The Pretty Wife of General Jinxiu Huanian

Chapter 151 Foreign Enemy Provocation

Yunxi was sitting at the table in the mansion, carefully arranging all the affairs of the mansion. She looked so serious, just like when she was doing housework on weekdays.

While I was busy, I suddenly heard a burst of hurried footsteps, "thump thump thump" coming from far away.

"Madam, it's bad. News has come from the border that the foreign enemy is provoking us again!"

The servant Li Shun came in jogging, panting so much that his face flushed red with anxiety, and beads of sweat the size of beans were dripping down his forehead.

Yunxi's heart suddenly tightened, her hands trembled, and the account book in her hand almost fell to the ground.

Her eyes widened and she asked hurriedly, "Do you know the specific situation?"

Li Shun, breathing heavily, quickly replied, "I heard they're coming with great force, and the border guards are already on high alert."

Yunxi's brows knitted tightly together, his eyes filled with solemnity. After a moment's thought, he made a decisive decision and said, "Go and inform the prince immediately."

Li Shun replied "yes", turned around and ran out in a hurry, his steps were so hurried that he almost tripped on the threshold.

Yunxi paced back and forth in the hall, twisting her handkerchief tightly in her hands and muttering to herself.

Not long after, the prince walked into the hall with big strides, his face serious, as if he was about to go into battle to kill the enemy.

"Yunxi, the foreign enemy is invading. It looks like there will be another fierce battle."

The prince's voice was low and powerful.

Yunxi looked at the prince, "Prince, what should we do?"

The prince's eyes were like torches, his spine straightened, and he said in a deep voice: "Madam, don't panic. I will defend my country and my family and will never retreat."

The prince's face was full of determination, and that expression seemed to tell everyone that he was ready to face all difficulties and obstacles.

As he was speaking, General Zhao Meng came rushing in to ask for an audience. Zhao Meng was eight feet tall, with a broad back and broad waist, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he exuded a powerful aura.

He strode into the hall, clasped his fists in salute, and said in a voice as resounding as a bell: "Your Highness, I have heard of the foreign enemy's provocation, and have come to challenge them!"

His figure was as tall and straight as a pine tree, and his face was full of heroism, which made people feel at ease when they saw him.

The prince nodded slightly, looked at Zhao Meng seriously, and said, "General Zhao, this foreign enemy is coming with great force and should not be underestimated."

The prince's brows were twisted into a knot, and his expression was full of worry.

Zhao Meng said loudly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I am willing to be the vanguard and will definitely repel the foreign enemies!"

After saying that, he opened his eyes wide and waved his fist, as if there was an enemy right in front of him waiting for him to defeat.

Yunxi said from the side: "The general is brave, but please be careful."

Yunxi's eyes were full of concern, and her hands unconsciously clenched the corners of her clothes.

Zhao Meng looked at Yunxi and nodded solemnly: "Thank you for your concern, Madam."

At this moment, the spy hurried in, knelt on one knee, and said breathlessly: "Your Highness, I have found out the details."

The prince quickly signaled the spy to stand up and speak. The spy straightened up, swallowed, and said, "The foreign enemy has dispatched 50,000 elite soldiers this time, all of them well-equipped, and they also have many siege weapons."

After hearing this, the prince frowned even more tightly, the veins on his forehead bulged, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It seems that this battle is quite difficult."

Yunxi said softly, "Your Majesty, I believe you will win."

Yunxi walked forward and gently held the prince's hand, her eyes full of trust and encouragement.

The prince took Yunxi's hand, shook it firmly, and said in a firm tone: "Yunxi, the affairs of the mansion are entrusted to you."

Yunxi nodded and replied solemnly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will take care of everything."

The prince, Zhao Meng and others did not dare to delay for a moment and strode towards the military camp.

Yunxi stared at their receding backs, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.

After returning to the room, Yunxi was restless. She walked to the window to look out, and then paced back and forth in the room.

She kept repeating, "Your Majesty must return safely, you must return safely."

During those days, Yunxi couldn't eat or sleep well, and she lost a lot of weight.

She was thinking, what would happen if something happened to the prince?

But when she thought of the prince's usual bravery and decisiveness, she told herself that the prince would definitely return victorious.

After a few days, Yunxi took Xiao Cui to the street to buy some supplies for the soldiers.

I saw that the people on the street were also talking about the provocation of foreign enemies, and everyone had a worried look on their faces.

"These foreign enemies are too arrogant. We can't be afraid of them!" said an old man selling vegetables.

The old man had a face full of wrinkles, his eyes were wide open, his sleeves were rolled up, and he was holding a handful of vegetables tightly in his hand.

"That's right, with the prince and the generals here, we can definitely beat them back!"

A young man echoed this. He stood straight, had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and clenched his fists tightly as he spoke.

Yunxi listened to the people's discussions, feeling a surge of emotion. She stopped and looked at them, her brows slightly furrowed, a look of determination in her eyes.

After buying supplies, Yunxi prepared to return home. As he passed the city gate, he saw groups of soldiers hurriedly leaving the city, all with solemn expressions.

The soldiers walked hurriedly, their armor shining coldly in the sun, and some of them still had sweat on their faces.

Yunxi stood aside, watching quietly and praying silently in her heart.

After returning to the mansion, Yunxi was busy arranging people to deliver supplies to the military camp.

She personally directed the servants to carry the things, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, but she did not bother to wipe them off.

At night, Yunxi lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, her heart always worried about the war on the border.

She opened her eyes and looked at the bed curtains, her mind full of scenes of the prince and soldiers fighting bravely.

The next morning, Yunxi got up and went to the temple to pray for the prince and the soldiers.

In the temple, incense was curling up. Yunxi knelt devoutly in front of the Buddha statue, with his hands clasped together, his lips trembling slightly, and prayed silently.

"Madam, if you are sincere, the prince and the soldiers will surely return safely."

The nun beside him said this. She had a kind face and her eyes were gentle and comforting.

Yunxi thanked the nun and left the temple.

When I returned to the mansion, I heard a commotion before I even entered the door.

"What's going on?" Yunxi asked. She walked quickly into the yard, her brow furrowed.

It turned out that two maids in the mansion were quarreling over a trivial matter.

Yunxi's face darkened. "It's already this late, and you're still arguing here. Don't you know the soldiers out front are fighting bloody battles?"

The two maids were so frightened that their faces turned pale, their bodies trembled, and they quickly knelt down to admit their mistakes.

Yunxi sighed, "Everyone, get up. Don't be so ignorant in the future."

In the following days, Yunxi looked forward to news from the front line every day.

She often stood at the gate of the mansion, looking into the distance, hoping that someone would come to deliver a letter.

One day, Yunxi was pruning branches in the yard when she suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming from afar.

"Madam, madam, there's news from the front!" Li Shun shouted excitedly.

Li Shuncong jumped off his horse, running out of breath.

The scissors in Yunxi's hand fell to the ground with a "snap" sound, and she asked hurriedly: "Tell me, what's the situation?"
