Liang Chongyue grabbed the big hand that was slipping away with trembling hands, feeling the last warmth left in the world by the person in front of him.

The fighting was still going on around them. Liang Chongyue picked up his sword and stood guard beside Xiang Jingchuan's body. No one could get close to him.

Until he heard the trumpet of victory, Liang Chongyue was completely exhausted, and the sword in his hand slipped to the ground with a bang. Along with the sound of the sword hitting the ground, Liang Chongyue knelt on his knees, kneeling beside Xiang Jingchuan's already cold body, brushing off the snowflakes on his body.

"Yue'er!"

A familiar voice came from afar, but the snow was falling so heavily that Liang Chongyue couldn't see who was coming.

When Xiang Huayan arrived, he saw Chongyue kneeling beside a corpse. After seeing who it was, the sword that had been with him for many years fell to the ground, and his waist, which had been holding on all night, finally softened.

Tears blurred her vision. When Liang Chongyue looked up, she saw a familiar figure bending down and picking up Xiang Jingchuan. The spear on Xiang Jingchuan's body was pulled out, and not much blood was splattered. Only the two closest to her got some blood.

"It's snowing so heavily, the border is so far from the capital, and it's so cold. I want to take my cousin Jingchuan home."

Liang Chongyue's voice was not loud, and she didn't have the strength to speak louder now. She could only make sure that her uncle who was closest to her could hear her.

Without hearing the uncle's response, Liang Chongyue continued as he walked back beside his uncle, holding his and his uncle's weapons in his hands:

"Only a few escaped enemies are still hiding in the dark in the North. This is a perfect opportunity to pacify the border in one fell swoop. Cousin Jingchuan will definitely be happy to see this."

"And the Northern Territory. The Northern Territory's army only has 500,000 soldiers, half of whom have come here. Now they have been completely annihilated by us. If we attack them now, the Northern Territory will definitely not be able to fight them..."

Liang Chongyue chattered on and on, explaining her plan in detail to her uncle. Now she was blinded by anger and hatred and did not notice the look in her uncle's eyes when he looked at her.

She wants the North to pay for its blood debt with blood.

When they returned to the base, Liang Chongyue saw his second uncle standing at the checkpoint waiting for them from afar. When he saw them coming back, the corners of his mouth just raised, but fell again when he saw his eldest uncle holding someone in his arms.

The army was victorious, but he died in heavy snow on the day he was supposed to return to the capital.

Although they were able to capture the northern garrison in one fell swoop, the soldiers of Da Xia also suffered heavy losses. Liang Chongyue leaned against Xiang Jingchuan's body, watching silently as his second uncle skillfully handled Xiang Jingchuan's corpse.

It seemed like every movement had been performed dozens of times, and was now extremely skillful.

Listening to the cheers of the soldiers outside after their great victory, Liang Chongyue stared at Xiang Jingchuan's body and said silently:

"Uncle, I will leave for Beijing tomorrow and take my cousin Jingchuan's body with me."

It's cold now and the body is decomposing slowly. If she can walk faster and get to the capital, she can let her aunt take another look at it before burying it.

The system hasn't replied to her yet, and Liang Chongyue doesn't want to wait any longer. She can take her time with her scumbag father, and the matters in the northern border can also be replanned. She just wants her aunt to see Xiang Jingchuan for the last time before burying him.

"Chongyue, you're acting on impulse. You shouldn't go back at this time."

Xiang Huating treated Jingchuan's wounds with an expressionless face, as if the person was still alive.

"The army has suffered heavy casualties and needs to rest. The northern border is not so easy to conquer. His Majesty may not agree with your decision."

Liang Chongyue leaned back in a chair next to the corpse, looking completely undignified. Her body was covered in dirt from the battlefield. Looking at Xiang Jingchuan's lifeless face, she couldn't help but hate herself.

"Father will agree. He thinks about conquering the northern border every day. The northern border is like a cloth bag with a big hole torn in it. If we send troops, the hole will be torn even wider, and the treasures inside can be taken at will."

Liang Chongyue was sure that his scumbag father would agree. His scumbag father didn't care about the lives of the soldiers. He only cared about the prosperity of Daxia.

Liang Chongyue was still leaning back in the chair, quietly looking at Xiang Jingchuan's body, thinking about her own things, and she didn't even notice when her second uncle stopped what he was doing.

"Chongyue."

Hearing her second uncle's call, Liang Chongyue looked up and once again saw a probing look in her second uncle's deep eyes, as if he wanted to see through her eyes and see through the thoughts in her mind.

"What's the matter, uncle?"

Liang Chongyue asked in confusion. Her second uncle slowly approached her, walked in front of her, pulled a chair over and sat down. Ignoring the blood on his hands, he poured a cup of cold tea for himself and her.

There was still blood on the wall of the teacup. Liang Chongyue did not pick up the teacup. She only saw her second uncle pick up the teacup, drink it in one gulp, and then look at her with a steady gaze:

"Your original plan was to capture the border first and then the northern border, right?"

After Xiang Huating finished speaking, he let out a long sigh and leaned back. He didn't wait for Chongyue's response, nor did he care. He had a scale in his heart, and he would judge some things himself.

It was also the first time that Liang Chongyue saw her second uncle looking so tired. In her memory, her second uncle was always warm and gentle, as if time could not bear to hurt such a good person.

Liang Chongyue didn't expect that her original plan would be seen through by her second uncle. She remembered that her second uncle had looked at her with the same eyes before. Did he already notice it at that time?

"Yes, I want to take the border first, and then conquer the northern border in one fell swoop."

Liang Chongyue exposed her ambition without reservation. The Xiang family is her maternal family. If she were a man, the Xiang family would definitely use the whole family's strength to protect her to take the throne.

She had not anticipated Xiang Jingchuan's death. The situation was volatile and she had already found a way out for the Xiang family, but some things could not be said at this time.

She is deeply tied to the Xiang family. As long as something happens to her, all the glory and wealth of the Xiang family over the years will be lost. The Xiang family will not give up on her, and she has only one way to go, which is to win.

Xiang Huating paused for a moment, picked up the teapot and poured himself another cup of tea. He stared at Chongyue for a long while, and then he realized that for the first time he saw through this little niece who had been famous since childhood.

Liang Chongyue has been observing her second uncle's reaction. She doesn't believe that her second uncle will turn against her because of this, but she also understands that some things can never go back to the way they were before.

After drinking two cups of cold tea, Xiang Huating stood up and took out the secret letters sent by His Majesty. There were three letters in total and handed them all to Chongyue.

Liang Chongyue didn't understand what was going on, but as soon as he opened it, he realized that it was a handwritten secret letter from his scumbag father, with his personal seal at the end.

Xiang Hua Ting watched Chong Yue flipping through the emperor's handwritten letter, and thought of the worries he and his brother had felt during this period of time, and couldn't help but laugh bitterly:
