The battle cries were deafening as enemies surged towards the general's mansion like a tidal wave. Xiao Yichen led the charge, clad in armor, spear in hand, his eyes gleaming with unwavering resolve. Each swing of his spear carried immense power, and enemies fell one after another, their blood splattering around him like blooming flowers of death.
Lin Wan'er and her friends quickly joined the battle. Lin Wan'er's swordsmanship remained sharp and fierce; her white robes fluttered in the wind, like a white lotus blooming on a blood-soaked battlefield. She weaved through the enemy ranks, easily tearing through their defenses wherever she went. Her friends also displayed their unique skills. The burly man wielded double axes, each swing felling a group of enemies; his roar was like thunder, shaking the minds of his foes. Another woman, skilled in throwing weapons, sent her projectiles flying like meteors, accurately striking vital points and catching her enemies completely off guard.
While fighting, Xiao Yichen observed the situation on the battlefield. He noticed that the enemy's attack was more ferocious than before, and their tactics had also changed. They seemed to have come prepared, specifically targeting the weaknesses in the General's Mansion's defenses. However, with the addition of Lin Wan'er and her friends, the General's Mansion's defenses were greatly strengthened, temporarily stabilizing the situation.
During a lull in the fighting, Xiao Yichen shouted, "Don't panic, everyone! Maintain formation and coordinate with each other!" His voice echoed across the battlefield, rousing the soldiers and Lin Wan'er and the others. The soldiers stood close together, forming defensive lines with shields and spears to repel the enemy's onslaught.
Lin Wan'er came to Xiao Yichen's side: "General, the enemy is coming in strong this time, we need to adjust our tactics."
Xiao Yichen nodded: "What are your thoughts, young lady?"
“We can send a surprise force to attack the enemy from the flank and disrupt their plans,” Lin Wan’er suggested.
Xiao Yichen thought for a moment and said, "This plan is feasible. General Li, you will lead a team of elite troops to flank the enemy from the left."
"Yes, General!" After receiving the order, General Li quickly organized the troops and set off.
This surprise attack, like a sharp dagger, pierced the enemy's flank. The enemy was thrown into disarray and began to panic. Xiao Yichen seized the opportunity and led his main force in a fierce counterattack. In an instant, the situation on the battlefield reversed, and the General's army gradually gained the upper hand.
After a fierce battle, the enemy finally began to crumble. They scattered and fled like stray dogs, and the general's army pursued them relentlessly, driving them far away. Countless enemy corpses and abandoned weapons were left on the battlefield, and the general's army had once again emerged victorious.
This victory was hard-won, with many soldiers from the General's Mansion suffering casualties. Looking at the exhausted soldiers and wounded comrades on the battlefield, Xiao Yichen was filled with emotion. He knew that without the help of Lin Wan'er and her friends, the outcome of this battle might have been unimaginable.
After the battle, the General's Mansion was a hive of activity. Soldiers were clearing the battlefield, and medical personnel were treating the wounded. Xiao Yichen approached Lin Wan'er and her friends: "Everyone, thanks to you all, the General's Mansion was able to escape danger once again."
Lin Wan'er smiled and said, "General, this is the result of everyone's joint efforts."
The hearty man laughed and said, "Haha, this was a really satisfying fight! These enemies are no match for us."
Xiao Yichen frowned slightly: "Although the enemy has been repelled this time, they will not give up easily. We must further strengthen our defenses."
Lin Wan'er nodded: "The general is right. Through this battle, we have gained a better understanding of the enemy and can adjust our defense strategies accordingly."
Over the next few days, the General's Mansion began to recuperate while simultaneously strengthening its defenses. Lin Wan'er and her friends actively participated, helping to train soldiers and improve defensive structures. Xiao Yichen's trust in Lin Wan'er and her companions deepened, and their cooperation became even more seamless.
One day, Xiao Yichen convened his generals and Lin Wan'er and others in the council hall to discuss the next steps in their plans.
"This battle has shown us our strengths and weaknesses. We need to recruit more soldiers and strengthen our intelligence gathering efforts," Xiao Yichen said.
One general said, "General, we need more supplies to equip our soldiers. We are still in a bit of a shortage of weapons and food."
Lin Wan'er interjected, "General, regarding the issue of supplies, we can try the channels I mentioned earlier. I can work with my friends to make the arrangements."
Xiao Yichen looked at Lin Wan'er: "Miss, then I'll have to trouble you. This procurement of supplies is of utmost importance, and we must ensure safety."
"Don't worry, General, we will be careful," Lin Wan'er replied.
After the meeting, Lin Wan'er and her friends prepared to go out to purchase supplies. Xiao Yichen escorted them all the way to the entrance of the General's Mansion.
"Girls, this mission to procure supplies is arduous. You must return safely," Xiao Yichen instructed.
Lin Wan'er looked at Xiao Yichen: "General, we will return as soon as possible. We entrust the General's Mansion to you."
Watching Lin Wan'er and the others leave, Xiao Yichen felt a pang of reluctance. He had grown accustomed to Lin Wan'er's presence in the General's Mansion; her existence was like a ray of sunshine, illuminating this mansion shrouded in the shadows of war.
During the days Lin Wan'er and the others were away, Xiao Yichen remained busy managing the affairs of the General's Mansion. Every day he would go to the training grounds to check on the soldiers' training and personally instruct them in martial arts. He would also visit the wounded and inquire about their recovery. At the same time, he was also waiting for news from Lin Wan'er and the others.
A few days later, Lin Wan'er and the others finally returned to the General's Mansion with supplies. Their return brought jubilation to the entire mansion.
"General, we're back! We've procured all the supplies," Lin Wan'er said happily.
Looking at the convoy loaded with supplies, Xiao Yichen felt very gratified: "Girls, you've worked hard. You've really done a great job this time."
With these supplies, the General's Mansion's strength was further enhanced. The soldiers were equipped with new weapons, and their provisions were plentiful. Xiao Yichen decided to hold a banquet, firstly to celebrate the victory and the successful procurement of supplies, and secondly to thank Lin Wan'er and her friends for their help.
On the night of the banquet, the General's Mansion was brightly lit and bustling with activity. The tables were laden with fine wines and delicacies, and soldiers and generals gathered together in celebration. Xiao Yichen sat in the head seat, while Lin Wan'er and her friends sat in the VIP section.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are here today to celebrate our victory. This victory is inseparable from the efforts of everyone, especially Miss Lin and her friends. I raise a toast to everyone!" Xiao Yichen raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Everyone raised their glasses, creating a lively atmosphere at the banquet. During the dinner, the soldiers performed a variety of wonderful programs, including martial arts demonstrations, songs, and dances, immersing everyone in a joyful ambiance.
Lin Wan'er watched the lively scene, her heart filled with warmth. Having wandered the martial world for many years, she rarely experienced such an atmosphere. She turned to look at Xiao Yichen and found him looking at her as well. Their eyes met, and an invisible emotion seemed to flow between them.
After the banquet, Xiao Yichen invited Lin Wan'er for a walk in the garden. The garden was filled with the fragrance of flowers, and the moonlight shone like water on them.
"Miss, have you settled in well at the General's Mansion these past few days?" Xiao Yichen asked.
Lin Wan'er nodded: "General, I am very happy here. The people here are all very nice, and everyone is working hard towards a common goal. It feels great."
Xiao Yichen smiled slightly: "Miss, do you know? Your arrival has changed a lot. The General's Mansion has new hope because of you."
Lin Wan'er was a little embarrassed: "General, you flatter me. I only did what I could."
The two strolled slowly through the garden, discussing the future of the general's mansion and anecdotes from the martial world. At that moment, they seemed to forget the threat of war, simply enjoying this peaceful and beautiful time.
“Young lady, I would like to invite you to stay at the General’s Mansion,” Xiao Yichen suddenly said.
Lin Wan'er was somewhat surprised: "General, you mean..."
“Yes, the General’s Mansion needs you. I also hope you can stay. You can treat this place as your home.” Xiao Yichen looked at Lin Wan’er sincerely.
A warm feeling welled up in Lin Wan'er's heart. She looked at Xiao Yichen and said, "General, I am very willing to stay. This place has become an important place in my heart."
Xiao Yichen smiled, his smile appearing particularly charming in the moonlight: "That's good. From now on, we'll protect the General's Mansion and this land together."
From then on, Lin Wan'er officially stayed at the General's Mansion. She and Xiao Yichen trained soldiers, improved defenses, and handled the mansion's affairs together. Their relationship grew more subtle with each passing day, and a special affection quietly blossomed between them. And through their joint efforts, the General's Mansion grew stronger and stronger, becoming a solid fortress against foreign enemies on this land.
However, unbeknownst to them, the enemy did not give up after their defeat, but instead secretly plotted an even greater conspiracy. Once this conspiracy is implemented, the General's Mansion will face an unprecedented crisis, and Xiao Yichen and Lin Wan'er's relationship will also face a tremendous test.
Lin Wan'er's days at the General's Mansion were peaceful and fulfilling. Early mornings, sunlight streamed into the courtyard as she and Xiao Yichen instructed soldiers on the training ground. The soldiers stood in neat rows, their eyes intently following her movements to learn new techniques. Lin Wan'er's graceful movements and fluid swordsmanship demonstrated to the soldiers, each motion precise and beautiful, earning cheers from them. Xiao Yichen, meanwhile, emphasized the combination of strength and skill. His tall figure appeared even more imposing in the sunlight, his spear wielded with powerful force, displaying extraordinary aura.
In handling the affairs of the general's mansion, Lin Wan'er also demonstrated her wisdom and meticulousness. She assisted the steward in inventorying supplies and rationally allocating the use of various resources. She paid attention to the soldiers' living needs, leaving no detail overlooked, from food and lodging to medical care. With her suggestions, the logistics of the general's mansion became more efficient and orderly, and the soldiers' living conditions improved, which made the soldiers respect and love her even more.
The feelings between Xiao Yichen and Lin Wan'er blossomed quietly like spring vines as they spent time together. In their leisure time, they would stroll through the garden of the General's Mansion, discussing their past and their aspirations for the future. Xiao Yichen would recount his childhood adventures in the army, those passionate and dream-filled memories revealing a pure heart beneath his resilient exterior. Lin Wan'er would also share her extraordinary encounters in the martial world, captivating Xiao Yichen with her stories of strange people and events, deepening his admiration for this mysterious and kind woman.
However, the peaceful days didn't last long. That day, Xiao Yichen and Lin Wan'er were in the council hall discussing improvement plans for the defensive fortifications with the generals. The generals expressed their opinions freely, creating a lively atmosphere. Xiao Yichen listened attentively to each suggestion, his brow furrowed as he fell into deep thought. Lin Wan'er, meanwhile, carefully took notes, occasionally offering her own thoughts.
Just then, Lin Wan'er suddenly sensed an unusual aura. Startled, a strange intuition told her that something unusual was about to happen. She calmly glanced around, but found nothing suspicious. Yet, the feeling of unease grew stronger.
Lin Wan'er subconsciously used her mind-reading ability, a skill she rarely used in the General's Mansion. Her gaze swept over everyone present, and when she looked at Xiao Yichen, she unexpectedly read his innermost thoughts.
Xiao Yichen was reflecting on how Lin Wan'er's time at the General's Mansion had brought about so many changes in him. He had initially let her stay out of gratitude and consideration for the General's Mansion's interests, but now he found his gaze unconsciously following her, and his heart unknowingly being captured by her. He began to worry about Lin Wan'er's safety, fearing she might be put in danger because of the General's Mansion's affairs. At the same time, he felt confused and bewildered by this sudden affection. He didn't know where this feeling would lead them. In this era of war, love seemed a luxury, and as a general, he had a responsibility to protect the General's Mansion and this land.
Upon reading these thoughts, Lin Wan'er felt a surge of panic. She hadn't expected Xiao Yichen to harbor such complex and profound feelings for her, and she herself felt the same way. But she also knew that during this special time, matters of the heart could influence their judgment and actions. A slight blush rose to her cheeks, and a complex expression flashed in her eyes.
Xiao Yichen noticed Lin Wan'er's unusual behavior and asked with concern, "Wan'er, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" His voice was full of worry and his eyes were full of concern.
Lin Wan'er quickly snapped out of her daze and shook her head. "No, it's nothing, General. I was just a little distracted." She tried to hide her panic, but her expression still looked somewhat unnatural.
Xiao Yichen looked at her, a little puzzled, but he didn't press the matter. He assumed Lin Wan'er was simply exhausted from the past few days, so he said, "If you're tired, go back and rest. We can take care of things here first."
Lin Wan'er nodded: "Okay, then I'll take my leave." After saying that, she hurriedly left the council hall.
Lin Wan'er returned to her room, her heart still unsettled. Xiao Yichen's thoughts kept echoing in her mind, and she didn't know how to face this relationship. She sat by the window, gazing at the garden outside, her thoughts drifting away.
After Lin Wan'er left, Xiao Yichen felt uneasy. He felt that Lin Wan'er's behavior was strange, but he couldn't figure out why. He tried to concentrate on continuing the discussion, but the expression on Lin Wan'er's face when she left kept replaying in his mind.
In Lin Wan'er's room, she tried to calm herself down. She knew she couldn't let her feelings affect the safety of the General's Mansion and the current situation. She took a deep breath and decided to bury these feelings deep in her heart for now, and make plans after this crisis had passed.
However, fate always seems to like playing tricks on people. Just as Lin Wan'er was preparing to adjust her mindset and throw herself back into the affairs of the General's Mansion, some strange phenomena suddenly appeared at the General's Mansion.
Soldiers reported hearing strange noises during their night patrols, like people whispering, but found nothing when they went to investigate. Others said they saw suspicious figures near the warehouse, but they vanished without a trace when they gave chase.
Upon learning this news, Xiao Yichen immediately became more vigilant. He realized that the General's Mansion might be under enemy surveillance, and these strange phenomena were likely the work of the enemy in secret. He increased patrols at the General's Mansion and deployed personnel to key locations.
Lin Wan'er also joined the investigation. Using her experience in the martial arts world, she meticulously examined every corner of the General's Mansion, trying to find any clues. During the investigation, she encountered Xiao Yichen again.
"Wan'er, have you noticed anything unusual?" Xiao Yichen asked.
Lin Wan'er shook her head: "Not yet, General. But I feel these phenomena are very unusual, and the enemy may have come prepared. We must be even more careful."
Xiao Yichen nodded: "Yes, you're right. You should also be careful and not act alone." A hint of concern was in his eyes.
Lin Wan'er felt a warmth in her heart: "I will, General."
As they talked, Lin Wan'er once again inadvertently used her mind-reading ability. She sensed Xiao Yichen's deep concern and worry for her, as well as his vigilance and unease about the enemy's plot. Her heart was filled with mixed emotions; she knew that at this crucial moment, she couldn't let Xiao Yichen be distracted.
"General, let's continue the investigation," Lin Wan'er said.
After they separated, they continued their respective inspections. Lin Wan'er arrived at a secluded corner of the General's Mansion, near the wall, a place rarely frequented by others. She carefully observed her surroundings, and suddenly, she noticed some strange footprints. These footprints looked very new, and their shape and size did not match those of anyone in the General's Mansion.
Lin Wan'er's heart skipped a beat, and she followed the direction of the footprints. The footprints disappeared near the wall, and she guessed that the enemy was likely entering and leaving the General's Mansion from there. Just as she was about to return to report this discovery to Xiao Yichen, she suddenly felt a powerful force attacking from behind.
Before she could react, she was struck by the force and fell forward to the ground. Startled, she immediately realized she was under attack. She quickly turned around, drew her sword, and prepared to fight. A dark figure stood before her, completely shrouded in black clothing, its face obscured.
"Who are you?" Lin Wan'er shouted.
The shadowy figure didn't answer, but attacked her directly. Lin Wan'er engaged in a fierce battle with the shadowy figure. Her swordsmanship was sharp, but the shadowy figure was also very agile. For a time, the two were evenly matched.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yichen was inspecting the warehouse, a sense of unease creeping over him, a premonition of something bad. Suddenly, a soldier ran up to report, "General, something terrible has happened! Miss Lin has been attacked by the enemy in the garden!"
Xiao Yichen's heart tightened. He immediately dropped what he was doing and ran towards the garden. His heart was filled with worry; he feared Lin Wan'er was in danger. As he ran, he blamed himself for not protecting Lin Wan'er.
When he arrived at the garden, he saw Lin Wan'er fiercely fighting with the shadowy figure. Without a word, he immediately joined the battle. His spear, like a dragon emerging from the sea, thrust towards the shadowy figure. The shadowy figure seemed to sense Xiao Yichen's power and began to panic.
Under the combined attack of Xiao Yichen and Lin Wan'er, the shadowy figure gradually became overwhelmed. Seeing the situation was dire, the figure feigned an attack and turned to flee. Xiao Yichen, however, wouldn't let him escape so easily. He shouted and sped off in pursuit. The shadowy figure reached the wall and used his lightness skill to leap over it. Xiao Yichen caught up to the wall, his face grim as he watched the shadowy figure flee.
"Wan'er, are you alright?" Xiao Yichen turned to look at Lin Wan'er, his eyes full of concern.
Lin Wan'er shook her head: "I'm fine, General. This shadowy figure is very powerful. It seems the enemy has already infiltrated the General's mansion."
Xiao Yichen nodded: "Yes, we must find out the enemy's plot as soon as possible and not let the General's Mansion be in danger."
They returned to the council chamber, summoned all the generals, and recounted the attack. Everyone realized the seriousness of the situation and decided to strengthen defenses and conduct a thorough search of the general's residence to find any trace of the enemy.
After the attack, Lin Wan'er's feelings for Xiao Yichen became even more complex. She knew that in this perilous time, their fates were intertwined; both their love and the safety of the General's Mansion required their joint efforts to face and protect them. She secretly resolved to stand with Xiao Yichen, thwart the enemy's plot, and safeguard the General's Mansion. At the same time, she hoped that after this crisis, they would have the opportunity to confront their true feelings.
Inside the council chamber, the atmosphere was as heavy as a bowstring about to snap. The generals sat around the table, their faces solemn. Xiao Yichen and Lin Wan'er recounted the details of the attack, each detail weighing heavily on everyone's hearts like a weighty stone.
Xiao Yichen frowned, his eyes flashing with a mixture of anger and worry: "The enemy dared to infiltrate the General's Mansion. This is a blatant provocation against us. We must thoroughly investigate the General's Mansion, inside and out, and we must not allow them to have any more opportunities."
The generals nodded in agreement. One experienced veteran said, "General, the enemy was able to infiltrate so silently, they must know the layout of the General's residence very well. We should start by investigating the mole within."
Lin Wan'er frowned slightly and replied, "It's also possible that the enemy has special infiltration methods. The strange footprints and mysterious shadows we found earlier were quite skilled and didn't seem like ordinary spies."
Xiao Yichen took a deep breath and stood up: "No matter what the situation, we cannot let our guard down. From now on, the General's Mansion will be on high alert, with increased patrols, and no corner will be overlooked."
Thus, a large-scale search operation was launched at the general's mansion. Soldiers were divided into groups and searched every part of the mansion carefully, from warehouses to gardens, from the council hall to the soldiers' barracks, leaving no stone unturned.
Xiao Yichen and Lin Wan'er also participated personally. They arrived at a forbidden area of the General's Mansion—near a secret room where confidential documents and military strategic maps were stored. Normally, only Xiao Yichen and a few trusted generals could enter this place, which was heavily guarded.
Lin Wan'er looked around the secret room and whispered, "General, if the enemy's target is the secrets here, then we'll be in trouble."
Xiao Yichen's expression was solemn: "Yes, the things here are related to the safety of the General's Mansion and the entire defense line, and they must not be lost."
Just as they were about to check the area around the secret room for anything unusual, they suddenly heard a cry of alarm. The two exchanged a glance and quickly ran in the direction from which the sound came.
It turned out that a group of soldiers had discovered some suspicious signs near the well in the backyard of the general's mansion. The soil around the well showed signs of being disturbed, and there was some strange powder scattered around.
Xiao Yichen squatted down and carefully examined the powder, his brows furrowing even more: "This is... a substance I've never seen before, possibly used by the enemy to transmit signals or make markings."
Lin Wan'er also felt that things were getting increasingly strange: "General, it seems that the enemy's plan is far more complicated than we imagined."
During the investigation, a climate of fear gripped the general's mansion. The servants treaded cautiously, terrified of being suspected of being traitors or accidentally triggering enemy traps. A pall of gloom hung over the entire mansion, the previously relaxed atmosphere vanished.
While conducting the tense investigation, Xiao Yichen was also deeply worried about Lin Wan'er's safety. He recalled the scene of Lin Wan'er fighting the shadowy figure, and a wave of fear washed over him. If he had arrived even a moment later, Lin Wan'er might have met with disaster. This worry occasionally distracted him during the operation.
Lin Wan'er noticed Xiao Yichen's absent-mindedness and said softly, "General, I'm fine, you don't need to worry about me too much. The most important thing now is to find out the enemy's plot."
Xiao Yichen looked at her, his eyes filled with complex emotions: "Wan'er, you don't know how my heart was in my throat when I heard you had been attacked. I couldn't let you get hurt."
Lin Wan'er felt a warmth in her heart, but she still said, "General, we cannot let our emotions control us now. The safety of the General's Mansion is the most important thing."
Xiao Yichen nodded, trying to concentrate. However, fate always seems to like to deliver a heavy blow at crucial moments.
Halfway through the search operation, another soldier reported: "General, something terrible has happened! The granary in the mansion is on fire!"
Xiao Yichen's expression changed drastically: "What?!" He immediately led Lin Wan'er and a group of soldiers toward the granary.
From afar, thick smoke and flames could be seen billowing from the direction of the grain depot. The fire was fierce and spread rapidly with the help of the wind. The soldiers fought hard to put it out, but the fire was too intense and difficult to control for the time being.
Xiao Yichen was extremely anxious. The grain supplies were crucial to the General's Mansion; once they were burned to ashes, the mansion would be in dire straits. While directing the soldiers to fight the fire, he also personally participated, trying to salvage some grain supplies from the inferno.
Lin Wan'er was also helping, using her internal energy to stir up flying sand and stones in an attempt to suppress the fire. However, the enemy seemed to be prepared, and occasional minor explosions could be heard from within the fire, making the firefighting operation even more difficult.
Just as everyone was frantically trying to put out the fire, Lin Wan'er suddenly sensed a familiar presence. Startled, she turned around and saw that the dark figure that had attacked her earlier had reappeared, heading towards Xiao Yichen.
"General, be careful!" Lin Wan'er shouted and rushed towards Xiao Yichen's direction.
Hearing Lin Wan'er's shout, Xiao Yichen instinctively turned his head, only to see a dark figure rushing towards him. He had no time to dodge and faced the figure head-on. The figure's attacks were even more ferocious than before, each strike aimed directly at Xiao Yichen's vital points.
Xiao Yichen struggled to cope in the chaos, gradually becoming overwhelmed. Lin Wan'er arrived and joined Xiao Yichen in fighting the shadowy figure. However, the fire in the granary intensified, and chaos reigned around them.
In the midst of the fierce battle, the shadowy figure suddenly revealed a sinister smile. Taking advantage of Xiao Yichen and Lin Wan'er's inattention, he pulled a black sphere from his robes and threw it towards the granary. Upon landing, the sphere instantly unleashed a powerful impact, knocking the surrounding soldiers to the ground.
The force of the impact sent Xiao Yichen's blood surging. He watched helplessly as the granary collapsed in the explosion, his heart filled with despair. He knew that the destruction of the granary meant the General's Mansion was facing an unprecedented crisis.
Seeing Xiao Yichen's expression, Lin Wan'er felt a pang of pain in her heart. She knew the importance of the granary to the General's Mansion, and she also knew how devastating this loss would be to Xiao Yichen.
The shadowy figure escaped again amidst the chaos. Xiao Yichen wanted to give chase, but Lin Wan'er stopped him: "General, you are not in good condition right now, you cannot chase after him."
Xiao Yichen's eyes were filled with anger and resentment. He slammed his fist on the stone pillar next to him: "Damn it! The enemy is too cunning."
Lin Wan'er looked at him, her eyes filled with worry: "General, let's calm down first. Although the granary has been destroyed, we still have ways."
However, Xiao Yichen was now consumed by deep self-blame and despair. He felt that his negligence had led to this outcome; as a general, he had failed to protect the most important supplies of the General's Mansion. His eyes became vacant, as if he had lost his soul.
"General, please don't be like this, it's not your fault." Lin Wan'er tried to comfort him, but Xiao Yichen seemed not to hear her.
The soldiers around them stared silently at the ruins of the grain depot. This disaster was a heavy blow to the general's mansion, and no one knew how to face the days to come.
Lin Wan'er felt deeply saddened by Xiao Yichen's state. She knew she had to help him pull himself together, or the General's Mansion would be finished. She took Xiao Yichen's arm and whispered, "General, we can't give up. We still have soldiers, we still have hope. We can definitely overcome this."
Under Lin Wan'er's persuasion, a glimmer of light gradually returned to Xiao Yichen's eyes. However, the pain in his heart remained unabated; this blow had been far too great for him. He knew that the road ahead would be fraught with difficulties and obstacles, but for the General's Mansion and for Lin Wan'er, he had to stand up again and face everything.
The investigation at the General's Mansion continued after the disaster. Although the granary was lost, everyone was determined to find the enemy and make them pay. Meanwhile, the relationship between Xiao Yichen and Lin Wan'er was tested in this crisis, becoming even stronger. They knew that only by relying on each other could they overcome these difficulties.
