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

As night fell, the military camp gradually quieted down.

There were no wounded soldiers today, so Wen Rushi had a rare moment of leisure.

Yue Lingyuan arrived at the camp where Wen Rushi was located.

"Thank you for today's matter." Yue Lingyuan personally carried in a dish of wine and food.

Wen Rushi was somewhat surprised, looking at the wine pot on the tray.

The Great Jin Dynasty values ​​filial piety. When one's parents or other close relatives pass away, one must observe mourning and refrain from eating meat or drinking alcohol.

Yue Lingyuan placed the tray on the table. "This wine is for Father."

Wen Rushi nodded knowingly.

She thought Yue Lingyuan was too happy and that's why he lost his composure.

"If Father were alive today, he would be happy for you."

Yue Lingyuan gave a bitter smile, "If it weren't for your help today, I'm afraid everyone would have perished in the flames."

Wen Rushi did not deny his abilities, saying, "I did not find anyone setting up the formation on the battlefield today; that person is not at the front line."

"If the person behind this isn't eliminated, he'll use other tricks on the battlefield later. You'd better find out where that person is. Once you find out, I can take care of him."

Yue Lingyuan's eyes lit up immediately.

These past few times, he has come to a complete understanding that the barbarians' wars are not just about fighting; the key to their great defeats lies in the methods that ordinary people cannot defend against.

Now that Wen Rushi is willing to solve the fundamental problem, this is a pleasant surprise for Yue Lingyuan.

"Alright, I'll arrange for someone to investigate the information about the person who set up the formation right away." Yue Lingyuan was a little excited. He didn't even finish his meal. He got up and left as soon as he sat down.

Wen Rushi happened to be a little hungry, and too lazy to wait for him, she picked up her chopsticks and started eating.

They had only taken a couple of bites when the curtain moved, and Yue Lingshan, Yue Lingyun and his sister, along with Xiang Ying and the others, all arrived.

Yue Lingshan and Yue Lingyun both had smiles on their faces.

Clearly, the two were quite pleased with their performance on the battlefield today.

Indeed, for young generals like them who were just starting out, it was a very prestigious thing to challenge an enemy general on the battlefield for the first time and win three times in a row.

The excitement of the two men only made the brothers Yue Lingdong and Yue Lingfeng, who were standing to the side, even more dejected.

Yue Lingfeng lost a leg and could not go to the battlefield.

If General Yue hadn't suddenly died in battle, he should have returned to the capital.

Seeing his younger brother and sister wreaking havoc today, Yue Lingdong realized that his martial arts skills were no worse than theirs, yet he couldn't match them. He knew exactly why.

He was extremely disappointed that he couldn't cultivate his elder brother's techniques.

Although Xiang Ying was slightly better than Yue Lingdong, she still envied him.

Although she is capable of cultivation, she hasn't even entered the door.

"Why are you here now?" Wen Rushi put down her chopsticks.

Yue Lingshan plopped down next to Wen Rushi. "Sister-in-law, I don't know what they're doing here. I ran into them at your door. I was just curious how you made it rain and cause such a big flood."

As soon as she finished speaking, the eyes of the others who had heard this lit up immediately.

Seeing that they really wanted to know, Wen Rushi stopped hiding it and said, "It's just magic."

"What kind of magic?" they asked in unison.

"The art of drawing water from all corners of the world".

"But why doesn't that water hurt our own people? Does the water recognize people?" Xiang Ying's question was also the question most often discussed by the soldiers in the camp.

After all, everyone had witnessed the flood uprooting trees without harming them in the slightest; how could this not shock and arouse curiosity?

"Those barbarian soldiers carried formations. I controlled the flood to break the formations, so naturally I didn't harm anyone else," Wen explained.

They all stared at Wen Rushi in shock.

"Can I be like that someday?" Yue Lingyun asked with longing.

Wen Rushi nodded. "If your spiritual power is sufficient, then it's possible."

"The cultivation technique my sister-in-law gave me is so powerful! I must work even harder to cultivate it in the future," Yue Lingyun said with a grin.

Yue Lingdong and Yue Lingfeng couldn't bring themselves to laugh.

Yue Lingdong was still unwilling to give up. "Sister-in-law, is it really true that I can't practice the martial arts technique you gave my brother?"

Upon hearing this, Yue Lingfeng also looked over expectantly.

Wen Rushi nodded.

Regardless of whether they have spiritual roots or not, they haven't been able to draw qi into their bodies after so long, which clearly means they don't have much talent. It would be better if they didn't practice at all.

However, Yue Lingdong was not willing to give up.

"Sister-in-law, why don't you take a look at me? Just like you did with Xiang Ying." He said with a hint of pleading.

For a soldier, the most tempting thing is not gold and silver treasures, but top-level martial arts secrets.

This is a temptation that no one can resist.

If everyone else fails, he will give up.

Unfortunately, out of the group, only those two were not up to the task. How could anyone accept that?

Although Yue Lingfeng had lost a leg, he didn't give up on himself and nodded vigorously beside him.

"Give me your hand." Wen Rushi reached out to take his pulse, but in reality, she was using her divine sense to examine him.

After taking the pulses of the two men, Wen Rushi shook his head.

"Without spiritual roots, you can't cultivate."

The two brothers were greatly disappointed.

Yue Lingshan and Yue Lingyun were secretly overjoyed.

"Second brother, third brother, don't be too disappointed. There aren't many people in the entire army who have spiritual roots," Yue Lingyun comforted him with a grin.

Xiang Ying nodded in comfort, "Yes, people with spiritual roots are one in ten thousand; it's normal that there aren't any."

As far as Yue Lingdong and his companion were concerned, it would have been better if these two hadn't offered them any comfort.

"Sister-in-law, if you encounter a situation like today on the battlefield again, will you still step in?" Yue Lingshan asked curiously.

"Um."

Yue Lingdong was somewhat displeased. "Sister-in-law, if you're so capable, why don't you just kill all those barbarians?"

Yue Lingfeng nodded in agreement, "That's right, just like today, a single, overwhelming force can wipe out all those barbarians in an instant. In that case, the Great Jin will no longer have any soldiers who die in battle."

"If my sister-in-law had acted sooner, my uncle wouldn't have died in battle..."

The two brothers found the argument increasingly convincing.

Wen Rushi's face darkened.

Seeing that they were going on and on, getting increasingly unreasonable, Yue Lingshan coldly interrupted them, "Second brother, third brother, that's enough! Guarding the border is the responsibility of all our soldiers. How can you place all the responsibility on your sister-in-law alone?"

Xiang Ying nodded. "Ling Shan is right. Besides, the Great Jin Dynasty has more than just a border problem. Even without the Northern Barbarians, there are still internal traitors and parasites. It's not just one person's problem."

Yue Lingyun glanced at her two older brothers, then at Yue Lingshan and Xiang Ying, and said confidently, "Xiang Ying and I have also started cultivating. It's only a matter of time before we drive the barbarians out of the grasslands!"

Wen Rushi stood up. "I need to rest now, you can all go back!"

Upon hearing this, Yue Lingdong and Yue Lingfeng paused for a moment, then turned and left the tent.

Seeing this, Yue Lingshan and Xiang Ying decided not to linger any longer. After talking for a while, they also left.

Not long after the group left, Yue Lingyuan visited Wen Rushi's tent again.

"I was just about to send a message by carrier pigeon, but I didn't expect the message to come over first."

"What news?"

Wen Rushi knew that if it weren't related to the person who set up the formation, Yue Lingyuan wouldn't have made a special trip to tell her.
