After crossing, I surrounded the capital from the countryside

Although he always quarreled and bickered with Bao Bao because of Qingqing, he really treated Bao Baoyun, who was very kind to Qingqing, as a family member.

He tried to comfort Shen Qingqing, but his voice was choked with sobs and he couldn't speak.

He could only silently reach out his hand, gently hold Shen Qingqing and the baby in his arms, and give her a little comfort with his body temperature and strength.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and everything around became blurry and distant. Only Shen Qingqing's crying and Xiao Yuheng's soothing voice intertwined, echoing in this space shrouded in sadness.

Just as Shen Qingqing was immersed in the pain of losing her baby, the formation was completely broken, and the system cheered as it flew out of the cage that trapped it and rushed towards Shen Qingqing.

The moment 111 entered Shen Qingqing's mind, it exchanged the pill on its own and appeared in Shen Qingqing's hands.

Shen Qingqing picked up the pills and fed a few to herself and Xiao Yuheng.

In an instant, the injuries and internal energy of both men recovered more than half.

Li Feng was hit by a powerful backlash force at the moment the formation collapsed, and the whole person flew out and fell heavily to the ground. He vomited blood, his eyes full of unwillingness and despair.

He knew that he was completely defeated.

Shen Qingqing and Xiao Yuheng looked at Li Feng lying on the ground, without any joy in their hearts.

The two of them looked at the fallen Northern Barbarian soldiers around them. Even though they were opponents, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts at this moment.

The Northern Barbarian soldiers on the outermost perimeter also stopped vomiting blood at this moment. Although most of their vitality was lost, they at least saved their lives.

The Great Zhou army used weapons to hold these people under control to prevent these northern barbarians from rebelling again.

The next second, Shen Qingqing locked her eyes on Li Feng who was trying to escape not far away.

Li Feng was trying to flee the scene with a terrified look on his face.

"Li Feng, you can't escape!" Shen Qingqing's voice was as cold as ice, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, filled with endless hatred.

She flashed and appeared in front of Li Feng like a ghost in an instant, at a speed that was astonishing.

Seeing this, Li Feng's face changed drastically. He tried to struggle desperately, but Shen Qingqing had already locked him firmly.

There was no hesitation in her eyes, the weapon in her hand flashed with cold light, and she went straight for Li Feng's vital points.

"No! Don't kill me!" Li Feng shouted desperately, but it was too late. Shen Qingqing's knife fell cleanly without any hesitation.

Li Feng's body fell down, his eyes full of unwillingness and fear.

Shen Qingqing stood there, looking at Li Feng's body, but she didn't feel the slightest bit of pleasure in her heart.

She knew that this would not bring the baby back to life, nor would it make up for the pain and loss she had endured.

But she had to do it for justice, for the innocent victims, and for future peace in the world.

Xiao Yuheng walked silently to Shen Qingqing. He didn't say much, but just patted her shoulder gently, giving her silent support and comfort.

The two stood side by side, staring into the distance in a daze.

After a while, Lu Zhenting approached the two people. He didn't know what had happened exactly, but he knew that the two people didn't look well at the moment.

Shen Qingqing and Xiao Yuheng approached the baby's body, took a deep breath, and held back tears. Shen Qingqing held the baby in her arms.

But the moment she hugged the baby's soft body, Shen Qingqing could no longer control her tears and burst out.

Tears fell on the baby's body, and suddenly, the baby's body began to emit a faint, soft light from the places where the tears fell.

The light was just a faint circle at first, but it soon spread out and completely enveloped the baby.

The tears in Shen Qingqing's eyes stopped abruptly. She stared at the scene with wide eyes in disbelief. Xiao Yuheng's eyes also flickered slightly.

The light grew brighter and warmer, like a call from another world.

Under the shining light, the baby's body began to become blurry and transparent, as if it was gently lifted up by an invisible force and slowly rising.

Shen Qingqing stretched out her hand to grab something, but her fingertips could only touch nothingness.

She watched the baby's body dissipate into the air bit by bit, and finally turned into countless tiny points of light and drifted away with the wind.

These spots of light circled and danced in the air, as if saying goodbye to Shen Qingqing and Xiao Yuheng, or as if expressing some unfulfilled wishes.

They flew higher and higher, and farther and farther, until they completely disappeared from sight, leaving only a faint, warm afterglow.

Shen Qingqing stood there in a daze, tears blurring her eyes again.

But this time, an indescribable sense of peace and relief surged in her heart.

She thought, maybe the baby had not really left them, and they might really be able to meet again and accompany each other through every day of the future.

Xiao Yuheng gently held Shen Qingqing's hand, and the two looked at each other and saw the same thought in each other's eyes.

……

With the defeat of the Northern Barbarian Army, the entire grassland fell into unprecedented turmoil. Helian Temujin, the once powerful king of the Northern Barbarians, did not die at the hands of the enemy, but died under Li Feng's insidious and cunning scheme. How ridiculous, this was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Northern Barbarian tribe.

The death of Helian Temujin not only made the Northern Barbarians lose a powerful leader, but also made people in various tribes become uneasy, and the former unity and alliance began to disintegrate.

The Northern Barbarians are plagued by internal conflicts, and various tribes are caught up in infighting in order to gain power and resources.

At the same time, the Great Zhou Dynasty took the opportunity to launch a fierce offensive, pursuing the victory and launching a full-scale pursuit of the Northern Barbarians.

Relying on its powerful strength and sophisticated equipment, the Great Zhou army was unstoppable and invincible in the territory of the Northern Barbarians.

Faced with the powerful offensive of the Great Zhou, the tribes of the Northern Barbarians could no longer maintain their former arrogance.

They chose to surrender or were defeated by the Great Zhou army in battle.

Finally, under the continuous pursuit of the Great Zhou, the territories of the Northern Barbarians were recovered one by one, and each tribe was incorporated into the territory of the Great Zhou.

From then on, the Great Zhou Dynasty achieved the feat of unifying the world, and the entire Great Zhou officially ushered in a period of peace and stability.

……

Shen Qingqing and Xiao Yuheng, dressed in battle robes and covered in dust, returned to the capital with the Great Zhou army in a mighty procession.

Zhou Shiyuan sat upright on the dragon throne, looking at Shen Qingqing with eyes full of admiration.

"My dear ministers, you have worked hard." Zhou Shiyuan's voice was gentle but powerful. After rewarding the generals according to the rules, he raised his eyes and looked at Shen Qingqing and Xiao Yuheng.

"I originally wanted to give you high positions and generous salaries, but I also know that you may have other ambitions in your hearts."

Shen Qingqing and Xiao Yuheng smiled at each other. There was no need for any words to describe their tacit understanding.
