Chapter 114 The war finally came to an end, and Xin'an was filled with happiness.
When the good news arrived, Su Jinxin felt a buzzing in her ears, as if the world had lost its color, with only the phrase "The enemy chieftain was... was beheaded by General Yan!" echoing in her mind.
She stumbled and nearly fell, but General Wang caught her quickly.
"Mrs. Su, are you alright?"
Su Jinxin took a deep breath, trying to calm herself, but tears blurred her vision.
Is he...is he still alive?
The soldier knelt on one knee, his voice trembling with emotion: "General Yan is seriously wounded, but... but his life is not in danger!"
Su Jinxin's heart finally settled down. She forced back her tears and managed a smile that looked more like a grimace: "It's good that you're alive, it's good that you're alive..."
Meanwhile, on the battlefield thousands of miles away, the sounds of battle cries shook the heavens.
When Yan Cheng'an learned that Su Jinxin's supplies had been delivered to the border, it was like a shot in the arm. He knew that the moment of decisive battle had arrived!
He drew his sword, its blade pointed directly at the enemy ranks, and shouted, "Soldiers, for our homeland, charge!"
The soldiers' morale soared, and they charged towards the enemy like tigers descending a mountain.
The enemy fought back desperately, with swords flashing and blood and flesh flying everywhere. The battlefield was filled with smoke and fire, like a living hell.
Yan Cheng'an led from the front, displaying unparalleled bravery. Wielding his long sword, he reaped the lives of enemy soldiers like a grim reaper.
The enemy was no pushover either; they took advantage of the terrain and put up a fierce resistance, resulting in a stalemate between the two sides.
Just then, General Wang arrived with the supplies provided by Su Jinxin.
"Brothers, the supplies and equipment sent by Madam Su have arrived! Let's give it our all and take them down!"
The soldiers cheered and jumped for joy, as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and their fighting power instantly soared.
With ample supplies, they descended like divine warriors, unstoppable.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Yan Cheng'an decisively ordered: "All troops, listen to my command and launch a general offensive!"
He took the lead, charging ahead, his long sword gleaming coldly, like a bolt of lightning, slicing through the enemy's defenses.
"For victory! For our homeland!" Yan Cheng'an roared, his sword pointing directly at the enemy chieftain.
The enemy chieftain was no pushover either; he brandished his broadsword and engaged in a fierce battle with Yan Cheng'an.
Swords clashed, sparks flew, and the two fought back and forth, locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle.
Just then, Yan Cheng'an seized an opening and thrust out his longsword like a venomous snake...
"No—" The enemy chieftain let out a desperate roar... Yan Cheng'an looked at the fallen enemy chieftain, his eyes cold, and slowly raised his blood-stained sword... "It's over..."
The enemy chieftain's desperate cry of "No—" became the final lament on the battlefield.
Yan Cheng'an raised his sword and brought it down, the enemy chieftain fell to the ground with a thud, his head rolling far away, startling several crows that cawed loudly.
The enemy army was instantly routed, scattering and fleeing in all directions, with cries of "father" and "mother" echoing throughout the land.
Yan Cheng'an gave the order: "Brothers, press on while the enemy is winning, leave no one alive!" Our soldiers were like chickens injected with chicken blood, roaring and chasing after them. The scene was even more lively than the New Year!
The news of Yan Chengan's triumphant return spread throughout the streets and alleys, even faster than the spread of a virus.
The people spread the news, singing and dancing to celebrate this hard-won victory.
Upon hearing the news, Su Jinxin could no longer sit still; she wished she could sprout wings and fly to Yan Cheng'an's side immediately.
Ignoring everyone's advice, she rushed out of the mansion and ran all the way to the city gate.
From afar, she saw Yan Cheng'an riding a tall horse, looking dashing and heroic, like a god descending to earth.
Su Jinxin could no longer hold back her tears, and she rushed over, throwing herself into Yan Chengan's arms.
Yan Cheng'an held her tightly, as if afraid that she would disappear if he let go.
The soldiers and civilians around them erupted in thunderous cheers. This touching scene was even sweeter than an idol drama!
"Ahem," Yan Cheng'an coughed lightly twice, looked down at Su Jinxin in his arms, and said softly, "Wife, so many people are watching..." Su Jinxin then realized what was happening, her pretty face flushed, and she crawled out of Yan Cheng'an's arms.
"Madam General, the General has returned victorious! How will you reward him?" a soldier jeered.
Upon hearing this, everyone chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, what's the reward?"
Su Jinxin winked playfully, leaned close to Yan Chengan's ear, and whispered, "Let's talk about it tonight... when we get back to the manor."
Yan Cheng'an's ears turned red instantly. He grabbed Su Jinxin's hand, mounted his horse, and led her into the city.
Just then, a messenger arrived at full speed, shouting, "The imperial edict has arrived!"
Everyone knelt down in unison to receive the imperial decree.
The messenger unfurled the imperial edict and read aloud: "By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: General Yan Cheng'an is wise and brave, and has rendered meritorious service to the country. He is hereby specially appointed as the Grand General Who Guards the Nation, and is awarded ten thousand taels of gold and a thousand acres of fertile land..."
Upon hearing this, everyone was immediately in an uproar. This reward was far too generous!
That's incredibly luxurious!
Yan Cheng'an himself remained quite calm, as if he had expected it all along.
The messenger continued reading: "Su Jinxin, with discerning eyes and strategic planning, has rendered great service to the country. She is hereby rewarded..." What followed was a long list of rewards, including fine silks, pearls, agates, and rare treasures, which dazzled the crowd and made them drool.
Su Jinxin thought to herself: My God!
This is practically buy one get one free, we're making a killing!
After the imperial edict was read, the crowd shouted "Long live the Emperor!" once again.
Su Jinxin accepted the imperial edict, her smile spreading across her face.
Now her business empire is about to expand again, it's so exciting!
Back at the manor, Su Jinxin hadn't even had time to calm her excited emotions before Yan Cheng'an pulled her into his arms.
“My wife,” Yan Cheng’an’s voice was deep and magnetic, “you’ve worked hard.”
Su Jinxin leaned against Yan Chengan's chest, feeling his warmth and strength.
“It’s not hard work,” she said softly. “I’m so happy to be able to protect this home and this country with you.”
Yan Chengan gently stroked Su Jinxin's hair, his eyes filled with tenderness.
"From now on, I will work even harder to make you the happiest woman in the world."
Su Jinxin looked up at Yan Chengan, her eyes sparkling with happiness.
The two embraced and kissed, everything understood without words.
As night deepened, moonlight streamed through the window into the room, casting a soft glow on the floor.
Yan Chengan gently lifted Su Jinxin's hair and whispered in her ear, "My wife, tonight..."
Su Jinxin blushed and said coquettishly, "You're so annoying..." Suddenly she remembered something and took out a delicate little wooden box from under her pillow.
"What is this?" Yan Chengan asked curiously.
Su Jinxin smiled mysteriously and slowly opened the wooden box... Inside the box lay a beautifully carved jade pendant, with a phoenix spreading its wings and flying high on the front, and a small character "安" (peace) on the back.
Yan Cheng'an recognized it at a glance; it was the jade pendant he had lost when he was young, and he never expected it to be in Su Jinxin's hands.
"Where...where did you get this from?" Yan Cheng'an asked, his voice tinged with disbelief.
Su Jinxin smiled slyly: "It's a secret! But this isn't an ordinary jade pendant~" She paused, then said mysteriously, "It's the key to unlock the treasure!"
Yan Cheng'an: ? ? ? Treasure?
Su Jinxin blinked: "That's right! A treasure trove that's worth more than a country! How about that, aren't you surprised and delighted?"
Yan Cheng'an was both amused and exasperated; his wife really did always say things that were sure to shock him.
However, he knew that Su Jinxin was not someone who spoke carelessly.
"So, when does my wife plan to take me treasure hunting?" Yan Cheng'an played along with Su Jinxin's joke, his eyes full of doting affection.
"No rush, no rush," Su Jinxin waved her hand, "Let's put the treasure thing aside for now, I have something more important to discuss with you."
Yan Cheng'an raised an eyebrow: "Oh? What could be more important than the treasure?"
Su Jinxin took a stack of drawings from the bedside table and unfolded them in front of Yan Chengan. "Look, this is my latest business plan..."
Yan Cheng'an's gaze fell on the drawing, which was densely covered with all sorts of strange patterns and symbols. He looked completely bewildered.
Seeing this, Su Jinxin smiled and explained, "Simply put, I want to open up a new business field and create an unprecedented... amusement park!"
Yan Cheng'an: ? ? ? Amusement park? What's this new and exciting thing?
"That's right, it's an amusement park!" Su Jinxin's eyes sparkled with excitement. "There will be a carousel, a roller coaster, a Ferris wheel..."
“Wait, wait, wait,” Yan Chengan interrupted Su Jinxin’s rambling, “Merry-go-round? Roller coaster? Ferris wheel? What are these things?”
Su Jinxin smiled mysteriously: "You'll see when the time comes! I guarantee you'll have so much fun you won't want to leave!" She paused, then added, "This is a very profitable business!"
Yan Chengan looked at Su Jinxin's enthusiastic expression, his heart filled with curiosity and anticipation.
He knew that whatever Su Jinxin wanted to do, she would definitely succeed.
“Oh, right,” Su Jinxin said, as if suddenly remembering something, pulling another box from under her pillow, “and this…”
Yan Cheng'an looked at the second box and wondered: What is it this time?
Could it be the key to the second treasure?
Su Jinxin opened the box, but what she found inside was not a treasure, but a... land deed.
"This is……"
"I've bought that piece of land in the west of the city." Su Jinxin's tone was casual, yet her words carried weight.
Yan Cheng'an: !!!
