Chapter 659: I Just Want to Express One Meaning

After winning the battle, Xiao Hanzheng asked the deputy general to count the casualties.

Then, he left a portion of people to set up camp outside the city to prevent the Ge Kingdom's army from returning. He then led the other soldiers into the city.

Liang Hengxiao had already been helped downstairs by his personal attendants, and he was personally welcoming everyone at the city gate.

Xiao Hanzheng saw Liang Hengxiao and greeted him with a fist salute. "Greetings, Commander-in-Chief."

The others also bowed to Liang Hengxiao.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone!" Liang Hengxiao smiled.

He heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they had won.

If he was defeated, he would commit suicide on the city wall as an apology. He would definitely not let the Ge Kingdom capture him.

Death was a small matter. He was afraid that he would let down the soldiers of Daliang who had sacrificed their lives, and he was afraid that he would let down his father.

Then, the group of people and the Third Prince entered the city.

The general and Xiao Hanzheng followed the Third Prince to his courtyard while the other soldiers were resting in the city.

When they entered the yard, Liang Hengxiao cupped his fists and thanked Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo. "It's all thanks to you and your wife. I thank you on behalf of the whole army!"

He knew very well that without Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo, not only would he not wake up, but the border city would also be taken by Ge Kingdom and he would become a hostage.

The border of Daliang might be breached by Ge.

Xiao Hanzheng smiled. "You don't have to do that, Commander-in-Chief. As an official of the imperial court, it is my duty to protect the country."

"Not only us, the other soldiers also contributed a lot."

His words warmed the hearts of the generals present.

"The Emperor has conferred me the title of Princess Fu Bao. Naturally, I can't stand by and watch the enemy trample on Daliang's territory." Shi Qingluo chimed in from the side.

Liang Hengxiao knew that the two of them were the kind of people who did practical things. He smiled and said, "No matter what, it was all thanks to you that we were able to defeat Country Lord Ge this time. The others will also be rewarded according to their contributions."

"Previously, the governor was unconscious, so I used the commander's seal left behind by King Yi."

Xiao Hanzheng took out the commander's seal from his pocket and handed it to the Third Prince. "I will return it to you now."

King Yi had taken this commander's seal from the Third Prince before he left. He wanted to use it as a backup plan.

Now that the Third Prince was awake, Xiao Hanzheng would not take the commander's seal.

Liang Hengxiao looked at the commander's seal and thought to himself that Xiao Hanzheng was indeed an honest man who did not care about power.

If it were anyone else who had obtained such a large number of military merits, they would probably want to directly occupy the commander's seal. How could they return it so quickly?

He didn't take it. Instead, he smiled and said, "I won't take this commander's seal back for now. Although I'm awake, my body still needs some time to recover."
