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

Yue Lingyun, the youngest of the brothers, was a chubby little boy with a childlike face when he left the capital a few months ago. In less than four months, he has transformed into a lean, dark-faced young man.

Seeing him gazing longingly at the food box in her hand, Wen Rushi was filled with emotion.

Fighting a war is a really tough job.

Wen Rushi handed him a food box. "The food is all here. Help yourself to whatever you want to eat."

Wen Rushi was too lazy to greet the others.

Yue Lingyun opened the food box, and his eyes lit up immediately upon seeing several large pork knuckles.

He used to love eating meat, but he never craved it.

Once he arrived at the military camp, he ate coarse grains, wild vegetables, and cornbread every day, and all he could think about was eating meat.

Seeing this braised pork knuckle made my mouth water.

"Sister-in-law, you understand me best. I'm dreaming about eating meat right now."

The Yue brothers couldn't help but swallow when they saw the shiny pork knuckle, but out of politeness, neither of them spoke up for a moment.

The Great Jin Dynasty had been established for over three hundred years. The court was filled with factions, and officials formed cliques and acted independently.

The civil officials in the court have always looked down on military generals like them. The supplies at the border were very tight, and even though they were the general's nephew and son, they ate the same food as the soldiers in the military camp and received no special treatment.

As newly recruited soldiers, the three of them couldn't leave the camp to have a treat like Yue Lingyuan could.

This is also why Yue Lingyun lost so much weight in just a few months.

If you don't eat well and you're never full, it's no wonder you lose weight.

It's impossible not to crave meat.

Even though Yue Lingfeng and his companions had said some unpleasant things, they couldn't help themselves and shamelessly started fighting with Yue Lingyun for the braised pork knuckle.

Yue Lingyuan did not compete with his three younger brothers.

He lifted the tent flap, glanced at the sky outside, and said, "It's getting late. If we don't go back soon, the city gates will be closing. I'll take you back first."

Wen Rushi had already achieved her goal and could leave at any time, but she hadn't forgotten what her sister-in-law had said before.

She saw Yue Lingshan give her a wink.

Yue Lingshan immediately understood her sister-in-law's meaning and said, "Brother, I want to join the army and become a female soldier to fight on the battlefield."

Upon hearing this, Yue Lingfeng and the others stopped eating their pork knuckles and all looked at Yue Lingshan.

"Little sister, fighting is tough. We older brothers can handle this kind of hardship. You should just be a pampered young lady!" Yue Lingfeng put down the pork knuckle in his hand and asked doubtfully.

Yue Lingyuan stared intently into Yue Lingshan's eyes and asked, "Have you thought it through?"

Yue Lingshan replied earnestly, "Yes, I've made up my mind. You men can go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and we women are no less capable. I can be like General Xiang Ying!"

Regardless of General Xiang Ying's personal conduct, she is still worthy of her respect in terms of righteousness.

"Okay, I agree. You and your sister-in-law go back and pack your things. We'll go to the military camp together tomorrow." Yue Lingyuan agreed readily.

If my sister were to die on the battlefield in the future, it would be better than being sent to the barbarian camp by those treacherous villains in the court.

"Brother, how could you agree to this? This is war, how can we treat it so lightly?" Yue Lingfeng said with a look of disapproval.

"Fifth Sister has practiced martial arts since childhood and is no less skilled than you. If you can go to the battlefield, she can naturally go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make contributions." Yue Lingyuan left only this sentence before leaving the tent first.

"Sister-in-law, let's go." Yue Lingshan was overjoyed and quickly pulled Wen Rushi away together.

Before coming, she had imagined all sorts of reasons why her older brother would refuse her, but she never dreamed that he would be so easy to talk to this time.

"Thank you, big brother! I definitely won't let you down!" She jogged to catch up with Yue Lingyuan.

Wen Rushi was pulled along and had no choice but to run.

As soon as they got closer, they heard Yue Lingyuan instructing his sister-in-law, "The battlefield is not child's play. At best, you will be injured; at worst, you will lose your life. From today onwards, you must train hard to increase your chances of survival."

"Don't worry, brother, I'll start practicing as soon as I get back."

………………

After Yue Lingyuan escorted the two women back to the general's mansion, he didn't rush to leave but stayed to rest for the night before returning to the military camp.

Upon hearing this, he returned to the general's mansion and immediately ordered hot water to be delivered.

Now that Wen Rushi has spiritual energy, she is too lazy to clean the filth off her body bit by bit.

Once inside the bathroom, she used a cleansing spell, which cleaned away all the grime from her body. As she expected, the colors of her disguise were also removed, and in the blink of an eye, she returned to her original appearance.

After taking a quick bath and putting on her disguise, Wen Rushi couldn't wait to return to her room to prepare for cultivation.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she pushed open the door, before she could even step inside, she saw Yue Lingyuan sitting upright at the round table in the room, dressed in casual clothes.

"Why are you here?" Wen Rushi asked impatiently.

If it weren't for the fact that the mud had entered her body and left a layer of puddles on her skin, the first thing she would have done upon entering the room would have been to cultivate.

Yue Lingyuan's arrival has once again disrupted her cultivation.

His impatience was evident on his face.

Yue Lingyuan was puzzled when he saw her like this. In his memories, Madam Wen Rushi did not seem to treat him this way. Why was she so impatient now?

Could it really be because of his affair with Xiang Ying?

"My relationship with General Xiang Ying is not what you think."

Since his rebirth, matters of love and romance have been completely out of his mind, and his relationship with Xiang Ying was merely a matter of official business.

Wen Rushi was somewhat baffled by Yue Lingyuan's sudden explanation.

"It's alright, you don't need to explain to me. If necessary, we can get a divorce. However, I have one request: no matter what happens between us, I still want to stay in the military as a medic."

Seeing that she wasn't just sulking, Yue Lingyuan pursed his lips, his face growing even colder.

Even if he were slow to realize it, he understood that Wen Rushi truly didn't care about him at all.

However, when he recalled the taboos that Wen Rushi had mentioned when teaching him the techniques, his discomfort vanished completely.

"I've already taught the cultivation technique you gave me to Ling Feng and the others. I'm sorry, the situation was special at the time, and I didn't tell you beforehand."

Yue Lingyuan's apology was sincere.

If he hadn't failed to merge his memories from both lives after his rebirth, he would never have taught his younger brothers the cultivation techniques without Wen Rushi's consent.

As far as Wen Rushi was concerned, the cultivation technique she gave Yue Lingyuan was already commonplace, so she naturally didn't care.

"It's alright. I'm sure my grandmaster would also like to see someone carry on his legacy."

Seeing that she didn't care, Yue Lingyuan breathed a sigh of relief and asked in confusion, "However, it seems that not just anyone can practice that technique. Ling Dong and Ling Feng have been practicing for a long time, but they haven't made any progress. They can't sense the glowing spiritual energy around them."

Wen Rushi gave Yue Lingyuan a deep look.

Cultivation techniques have always been practiced only by those with spiritual roots, and Yue Lingyuan was lucky enough to be one of them.

Obviously, Yue Lingfeng and the others were not so lucky; without spiritual roots, they naturally couldn't sense spiritual energy.
