Wei Tengfei pulled back his train of thought. Seeing that there were two dishes and a soup with steam rising, and a big pile of rice piled high, he asked Xiaowan, "You made it today too."

Xiaowan laughed: "My cooking skills are not good, please take care of it. If my Uncle Biao comes, I can eat delicious food for all of you."

"What's wrong with that? I've eaten your cooking these past few days, my appetite is huge, my waist is even thicker, I still think Ling Chaofeng is lucky." However, Wei Tengfei straightforwardly picked up his chopsticks and started to eat.

No matter how hard the Xiaowan worked, it was worth it. She invited Wei Tengfei to eat slowly, and was about to leave, when the general asked her: "How is Hanxi?"

Xiaowan replied, "Every day is getting better and better. Although it still hurts, I can endure the pain. I've eaten too much!"

Wei Tengfei said: It's hard on you to take care of her. If she wants to eat anything, tell her to just open her mouth.

The Xiaowan laughed: "General you know, Hanxi only has one thing on her mind."

Wei Tengfei laughed bitterly: "I got it, there should be news in two days. Tell her to wait a little longer."

In the time it takes to speak, Ling Chaofeng had finished eating, and he praised Xiaowan to the point that his face turned red and he ran off. Ling Chaofeng waited for Wei Tengfei to finish eating, and the two of them walked towards the river side.

As they walked past the unwithered chrysanthemums, the two men decided to avoid them. They couldn't bear to step on the flowers.

Wei Tengfei said, "The Supreme Emperor worked hard his entire life, and truly built a foundation of ten thousand generations. Look at this village in the mountains, where even the villagers can eat their fill, how hard is it for people to do such a thing?"

"The current Emperor is also trying to encourage us." Ling Chaofeng said, "There are still the General Wei and other generals protecting their families, so the citizens can live and work happily."

Wei Tengfei said: "Rumor has it that in twenty days, Xiluo's fleet will arrive at my Daqi's coastal area. I really want to go and take a look."

He picked up a pebble and threw it. The pebble jumped continuously on the surface of the water, crossed the river, and sank to the bottom.

Ling Chaofeng asked, "What does the emperor mean?"

Wei Tengfei laughed bitterly: "The orders have not been delivered yet, and there is no news of them opening the mountain. What are they discussing for so long? On the other hand, news of Bi Zhenye had arrived, saying that after he finished what he was doing, he immediately came over to bring his sister back to the capital.

"In all dynasties and dynasties, there has been the invasion of the sea bandits. However, there aren't many people who really wanted to fight." Ling Chaofeng said, but this time, it doesn't seem to be that simple.

Wei Tengfei said dejectedly: "The Emperor did not bring us to Liang Nation. If there is a war this time, I'm afraid the Emperor …"

However, Ling Chaofeng said, "General, the Xiluo is not only coming from the coastal areas, there are also scattered small and small islands and island dwellers. If we allow the Xiluo's people to occupy those islands as the base of reference, and then attack my Daqi from the shore, then that would be the best time and place."

Wei Tengfei was not familiar with the sea area, upon hearing this, his heart was shocked. Xiluo did not come with good intentions, war would erupt at any moment, and under the flames of war, the most suffering were still the commoners.

"Allow me …" "Think again." Wei Tengfei clenched his fists.

During the night, because Hanxi did not need anyone to be by her side at all times, Xiaowan and Ling Chaofeng rested together.

Xiaowan said that she had seen how worried General Wei was these few days. She asked her husband, "Is something big going to happen?"

Ling Chaofeng said: "It is possible that there will be a war along the coast, General is worried about the country's affairs."

The Xiaowan was stunned and asked puzzledly: "Someone from the Xiluo? "But we're so far away …"

Ling Chaofeng had heard from the Xiaowan that she was very at ease because the countries that were too far apart would not fight, but that was not the case. He said to Little Bowl, "They can come by boat, armed with gunpowder, and the most troubling thing is that our coast is so long that you don't even know where they'll land. Maybe this side is heavily concentrated, and the other side is already deep inland, undefended."

Xiaowan nodded her head gravely. "Husband, I have never thought about who I would talk about national affairs with one day."

Ling Chaofeng laughed: How do you feel now?

The Xiaowan said, "I want to go and cook for the soldiers and wash their clothes."

Ling Chaofeng kissed her: "Aren't you afraid?"

The Xiaowan said proudly: "As long as Hubby is here, I'm not afraid."

The next day, before the sky brightened, Xiaowan got up early and prepared to make breakfast for everyone. Just as she was about to light the stove with firewood, she saw two people riding over hurriedly.

Ling Chaofeng and Wei Tengfei had come out, they did not expect that it would be the emperor's decree. Yesterday, they were still muttering about how slow they were in the capital, and in the blink of an eye, the imperial decree arrived.

As expected, Ling Chaofeng and Wei Tengfei could think of countless things. How could they not think of the emperor's order for Wei Tengfei to quickly leave this place for the coastal areas to assist the local army and move all the people from the nearby islands into the interior?

Wei Tengfei's heart was in turmoil, he immediately sent people back to the Chuanyu to transfer troops, while he himself led the other people to the road, not wasting even a day, and left on the same day.

He asked Ling Chaofeng and Xiaowan to stay here. When Bi Zhenye came to pick his up, Xiaowan actually asked: "General, are you not bringing my husband?"

Wei Tengfei laughed: "Xiaowan, you are willing to let your husband go to war."

The Xiaowan nodded, then shook her head and said bravely: "We won't be willing, but if our Daqi isn't peaceful, we won't have a good life either. "General, if we lack people to cook and light the fire, everyone in our inn can do it."

"Truly an impressive young lady." Wei Tengfei laughed happily and then said to Ling Chaofeng, "Please take care of the supplies for my Chuanyu’s Army."

Ling Chaofeng said: "General, don't worry, this is my expertise."

While he was speaking, his subordinates had already equipped themselves and were moving extremely quickly. Wei Tengfei's mount was brought over, the horses' hooves scraping against the ground, he was already prepared to gallop a thousand miles.

Wei Tengfei looked at the house, he moved a few steps, but immediately stopped, and said to Xiaowan: I'll leave Miss Bi to you, you tell her, I will send her to Siping Mansion.

"Yes, General." Xiaowan agreed.

Wei Tengfei gallantly jumped on his horse, looked at Hanxi's house, raised his whip, and rushed forward like an arrow leaving the bow.

Inside the house, Hanxi listened to the sounds coming from outside the door as the rumbling sounds of the horses' hooves faded away. She knew that the General Wei and her subordinates had left.

They had all left, who would send her to the Siping Mansion? But that was not important now, the Xiaowan had told her that there would probably be a war along the coast.

Right now, she could only hope that the General Wei would win without a hitch, drive the enemy far away, and pray that the General Wei could safely return to the Chuanyu. As for going to the Siping Mansion, she could go herself, but she believed even more that whatever Wei Tengfei promised her, he wouldn't go back on his words.

Not long after, Xiaowan came in with the medicine, and after Siyan finished drinking it, she said that Young Master Bi would come to pick her up very soon, and that time, they would naturally part ways.

"Xiaowan, if I have the chance in the future, I will definitely repay you." Hanxi said gratefully.

"Then it's better if you don't repay me. If you don't, then it means that I'm fine, right?" The Xiaowan smiled leisurely as she said to Hanxi, "You are the younger sister of our Ershan, the younger sister of my husband. "In the future, I'll come to the capital for a stroll. You can bring me to eat delicious food."

Hanxi nodded her head repeatedly, she no longer liked to cry, although she was moved and grateful, it was laughable that she looked so much better than crying.

They patiently waited here. As if sensing the impending challenge of a national affair, Bi Zhenye couldn't bear to see his sister alone, so he hurriedly rushed over to pick her up.

On the day they parted, Hanxi was unable to hold back her tears. Bi Zhenye thanked Ling Chaofeng and Xiaowan profusely, and the two places separated. The carriage drove off into the distance, and Xiaowan used her strength to wave towards Hanxi.

"Master, aren't you going to the front?" On the way back, the Xiaowan asked Ling Chaofeng, "Don't worry about me. If you want to go, and it's inconvenient to bring me along, I won't pester you."

Ling Chaofeng said calmly, "I have something that I am most adept at. By arranging the food and supplies properly, it will allow the General Wei and soldiers to have no worries. This time, if we go against the Xiluo, our biggest advantage will be our food and fodder, and if they leave their homeland, they can only rely on looting for a long time.

Xiaowan said, "They can fish and eat at sea."

Seeing that the Xiaowan was serious, Ling Chaofeng could not help but smile and asked: "What about the water?"

Xiaowan frowned as she thought about it. "Is it alright if it rains …"

After a few days of bumpy ride, Ling Chaofeng and Xiaowan finally returned to the Baisha Town Realm. They bought some candy and snacks in town before rushing home.

They came back very suddenly, and didn't have time to send any messages to their home. Xiaowan had even said that she would give Little Pei a pleasant surprise, but she didn't know that his son had already welcomed them in the air, and followed them back to their home.

Before the horse carriage even stopped in front of the inn, a chubby little fellow ran out. Xiaowan saw it and immediately told her husband to stop the carriage.

"Mother …" ran over with her short legs and threw herself into her mother's embrace. Xiaowan held him tightly, kissed him on the face and then kissed him again and again, saying, "Little Pei is so obedient, I missed you so much."

"Mother has been gone for a long, long time." Little Pei charmingly mumbled, "I thought that you and Daddy would not want me anymore. Since Grandma said that it would snow and you guys would definitely come back, I've been looking forward to the snow every day."

Xiaowan's eyes became moist, she hugged Little Pei and said, "Mother is not good, Mother doesn't know how to write either, I can't even send you a letter."

Seeing that his father had come, Little Pei whispered, "Mother, I haven't finished the homework that father had given me."

Xiaowan said lovingly, "I'm not afraid of father, as long as mother is here."

She steadily carried the little guy and ran back to the tavern as Little Pei shouted loudly, "Grandma, my mother is back!"
