Of course, they were all injured. Two of them had quite a few wounds on their bodies.

However, they were all smiling.

Moreover, they all had their heads up high, looking as if they were looking at how amazing they were.

When Prince Anyang saw that a mere fifteen soldiers had returned with so much prey after only going out for a short while, he looked at them with admiration.

“As expected of the strongest soldiers in the Great Yan, you are truly brave and unparalleled!” Prince Anyang’s gaze was burning as he looked at the brown bear’s corpse on the ground.

The bear was abnormally ferocious, and ordinary people would find it difficult to deal with it.

They actually caught such a ferocious beast.

Xiao Yang and Fan Teng looked at each other and then at the brown bear’s corpse on the ground.

“Your Highness, you flatter me.” Then, Xiao Yang bowed to Prince Anyang.

“The conditions at the borders were bitter and cold. When the Great General King was around, he often led his soldiers into the mountains to hunt.” “Because of excessive hunting, the number of ferocious beasts at the border has decreased over the past few decades.”

“Qingshi Town, on the other hand, has many mountains and no one hunts.”

Hearing Xiao Yang mention the Great General King, the Nangong Army seemed to recall the time when they followed the Great General King out to hunt. All of them were smiling.

Prince Anyang’s expression became a little sad.

“The Great General King is for the country and the people. What a pity…” He sighed.

The moment he said that, they looked sad again.

“Don’t mention the past anymore. Among all the prey today, this bear was the rarest!” Lin Xiaoyue suddenly interjected when she saw this.

With one sentence, the sad atmosphere was turned back to normal.

“Xiaoyue is right! In order to catch this bear, the men were all injured!” Xiao Yang continued.

Then, his eyes moved, and he suddenly bowed to Prince Anyang.

“Your Highness has helped us evacuate from the border, and you have given us so many good things today.”

“We don’t have anything to repay Your Highness, so we’ll give this bear to Your Highness as a token of our appreciation.”

“Please accept it, Your Highness!” Xiao Yang said sincerely.

Prince Anyang was shocked.

He hurriedly rejected him.

However, although he rejected it, his eyes were fixed on the bear. It was obvious that he had taken a fancy to it.

Prince Anyang had indeed taken a fancy to the brown bear.

However, it was not that he wanted to eat it, but that he wanted to send it to the capital as tribute.

Although there were all kinds of delicacies in the palace, bear paws were not often served.

Oh no, it should be said that there were very few such things.

He wanted to send it to the capital. It was much more valuable than any gold, silver, or jewelry.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled. “Since it’s a token of our appreciation, Your Highness, please accept it!”

“Otherwise, won’t you make the soldiers feel bad?”

Prince Anyang was stunned.

“Alright, then I thank ail the soldiers!” Only then did he accept the brown bear.

“Then let’s carry this bear into the carriage!” Xiao Yang immediately said.

As he spoke, he didn’t wait for Prince Anyang to speak before getting up.

Liang Yu quickly arranged for a guard to lead the way for the two of them.

After the brown bear was carried away, Prince Anyang went to sit with Lin Xiaoyue and the others.

Soon after, lunch began.

Prince Anyang and the others, as well as the important members of the Nangong Army, were having their meals in the hall.

The rest of the people were arranged to stay in the courtyard outside the hall.

Head Fang spoke and informed everyone of everything that Prince Anyang had done for the Nangong Army. He also told them that the food on everyone’s table today was all sent by Prince Anyang.

After expressing his gratitude on behalf of the Nangong Army, he invited Prince Anyang to speak to the soldiers.

Of course Prince Anyang would not let go of this opportunity to win over the hearts of the people. He expressed his admiration for the Great General King and the Nangong Army to the fullest. He made a good impression of himself to the Nangong Army.

After Prince Anyang finished speaking, Head Fang asked Li Xiao to give a lecture to the soldiers.

Li Xiao had just stood up when the atmosphere became heavy.

He took a glass of wine and splashed it on the ground in front of him.

“The first glass is for the Great General King.”

Everyone turned solemn.

“The second glass is for the thirty-nine people of the Nangong Clan who were slaughtered.”

Some of the soldiers had tears in their eyes.

“The third glass…”

“…is for those who starved and froze to death at the border. As well as the soldiers who did not return from this evacuation!”

As soon as he finished speaking, some of the Nangong Army were already wiping their tears..
