The man was dressed in dark black armor, more than eight feet tall, holding a spear in his hand. He was like the god of death, ruthlessly reaping the lives of the Bei Zhai soldiers!

Blood splattered everywhere!

There was no trace of fluctuation on the man's angular face, as if he was just an emotionless killing machine!

He exudes primitive wild charm and irresistible majesty!

At this time, Zheng Dinglian pulled the reins of his horse, raised the spear in his hand, and declared in a deep and magnetic voice, full of strong deterrence: "Those who surrender will be spared!"

Zheng Dinglian's voice was like a thunderous explosion, and it seemed to ring the death knell of the war!

In an instant, a raging flame surged in the hearts of the Western Wei soldiers, and they responded excitedly.

The sound was uniform, like the sound of heaven, shocking people's hearts, as if it traveled thousands of miles and made the whole earth tremble!

The soldiers of Bei Zhai had already lost their fighting spirit. After hearing this, they hesitated for a moment, and then they all dropped their weapons and knelt down to surrender.

In a blink of an eye!

All Bei Zhai soldiers surrendered!

The fierce fighting over the past few days has made them deeply afraid of this man who is like a god of war, and they no longer have the strength to fight!

For them, surrender seemed like a relief.

The soldiers of the Western Wei Dynasty rushed forward without hesitation, tied them up one by one, and then burst into warm cheers!

"Victory!!!"

At the same time, many soldiers rushed towards the tall and majestic figure, lifted him up high, and cheered in unison:

"Prince Duan!!!"

Zheng Dinglian was thrown into the air. He looked at the dark clouds dispersing and the clear blue sky revealing a hint of blue. A smile involuntarily appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Shortly after.

Inside the tent.

Zheng Dinglian was shirtless, allowing the military doctor to carefully treat his wounds.

All it took was one look for everyone to feel sorry for him!

His strong chest and back were covered with both new and old scars!

These scars are like marks of his military exploits, showing the life and death trials he has gone through over the years.

Zheng Dinglian calmly let the military doctor treat his wound. He glanced at the letter in his hand, and a deep cold light flashed in his eyes.

The personal guard Ling Ji standing next to him had skin tanned to a coal-black color, and it seemed as if only a pair of bright pupils remained on his face.

Ling Ji saw Zheng Dinglian reading the letter and recognized it was from Gu Qinlan. He could not help but said indignantly:

"Your Highness, if the new princess really has a lover, why would she give herself to you? The old princess's behavior is really puzzling. She actually chose such a restless woman for you. I think Miss Xiao..."

Before he finished speaking, Zheng Dinglian raised his cold gaze and looked directly at Ling Ji.

At that moment, the pressure was like a violent storm, and Ling Ji felt as if an invisible hand had grabbed his throat. He quickly stopped talking and remained silent.

"If you dare to criticize the princess, you will receive thirty military sticks."

Zheng Dinglian's voice was light and casual, as if he was just narrating daily trivialities. However, the words that came out of his mouth made Ling Ji's eyes widen, with an expression of incredible grievance on his face, and he muttered in a low voice:

"I, I didn't say anything wrong..."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Dinglian raised a cold smile, looked Ling Ji up and down, and said in an extremely cold tone:

"Do you think everyone is as ignorant as you?"

Ling Ji was hurt by Zheng Dinglian's rebuke. His eyes widened and he stared at Zheng Dinglian with a feeling of grievance. Is he... really that stupid?

Zheng Dinglian gently put the letter aside, tapped his fingers on the table, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said slowly with a hint of joking tone:

"This princess of mine is extremely wise."

Although Zheng Dinglian had never met Gu Qinlan, he had a deep understanding of Du Yu.

Du Yusheng is a man who has devoted all his attention to the research of medicine. It is impossible for him to easily get involved in the emotional world of a woman, let alone someone else's wife.

Plus……

This time, Bei Zhai unexpectedly obtained a batch of sophisticated weapons. They had already been involved in a tough battle and suffered heavy losses in weapons.

If Marquis Dingyuan had not delivered those high-quality weapons in time, even if we had won, it would probably have been a pyrrhic victory.

Zheng Dinglian had met Marquis Dingyuan once before and knew that he was a thoughtful person but lacked great wisdom.

If there wasn't someone advising him behind the scenes, he would probably have difficulty leaving the capital, and those weapons would have been destroyed long ago!

The only one who can give advice to Marquis Dingyuan is the new princess, Gu Qinlan.

With this inference, even though Zheng Dinglian had not yet met Gu Qinlan, he already knew that his princess was no ordinary person.

Therefore, in the palace's accounts, the funds he had withdrawn specifically for Gu Qinlan were simply a piece of cake...

Ling Ji felt distressed when he saw that Zheng Dinglian did not explain much, but he could only accept the punishment helplessly.

After Ling Ji left, another young-looking guard, Lou Yongqi, who was carrying two swords, smiled and said lightly:

"Master, you have really suffered a lot. Ling Ji is such a fool. Even if Gu Qinlan clearly expressed her desire to marry him, he still didn't understand her intentions. What about other things?"

Lou Yongqi is Lou Donglei's son. He has always been loyal to Zheng Dinglian and is considered one of Zheng Dinglian's confidants along with Ling Ji.

Zheng Dinglian heard this, a warm smile flashed in his eyes, and he slowly spoke:

"The world is now at peace. Now that we are back in the capital, it's time for Ling Ji to start a family and build a career."

Lou Yongqi sighed and said, "I'm afraid that returning to the capital will only make things even more chaotic."

Zheng Dinglian was a man of insight and knew Lou Yongqi's worries very well.

Thousands of miles away, he has been plotted against countless times by the power-seekers in the capital. His return with great achievements will undoubtedly attract more greedy eyes. How can he have peace?

What Zheng Dinglian was even more concerned about was the safety of Prince Duan's Mansion.

In order to kill him, those conspirators even resorted to unscrupulous means to destroy the weapons. It can be seen that their ambition was not only to put him to death, but also to seize this military achievement.

On second thought, they originally wanted to use weapons to harm him, but failed. Will they change their strategy and take other measures?

Thinking of this, Zheng Dinglian felt even more heavy-hearted.

The court is full of twists and turns, and I don't know what kind of turmoil this trip back to the capital will cause.

As for the new princess his mother had brought him... although he had not yet met her, he already had respect for her. If she were to be involved in this dispute, it would be a great injustice to her...

Perhaps, after returning to the capital, he should discuss with the new princess. If she has no intention of getting involved in this vortex, he can also untie her in advance and give her freedom...

Just as Zheng Dinglian was deep in thought, he suddenly let out a muffled groan and his face turned pale in an instant!

When he lowered his head, he found that the military doctor who was treating his wound had actually put a bug in his wound!

Half of the worm's body had already drilled into the flesh, and the hind half of its legs were still struggling desperately, as if it was eager to drill completely into the body!
