The whole world is cultivating qi, only I am cultivating the body

Everyone in the Third Army was very excited. They had never thought that one day they would be able to go around Zhengxi City and return safely. This was something they could brag about for a long time even to those old seniors who had already retired. They could already imagine the envious looks their colleagues from the First and Second Armies would give them when they met them later.

Zeng Wenyu led the Third Army forward along the continent. When they arrived in front of the army of Zhengxi City, the Lord of Zhengxi City waved his hand, and the entire army retreated to the right, making way for the entire Third Army. They watched this group of female soldiers proudly leave from their sight.

This situation was a great mockery to the soldiers of Zhengxi City. If their city lord had not issued a death order, they would have rushed up and fought with the female soldiers long ago.

Unfortunately, this situation is no longer possible. No matter how angry they are, they have no way to attack the female soldiers who pass by them, because the female soldiers have hostages in their hands, and their superiors will not allow them to attack.

Although the troops next to them were glaring at them covetously, the female soldiers were not afraid. They held their heads high and walked away from the path they had vacated, all the way back to the camp guarding the border city. Huge cheers came from the First Army and the Second Army. Although there was competition between the three armies at normal times, they would not be stingy with their cheers on such a major issue.

Accompanied by huge cheers, the Lord of Shubian City, Zhang Manyue, Li Chuangang and Hua Wu Yue came out. The four of them felt a sense of emotion when they looked at Zeng Wenyu who was walking on the other side of them.

Hearing the cheers behind them, the Lord of Border Guard City walked up to Zeng Wenyu and the others and said, "Welcome back, heroes of Border Guard City!"

When the others heard the city lord's words, some pride showed on their faces, but Zeng Wenyu just shrugged his shoulders and didn't follow the others. Fortunately, the city lord didn't care about Zeng Wenyu's attitude.

"Okay, now release all the hostages you brought with you," the city lord said to Hua Nongyu behind Zeng Wenyu, "Don't worry about whether they will take the opportunity to kill us. I have just discussed it with the city lord opposite me, and we have sworn an oath in the name of Tianyi Continent that there will be no more war between the two cities for at least ten years."

Hua Nongyu and the others felt relieved after hearing what the city lord said. Of course, it was not because they did not trust their city lord, but mainly because they did not trust the other party. If there was no means of checks and balances, once they released the hostages, the other party would take advantage of this time to attack. Given the current situation of their First and Second Armies, they would probably be wiped out here.

After receiving the order, Hua Nongyu walked to the female soldiers who were escorting the hostages and waved her hand to let them release the hostages. The female soldiers followed the order and untied the chains on the hostages. Unlike the small and medium-sized nobles, the children of these truly powerful nobles in Zhengxi City did not make a noise. They just glanced at Zeng Wenyu from a distance and then left.

Feeling the gazes of those people, Zeng Wenyu knew that they had remembered him and would most likely take revenge on him madly when they saw him in the future. However, he didn't care. He had already offended them all now anyway. He would never go to Zhengxi City again, and he would not even stay in Shubian City. He would never see them again, so it didn't matter whether they took revenge or not.

Among these people, Li Qi and Zhang Qing were the most special. Originally, Zhang Qing stood where she was and was not going to leave, but Li Qi said something in her ear, and Zhang Qing reluctantly left with those people.

Zeng Wenyu could guess what Li Qi and Zhang Qing had said, which was nothing more than that if he didn't go back with them now, his father would definitely be suspected by the city lord. Seeing the resentful look Zhang Qing gave him before she left, Zeng Wenyu's body trembled. He decided to copy down the core ideas of the works of that world as soon as he returned, and after asking Hua Nongyu to give them to Goudan, he would leave from Shubian City immediately!

With the departure of the hostages, the army guarding the border city was also ready to leave. Because of the oath of the Lord of Zhengxi City, they didn't have to worry about the other party taking advantage of this opportunity to catch up with them. They just needed to leave with peace of mind.

An hour and a half later, they returned to the border city. Seeing the army coming back, the people in the border city who had waited until now cheered. Looking at the people lining the streets to welcome them, all the soldiers smiled sincerely, but this smile completely disappeared after they entered the city.

"What's going on? I seem to see a lot of signs of attacks in our city. Am I seeing things?" Hua Nongyu turned her head and asked Zeng Wenyu.

Zeng Wenyu hadn't spoken yet, but Lan Qianhu, who was standing next to Hua Nongyu, spoke first: "It's not like, it was indeed attacked! Look over there, those are obviously claw marks of monsters, and there are bloodstains in many houses. I'm sure that Shubian City must have been attacked!"

"Silence!"

The two had just discussed for a few sentences when Hua Wu Yue's voice came from the front. They could only shut their mouths and question Zeng Wenyu with their eyes.

Since Hua Wu Yue didn't allow any discussion, Zeng Wenyu certainly wouldn't make things difficult for himself at this time. He signaled Hua Nongyu and Lan Qianhu with his eyes not to ask him any more questions, and he followed Hua Wu Yue.

The army passed through the border city and finally returned to their respective camps under the gaze of all the people.

Back in the military camp, Hua Wu Yue looked at Zeng Wenyu and the others who were following behind him and said, "Gao Yi, Hua Nong Yu and the other soldiers come in to report. The others can go and rest first. The fire troops will prepare the best food tonight, and there will be unlimited drinks! Okay, let's disband now."

Hearing Hua Wu Yue's words, the whole military camp became excited. They shouted happily, as if they wanted to vent all the frustration and fear from yesterday's battle. Looking at them shouting, Hua Wu Yue shook his head and finally ignored them.

Several people followed Hua Wu Yue into the general's tent. It was Zeng Wenyu's first time here. The layout here was extremely simple. Apart from the map, sand table, and tables and chairs used for meetings, there was only the bed where Hua Wu Yue usually rested.

The tent was very clean. There was nothing that Zeng Wenyu couldn't see and no clothes scattered around.

"How is it? You are all heroes who defended the border city this time. Tell me what happened at that time?" Although Hua Wu Yue was also very tired after the battle, as a general, she had to ask these things clearly.

"Let me say it, Sister Hua?" Seeing that Zeng Wenyu didn't seem to want to say anything, Hua Nongyu took the initiative to step forward.
