Since the great victory in Jingzhou, when Xia Qin defeated the border troops led by Qin Haoran cleanly and efficiently, the armies of Yizhou and Xuzhou also retreated quickly.

At the same time, after the Japanese withdrew to their country, most of Jiaozhou was quickly recovered by Gao Ruotong.

Within just a few months after Xia Qin's arrival, Jingzhou, Yangzhou and Jiaozhou welcomed the long-lost peace and tranquility.

Just like Jinghai County a few months ago, although it is still winter, these places have begun to enter into busy reconstruction work.

Seeing that Jiaozhou, which was originally dilapidated and almost empty, suddenly became popular, Xia Qin's expression of concealment due to the previous war disappeared. She knew that she had made the right choice.

Today, the streets and alleys of Jiaozhou are full of vitality. People are busy building houses, reclaiming land, and resuming production. Children are playing in the streets and alleys, and their laughter echoes in the air. The elderly sit at the door to bask in the sun and enjoy the warmth of winter.

Xia Qin strolled along the streets of Jiaozhou, feeling the lively atmosphere.

An indescribable sense of pride and satisfaction surged from the bottom of her heart, sweeping over her like a tide and drowning her.

Thanks to their own efforts, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even millions of people have seen hope in life again. Their eyes are no longer confused, but full of expectations for the future; their smiles are no longer bitter, but filled with the joy of being reborn.

This sense of pride and satisfaction was something she could not have imagined before she traveled through time.

At that time, she might feel proud of completing a mission, or satisfied with destroying a criminal group, but that was just a personal achievement. However, now, everything she did changed and affected the fate of countless people.

As the gloom on Xia Qin's face gradually dissipated, the worry on Mo Ye's face also dissipated.

His eyes fell on her softly, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a doting smile: "Xia Xia, this place is managed quite well by Ruotong."

Gao Ruotong scratched his head and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Brother Yunchen, I don't refuse the credit for defeating the Japanese pirates, but the governance of this place is all the credit of Brother Zhong Fengxing."

This honor was passed to Zhong Fengxing like a parcel of parcels. He gently waved the feather fan in his hand, and said calmly: "Everything was done according to the model of Mu Shijun in Jinghai County. If there is any credit, it is also Mu Shijun's credit."

Xia Qin looked at them speechlessly, shook her head and smiled bitterly, "You all seem to be of high moral character."

She looked at the towering mountains in the distance. Although Jiaozhou was not as prosperous as Yangzhou, in modern terms, it could only be regarded as a place of exile.

But in Xia Qin's eyes, there is a kind of beauty of paradise. These days, she has traveled all over Yangzhou and Jingzhou, but she likes this place more.

Surrounded by mountains, there are one or two cities and scattered villages, which is very suitable for the secluded life she dreams of.

The life she longed for seemed to be very close to her. She looked at Mo Ye and found that he was also looking around with the same expectation in his eyes.

The two looked at each other without saying anything, but they both saw the hope for a better life in each other's eyes.

"Brother Mo Ye, Sister Xia Qin, something bad has happened!"

Not long after Xia Qin changed Ah Gui's name to Xia Xiao, the way he addressed Xia Qin also changed.

"What's wrong?" Mo Ye looked at Xia Xiao and had a bad feeling in his heart. Although Xia Xiao was young, he was always calm and rarely so panicked.

"There were fires and poisoning incidents in many places in Jingzhou and Yangzhou two days ago, and many people died. Brother Mu Jinyu asked me to call you back as soon as possible!"

The suspicion on Xia Qin's face only flashed for a moment, then turned into anger, and she cursed in a deep voice.

"What a bunch of inhuman bastards!"
