She's skilled in medicine, martial arts, and even understands animal language—the abandoned dau

Wanfeng galloped along the main street of Mi Kingdom, his hooves scattering pebbles from the bluestone slabs and startling the people on the street into scattering.

Vegetable baskets by the roadside were smashed to pieces, and the rolling fruits and vegetables were crushed into powder under the horses' hooves.

Although Meng Qi's horse "Ta Xue" was also a famous steed, it gradually lost its strength in this chase.

The two maces at his waist collided repeatedly with the jolting, their clanging sounds mingling with the horse's neighing, creating a jarring, chaotic symphony.

As Song Siyuan and his companions were being pushed and shoved by the guards along the main street, his pupils suddenly contracted when he caught a glimpse of the cold gleam of silver armor and the afterimage of a black horse in the distance—the double maces at the man's waist had a unique design, and it was none other than Meng Qi, the traitorous general of the Meng family army mentioned in the intelligence!

As long as Wanfeng leads him to the outpost, Shen Man's ambush will be able to trap him like a turtle in a jar.

Just as he was secretly making plans, he suddenly stumbled and was pushed to the ground.

Then, the guard commander kicked him in the back and was about to retaliate when he was startled by the burning gaze Meng Qi gave Wanfeng.

He thought to himself, if General Shenwei were to capture the horse himself, wouldn't he get no credit at all?

Although this horse is fierce and rushing at it rashly would be dangerous, fortune favors the bold. As long as he can become a familiar face to General Shenwei, he will have a way to get promoted and make money in the future.

After weighing the pros and cons, he suddenly shouted in his hoarse voice, "General, be careful! This horse is wild and untamed; do not harm your noble body!"

As he shouted, he nimbly mounted his horse and whipped away the soldiers blocking his way, yelling, "Get out of my way! Don't delay the general from chasing his horse!"

He spurred his horse and quickly approached Meng Qi, smiling obsequiously, "General, I am Zhao Youcai, the commander of the western outpost. I know the terrain around here like the back of my hand. I will lead the way for you!"

Immediately afterward, he turned and roared at his men, "What are you all standing there for? Quickly seal off the city gates, don't let this horse escape! Your names will be on the merit list!"

After saying that, he followed closely behind Meng Qi, constantly looking for an opportunity to make a name for himself, determined to take a bite out of this chaos.

After Zhao Youcai and his men had all left, Song Siyuan stood up, dusted himself off, and asked a bystander, "Uncle, may I ask who that man riding a white horse and wearing armor was? He looked very imposing!"

"Young man, how come you don't even recognize him? That's our famous Divine Might General from the Kingdom of Mi!"

He was once a deputy general in the Meng family army of the Crimson Flame Kingdom. He heard that the Meng family army had been completely wiped out in a great battle, and he had barely escaped with his life by fighting his way out.

The old man gazed at the receding dust, his voice tinged with awe, "I heard that he fled to our border covered in blood, and when he was rescued by the Princess, he was still clutching the Meng family army's flag tightly in his arms."

Later, he developed feelings for the eldest princess of our dynasty, but worried that if he returned to China, he would be punished by the Chiyan Dynasty as a defeated general, so he stayed in our Mi Kingdom.

Later, relying on his martial arts skills and ability to lead troops, he became the Divine Might General.

Song Siyuan feigned sudden realization and slipped a few copper coins into the old man's hand: "So he came from the Chiyan Meng family army! No wonder he was so powerful! But I've heard that the Meng family army is always victorious in every battle, how could they have been completely wiped out..."

"Ah, who can say for sure about this?" The old man put the copper coins into his sleeve and lowered his voice. "Some say the grain was stolen, others say it was an ambush. But General Meng was able to crawl out of a pile of dead bodies, that's a gift from God! Now he commands 50,000 troops in Mi Kingdom, and even the emperor has to show him respect."

Having obtained the information he wanted, Song Siyuan bid farewell to the old man and led his team toward the direction where Wanfeng had disappeared.

At this moment, Shen Man was leading her team to lie in ambush in the woods near the outpost, anxiously waiting for the team members who had been sent out to gather information to return.

Half an hour later, a team member finally rushed over and reported in a low voice: "City Lord, I heard that after Wanfeng entered the city, he went all the way to Jinhua Street. Most of the nobles of the Mi Kingdom live there. Should we go and take a look?"

Shen Man gripped the pistol at her waist, looked at the path outside the woods, and said in a deep voice, "No need. Wanfeng is very smart. If it encounters danger, it will return the way it came. We can just wait here."

Go and investigate further. If you find anything new, return immediately and report back!

On the other side, Wanfeng galloped wildly along the street. Although the guard commander ordered his men to close the city gate ahead of him, even Meng Qi's steed was no match for Wanfeng, let alone the guards riding ordinary horses.

By the time they arrived at the city gate, Wanfeng had already run out of the city.

Seeing that Wanfeng had left the city, Meng Qi continued to chase after it for a while, but found that it was running straight towards the western outpost. He couldn't help but feel suspicious and pulled on the reins of his horse.

He squinted, staring at the direction where Wanfeng had disappeared, his brows furrowed. He felt that the black horse seemed to know the route too well, and every turn seemed to be deliberate, leading him to the western outpost.

Beyond the western outpost lies the territory of the Crimson Flame.

"General, the horse has run away!" Zhao Youcai arrived breathlessly and saw that Meng Qi had stopped, so he hurriedly reminded him.

Meng Qi ignored him and scanned his surroundings, suddenly catching sight of a furtive figure at the city gate.

The man was dressed in ordinary people's clothes, but when he saw Meng Qi's gaze, he turned around in a panic and hid in the woods near the city gate.

Alarm bells rang in Meng Qi's mind. His intuition, honed by years of battle, told him that all of this was too strange.

"Pass down the order to seal the city gates. No one is allowed to enter or leave." Meng Qi coldly gave the order, his voice carrying an unquestionable authority.

Zhao Youcai was taken aback, then smiled obsequiously, "General, you are wise! But that black horse..."

"No need to chase after him." Meng Qi interrupted him directly, and then asked, "By the way, didn't you just say that you were the guard commander of the West Outpost? Then why aren't you on duty at the outpost? What are you doing here?"

Zhao Youcai's fawning smile froze instantly. His Adam's apple bobbed twice as he forced out a voice: "General, I actually... I actually came here following that black horse..."

"General, rest assured, the western outpost has been manned by capable men; there is no chance of failure!"

As he spoke, he stole glances at Meng Qi's expression, only to find the other looking at him with a probing gaze that made his heart pound.

"Did that horse come from the western outpost? Did anyone appear with it?" Meng Qi asked.

"Reporting to the general, there are a few Crimson Flame merchants who said they bought this horse from Qi Rong and originally planned to take it to the capital to sell it. However, when it got to Longhu, it went crazy and ran this way, even breaking through our sentry post."

The subordinates were worried it would run into the city and step on someone, so they chased after it all the way here.

"Where are those people now?"
