Chu Lixuan and Jiang Xinyan looked at Zhao Chengan who insisted on retaining them. They couldn't resist the kindness, so they had no choice but to stay for one night anyway.

"Okay, then tomorrow you take the troops directly to the outside of the town to pick up the food. We will go back to the house to wash up first." After Jiang Xinyan said that, she got on her horse and went to the general's mansion.

"General, please go and count the silver. We still have about 200,000 taels of silver, which is not enough. We owe the Marquis of Zhennan first, and we will pay it back after you write a letter back to the capital, General."

The military advisor of the Zhenxi Army looked at the backs of the couple as they walked away and said to Zhao Chengan.

"Well, then go and prepare." Zhao Chengan was so happy that he said to the lieutenants around him.

"You also go and make arrangements to reward the three armies. Take out all the stored grain and eat it tonight. We will have food to eat tomorrow."

The lieutenants immediately rode up to make arrangements, all with smiles on their faces. After winning the battle, they still had food to eat, so it was strange that they were unhappy.

Zhennanhou is really their lucky star! They must toast him with a few more glasses of wine in the evening, so as to express their inner admiration and gratitude.

It took half an hour to get from the West City Gate to the General's Mansion. Chu Lixuan was as happy as the silly son of a landlord along the way.

Their horses were very fast, so no one could see his expression clearly, but Jiang Xinyan was walking side by side with him, so she could naturally see it clearly.

She knew that he was not happy because he won the battle, but because she was not frightened by his ferocious appearance. What a poor baby!

After Zhao Chengan ordered his subordinates, he wanted to chase Chu Lixuan and his wife again, but he didn't even see their backs. He shook his head and laughed.

Zhao Chengan also returned home quickly and went to the kitchen to arrange the dishes for tonight, which meant killing all the chickens in the house.

Because, he carefully discovered that Mrs. Chu especially likes to eat scrambled eggs and fried chicken, and cooks all the leftover rice.

"The general really wants to cook it like this?" the butler asked in disbelief. After cooking, what will be the snacks for the general's mansion tomorrow?

"Well, we won the battle today. I am very happy, so I will give you a special reward." Zhao Chengan only cared about his own happiness.

I forgot to look at the steward's expression, so I didn't explain that they would have food starting from tomorrow, enough food for two months!

In two months, the rice in Yumen Pass will be ready for harvest. Even if the imperial court does not have military pay, they are not afraid.

The rice was planted by the soldiers of the Zhenxi Army together. The soldiers in previous years had never cultivated the land.

They all relied on the military pay and salaries from the imperial court to live. Once this started, they would open up wasteland and farm their own land every year.

So what if hundreds of thousands of people support themselves, hahaha...

The housekeeper heard the general laughing. He just thought that the general was happy after winning the battle, so he followed the general's instructions.

The housekeeper ordered the kitchen cook to kill the chicken, wash the rice, and prepare the meal in full swing.

Zhao Chengan went back to his yard to wash up. When he came out after washing, he saw his wife and daughters coming over after hearing the news, "Congratulations to the general on this great victory."

"Haha... How can I, the general, win this battle? This time, it's all thanks to Brother Chu. With his glory, he is worthy of being our God of War in Dongchen! He is truly well-deserved."

Zhao Chengan was so happy that he smiled and said everything. The general's wife was stunned and the ladies were dumbfounded.

Where are they? What happened to their father? I haven't seen their father smile in this year.

That handsome man is the God of War? Didn’t that man’s wife say that the couple were exiles?

"Husband, are you talking about Mr. Chu who came yesterday?" the general's wife asked uncertainly.

"Yes, that's him. He is the world-famous Marquis of Zhennan, the undefeated God of War of Dongchen Kingdom." Zhao Chengan didn't know what his wife and daughters were thinking.

After the general's wife saw Chu Lixuan, she liked him very much and wanted to marry her biological daughter to Chu Lixuan as his equal wife.

During dinner last night, I heard that he was a prisoner and the general's wife still liked him very much. So he didn't want his common wife, so he married the eldest daughter of the concubine to Chu Lixuan as his concubine.

The general's wife gave birth to her first child, and her first child was a son, so the aunts could get pregnant and have children.

The next year, several aunts were pregnant with children, and the second aunt gave birth to a daughter, Zhao Qingqing, the eldest daughter of the general's palace.

Because she is the eldest daughter of a concubine, Zhao Qingqing is treated much better than other concubines, but compared to the second lady, a legitimate daughter, she is still much worse.

Four young ladies of the right age were following behind the general's wife. When they heard the general's words, the four of them had different thoughts.

The second young lady, Zhao Qingyun, also likes Chu Lixuan very much, not because of anything else but because he is good-looking.

However, Mr. Chu has a wife, so her mother asked her if she wanted to be an equal wife. Zhao Qingyun was hesitant.

Now that she heard that her father admired Mr. Chu so much, she was shaken again. When she gets married, her husband will also take concubines.

Although the ordinary wife does not have the status of a real wife, she falls in love with that man at first sight, and his wife is also aware of herself.

Last night, as soon as her eldest sister said she didn't want to sit at the same table with the prisoners, Mrs. Chu walked away knowingly.

This way, it won't be very difficult to get along with her in the future. She, Zhao Qingyun, is not an unruly young lady. She will respect her with the respect she deserves.

Zhao Qingyun and her mother looked at each other and nodded, then the general's wife said to Zhao Chengan.

"Husband, since Master Chu is so brave and brave, why don't we kiss him and make him your son-in-law?"

Zhao Chengan thought it was what his wife said last night about his eldest daughter being a concubine. He also felt that his daughter, Zhao Chengan, was very good and could be a concubine for Brother Chu.

Which man doesn't have three wives and four concubines? "Well, Madam, just look at the arrangements. I'll mention it to Brother Chu later when we're drinking."

"Husband, just say that we, Qingyun, will be equal wives to Mr. Chu. If you don't say that we, Yun'er, are the legitimate daughters of the Hou Mansion, just say that our General Mansion is worthy of Mr. Chu."

Zhao Chengan didn't hear what the general's wife said. He was only thinking about how this brother was going to be the father-in-law, so how could he be called Brother Chu in the future?

He couldn't figure it out, so he hurriedly went to find Chu Lixuan and wanted to ask him if he was willing to take a concubine. If Chu Lixuan was not willing, that would be the best.

They were still brothers, not sons-in-law. Zhao Chengan had goosebumps when he thought about Chu Lixuan calling him father-in-law.

When Zhao Qingqing heard her mother's words, her eyes widened in disbelief. Fortunately, she had already thought of a countermeasure.

You cannot rely on others. Last night, my mother clearly asked her if she would like to be Mr. Chu's concubine.

When she found out that Mr. Chu was a marquis, she changed her mind and wanted her biological daughter to be his equal wife.

Is this fair to her? Zhao Qingqing became more and more determined in her thoughts. She looked at Xiao Tao and the two of them lowered their heads in a tacit understanding and followed the general's wife out of the yard.
