Chapter 111 The war finally subsides, and Xin'an embraces him again.
"Not good!" Su Jinxin roared, "That old scoundrel Li Mao has actually colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country!" It turned out that on the distant hillside, an enemy flag was raised, and under the flag was none other than Li Mao, the corrupt official who had been dismissed and investigated!
This old scoundrel actually colluded with the enemy army, intending to cut off border supplies!
"Madam, what do we do now?" the subordinate asked anxiously. This was a classic case of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!
Su Jinxin narrowed her eyes, a cold glint flashing within them.
"Don't panic, hold your ground! Notify General Wang that we've been tricked by that old bastard Li Mao!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the enemy general led his army to press on the border, the shouts of battle shaking the heavens and the earth.
The enemy's offensive was overwhelming. Although Su Jinxin's guards were well-trained, they gradually became unable to cope with the sudden attack from both sides.
To make matters worse, the enemy had somehow learned a new formation, making their attacks unpredictable and difficult to counter. Su Jinxin's guards were at a loss for how to respond.
"Madam, their formation is so strange, our men are starting to struggle!" a guard captain reported, sweating profusely.
Su Jinxin frowned, her eyes blazing as she stared intently at the enemy's changing formation.
“Interesting,” she suddenly sneered. “This formation looks intimidating, but it’s full of flaws. Pass down the order: shield bearers, advance and form a goose formation; spearmen, attack from the flanks; archers, aim at the enemy general and fire hard!”
Upon receiving the order, the guards immediately changed formation, and the previously somewhat scattered formation instantly stabilized.
The shield-bearers, forming a wedge formation, acted like an impregnable fortress, blocking the enemy's frontal assault. Meanwhile, the spearmen seized the opportunity to launch a fierce attack from the flanks, piercing the enemy's formation like sharp knives.
The enemy general was clearly surprised that Su Jinxin could see through his formation so quickly, and his face immediately turned ashen.
"Damn it! This woman's got some skills!" he roared, drew his sword, and personally joined the fight.
Su Jinxin stared at him coldly, her eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Ha, you think you can stop me? You overestimate yourself!" She drew her soft sword from her waist, and with a flash, she rushed towards the enemy general like a ghost... Just then, the sound of rapid hoofbeats came from afar.
"Report! General Wang's reinforcements have arrived!"
General Wang's reinforcements arrived like divine soldiers, instantly turning the tide of the battle.
The enemy was attacked from both sides, their morale collapsed, and their originally aggressive offensive became weak and ineffective.
Su Jinxin's side seemed to have divine assistance. Her guards were all like they had been injected with chicken blood, roaring and charging towards the enemy. They were like a group of human bulldozers, and wherever they went, the enemy troops collapsed.
When the enemy general saw this, his face turned green.
"Fuck you! We've fallen for your trap!" he cursed, but it was too late to change anything.
Just as Su Jinxin was about to capture the enemy general, she suddenly heard deafening battle shouts coming from afar.
She looked up and saw an army charging toward her with thunderous force. The general at the head of the army was none other than her husband, Yan Cheng'an!
"Husband, you're finally here!" Su Jinxin exclaimed excitedly, as if she had seen a savior.
Yan Cheng'an rode a tall horse, looking dashing and heroic, like a god descending to earth.
"Honey, I'm late! Are you hurt?" he asked with concern, his eyes filled with love.
"I'm fine, I just miss you a little." Su Jinxin smiled shyly, instantly transforming into a sweet, feminine woman.
"Ahem!" The enemy general coughed awkwardly twice. "Gentlemen, could you please deal with my prisoner first?"
Yan Cheng'an then noticed him and sneered, "You? You think you're worthy of being a prisoner? Men, tie him up!"
Enemy general: "..." This is really underestimating him!
Yan Cheng'an and General Wang joined forces to launch a final siege against the enemy.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the enemy general was filled with despair and only wanted to escape.
He took advantage of the chaos to escape, but was caught up by Yan Chengan.
"Trying to run? Not so easy!" Yan Cheng'an sneered, drew his sword, and pointed it straight at the enemy general's throat.
The enemy general was terrified and immediately knelt down, begging for mercy: "General, spare my life! I am willing to surrender!"
Yan Cheng'an remained unmoved, the tip of his sword pressed against the enemy general's throat, his eyes icy: "Trying to surrender now? Too late!"
"Wait!" Su Jinxin suddenly spoke up to stop him, "Don't kill him yet, I still have questions for him."
Yan Chengan looked at Su Jinxin with a puzzled expression: "What do you want to ask him?"
Su Jinxin walked up to the enemy general, stared at him sharply, and slowly asked, "Where is Li Mao?"
The enemy general's expression changed, his eyes flickered, and he stammered, "I...I don't know..."
"Looks like you're going to have to suffer the consequences!" Su Jinxin sneered, and suddenly a dagger appeared in her hand... The dagger in Su Jinxin's hand flashed coldly and went straight to the enemy general's throat.
The enemy general was terrified, and a stench filled the air around his crotch.
"I'll talk! I'll talk! Li Mao... he... he fled north!"
Yan Cheng'an snorted coldly, "You're smart to know what's good for you!" He then ordered his men to take the enemy general away.
He turned to Su Jinxin, his eyes full of tenderness: "Were you frightened?"
Su Jinxin shook her head and smiled sweetly: "This little scene won't scare me. But you, how did you get covered in blood? It breaks my heart to see you like this!"
Yan Cheng'an laughed heartily: "It's all enemy blood, but I'm perfectly fine! Look at me, I'm as energetic as can be!" As he spoke, he even showed off his biceps.
"Alright, alright, stop being so vain! Go and treat your wound, or it will get infected." Su Jinxin gave him a reproachful look, but her eyes were full of concern.
Yan Cheng'an obediently followed the military doctor to treat his wounds, while Su Jinxin walked up to General Wang, cupped her hands and saluted: "General Wang, this time it is thanks to your and General Yan's brave fighting that we were able to repel the enemy and protect the peace of the border."
General Wang quickly returned the greeting: "Miss Su, you are too modest. If it weren't for your timely delivery of provisions and supplies, we probably wouldn't have been able to hold out long ago. You deserve all the credit for this victory!"
Su Jinxin smiled modestly: "It's all for the country, it's what I should do."
In the distance, soldiers cheered and celebrated their hard-won victory.
As the sun set, it painted the sky a golden-red hue, casting a warm glow on Yan Chengan and Su Jinxin's faces.
After treating his wounds, Yan Chengan strode towards Su Jinxin.
He opened his arms, and Su Jinxin ran over, the two embracing tightly.
The surrounding soldiers cheered and applauded when they saw this.
"Wife, you're amazing! We won this time thanks to you!" Yan Chengan hugged Su Jinxin tightly and whispered in her ear.
Su Jinxin leaned against Yan Chengan's chest, feeling his strong body, and her heart was filled with happiness and a sense of security.
"My husband, you are the best! The way you bravely fight on the battlefield is so incredibly cool!"
The two embraced tightly, as if they were the only two people left in the world.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, forming a golden halo, like a beautiful painting.
"Ahem," General Wang walked over, breaking the warm atmosphere, "Congratulations to you both on your successful start! However..."
"But what?" Yan Chengan and Su Jinxin asked in unison.
General Wang smiled meaningfully: "However, how to distribute these battle merits is a difficult problem..."
As the smoke of battle dissipated, the cold wind at the border seemed to soften a bit.
Su Jinxin and Yan Chengan stood side by side, gazing at the setting sun in the distance, their reflections mirrored in each other's eyes.
When the good news reached the capital, the emperor was overjoyed and immediately issued an edict to reward Su Jinxin and Yan Chengan handsomely.
The list of rewards was astonishingly long, including tens of thousands of taels of gold, countless jewels, and mountains of silks and satins, not to mention the imperial plaques and various commercial privileges bestowed upon them—it was simply outrageously extravagant!
Riding this wave of opportunity, Su Jinxin's business empire expanded rapidly, its territory covering almost the entire country, making her incredibly wealthy!
In no time, Su Jinxin became a legendary figure, and her deeds were being talked about everywhere.
Some say she has a keen eye for talent, recognizing Yan Cheng'an's potential at a glance; others say she has extraordinary courage, daring to venture alone into enemy territory; still others say she is a business prodigy, capable of turning lead into gold, practically a reincarnation of the God of Wealth!
Of course, what people talk about most is her fairytale romance with Yan Chengan.
Fighting side by side on the battlefield and supporting each other in life, they are a match made in heaven, envied by all!
“Jin Xin,” Yan Cheng’an looked at Su Jin Xin with deep affection and held her hand, “For the rest of my life, I will protect you.”
Su Jinxin smiled sweetly and squeezed his hand back, "With you here, I'm not afraid of anything."
The two smiled at each other, intertwined their fingers, and slowly walked into the distance in the afterglow of the setting sun...
Life was blissful, and Su Jinxin's business was booming; everything was moving in the best possible direction.
However, on this day, Su Jinxin received a letter from afar, containing only a few words:
"Watch out for Li Mao, he's back..."
