Xiangping, the temporary headquarters of the military commander.

“Judging by the days, Wang Tian and the others have been gone for about two months. Will they not be able to return until winter?” Wang Jian looked at the withered yellow leaves falling outside the window, a hint of anxiety on his face.

"What?" The wicked man chuckled, his tone somewhat mocking. "Even our Supreme General can't resist anymore, thinking about going back to collect his reward for conquering two nations?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Jian blushed and snorted, "Who isn't anxious? I can still hold back, but the soldiers are about to lose their temper."

The wicked man thought it made sense, so he immediately summoned Zhang Erhe and asked him to send out scouts to look for Wang Tian and the others, so as to find out when they would return.

Just then, Zhang Erhe arrived. "Grand Commandant, there's news! We have news from General Wang..."

These words surprised Wang Jian and his wicked husband. People really can't be talked to properly!

Wang Jian and the wicked husband exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise and anticipation in each other's eyes. The wicked husband coughed and urged, "Erhe, tell me quickly, what news is it?"

Zhang Erhe looked solemn and clasped his hands in a fist and said, "General Wang Tian sent someone to report that he had slaughtered eighteen Donghu tribes and taken 100,000 heads. He is currently leading his army back to Xiangping."

"Really?" Wang Jian suddenly perked up, his anxious expression turning into excitement. "Good, Wang Tian is finally back. I've been longing to go home for so long."

Well, upon hearing that Wang Tian was coming back, Wang Jian was so excited that he stopped pretending!

The wicked man raised an eyebrow, his tone calm but unable to hide his satisfaction: "I knew he could do it. Before he left, he swore that he would not return to camp until the blood feud was settled. Now that the time has come, he can return just in time for the winter chill."

Wang Jian recalled Wang Tian's honest face and couldn't help but sigh, "That kid always had such an honest face and a harmless smile, but I never expected... he's really ruthless!"

The wicked man smiled faintly and said, "A true Chinese man should carry a sword, slay barbarians, and protect his homeland and the world!"

Wang Jian shook his head and laughed, "You, anyone who follows you will turn into a fierce tiger or wolf. But that's how it should be. Well done, let's see if those barbarians still dare to covet my China."

Regarding internal wars, Wang Jian always adhered to the principle of only killing the king and trying his best not to commit too much bloodshed. However, he showed no mercy to foreign tribes, which was consistent with the evil husband's idea.

"Alright!" the wicked man said. "Since General Wang Tian is about to return victorious, you will lead a hundred men to meet him. I will personally go out of the city to greet him. Also, inform the people in the city of this event and spread the news throughout the land!"

"The day Wang Tian returns will be the day when the streets of Xiangping are deserted, and these Yan people will surely be grateful." The wicked man's lips curled up slightly, revealing a hint of a smile.

Zhang Erhe accepted the order in a deep voice, his eyes also revealing a hint of envy. Such a scene was a rare sight in his life!

........

Two days later at noon, Xiangping City was deserted.

The reason for this was that Wang Tian was about to lead his troops back, and they went out of the city with the wicked man to welcome him. To them, Wang Tian was a great benefactor who had avenged their blood feud.

The wicked man and Wang Jian stood side by side outside Xiangping City. Looking out, the open field was teeming with people, with even strong men and young women carrying banners and waiting with their children on the outskirts.

From top to bottom, soldiers and commoners alike flocked out of the city to welcome Wang Tian's triumphant return.

"Grand Commandant, dust is rising in the distance. General Wang Tian and his men must be arriving soon." Zhang Erhe squinted at the scene, his voice full of anticipation.

Wang Jian nodded noncommittally: "Judging from this scene, it's very similar to when I led my army back to Xianyang. Only this time it's even more magnificent! It's truly awe-inspiring."

The wicked man's lips curled into a slight smile as he gently stroked the sword at his waist: "This journey is not only to avenge our blood feud, but also to uphold the prestige of our Chinese nation. Wang Tian's massacre will be enough to terrify the other barbarians and allow the people of the city to avenge their blood feud. Naturally, this will be different from the past."

As they were talking, they saw a dense formation of soldiers in black armor appearing in the distance amidst the yellow sand, with the thunderous sound of horses' hooves and battle flags raised high.

The leading general, clad in armor that gleamed in the sunlight, had a simple, honest smile on his face, but an invisible aura of menace emanated from his brows.

"It's General Wang Tian!" Zhang Erhe exclaimed in a low voice, clenching his fist.

A burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted from the crowd. Many Yan people waved their arms excitedly, and some even covered their faces and sobbed, "General Wang Tian is back... He has avenged our blood feud...!"

As Wang Tian's army gradually approached, Efu and the others fell silent, their eyes fixed on the slowly advancing army.

Wang Tian dismounted, a smile on his face, and strode over. He clasped his hands in salute and replied loudly, "Grand Commandant, I have lived up to your expectations! I slaughtered eighteen tribes of Donghu and took 100,000 heads. It's just that the journey was long and I was a little late, which made you wait a long time."

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding area was filled with cheers and the sound of gongs and drums. The people of Yan swarmed over, almost drowning out Wang Tian's figure.

Some elderly men were even in tears, prostrating themselves on the ground and kowtowing repeatedly: "Thank you, General, for avenging us! My wish in this life has finally been fulfilled."

Wang Tian was momentarily at a loss for words at this scene. He scratched his head sheepishly and repeatedly advised, "There's no need for this. This is the duty of the soldiers of our Great Qin. If any foreign tribe dares to trample on China, we will naturally step forward without hesitation!"

Wang Jian stroked his beard as he watched this scene, feeling gratified and also looking at Wang Tian with new respect. This young man had once been nothing more than a surrendered general of the Yan state, but now he had achieved such merit, greatly boosting the morale of the army and the people.

"Alright, alright, everyone calm down, don't crush our hero to death!" the wicked man shouted, relieving Wang Tian's embarrassment. The crowd quickly dispersed, bursting into laughter.

The wicked man led his generals forward on horseback and said loudly, "Wang Tian, ​​today you have returned in triumph, and I, the Grand Commandant, shall celebrate your victory! Come with us to Xiangping first."

"In the future, I, the Grand Commandant, will make the whole world know what great deeds you, Wang Tian, ​​have done for our China!"

In an instant, the sound of gongs and drums resounded through the sky.

Wang Tian slowly followed the evil man and others toward the Xiangping city gate. The people on both sides cheered and swarmed to see the fierce army stained with the blood of the Donghu.

With smiles on their faces, the soldiers strode confidently behind them into the city, their armor reflecting a blinding glint in the sunlight, bearing witness to this fierce yet awe-inspiring battle.

"Look, this is the spirit of Chinese men!" Wang Jian said silently to the side of the group, "This moment is also a testament to the unyielding spirit of our Great Qin."

Erniu suddenly blurted out, "These are all Qin people, what does it have to do with the other six states? The six states don't have the spirit of Qin people. Those kings only know how to scheme and fight for power all day long, they don't care about the lives of the people."
