As he said that, the man glanced at the wild rabbits roasting on the bonfire and continued: "We in Daning have encountered war disasters before, and every time we are surrounded by dangers, so we know better than Beirong in this regard."

"What the general said makes sense. The people from Beirong always like to sneak attack on us in Daning." The others agreed one after another.

The man glanced at everyone and said after a moment of silence: "We need to pay attention during this period. In particular, the guards at the city gate must be strictly inspected. No Beirong soldiers are allowed to enter Daning."

"Understood." The others replied in unison.

Then, the man glanced at everyone and said calmly: "Everyone, go and have a rest!"

"Yes." Everyone responded.

After everyone left, the man stood up and stretched.

Although it was winter, the beautiful mountains and clear waters, warm climate and pleasant scenery made him feel more comfortable.

"Master, you are finally back. I have been worried to death these days." The secret guard on the side saw him coming back and hurriedly came to greet him.

"What are you worried about? This general is very tough." The man smiled and patted the secret guard on the shoulder.

"Master, are your injuries okay?" the secret guard asked, his eyes full of worry.

"Yeah." The man responded casually, and then walked towards the house.

The secret guard was stunned, and after a while he came back to his senses, "Master, are you injured?"

Hearing this, the man stopped and looked back with a slight smile on his lips, "It's okay."

Seeing the man's careless appearance, the secret guard was frightened. The master's attitude was clearly to deal with him.

After the man entered the room, he took off his outer robe, revealing his chest wrapped in black clothes. The original hideous scars were clearly displayed in front of the secret guard.

Seeing this, the secret guard's pupils shrank sharply, and he quickly took out the hemostatic powder and applied it on the man's chest, "Master, how did this injury become like this?"

The man said lightly: "It's just a few minor injuries, nothing to worry about."

What the hell is this?

The secret guard shook his head helplessly, "Master, don't hide it from me anymore. You are injured, no matter how small it is."

"It's really not a problem." The man said and turned to leave.

The secret guard stamped his feet anxiously and hurriedly chased after him, "Master, I don't care, you must tell me what is going on today, otherwise, I will not allow you to act alone."

Listening to the secret guard's domineering words, the man's mouth curled up, "You don't agree? Do you think it's okay if you don't agree?"

"Of course!" An Wei said confidently.

"Since you think you have the ability to stop me, why didn't you tell His Majesty that I was so seriously injured, or did you say that you wanted to disobey my will?" The man's tone was slightly cold.

Hearing this, the secret guard's face instantly turned pale, and he couldn't explain clearly after hesitating for a long time.

"I……"

Seeing this, the man waved his hand impatiently and interrupted the secret guard, "Forget it, you go back and rest. Remember to report this matter to His Majesty so that he can rest assured."

The secret guard nodded, turned and left.

……

After the man took care of the wound on his chest, he lay on the bed and thought about his current situation.

In the past few years, he had been ordered to lurk around the Beirong Emperor and never found anything unusual. It was precisely because of this that they dared to stay in the Beirong Palace.

The generals of Beirong were all idiots. They actually believed that woman's words and thought that he would murder Beirong's country. Little did they know that these people were just pawns in her hands.

For so many years, he had been holding back, waiting for this opportunity.

I just didn't expect that this Beirong was so ignorant and pitiful that he would think that the Ning Dynasty was easy to bully.

Ha ha……

The man suddenly laughed, his smile a bit mocking and a bit cold.

"Master, why are you laughing?"

Just when the man was laughing at the Beirong Emperor, he heard the voice of a young soldier on the side.

The little soldier had been protecting the man in the dark, and he could clearly see every move the man made.

"You kid, you are getting more and more courageous." The man glanced at the little soldier and cursed with a smile.

The little soldier touched his head and smiled honestly.

Seeing the silly look of the little soldier, the man couldn't help but shake his head. There was indeed a lack of younger brothers like this boy around him.

"Master, why are you laughing?" the little soldier asked again, his eyes full of expectation.

"I'm laughing at your stupidity." The man raised his hand and rubbed the little soldier's head and chuckled.

When the little soldier heard this, he was unhappy and said, "Master, I'm not stupid."

"Hahaha..." The man raised his head and laughed, looking very happy.

After laughing, the man suppressed the smile on his face, his eyes gradually deepened, and he murmured: "Do you think Beirong has the confidence to confront our Daning Dynasty this time?"

"Master, there is nothing to fear from Beirong. Their territory is narrow and their supplies are scarce. There is no way they can compare with us."

After listening to the little soldier's words, the man sneered and said, "Beirong does have a small territory and lack of materials, but have you forgotten our goal?"

"Uh... Master, I forgot. I only know that the women in Beirong are beautiful. If we capture Beirong, we can marry two of them and take them home." At this point, the little soldier looked full of longing.

"Nonsense!" The man glared at the young soldier, then regained his calm expression and said, "The Beirong royal family has mastered the biggest secret in Daning. As long as we can find out the secret, we can fight back."

"Ah, master, secret? Does Beirong still have secrets?" the little soldier said in shock, his big eyes widening.

Seeing the little soldier like this, the man coughed lightly and said calmly: "You only need to know that the secrets of Beirong are far from simple as they appear. We have arranged a lot of details in Beirong over the years, but none of them can be passed on. Important news comes out, which shows how strict the Beirong royal family is in hiding secrets. If you want to find out the secrets of Beirong, it may be as difficult as climbing to the sky."

After hearing what the man said, the little soldier nodded in understanding, but quickly changed the subject.

"Master, it's time for us to have dinner."

"Oh." The man nodded slightly, "Let's go."

"Yes." The little soldier followed the man out obediently.

As night falls, the lights are on.

The streets are still lively and bustling at night, with a constant stream of shouts, bustling crowds, and a noisy atmosphere all around.

"Master, can I treat you to wontons?" The little soldier looked at the man flatteringly.

A soft smile flashed between the man's brows, and he nodded lovingly, "Okay."

Immediately, the two came to a wonton stall and sat down.

Seeing this, the proprietress of the wonton shop immediately came over to greet her with a smile on her face and said, "What kind of wontons do you two guests want to eat?"

The man pointed to the menu that had been prepared aside and ordered: "Madam boss, make five bowls of glutinous rice balls first, and then three drawers of shrimp wontons."
