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

Chapter 251

Shen Lingjun felt as if thousands or tens of thousands of years had passed. Her whole body felt frozen by the severe cold, as if it were completely out of her control, and she could not feel the existence of her body.

In the end, Mo Zhonggui put the sword down.

He didn't look at Shen Lingjun again, and without saying a word, he turned and left.

Shen Lingjun remained frozen in place until Mo Zhonggui's figure completely disappeared into the white snow in the distance and vanished from her sight. Only then did she relax as if her whole body had thawed.

She bent down and touched her neck.

I got a small cut, but it's cold now and the wound has frozen shut and stopped bleeding, so it's not a big problem.

Shen Lingjun took out a band-aid from her spatial storage and stuck it on the wound on her neck. This was something left behind by Liu Manman from her world, and Shen Lingjun found it quite useful for small wounds.

She straightened up and went forward to pick up the golden helmet of the Western Qi Marshal, which had been split in two.

Taking this back would be a great achievement. Although Mo Chonggui personally killed the Western Qi Marshal, Shen Lingjun felt that he didn't seem like the type to want this credit at all.

Take it back first. If Mo Zhonggui doesn't want it, give it to Shen Wei. It's quite important to Shen Wei.

Carrying the golden battle helmet, Shen Lingjun slowly walked back, still feeling lingering fear.

As he walked, he recalled what Mo Chonggui had just said to Marshal Xiqi.

She had always wanted to know why Mo Zhonggui hated her, but she knew nothing about Mo Zhonggui's background and had no way of investigating.

Just now, Mo Zhonggui's words revealed a considerable amount of information.

First and foremost, it was his mother.

According to him, his mother was actually the former marshal of the Western Qi Dynasty and commanded an army called the Qingluan Army.

However, Shen Lingjun had never heard of a female marshal in the Western Qi Dynasty many years ago.

Shen Wei had fought against the Western Qi for many years and had studied the history of the Western Qi. Shen Lingjun had also read the history books of the Western Qi in his study before. However, the books only mentioned the current marshal of the Western Qi. The history before that, about fifteen years ago, was rather brief and vague, and felt incomplete.

Of course, falsifying history is a common occurrence in every dynasty and every era. Historical records are not entirely reliable, and perhaps the true history has been concealed.

From Mo Chonggui's words, we can also learn that his mother was betrayed by the Western Qi Marshal, and what she suffered was far more than that.

His mother wasn't the only victim; it could have been the annihilation of an entire Qingluan Army, just like the 30,000-strong Shen family army that was wiped out in Feichi Valley.

The hatred of the Western Qi Marshal may only account for a small part of Mo Chonggui's hatred, just the tip of the iceberg.

Otherwise, after killing the Western Qi marshal and avenging his great grudge, he should have felt relieved and happy, instead of remaining in the state he is in now.

As Shen Lingjun pondered, he returned to the military camp on Tenghu Mountain.

At this time, the Shen family army, which had gone to pursue the remnants of the Western Qi army, had already returned in triumph and was counting the number of enemies killed and the spoils of war. The military camp was filled with a jubilant and enthusiastic atmosphere.

"In this battle, we annihilated at least 40,000 Western Qi soldiers! Countless others were wounded!"

"The Western Qi army has suffered heavy losses this time, and they certainly won't be attacking again anytime soon!"

"It's not just a short time! Once they withdraw, I predict they won't have the strength to launch another attack this year!"

"Thanks to Marshal Shen! And thanks to Miss Shen for the provisions! And to Chief Eunuch Mo for the weapons!..."

As Shen Lingjun entered, Shen Wei happened to turn around and see her. He laughed loudly, "Come on, my daughter has also made a great contribution this time. Come and have a few bowls with us first!"

As he spoke, he looked down and saw the golden battle helmet in Shen Lingjun's hand, and was taken aback.
