Chapter 1025: Chapter 233: Achieving a Good Marriage_2

All of his concubines paled with fear, their beauty faded, crying for mercy, "Spare us, General Pei! We were all captured! Please, General Pei, we can all serve you!"

Pei Qin rolled her eyes at the seven or eight lightly dressed women, "Shut the hell up! Stop blabbering!"

Immediately, they dared not cry or scream, but their gazes and quiet sobs still sought her out.

Pei Qin was not adept at cleaning up the battlefield after the battle, but luckily the Deputy General by her side had old hands, and her own reputation was enough to keep things under control.

The victory report was urgently dispatched six hundred li to the capital, and Pei Qin temporarily stationed herself at Pingliang Mountain.

"General! It’s too cold on the mountain, better to stay in a house down below!" Chang Yonglin said, and couldn’t help but reach out to touch the soft armor she was wearing, hearing it was specially made. This Sister Qin, riding a warhorse, wielding the Dragon Spring Treasure Sword, leading troops into battle and killing enemies, was even more formidable than men. Would he ever be able to find a wife?

"Keep touching!" Pei Qin glared at him.

Chang Yonglin withdrew his hand with a sheepish grin, his shining eyes filled with admiration, "I’m not going to take the imperial examinations anymore! I’ll become personal soldiers for the General instead!"

Pei Qin gave him an indifferent glance and rubbed her cold hands, "Go back to the tent to sleep!"

"General!" Xiao Yong came out with a cloak and hurried over to drape it over her, "The campfire has been lit in the tent, you can go back to sleep. We’ll see about the training tomorrow!"

Pei Qin agreed and went down the mountain to return.

Pei Wendong had just finished helping to tally up the supplies and spoils from the defeated army and came over with the results to find Pei Qin when he saw Jun Su Xue lingering outside the commander’s tent, sending shivers down his spine. This woman... She wasn’t seriously considering actually offering herself to their elder sister, was she?

Jun Su Xue, seeing him and two other soldiers approaching obviously looking for General Pei, quickly stepped back.

Pei Qin was sitting by the charcoal furnace warming herself and roasting meat when he walked in, "Want to have some late-night snacks?"

Pei Wendong was still not accustomed to seeing her in men’s dark clothes; her in full military attire caused his heart to fill with reverence as well as unstoppable pity. Elder Sister Jun was right to scold him; the battlefield was ruthless and cruel, with no regard for lives. It had been tough enough for their elder sister to raise the three siblings, and yet she had led troops to repel the enemy, and when she was injured and poisoned at home recuperating, he had... He hadn’t even realized how urgent and serious it was.

Their elder sister might not be gentle and caring, but she had used her strength and toughness to support a home, a world for her siblings. She was someone with great love and a vast vision in her heart. A great person worthy of the people’s reverence and admiration!

Looking at her charred face faintly showing paleness, huddled around the charcoal stove to ward off the cold, Pei Wendong, whose heart had been rattled by the war, suddenly felt a sour feeling, and his eyes grew warm.

Pei Qin noticed his eyes looking red and raised an eyebrow. Was he scared?

"I’ll grill meat for the General. I’m good at grilling, and it’s delicious too!" Pei Wendong sniffed and sat down next to her, picking up chopsticks to grill meat for her.

Xiao Yong and Chang Yonglin exchanged a satisfied glance. Finally, he had witnessed the cruelty of the battlefield and had somewhat come to his senses, not entirely bewitched by that Xie Yi.

Pei Wendong flipped the meat over as he grilled and reported on the spoils of the defeated army. They had captured very substantial booty this time, including no small amount of gold, silver, jewelry, and Silver Coin.

After eating some grilled meat and drinking a bowl of hot mutton soup, Pei Qin got up to stretch a bit, ordered Lu Hai to arrange tomorrow’s training, and prepared to sleep.

"By the way, General! About that Ms. Jun... What do you plan to do? She seemed to be looking for you just now," Pei Wendong said, frowning.

"Let her be," Pei Qin yawned. She wasn’t a man who could actually marry her, "Just have them leave with those refugees and their families tomorrow!"

Pei Wendong nodded and went out to sleep in their quarter with Xiao Yong and Chang Yonglin.

Liu Feng and a few others kept watch.

The shocked army finally relaxed and fell into a deep sleep.

Jun Su Xue couldn’t sleep either. Those refugees and their families who wanted to leave could do so tomorrow, but what about them? What about her? She should leave too, but when she thought of that figure charging into battle, those deep and inscrutable phoenix eyes, and the slight amusement on his lips, she hesitated deeply.

"Su Xue? Why aren’t you sleeping?" Elder Sister Jun opened her eyes and saw her sitting by the window, calling out to her.

Jun Su Xue looked back at her, "Elder Sister! We can leave tomorrow."

"Yes! We can leave here tomorrow!" Elder Sister Jun had been longing day and night to leave this place, but hearing the hesitation in her voice as if reluctant, she shifted her gaze, understanding to some extent that heroes have trouble with beauties, just as beauties cherish heroes. She got up, putting on clothes, "This General Pei is indeed impressive, using only ten thousand troops to claim victory in one battle, suppressing the chaotic army of seventy thousand."
