"Master Vera, is everything ready?"

"Mmm." Vera's shallow eyes were full of smiles.

He seemed to have forgotten everything from yesterday.

Qin Susu greeted Apu and the other two familiarly.

The hundred or so soldiers behind Qiu Yan were filled with curiosity because of the foreign troops ahead.

Especially the camels beneath them,

Moreover, besides men and women, there were also monks.

Of course, what they were most curious about was Vera.

They couldn't tell which country Vera and his entourage belonged to.

People from the Central Plains often had difficulty recognizing people from foreign lands such as the Western Regions.

This morning, one strange thing after another happened.

Qiu Yan gave a brief introduction.

The group, heading northeast, moved swiftly forward.

...

Outside the capital of Qi,

Inside the tent, Gu Qian had been asleep for a day and a night and still hadn't woken up.

Ling Qi stayed by his side day and night, preparing medicine and decocting it according to the instructions of the military doctor.

"General, why aren't you awake yet?"

He spooned the medicinal soup in the bowl into Gu Qian's mouth, but the next moment, the soup flowed down Gu Qian's lips and down his neck.

The medicine simply wouldn't go down.

Ling Qi looked worried, her eyes were dark from lack of sleep.

Ling Yun and Ling Zhi were also by his side.

They arrived yesterday, accompanied by their soldiers.

The Northern Qi has now been divided between the Eastern Jin and Western Qin states... but that's not entirely true.

It should be said that of the once vast Northern Qi kingdom, only about half of its cities remained.

None of the cities conquered by the Western Qin survived intact; they were all burned to ashes.

The people suffered terribly; some died, and others fled.

Therefore, now, in the former Northern Qi Kingdom, one can see people fleeing everywhere.

At that moment, Qiu Dafu lifted the curtain and entered the tent, glancing at Gu Qian with concern.

He then turned around and went to fetch the army doctor.

The old military doctor entered, shook his head, and sighed.

"I am but a man of limited knowledge and learning."

There wasn't a single part of General Gu's body that was unharmed.

His legs and left arm were blown to pieces.

The old military doctor used only the best medicine.

The wound has healed somewhat, but he still hasn't woken up.

At the same time, he was also relieved.

Alone, only a general could have the ability to survive the combined pursuit of hundreds of thousands of Western Qin troops, who also possessed artillery.

If it were anyone else, they would have been reduced to ashes long ago.

Just then, the hurried footsteps of soldiers could be heard outside.

Immediately following was Captain Qin's urgent voice.

"Assemble the team!"

In the last battle, Commandant Qin and Ling Qi led their troops in pursuit, and with one mighty wave, they routed Xiao Han and his army, sending them fleeing in all directions.

Fearing the artillery fire of Dongjin, they suffered countless casualties, and most fled. In the end, only nearly 100,000 soldiers remained.

Of course, these nearly 100,000 soldiers were all former warriors of Western Qin.

Those soldiers who fled were all soldiers from various nations.

After all, people's hearts are not united.

But today, they are fearless and have attacked again.

Hearing the sound, Ling Qi stepped out of the tent and saw Captain Qin anxiously coming to find him.

He clasped his hands in a fist salute.

"Seventh Lieutenant General, please take good care of this place, General. When I lead my troops out, I will definitely bring back Qin Feng's head with my own hands!"

Originally, they escaped.

But now, they seem fearless and have attacked again.

Captain Qin is determined to take Qin Feng's head on this expedition.

He harbored hatred in his heart, and of course he wanted to avenge the general.

"Wait!" Ling Qi called out to Captain Qin.

The general's fate was uncertain, and how could he not feel resentment?

"Beware of their tricks!"
