Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

"But is this true or false?" someone questioned.

"General Yan has already captured five cities of Nan Liang, yet the Prince of Qi still hasn't appeared; I reckon his situation is probably more ominous than auspicious," someone analyzed.

"After this, maybe Nan Liang will truly be gone, and A Ren't we all going to become people of Dachang?" someone suddenly thought.

"What you say makes some sense!" another person agreed.

"Hahaha, if that's the case, isn't that not good?" Everyone burst into laughter, but within the laughter seemed to reveal a hint of helplessness and confusion.

Their conversation, however, was heard clearly by Tang Qi and Yan Wang, who were hiding not far away.,

Hearing this, Yan Wang was delighted in his heart; he couldn't help but pat Tang Qi's shoulder, smiling all over his face as he said: "When we return to Jingcheng, I must treat you to a meal; choose whatever you want to eat! This time I truly owe it to you; you helped me a great deal!"

Hearing this, Tang Qi scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly and responded humbly: "This is all what I should do; it's nothing major."

Seeing this, Yan Wang hurriedly waved his hands and said generously: "Don't say that; from now on we are good brothers; if there's anything, just say it directly, and absolutely don't stand on ceremony with me!"

After saying this, he also enthusiastically hooked his arm around Tang Qi's shoulder, and the two walked back talking and laughing like old friends of many years.

At this moment, Ai Jiao, standing beside them, seeing the situation, also hurriedly stepped forward and said with a beaming smile: "Hey, what about me!"

Seeing this, Yan Wang hurriedly replied with a smile: "Right right right, there's you too! The three of us are all good brothers; no one can be left out!" Hearing this, Ai Jiao hehe laughed, nodded in satisfaction, and then walked back together with Yan Wang and Tang Qi.

The continuous intense battles these past few days left everyone feeling somewhat exhausted. Therefore, Yan Wang decisively ordered everyone to rest well tomorrow, recuperate their strength, so as to better face the battles they might face next.

Night fell, and everyone sat together enjoying a simple dinner. Just as everyone was eating and chatting in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, a sudden commotion came from the camp gate. The guard on duty hurriedly ran over and reported to Yan Wang: "Report!"

Yan Wang, who was burying his head in eating a steamed bun, heard the sound and abruptly raised his head, with half a steamed bun still stuffed in his mouth, asking unclearly: "What's wrong? What happened?" The guard knelt on one knee, cupped his fists, and said loudly: "Reporting to General Yan, your Anqi has returned."

Hearing this, Yan Wang felt somewhat surprised in his heart. He had indeed sent A Ming out on a mission, but A Ming always returned directly and never went through the main gate. After all, he had given A Ming his own token, so the soldiers naturally recognized him; this was not surprising.

It was just that, as an Anqi, A Ming should have hidden in the dark; why did he return through the main gate this time?

Yan Wang was secretly pondering when he heard the soldier continue: "Not only that, the Anqi also brought back the Fifth Miss together."

"What!!!" Hearing this, Yan Wang was struck as if by lightning and exclaimed in shock: "Who did you say???"

Seeing this, the soldier hurriedly repeated: "The Fifth Miss!!"

Yan Wang felt his head buzz, and instantly went blank. He stared wide-eyed, his face full of astonishment, as if he couldn't believe his own ears.

However, after only a moment, he came back to his senses; without a word, he immediately put down the steamed bun in his hand and dashed toward the camp gate like an arrow leaving the bow.

His steps were as fast as the wind; the soldier bringing the news, seeing this, hurriedly chased after him but was still panting and unable to keep up.

Indeed, as soon as Yan Wang reached the gate, he saw that familiar figure at a glance. That woman resembled him somewhat, dressed in men's attire, tall and slender, slightly taller than before. She was precisely Yan Wang's younger sister, Qianqian.

Standing beside Qianqian was also A Ming, with a respectful expression.

Yan Wang stared wide-eyed, his face full of suspicion; he simply couldn't believe the scene before him, as if the person before him had suddenly appeared from another world.

He rubbed his eyes hard, afraid he was having an illusion, but when he looked again, he found that person was still standing there, and indeed it was his younger sister Qianqian!

Yan Wang's heart surged with wild joy; he quickly stepped forward, grabbed Qianqian's shoulder, and asked excitedly: "How did you come? Was everything smooth along the way? Did you encounter any danger?" His voice revealed undisguisable concern and worry.

Seeing her brother so nervous, Qianqian couldn't help but smile and comfort him: "Si Ge, don't worry, everything is fine." However, Yan Wang's brow did not relax because of this; he immediately pressed further: "Then how did you come here? You're a young lady, running to the military camp in the middle of the night—how unsafe!"

Qianqian hurriedly explained: "Si Ge, I know women cannot enter the military camp at will. But tonight it was truly too late; the gates of Yu Zhou had already closed, and I had nowhere to go, so I had no choice but to come find you."

Hearing his sister's words, Yan Wang breathed a slight sigh of relief, but his expression remained somewhat gloomy. He turned to look at A Ming beside him and sternly questioned: "I sent you on a mission; how did you bring my sister here? Shouldn't you have gone to Nan Liang? How did you end up carrying out a mission in Jingcheng?"

A Ming was stammered by Yan Wang's questioning; he stammered in reply: "Master, Subordinate went to Nan Liang"

Before he could finish, Yan Wang was already furious; he couldn't help but raise his voice: "You are my subordinate; can't you even handle such a small matter? We are at war here; my sister is a young lady—if anything happens to her, how will I face our parents!"

A Ming hurriedly explained: "Master, I really did go on a mission; not a single word is false! It's just that I happened to encounter the Fifth Miss on the way."

At this moment, Qianqian also hurriedly chimed in: "Si Ge, you must not blame A Ming; we indeed met by chance in Yi Xin Cheng."

Seeing this, Yan Wang waved his hand and said: "Alright, I understand. Let's discuss this matter later; now it's late, and it's not safe for a young girl like you to stay here alone. This is what we'll do: I'll first take you to an inn to rest."

Hearing this, Qianqian nodded obediently; a warm current surged in her heart, and she deeply felt Si Ge's care for her.
