Except for me, all my enemies have been reborn.

Shang Shixu didn't leave until he could no longer see anyone.

It was already daybreak, the morning sun shone on the returning war horses, Prime Minister Shang Shixu and General Fang Chenglan walked side by side.

Their eyes were firm and deep. Today, they not only eliminated harm to the country, but also brought a priceless treasure to the eldest prince - the news of victory.

The people hiding in their houses looked out quietly. They didn't know what was happening.

But in the middle of the team, there was a group of weather-beaten women and children following, their faces were tired, but their eyes were full of hope.

"Look, those are our people!" an old woman shouted in a trembling voice.

Her eyes were sharp and she was the first to recognize her relatives in the team.

For a moment, the atmosphere at the city gate turned from tense to exciting.

There were waves of cheers from the crowd, and everyone rushed out, wanting to see this touching scene of reunion after a long separation.

"Mom!" A little girl broke away from the crowd and stumbled towards a middle-aged woman.

The woman opened her arms, tears of excitement streaming down her face. She leaned over and hugged the girl tightly, as if she wanted to pour all her love into this hug.

When the people nearby saw this scene, they were all moved to tears.

Some applauded the mother and daughter, while others couldn't help wiping tears from their eyes.

Such scenes are constantly played out at the city gate, and every reunion is a touch to the soul.

Shang Shixu and Fang Chenglan stood quietly by, their eyes also flashing with barely perceptible tears.

This is exactly their original intention - not only for the security of the country, but also for the reunion of these ordinary people's families.

"Prime Minister, you saved our family, and we have no way to repay you." An old man came forward, his eyes filled with gratitude.

Shang Shixu smiled slightly and waved his hand: "Old man, this is what I should do. I am satisfied to see your smiles."

Fang Chenglan also nodded in agreement: "Yes, we are just fulfilling our duty as a subject. Seeing the people of Lingnan living and working in peace and contentment, our wish will be fulfilled."

The crowd erupted in even louder applause and cheers.

The people of Lingnan know very well that without these brave soldiers, their homes would not be so peaceful and their loved ones would not be able to be reborn.

As the sun rises, the fatigue of the day seems to dissipate in this warm atmosphere.

Shang Shixu and Fang Chenglan slowly entered the city surrounded by the common people.

They knew that this was not just a victorious return, but also a gain in the hearts of the people.

The few of them finally returned to the Baiguan Mansion, where the eldest prince had been waiting for a long time.

The door of the study was gently pushed open, and the figures of the two heroes came into the sight of the eldest prince.

At that moment, a long-lost smile broke out on the eldest prince's face, and his heart was filled with indescribable joy.

Because he knew that these two loyal ministers had successfully completed a difficult task and wiped out the Zhao spies lurking in the country in one fell swoop, which was a great contribution to national security.

"You have done a great job. I am proud to have subjects like you." The eldest prince's voice was filled with deep praise and gratitude. He stood up and personally greeted the two heroes.

Shang Shixu smiled slightly, her eyes gleaming with wisdom: "Your Highness, this is what we should do. For the country and for the people, we are willing to give everything."

Fang Chenglan stood in awe. His voice was deep and powerful. "Your Highness, we have only done our bit. The real victory is because of a wise leader like you."

The eldest prince nodded, and his gaze turned to the tied-up Wang Songneng, the traitor who had once betrayed his country.

Wang Songneng lowered his head, unable to look directly into the eldest prince's eyes.

"Wang Songneng, you betrayed your country and your people."

The eldest prince's voice was cold, but there was no anger in it, only deep sympathy for a lost soul.

"Do you admit your guilt?" The eldest prince's voice was low and powerful, and every word was like a needle striking Wang Songneng's heart.

Wang Songneng raised his head. His face looked haggard, but the cunning and ambition in his eyes remained the same: "Your Highness, I know my crime. But I don't regret it."

"Why? Why did you do this? You betrayed the country and betrayed your own oath!" The eldest prince's voice was full of anger and confusion.

Wang Songneng sneered, and a cunning look flashed in his eyes: "Because I crave power,

Power can give me everything I want.

In this world where the strong prey on the weak, only by holding power can you avoid being trampled upon by anyone."

The eldest prince shook his head, his heart filled with sorrow: "Power? Do you really think power can bring you happiness?

You don't understand that power is a responsibility and a burden. Your actions will only bring you endless pain and disaster."

Wang Songneng was unmoved, his eyes were firm and cold: "Your Highness, you live in the deep palace, how can you understand the pain and desire of us little people?

I just took my share. If not, I would have always been a nobody.”

The eldest prince sighed deeply. He knew that no amount of words could awaken the conscience of the man in front of him.

"Wang Songneng, your talent and wisdom could have made greater contributions to the country. But you chose the wrong path, which will be your eternal regret."

Wang Songneng disagreed. His eyes revealed a morbid persistence: "Regret? Maybe.

But it’s meaningless to say all this now. I just hope that through my actions, I can change my destiny.”

The eldest prince turned around and didn't look at Wang Songneng again. He knew very well that the man in front of him was beyond redemption.

He silently prayed for Wang Songneng in his heart, hoping that he could find inner peace in his final moments.

The eldest prince was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Your crime is unforgivable, but your family is innocent. I will ensure their safety. As for you, you will be judged according to the laws of Qi."

This moment is not only a trial for Wang Songneng, but also a warning to everyone.

Loyalty and betrayal, light and darkness, were all profoundly reflected at this moment.

If Wang Song were to be dragged down, only death would be waiting for him.

Finally, the eldest prince's eyes fell on the rescued women and children, whose eyes were full of hope for the future.

The eldest prince ordered that these innocent people be properly resettled so that they could find their own homes again in this land.

"Zesheng, you arrange where these women and children should go. Send those with families back home, and find jobs for those without families."
