Chapter 1024: Chapter 233: Achieving a Good Marriage

The Rebel Army of Pingliang Mountain was quickly surrounded. Those who surrendered dropped their weapons and hid to the side, leaving only those who resisted to the death and those who fled.

The booming sounds of mortars and grenades were deafening, as Pei Qin charged in, slashing with her sword at the chaotic soldiers rushing toward her.

Lu Hai and Liu Feng closely protected her.

The soldiers behind them were greatly inspired, their blood running high with fierce passion. They were elite troops and brilliant generals, all battle-hardened from fighting on the front lines, but never had they seen a commander of a whole army leading the charge, paving the way for them. They all roared and charged like tigers descending the mountains.

A troop of ten thousand faced the vast number of chaotic soldiers, yet they achieved an overwhelming victory.

There were even some who had surrendered turning back to intercept the chaotic soldiers.

This was Fang Liuyang’s first time facing such close-quarters combat on the battlefield, his soul shaken, he also raised the long spear given to him by Deputy General before the battle, seeing an enemy soldier charging at him with a shortsword, his mind went blank, gripping the long spear tightly, he instinctively thrust it forward.

With a squelch, the spear pierced through flesh.

He could not see clearly what was in front of him, only felt something warm splashing onto his face and body.

By the time he came to his senses, he had already joined the soldiers beside him in the forward charge.

The victory horn sounded, the beat of the war drums echoing.

The battlefield of Pingliang Mountain, shrouded in gun smoke, ceased its strife; aside from the surrendering chaotic soldiers and the prisoners, everyone’s faces brimmed with the joy of business and an exuberant energy, as if ready to fight several more battles.

Pei Qin sheathed her sword and ascended the residence halfway up the mountainside.

There was a huge ancestral altar set up in the middle of the hall, surrounded by wreaths and offerings on the table, behind a tattered piece of soft armor hung Pei Hansan’s memorial tablet adorned with black and white flowers.

The few Deputy Generals who entered with her were infuriated as they looked at the altar, "General! You are clearly not dead. These people spreading rumors of your death was bad enough, but to actually set up an ancestral altar for you!"

"There’s still unburned joss paper in the fire basin..."

Pei Qin grabbed an apple, rubbed it against her clothes, and took a crunchy bite. She couldn’t help but frown and then threw the apple away, "Damn them, saying I’m dead, rebelling in my name, and they can’t even offer decent tributes!"

"This apple... so big and red..." Deputy General picked it up.

"Damn it!" Before, their Cook Woman used to cook, but since arriving in Daxing, Mo Heng had specifically found a chef who refused to enter the palace to take charge of the kitchen, and the refined, nourishing meals had spoiled her taste.

Deputy General twitched the corner of his mouth, "What should we do with this ancestral altar, General?"

"Who the hell arranged this!? Saying I’m dead and setting this up, smash it!" Pei Qin kicked the paper-burning fire basin in front of her.

Jun Suxue, who had just reunited with her family outside the hall, heard her cursing, blushed, and came in. She bowed deeply, her face not pleased, "General, I arranged this altar. I did not know the General before. Please forgive me!"

Her parents and sister-in-law also came in and knelt down, "Please spare us, General! Su Xue was compelled by the desperate situation to pretend to be your fiancée and set up this altar! It was those bandits who forced us!"

Pei Qin glanced at them, who were almost unrecognizable from mistreatment, "Alright! Alright! It’s none of your affair, go on down!" Not to mention setting up an ancestral altar in Pei Hansan’s name, even if they really set up one for her, Pei Qin, could she have chopped them down?

"Thank you, General, for sparing our lives! Thank you, General!" They quickly kowtowed in thanks.

Su Xue lifted her tear-filled eyes to look at Pei Qin, "The General saved Su Xue’s family. Su Xue will also keep her promise." She bowed deeply, following her father and the rest down.

Pei Qin, confused by all this, turned and asked Xiao Yong, "What promise?"

Xiao Yong looked at her with a smile, "To serve by the General’s side! She might even have to warm your bed in the future!"

The Deputy Generals also laughed, as if she were their spoil of war, "General! You can keep this fiancée, she’s beautiful!"

A woman should be charming and filial, and Su Xue, in her white hemp mourning clothes, was indeed strikingly attractive.

Pei Qin twitched the corner of her mouth again, too lazy to engage in their nonsense, "What’s the situation after the battle? Have the statistics come out?"

The Captains quickly presented the post-battle statistics.

The Rebel Army of Pingliang Mountain totaled seventy thousand, with over twenty thousand exterminated and a few taken as prisoners, the rest surrendered.

Their own soldiers also suffered casualties, fortunately few.

A few people brought over the bodies of Second General Pei and Deputy General Pei, and threw them on the ground.
