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

The two soon arrived at the medical tent.

Wen Rushi took her pulse and used his divine sense to probe her dantian.

Unexpectedly, Xiang Ying actually possessed spiritual roots, and even a five-elemental spiritual root, with all five elements present.

This was a good thing in her previous cultivation world.

But here, the best you can achieve in your lifetime is only the second stage of Qi Refining.

"Not bad, five spiritual roots, but cultivating with five spiritual roots here is relatively slow."

Upon hearing that she possessed spiritual roots, Xiang Ying disregarded everything else and immediately became incredibly excited. "I have spiritual roots! That's wonderful!"

Don't think she doesn't know; Yue Lingdong and Yue Lingshan all practice martial arts in private.

However, Yue Lingfeng and Yue Lingdong have not even entered the realm of spiritual cultivation after so long, so they probably do not have spiritual roots.

The youngest, Yue Lingyun, had only just begun to cultivate internal energy two days ago, and he was acting all high and mighty.

And then there's Yue Lingshan, she can even spit out flames.

Xiang Ying couldn't help but giggle at the thought that she would soon be able to move as lightly as a swallow and unleash all kinds of magic.

After Xiang Ying, Yue Lingyuan would bring her over to Wen Rushi for a look whenever he had free time.

Just as Xiang Ying had guessed, Yue Lingfeng and Yue Lingdong had no spiritual roots, so they couldn't even sense spiritual energy.

Another one with spiritual roots is Yue Lingyun, who has three spiritual roots.

It took half a year of cultivation to draw qi into the body.

As for the rest, Wen Rushi looked at many people, but found no one with spiritual roots.

Only then did Yue Lingyuan give up, and he began to watch the other three people with spiritual roots cultivate every night.

At the end of the battle, the Jin dynasty narrowly won.

Both sides suffered heavy casualties.

Despite this, the Northern Barbarians not only did not withdraw their troops, but the various tribes once again amassed 100,000 barbarian soldiers.

After this period of attrition, the number of soldiers at Longmen Pass that could be deployed to the battlefield was less than 100,000.

One hundred thousand, to one hundred thousand, the difference isn't that big.

But everyone could sense that the Northern Barbarians would not give up until they had taken a bite out of the Great Jin.

In fact it is.

Just in case, General Yue personally wrote a letter to the imperial court and to Xiao Ren, who was guarding Qilin Pass next door, requesting assistance.

To everyone's surprise, General Xiao ignored him, simply saying that the barbarians outside the pass were restless and that he could not send troops to ask for help for the time being, thus dismissing him.

General Yue had no choice but to lead his troops to defend Longmen Pass.

As for the imperial court, there has been no response since the letter was sent.

The Northern Barbarians once again amassed their forces and approached Longmen Pass.

This time, perhaps it was because the formation had been broken with explosives earlier.

This time, the barbarians did not use the formation to conceal their presence.

The moment the bugle sounded, the enemy troops charged towards the Jin soldiers.

This time, it was General Yue who led the army.

After the cavalry charged into the Northern Barbarian soldiers, General Yue observed the situation and, seeing nothing amiss, led his men into the battlefield.

To everyone's surprise, the seemingly ordinary battlefield transformed into a scene of yellow sand and iron spears the moment the two armies clashed.

Blood instantly stained the entire battlefield red.

In this battle, the Great Jin suffered a crushing defeat!

General Yue Fei has died in battle!

The remaining three thousand soldiers were fought off by Yue Lingyuan, who led his men with all his might.

Shocking the government and the public!

General Yue, who guarded Longmen Pass for twenty years, died in battle outside Longmen Pass!

Upon receiving the news, the imperial court was immediately embroiled in a heated debate.

Some sought peace, while others condemned General Yue for allowing his eldest son to venture deep into the grasslands, thus inviting wolves into the house.

The civil and military officials were arguing fiercely.

Not a single person thought to provide any supplies.

News about the border was spreading everywhere in the city.

The first person said that General Yue was seriously injured, unconscious, and about to die.

Someone said that General Yue had suffered a defeat and probably wouldn't be able to hold out for long.

This person said that the barbarians were extremely fierce and were about to invade Longmen Pass.

After hearing the news of General Yue's death in battle, Wen Qingci remained in shock for a long time.

How could this happen?

Didn't Yue Lingyuan just drive the Northern Barbarians back to their homeland?

How come so many men have made a comeback so quickly?

If General Yue died in battle just like in the previous life, does that mean that Yue Lingyuan will not be able to defend Longmen Pass this time either?

If Longmen Pass couldn't be defended, Xiao Ren of Qilin Pass was just a fence-sitter who would waver between two sides and wouldn't fight the barbarians with any effort.

That Great Jin Dynasty...

So, this life will be just like the last one...

Thinking of this, Wen Qingci's body began to tremble uncontrollably.

What should I do?

What should she do?

Wen Qingci was so anxious that he paced back and forth.

Cai Zhixing, who was also reborn, had completely different feelings from Wen Qingci.

He will never be able to become an official in the Great Jin Dynasty.

But things are different in the new dynasty.

The new dynasty did not restrict disabled people from becoming officials.

As long as you have the connections.

However, it's too early to talk about that now; the barbarians haven't invaded yet.

However, he has already begun preparations.

Since the news of General Yue's death in battle spread, he has been wandering around the general's mansion from time to time.

He attempted to run into his wife from his previous life, Wen Rushi.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that Wen Rushi was at the border thousands of miles away, braving the wind and sand to treat wounded soldiers.

Wen Rushi had already learned about the situation on the battlefield from the wounded soldiers.

At that moment, when the two armies clashed, the battlefield scene suddenly changed; the battlefield, filled with yellow sand, transformed into an endless forest ablaze.

The trees were all on fire; if you got too close, your skin would burn.

The worst part is that those trees can also ambush people.

It was only after General Yue discovered the strangeness of the tree that they were able to escape by cutting a path through it.

Wen Rushi took a deep breath.

She had assumed that since the opposing side had set up a concealment formation, and General Yue and his men already had a way to break it, nothing unexpected would happen. But she never expected...

She was careless.

The person behind it all had far more tricks up their sleeve than she had imagined.

It seems that next time, she will have to go to the battlefield to keep an eye on things.

In this battle, General Yue died, leaving the army camp leaderless. In the end, the veteran generals in General Yue Lingyuan's camp challenged all the others and finally secured the position of commander.

At this time, General Yue's body was in the military camp.

In the past, the Yue family would have had to escort the coffin back to Beijing.

But the barbarians outside the pass are eyeing us covetously.

The matter of escorting the coffin back to the capital had to be postponed.

At present, the priority should naturally be resisting the enemy.

After Yue Lingyuan succeeded General Yue as the commander-in-chief of the army, Wen Rushi became even busier.
