Everyone obeyed the order and lined up to board the plane in an orderly manner.

The two generals and several deputy generals knelt down and saluted: "Farewell to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and farewell to Prince Chen and Princess Chen."

After three and a half hours of flying, they finally arrived at the eastern border and the plane landed outside the military camp.

Like the soldiers in the southern camp, the soldiers in the eastern camp saw a big bird flying in the sky and landing outside the camp. They looked ready for battle, and the atmosphere was tense and solemn.

Under the alert of the soldiers, Baili Ting, Baili Ye and Qinghe's confidants got off the plane first, and the three followed closely behind.

At this time, General He, the garrison commander who received the news, also rushed over. Seeing the Crown Prince, Prince Chen, and Princess Chen coming together, he was stunned for a moment, then bowed respectfully:

"I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Prince Chen, and Princess Chen."

Baili Ting raised his hand to signal General He to excuse himself from the formalities, and said, "General He, there is no need to be polite."

Qing He smiled and looked at General He, saying, "General He, I have heard of your great name for a long time. Seeing you today, I can see that you are indeed worthy of your reputation."

General He hurriedly said, "Princess Chen, you are too kind to me. I don't deserve it."

Baili Ye looked around and said, "General He, let the soldiers move the things off the plane first, and you take us to the tent to discuss in detail."

General He responded and arranged for his soldiers to go with Baiyi to carry the supplies, and the soldiers were ordered to leave.

General He said to the three people, "Yes, Your Highness, Prince, Princess, please follow me."

Everyone came into the tent and sat down one by one.

Baili Ting was the first to speak: "General He, what is the situation at the eastern border?"

General He looked solemn and replied:

“Your Highness, the situation in the east is relatively stable, but we cannot take it lightly.

Recently, spies reported that the neighboring country seems to be making some small moves."

Qing He asked, "General He, do you know what these little moves are?"

General He frowned and said, "It's not very clear at the moment, but according to observations, they seem to be mobilizing troops frequently."

Baili Ye pondered for a moment and said, "No matter what, we must be fully prepared."

General He nodded and said, "Your Majesty is right. I have already stepped up patrols and defenses."

At this time, a soldier came in and reported: "General, I just received news that a large number of troops from the neighboring country have been assembled near the border."

When everyone heard this, their expressions were all shocked. Qing He stroked his chin and said, "I didn't expect that we would encounter a large-scale troop deployment by our neighboring country right after we arrived. What a coincidence!"

Baili Ye said decisively: "Yes, General He, immediately gather all the generals to discuss countermeasures."

General He took the order and left. Soon, all the generals rushed to the tent, all with serious expressions.

Outside the tent, a strong wind swept past, raising a cloud of dust and dyeing the sky dim yellow.

Baili Ye looked at everyone and said, "The situation is critical now. We must come up with a foolproof plan quickly."

At this time, the candlelight in the tent was swaying in the wind, and the flickering light made everyone's expressions look unpredictable.

Qing He nodded slightly and said with a firm look:

"The New Year is coming soon, and we can't ruin everyone's mood. I think we can use gunpowder to surprise the enemy and give them a fatal blow. We have to defeat the enemy once and for all."

Her voice was particularly clear amid the howling of the wind.

Baili Ye took over the conversation:

"That's right. If the enemy attacks during the New Year, we can use them as experiments and let them taste the power of gunpowder. We can use gunpowder to achieve a quick victory." His eyes revealed decisiveness and determination.
