The daughter of the first wife is reborn and marries a rich family again

At the border, the sky was filled with yellow sand and the wind was biting cold. Yu Caiwei and Xiao Cheng led the elite troops, marching day and night, recruiting scattered warriors along the way, and their morale was high.

"Look over there, those are the reinforcements from the capital! Miss Yu is here in person, we are saved!" A tired soldier saw the flag in the distance, a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

"Miss Yu? Is she the heroine who solved the conspiracy in the imperial court? Seeing is believing. If we follow her, we will definitely win the battle!"

At the border camp, Yu Caiwei stood on a high platform, looking at the enemy formation looming in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, in the face of national crisis, we have no way out. Although we were not born here, we swear to defend the land. In the battle tomorrow, either you die or I die!"

"We swear to follow General Yu until death!" The shouts shook the sky, echoing between the vast heaven and earth.

On the eve of the decisive battle, Yu Caiwei and Xiao Cheng were discussing tomorrow's strategy in low voices by the campfire.

"The enemy outnumbers us. We can't gain the upper hand in a head-on confrontation." Xiao Cheng frowned.

Yu Caiwei chuckled, her eyes flashing with wisdom: "Then let them mess up their positions. I have a plan. We will use the terrain to set up an ambush, lure the enemy deep into our territory, and then use a surprise attack to defeat them."

"Good plan! But you must be careful and don't take risks." Xiao Cheng said worriedly.

"Don't worry, I will protect myself." Yu Caiwei patted his shoulder gently, her eyes full of determination and confidence.

On the day of the decisive battle, the sun pierced through the clouds, and the battlefield was filled with the flashing of swords and the sound of killing. Just as Yu Caiwei had expected, the enemy fell into a trap, was divided and surrounded, and finally fled in defeat.

When the good news came, the capital was in an uproar. People lined the streets to welcome the triumphant heroes, and their journey home was paved with flowers and applause.

"Look, that's Miss Yu! She really did it!"

"Lord Zheng is here too. They are simply the guardians of our capital!"

“I really hope that one day I can become someone like them.”

In the palace, the emperor specially gave a banquet to entertain the three meritorious officials. During the banquet, the emperor slowly said: "Three of you, I have no way to repay you for your great contribution. But for the peace and prosperity of the country, you still need to continue to protect it."

Yu Caiwei raised her glass, with a hint of mystery in her smile: "Your Majesty, rest assured, as long as this land still needs us, we will always be here to guard it."

After the banquet, the three of them walked out of the palace side by side under the moonlight. The night in the capital was particularly peaceful because of their presence.

"Caiwei, it sounds like there's more to what you just said to the emperor?" Zheng Zhuohua asked puzzledly.

Yu Caiwei turned around, looking through the dimly lit streets and towards the endless night sky: "Yes, this story is far from over, because the real challenges are often hidden behind peace..."

"What challenge?" Xiao Cheng asked.

Yu Caiwei smiled lightly, revealing an extraordinary demeanor between her brows: "Challenges come from the unknown, perhaps a conspiracy lurking deeper, or perhaps an emerging force that is about to stir up the world. But no matter what, as long as we stick to the justice and faith in our hearts, there is nothing we cannot overcome."

"That's right." Zheng Zhuohua nodded in agreement, his eyes firm, "No matter what the road ahead holds, as long as we face it together, there is nothing to be afraid of."

"But before that," Xiao Cheng interrupted with a rare relaxed smile on his face, "shouldn't we first enjoy the moment of peace brought by victory? After all, heroes are also human beings, and they also need rest and celebration."

Yu Caiwei and Zheng Zhuohua smiled at each other. Yes, even in such a turbulent era, they should seize every opportunity to enjoy peace.

In the teahouse on the corner of the street, the three of them changed into casual clothes, mingled among ordinary people, and listened to the laughter around them. An unprecedented sense of belonging arose spontaneously.

"Have you heard that Miss Yu is not only talented and intelligent, but also good at leading troops in battles? She is truly as good as any man!" A young man dressed as a scholar exclaimed in admiration to his companion across the table.

"That's right, our capital has finally produced a legendary figure!" echoed his companion, his tone full of pride.

Upon hearing this, the old tea drinker stroked his beard and said slowly: "The world is unpredictable and heroes emerge in large numbers. I hope this peace can last longer. After all, the people just want a stable life."

The three of them could not help but resonate with these words. Yu Caiwei gently put down the teacup, her eyes gently swept across the smiling faces around her, and she secretly vowed in her heart that for this hard-won peace, she and her companions would protect it at all costs.

Suddenly, the door of the teahouse was pushed open, and a gust of wind blew in, bringing a hint of coolness. A ragged traveler stumbled in, attracting a burst of surprised looks from the surroundings. He stumbled to the counter and said something to the boss in a low voice, and the boss's expression became solemn.

Yu Caiwei keenly caught this scene. She signaled Xiao Cheng and Zheng Zhuohua to pay attention, and she stood up calmly, and approached the counter under the pretext of refilling tea.

"What happened?" she asked her boss in a low voice.

The boss glanced around and confirmed that no one was paying attention, then he whispered, "This guest is a refugee from the border. He said that a small town on the border was attacked by an unknown force. The entire town became a deserted city overnight, with no one alive."

Yu Caiwei was startled. This was obviously not an ordinary incident. "What did he say about the details?" she asked.

The boss shook his head: "He only knows this much. He also barely escaped death. The specific circumstances may only be known if the court sends someone to investigate."

Yu Caiwei nodded silently, returned to her seat, and told Zheng Zhuohua and Xiao Cheng what she had heard. The bustle in the teahouse suddenly seemed to have nothing to do with them, and the three of them fell into deep thought.

"It seems that our rest time will end early." Xiao Cheng said with a wry smile.

Zheng Zhuohua nodded seriously: "No matter what, this matter is of great importance. We must report it to the emperor immediately."

Yu Caiwei looked at the bright moon outside the window, her eyes flashing with determination: "It's time, we set out again. No matter what is waiting for us ahead, as long as there is light in our hearts, the darkness will eventually be dispelled."

Just as the conversation reached this point, outside the teahouse, a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds came from far away, followed by an urgent report: "The capital is on alert, there is urgent military information!"

The conversation in the store came to an abrupt end, and everyone's eyes turned to the door. An uneasy atmosphere quietly spread. Yu Caiwei and the other two exchanged glances, and it seemed that they all understood at this moment that a new challenge had quietly arrived.

"Let's go." Yu Caiwei stood up, her words brief but powerful. The three of them quickly paid the bill and left into the night, leaving everyone in the teahouse looking at each other and talking.

"What else is there in this capital that we don't know?"
