Hearing this, the waiter hurriedly led the way in front, guiding them through the bustling hall, up the stairs, to a private room upstairs. The waiter lightly knocked on the door, and only heard a pleasant male voice from inside: "Come in."

The waiter then gently pushed open the door and stood aside, making a "please" gesture. Yan Wang and the other two entered in single file. After entering the private room, they saw a man in fine robes sitting upright at the table; this man was Xin Hong.

Seeing Yan Wang and the others enter, Xin Hong hurriedly stood up, cupped his hands in a bow, and said with a smile, "Please sit, please sit! I still don't know how to address the two of you?"

After the three had all taken their seats, Xin Hong spoke first, saying in a friendly tone, "You three are all younger than me, so I'll boldly call all of you 'little brother'!"

Yan Wang smiled faintly and replied softly, "As you wish." His tone seemed very humble.

Just then, Xin Hong interjected with a smile, "Let's order first. We can eat and chat after ordering." After speaking, he handed the menu to Yan Wang without hesitation.

Yan Wang did not decline. After taking the menu, he quickly skimmed through it and decisively ordered two dishes. Then he passed the menu to Ai Jiao sitting beside him.

Ai Jiao took the menu, looked it over carefully as well, then ordered two dishes she liked. The menu was then passed to Tang Qi, who also ordered two dishes.

Finally, Tang Qi returned the menu to Xin Hong. Xin Hong smiled slightly and said, "I won't order anything. What you ordered are all dishes I love."

After speaking, he handed the menu to the waiter standing nearby and instructed, "That's all. Serve the dishes as soon as possible. No drinks, don't delay the important business."

Yan Wang agreed with this. After all, they indeed had important matters to discuss at this meeting, and drinking might affect the progress of the business. So he also nodded in agreement.

After the waiter left, A Zhong and Xin Hong's guard Liu Jian stood guard outside the door to ensure no one eavesdropped on their conversation.

After everything was arranged properly, Xin Hong no longer beat around the bush and spoke directly, "I won't hide it from you three little brothers. I'll say it straight: my Huangdi is the Emperor of Nan Liang, and my Empress is the former Empress of Nan Liang."

Hearing this, the three instinctively felt there was gossip to be had, so none of them interrupted. They quietly prepared to eat melon. Immediately after, they heard Xin Hong briefly recount what Xin Tong and Xin Derui had done.

Just as he finished speaking, A Zhong's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Master, the food is here!" Yan Wang replied, "Mm, come in." Then the two opened the door, and the waiter brought the dishes in.

Seeing this, Xin Hong immediately became very enthusiastic. He picked up the serving chopsticks and began serving food for everyone, looking just like a warm and hospitable big brother.

The other three felt no discomfort at all. Instead, they naturally accepted the food Xin Hong served them and began to taste it.

After tasting, the three couldn't help but praise the dishes highly. After the waiter quickly finished serving the dishes, he withdrew.

The door to the private room was closed again. Only then did Yan Wang slowly open his mouth and ask Xin Hong, "Brother Xin, I don't know how you plan to explain to your Huangdi after bringing these two hundred thousand soldiers to surrender?"

A trace of coldness appeared on Xin Hong's face. He replied indifferently, "I never planned to go back at all. I'm just waiting here for Nan Liang to be conquered. Best if I can execute Xin Tong, which would count as avenging my pitiful Empress. After all this is over, I plan to travel around the various countries and fully appreciate the beautiful landscapes of this world."

Yan Wang smiled and nodded, responding, "Brother Xin's idea is indeed good. Moreover, Xin Tong has always been dissatisfied with our Dachang and has caused us no small amount of trouble in private. If we can execute him this time, it would also count as ridding the people of a pest."

Hearing this, Xin Hong showed a satisfied smile and said, "That's good. With Brother Xin's words, I'm relieved. Come, come, come. Don't just talk; everyone, try this dish. The taste is truly quite good."

So everyone picked up their chopsticks, tasting the food while continuing to chat. At first, everyone was a bit reserved, but as the conversation unfolded, the atmosphere gradually became lively, and the distance between them narrowed considerably.

Later, they even began to address each other as brothers, as if they had known each other for a long time and regretted meeting late.

Just like that, the meal ended amidst laughter and chatter. After finishing the meal, Yan Wang and the other two stood up to take their leave and returned to the camp. Xin Hong, however, did not stay in Yiran City but rushed back to Yiliang City without stopping.

He had an obsession in his heart: to personally witness Yan Wang's army entering Yiliang City, and even more to personally see Xin Tong die under Dachang's blades. Only then could he truly leave with peace of mind.

At the same time, the Kitchen Camp of the Dachang Army was a scene of busyness. Although General Yan had previously said that some Nan Liang people might come to eat, no one expected there would be so many!

The Kitchen Camp didn't have many people to begin with. Suddenly having to supply food for two hundred thousand people was indeed no small challenge. Only saw the cooks busily flustered, ladles constantly stirring in the pots, almost swung until sparks flew.

However, the Yan Family Army has always been united. Seeing that the Kitchen Camp couldn't keep up, someone stood up voluntarily and actively went to the Kitchen Camp to help.

These people did not feel that working in the Kitchen Camp was inferior to other places. On the contrary, they believed everyone was a member of the Yan Family Army family, that everyone's work was important, and that they should help each other.

This atmosphere of unity and friendship permeated the Yan Family Army side, forming a warm atmosphere. This atmosphere not only made the Yan Family Army soldiers feel warm and comfortable, but also infected the Nan Liang Army side.

Facing this situation, the Nan Liang Army soldiers all seemed at a loss. They didn't know what they should do, and were also worried about being bullied or receiving unfair treatment.

However, just then, a Nan Liang Army soldier with bolder courage stepped forward. He plucked up his courage and walked to the Kitchen Camp, asking the Head Chef who was busy if there was anywhere he could help.

Hearing the voice, the Head Chef stopped his work, turned back, and glanced at this Nan Liang Army soldier.

Only saw him smiling all over his face, showing a mouthful of big white teeth. He enthusiastically replied, "Yes, yes. Look, there's a pile of tomatoes over there. Please help wash them. Later we'll make soup for everyone to drink."

Hearing this, the Nan Liang Army soldier immediately responded cheerfully, "Got it!" After speaking, he walked over to the tomatoes happily and began to wash them seriously.

With the first Nan Liang Army soldier speaking up, the other Nan Liang Army soldiers gradually let go of their worries, and one after another plucked up their courage to come forward and help.
