On the ancient and fragrant main road, several fine horses came slowly, with a handsome and tall man at the forefront, with an extraordinary demeanor.

  The gatekeeper saw from afar and had already sent someone to report inside. The middle gate was wide open, allowing the horse team to gallop straight into the central courtyard.

  "Big brother, what are you doing here?" A clear and pleasant call came from the living room, followed by a beautiful figure quickly appearing in front of the leading knight.

  Fang Ming let out a bitter laugh, his little sister may have married into another family, but her nature hadn't changed one bit. It was clear that Xu Haifeng truly loved her dearly, letting her do as she pleased. A strange thought suddenly arose in his mind, if Fang and Xu were at odds, then what would happen to this little sister of his?

  "Of course I'm here to see my dear little sister." Feng Ming said with a big smile.

  "Believe you? Don't be ridiculous."

  "Cough...cough..." The person beside him, Duanmu Wisdom, coughed and said with difficulty: "Little sister, now that big brother is the head of the household, you..."

  He glared at him fiercely, and Zhìlǐ immediately shut his mouth, and all the words that had not been spoken were stillborn.

  "What should I do?" Fang Yingying blinked her big, fierce eyes and asked.

  Fang Zhì glanced at his brother, only to see Fang Míng smiling brightly, but not looking in his direction. Suddenly, he felt a pang of regret, thinking to himself, "Why am I seeking trouble when there's none?" He quickly changed his expression and flattered, "Of course, little sister should be herself, that way she can show off the uniqueness of our Fang family."

  "Hmph, don't bother talking to you. Big brother, are you here to see Lin sister? You've arrived quite quickly."

  The direction of the sound made a good laugh and looked at his younger brother, even Fang Lao Tai was helpless against this spoiled granddaughter, wasn't he asking for trouble?

  "Yes, it's the first time that brother and sister have invited me here, so how can I, as an elder brother, not hurry over with all due haste?"

  Since returning to Wolong City this time, Lin Wanxian has changed her usual demeanor and actively participated in various government affairs within the city with Xu Haifeng's tacit consent. With the assistance of people like Ge Haojian by her side, she handled all matters in an orderly manner.

  Not only that, with the identity of the princess of her hometown, the degree of welcome she received was much greater than imagined. The decree went down, all passed unimpeded, no one dared to disobey, and it played an unparalleled role in stabilizing the people's hearts.

  The art of politics, she knew no less than anyone else, and because she was born into the imperial family, she had a unique understanding of balance. With her navigating between various powers, she played a very good lubricating role, and her relationship with the three major families on the surface was extremely harmonious.

  For people like Duan Xiangyu and others from noble families, dealing with Jiang Kungming was far less enjoyable than negotiating with Lin Wanxian.

  Jiang Gongming was known as the number one wise man in the world, and when interacting with him, one had to be extremely vigilant at all times. However, being with this peerless beauty was like a gentle spring breeze, the two feelings were vastly different.

  "Little sister, do you know why Lin brother and sister are looking for me?" Fang Xiangming asked casually.

  "I don't know, a secret letter just arrived from the Western Camp, and as soon as sister saw it, she ordered you to come."

  Fang Zhi Da Qi asked, "Little sister, haven't you seen it before?" He was extremely surprised in his heart. With Fang Yingying's surname and name, she hadn't even taken a peek, truly strange and bizarre.

  "Zhi Di, don't talk nonsense." Fang Xiangming rebuked in a low voice. The latter was shocked and immediately shut up.

  Fang Yingying forced a smile and said: "Your affairs, I don't want to get involved."

  Fang Ming suddenly stopped in his tracks, reached out and gently patted the top of her little head, saying: "Ying'er, you... have grown up."

  The relationship between Fang's family and Xu Haifeng was very subtle at this time, and Fang Yingying could naturally sense it. However, she pretended to be unaware, if it were the former Fang Yingying, she would have to see it through to the end, but now, she already knew that some things were better left untouched.

  Fang Xing let out a sigh, people will all grow up after all, even that most innocent little sister has slowly grown up too. It's just unknown whether losing her carefree and pure innocence is good fortune or bad luck for her.

  Upon entering the main hall, Lin Wanxian had already been waiting for a long time. After exchanging greetings with the two of them, she also dispensed with the formalities and directly said: "General Fang, just yesterday, the Western Barracks received a national letter from the Xiongnu people."

  "What's written on it?" Fang Ming knew that what was written on it must be extraordinary, otherwise Lin Wanwan wouldn't have come to discuss with him in such a hurry.

  However, he still had some vigilance in his heart. The Western Camp was guarded by his uncle Er Dongjie, but before he came here, he had not received any letter from Er Dongjie.

  There are only two explanations, one is that the intelligence system under Xu Haifeng has already surpassed Er Dong's years of deployment in the northwest. As for the second, there was a hint of chill in his heart.

  A few days ago, Su Chunwei mentioned in passing that Er Dong and Xu Haifeng have been getting very close recently, the implication being self-evident.

  Er Dongjie is not an ordinary person, he is the general person in charge of Fang's family in the northwest, and has been living carefully here for decades. The strength is strong, it can be said that it is deeply rooted. If even he chose to surrender to Xu Haifeng, then the impact on Fang's family would be unparalleled.

  Fang Xiang slightly shook his head, putting aside the worries in his mind, and gazed at Lin Wanxian with both eyes, waiting for her response.

  Lin Wanwan waved her hand, and the attendant Wanling walked to the front of Ming with a tray in her hand. On the tray was a neatly stacked letter.

  He stretched out his hand and picked it up, unfolding it to take a look. Suddenly, his eyes gleamed with anger, and his steady hands trembled slightly.

  "Big brother..."

  It's rare to see him so flustered, and both Fang Zhiji and Fang Xingyun exclaimed in surprise.

  Fang Ming closed his eyes and said: "After the tenth day, the Xiongnu people will send the bodies of the two uncles and Li Bogu to the Western Great Camp."

  He had tried his best to control his emotions, but a hint of sadness and indignation could still be heard.

  Xiang Zhi let out a cry of surprise and could no longer care about etiquette, snatching the letter from his elder brother's hand and scanning it at a glance.

  A few lines in the letter have already made it clear that they are willing to return Fang Lingde and Li Bohu's bodies to Wulong City at the request of Haifeng.

  His heart was filled with great sorrow, and he almost burst into tears on the spot. Fortunately, his surname was quite strong-willed and didn't want to lose his composure in front of Lin Wanxian, a stranger. He hastily covered his forehead with his hand, wiping away two teardrops from the corner of his eye, and forcibly suppressed the overwhelming grief.

  Fang Yingying took a step forward, gently grasping his large hand and softly calling out: "Zhi Ge..."

  Taking a deep breath, Di Zhì nodded heavily towards his sister and said, "I'm fine, don't worry."

  Fang Ming had also experienced the pain of losing his father and deeply understood its bitterness. However, this matter could not be consoled, and only time could slowly heal the bleeding wound in his heart. He let out a soft sigh and asked: "Is this a big deal? Have you informed Second Brother and the Su and Tang families?"

  "Not yet informed." Lin Wanxian saw the direction of Ming's furrowed brow and immediately knew what he was thinking, explaining: "Before Husband left, he repeatedly instructed. Major events in the city, everything is under General's command."

  Fang Ming's heart moved slightly, but at this time he had no room to think more. He just hesitated for a moment and said: "So, please ask your younger brother to inform the second brother, and also invite Su Chunwei and Tang Qili, the two masters of the house, to come here and discuss together."

  Lin Wanxian responded with a single word, gave an order, and the people waiting outside the hall for a long time quickly left after receiving the command. It can be seen that she was well-prepared, even the personnel were arranged properly, just waiting for one word from her direction.

  Xu Haifeng was far away in the Taihang Mountains, even if the messenger had a speed like dark clouds, he would not be able to arrive on time. However, Su and Tang, the two newly appointed heads of households, arrived here very quickly after receiving the news.

  They didn't know what was going on, and when they saw the sorrowful expression of Xiangfang Zhi, they couldn't help but feel surprised. It wasn't until Xiangfang explained it to them that the two finally understood.

  They consoled each other for a few words and thought of their elders at home, also feeling heavy-hearted.

  "Fang brother, who are you planning to send to the Western camp?" Tang Qili asked after a pause.

  Before Fang Ming could respond, Fang Zhi, who was standing beside him, spoke up and said: "In any case, I'm going for sure." His words were simple, but firm and resolute, leaving no room for discussion.

  Su Chunwei sighed: "Zhi brothers must go. Fang brother, I don't know if Li Guanying's injury has healed?"

  Fang Xiang nodded slightly and said, "Guangying's injury is only a superficial wound. Although he lost a lot of blood, after recuperation, he has recovered. This time, it should be counted as his credit."

  Everyone nodded in agreement, with no one speaking out against it.

  The Huns most revered heroes. The commander of the Wolf Regiment, Li Bohu, led three hundred warriors to guard the North Victory Gate for two hours before finally falling in battle. This story has long been spread throughout the land, and even the Khan himself did not deny it.

  Since his body returned to Wulong City, as the only surviving descendant and outstanding disciple of Li Jia's family, Li Guanying would have to attend no matter what.

  "This time, count me in as well." Feng Ming said after a moment of contemplation.

  "Fang brother, now that you're leaving, Wulong City is left without a leader, isn't it..." Su Chun furrowed his brow and said.

  "It doesn't matter, the Cao troops have already retreated thirty miles, and their reinforcements haven't arrived yet. The Sleeping Dragon Castle is as stable as Mount Tai now, so don't worry, Brother Su."

  Upon hearing Duanmu Hongliang's words, Su Chunwei let out a sigh, knowing that he had already made up his mind and further persuasion would be futile.

  After another round of discussion, these few people with the most power in Wudang City dispersed.

  Tang Qili came onto the main street and was just about to mount his horse when he suddenly heard someone calling out from behind him, "Elder cousin."

  He turned around and saw a young girl walking towards him with elegant steps, it was his little sister Tang Rou'er.

  "Big brother, it's rare for you to come once, don't you want to chat with your little sister?"
