Mountains and rivers are waiting for you to return

Chapter 180 A Loved One
After the "criminal animals" were tortured and killed, the remaining troops of the Wu tribe were quickly wiped out.

As soon as the war ended, the Qilu army led by Pei Nai and the Tianyao Northwest Border Army led by Han Ruize stayed behind to clean up the battlefield.

They had to check whether there were any living enemies and also pile up the corpses and burn them.

After all, this is within the territory of the Valley Kingdom, and they want to avoid the occurrence of post-war plague.

After Pei Nai avenged Huyan Weizhao, he assessed the situation on the battlefield and sent an urgent letter to Shao Liran, asking him not to rush to join them, but to clean up the battlefield, check the enemy troops in the traps, and prevent any disaster.

The three armies agreed to meet in the underground city two days later.

During the attack, the Tianyao army was poisoned several times by the Wu army. Although the antidote was used in time, some people still felt unwell and had fever symptoms.

The soldiers were worried about the safety of their comrades, and were also worried that someone might not take enough medicine, which might cause chaos, so they invited Gu Jinheng to go.

I hope he can take the time to review it and avoid any omissions.

On the plain, some soldiers were resting, while many people were busy running around.

Gu Jinheng went to see the wounded. The various units of the Qilu army followed the procedures and cleaned up the battlefield in batches together with the Tianyao army.

Pei Na had nothing to do, so he just walked around.

When she passed by a pile of dead bodies that had not yet been cleared, she saw a spear in the hand of a Wu tribe general. The material looked quite good.

Pei Nai's eyes widened slightly and he walked over quietly.

She picked up the spear and examined its structure, just then, a voice came from behind her.

"What are you doing?" Han Ruize said with a smile.

Pei Nai was so scared that he almost dropped his gun. He turned to look at him, feeling a little guilty: "Come and see how the battlefield is cleaned up. You know what, the armaments of the Wu tribe barbarians are much better than they were ten years ago."

"Well, they have plundered resources from various countries over the years." Han Ruize walked closer and spread out his hand, revealing a fresh peach in his palm.

He rinsed the peaches with clean water and even cut them into pieces considerately, which looked very thirst-quenching.

"Look, I saw a few peach trees and picked one for you." Han Ruize handed the peach to Pei Nai.

Pei Nai wanted to take it, but she had just touched the dead man's spear and hadn't washed her hands yet, so she looked down at her palms.

Han Ruize took the kettle from his waist, poured water for her, and asked her to hold it up and wash.

He took the spear from her hand with the hand holding the kettle and handed it to a soldier passing by.

Pei Nai suddenly realized that he had been fooled, and he washed his hands while feeling angry.

"There's no point in pouting. Don't you know how badly you're injured? I told you to be reckless, but you rushed forward even though you knew you couldn't defeat the Qingyun Tianji." Han Ruize scolded her.

Pei Nai was not convinced, "If I don't charge, how can I find out his strength and how can I know how to beat him next time?"

"There are many reasons. If we had arrived a step later, you would have lost your life there. Don't you know that?" Han Ruize saw that her hands were washed and put the kettle away.

Pei Nai shook his hands to clear the water droplets, "I know."

Han Ruize seemed to be angered by her words again. He looked up at the sky and then suppressed his anger.

Pei Nai sensed something was wrong and wondered whether to stroke his fur.

Han Ruize seemed to be a little angry with her since the battle between her and Yue Cang, angry that she went into battle alone without waiting for them to arrive.

"Then do you know that feeling? If I see your corpse again, I will no longer help you to bury it. I will burn you and scatter your ashes!" Han Ruize stuffed the peach into her hand and turned away.

Pei Nai screamed, "Eh? Don't be angry!" and chased after him.

"You're just being stubborn. If I died, you would definitely not ignore me." Pei Nai walked beside him and teased him.

Han Ruize glared at her and didn't want to say anything.

"Okay! I promise you, next time if I'm not 80% sure, I will hold back and won't rush forward!" Pei Nai promised.

Han Ruize's expression eased a little, "At least 90%."

"Okay!" Pei Nai responded, then ate a peach and flattered him, "As expected, it was washed by General Han, it's really sweet."

Han Ruize patted her on the head and went to deal with business.

Pei Nai was empty again and looked around.

Zhang Sheng was still sitting there, looking at Xing Xiaoren who was hanging in the air.

He looked dazed, as if he had lost his soul.

Thinking of the tragic death of his father and millions of people, even though the enemy had paid with blood, he still felt bad. Originally, he was still relying on the idea of revenge to keep going, but now that he finally got his revenge, he felt like there was a hole in his heart, and he didn't know where to go.

But he is Zhang Sheng, the grown-up Zhang Sheng. He will recover, and the entire post-war Valley Kingdom needs him.

Pei Nai was looking for Huyan Weizhao again.

When he was found, he was sitting under a tree on the south side of the battlefield, wiping his God-Slaying Axe.

Pei Nai thought that if she were separated from her weapon for such a long time, she would be more reluctant to let it go than Huyan Weizhao, and might even sleep with the spear in her arms that day.

However, her Lingyue Spear could no longer accompany her.

The more Pei Nai thought about this bastard Yue Cang, the angrier he got.

Pei Nai walked over, originally just wanting to chat with Huyan Weizhao and see his mental state.

But when he heard her footsteps, Huyan Weizhao raised his head.

The coldness in his eyes disappeared instantly. It seemed that he had not yet recovered from the state of fighting and revenge. When he saw Pei Nai, his eyes softened a little.

He said: "General Pei, I haven't told you yet, thank you!"

"What are you thanking me for? Aren't we teammates?" Pei Nai felt that he was too polite.

Huyan Weizhao smiled bitterly. "For so many years, I have chased them across half the continent and found countless opportunities, but I couldn't even touch them. I struggled alone in the sea of suffering, exhausted myself, and didn't know where hope lies."

After all, if you count his enemies, Yue Cang, Si Kou Xiu and his two younger brothers, the "sinful animals", are either gods of a country or generals of the Wu clan, and they are all heavily protected.

And Huyan Weizhao is the only one there. If he shows up, it will be difficult for him to escape unscathed.

Huyan Weizhao continued, "After traveling with you, within a month, I have killed Si Kou Xiu and the 'criminal beast', and even got back the divine axe. It all seems like a dream, and I even feel it is not real now."

"There are also Si Kou Xiu's two younger brothers and Yue Cang. In the end, we have to capture the Wu clan's capital and rescue your daughter and other girls. I remember everything for you." Pei Nai thought of yesterday's experience and said regretfully: "It's a pity that I'm not strong enough, otherwise yesterday would have been a good opportunity to keep Yue Cang."

Huyan Weizhao shook his head. "As a human being, we should be grateful. What you have done for us is good enough."

Like Grandma Axun, he hated Yue Cang to the core, but they couldn't bear to urge Pei Nai and didn't want to add pressure to Pei Nai.

His daughter was clearly still suffering in the Wu Clan Temple, and he was more anxious than anyone else.

Pei Nai exhaled and calmed himself down, "You guys make me even more worried when you say that."

She felt sorry for the innocent people who were harmed by Yue Cang, the Wu tribe, and the Western Allied Forces.

Neither of them spoke for a moment.

Until the pressure came over, Gu Jinheng tapped her shoulder.

Pei Nai looked into the distance and saw Gu Jinheng coming towards him. There must be something going on.

She said goodbye to Huyan Weizhao and strode over.

As she got closer to Gu Jinheng, Fang jogged a few steps, rushed into his arms, and hugged him before separating.

"What's wrong?" Pei Nai wanted to ask him what happened, but found that Gu Jinheng's eyes were a little red. Suddenly, she panicked and hugged his face with both hands, "Eh? Why are your eyes red?"

Gu Jinheng touched the back of her hand and said, "It's okay. I just saw you running towards me and I missed you."

"You scared me." Pei Nai took her hand back and hugged him again.

Gu Jinheng patted her back and said, "Han Ruize and several generals from Qilu didn't find you. They said that according to the progress, the bodies can be burned before sunset today. Next, should we rush to clean up the poisonous people in Kunjin City and return to the underground city overnight, or set up camp nearby? We are waiting for your decision."

"It's too late. It's dangerous to face a poisonous person in the dark." Pei Nai looked up at the sky.

The bright sun is indeed getting smaller and smaller, slowly setting in the west.

"There are not many Wu troops left in the country, and they are not enough to pose a deterrent. Let's set up camp nearby. We have been traveling all day, fighting, and cleaning up the battlefield. Let's give everyone a break. Tomorrow we will return eastward and clean up the poisonous people in Kunjin City and Liye City on the way."

Gu Jinheng took Pei Nai's hand and led her to the meeting place, chuckling, "Well, I'll help General Pei translate for them."

"But the entire army should move a little further east before setting up camp. A battle just took place here and it's very scary to sleep at night," Pei Nai suggested.

"Okay." Gu Jinheng didn't respond.

The two walked towards the army together, and their figures became smaller and smaller.

Huyan Weizhao held the Divine Axe in his arms and watched them go away, tears welling up in his eyes.

He murmured, "Those who have love will surely receive love in return."
