Lingjiang City was in deathly silence.

Meng Qing stood here alone, surrounded by soldiers from the Eagle Country, who surrounded him tightly in circles.

All his soldiers collapsed to the ground powerlessly.

Half of them were killed by the enemy, and half were killed by "our own people"...

The leading general of the Eagle Nation stepped forward and spoke in the poor Dajing Empire language:

"I've heard of you...you're very impressive!"

Meng Qing did not show any other expression when he heard this. He just kept his gaze lingering on the brothers who fell at his feet.

Even sometimes, comrades-in-arms are the easiest to develop feelings for, and sometimes they are even closer than family members.

These more than 9,000 soldiers are inconspicuous in Changwei’s army, but they are all his confidants and his brothers in life.

When this moment really came, he felt relieved.

He sneered: "Oh, why are you saying this? Everything is meaningless, isn't it?"

Only at this moment did he finally slowly turn his eyes to the general.

As the saying goes, the one who knows you best is your enemy. He actually admires this general of the Eagle Country very much.

He was actually very similar to himself, even more miserable. Born in such a cruel country, he was just an ordinary merchant's son, but he relied on his talent and ruthlessness to reach the position of general.

But unfortunately, even as a general, he still could not disobey those high-ranking royal people.

The general of the Eagle Nation admired Meng Qing very much, not only because his life story was very similar to his own, but also because his ability to win people's hearts was even stronger than his.

Heroes always appreciate each other.

Isn’t it the same for Meng Qing?

Xiongyingguo sighed, strode forward, and despite the dissuasion of his subordinates, he dismissed all the people.

As he walked along, he was not only looking at Meng Qing, but also paying attention to the final expressions of the group of soldiers lying on the ground around him.

"It's amazing that they have no regrets. Wouldn't they be unwilling to give up?"

Meng Qing seemed to be hurt by these words, and his calm expression disappeared.

He looked sad and couldn't help but burst into tears.

At this moment, he wanted to cry out loudly. He wanted to vent out the sadness of his brothers' death and the lack of a place to bury their bodies, the hatred of the group of cruel and insane traitors, and his own lofty ambitions and unfulfilled regrets.

But he couldn't do that, as he was representing the reputation of his brothers and they couldn't surrender to the enemy.

He suppressed the surging emotions in his heart and said the last words word by word:

"Brothers, you know I'm not a talkative person..."

The general of the Eagle Country felt something was wrong. He stepped forward quickly and tried to reach out to stop Meng Qing.

"Meng Qing! That's not necessary! You can still come to our country..."

Before he could finish his words, Meng Qing committed suicide with a knife.

Clean and neat, without any sloppiness.

"Brothers...I'm coming to find you!"

The Eagle Nation warrior's outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, and he stared at Meng Qing's falling body in a daze.

After fighting for so long, he actually had some admiration for Meng Qing. To be honest, he really didn't want Meng Qing to die.

"Alas... But to be honest, I know I can't persuade you..."

He felt a little emotional, as if this incident happened to Meng Qing. Maybe in his heart, Meng Qing should not have died.

He looked up at the sky and sighed deeply.

There was no longer dead silence, but the voices of soldiers cheering for the death of the enemy general.

One level higher than the other, extremely loud, but in his ears, it was so harsh.

"Maybe, your fate... will be my fate." He murmured.

He waved his hand to stop the cheering soldiers.

"All the advance soldiers of the Dajing Empire have been killed. We have won a great victory today! But we are exhausted both physically and mentally. We will plunder after we have rested. Let's march now! Return to the camp!!"

The vanguard army was completely defeated, and the Changwei army would not continue to attack, and they never thought of attacking. This was just a place of death created for Meng Qing and others.

How could the general of the Eagle Country not know this?

At his command, all the soldiers shouted loudly, their bodies and faces were splattered with blood, some even had broken arms and legs, but their faces were full of excitement and bloodthirstiness.

Some soldiers were even a little dissatisfied with the general's words, but they did not dare to say anything because of the general's authority. The class system in their country was very strict, and the general could kill soldiers at will, which was just a matter of the general's will.

After the Eagle Country army left, a pink light flashed across Meng Qing's body, who was lying on a pile of corpses, and then he disappeared without a trace.

midnight……

In the desolate and silent Lingjiang City filled with blood, waves of light footsteps were heard.

A dozen people came here with torches. Under the dim light of the fire, the face of the general of the Eagle Country was revealed.

He whispered, "Hurry, hurry up. After we bury those people, we will evacuate as soon as possible. Don't let anyone find us!"

"Yes!"

The general of the Eagle Nation watched these people lift up the corpse, and he quickly walked to where Meng Qing fell.

But when he arrived, he found that Meng Qing's body was missing.

He was a little surprised, but he quickly suppressed his emotions. This was not the time to be surprised, nor could he make too much noise.

He was already taking a huge risk by coming here at this time. If he were to go look for Meng Qing's body, the risk would undoubtedly be greatly increased.

There are actually two speculations about Meng Qing's missing body. One is that Meng Qing's body was taken away and buried by an acquaintance. The other is...

It was taken away by someone with ulterior motives.

He frowned: "I hope... it's the first guess."

It was already good enough for Meng Qing that he could come here, there was nothing he could do for anything more.

"General, the bodies of the main generals have been sorted out. Should we go there as planned?"

The general pondered for a while, then asked:

"Is the route we planned earlier okay?"

"Yes. Perhaps the battle went so smoothly that they let down their guard."

The general of the Eagle Nation nodded: "Then let's go to Taohualing as planned!"

After quietly leaving with dozens of people, a figure in a pink Confucian robe emerged.

Xiao Taohua looked at the corpses all over the ground, and then looked at the dozen people who were walking away.

He had a confused look on his face, not knowing whether he should hate them or thank them.

"Ah, what am I thinking? Of course I should hate what I should hate and be grateful to what I should be grateful to."

"But it's really a coincidence that the burial sites we chose are so consistent."

He smiled charmingly, and his laughter like a silver bell echoed in the empty Lingjiang City.

He waved his sleeves and put the corpses on the ground into his sleeves. After those people buried the bodies, he buried the remaining bodies in Taohualing.

After doing all this, he flashed and arrived at Taohualing.

Looking at the dozen people busy at work, he stretched out his white fingers to the peach blossom branches above his head. With a gentle wave of his hand, a dozen petals flashing pink light sank into their brows.

The most dazzling one among them was the petal that flew towards the forehead of the general of the Eagle Country.

They were unaware of such brilliant light and continued to work hard.

Just at that moment, I felt that my waist and legs were no longer sore, and even the stench that filled my nose was covered by the faint fragrance of flowers.

"Eh? The flowers here are really nice. They smell pretty good. They can even cover up the stench of corpses!"

"Yeah, it's really magical. I could smell it just now!"

————Fill in the settings————

The spiritual energy of the Great Immortal Realm is originally rich, and the reason why mortals are mortals is because they do not have the talent to cultivate immortals. Even if the spiritual energy where they are is very rich, they can only enhance their physical fitness.

And this process is gradual.

Therefore, the increased concentration of spiritual energy during the protagonist's enlightenment will not immediately improve the physical fitness of the mortals here, or give them the talent to cultivate immortality.

Physical fitness needs to be accumulated over time, while talent only occurs with a small probability based on the concentration of spiritual energy.

So now they just feel that the air is fresher and it will be easier for them to work.
