Chapter 412 This is good, this is good.
The capital of the State of Qi.

The Qin army has already entered the city.

According to the military law established by Xiao Mo, the Qin army is strictly prohibited from disturbing the people, and those who violate this rule will be severely punished.

After breaking into the palace, the Qin army slaughtered all the members of the Qi royal family, leaving none alive.

At this time, the Qin army was under the command of Xiahou Nan and Fang Weiming.

Just as Xiao Mo had done before, the two of them compiled the geomantic maps, household registers, and official records of the State of Qi into a book and sent it back to the Qin royal palace as soon as possible.

After doing all this, Xiahou Nan and Fang Weiming arranged the city's defenses, leaving Ma Jinpeng, Su Lei, and some famous generals from the Northern Wilderness to guard the capital of Qi.

The seventh day after the fall of the State of Qi.

Holding a long spear and a clay figure, Xiahou Nan walked step by step toward the outskirts of the capital of Qi.

The long spear is one of the ten most vicious spears.

Because of its master's passing, the divine soul imprint on the Ten Fierce Spears has disappeared.

Even so, the Ten Fierce Spears would still tremble slightly from time to time, as if it was grieving for its master's departure.

That little clay figure wasn't some kind of magical artifact; it was just an ordinary clay sculpture.

But it's just a clay sculpture.

It was something that the Frost King protected until the very end of his life.

Xiahou Nan didn't know what was so special about this little clay figure, but he knew that it must be of extraordinary significance to the Frost King.

They left the capital of the State of Qi.

Outside the city gate, a million Qin soldiers, all wearing white headscarves, stood in two rows on either side of the gate.

Every soldier's eyes were red; they stood tall and held their weapons tightly.

"General."

Xiahou Nan looked at the keepsake in his hand, and even after experiencing several separations and deaths, his eyes reddened.

"The great war is over."

我们!

go back!"

Two months later
"The Qin army has returned in triumph!"

"Our Qin soldiers have returned!"

"Quick, quick! Go see!"

"If we don't go now, there won't be any seats left."

"The Qin army is back? That's great! I can see the Frost King again."

"What's the use of seeing this? The Frost King is really going to marry His Majesty this time."

"So what? I still prefer the Frost King. If you're so capable, then don't go."

"Wait for me, I want to see the Frost King too!"

On this day, as the Qin army was about to return to the Qin capital, the news spread like wildfire, quickly reaching every corner of the capital.

Just as in the past when the Qin army returned to the city, the people stood on both sides of the town streets to welcome the triumphant army.

The gates of the imperial city opened, and the army returned to the capital.

Many women eagerly awaited the day they could see the Frost King's face again.

But the women waited for a long time without seeing her.

All they could see were Qin soldiers wearing white headscarves and looking solemn.

The soldiers in front carried a coffin.

Step by step, I move forward.

In the backyard of the Xiao family mansion, Qin Siyao sat by her mother-in-law's bedside, holding a bowl of medicine in her hands, carefully feeding her mother-in-law the medicine.

As soon as it was light, Qin Siyao arrived at the Xiao residence.

The imperial physician who had been staying by Zhou Ruoxi's side urged Cuicui to hurry into the palace and tell His Majesty that Madam Zhou might not make it through the day.

After feeding her mother-in-law the medicine, Qin Siyao put down the medicine bowl, picked up a handkerchief, and gently wiped the medicine stains from the corner of her mother-in-law's mouth.

"Siyao, you've really worked hard these past few days."

Zhou Ruoxi looked at her daughter-in-law with a smile.

Although Zhou Ruoxi is old and has a full head of white hair, this lady seems to have always been so gentle.

"Mother, this is what I should do. It's not hard for me."

Feeling the life force emanating from her mother-in-law, Qin Siyao lowered her head and clenched her small hands. Zhou Ruoxi reached out and gently stroked Qin Siyao's hair, smiling slightly:
"Silly child, don't look so gloomy all the time. Everyone has their own destiny, there's no need to force it."

Moreover, I have lived a very, very good life.

The two happiest things in my life are having a child like Mo'er and having a daughter-in-law like you.

After Mother is gone, you two must take good care of yourselves.

Mother knows that couples inevitably quarrel; what couple in the world doesn't quarrel?

But even if you quarrel in bed, you make up before you fall asleep. So don't hold a grudge against Mo'er, that silly girl.

Leave him out in the cold for two days, and he'll realize his mistake.

"Mother, I know." Qin Siyao smiled with red eyes. "Don't worry, I will definitely treat my husband well and I will never let you worry."

"Yes, that's good. It's good that you two are doing well. That's better than anything else."

As she spoke, Zhou Ruoxi felt her eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and her breath becoming weaker and weaker.

Zhou Ruoxi really wanted to sleep, but she also knew that if she fell asleep this time, she would never wake up again.

"Siyao, Mother thinks she heard a lot of noise outside. What happened?"

Zhou Ruoxi tried to muster her spirits and asked Siyao.

Looking out the window at the street just a wall away, Qin Siyao heard the faint noise coming from outside and said with a sob in her voice, "Mother, my husband is back."

"Mo'er is back! That's wonderful!"

Zhou Ruoxi's consciousness became increasingly hazy, and her tone became light and airy, as if she were talking in her sleep.

"After this great battle, Mo'er shouldn't have to go out to fight anymore, right? He should be able to stay in the capital for a while longer."

"Yes, Mother, after my husband returns... after he returns, we won't have to go out anymore, and there won't be any more wars in the world. Everything will be over."

As Qin Siyao spoke, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

"From now on, my husband and I can stay with you forever."

We're getting married soon, and my husband says he wants three or four children. When they grow up, they'll all call you Grandma.

"That's wonderful. That's wonderful!"

Zhou Ruoxi's lips curled slightly, and her pupils gradually dilated.

Her gaze shifted from beside Qin Siyao to behind her, and she asked, "Hey? Siyao, look, is Mo'er here to see me? My eyesight is a little... blurry."

Qin Siyao turned her head and looked behind her. There was an empty courtyard, and no one was in the courtyard.

"Yes, Mother." Qin Siyao hastily wiped away her tears, forcing a smile through her sobs, "My husband came to visit you. My husband is back."

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."

Zhou Ruoxi slowly closed her eyes.

In the darkness, Zhou Ruoxi's vision seemed to gradually clear again.

Zhou Ruoxi returned to that winter night once again.

On that day, her child was born into the world.

That day, my life was filled with color by my child's little hands, stroke by stroke.

When the child cried for the first time, I was at a loss.

The child smiled for the first time, and I was overjoyed.

The joy of a child's first babbling.

My worries about my child's first steps.

It was the first time my child had walked in the snow, and I couldn't bear it.

My expectations for my first birthday.
"Mo'er, this is your first birthday gift from your mother."

Zhou Ruoxi hung a jade pendant for peace around the child's neck.

"Mother doesn't care what achievements you make in the future."

Mother only hopes that Mo'er will…

"Mother, what did you say?"

Qin Siyao noticed Zhou Ruoxi's lips trembling slightly and quickly leaned forward.

Year after year, year after year

"Year after year."

"Safety."
