Marry my elder sister? Fine! I'll give you the letter of annulment and marry someone else.

When Song Zhi's heart skipped a beat when he saw the contents of the letter.

I finally found Huanpei, it was worth the long wait.

This means that Mu Nanqi's life experience will soon be revealed.

She was a little excited and expectant, and really wanted to see the face of the dog emperor when he knew the truth.

She will definitely be waiting with some melon seeds in her pocket.

The situation at the border has stabilized. She calculated that there are only two months left before the wedding, so it is time to go back and prepare.

It's time to return to Beijing.

So the next day, she found Aunt Xin to explain the situation.

Xin Wanyun naturally supported her, "Go back with peace of mind, I'm here."

Xie Ting was reluctant to leave, "How about I go to the capital with you, Boss? I can even drink in your wedding wine."

Song Zhi said calmly, "Aren't you afraid that Meng Qi will make great contributions while you're away and be promoted to deputy general before you?"

Xie Ting immediately took a step back. "I've thought about it carefully. How can attending a wedding banquet be more important than staying here to serve General Xin? General Xin, please give me your orders from now on. Don't be soft-hearted."

Xin Wanyun said bluntly, "Then you can lead the patrol today. It will give Meng Qi a chance to rest."

Xie Ting said respectfully, "Okay, General Xin, I'll go right away."

Watching Xie Ting walk away, Xin Wanyun smiled and shook his head.

She intends to promote Xie Ting and Meng Qi, as this kind of healthy competition is good.

Song Zhi and she discussed the follow-up arrangements in detail and decided to continue moving forward quietly after Song Zhi left. It would be best to capture a few more cities while the Dog Emperor was completely absorbed in Mu Nanqi's life experience and unable to take care of other things.

The relationship with the State of Li has been too stable for so many years, so they don't pay much attention here.

Before leaving, she asked the fat city lord to give her the imperial edict to increase taxes, as well as the spies caught in the city, all of which she was ready to take back with her.

After packing her things, she asked the secret guard to accompany her back to Beijing that day.

It was still a boring journey, but this time there were more prisoners. When Song Zhi stopped to rest, he would sit in front of them and ask them questions.

At first they refused to give in and said nothing. She tried every possible way to coerce and bribe them, and finally got the answer when they were about to collapse.

They were indeed Mu Yuanzhi's spies planted there, and they would notify him immediately if anything went wrong.

Song Zhi had a plan in mind and stopped wasting time on these people.

As we got closer to the capital, more and more rumors about the northern border appeared.

It turned out that after they went south, the dog emperor quickly sent people there to support them. Unfortunately, when the reinforcements arrived there, they only found deserted tents and a lonely general's tomb facing the capital.

They searched the entire mountain but did not find a single soldier. Finally, they followed the route of the mountain torrent downstream and found bodies lying all over the place.

These were the corpses of Huang Bing's 30,000 men. Song Zhi deliberately asked Xie Ting and others to throw them in to confuse outsiders.

The rocks and branches in the mountains were extremely sharp, and many of the bodies of those people could not be found. Those that were found were so covered in wounds that it was impossible to identify the arrow wounds.

Although it was very strange that 300,000 people disappeared, everyone knew that it was impossible for anyone to survive with their stored supplies in the mountains that had been covered with snow for two months.

Even General Feng's tomb is there.

The general who came to investigate finally concluded that part of the 300,000 troops must have deserted, part was frozen to death, and their bodies were eaten by wild beasts in the mountains, so no remains were left.

The last group of people who managed to survive were killed by mountain floods.

In short, it’s just one word: miserable.

When the emperor learned about this, he was furious. He smashed more than a dozen glass bottles, but still could not save the lives of hundreds of thousands of people.

The western border cannot be unguarded. They have to fill the holes there quickly while Wei State is still unaware of this, otherwise those barbarians will rush here like hungry dogs smelling meat buns.

But it was impossible to gather so many soldiers at once. The emperor was anxious and had no choice but to send 100,000 of his own cavalry.

He now deeply regrets his inaction. If he had taken this matter seriously from the beginning, it would not have developed like this.

A full 300,000-strong army was gone just like that.

He lay dejectedly on the chair, feeling extremely tired.

However, before he could recover from the heavy loss, Eunuch Li suddenly walked in from outside in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, Lord Song requests an audience."

Eunuch Li, who has been accompanying the emperor for a long time, has long mastered the skill of remaining calm in the face of praise or criticism. Even the emperor has not seen him show this expression for many years.

But today, Eunuch Li was so panicked that his whisk was messed up and he almost tripped over the threshold.

The emperor frowned in displeasure, "You really are becoming more and more retarded the more you serve. It's just that Minister Song wants to see you, why are you so flustered?!"

Eunuch Li also knew that he was being too impetuous. He calmed his breath before saying, "Your Majesty, not only has Lord Song come, but Lord Song has also brought someone with him."

"Who?"

"Huanpei."

The emperor's body trembled slightly, and he stood up from his chair with a gleam of disbelief in his eyes, "Who are you talking about!"

"Your Majesty, it's the ring pendant that was used to deliver the late queen."

The emperor's face was full of astonishment, and his originally calm expression seemed to be frozen at this moment. He heard himself asking questions in a trembling voice.

"She...didn't she die a long time ago?"

Any person or thing related to the late queen, no matter how trivial, can affect his emotions to the greatest extent.

"Your Majesty, she is not dead, but she was almost killed by someone."

Eunuch Li carefully observed the emperor's expression and said cautiously, "How about I bring them in first?"

"Okay, go, go quickly."

The emperor tried his best to hold his breath, but he was hoping in his heart that if Huanpei could come back to life, then maybe the woman who was as bright as the moon in the sky was not dead either.

He stared at the door, his eyes full of fantasy suddenly becoming silent when he saw there were only two figures.

Yes, he watched her being buried and closed the coffin with his own hands.

That godlike woman had long since left him completely.

If she knew that his momentary lapse of judgment had killed nearly 300,000 soldiers, she would definitely be disappointed.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty."

Huanpei was a plump lady with ordinary looks. She wore thick cotton clothes, her temples were already gray, and the wrinkles on her face were as deep as ravines.

As soon as he entered the hall, he knelt down.

She looked sad and tears were streaming down her face.

The emperor had calmed down by now. He regained his usual expression and asked coldly, "What crime have you committed?"
