Rebirth and Reversal of Fortune

Chapter 173 Su Jinxiu's Support

Xiao Ling stood in the courtyard, gazing at the bright moon in the sky, his mind filled with countless thoughts. He knew the importance of leading the army into battle, but he couldn't let go of his concern for Su Jinxiu and the Marquis's mansion.

At this moment, Su Jinxiu quietly walked to his side, gently took his hand, and said, "Brother Ling, I know what you're worried about. But the country is in a time of crisis, and as a general, you should put the country first. I will guard the Marquis's residence in the capital and wait for your return."

Xiao Ling turned his head and looked into Su Jinxiu's determined eyes, a warm feeling welling up in his heart. He knew that Su Jinxiu had always been his strongest support, and with her support, he was more confident in facing the challenges ahead.

The day of departure arrived quickly, and Xiao Ling led his army away from the capital in a grand procession. Su Jinxiu stood on the city wall, watching the departing army, silently praying that Xiao Ling would return safely.

While Xiao Ling led his army on campaign, Su Jinxiu was not idle. She used her intelligence and connections to actively gather intelligence for Xiao Ling, learning about the enemy's movements. At the same time, she strengthened the defenses of the Marquis's residence to ensure its safety.

However, the situation in the capital was far from peaceful. Some people with ulterior motives took the opportunity to spread rumors, attempting to undermine Xiao Ling's army's morale. Upon learning of this, Su Jinxiu immediately took action, using her influence to clarify the facts and stabilize public sentiment.

On the battlefield, Xiao Ling commanded with composure, repeatedly defeating the enemy. His valiant performance instilled fear in the enemy and filled his soldiers with confidence in him. However, war is cruel, and every battle is accompanied by heavy casualties.

Xiao Ling knew that to achieve final victory, he needed not only formidable military strength but also wisdom and strategy. After discussing with his generals, he decided to adopt a flanking maneuver, circling around to the enemy's rear to deliver a fatal blow.

The plan was fraught with risk, but Xiao Ling believed that only by taking the enemy by surprise could victory be achieved. Under his meticulous planning, the army stealthily maneuvered behind enemy lines. By the time the enemy discovered this, it was too late.

Xiao Ling led his soldiers in a valiant fight, routing the enemy forces in one fell swoop. This victory greatly boosted the morale of the entire army and further enhanced Xiao Ling's prestige among his soldiers.

While Xiao Ling led his army on campaign, Su Jinxiu also experienced a series of power struggles in the capital. Some people, in order to achieve their own goals, resorted to any means to attack the Marquis's mansion.

With her intelligence and decisiveness, Su Jinxiu averted crises time and time again. She knew that only by remaining calm could she stand firm amidst the turbulent power struggles.

As time went on, news of Xiao Ling's victories on the battlefield continued to arrive. Upon hearing this, Su Jinxiu was filled with joy and pride. She knew that Xiao Ling's efforts had not been in vain, and the safety of the nation was assured.

Finally, the war ended, and Xiao Ling led his army back in triumph. The people of the capital lined the streets to welcome him, cheering for Xiao Ling's victory and rejoicing in the peace of the nation.

When Xiao Ling returned to the Marquis's residence and saw that Su Jinxiu was safe and sound, he finally felt relieved. He hugged Su Jinxiu tightly and said with emotion, "Jinxiu, all of this is thanks to you."

Su Jinxiu smiled and said, "We are husband and wife, and we should support each other. You risk your life for the country, and I guard our homeland from the rear. This is our responsibility and mission."

Having weathered the trials of war and political intrigue, Xiao Ling and Su Jinxiu's bond deepened. They knew that only by joining hands could they go further in this challenging world.
