not a good time to go to the grasslands.

Yue Lingyuan wanted to lead his troops to rescue the people.

Xiang Ying stopped her.

"General, Physician Wen and Ling Lingshan are no ordinary people; they'll definitely be fine. You can't leave now. The barbarians beyond the Great Wall are eyeing us covetously. Without you here, if they take the opportunity to attack, the consequences would be unimaginable!"

How could Yue Lingyuan not know that Xiang Ying's words made sense?

However, if he did nothing while his wife and sister were captured, he couldn't get over it in his own heart.

"The importance of military doctors is self-evident; we must save him," Yue Lingyuan said in a deep voice.

He said this without any ulterior motives.

These times we were able to break through the enemy lines and reduce our casualties. Wen Ru's role in this was obvious to anyone with eyes, even without him saying it.

But.........

"But they captured Doctor Wen because he broke through their formation several times. If you go to rescue him now, wouldn't that just give them an opening?" a lieutenant said, frowning.

"How about we send some people familiar with the grasslands to rescue them, while we strengthen security here?" Xiang Ying suggested.

Everyone wholeheartedly agreed with the plan.

However, deciding who to send became another problem.

Even ordinary grasslands are fraught with danger for the people of the Great Jin Dynasty, let alone in this snowy season.

They either lost their way and died in the grasslands, or they encountered a pack of wolves and perished in their jaws.

Even if they survived, it was a near-death experience.

For a moment, no one in the tent spoke.

Finally, Yue Lingyun raised his hand. "I'm willing to lead people to rescue my sister-in-law and younger sister."

His current rank is not high enough to be in charge of discussing military affairs, but what can he do when the missing people are his sister-in-law and his younger sister?

He had only recently begun to draw in Qi into his body, and after doing so, he realized that his power was now different from that of ordinary people.

In short, he is stronger than the average martial artist.

He could take on a hundred men, if not a hundred, but close. Even if he couldn't win, escaping would be no problem at all.

Therefore, he didn't think that his sister-in-law and younger sister, whose cultivation levels were much higher than his, would be in any trouble.

The only possibility is that after escaping, they get lost on the grassland and have no food.

Yue Lingyun felt that no one was more suitable to save people than herself.

It wasn't just because of his younger sister Yue Lingshan, but also because he knew that the cultivation technique he practiced was given to him by his sister-in-law Wen Rushi.

Having received favors from her, he couldn't stand idly by when she was in danger.

When the others saw that it was Yue Lingyun, who was fourteen years old, they all fell silent.

In the past few days, although the barbarians have not launched a large-scale attack, there have been many clashes between the two sides, and several battles have been fought.

Yue Lingyun, that kid, I don't know what he ate lately, he kills enemies like he's chopping melons and vegetables.

Such military force would be fine for the grasslands, but...

This kid doesn't have much experience on the grasslands.

After discussion, an old general led his men and went into the grassland with Yue Lingyun.

This time, they hired a Han Chinese man who had been captured by barbarians and raised on the grasslands since childhood, and who had been rescued by soldiers of the Great Jin Dynasty, as their guide.

At this moment, Wen Rushi and his companion, who were still on the grassland, were unaware that someone was heading towards the grassland to rescue them.

After resting for two days, the group set off again.

The rest of the journey went relatively smoothly.

Not only did they avoid encountering the wolf pack again, they also recovered two horses that had previously escaped.

Hearing this, the two of them could finally ride without being pulled by manpower.

After they got horses, Batu, who had been pulling the carriage, didn't leave. He became their driver and was responsible for keeping an eye on them.

Seeing that Batu didn't look at them with disgust like the others and had been behaving himself, Yue Lingshan decided to ask Batu for information.

Now that there were no other guests around, Yue Lingshan took out the dry food she had hidden away.

"Batu, thank you for these past few days. I noticed you haven't been eating enough, so here you go." Yue Lingshan handed Batu a dry piece of bread.

Batu shared a common trait with other barbarians: he ate a lot.

After traveling for so long on the grasslands, their food supplies were running low, and Batu hadn't had a proper meal in the past few days.

Ever since Batu started keeping an eye on her and her sister-in-law, Yue Lingshan has been able to hear Batu's stomach rumbling almost every day.

Just as Yue Lingshan had guessed, Batu was indeed tempted when he saw the food.

Seeing this, Yue Lingshan immediately stuffed the dry rations into his hands.

Batu remained silent for a moment, picked up the dry rations, took a bite, and then silently put the rest back into his pocket.

Before Yue Lingshan could say anything, he turned and left.

Previously, those people were very wary of Yue Lingshan and Wen Rushi, and had other intentions. Yue Lingshan never thought of asking those people anything.

It was only in the last couple of days that she noticed Batu was quiet and didn't like to talk much. He didn't brag or chat like others during his rest time, and seemed like an honest and easy-going person. That's when Yue Lingshan got the idea to find out more about him.

Unexpectedly, this honest man took her provisions and left without saying a word.

It seems she misjudged the situation.

With food supplies exhausted, and in this remote place far from any village or shop, a piece of dry food is incredibly precious!

But that bearded guy just grabbed the food and left! What a sly fellow!

Yue Lingshan felt a little annoyed as she watched Batu leave.

But with people watching her all around, she couldn't tell Wen Rushi right away, so she could only keep it to herself.

On the other side, after Batu left, he couldn't help but keep touching his heart.

Batu is an orphan who has never felt any care or concern from others since childhood.

During this time, he was hungry.

He never dreamed that a prisoner would find him and even bring him food.
