After the violent energy explosion, a bloody wasteland was left behind, with not a single body or a single weapon remaining.
Ji Wen was frightened by this dilapidated place. All the light energy in his body was used to resist the explosion, like a god who fell into the world and lost his light.
Hao Rining and Hao Yuexing came to help Ji Wen up. They had already killed all the nearby imperial soldiers.
"Mother, are we winning this war?" Hao Rining asked tentatively.
"Yes, Ri Ning, we won."
There was no smile on Ji Wen's face, her eyes were bloodshot, and then, slowly, slowly, she closed her eyes.
The news of Ying He's death in battle spread to the Imperial warriors for some reason, and they immediately began to think of retreating. Following the Bladeless Kingdom's final counterattack, they fled in all directions, intending to return to the Empire's territory.
There seems to be no real outcome in this war. Nearly 300,000 soldiers of the Bladeless Kingdom were killed or seriously injured. It can be said that there are no soldiers in the country who can be mobilized directly. The rest are just a group of expedited soldiers. Conscripted civilians and poorly trained recruits.
None of the five members of the Qin family in Fengya City joined the battle, but Mr. Guo and the high-ranking father and son in Fengya City were all recruited. After the war, they all came back.
Upon hearing the news of their return, the five people hurried out of the city and welcomed them with the people.
However, seeing them come back, the smiles on people's faces disappeared. Fengya City mobilized more than 14,000 people to participate in the war, but only a few thousand came back.
Qin Feng still didn't understand the concept of this number. He only had his good friend Gao Guo in his heart. He was very confused when he saw Jing Ru looking sad, and not only Jing Ru, but others as well.
So Qin Feng asked: "Qin Zhuo, what's wrong with them?"
"Because, die!"
Qin Feng looked at the returning soldiers again, and at this time, he actually said: "Mr. Guo is back too."
He led a few of them and ran towards Mr. Guo, and the people also ran over.
As the distance gradually shortened, a foul smell entered Qin Feng's nose. It was the smell of the enemy's blood that had long solidified. The armor on their bodies was even more tattered, and there were many people missing arms and legs.
Qin Feng was stunned by the smell and appearance, but when he suddenly saw the high-ranking wife next to Mr. Guo, these worries were forgotten.
Qin Jingru spoke first: "Mr. Guo, are you okay?"
After all, Mr. Guo is a strong man. Although he has a few more scars, at least his whole body is intact. However, the Bingheng Sword in his hand is broken.
Mr. Guo said slowly: "This battle is finally won."
They chatted for a few more words and then returned to the city. The people did not decorate with lanterns and decorations because of the victory, but more of the scene of cranes complaining and apes crowing.
"City Lord Qin, how do you appease those lonely people?"
"I don't know what to do. I can only distribute the food and money in the inventory to stabilize it."
At this time, Qin Feng suddenly asked: "City Lord Gao, where has brother Gao Guo gone?"
As if he had already seen something, he lowered his head.
"Gao Guo also died in the battle."
This news was like a sharp sword piercing Qin Feng's heart. Gao Guo was Qin Feng's first good friend besides his own family. Although they had not known each other for a long time, their relationship had reached the point of being like brothers.
Qin Feng burst into tears immediately, but did not stop him. He just asked the other three people to take him back.
"Hey, after all, I am getting old. I have seen many separations between life and death. Even if I lose my own flesh and blood, I will try to hide my grief. I will no longer cry like a child. How can someone mourn like this? , it’s no regrets.”
"City Lord Gao, please express my condolences."
In King Qin's city, Qin Guan also welcomed the returning team. He stayed behind for this battle. As soon as he saw the returning Qin Mo, he heard the sad news.
Qin Mo said: "Eldest brother, the fourth brother died in the battle."
The fourth brother Qin Mo was talking about was Qin Ge, who was also Qin Feng's father. Sacrifice on the battlefield was an inevitable thing, but Qin Mo's tone was angry. Obviously, Qin Ge's death was another Something is fishy.
After Qin Guan heard this, he was very sad, and then he heard something behind his words, and asked quickly: "Qin Mo, was the fourth brother killed by someone?"
"It was someone from the Wang family who designed and killed the fourth brother."
"What, people from the Wang family, please tell me what's going on."
"A week ago, news came from the army that the dark demon king of the empire had been defeated. Morale immediately increased greatly, and the empire was retreating steadily. But after all, they only lost their leader, and their combat power did not decrease. The Wang family and the fourth brother In the same army, they were ordered to chase, but they chased them to a closed canyon. They knew that this was a dead end and the imperial troops had to come out, so the Wang family took away most of the troops on the pretext of pursuit, but when the imperial troops When the soldiers were fighting each other to the death, they didn't come. It wasn't until I went to add more troops that he brought the troops out and lied about getting lost in the canyon. It was at that time that the fourth brother died in battle."
"Damn it, the Wang family is simply nothing. They actually brought the hatred between the two families to the battlefield. I must tell my father about this quickly. I can't let them act recklessly like this again. Now after the war, the strength of the Bladeless Kingdom has dropped significantly. The Wang family I don’t know what the old guy has done recently. If this trend continues, he will definitely rebel."
"By the way, send someone to bring Qin Jingru and the others back quickly. Now that the situation is stable, the Wang family may take action against them."
"I'll leave the military affairs to you first. I'm going to ask my father how to deal with it."
"Let nature take its course! Qin Guan, it is no longer time for the Wang family to shake its position with just one Qin county. If you want to live in peace, negotiate peace with the Wang family and let Wang Ru go. If you can't bear it, With this tone, I will go to the royal capital to report it, but there is a high chance that they will not do anything."
"But father, are you just going to watch Wang Aldehyde destroy the Bladeless Kingdom?"
Qin He forced a smile and said: "Whether it's you, Wang Gui, or Wang Aldehyde, we are all from the Bladeless Kingdom. We may each have our own selfish desires, but after all, everything you do is for Wuren Kingdom, if Wang Al sits on the throne of the royal capital, Wuren Kingdom can develop better because of this, why should we care about his character?"
"Cough cough cough". After a series of coughs, Qin He continued: "Do you remember what I told you about Qin Feng?"
"Remember, father, but now that my fourth brother is dead in the battle and my fourth sister Luo Shan is forced to be imprisoned, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve anything great. Qin Feng's performance is mediocre, and I still don't notice anything extraordinary about him."
"Qin Guan, everyone is born as an ordinary person. There is no difference between you and me, but everyone's experience is different. They grow through experience. If they live a safe life, they will not achieve anything."
After hearing this, Qin Guan slowly lowered his head and said, "I know, father." Then he turned around and left. Suddenly, he remembered something again. He looked at the bowl of soup placed beside Qin He's bed and said, " You have to drink the medicine on time, it will be more bitter when it is cold."
Qin Guan left the house, looked up to the sky, sighed, and murmured: "If I can really live a normal life." Qin Guan suddenly smiled bitterly, "What a luxurious wish."
In Fengya City, several members of the Qin family were helping to comfort the people. The population had dropped sharply, and the teahouses and hotels that were doing business were closed. Because this battle was too huge, many remains were not brought back, and the streets were full of people. They were mourning people, and most of them were old people and children.
Seeing this, Qin Feng, who had not recovered at all, started to cry. Qin Jingru ignored him and distributed food and forging stones with Mr. Guo, but this did not have any effect.
As we walked, the lights in the distance merged with the darkness, and deathly silence and heartache were mixed together. Looking around, we saw that there were still many people who had not received relief.
At this moment, a guard arrived on horseback. He told Jingru that Qin Mo had brought people to Fengya City to see Qin Jingru.
Qin Jingru asked doubtfully: "Is there anything urgent that we need to complete?"
"The guards of Qin Mo County want to see you immediately and seem to want to take you back to Qin County City."
"What, didn't father say that we should practice hard with Mr. Guo? Why do you want us to go back now?" Qin Jingru was very puzzled, but she still did as she asked. She handed over the task to Gao You and then He left in a hurry with a few people.
Several people rushed to the city lord's mansion, only to see heavily armed soldiers standing neatly in the courtyard. The small courtyard was filled with soldiers.
Qin Mo stood outside the city lord's palace and looked at the destroyed gate. It was not difficult to think that a battle had taken place here. He had already thought of various miserable scenes in his mind. The faces of the five people had some scars. .
When Qin Jingru and the others stood at the door, seeing their disgraced faces was the best outcome. At least they didn't leave any scars on their faces.
"Uncle Qin Mo, why are you in such a hurry to take us back? Didn't father want us to practice with Mr. Guo?"
"Your father was worried that the former group of bandits would come back for revenge, so he quickly sent me to pick you up."
This argument is very unreasonable. After all, if they were really worried about this problem, they would have taken them back before the war started, not to mention that their father had written a letter asking them to stay in Fengya City.
Although Jingru knew there was another reason, she was still willing to believe her father, but she was worried about the people of Fengya City.
Qin Jingru asked, "When will we set off?"
"The sooner the better, if possible."
"Then let's go clean it up."
Just as Qin Jingru turned her head, Qin Mo stopped her again and asked the others to go first.
Qin Mo told her in a low voice: "Qin Feng's father died in this war."
"What~" Qin Jingru was about to shout, but Qin Mo covered his mouth. When he saw that no one else heard him, he let go.
"Uncle Qin Mo, do you want me to keep it a secret? Why did you tell me?"
Qin Mo sighed deeply and said, "I just want you to find an opportunity to tell Qin Feng that this matter cannot be hidden."
"But Qin Feng just lost a good friend. If I tell him about it again, I'm afraid he won't be able to bear it."
"So I need you to tell me. After all, you have more contact with each other, and you know him better than I do."
Qin Jingru said regretfully: "Okay, I'll try. If it doesn't work, just keep hiding it from him."
