You died to save me, I promise you a lifetime

Zhao Jingchen looked at him disdainfully.

"Why can't I be here? Not only am I here, I also went to the south and asked Emperor Nansang to pay compensation and beg for mercy."

He glanced in the direction of Dongli and said, "Next, it's your turn, Dongli.

You, a defeated general of mine in the past, instead of keeping a low profile, dare to come to the border to provoke me. You are simply courting death.

I will hang your head on the wall of your Dongli capital, so that you Dongli people can see the consequences of daring to invade my Great Yan."

At this moment, Yuan Che no longer had the bloodiness of the past.

"Please don't kill me, I have old people and children at home..."

Before he could finish, Zhao Jingchen interrupted him, "Don't those soldiers who died on the battlefield have elderly and children at home?

They chose to join the army to support their families, but because you launched wars at will, they had no choice but to go to the battlefield and die on it."

"I was just following orders..." Yuan Che wanted to beg for mercy.

Zhao Jingchen lost his patience and ordered, "Chop him off!"

Just as Long Yi was about to make a move, An Bei shouted, "Wait a minute, let me do it!"

He walked forward and without a word, raised his sword and cut off Yuan Che's head.

Long Er raised his sword and cut off Yuan Che's inner clothes, wrapped his head and hung it on his body.

After the matter was settled, General Zhu and other generals came forward to see Zhao Jingchen.

He quickly raised his hand to stop them: "Everyone has worked hard, let's go back to the camp first!"

General Zhu took a few steps, then turned back and quietly gave a few instructions to the soldiers.

The soldiers dispersed to search the Dongli people for silver and happily put it into their pockets.

Zhao Jingchen saw this and raised his eyebrows to look at Rong Chunlin, "What's going on?"

Rong Chunlin explained with a smile: "In the morning, I took my brothers to attack Yuan Che's camp and burned their food and tents.

At that time, I was concerned about the war and was afraid that General Zhu and his men would suffer losses. I saw the silver but didn't have the energy to take it away. I thought of waiting until there was no silver left to take it back and distribute it to my brothers. I didn't expect Yuan Che to be even greedier than me.

Halfway through the battle, he saw he couldn't gain any advantage, so he retreated to the camp to find the silver and divide it up. It was precisely because of their greed that we bought time to intercept them."

Zhao Jingchen nodded and turned a blind eye to the soldiers' body searches for silver, pretending not to see it.

The military tent of the Great Yan commander.

General Zhu and a group of generals saluted Zhao Jingchen.

"Your Majesty, I am honored to see you!"

Zhao Jingchen looked at them one by one, and saw many familiar faces. He nodded happily: "Well, everyone has worked hard. I haven't seen you for many years. It's great to see that you are all well!"

After reminiscing for a while, Zhao Jingchen pointed at Mu Yunge and An Bei and introduced them to everyone.

General Zhu and his fellow generals saluted in unison: "We greet the young princess and Miss Mu!"

This was not the first time that An Bei heard the soldiers call her the little princess. She did not correct them but stepped forward and helped everyone up one by one.

"Grandma asked me to say hello to you all. Thank you for your hard work!"

The generals came forward to ask about the princess's well-being and condition.

An Bei answered them one by one with a smile.

"Thank you for your concern. Although grandma is old, she is still strong. If she hadn't had to stay in the capital, she would have come here with us to visit everyone."

The eldest princess visited here again when she was looking for the lost little princess.

When the generals heard that the princess was still concerned about them, they could not calm down for a long time.

Seeing that everyone was too excited, Zhao Jingchen smiled and said, "There's a bonfire outside. Let's go out and join in the fun and have something to eat."

The generals walked out chatting and laughing.

Zhao Jingchen and others, accompanied by Rong Chunlin and General Zhu, came to the campfire, ate barbecue, and chatted about all sorts of things.

During the chat, Zhao Jingchen used the dagger he carried with him to cut the meat into thin slices and quietly handed them to Mu Yunge and An Bei.

Shang Jue also diligently served fruit wine and other food to the two of them, taking good care of them.

Even Xu Mingtao diligently served food to the girls in the women's team.

Rong Chunlin saw this and quietly pulled Li Mingzhao aside: "What's going on?"

"Are you stupid? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that it's no secret that the master is attracted to Miss Mu. As for Shang Jue, he is attracted to An Bei."

He glanced at the girls who were laughing and making a fuss with a sad look and said, "Humph, you little bitch, you actually ignored me."

Rong Chunlin glanced at Xu Mingtao who was sitting next to the girls and chatting and laughing with them.

"What about him? Why is he clinging to those little girls?"

Li Mingzhao curled his lips in disappointment.

"He shamelessly went to Miss Mu before going to bed last night and said he wanted to marry An Su, the poison master. Miss Mu didn't object and said it depends on his performance. So, that's it."

"Oh, this is a clear path, no wonder."

"No wonder what's so strange? Hasn't the marriage proposal been made yet?"

Rong Chunlin looked at him strangely, "Why do you look like a resentful woman? Are you also attracted to Miss An Su?"

Li Mingzhao immediately got furious. "Don't talk nonsense. When did I ever fall in love with her?"

"Then what are you looking at over there?"

"Am I looking at her when I look over there? She's not the only one over there. Besides, look at those generals, I'm not the only one looking over there.

When we were in the south, many generals threatened to propose marriage to Miss Mu when they returned to the capital."

Rong Chunlin glanced at the girls with interest. "I didn't expect that they would become so popular after just one outing."

"Really? I've already reminded the brothers in our palace that if you find someone you like, you should act quickly and proactively. Otherwise, when someone comes to propose marriage, it will be too late to regret it."

"Which one do you like?"

Li Mingzhao, however, managed to close his mouth in time and angrily bit the barbecue in his hand.

Seeing him sulking, Rong Chunlin changed the subject, "How come you came at such a coincidence today? I was just worried that I couldn't stop Yuan Che, and then you came."

When it came to business, Li Mingzhao immediately returned to normal.

"According to our previous schedule, we won't arrive until evening.

Fortunately, when we set out in the morning, the master ordered us to speed up our journey, saying that we had to reach the camp before dark, fearing that arriving at night would cause trouble for everyone. The master was wise.

If only this battle had started a day later, we could have had a good fight with the Dongli people and let them know how powerful we are."

Rong Chunlin shook his head and said, "It's been raining here for several days straight. Yuan Che can't wait to die. By the way, why are the Princess's Black Armor Guards here too?"

"The princess was worried about Anbei and the others' safety, so she assigned five hundred black-armored guards to protect them.

Of course, besides wanting to protect Anbei and the others, she also definitely wants to contribute to quelling the war."

Everyone knows the grudge between the eldest princess and Dong Li, and this time Dong Li must be taught a severe lesson.

Seeing that Mu Yunge and An Bei had eaten and drunk their fill, they went to play with the sisters in the women's team.

Rong Chunlin sat down next to Zhao Jingchen and Shang Jue and asked softly, "Should we go to Dongli for a stroll tomorrow?"

"Of course I will go, but not tomorrow. I have more important things to do tomorrow..."
