A sickly fellow ridiculed by the entire army? I'll be the most beautiful woman in the barracks!

"What are you laughing at? Be careful, Captain Wei Feng will punish you for disrespect!"

The man with the triangular eyes was furious and spoke through gritted teeth.

"Hahaha, I'd like to see how Captain Wei Feng punishes my disrespect. Will he crawl up from the grave? Hahaha..."

Ah Liang clutched his stomach, laughing so hard he could hardly contain himself.

Li Changming smiled and shook his head. "A Liang, speak properly, don't be like that."

Ah Liang finally stopped laughing, but the corners of his mouth still couldn't be suppressed by the smile.

Those around the burly man with triangular eyes all changed their expressions upon hearing Ah Liang's words.

"Insolence! Stop talking nonsense!"

The burly man with triangular eyes roared angrily, and the other city guards around him also looked at A Liang with angry expressions.

Ah Liang curled his lip, not bothering to answer, and instead looked at the others beside him.

"Does any brother know where Captain Wei Feng's body is? Please bring it to the city guards."

"Okay, I know where it is, I'm going!"

One of the armored cavalrymen on the side laughed and turned his horse around to gallop away.

Upon seeing this, the man with the triangular eyes felt his heart sink.

After they returned to the city, they did not see Wei Feng again. They had initially thought he was with the general, but now it seemed that he might have really met with misfortune.

Soon, the armored rider returned, with a corpse lying on his horse, which was quite distinctive, with a large belly protruding from its body.

Looking at the size of the corpse, the man with the triangular eyes was immediately certain that Wei Feng had met with misfortune, because there was no other person of that size in the city guards!

Having lost their powerful backer, the city guards present turned deathly pale.

The man with the triangular eyes felt the aura of the hundreds of armored cavalrymen in front of him grow even stronger, making it hard for them to breathe.

Two armored cavalrymen carried Wei Feng's body down and laid it flat in front of the triangular-eyed man.

"Here it is, take a good look at it."

Ah Liang gestured toward the corpse on the ground, looking at the triangular-eyed man with a mocking expression.

The man with the triangular eyes twitched slightly. He suppressed the chill in his heart, remained silent for a moment, then pulled out several curved knives from behind him and threw them on the ground.

The other city guards also took out their spoils and threw them on the ground, the sound of them hitting the ground echoing continuously.

"Goodbye!"

With a taut face, the man with triangular eyes spoke in a cold voice, then arranged for several people to lift Wei Feng's body and slowly retreat towards Zhenbei City.

"Wait!"

The man with triangular eyes, who had only taken a few steps, stopped and turned to look at Ah Liang, who had just spoken, with a livid face.

"My lord, isn't what we've done enough?"

Ah Liang stared coldly at the triangular-eyed man.

"Of course not! Who hit my brother just now? Come out and let my brother hit him back, and we'll call it even!"

Upon hearing this, the man with the triangular eyes twitched slightly at the corner of his mouth, momentarily at a loss for words, as he was the one who had just struck the man.

Seeing that the other party did not speak, Ah Liang looked at the soldier with a swollen cheek.

"Tell me yourself, who hit you?"

"It's him!"

The soldier pointed directly at the triangular-eyed man in front of him.

Ah Liang's eyes instantly turned icy cold. "Go up there, hit him back the same way he hit you, don't hold back!"

"yes!"

The soldier's face lit up with joy. He dismounted and strode quickly toward the man with the triangular eyes.

"you!--"

The man with the triangular eyes looked at Ah Liang, who was riding on horseback, with a look of shock and anger.

"What do you mean, 'what ...'? Hit him!"

Ah Liang said coldly.

"Snap—"

A loud slap rang out.

Before the man with the triangular eyes could react, the soldier's slap landed heavily on his face, causing him to stagger back a few steps.

The triangular-eyed man's cheeks swelled up rapidly, and even a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

He looked at the soldier in front of him with a resentment in his eyes.

In the end, the man with the triangular eyes swallowed back his rising anger.

Without saying a word, he told the others to hurry towards Zhenbei City.

Among the triangular-eyed soldiers, hundreds of city guards watched this scene unfold, but no one dared to utter a sound.

Ah Liang watched the city guards' departing figures with a cold smile and waved his hand.

"Brothers, let's keep working!"

Just as A Liang and his group were confronting Triangle Eyes, inside the Wangbei Village camp...

Zhao Daxuan couldn't bear to look at the little girl in front of him holding a cold, lifeless corpse.

The corpse was wearing the leather armor of the city guards, with several cuts ripped open on the chest, revealing the mangled flesh beneath.

The little girl cried and called out for her father.

"Father! Father! Wake up!"

"Waaah... Niu Niu will never cry for food again, please wake up, Daddy!"

The little girl hugged a corpse on the ground, looking at her father whose eyes were tightly closed and who could not be woken up no matter how she called him.

Although she is still young, the little girl does not quite understand the meaning of death.

But her intuition told her that her father would never wake up again.

Beside the girl was a haggard-looking woman, who was now slumped down beside the corpse, her eyes lifeless, as if all her energy had been drained away.

"Sigh, this is a refugee who just joined Wangbei Camp a few days ago, just to give his wife and daughters a bite to eat when they ran out of food."

Qin Lide walked up and stood beside Zhao Daxuan, letting out a soft sigh.

Zhao Daxuan's face tightened as he stepped forward and picked up the sobbing little girl.

"Niu Niu, be good. Your dad is asleep. Don't disturb him."

As he spoke, he flipped his right hand, revealing a bottle of honey, which he had previously plundered from the Tartars.

"Niu Niu, be a good girl, and Uncle will take you to eat honey, okay?"

Upon hearing about the honey, the little girl, who had been sobbing uncontrollably, gradually stopped and looked timidly at Zhao Daxuan in front of her.

What does honey taste like?

Zhao Daxuan smiled slightly, then slapped open the seal of the jar with one hand and held it out to the little girl.

"What does it taste like? Try it yourself!"

The unique sweet aroma of honey filled the little girl's nostrils, instantly making her mouth water.

"Is it really possible?"

The little girl looked at Zhao Daxuan in disbelief.

Zhao Daxuan just smiled and moved the jar closer. Only then did the little girl resist the temptation, reach into the jar, and put it in her mouth.

Suddenly, a sweet taste blossomed on the little girl's taste buds, an experience she had never had before.

Instantly, the sadness that filled my heart was mostly dispelled by this sweet taste.

Zhao Daxuan stuffed the honey pot directly into the little girl's arms, and then handed the little girl to Zhao Fubao who was standing next to him.

"Fu Bao, take this little one to my tent to rest properly. This is not a place for her."

Zhao Fubao nodded, picked up the little girl, and smiled at her, saying, "Niu Niu, brother will take you to rest!"

The little girl happily hugged the honey jar, reached inside, swiped around in it, and then put it in her mouth to suck.

Upon hearing Zhao Fubao's words, the little girl nodded at first, but then suddenly remembered something and quickly shook her head.

"Niu Niu wants to stay with her mother!"

Then, he looked at the woman who was still sitting slumped to the side.

Zhao Daxuan sighed softly and squatted down beside the woman.

"Please accept my deepest condolences! I promised before that if I were to die in battle, I would take responsibility for supporting my family, including the elderly and children!"

"Don't be too sad. Niu Niu is still so young. Think more about her. Life goes on."

Upon hearing this, the woman's eyes flickered. She looked at Niu Niu in Zhao Fubao's arms, then at the corpse on the ground, her expression complex.

"Go on, go back and get some rest with Niu Niu. We'll take care of the rest."

Zhao Daxuan spoke again softly, his tone sincere. Only then did the woman look at Zhao Daxuan, tears welling up in her eyes.

"This humble woman thanks you, sir!"

Zhao Daxuan shook his head, only urging the woman and Niu Niu to go back and rest.

Zhao Daxuan only breathed a long sigh of relief after the mother and daughter left.

"Alas, this is the cruelty of war."

Qin Youde shook his head. He had seen far too many scenes like this ten years ago.

Zhao Daxuan's face was tense as he looked at the battlefield that had been cleared. The soldiers of Wangbei Camp who had died in battle were all neatly lined up in front of the camp.

Seeing Li Erlong running over, Zhao Daxuan spoke in a deep voice.

"Erlong, how many casualties are there!"
