After rebirth, the wife of the Houfu shark went crazy

Chapter 135: My wife is not worthy of your protection?

Jiang Xiyu was a little surprised, "So fast?"

Xu Rui smiled bitterly, "The bandit problem in the north is serious. We can't wait any longer. I have to lead the troops to the battle tomorrow."

Jiang Xiyu nodded, "Yeah."

Xu Rui was very happy. He stayed with Jiang Xiyu in the small kitchen for a while before leaving.

Afterwards, he went to see Zheng.

Ever since Zheng broke her leg, she has been recuperating in her own room.

It’s not that Zheng didn’t want to make trouble and cause trouble for Jiang Xiyu, but it was because Xu Rui sent two maids to watch her. Every time she wanted to come out or make trouble, the maids would directly remind her with Xu Rui’s words.

Zheng has always been afraid of Xu Rui. She knew that Xu Rui would protect Jiang Xiyu in the mansion, so Zheng really didn't dare to cause trouble for Jiang Xiyu under Xu Rui's nose.

"Master Hou."

The servants in Zheng's room bowed to Xu Rui when they saw him coming.

"Rui'er." Seeing Xu Rui, Zheng's lifeless eyes instantly lit up.

The old woman was feeding Zheng the medicine, and Xu Rui went over and said, "Let me do it."

Upon hearing this, the old woman immediately handed the medicine bowl to Xu Rui and bowed and stepped aside.

"Go down."

Xu Rui gave an order and all the servants in the room retreated.

As soon as those people left, Zheng couldn't wait to ask, "Rui'er, why haven't you come to see mother these days?"

It’s not that Xu Rui doesn’t want to see her, but every time he comes, she says bad things about Jiang Xiyu, and he doesn’t want to listen, so he comes less often.

"I've been busy these days." Xu Rui said perfunctorily and began to feed Zheng medicine.

Xu Rui's expression was serious, and Zheng didn't dare to say much.

Only after feeding him a bowl of medicine did Xu Rui say, "I'm going to the battle tomorrow."

"What?" Zheng was shocked when she heard this and grabbed Xu Rui's hand tightly. "What's going on? Didn't you just come back? Why are you going to war again?"

Xu Rui frowned and explained, "There's a bandit problem in the north, and His Majesty asked me to lead the troops to the north to suppress the bandits."

Xu Rui's explanation did not go unnoticed by Zheng. "There are so many people in Yun Dynasty, why does His Majesty always send only you to charge and kill the enemy? You've only been back for a few days, and you're going to such a dangerous place again."

As Zheng spoke, tears began to flow.

She feels sorry for her own son, even though others don't.

Xu Rui looked at Zheng's tearful face and finally softened his heart. He patted her hand and said comfortingly, "This time, His Majesty has appointed me as the General of the Protectorate."

Hearing this, Zheng's sadness turned into joy, and she excitedly grabbed Xu Rui, "Did His Majesty really appoint you as the Great General of the Nation?"

"Yeah." Xu Rui nodded.

Zheng was even more excited when he saw this. "Is he a general who can command the three armies like Jiang Kun did back then?"

"Yes, His Majesty has given me the military token, and I can now command the three armies."

Not only can he command the three armies, but he also has 300,000 troops under his complete control, just like Jiang Kun and Lin Songwen back then, with his own troops.

Zheng was even more excited. She grabbed Xu Rui's hand and clapped it non-stop. "That's great! When your father was alive, he always hoped that you could become a general commanding the three armies. Now his wish has finally come true. It's a pity that he..."

Thinking of her deceased husband, Zheng's eyes instantly turned red.

Seeing this, Xu Rui quickly comforted him, "It's too late this time. When I come back from this expedition, we will go to see father together."

Zheng immediately pulled Xu Rui with a distressed look on her face, "Your Majesty wants you to go to war tomorrow. Is it so urgent?"

Xu Rui nodded. "Yes, there's a serious bandit problem in the north. We must set out tomorrow morning."

Originally, this was Gu Wei's order. Zheng could only complain at most and would never dare to let Xu Rui disobey the order. What's more, this time Gu Wei also appointed Xu Rui as the General of National Defense, which was a great thing to bring honor to the family. Zheng naturally would not make any more noise.

"Then go ahead. Be careful and come back safely."

"Son understands." Feeling Zheng's concern, Xu Rui softened his voice and said, "You also need to rest well. Don't leave your room for the next few days. Leave the affairs of the mansion to Jiang. Just focus on recuperating. Everything else can be discussed after you recover."

When Jiang Xiyu was mentioned, a hint of anger flashed in Zheng's eyes.

But she still remembered that it was she who stepped on her foot and broke it. She wanted to deny it before. Others may not know, but she, the victim, knows it best.

Zheng didn't want to talk about Jiang Xiyu. She was just a little worried about Xu Rong. "Your sister hasn't come home for three days this time. I'm really worried about her."

Xu Rui narrowed his eyes slightly. "With her personality, who can bully her? What's more, she has the Yonglin Marquisate behind her. Now that I have been appointed the Great General of the Protectorate, the Zhou Mansion dare not treat her unfairly."

Although he hated Xu Rongyu, she was his sister after all.

Although he didn't want to get involved in her troubles, as long as his Yonglin Marquis Mansion was still standing, Xu Rong's life would not be difficult.

What Xu Rui said made sense, and Zheng felt a little relieved.

You are right. Now Xu Rui has been named the Great General of National Defense, and the Zhou family does not dare to bully Xu Rong.

Xu Rui thought of something and said, "When I'm not around, mother, please don't bully Jiang."

Zheng was immediately displeased when she heard this, "How did I bully Jiang Xiyu?"

Xu Rui's face darkened instantly, and he looked at her seriously, "Mother, do I need to bring up the past again?"

Zheng thought of the past and curled her lips in displeasure. "Do you think she's a pushover who I can bully whenever I want? If she really is, she could break my legs."

Xu Rui was originally a little worried that Zheng would make things difficult for Jiang Xiyu after he left, but when he heard what Zheng said, he was instantly relieved.

Now she is no longer the little lamb who can only swallow her anger, so he really has nothing to worry about.

After leaving Zheng's place, Xu Rui returned to the Yonglin Marquis Mansion and went to the villa from the study.

"Little Lord."

At the villa, the man in black robe was already waiting.

Xu Rui asked the man in black robe to gather everyone in the meeting room.

"Congratulations, young master, on obtaining military power." As soon as everyone arrived at the conference room, they all knelt down in front of Xu Rui.

Xu Rui raised his hand towards them, and they stood up and sat on both sides.

The black-robed man spoke first, "Young Master will lead his troops to war tomorrow. Who will follow him tomorrow?"

"Jin Wei is willing to follow the young master."

"Silver Guard is willing to follow the young master."

"The Bronze Guard is willing to follow the young master."

"The Iron Guard is willing to follow the young master."

The four guard leaders stepped forward one after another.

The black-robed man directly assigned, "Then this time, the Golden Guards will protect the Young Master."

"Yes." The leader of the Golden Guards immediately bowed in response.

Xu Rui frowned and said, "Let the Silver Guard follow, and the Golden Guard go to the Princess's Mansion to protect the Madam."

Xu Rui's words startled the black-robed man and the other four guard leaders.

Ask them to protect a woman?

Xu Rui could see through their thoughts and said coldly, "Why? My wife is not worthy of your protection?"
