I have been a county magistrate for ten years. My subordinates insist on giving me a yellow robe.

At the border of Daduan, a strong wind suddenly arose today, blowing yellow sand all over the sky.

The border between Daduan and Nanliang is only a hundred miles apart, but there are countless tents.

In the buffer zone between the two armies, large-scale conflicts would break out from time to time. Scouts from both sides would fight each other in this area, cut off each other's heads, and take them back to get promotions and fortunes.

Compared with the battle situation on the border of Yunzhou, although the scope here is not large, it gives people a more cruel feeling.

At this moment, less than thirty miles away from the Daduan army camp, two groups of Southern Liang scouts were besieging and killing a group of Daduan scouts.

Due to their numerical advantage, it was only a matter of time before Daduan's team of scouts were surrounded and killed.

On the battlefield, a young man spat out a mouthful of blood foam: "Bah! Nanliang bastards!"

"Boss, we'll cover you, you go back!"

The sergeant, whom the young man called the boss, laughed and scolded: "You little bastard, you have bad intentions. If I abandon you and run back in this situation, who will dare to follow me in the future?"

"No need to waste time talking nonsense. Today we are leaving together. If I have to die, I will die before you!"

After these two simple sentences, everyone fell silent and confronted the enemy with long swords in hand.

Although they had the advantage in numbers, the Southern Liang scouts did not act rashly.

Anyone who can serve as a scout is definitely the elite among the elite. To be frank, scouts are the soldiers with the strongest individual combat capabilities in the army.

Even if there are only five of us, we still cannot take it lightly.

In the stack on both sides,

call!

A breeze blew, and the dust on the ground was blown up. In a flash, no one knew who made the first move.

When everyone stopped moving, there were three more bodies on the field, one from Nan Liang and two from Da Duan.

The only three remaining scouts from the Great Duan stood back to back, still calmly confronting the remaining eight scouts from the Southern Liang Dynasty.

"You can't go back."

A sergeant among the Southern Liang scouts spoke calmly.

"Fuck you!"

The scout sergeant of Daduan also spat without any hesitation.

Time seemed to freeze again, just as everyone was concentrating and preparing to start the next fight.

Whoosh!

A sound of breaking through the air was heard, and the Nanliang scout sergeant subconsciously bent down to avoid it. The next moment, a sharp arrow pierced through his chest like chopsticks piercing tofu.

He glanced at the bloody hole in his chest unwillingly, then collapsed to the ground. The last thing he saw was a man in a white robe in the distance slowly lowering his longbow...

The moment the man in white robe appeared, the Nanliang scout gave up the enemy in front of him without any hesitation and turned to flee.

Yes, the only option was to escape. Apart from escaping, they had no other thoughts.

During the long confrontation with Da Duan, they have witnessed the strength of this white-robed general many times.

The Southern Liang commander even slammed the table and sighed, admitting that without tens of thousands of soldiers, there was no way to surround and kill Ning Fei.

At this moment, let alone their two scouts, even if there were twenty teams, if they didn't run away, they would still be killed by that man.

The figure in the distance didn't seem to have any intention of killing them all, but turned around and rode away.

A moment later, in the central army tent.

Qingzhu waved the feather fan in her hand calmly, looked at Ning Fei who was walking towards her, and said with a smile: "General Ning, are you out again?"

"Well, I'm bored, so I'll go out for a walk." Ning Fei said, handing the longbow to the two followers beside him.

Qingzhu smiled silently and rushed into the buffer zone alone. There were really not many generals in history who dared to do this.

"General, a letter just came from the imperial capital, saying it was sent to you by the Ning family." Qingzhu pointed to an unopened envelope on the large table in front of him.

"Sent from the imperial capital?" Ning Fei's face showed some curiosity.

He had been at the border for three years and had no contact with the Ning family in the imperial capital. Even he couldn't help but be curious about what was written in the letter sent by the family.

Ning Fei calmly opened the envelope and looked through it for a long time, but only a small note appeared.

"The Imperial Capital is covered in snow and wind?"

After reading it quietly, Ning Fei looked at the note in his hand in confusion and fell into deep thought.

Qingzhu on the side was also stunned. The imperial capital was thousands of miles away from here, but the Ning family ignored the long journey and actually sent such a letter, no, such a sentence?

If it's a secret letter, that's fine, but of course the shorter the better.

But even if it was a secret letter, it couldn't be just a letter that seemed like nonsense.

"Military Advisor, what do you think this means?" Ning Fei said as he handed over the note in his hand.

Qingzhu took a look at it twice, and even looked at it on the surface. After confirming that there was no means of hiding the font, he handed the note to Ning Fei with a wry smile.

"What does this mean?" Ning Fei was also a little confused.

After a while, Qingzhu frowned and said, "General, I have heard that there is a way to hide the font. Perhaps you can use flames to burn it."

Ning Fei nodded and was about to take action.

"Wait!" Qingzhu spoke again, his face serious, "What I say may not be accurate. If this note is burned and nothing happens, don't blame me."

Ning Fei's hand holding the note trembled a few times, and then he walked towards the brazier with a grin.

A moment later, Ning Fei looked at the note that was almost burned in the brazier, puzzled.

"Military Advisor, who do you think sent this letter? My uncle? I think it's more likely that he sent me a bunch of useless stuff."

"Well, the general is right. Could it be sent by Queen Ning?" Qingzhu spoke slowly.

Ning Fei's expression froze for a moment, and then he fell into deep thought.

The big tent fell into silence, and even Qingzhu was no exception.

As we all know, Duanmu Xiongtu passed away not long ago, and Empress Ning gave birth to a son for Duanmu Xiongtu a year before his death, and named him Duanmu Yuanji.

And now that Queen Ning suddenly sent Ning Fei such a confusing letter, it is worth pondering.

After a while, Ning Fei looked at Qingzhu with a serious expression.

"Military Advisor, I understand."

Qingzhu waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no, no! I don't want to know, please don't tell me!"

Ning Fei looked at Qingzhu speechlessly. His old partner was good in every way. The only shortcoming, which could not be considered a shortcoming, was that he was too self-righteous.

As long as it doesn't concern you, just ignore it.

Originally, when they arrived at the border, according to Ning Fei's plan, he would defeat the Southern Liang border army in half a year and sweep across Southern Liang within three years.

But Qingzhu refused to agree and allowed the situation to gradually evolve into the current confrontation.

According to Qingzhu, it is okay to have great achievements, but you must not shock the master.

You, Ning Fei, still have plenty of years to live, but I, Qingzhu, may not live for many more years, so don't get me involved when that happens.

What he said was quite sincere, but it left Ning Fei speechless.

This is definitely not about seeking merit, but about avoiding mistakes; not about seeking to stand out, but about having no worries about life.
