Originally, according to His Majesty's orders, the army must stay here for seven full days before returning to the front lines. Today was the last day, Wei Guogong stood on a patch of empty ground outside the camp.

Wei Guogong looked at the countless young and determined faces around him that were both familiar and unfamiliar. Her turbid eyes gradually shifted to somewhere far away.

His thoughts gradually drifted into the past.

He had also been young. Back then, he had ridden into the border, watched the long river and the setting sun, watched the desert smoke, and had his face covered with dust and sand carved into the pages of his memories.

He had promised to make her motherland happy and free from worries, and he had even risked his life to see the peace of this world and the glory of all those who had come to congratulate him. Yet now, he was still on the road to achieving his dream, even though he had long since lost his life and was willing to turn into an old man who would do his best for the country that he had spent his entire life in.

"Duke …" Shi Chen Wen's solemn and stiff voice pulled the Wei Guogong back from her distant memories. Facing the sunlight, there were faint traces of water coming out from the corners of her eyes, but in the instant she turned around, it sprinkled onto the light breeze without a trace.

"Where are the enemy troops?"

"Reporting to the king, the enemy troops are clamoring outside the city!"

Shi Chen Wen lowered his head, his back slightly bent, his face still emotionless, "Duke of Guo, are we still not out of the city to fight?"

"No." After he finished speaking, Wei Guogong turned and slowly entered the tent, leaving Shi Chen Wen alone there, frowning deeply.

Today was the seventh day that the Emperor had ordered the army to station here. Shi Chen Wen and all the other officers and soldiers were extremely puzzled, but at the same time, they were also curious as to how the Prince Fu was going to deal with this situation.

The next day was the release day of His Majesty the Emperor's Seven Days' imprisonment. No one was excited, but on the contrary, they were exceptionally worried, because currently, primary eye and his hundred thousand elite soldiers had appeared under the city walls as usual.

The enemy troops did not let out any curses or curses today, but just quietly sat below the city walls. It was as if they had long since known that they were going to leave camp and return to the front lines, and that they thought that they would be forced to open the city gates and be forced to fight, or else they would not be able to leave this place.

Wei Guogong had long known the other party's plan. The secret letter she had sent last night had already been exchanged, and she wanted her own senior brother to lend him a hand and think of a way to force the primary eye to retreat.

With regards to this senior brother of his, Wei Guogong had complete trust in his character.

When the ring-hour arrived, Wei Guogong was counting the people on stage, neatly opening the city gates at noon. All the soldiers were already gathering their strength, the long swords and long spears in their hands were all pressed against their chests, a cold aura pervaded the air above the entire army.

Separated by just a wall made of boulders, the soldiers could feel the tense atmosphere created by the enemy troops outside the city. It was as if some emotion was flowing in the air and could tear the people inside the city into pieces in the next moment.

The huge bolt on the mottled red lacquer door was lifted with much effort by two big burly men. They threw it to the side and immediately opened it again. Each of them held a big hole in the door and tried to pull it open with all their might.

With a "yiyaya" sound, the massive city gate covered in red lacquer slowly opened in front of everyone's tense eyes. Dust flew everywhere as tens of thousands of Ferghana Horses galloped down, leaving the soldiers in a daze.

The primary eye left the base of the city wall with its soldiers in a hurry. The soldiers looked at the empty ground with doubt in their hearts.

As the main marshal, Wei Guogong did not care at all. She confidently and confidently moved ahead of the group, while Shi Chen Wen galloped behind him and arrived at the side of the Wei Guogong, stopping just a step away from them.

"Duke of Guo, this time, the primary eye retreated and let us go back. Between the three of us, this official feels that something is off."

"Oh?"

The corner of Wei Guogong's mouth held a faintly discernable smile, her mood seemed to be extremely good. Regarding Shi Chen Wen's questions, he did not help her answer them, but only tilted his head and smiled at him.

"Today, when we return to the front lines, it will be the best time to intercept our army. If we are trapped in the city, with one shot and two condors, one will infuriate His Majesty and scold us for delaying the flight, and secondly, the primary eye can leave us in the city until we run out of bullets and run out of food, and we can't help but surrender to him. This kind of plan where there are two birds on one stone, yet the primary eye gives up."

Wei Guogong laughed and nodded, "In these few days, you and I have been through a lot of strange things. From the moment His Majesty made us come here to receive food and materials for no reason, to when Fang Xu was taken down by an unknown group of enemies by an unknown group of tens of thousands of people, is it rare for you to see all the strangeness of this place? "

Shi Chen Wen's sword-like eyebrows furrowed deeply as he lowered his head to think about the meaning behind Wei Guogong's words. Then, he thought about the various unexplainable and bizarre things that had happened in the past few days, and they became a mess that lingered in his mind, unable to be sorted out.

"Young man, don't be so cautious. This is the so-called 'when the enemy comes, when the enemy comes'. It all depends on the will of the heavens. This old man believes that the heavens will definitely not abandon us."

Wei Guogong rode closer to Shi Chen Wen, holding onto the reins in one hand, and extending the other hand onto the other's shoulder. She patted the horse lightly and felt the other party's body tremble slightly, but she did not say anything more.

The moon was shining with willow branches, and people lived around dusk.

When everyone returned to the Dreamy Cloud City near the Yongan Bridge, it was already the third day since the beginning. Everyone quickly set up their tents, and quickly built fortifications nearby before burying the stove to cook.

The Wei Guogong had Shi Chen Wen bring along the left and right deputy generals and when they left a few days ago, she had the young men pull the giant warship that was back to the city into the Eternal An River.

The Dreamy Cloud City was located on the northwest side of the Yongan River, one of the most prosperous and affluent of the many cities that were seized in a single breath. The Dreamy Cloud City was located on the north side of the Yongan River, one of the wealthiest and wealthiest cities that was seized in the first place.

After the Wei Guogong accepted them, not only did she take in a few travelling adventurers, but the local wealthy merchants also took the initiative to donate their finances and expand the reserves of the Wei Guogong.

After everything was prepared, three days had passed. Three days later, Wei Guogong sent Shi Chen Wen to challenge the one sob tribe's enemy camp for the first time.
