Fu Pei rushed towards him, and Wei Jing had to catch him with his hands. Then he let go of him and tiptoed to the edge of the cliff.

It was only a delay of half a breath, but for masters like Wei Jing and Wei Xu, half a breath of time was already a long way off.

The cliff slopes vertically downward, neither high nor low, and you can vaguely see the bottom of the cliff as far as the eye can see. Wei Xu grew up among the strange peaks and steep mountains. He could walk through mountains and forests as if walking on flat ground. In just a short while, he lightly tapped the slightly protruding rocks and sparse small trees on the cliff with his toes, and with the help of the long python skin whip in his hand, he jumped down more than ten feet in an instant.

He swiftly changed targets with his whip and broke off the small tree that had been entangled with him. Without the sparse support points, the path became even more dangerous, so that even if Wei Jing wanted to chase him, he could not catch up with his speed.

There was no need for Wei Jing to put himself in danger.

He lowered his eyes and frowned, Wei Xu turned around and looked at him.

One was as sharp as cold lightning, the other was as cold and indifferent. Their eyes met and then separated. Wei Xu turned around and the dark figure quickly disappeared among the light clouds.

"My Lord, do you want to search the mountain?"

Han Xi caught up, glanced at the steep cliff and asked hurriedly.

Wei Jing shook his head: "No need."

Ordinary soldiers cannot find Wei Xu's skills, so there is no need to waste their efforts.

This person can only be put aside for the time being.

Wei Jing retracted his gaze and glanced coldly at the headless corpse of Prince An, which had died in a miserable state.

Prince An's head was no longer there. When Wei Xu jumped down, he swung the whip and took his head in his hand.

Maybe he wanted to commemorate someone.

Wei Jing was not clear about the inside story of Wei Xu, but he was inseparable from hatred. He had guessed why the other party repeatedly rescued Prince An and pushed him into the abyss again and again.

"Come here, grind this thief to dust."

Wei Jing was not happy that he failed to kill his mortal enemy. The cold and violent command made Fu Pei, who was lying limp on the ground, shiver.

Wei Jing saw it out of the corner of his eye and couldn't help but frown.

Fu Pei is almost fourteen years old. He looks only about eleven or twelve with his skinny body and pale and yellowish face. He knows that he has been rescued. There is hope and joy in his eyes, but more of it is fear. Several years of imprisonment without seeing the sun have completely worn out his courage.

Wei Jing glanced at him, and he subconsciously shrank back.

Wei Jing frowned even more tightly.

He had mixed feelings towards Fu Pei. On the one hand, he was happy that his uncle at least had a bloodline, so that his family would not be cut off; but on the other hand, he hated Meng's Fu Yun.

What Meng and Fu Yun did had worn away some of his emotions. When he saw Fu Pei, he couldn't help but think of his mother and sister.

Although they could no longer be closer, Wei Jing's affection for his uncle had not diminished in the slightest.

"Take the person back."

I didn't understand him at first, and he had been in the hands of the enemy for many years. I didn't know what he looked like now. Could I ever turn him around?

Just observe first. If he is simply cowardly, he will make proper arrangements for him even for the sake of his uncle.

The battle on the banks of the Yellow River was almost over, and Wei Jing still had a lot of things to deal with, so he was silent for a moment and stopped.

…

The battle on the south bank of the Yellow River had indeed come to an end. Several generals, along with "Prince An", had been killed in battle. The Allied forces had completely collapsed. The remaining soldiers were in chaos and fled for their lives. Those who could not escape dropped their weapons and surrendered.

Wei Jing ordered to collect the surrendered soldiers and clean up the battlefield.

After the order was given, the battlefield immediately started moving. He sat on his horse and looked around, his sight heading north of the Yellow River.

The sky was shrouded in dusk, and with the last rays of sunset, a long black line appeared on the north bank of the Yellow River.

Thousands of miles away from Hebei.

As he looked north, he heard the sound of horse hooves. Du Yong, a personal soldier, rode over and said, "My lord, there's a letter from the lady!"

Wei Jing quickly withdrew his mind from military affairs. He took the letter and opened it. It turned out that Shao Qing, his daughter, Kou Xuan and others were advancing northward and had already gone out of the pass to Gaoping.

He was delighted.

He was not in a hurry about Hebei, as the allied forces had been completely defeated, the overall situation had been decided, and the two states of Hebei were nothing but his possessions.

Now I have some free time, so I can go back to visit my wife and daughter.

…

Our side won a great victory, completely defeated the allied forces, and wiped out all the allied leaders. The five states of Yu, Yan, Xu, Bing and Ji were now in Wei Jing's pocket.

Not only the North-South War, but also the overall situation of the world was basically established.

The moment he received the good news, Shao Qing's eyes were filled with tears.

It has been more than five years, and I have encountered too many hardships and obstacles along the way. Today, I have finally overcome them.

She heard the cheers of the crowd, wiped the tears from her eyes and smiled.

My heart is racing and I’m cheering, but after the excitement, there are still many things that need to be dealt with.

The first one is the area around Gangling.

Although the Fire Bull Formation rescued in time, there were still many refugees injured or killed. There is also the Panshui South Dike. Although the hole is not big, it needs to be repaired as soon as possible. The water level of the Xiaxun River has risen sharply, otherwise there will be a risk of further and major flooding.

Shao Qing and his party rushed to Gaoping City, the closest city to Gangling, to organize manpower to repair the levee and to rescue and resettle a large number of refugees nearby.

Wei Jing returned on horseback.

Passing through Gangling, the handling was nearing completion. The deep pits and long trenches dug that day had been filled back, and the refugees and cattle carcasses that unfortunately died had been buried, leaving only charred remains everywhere.

There were still quite a few refugees here, some of whom accepted arrangements to deal with the scene together, and some were crying bitterly around the big grave.

Hearing the sound of galloping horses, he looked back and saw a group of cavalrymen rushing towards him.

The cavalry warriors were neatly dressed in armor, and although they were few in number, they looked very imposing. The elite soldiers in black armor tightly surrounded the leading horse, led by a young general in silver armor, who was tall, agile and majestic.

"This is His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi!"

Someone shouted.

Everyone was surprised and happy. His Royal Highness the King of Qi was so kind. The Fire Bull Formation saved them from the brink of death. He also filled the dam, treated the wounded, and resettled the refugees.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness!"

Ordinary people didn’t know how to express themselves generously. They bowed down in excitement, but all said in unison, “Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness!”

The shouts echoed between the mountain walls, and Wei Jing nodded in greeting.

He felt even happier, and missed his wife and daughter terribly. He rode his horse quickly across the Gang Mountains and headed for Gaoping City.

Shao Qing had already received the news. She was also worried about him and could not sit still, so she handed Jiu'er to Sun and rushed to the top of the city to wait.

While everyone was eagerly waiting here, Wei Jing had already seen Gaoping City from afar.

A line of dust rose in the distance. Shao Qing squinted his eyes to see clearly and was overjoyed. He hurried around. Wei Jing arrived quickly, dismounted from his horse, and rushed to the top of the city wall.

"Husband!"

"Ah Qing!"

Their hearts were beating fast, they hadn't seen each other for a long time. She didn't care that he was covered in dust, and he didn't care that he was in public, and the couple hugged each other tightly.

The cold and hard armor hurt the face, and there was a smell of blood, dust, and profuse sweat.

If you keep it like this in the hot summer, it will go bad, right?

But she smiled sweetly, hugged him tightly, and took a deep breath of his fresh breath. His heart beat strongly right beside her face.

The couple did not forget that they were outside, and they couldn't help but hug each other for a while, then separated. One of them lowered his head, and then raised it, staring at each other without blinking.

She smiles like a flower.

He was beaming with joy.

Shao Qing took out a silk handkerchief and carefully wiped the sweat and dust off his face, feeling happy and distressed. "Why are you in such a hurry? It doesn't matter if you come later."

Wei Jing smiled but said nothing, and asked, "Where is Xu'er?"

"The little girl is sleeping. My mother is taking care of her."

Now that they had arrived, Wei Jing thought that he was in no hurry to go back to see his daughter. It was true that he missed his daughter, but it was rare for a couple to be alone together.

Gaoping City is backed by Yunyi Mountain and faces the eastern plains. At this moment, the sky is filled with sunset glow. Standing high on the city wall and overlooking the plains, the sky is high and the land is vast, and his heart is relaxed. He simply holds his wife's hand and walks slowly to the battlements.

There was a bustling crowd outside the city, with a large number of refugees sitting or standing, extending for several miles away.

Gaoping City is not big, but there are many refugees who need to be resettled. More and more refugees who have heard the news are rushing in, and they have no choice but to focus on the injured, and the rest are temporarily arranged to stay outside the city.

"We will temporarily place them there, register them first, and then re-measure the land, check the fish scale register, and then divide the land among the households. We should be able to catch up with the autumn ploughing season."

The couple held hands intimately and whispered. When Shao Qing saw Wei Jing looking around at the refugees under the city, he casually told him about the next official arrangements.

Wei Jing nodded: "There is order in order, so there is no chaos in the busyness."

Distributing the land in advance will bring a lot of trouble to subsequent work. The refugees need to hold out for a while longer so that the subsequent work can be carried out in an orderly manner.

Shao Qing smiled and said, "Yes."

In fact, the refugees below did not feel hardship. On the contrary, they were very happy and excited.

Yes, the people of Yu and Yan states, who had suffered from the Yellow River bursting its banks and years of war, finally saw the dawn of stability.

In the near future, the occasional small-scale outbreaks of plague will eventually disappear. They work from sunrise to sunset and rest from sunset to sunrise. The Yellow River embankment will also be reinforced, and this land will be revitalized.

"Well, the Yellow River embankment should indeed be rebuilt. The Yellow River is unruly, so we should control it by widening the river and trapping the sand."

Speaking of the wide river and the stagnant sand, one can't help but think of the former crown prince, Wei Jing's brother, who worked hard for many years for the Yellow River, but ultimately failed at the hands of Wei Xian.

He pursed his lips.

Suddenly he recalled a conversation between the brothers. He returned to the northern border, while his brother went out of Luojing to inspect the river bank in person. They traveled the same distance.

After the brothers finished looking at the levee, they stood side by side. The elder brother looked across the river towards Hebei, then looked around and said with a smile, "I have no long-term ambitions. I only hope that the government will be clean and the people will live in peace."

The clear male voice is still ringing in my ears, but unfortunately things and people have changed now.

Wei Jing felt a little uncomfortable.

"Of course. Although my brother is no longer with us, his ambition lives on. You can continue it for him."

Shao Qing had already heard about what happened in front of the Fire Bull Formation. Wei Jing's wounds gradually healed, and he finally came out.

She was filled with joy.

Shao Qing took his hand and said softly, "This is also your wish, isn't it?"

Yes.

This is the ambition of the two brothers.

Wei Jing suddenly recalled his old ambitions, to first repel foreign aggression and then stabilize domestic situation, to quell the rebellions in both the north and south of the Yangtze River and to save the people from dire straits.

He smiled and said, “Okay!”

Long-lost memories, when great changes began, Wei Jing never thought that one day he would remember his past ambitions and be determined to continue working hard for them.

He stroked his wife's face gently, "Thank you, A-Qing."

Because of her.

All the past events seemed like yesterday. His eyes felt slightly warm. He held her in his arms and gave her a gentle kiss on the top of her head.

"Thank you for what?"

She nuzzled his chest, looked up at him, and winked playfully, "Didn't you tell us that we're not allowed to say thank you?"

Shao Qing smiled happily: "I am happy."

Finally we won a great victory, and the days of anxiety are finally over.

She stroked his face. Wei Jing looked very heroic in armor, but she would rather not see him in armor.

"Um."

Wei Jing grabbed her hand, placed it on his lips and kissed it, "It will be over soon."

Yes, it will be over soon.

Yu, Yan and Xu are already under his feet, and he hopes to take them at any time. Just now he received news that Gan Yuan of Youzhou sent an envoy to surrender.

Wei Jing hugged his wife, patted her back gently, and looked towards the west.

There is only one place between the north and the south of the world.

Sizhou.

emperor.
