Liu Chenggang didn't say anything. He thought of the defeat of Sanyuan Pass three years ago.
That battle was also incredible. Thinking about it now, it still feels like a dream.
And today, Qi's victory, isn't that true?
Liu Chenggang raised his head and looked at the sky and said: "The changes in the battle situation are far less unpredictable than the wind and clouds."
Qi Hengyuan stood with his hands behind his back, his robes fluttering in the wind. He said calmly: "No matter what the means, victory is victory."
He turned back again, looked at the entire Sanyuan Pass, and said in his heart: "Brother Imperial, this is the second battle. Sanyuan Pass has been recovered. Don't worry, the remaining seven passes and seven cities will be taken back by the Emperor."
When the good news came to the camp, the soldiers and the people were overjoyed. Yan Ning came out with her skirt in hand and ran outside the camp to greet Qi Hengyuan and his party.
However, Qi Hengyuan and his party did not come back. They only sent many soldiers back to pick up these villagers and elders who were forced to leave Sanyuan Pass back to the city.
The villagers and elders shed tears all the way to thank Qi Hengyuan. Yan Ning walked with them, and what she heard most was: "Your Majesty is our God!"
God.
Indeed.
Yan Ning smiled faintly, hiding all her achievements and fame.
When she was in Jiang State, she was neither greedy for power nor greedy for merit, and the same is true here.
Born in the Jiang Kingdom, she fought for the Jiang Kingdom.
Born in Qi, she fought for Qi.
That's all.
It has passed Haishi, which is the time when people decide to go into the night. Under normal circumstances, everyone is asleep, the city gates are closed, and every household turns off the lights. The whole world is bathed in darkness, but Sanyuan turns off the lights.
It was bright and bright, and there was a lot of people outside and inside the city.
Chen Dongyan was waiting at the city gate. When he saw Yan Ning approaching, he took a step forward and said respectfully: "Yan Cairen, your Majesty asked me to take you there."
Yan Ning smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Chen."
Chen Dongyan didn't answer and took her to the place where Qi Hengyuan stayed.
Yan Ning walked in and saw Qi Hengyuan sitting in a chair with his eyes closed, facing the city gate. This place was closest to the city gate, like a tea shop, but there was no one inside.
"Your Majesty." Yan Ning called softly.
Qi Hengyuan opened his eyes and looked at her, and after a moment he said, "Come here."
Yan Ning walked over and said softly: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, for successfully capturing Sanyuan Pass."
Qi Hengyuan lowered his eyes and said in an unhurried voice: "This is all the credit of Yancai people."
Yan Ning said with a smile: "I am a woman who does not know how to march and fight, but knows a little about astronomy. It is my honor to serve His Majesty. I played some role in winning this battle, but I am not as good as the ones who charged into the battle."
Compared with your Majesty and the soldiers, my concubine's role is insignificant."
Qi Hengyuan said: "People from Yancai are so humble."
Yan Ning smiled again, not wanting to talk about this topic again, and asked: "Is Your Majesty injured?"
"No."
"That's good."
Qi Hengyuan stretched out his hand to touch his neck, with a dark light surging in his eyes. He stretched out his hand to pull Yan Ning up and headed towards the city gate. After arriving, he pulled her up the city wall.
The hail on the ground has long since melted, and the corpses have been cleaned up, but there is still a strong smell of blood in the air.
Yan Ning felt a little uncomfortable, but she didn't say anything. She just followed Qi Hengyuan and stood on the high city wall, looking at the excited and happy villagers and soldiers in the city.
Qi Hengyuan didn't speak, and Yan Ning didn't speak either.
Yan Ning thought that His Majesty the State of Qi must have a lot of emotions in his heart at this time. It would be fine if she didn't disturb him and just stayed with him quietly.
