With a loud "Bang," Ai Jiao stumbled, nearly falling to the ground. He hurriedly steadied himself, his face flushed red, and quickly apologized to Yan Wang again and again: "Brother Wang, I'm really sorry! It's all because I wasn't careful enough..."

Yan Wang turned around, not caring at all, and said softly: "It's fine, don't worry about it. But wait here for a moment; I'll go in and report first." After speaking, he didn't linger, lifting his foot with steady, powerful steps to enter the tent first.

At this moment, inside the tent sat a remarkably heroic man, who was Wang Ting. Seeing Yan Wang return, he raised his sword-like eyebrows and asked: "Back? Was this trip smooth?" Yan Wang respectfully replied: "Reporting to the General, everything went smoothly enough."

Immediately after, Wang Ting changed the subject and said: "Previously, Prince An sent word that you would bring someone back with you this time. I don't know where this person is now?"

Yan Wang nodded and answered truthfully: "Mm, this person is waiting outside the tent."

Hearing this, Wang Ting thought for a moment and said: "Since that's the case, then call him in. I happen to see if he can be arranged to serve under Song Feng." Yan Wang cupped his hands and replied: "As you command!" Then he turned and quickly walked out of the tent to summon Ai Jiao inside.

When Yan Wang walked out of the tent, he saw Ai Jiao standing quietly at the tent entrance, his posture straight as a pine, his gaze focused on the front. Yan Wang said softly: "Come in."

Hearing these words, Ai Jiao first took a deep breath, as if gathering courage for himself, then walked into the tent with firm yet slightly nervous steps.

Ai Jiao had just stepped into the tent and hadn't steadied his footing yet when he quickly knelt to salute, saying respectfully: "Greetings, General Wang Ting!" His voice was clear and resounding, revealing a sense of awe.

Wang Ting slightly raised his hand to gesture for him to stand, then asked: "What is your name?" Ai Jiao quickly replied: "Reporting to the General, this humble one is named Ai Jiao."

Wang Ting nodded thoughtfully, then asked further: "Ai? Is Minister of War Ai Sheng related to you?" Ai Jiao answered without hesitation: "He is my father."

A flash of surprise crossed Wang Ting's eyes, but he soon regained his composure, saying: "Oh, so that's how it is." After a brief pause, Wang Ting said to Ai Jiao with a stern expression: "Since you have come to this military camp, you must forget your original identity.

Here, no matter who you are, even if you are of the imperial clan or a high-ranking official, once you step into this camp, you are merely an ordinary soldier. You must keep this in mind, do you understand?"

Ai Jiao hurriedly replied: "I understand!" His tone was firm and decisive, without the slightest hesitation. Seeing Ai Jiao's straightforward attitude, Wang Ting nodded in satisfaction.

Actually, Prince An didn't usually interfere in military camp affairs, but anyone arranged by him personally was usually not bad. Thinking of this, Wang Ting continued: "After you go out later, go find Yan Wang, and let him take you to meet Song Feng. From now on, he will be your direct superior, and all your daily task arrangements will be handled by him."

Ai Jiao didn't hesitate at all, immediately replying loudly: "Yes!" While Wang Ting, sitting above, said expressionlessly: "Alright, go out." After receiving the order, Ai Jiao didn't dare delay for a moment, hurriedly replying: "Okay!" Then he quickly turned and exited the tent as if granted a great pardon.

Yan Wang, who had been waiting outside, saw Ai Jiao come out and eagerly stepped forward to ask: "Song Feng?" Ai Jiao nodded slightly to indicate yes, then looked at Yan Wang with eyes full of anticipation and said softly: "Brother Wang, quickly take me there."

Yan Wang nodded, let out a low "Mm," and then walked ahead to lead the way. Ai Jiao followed closely behind him, and the two walked in silence all the way.

They passed three or four tents, with soldiers' shouts during training and the clashing of weapons occasionally heard around them. Finally, Yan Wang stopped in front of a tent, turned to Ai Jiao and said: "Here it is, let's go in together."

After speaking, he reached out to lightly lift the tent curtain, and without hesitation stepped inside. Seeing this, Ai Jiao quickly followed, afraid of falling behind by a step.

At this moment, Song Feng inside the tent was leaning over the desk, holding a writing brush, intently writing and drawing something.

Suddenly, he sensed a strange aura and abruptly raised his head, only to see Yan Wang's tall figure before his eyes. This person named Song Feng held the same position of Deputy Commander as Yan Wang, but their backgrounds were vastly different.

Song Feng came from a poor family, with impoverished circumstances, yet he always harbored the great dream of protecting his home and defending his country. Despite his parents' strong opposition, Song Feng unhesitatingly participated in the Yan Family Army's selection.

You must know, the Yan Family Army held a strict selection event every so often. This selection not only examined the candidates' martial prowess, but also focused on assessing their character, endurance, and sense of belonging to the country, among other aspects.

For this, professional personnel were specially assigned to conduct meticulous scoring for each candidate. Only the one who ultimately ranked at the top of the list had the qualification to enter the gates of the Yan Family Army.

And Song Feng was precisely at that time, relying on his own solid strength and firm beliefs, stood out, won the first place in one go, and successfully joined the Yan Family Army. Calculating now, he had been in the army for a full five years.

In this huge military camp, there were a total of five Deputy Commanders, and above these Deputy Commanders, there was one Commander overseeing the overall situation. Thus, Yan Wang and Song Feng were at the same level.

The reason Wang Ting arranged for Ai Jiao to serve under Song Feng this time mainly had two points: first, Song Feng was a person of upright conduct, honest and kind, deeply respected by everyone; second, both the place where Song Feng was currently located and Yan Wang's side were facing the problem of insufficient manpower.

Plus, Ai Jiao was originally recommended by Yan Wang. If she were directly placed under Yan Wang to work, it would probably inevitably attract some gossip. After comprehensive consideration, letting Ai Jiao belong under Song Feng was undoubtedly the most proper choice.
