Too many female prisoners, a special forces soldier transmigrates and marries wildly.

"It really is you! General Zhao received an urgent message from the messenger last night and was extremely anxious, ordering me to lead a team out of the city to meet you!"

"Brother Zhou," Lin Feng said calmly, bowing slightly, "The brothers fought desperately; details will be provided later. Feng Kun has indeed defected to the Di Rong Black Wolf tribe and has threatened to harass our Shuofeng border. This matter is extremely urgent; we must see General Zhao immediately!"

Deputy General Zhou's expression hardened: "Just as I thought! Quickly, follow me into the city! General Zhao is waiting for us at his residence!"

"The wounded need immediate medical attention," Lin Feng said.

"Don't worry, we've already arranged for people to wait at the city gate!"

With a wave of his hand, Deputy General Zhou sent twenty cavalrymen to step forward and assist the wounded, guiding the convoy.

Led by Deputy General Zhou, the convoy passed through several streets and arrived at the garrison commander's residence in the west of the city.

Zhao Polu had already been informed and personally went out to greet them at the gate of the mansion.

Upon entering the council hall of the mansion, Zhao Polu dismissed his attendants.

Lin Feng told Su Wanyue and Bai Xiaohe to go to the back room to rest first, while he stayed behind to briefly recount his experiences since heading south.

Zhao Polu's expression shifted between surprise and anger, and then to solemnity. After Lin Feng finished speaking, the hall fell silent.

"Furthermore, I have been secretly ordered to investigate the whereabouts of His Highness Prince Jing," Lin Feng said in a deep voice.

"It has now been ascertained that His Highness Prince Jing's whereabouts have been elusive for many years. He is currently living in seclusion in a remote mountain in the southern border, detached from worldly affairs. Some of his former subordinates have gone into hiding, their actions unpredictable. Some of them may have connections with Feng Kun, or even certain forces in the court. However, the key clues were lost with Feng Kun's defection, His Highness Prince Jing's whereabouts are a mystery, and... he seems to have no intention of getting involved in court intrigues again. This humble general is incompetent and has failed to meet with His Highness to ascertain the whereabouts of all his former subordinates. I beg the Commander-in-Chief for punishment." Lin Feng delivered his prepared statement.

"I will report this to His Majesty in secret, and His Majesty will make the decision. You should go back and rest first." Zhao Polu stood up.

As dusk approached, Lin Feng led Su Wanyue and Bai Xiaohe back to his own courtyard in the west of Shuofeng City.

Because Lin Feng had already sent someone to inform them that he had returned safely, the commotion in the courtyard was slightly greater than usual.

The sound of horses' hooves stopped at the alley entrance, and then light footsteps could be heard from inside the courtyard.

The door opened, and Yun Li, wearing a worn-out cotton-padded coat, stood in the doorway. When she saw Lin Feng, her eyes lit up, and then she looked at the two unfamiliar women who got out of the car behind him and paused slightly.

"Is my husband back?" she asked gently, her gaze sweeping politely over Su Wanyue and Bai Xiaohe.

"You're back." Lin Feng dismounted and nodded to Yun Li.

He turned to the side and introduced them, "This is Miss Su Wanyue, and this is Miss Bai Xiaohe. We met on the road and are traveling north together."

Su Wanyue stepped forward, curtsied, and said in a gentle voice, "Sister Yunli, I apologize for disturbing you."

Bai Xiaohe also gave a slight curtsy, without saying a word.

Yun Li quickly returned the greeting: "Miss Su, Miss Bai, you must be tired from your journey. Please come inside and sit down." She turned to the courtyard and called out, "Xiao Shuan, come and help Master unload his luggage and boil some water."

The boy Xiaoshuan, who was about half a year old, ran out in response and quickly began to move things.

Lin Feng said to Yun Li, "Prepare a room for Miss Su and Miss Bai. Keep dinner simple."

"Okay, sure," Yun Li replied.

He smiled gently at Su Wanyue and Bai Xiaohe, "Ladies, please come with me and let's see where we'll stay and rest for a bit."

She led Su Wanyue and Bai Xiaohe to the side room.

Shen Qingyi came out of the kitchen with a spatula in her hand. When she saw Lin Feng, she was slightly surprised and said, "Brother Lin." Her gaze swept over Su Wanyue and the other person, but she did not ask any questions. She then turned around and went back into the kitchen.

They cooked a few extra dishes for dinner. At the table, Yun Li and Shen Qingyi ate quietly, saying little, occasionally putting food on Lin Feng's plate.

Su Wanyue was a little reserved, eating in small bites. Bai Xiaohe remained silent.

Lin Feng mainly asked about their recent situations.

After the meal, Yun Li and Shen Qingyi cleared the dishes. Su Wanyue got up to help, but Yun Li gently persuaded her to stop: "Miss Su must be tired from your journey. Go and rest first. I'll take care of things here."

Bai Xiaohe said to Lin Feng, "Brother Lin, I'm going back to my room."

Lin Feng nodded: "Get some rest."

Once the sound of running water came from the kitchen, Lin Feng said to Yun Li, "Come inside when you're done tidying up. I have something to ask you."

Yun Li dried her hands and followed Lin Feng into the inner room. The door closed, shutting out the sounds from the outside.

"Husband, what is it?" Yun Li looked at him.

Lin Feng looked at her carefully in the lamplight. The curve of her eyebrows and the expression on her face when she was calm became clearer and clearer the more he looked.

He spoke slowly, his voice low: "Yun Li, tell me the truth, do you know who your biological parents are?"

Yun Li was slightly taken aback, the gentle expression on her face faded, and her eyelids drooped.

She was silent for a moment, then looked up again, her eyes filled with understanding. "My husband has figured something out, hasn't he?"

"When I went south, I met Prince Jing, Xiao Jue." Lin Feng looked into her eyes.

Yun Li nodded, showing no alarm, but rather as if she had been relieved of a heavy burden.

She walked to the bedside, took the old purse out from under the pillow, walked back, and handed it to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng opened it and took out the bluish-white jade clasp. On the back, the mark of "Xiao" was clearly visible under the light.

"Now that my husband has seen him... how is he?"

Yun Li's voice was calm, tinged with a distant melancholy.

"Looks fine, living in seclusion. She must be quite content." Lin Feng placed the jade clasp back in her hand and squeezed her slightly cool hand.

"This matter is too important. Just keep it to yourself and don't mention it to anyone, including Wanyue and Xiaohe."

"I understand." Yun Li nodded and leaned into his arms.

"I have a husband and a home, that's enough. Nothing else matters."

Lin Feng gently patted her back.

Three days later, a guard came to summon Lin Feng to the general's mansion.

Zhao Polu said, "A secret edict has already been sent from the capital, stating that since it has been confirmed that Prince Jing is living in seclusion and not involved in worldly affairs, there is no need to investigate further. The matter of his former subordinates will be handled by the court."

He pushed a document from the Ministry of War in front of him.

"Look. Your southward exploration has been meritorious, and the imperial court has promoted you to the rank of Fifth-Rank Cavalry General and transferred you to the position of Garrison Commander of Iron Wall City."

Zhao Polu's voice was calm. "The original garrison commander of Iron Wall City died in battle half a month ago. Han Tao is temporarily taking over. Go over there and take over the responsibilities."

Lin Feng picked up the document. The garrison commander of Ironwall City, a full-fledged position, with independent authority. This was the same rank as Zhao Polu's garrison commander of Zhenbei Pass, but with independent powers.

"This subordinate obeys the order." Lin Feng put down the document.

"Iron Wall City faces the Black Wolf and White Deer tribes directly, and has been in turmoil lately. Han Tao has been temporarily in charge for the time being, barely managing to maintain order. You are familiar with border affairs and have recently defeated Feng Kun, so the court has transferred you there to open up new prospects."

Zhao Polu looked at him. "Are you confident?"
