"No! Your Highness, you must think of your health. You finally woke up..."

"How dare you! You don't even listen to me anymore?"

Qin Yue Zhao coldly rebuked, "Not only will I personally carry General Nan's coffin, but I will also let everyone see how the Huo family army treats its allies and how it avenges General Nan!"

Looking at Huo Tingye, his voice suddenly turned cold: "Set up a mourning hall for the Southern General in the General's Mansion, and bring up the Northern Barbarian prisoners and that beast Huo Zichu!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Tingye, who had been preparing to object, suddenly realized something and quickly retreated.

Before long, white silk ribbons and brocades were hung all over the General's Mansion, from the main gate and stone platform to the eaves.

In the brightly lit mourning hall, General Nan's coffin and memorial tablet were placed.

The blood-red character for "sacrifice" was painted on the back wall, and white paper wreaths and paper figures with painted blush filled the inside and outside of the mourning hall.

A cold wind swept through the sand and dust, enveloping the entire mourning hall in a profound and somber atmosphere.

The sound of several Huo family soldiers whispering could be heard not far away.

"Liangcheng finally won a battle, and before we could even celebrate, Your Highness is holding such a grand funeral for the Southern Army, which has made no contribution, on this joyous day."

"That's right! We won this battle ourselves, what does it have to do with the Nan family? Besides, that Nan Chengfeng is a traitor, and General Nan is the father of a traitor."

"The whole country is suffering from famine, and we have already done more than enough by letting them eat and drink in the city."

Just then, a loud shout came from behind: "Shut up!"

When the soldiers saw Qin Yue Zhao, they all knelt down and cheered loudly.

"Long live Your Highness!"

Qin Yue Zhao, clad in armor, stared at the crowd like the Grim Reaper.

"Which soldier was gossiping just now? Stand before me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Chunsheng clasped his hands in a fist and bowed, saying unwillingly, "Your Highness, this humble general is just feeling uncomfortable!"

"Back when General Huo passed away, no mourning hall was set up. We've already done more than enough by helping the Southern Army rescue their commander. Now, the food and drink are all provided by the Huo family army, and yet..."

"Shut up!" Qin Yue Zhao then recognized that the speaker was Huo Chunsheng, the military camp's grain transport officer.

Two years ago, when he was helping the army transport grain, he was attacked by the northern barbarians and his leg was cut off, so he walks with a limp.

But she can't indulge him because of that.

"Huo Chunsheng, as a member of the Huo family, don't you even have the most basic tolerance and understanding?"

"General Nan was a renowned general of the Great Khanate. He was cruelly murdered because he resisted the Northern Barbarians and refused to ally with them!"

"The Nan family army once fought alongside the Huo family army. Today, I set up this mourning hall to tell everyone that the Huo family army and the Nan family army are one family. General Nan died tragically, and I am determined to avenge him!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Tingye brought up the Northern Barbarian prisoners.

Behind them followed Shen Nuo and dozens of generals from the Southern Family Army.

In an instant, Huo Chunsheng's gaze shifted from Qin Yuezhao to Huo Zichu.

"Damn it, Huo Zichu, you beast, give me back my son's life!"

He suddenly stood up, waving his fists and charging upwards.

However, due to his leg problems, Huo Tingye stopped him before he even got close.

"Huo Chunsheng, His Highness has his own decision; do not act rashly!"

Huo Chunsheng's son was a soldier guarding the city gate, but he was cruelly murdered by Huo Zichu.

Therefore, he equally hated all the Northern Barbarians, as well as the traitors who helped the Northern Barbarians and the Southern Army.

Qin Yue Zhao knew his pain, so she didn't make things difficult for him, and only asked Huo Ting Ye to block him behind her.

Huo Zichu scoffed coldly upon seeing this.

"Ha, Qin Yue Zhao, what kind of master-servant affection are you putting on? Dare to say you're not just putting on an act for the Nan family army, just like when you killed my elder brother?"

Upon hearing this, one of the lieutenants who knew the truth couldn't help but draw his sword.

"Your Highness, let me kill this treacherous and ungrateful beast!"

"If it weren't for your selfless act of sacrificing your own family back then, the entire Huo family would have suffered. Huo Zichu truly deserves to die!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Zichu laughed fearlessly.

"Hahaha, sacrificing family for the greater good? I think you're all Qin Yuezhao's accomplices!"
