The princess is so powerful that the fish pond is full of people

Chapter 397 Returning to Beijing with the Corpse

When Liang Chongyue rushed back to the commander's tent, mutton soup was still boiling in the small pot in the middle. As soon as he entered, Liang Chongyue smelled a strong fishy odor.

"I'm back, come and have some soup."

Liang Chongyue felt unreal when she saw her two uncles waving at her and motioning her to drink the soup as if nothing had happened.

"Uncle, I..."

When Xiang Huayan heard Chongyue's tone pause, he knew what she was going to say.

"It's not your fault that things have come to this. Chongyue played an indispensable role in the army's ability to capture the northern garrison so quickly."

Liang Chongyue stood there, noticing his uncle's red eyes, and didn't know what to say. Putting himself in his uncle's shoes, he must be the one suffering the most at this moment.

"It's okay, come and have some soup."

Hearing his second uncle's still gentle words, Liang Chongyue took a step forward and approached his two uncles.

When Liang Chongyue was helping her uncle serve soup, she saw tears on the back of her uncle's hand that he had just wiped away when he turned his back.

This mutton soup was obtained by the sacrifice of tens of thousands of soldiers, and was cooked by the famous chef sent to her by her scumbag father. Liang Chongyue had no idea how to taste it, and the more she drank, the more bitter it became in her mouth.

Liang Chongyue sat at the table, opposite her two uncles who had always loved her. Liang Chongyue ate and drank half a bowl of mutton soup and then put down the bowl in her hand.

Seeing her like this, Xiang Huayan and Xiang Huating looked at each other and then put down the mutton soup in their hands.

Liang Chongyue thought deeply about what she had done and the plans she had completed over the years. She had used many people.

But the Xiang family is a warm place just like her mother's Yiku Palace. Liang Chongyue didn't want their relationship to continue to become strained because of Xiang Jingchuan's death. She wanted to be the one to break the ice.

Liang Chongyue was about to speak when he was interrupted by his uncle:

"Chongyue, Jingchuan's death has nothing to do with you, and the relationship between you and the Xiang family will not change because of this. There is no need to cling to the past. You still have a long way to go."

"As for Jingchuan's body, please take it back and let his mother take a look at it before burying it."

Liang Chongyue had already forgotten how he finished the meal. After leaving the commander's tent, he looked up at the full moon. The stars had dimmed a lot.

"Host, don't think about it. Go back and check if the things are packed. It will be dawn soon and we will have to go back to Beijing. I don't know how to explain this to my scumbag father."

The system sat next to Liang Chongyue, sighing as it spoke, its mind full of the scumbag father's angry look. It didn't know how the host could face the scumbag father when he returned to make him calm down.

Liang Chongyue already had an idea in her mind. Her scumbag father would not kill her. After this trip, she also saw through many things.

On the way back to Beijing, it happened to be snowing heavily. The horse's hooves were stepping deep and shallow in the snow, which was extremely unstable. Liang Chongyue also got off the horse and led the horse forward all the way.

"Host, this snow is going to fall all the way. If we keep going at this speed, we might be able to reach the capital by the beginning of spring."

The system's appearance and flesh are fake, it is just a string of data. As long as it turns off its senses, the heavy snow will have little effect on it.

Liang Chongyue had no time to care about the heavy snow at this time, and could only walk the road ahead step by step.

"Puppy, go check for me if there is any way to slow down the decay of Xiang Jingchuan's body."

There are no coffins at the border, and in the distant villages, any family that has coffins prepares them for the elderly in their family.

Liang Chongyue carried the person on his horse's back all the way. Fortunately, the temperature was extremely low in the heavy snow, which slowed down the decay of the body, but this was not a long-term solution.

There were more than a hundred people in their group, and they couldn't move fast. Even though the temperature was low now, by the time they reached the capital, they would have been rotten beyond recognition.

"Host, there is this kind of thing in the mall, but it's a bit expensive, even more expensive than the Hundred Poisons Invulnerability Pill."

Liang Chongyue frowned slightly. She knew that if the system said something was expensive, it must be very expensive.

"When I read it before, wasn't there a poison that would keep the body in its original state for a long time after taking it?"

The person is already dead, so it doesn't matter whether he takes the poison or not, and it can also save some luck. Liang Chongyue remembers that the poison doesn't require much luck to buy.

"Host, that's for living people. The poison needs to flow through the blood and into the whole body to ensure that the body will not decay for a period of time. Xiang Jingchuan has been hard for at least ten hours. How can this poison pass through the blood?"

Upon hearing this, Liang Chongyue directly bought the golden elixir that the system had just said was expensive, and stuffed it into Xiang Jingchuan's mouth. Although there was no difference on his face, Liang Chongyue could feel when he reached out and touched it that Xiang Jingchuan's body was not as stiff as before.

The system glanced at the balance in the host's account and had no choice but to pretend that it didn't see it.

But when it thought about how frugal it usually was and how it had to think twice before buying even a large bone, while the host spent money on dozens of bones without blinking an eye, it felt inexplicably aggrieved.

Seeing that the host's attention was all on the road, the system was unhappy and could only take a few bites of Xiang Jingchuan's body in a place where the host couldn't see. Anyway, the person was dead and had no sense of pain.

Liang Chongyue led the team on a journey for three consecutive days, moving at a snail's pace compared to when they came. After waiting for a long time for the snow to stop, Liang Chongyue finally led his men to the nearest village.

Sitting on the chairs with missing arms and legs, Liang Chongyue felt a little warmer, protected from the snow and the cold wind.

Drinking hot water and looking at the poorly dressed children in the host's house, Liang Chongyue took out a handful of silver from his sleeve and placed it on the cracked table:

"Go buy some winter clothes for the children. If we win the war, we'll have a good New Year."

Liang Chongyue put down a handful of silver coins, and soon a pair of old hands trembled and took the silver.

"Host, would you like to give me some more? I just went out and saw that the rice jar in this family's house was empty."

The system wanted to go out to find something to eat, but found that the house was empty and even the mice were pitifully skinny.

The system believed that if it wasn't snowing outside, it probably wouldn't even see a mouse.

Liang Chongyue reached out and rubbed the system's dirty head:

"This village has few people and is close to the border. If we give them too much, they might not be able to stay."

The silver coins Liang Chongyue gave were all specially found loose change. Although it didn't look much, it was several dozen taels, which was enough for them to use for several years in this place.

"After the border is taken, the lives of the people here will also improve. Once they can get through this winter, they will have a good life in the future."

Liang Chongyue looked at the map on the panel, calculating the speed and time. There was still a month left before the New Year, and she had to go back before the New Year.

Liang Chongyue was just thinking about it when Ping'an walked in from outside, feeling cold.
