At that moment.

The sharp blade entered his body.

The man in black lowered his head in disbelief. His scimitar brushed past Song Jingchen’s abdomen and only cut through his armor, but the other party’s sword pierced through his chest.

He had used all his internal energy in this attack just now and did not protect himself at all.

The scimitar fell to the ground with a clang.

Blood flowed out of the man in black’s mouth. He grabbed Song Jingchen’s wrist with all his might and turned around with difficulty. “Master, run.”

At some point, Yan Guangmao had already stood up. He gritted his teeth and turned to leave.

Song Jingchen frowned and punched the man in black. The huge force sent him flying and he slammed into the wall behind him before falling to the ground in a sorry state.

The man in black spat out a mouthful of blood. The mask on his face fell off from the impact, revealing the crescent mark on his face.

Song Jingchen’s eyes turned cold. The last time he saw this mark was on the way back to his hometown after the Song family’s accident. However, those people’s skills were clearly incomparable to this person’s.

Moreover, he had been attacked by the men in black with the crescent mark many times before that.

Did this mean that Yan Guangmao had been in contact with Shangguan Yu since a long time ago?

These thoughts only flashed across Song Jingchen’s mind. He walked to the man in black and pulled out his sword. He was about to chase after Yan Guangmao when the man in black hugged him again.

Impatience showed on his face.

The man in black gritted his teeth and said, “Don’t even think about it.” Song Jingchen pierced his throat.

There was a main street outside the alley, and there were several alleys connected to it. After being delayed by the man in black, when Song Jingchen chased out of the alley, Yan Guangmao had long disappeared.

Song Jingchen frowned slightly. Yan Guangmao was seriously injured, so it was impossible for him to go far.

Just as he was about to search through the alleys, the sound of hooves sounded on the right. He turned around and saw Shen Yijia riding in his direction. He glanced down at the person she had wrapped her long whip around her waist and dragged behind the horse.

The corners of Song Jingchen’s mouth twitched.

Shen Yijia stopped her horse in front of him and said with a smile, “Beauty, are you looking for Yan Guangmao?”

Song Jingchen was speechless.

“Then are you looking for this despicable person, Yan Guangmao?” She pulled the whip and threw the dying person to her right. “Or this bad person, Yan Guangmao?” With that, she threw him to her left.

Song Jingchen was speechless.

Shen Yijia blinked and urged him to choose quickly.

Song Jingchen held his forehead and walked forward to carry her off the horse. He said helplessly, “Didn’t I ask you to wait for me at the camp? You’re pregnant now, so it’s not easy for you to ride a horse.”

Shen Yijia pursed her lips. “I was waiting for you at the camp. Didn’t I come because I heard that the army had taken down Luozhou? Besides, Mother said that it’s fine.”

When Ji Luo was pregnant with her, she had escaped from the Xuanyuan Kingdom to Great Xia without any incident. It was obvious that the baby with the spiritual liquid was not weak.

“Mother really said that it’s fine?” Song Jingchen didn’t believe her.

Apart from him, Ji Luo was probably the person who was most worried about this girl’s stomach, especially when he knew that she almost had a miscarriage because she went to the battlefield last time. He wished he could keep an eye on her 24 hours a day.

Shen Yijia jumped out of his arms guiltily.

Song Jingchen pinched her cheek punishingly. “Did you secretly come over when Mother went to treat the injured soldiers?”

“No, no.” The sound of hooves sounded behind her again. Shen Yijia turned around and her eyes lit up. “I even brought MO Yuan. It’s really fine.”

As soon as she finished speaking, MO Yuan arrived. It was obvious that she had heard Shen Yijia’s words. She said expressionlessly, “Master realized that Miss was missing and asked me to look for her.”

Shen Yijia was speechless. “I’m your lady. Can you help preserve my dignity?” she thought.

Song Jingchen couldn’t help but chuckle. He glanced at Yan Guangmao, who

was staring at them resentfully. He took the whip from Shen Yijia’s hand and held her hand with his other hand. “Let’s go.”

“Aren’t we going to kill him?” Shen Yijia asked.

“There’s no hurry.”

The flames of war in Luozhou City spread for a day and night. In the end, the flag of the Wu Kingdom on the city tower was changed to a flag with the emblem of Great Xia.

Originally, General Ye had also planted the flag of the Xuanyuan Kingdom on the North City Building.

Unexpectedly, in less than a breath, it was pulled out by Xuanyuan Ce. Under General Ye’s puzzled gaze, Chu Lin braced himself and inserted the Jia flag he had prepared long ago.

General Ye was speechless.

“This is my gift to my daughter,” Xuanyuan Ce said.

General Ye was silent. It seemed that his upcoming battle was going to be in vain.

In the next half a month, Song Jingchen led the army east and captured three cities in the Wu Kingdom. He killed six generals of the Wu Kingdom and captured nearly 200,000 prisoners of war.

The soldiers of the Xuanyuan Kingdom had clearly participated in the battle, but they were all sent away by Xuanyuan Ce.

At first, they were quite dissatisfied. Xuanyuan Ce waved his hand and distributed all the spoils of war that he had split with Song Jingchen according to their military contributions, stopping everyone’s complaints.

After all, after reporting military merits to the Imperial Court, most of it would belong to the generals above. The real share of military merits would typically not be given to ordinary soldiers.

They were clearly the ones at the front. Although no one dared to say anything, they still felt uncomfortable. How could it be better to exchange their heads for real money?

Not only did no one have any objections to Xuanyuan Ce’s move, but they also worked even harder to kill the enemy on the battlefield. The most dangerous charging battalion also became popular.

If not for the fact that their stamina did not allow them to fight, they would have fought one city a day without stopping.

Of course, there was a reason why Xuanyuan Ce did this. The main force of the Xuanyuan Kingdom would go all the way south from Pingyang Pass, and the cities they conquered would eventually be planted with the flag of the Xuanyuan Kingdom.

He was not worried that the Xuanyuan Kingdom would suffer a loss. Coupled with the fact that the city here was close to Great Xia, the final outcome of the negotiation was that Great Xia would use some wealth to exchange for ownership.

Since it belonged to Great Xia, he might as well give it to his daughter.

With this reputation, no matter what, no one in Great Xia would dare to bully her in the future. Even if there was another Emperor Chong’an, he would have to think twice before attacking the Song family.

The good news arrived in Chang’an one after another. At the same time, Xiao Qirui’s coffin arrived outside Chang’an..
