Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

Hearing this, Yan Qianqian's heart stirred, and she asked curiously, "Oh? Tell me in detail."

Shi Er steadied himself and continued, "Xishang Kingdom and Beilin Kingdom previously signed a peace treaty, but this peace treaty is about to expire."

Now, both countries eye each other like tigers watching their prey, and the situation is extremely tense. Moreover, according to my knowledge, about ten or twenty years ago, Xishang Kingdom's military strength was the strongest among the five countries.,

At that time, Xishang Kingdom was at the height of its power, and its formidable military strength left Beilin Kingdom utterly defeated in war.

Facing such a predicament, Beilin Kingdom finally sent envoys to Xishang Kingdom to sign a peace treaty, seeking temporary peace.

However, after achieving victory, Xishang Kingdom fell into the trap of blind arrogance.

They no longer regarded Beilin Kingdom as a threat, but instead turned their eyes toward other countries, such as Dachang Kingdom, Dongying, and Nan Liang. This contemptuous attitude led to Xishang Kingdom's strategic blunder, and they launched attacks against these three countries.

Fortunately, Dachang Kingdom, Dongying, and Nan Liang realized the threat posed by Xishang Kingdom and swiftly took action. They decided to join forces to resist Xishang Kingdom and jointly repel the foreign enemy.

After a fierce battle, the allied forces of the three countries successfully repelled Xishang Kingdom's offensive and defended their own territories.

After this war, the relationship between Nan Liang and Xishang Kingdom became delicate. Nan Liang seemed to be secretly colluding with Xishang Kingdom, while Dongying chose to remain neutral and not participate in any side's fighting.

At the same time, Dachang Kingdom gradually emerged during the war, becoming a standout among the countries through continuous development and growth.

With the passage of time, Dachang Kingdom's strength grew stronger and stronger, and it eventually successfully conquered Nan Liang.

This move caused Xishang Kingdom to lose an important ally, while Beilin Kingdom had been quietly developing its own strength all these years, eyeing Xishang Kingdom like a tiger watching its prey.

They waited for the peace treaty to expire, preparing to deal a fatal blow to Xishang Kingdom.

Yan Qianqian listened to Shi Er's narration, nodding from time to time to show understanding. After Shi Er finished speaking, Yan Qianqian asked thoughtfully, "So you mean, a decisive battle between Beilin Kingdom and Xishang Kingdom is inevitable sooner or later?"

Shi Er nodded affirmatively and replied, "Yes, it's just a matter of time.",

Yan Qianqian frowned slightly and asked, "Then have you found out Wangchen's whereabouts?"

Shi Er hurriedly shook his head and sighed, "Subordinate has already infiltrated Chunding City, but has not found any news of Wangchen. In Subordinate's opinion, there are two possibilities for this matter. Either Wangchen is not within Xishang Kingdom's borders at all, or he is inside the Imperial Palace."

Hearing this, Yan Qianqian became even more anxious and pressed, "Then could it be that he is wearing a Human Skin Mask, which is why you failed to recognize him?"

Shi Er answered decisively, "Subordinate is extremely familiar with Wangchen's Human Skin Mask and will certainly not mistake him."

Yan Qianqian nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Mm, you've worked hard. Go rest now."

Shi Er acknowledged and took his leave, turning to depart. Yan Qianqian sat alone at the table, gazing at the letter paper and brush on the table, but in her heart she repeatedly pondered the news Shi Er had just gathered.

After much careful consideration, Yan Qianqian finally decided to pick up the letter paper and brush and begin writing. However, she had only written a few strokes before stopping.

She gently blew on the ink that had not yet dried, waited for it to dry completely, then carefully folded the letter paper, put it into an envelope, and stored it in the drawer.

Early the next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Yan Qianqian impatiently took out the envelope and handed it to Shi Er, solemnly instructing, "This letter must be delivered to An Wang, with not the slightest delay."

Next, he without hesitation handed over the token belonging to An Wang to Shi Er. Shi Er knew the urgency of the matter and dared not delay in the slightest, immediately ordering his subordinates to handle the relevant affairs.

You see, An Wang has many dark spies in Xishang Kingdom. However, these dark spies' tasks are relatively simple, merely conveying some basic information.

But even so, for the current situation, this is already enough.

Shi Er held An Wang's token, as if holding a universal key, able to freely mobilize all the dark spies of Xishang Kingdom.

Even more surprising is that the token's power is not limited to Xishang Kingdom; the dark spies of other countries can also be dispatched by it.

It turned out that this token was originally bestowed by An Wang upon Yan Qianqian. Since Yan Qianqian took over the Dark Guard Camp, An Wang had handed this important token to her, to show his trust and support for her.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye it was October 1st. Yan Qianqian held a specially made small round token, feeling slightly nervous, and came to the place where she had signed up last time.

However, when she arrived at her destination, she was stunned by the sight before her eyes.

In sharp contrast to the previous desolation, this place was now packed with dense crowds, as if the entire city's population had gathered here.

Yan Qianqian squeezed through the crowd with difficulty and stood among the crowd.

She felt as if she were submerged in a sea of people, and the clamor around her made her head buzz, almost triggering her trypophobia.

Time passed minute by minute, and after about another half an hour, a commotion suddenly arose in the crowd.

Yan Qianqian looked closely and saw a man riding a tall horse, clad in silver armor that gleamed, like a war god descending, slowly walking toward the registration place.,

His armor shone with golden light under the sunlight, as if made of gold. That dazzling light made it impossible to ignore his presence, making him stand out even in the crowd.

Looking at his face, although partially covered by a helmet, one could still see his high nose bridge and cold, sharp eyebrows and eyes.

His facial features were firm, revealing a kind of resoluteness and coldness, giving people a feeling of being difficult to approach.

Behind him, more than ten people followed closely, also riding horses and wearing armor.

Their appearance made the originally lively crowd instantly quiet down, and everyone's gaze was attracted to them.

When the man in silver armor walked to the very front of the crowd, a man with a rugged appearance in his group rode his horse to the front of the line.

His voice was loud, like a great bell, echoing throughout the square: "Everyone listen! Let me introduce myself first. Next, I will be responsible for all your training matters. My surname is Jin, everyone just call me Xiao Jiao Jin!"

His words were concise and clear, carrying an indisputable dignity.
