Qin San Lang returns with wounded soldiers, presenting the head of the enemy general Leimuqin. Despite initial reservations about his methods, the generals acknowledge the necessity of his actions. General Liang reveals that Qin San Lang's wife, Gu Jinli, developed an antidote for the Rong bandits' poisonous insects, saving Xing'an Prefecture. The formula is to be presented to the Emperor, earning merit for the Kangrong Soldiers. Duan Changling's jealousy and accusations are dismissed, and Qin San Lang is praised for his bravery and fortunate marriage.

Qin San Lang did not immediately take it, but was stunned, with excitement and gratitude in his eyes: "General?"

General Cheng saw this and was even more satisfied.

He is a general, already over forty years old, and has seen many young military generals with great abilities in his lifetime. But those military generals never last long; either they use their military merits to oppose their superiors and get taken down by them, or they think themselves highly skilled and start acting recklessly, some even seeing a beautiful girl, break into civilian homes, and seize the beauties, thereby ending their career paths.

This Qin San Lang seems to be an honest man, and he respects his superiors greatly. Hopefully, he won’t get confused over other matters and ruin his future.

"What General? Your own achievements, hold them steady!" General Cheng stuffed Leimuqin’s head into Qin San Lang’s hand.

Qin San Lang hurriedly received it, with a serious expression, solemnly saying: "Yes, low-level general will strictly obey the general’s orders!"

General Cheng nodded, raised his hand to point to the front: "Let’s go."

Qin San Lang: "General, let us go together."

General Cheng, after all, is a general, much higher in rank than him, this kind of courteous talk must be said.

General Cheng heard this, raised his brows, did not refuse, and nodded: "Let’s go!"

The two rode at the forefront of the army, making Duan Changling behind them jealous but not daring to say anything sarcastic, lest he gets replied by the generals again.

Bang bang bang!

"Good news, good news! Company Commander Qin from He’an Prefecture killed the enemy commander, carrying the head into the city!" Government officials beat drums and ran while shouting, their voices high-pitched, filled with excitement and joy, shouting until their voices went hoarse but still continued shouting, fearing the citizens inside the city would not hear.

The citizens of the prefecture city had already heard the news of the great victory, seeing the sky brighten, they rushed out with their families to welcome the soldiers.

"We won, we won, everyone don’t be scared; the news is true, come out quickly, we really won!"

"Where is the enemy commander’s head? Did our soldiers really behead the enemy commander’s head?"

"Where is it? Have you seen it? Among the leading generals, one of them is holding it!"

"Who are you fooling? That’s clearly just a helmet!"

"Ah, you blind fool, there’s a human head inside that helmet, haven’t you seen it?"

"Oh God, there really is a head... Does that mean we really won? We actually could win?!"

"What do you mean? How can you say we actually could win? We’ve been slaughtered by the Rong people in three cities, and we’re not allowed to win once?"

"You’re saying we’ve been slaughtered by the Rong people in three cities, which proves our soldiers are weak, so I think it’s normal to feel we can’t win this time." The person said earlier, muttering again: "Our soldiers are truly bad, suddenly achieving a victory, anyone would be suspicious~"

The big drum on the city tower had been beaten for an hour, that’s the drum of victory, but why did no one dare to come out and see? Wasn’t it because they thought Great Chu’s soldiers were too bad, thinking the drumbeat was made by mistake, hence no one dared to come out.

Now everyone ran out, it was because the government officials and Lei Family’s Trading Team went to knock on the doors of citizens along the street, verbally telling them the Rong people had been driven away, everyone then dared to come out to see.

They only dared to risk coming out for a look after seeing more people ran out cheering.

"Is this the great hero who beheaded the enemy commander?!"

The government officials replied: "Indeed, this Company Commander disguised himself as a Rong person, and among tens of thousands of troops, he severed the Rong bandit general’s head, quite amazing!"

"Oh, this is too amazing."

"Not only amazing, but he is also handsome, judging by his age he must be unmarried. Our Xu Family in Xing’an Prefecture is also a wealthy family, the youngest daughter is still unmarried, pairing her with this general would be just right."

"Boss Xu, your family only opened two inns, and you dare call it a wealthy family? Moreover, for such a handsome and capable young general, he should pair with a well-educated girl. Although I am merely a student, the eldest daughter of my family has been literate since childhood and has the demeanor of a prestigious lady."

This speaker implied that his daughter is more suitable for Qin San Lang.

Gu Jinli heard from Ms. Gao Lei that Qin San Lang and others would soon enter the city, she immediately let Danian drive the cart to grab a good spot, at this moment she was lifting the curtain, stretching her neck to look into the distance, just catching sight of a silhouette, hearing these people dreaming here.

She said: "Stop dreaming, this Company Commander Qin is already married, his wife is Mrs. Qin Gu who made the Insect Attractant. Be careful, if Mrs. Qin Gu hears this, she won’t treat you with the Insect Attractant!"

"What?!" Boss Xu and Liu Tongsheng heard this and were startled, looking toward the source of the voice, only to see a masked girl, presumably in her teens, lifting the curtain of a nearby cart speaking to them.

"Which family are you a girl from, weren’t you eyeing Hero Qin so you’re falsely claiming he is married to make us retreat?"

Gu Jinli snorted, not only have I eyed him, he is already mine now, we have proof - the marriage certificate.

"If you don’t believe me, grab a government official or someone from Lei Family’s Trading Team and ask them, Company Commander Qin is truly married, and his wife is fierce!" Gu Jinli made a throat-cutting gesture: "So you better not attempt anything, otherwise his wife will..."

"Here he comes, Hero Qin has arrived here!" Before Gu Jinli could finish her sentence, the others interrupted, everyone stretched their necks, watching the approaching team, completely ignoring her.

"Oh, he’s gotten even more handsome up close."

"Hero Qin looks really good... just a bit cold, seeming fierce and quite terrifying."

Especially holding a human head now, with blood dripping down... uh, it’s a bit creepy.

"In, indeed a bit scary, he resembles King Yan catching lives..."

"Hey, quick, look, Hero Qin is smiling!"

"Oh God, this smile is so charming. Who said Hero Qin is fierce? You blind bunch, Hero Qin is clearly gentle, this smile warmer than sunlight, and you dare say he’s fierce!"

A moment of silence spread around, once again looking at Qin San Lang, only to find his face shed the cold severity, displaying a warm smile, appearing warm and friendly.

Looking closely at his eyes, those slightly deep eyes seem to harbor a tenderness capable of melting one’s heart.

"Hero Qin, a military general, treats us with such gentleness, it’s clear he truly cares for us, treating us like gems and treasures, we should shout louder, let Hero Qin know, we hold deep admiration for him!"

"Alright!" Everyone responded, erupting with all sorts of flattering words, Gu Jinli blushed listening to them.

"Where’s Xie Cheng? Where’s my Xie Cheng? Why haven’t I seen him?" Ji Zhenniang raised the curtain of the cart window, only seeing Qin San Lang and General Cheng, but didn’t see Xie Cheng, anxiously pushing Gu Jinli: "Stop giggling, quickly help me find Xie Cheng!"

Finished, she started sobbing: "Is Xie Cheng, is he..."

Ji Zhenniang was very scared, thinking that since Xie Cheng was not with Qin San Lang, something must have happened.
