An Ning walked directly towards Fu Xingyi’s tent.

Inside the tent, Fu Xingyi sat on a soft couch, looking at documents.

Seeing An Ning’s arrival, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and he slowly stood up.

In the past half month, An Ning had come to find him only a few times.

Each time was related to the affairs of the Daxuan Kingdom.

She wasn’t seeking his opinion; often she was there to convey something, and today was likely the same.

"The Cang Kingdom has sent a letter of surrender," An Ning stated bluntly, "and you need to receive it in person."

"Alright." Fu Xingyi nodded.

His gaze towards her remained gentle.

Even knowing that she had been deliberately avoiding him lately, he held no grievance, nor did he actively seek her out, allowing her time to reacquaint herself with him, patient and poised.

"After receiving the surrender letter, we will withdraw the troops and return to court. Once back at court..." An Ning trailed off.

Fu Xingyi still bore a smile, his eyes warm.

"We’ll discuss it after we return."

"Mm."

Towards An Ning, Fu Xingyi had always been indulgent.

Whatever she said was as she willed, never making it difficult for her.

...

The commander-in-chief’s tent.

On a high chair, Fu Xingyi sat in the central position, An Ning beside him, to the lower right.

Xie Ruotong, Yuan Wenkang, and other Daxuan generals stood solemnly on either side according to rank, exuding an imposing presence!

Gao Ziyue led Du Jianghong and Yuan Kai into the tent.

They knelt and bowed, "Greetings, Your Majesty and Empress."

"Crown Prince of Cang Kingdom, rise," Fu Xingyi spoke. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Though different from Xiao Jinxing in some ways, his composed and calm demeanor still bore the aura of a king.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Empress." Gao Ziyue stood up.

Du Jianghong and Yuan Kai also stood.

Gao Ziyue continued, "Recently I heard that during Your Majesty and the Empress’s stay in our Cang Kingdom, harm was inflicted, all due to my brother, Prince Ming’s actions. I have just executed Prince Ming on the spot, beheading him."

Saying this, he gave Yuan Kai a glance.

Yuan Kai opened a head wrapped in white cloth.

An Ning’s eyes moved slightly.

Fu Xingyi’s gaze also showed a hint of change.

He turned to look at An Ning.

On her indifferent face, there was little emotional fluctuation.

To speak of it.

This Prince Ming was the main culprit who killed Xiao Jinxing.

Yet An Ning remained composed.

Seeing that the Emperor and Empress of Daxuan had seen it, Gao Ziyue let Yuan Kai put away the head and then respectfully said, "This is the letter of surrender from Cang Kingdom, please accept it, Your Majesty."

Xie Ruotong stepped forward, took the letter from Gao Ziyue’s hand, and respectfully passed it to the emperor.

Fu Xingyi reached out to take it, opened it, and looked through it.

Then, "The letter of surrender is accepted. I also ask Cang Kingdom to fulfill your promise to never invade the borders of my Daxuan Kingdom ever again, and never again meet my Daxuan in battle."

"Cang Kingdom will uphold the promise and never invade," Gao Ziyue pledged.

"Today, Daxuan will retract the troops and return to court, and I also ask Cang Kingdom to withdraw promptly."

"Rest assured, Your Majesty, as soon as I return, we will immediately lead the troops out of Mobei."

"Then let us not delay any further." Fu Xingyi said sternly, "General Xie, escort the Crown Prince of Cang Kingdom out."

"As you command." Xie Ruotong accepted the order.

Then he walked to Gao Ziyue, "Crown Prince, please."

"I take my leave!" Gao Ziyue cupped his fists and bowed.

Xiao Jinxing nodded slightly.

Gao Ziyue led Du Jianghong and Yuan Kai away.

Thus.

The battle of Mobei truly came to an end.

An Ning’s eyes just watched the retreat of the group from the Cang Kingdom.

The scenario she had once envisioned was of her and Xiao Jinxing reuniting...

An Ning pressed her lips together.

Swallowed the moisture in her eyes.

She said to Fu Xingyi, "Then order the return to court."

Fu Xingyi nodded.

An Ning stood up and left directly.

Fu Xingyi swallowed the words that were at his lips once more.

He thought, he should give her more time.

With more time, all would be well.

...

After returning to the Cang Kingdom’s camp, Gao Ziyue led the troops out of Mobei.

The Daxuan Army, too, soon returned to court.

The journey took five days, and they returned to Xun City.

Triumphantly returning, with the emperor personally leading the army, the civil and military officials were already early at the palace gate to welcome them.

Watching from afar as the large forces returned.

The civil and military officials all knelt on the ground.

Also overwhelmed with excitement.

Every time the emperor personally led a campaign, it resulted in a great victory and return.

It was a matchless glory and honor for the Daxuan Kingdom.

Some elder ministers were moved to tears.

The large contingent arrived at the palace gate.

Because Fu Xingyi was injured, he rode in a carriage with An Ning.
