Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 249

Since Shen Lingjun "lost her husband", Shen Wei has forbidden people around her from calling her "Madam" and instead calls her "Miss Shen the Third" from when she was a young girl. He completely erases the existence of Qin Shaoze and does not acknowledge her as Qin Shaoze's widow.

Shen Lingjun anticipated that with the added power of the improved explosives, the outcome of this battle would certainly be good, but upon hearing the result, she was still filled with mixed joy and surprise.

"How did the game go?"

The soldier grinned and said, "I heard from the battle report that just came back that the Western Qi army was utterly defeated by us, suffering heavy casualties, and probably less than half of them are left! They are now fleeing into Western Qi territory, and Marshal Shen is pursuing them in pursuit!"

Shen Lingjun breathed a long sigh of relief: "I'll go down right away!"

The battle was so fierce that the Western Qi army suffered heavy casualties. Even if they won, they certainly wouldn't be without losses. It was time for her to get busy again.

By this time, the wounded soldiers from the front lines had been brought back one after another.

After rescuing the most critically wounded soldiers, Shen Lingjun led a group of military doctors to the battlefield to search for soldiers who were stranded elsewhere and unable to return due to serious injuries. They tried to save as many as they could on the spot.

When she arrived on the battlefield, she saw just how cruel and brutal the war was.

The destructive power of the improved explosives was so great that the battlefield became a scene that even the words "hell on earth" could not adequately describe.

Countless corpses, blown to pieces, lay piled on the snowfield, still burning, turning the white expanse of snow a charred crimson. Everywhere were broken remains, limbs and even chunks of flesh so mangled they were unrecognizable.

The liver and marrow flowed out of the field, a truly horrific tragedy.

Shen Lingjun's heart clenched as she watched.

The only thing that comforted her was that the number of corpses of the Western Qi soldiers was far greater than that of the Northern Yi soldiers.

Judging from the current battle situation, the Western Qi army has indeed suffered extremely heavy casualties.

Shen Lingjun walked several miles northwest from the battlefield and encountered many Northern Yi soldiers lying in the snow, but they were all corpses that had long since lost all life and were gradually being covered by the heavy snow.

It was impossible to transport the bodies of these victims back, so Shen Lingjun simply followed the Northern Yi army's custom and removed their name tags, which would be sent back together later.

As she rounded a hillside, she heard in the distance the sounds of fierce clashing of swords and a terrified voice.

"...Who exactly are you?!"

Shen Lingjun looked out from behind a grove of trees and saw a man dressed in the uniform of a marshal of the Western Qi Dynasty fighting desperately in the snow.

The other person, clad in silver armor and black robes, wielding a long sword, was none other than Mo Zhonggui.

With a swift and skillful flick of his sword, Mo Chonggui sent the spear in the hands of the Western Qi Marshal flying several feet away, where it landed heavily in the snow.

Marshal Xiqi trembled all over, unarmed, and staggered backward. Mo Chonggui slashed his sword horizontally at his knees, and as two streams of blood gushed out and fell onto the snow, Marshal Xiqi knelt down with a thud.

Mo Chonggui stood in front of him, took off her helmet, and revealed her stunningly beautiful face.

"Do you recognize me now?"

Marshal Xiqi looked up at him, slowly opening his eyes wide, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"You...you are..."

Mo Zhonggui laughed: "Didn't expect I'd still be alive, did you?"
