The real daughter died tragically and was reborn, and the whole family cried and begged for forgiven

After the army gathered, Duan Rongshi first paid his respects to Madam Pei, and then took Li Qingluo and Fangfang, mother and daughter, on horseback.

He protected his wife and daughter in front of him, then rode all the way and led thousands of troops into the city.

"My queen, share the kingdom with me—"

"She, Li Qingluo—also made an indelible contribution—"

"Without her, there would be no victory that lasted two years!"

"She—can also be called long live—"

The people and the army cheered together: "Long live the emperor - long live the queen -"

"Long live the princess, long live the princess, long live the princess—"

Fang Fang clapped his hands without any stage fright.

Li Qingluo also straightened his back and shared the joy and glory of victory with Duan Rongshi.

Mrs. Pei, who followed them into the city, kept wiping her eyes.

Seeing her good granddaughter receiving all the respect and honor she deserved, she felt not only happy but also deeply moved.

"It turns out that I was not wrong about him."

"I hope his true love will last forever... and he will never let her down, just like this country will never let them down."

The city of Mantuo was bustling with activity for the entire day.

It was not until nightfall that Duan Rongshi and Li Qingluo finally had some free time and some space of their own.

However, Fangfang was still sleeping nearby.

She has been relying on her father all day today.

Perhaps he felt very impressive, so he kept his father's armor on, and even Duan Rongshi never came down to handle military affairs.

So, Duan Rongshi also held her for almost the entire day.

He even fed her dinner himself.

Fangfang was very considerate today and ate whatever his father fed him.

If Li Qingluo hadn't noticed something was wrong and quickly had the food taken away, her belly would have burst.

I drank some digestive medicine and finally fell asleep.

Moreover, he would stay in his mother's room even when he was sleeping, with no intention of going down.

Li Qingluo let her do as she pleased.

Anyway, Duan Rongshi still wanted to take a few more glances at his beloved princess.

Even now, he was still standing in front of the bed, reluctant to look away, as if he wanted to make up for what he had missed in the past few months.

Li Qing fell to the side and said helplessly: "There will be plenty of time to study it slowly in the future."

"Come with me first."

Li Qingluo pulled Duan Rongshi to the low couch beside them.

Then he said, "Take off your clothes."

Duan Rongshi looked up at her and said, "Luo'er, are you... anxious?"

Seeing that he didn't understand, Li Qingluo simply went forward and undressed him herself.

"Yes, I am anxious."

"I need to check urgently to see if you've been injured anywhere in the past six months!"

When Li Qingluo saw that there was indeed a long new scar on his chest, tears rolled down her cheeks.

Not only here, there are other scars.

"you--"

Although he brought many trusted doctors with him, they really saved his life.

Li Qingluo was still trembling with heartache and fear.

"Where's the soft armor I gave you?"

"Why are you still hurt?"

"You are so unwilling to care about your own life, what do you want to do!?"

She wanted to punch him angrily, but couldn't bring herself to do it, so she punched the table beside her.

Duan Rongshi quickly covered her fist.

"Luo'er, it will hurt."

He said with helplessness but also a hint of happiness: "It's really just a minor injury."

"Your soft armor is very useful."

"But sometimes there are times when you are not prepared."

"If it weren't for your soft armor, there would have been times when I couldn't come back."

"Luo'er, you are my lucky star. Really, I miss you all the time. I just want to end this war quickly and return to you and Fangfang."

Li Qingluo sniffed and muffled his voice, "So, you signed peace terms with the Western Regions, and you're back now?"

Duan Rongshi touched her head and said, "The Marquis of Gudu is dead, the Luandi royal family is annihilated, and the Western Regions will not dare to have any ambitions towards our Central Plains for at least a hundred years."

"If I don't come back, we'll really have to attack Hara City."

"It will take at least two years for me to come back after this trip."

"After all, the mountains are high and the road is long, and the journey is difficult. We people from the Central Plains are not acclimatized to the climate in the Western Regions."

"Even if we conquer Hala City, how many of my 300,000 soldiers will be left?"

It was extremely difficult for the soldiers to overcome difficulties and enter the heart of the Western Regions.

Moreover, completely dismantling the Western Region Imperial Court is an achievement that has not been achieved in hundreds of years.

Duan Rongshi didn't want to attack and swallow up the entire continent.

He just wants peace in the world and tranquility in the world.

"It's not impossible to completely recapture the Western Regions, but we have to do it slowly and steadily."

"Now the alliance of the thirteen nations in the Western Regions has almost collapsed. They will never be able to accomplish anything again."

"Unless the Western Region cleanses itself and several smaller nations unite, there's still hope for a comeback."

"Now, at least we have defeated them and they will never become a threat again."

At that time, Gudu Hou returned to Hala City and wanted to regain power.

However, what awaited him was an assassination attempt by the peace advocates.

The Luandi family has ruled the Western Regions for three hundred years.

Now, since the people can no longer live a good life, it is time to step down.

After the tragic death of Marquis Gudu, the entire Western Region army became a mess.

The faction advocating peace talks quickly took control of the royal court and usurped the throne. The new king, Lan Hufeng, took the initiative to rush to the front line and advocated a ceasefire and peace talks.

At that time, Duan Rongshi had just captured and killed all the remaining sons of Gudu Hou.

Seeing this, the new king Lan Hufeng quickly took the initiative to bow and pay his respects to Duan Rongshi.

He also offered numerous conditions for peace talks, which made Duan Rongshi consider carefully for a long time.

"Every year, in addition to tens of thousands of cattle, sheep, horses, and camels, we also receive tens of thousands of pieces of gold, silver, and cloth."

"And slaves."

"And the princess of the royal family..."

Li Qingluo looked at the booklet until this point, then looked up at Duan Rongshi.

Duan Rongshi reached out and took it away.

"Took the wrong one."

"This is the one I discarded earlier."

“This one is new.”

Duan Rongshi did not agree to all of Lan Hufeng's peace terms.

He didn't want slaves.

I didn't ask for a princess to marry into another country.

Since the entire Luandi royal family has been destroyed, he can no longer pursue the humiliation of Princess Nanping by the Western Regions.

But the two countries no longer use women to consolidate peace.

Therefore, in addition to tribute, he only needed Hala City to submit to the Central Plains and become a vassal state immediately, just like other small countries in the Western Regions that were conquered by Duan Rongshi.

He did not annex the Western Regions.

But we will never allow the Western Regions and the Central Plains to be on equal footing again.

Lan Hufeng saw that if the Central Plains troops continued to fight like this, not to mention the vassal small countries, all of their small countries in the Western Regions would probably become part of Lanhai.

So, he could only grit his teeth and agree.

Then, both sides finally withdrew their troops together.

But now the territory of the Central Plains has expanded to a thousand miles outside the city of Mantuo.

The rest of the conquered territories were left undivided.

But the Western Regions did not dare to occupy it for the time being.

Both sides just left it at that, and were busy recuperating, and the war officially ceased from then on.

Li Qingluo was very happy when he saw the long pile of booklets about the vassal states in the Western Regions.

"Ashi, do we not have to fight anymore?"

"The soldiers can return to their farms, the people can live and work in peace, and everyone can live their own lives."

"Ashi, that's great."

"I finally understand why you agreed to be the emperor."

"Because only you can decide how far you will go to stop all this."

"You are working for the peace of the world! But I was only thinking about myself before. I was too narrow-minded."

"Duan Rongshi, you are my pride and my glory!"

Her eyes were shining, and she stood up and put her arms around his neck, her eyes full of admiration and love.

Duan Rongshi only felt his chest burning hot.

Hearing her heartfelt words, his calm heart beat faster and stronger.

"Luo'er, aren't you my pride?"

"You have governed Mantuo City very well."

"You have also handled the memorials and state affairs sent to us very properly."

"And the peace in the world today is also due to your contribution."

"If it weren't for your continuous supply of supplies in the rear, if it weren't for you stabilizing the country in the rear, if it weren't for you providing the strategy for the journey west, we wouldn't have won this victory so easily."

Li Qingluo compiled a book about the extreme weather, landforms, and even local customs and habits he would encounter on his journey westward, as well as the characteristics of those small countries.

In addition to letting Xuan Ce and Zhui Yu, who had been to the Western Regions, and a few Sha Zi accompany them along the way, her booklet really played a very important role along the way.

Because she was very careful and even recorded some small things.

Sometimes those little things can be of great help.

So on this trip, Duan Rongshi not only brought Pei Jia's Art of War, but also Li Qingluo's book on the Western Expedition Strategy.

Moreover, it was she who secretly instigated the rebellions of Loulan, Wusun and the Eagle Kingdom.

Duan Rongshi never concealed the great things Li Qingluo had done.

So now everyone in the army and even the whole world knows that the Queen of Da Chu is also an extraordinary woman with great talent and vision!

If it weren't for the queen, who knows how many innocent people in the Central Plains would have sacrificed their lives and shed their blood.

In addition, Generals Zhui Yu, Po Feng and Leng Dian promoted and supported Queen Li Qingluo, so Li Qingluo's reputation and prestige are really not low now.

It can be said that the people also loved this Queen of Chu who came from the mountains.

Duan Rongshi held her on his lap and gently embraced her: "You are the one who made an indispensable contribution to this great victory in the Western Regions!"

"Marrying a wife like you is the blessing of my life, Duan Rongshi."

"In the future, Lanhai Kingdom will be blessed to have a queen like you."

Li Qingluo: "Lanhai Country?"

"Are you planning to change the name of the country—"

Duan Rongshi lowered his head and blocked the way.

"Hush—tomorrow."

"It's time for us to reminisce about the past."

You know, after being away for several months, he almost became a monk.

I often miss her so much that I can't sleep at night, and I won't let her go easily tonight.

However, before the two of them even took off their clothes, Fangfang sat up on the bed, rubbed his eyes, looked at them sleepily, and called out, "Daddy?"

"Auntie——"
