Chu Xiang stayed in the Qin Palace for a while and then went out again disguised as Lin Mu. Li Bohan felt that she couldn't be restrained at all and only liked to fly outside. However, Chu Xiang treated him the same as before. She kept bringing back money to pay the soldiers and even transported provisions from many places to the battlefield. She did better than many of his subordinates.
The better Chu Xiang did, the more Li Bohan felt that he couldn't control Chu Xiang. He couldn't figure out why Chu Xiang didn't have any desire to be a good wife and a good mother. He was very annoyed.
He thought of locking Chu Xiang up more than once. But every time he wanted to trap Chu Xiang, Chu Xiang's words kept circling in his mind. The trapped Chu Xiang would not be the real Chu Xiang, nor would she be the Chu Xiang he liked. She would only be an ordinary woman.
Because of these words, he couldn't do anything to Chu Xiang. It only made him more and more annoyed.
The war at the front was getting more and more intense. They not only had to fight with the incapable emperor of the imperial court, but also with the rebel army. The provisions provided by Chu Xiang had never been cut off. This made the name "Lin Mu" spread. Many leaders of the rebel army envied Li Bohan for being able to subdue such a genius.
There were more and more rumors about "Lin Mu", which added a lot of legends. Some people said that he was the first businessman. There was no business that he couldn't negotiate, no people that he couldn't fool, and no money that he couldn't earn. Some people said that he had the ability to appear and disappear unpredictably. Countless people who wanted to set him up disappeared. He was a person who couldn't be provoked.
A businessman with such a legend in the war-torn era was already unprecedented.
It was only now that Li Bohan realized that Chu Xiang had unknowingly already had such a great influence. Moreover, Chu Xiang had really helped him solve a lot of problems, allowing him to have no worries. If Chu Xiang was a man, he would definitely make Chu Xiang an official. But Chu Xiang was a woman. He didn't know how to treat Chu Xiang. If he trapped Chu Xiang in the inner chamber, not only would he destroy their feelings for each other, but he would also fail to live up to Chu Xiang's efforts.
Even Old Concubine Yu could feel Li Bohan's irritation. Everyone was guessing what was wrong with him. Some people spread Old Concubine Yu's words, guessing that Li Bohan was worried about being childless. Old Concubine Yu also thought so. She felt that she had grasped Chu Xiang's weakness and began to persuade Li Bohan to take a concubine. She even tried to send the woman she had chosen to Li Bohan's bed, which angered Li Bohan for the first time.
It just so happened that there was another battle at the front line. Li Bohan didn't need to go, but because of his irritation, he decided to go personally.
It was impossible to achieve total victory in war every single time. There would always be difficulties and obstacles, and when there was a wrong decision, Li Bohan was unlucky this time. He was discovered by the enemy just as he was about to reach the barracks.
He didn't bring many people with him, all of them were managers, but the enemy had a large number of people. Even if his people could fight one against ten, they were gradually at a disadvantage and a crisis arose.
"Wangye, the east side of the canyon is easy to defend and hard to attack. Why don't we retreat to the canyon and release smoke signals and wait for people to come and rescue us?"
Li Bohan looked at the situation and made a prompt decision, "Enter the canyon!"
They quickly rode their horses and hid in the canyon. They resisted the enemy's attack and released smoke signals.
Chu Xiang was in the military camp doing a handover with Chu Wenyuan. She sent over the latest batch of provisions and wanted to see if her elder brother was safe. She also wanted to help her family send a letter. She didn't expect that Li Bohan would be in danger.
She immediately said, "Eldest brother, I will go with you."
"Nonsense! You stay in the barracks, I will rescue Wangye. "Chu Wenyuan always looked at Chu Xiang like he was looking at a younger sister. He didn't allow her to take risks.
Chu Xiang stopped him and said seriously, "Eldest brother, Wangye has been uneasy recently. It's related to me. I must go and save him. You have so many people following him, nothing can happen to him. Believe me, I can help. "
The situation was urgent. Chu Wenyuan could never win against Chu Xiang, so he had to agree. He said, "Follow me closely. Don't run around."
"Okay."
This time, Chu Xiang appeared as Lin Mu to transport the provisions. Lin Mu was now very famous. When the people in the military camp saw her, they were very welcoming because it meant that they could eat and dress well. They did not lack military supplies, so they were very friendly to Lin Mu.
At this time, everyone was puzzled when they saw Lin Mu following Chu Wenyuan to rescue Li Bohan. Although Lin Mu was very powerful, what was a merchant doing in a battle? Even if Lin Mu and Li Bohan had a deep friendship, there was no need for her to die, right?
Chu Wenyuan had now been promoted to a general. The deputy general didn't agree to let Chu Xiang follow him. Chu Wenyuan said in a deep voice, "Don't look at her. She is not an ordinary merchant."
The deputy general didn't understand, but he was in a hurry to save people, so he couldn't say anything. He just hoped that their money bags didn't die.
Chu Xiang called her men. There were more than a hundred of them. They rushed to the canyon behind Chu Wenyuan. On the way, she heard Chu Wenyuan talk about the terrain of the canyon and the rescue plan. She knew what to do next.
The canyon couldn't hold on any longer. The enemy rarely found Li Bohan's traces. They vowed to capture Li Bohan and take him back. Chu Wenyuan and the others arrived and immediately joined the battle, which relieved the pressure on Li Bohan. However, Li Bohan and Chu Wenyuan were separated by the enemy, so it was difficult for them to meet. The enemy still refused to give up. Even if they couldn't capture Li Bohan, they would kill him on the spot!
Chu Xiang carried a heavy bow on her back and joined the battle with a long saber in her hand. As for her subordinates, they were sent to rescue Li Bohan. Her men weren't a regular army, but the bandits and the private soldiers she trained knew how to take shortcuts. They used unexpected methods to achieve their goals. She brought out the best elite soldiers.
This group of soldiers rushed left and right at the edge of the battlefield. No one noticed what they were doing. By the time they noticed, they were already close to the canyon.
The people sent by Chu Wenyuan didn't fall behind. They approached the canyon from the other side. They were about to meet up with the enemy and save Li Bohan. Li Bohan also rushed towards them with his men.
The enemy leader seized a good opportunity. He suddenly cut down two people and rushed towards Li Bohan. He raised his saber and slashed down at Li Bohan.
"Your Highness!" Chu Wenyuan turned pale with fright and hurriedly rushed over.
At this moment, Chu Xiang took out the bow on her back, aimed, and shot. In that instant, the saber that was slashing at Li Bohan changed direction. That person fell from the horse's back!
Li Bohan waved his saber and directly ended that person's life. He looked up and saw that Chu Xiang was still in her shooting position. He suddenly realized that he didn't understand Chu Xiang. He never knew that Chu Xiang's archery was so accurate. She could hit the target from so far away. He was afraid that even the sharpshooters in the army couldn't do it.
Chu Xiang's soldiers surrounded Li Bohan and quickly protected him as they escaped the canyon. This shocked Li Bohan again. Chu Xiang's caravan had this kind of skill? What had she been doing outside for the past few years?
All the soldiers other than Chu Wenyuan were also shocked. Before they came, they were worried that "Lin Mu" would lose his life. Who would have thought that Lin Mu would bravely kill the enemy on the battlefield. He didn't show any mercy and cut off more enemy heads than they did. He even saved the prince with an arrow! No wonder Chu Wenyuan wanted to bring Lin Mu here. He wasn't an ordinary merchant, he was a soldier king!
Chu Xiang rubbed the slightly painful web between her thumb and index finger. She put away her bow and arrow, opened a path with her saber, and gradually withdrew from the battlefield. In fact, she wasn't as powerful as everyone thought. Her archery skills were because she attached spiritual energy to the arrows. Naturally, she could make the arrows go wherever she wanted them to go. She could make the arrows as powerful as she wanted.
It was the same with the saber. She didn't use the saber with spiritual energy, but the saber carried her to kill. This was the most suitable way for her to protect herself. She didn't use it often, and she didn't use the bow and arrow at all. She didn't expect to use it here. Fortunately, she saved Li Bohan and didn't let their efforts over the years go to waste.
Chu Xiang rode to Li Bohan. Her people were all by Li Bohan's side. It was safest to go there. At this time, the battle situation was clear. The enemy couldn't hurt Li Bohan, nor could they beat Chu Wenyuan's army. They could only run away.
The soldiers relaxed a little, and several arrows were shot at Chu Xiang. She just shot their leader. They had to take revenge even if they had to run for their lives!
Li Bohan shouted anxiously, "Xiang 'er, be careful!" He urged the horse to run wildly.
Chu Xiang waved her saber to block two arrows. One arrow brushed past her cheek. When she lowered her head to avoid the other arrow, the arrow brushed her scalp and shot off her hair cover.
This time, she didn't wear armor at all. Naturally, she didn't have a helmet. As soon as the hair cover fell off, her black hair fell down. The soldiers and the enemy were shocked. Chu Wenyuan was the first to react. He killed those people, led the army to capture many captives, and completely defeated the enemy.
Li Bohan quickly rushed to Chu Xiang's side. He dismounted and carried her down from the horse. He nervously wiped the blood on her face. "Xiang 'er, how are you?"
Chu Xiang frowned slightly. "It's okay. It's just a superficial wound."
She pushed Li Bohan away and wiped it herself. Suddenly, she stopped. She changed her appearance, but it could be washed off. If she wiped the blood on her face, wouldn't she be exposed? She looked at the soldiers present. From their shocked expressions, she understood that she was completely exposed this time. She couldn't hide the fact that she was Lin Mu anymore.
Li Bohan had never seen her injured, not to mention that she came to save him. He didn't care whether they were exposed or not. He pulled her onto the horse and rushed back to the barracks.
This time, the fact that Qin Wangfei was Lin Mu was completely exposed. The problem was that Qin Wangfei was a well-known demon concubine. She was a jealous woman who would contradict Imperial Concubine Yu and confuse the Duke of Qin! How did she become Lin Mu? Wasn't Lin Mu a legendary figure with great ability? Lin Mu could even be considered as their bread and butter. It was all thanks to Lin Mu that they could live comfortably on the battlefield. How could he be Chu Xiang?
But the truth was in front of them. Chu Xiang was Lin Mu. She could be the Duke of Qin's money bag, kill the enemy on the battlefield, and shoot the enemy leader with an arrow. Thinking carefully, didn't "Lin Mu" appear when Chu Xiang left the capital? So in the first few months, Qin Wangfei didn't show up because she used the alias "Lin Mu" to earn money outside?
No one dared to believe it, but they had to believe it. Their feelings were indescribably complicated. When the rebel leaders heard this, they felt it was even more inconceivable. How did the Duke of Qin choose this woman? She was so powerful. No wonder the Duke of Qin doted on Qin Wangfei. This kind of woman wasn't just a simple woman. She was the Duke of Qin's right-hand woman!
Among all the people, the one who couldn't accept it the most was the Emperor. He couldn't believe that the legendary Lin Mu was actually the Chu Xiang that he personally crippled and sent away.
