After a few days of grandiose progress, the army finally arrived at the border region. By the time the army arrived, the place was already a dead end. The people were homeless, and a large number of them had fled to other places to seek refuge, leaving behind only a few broken arms. The place was sparsely populated and the Huns were extremely brutal.

Xuanyuan Zhiling was even more anxious when he saw this situation. He never thought that the battle at the border would have reached such a state. Xuanyuan Zhiling turned his head to look at the hundred thousand strong army. They were almost unable to hold on, if that was the case, how were they going to fight the Huns?

"The situation here is already so grim. It seems that we will have to fight the Huns tomorrow to save the people and the fire." Seeing this situation, Qin Wu gritted her teeth in anger, wishing that she could immediately rush to the Huns' nest. However, as the marshal's concern, Xuanyuan Zhiling's concern was not only about the little amount of food they had. Now, the soldiers' morale was greatly reduced due to the lack of food, allowing them to go to the battlefield tomorrow to kill the enemies.

Thinking to this point, Xuanyuan Zhiling's face revealed a serious expression, and said indifferently: "We should wait, I can't let my soldiers go to the battlefield hungry." Finished, Xuanyuan Zhiling ordered the camp to be set up. That night, Xuanyuan Zhiling paced back and forth in his Grand Commander Camp. He knew that the only way now was to ask Xuanyuan Mocheng to hurry up and send him the food. Just then, a guard at the door came in and reported, "Marshal, Second Prince requests an audience."

The guard's words caused Xuanyuan Zhiling to immediately perk up, and he immediately ordered the soldiers to bring Second Prince to the Grand Commander Camp. After a while, Second Prince Xuanyuan Mocheng stood in front of Xuanyuan Zhiling. He looked at him with an indifferent face.

Second brother, I have been waiting for you for a long time. If your food doesn't come soon, then my entire army will starve to death. Xuanyuan Zhiling asked coldly. As they spoke, Xuanyuan Zhiling's eyes were fixated on Xuanyuan Mocheng. But he didn't expect that Xuanyuan Mocheng would smile so faintly. Not only was he not angry, he had a leisurely look on his face.

Xuanyuan Mocheng laughed: "But didn't I come now? And none of your soldiers died. " When Xuanyuan Mocheng said this, he did not seem to care at all.

"You know that if my soldiers died, you wouldn't even have the chance to stand here right now." Xuanyuan Zhiling did not hold back. He was the Great Marshal now, and Xuanyuan Mocheng was merely a logistics officer for food. He simply did not have the qualifications to argue with him.

Xuanyuan Mocheng sighed lightly, "Fourth brother, why must you be so serious? Look, aren't I still standing here? Not a single one of your soldiers died, what if? " Xuanyuan Mocheng's words seemed to be towards Xuanyuan Zhiling. However, Xuanyuan Zhiling did not take it lying down, and said fiercely: "Then you should be glad, because I did not have the time to report to father that you were deliberately stalling for time. If my soldiers died of hunger, I will tell father that you are suspected of betraying our country!"

After Xuanyuan Zhiling finished speaking, Xuanyuan Mocheng's expression became extremely ugly, because he knew very well that the consequences of betraying the nation would be the same as being slashed into pieces. When Xuanyuan Mocheng heard these words, he could not help but inhale a breath of cold air.

Qin Wu knew that the Second Prince was here, so she also walked into the Grand Commander Camp. The moment she saw Second Prince, Qin Wu's expression seemed somewhat complicated, but she could still feel Qin Wu heaving a sigh of relief.

"Second Prince, you finally came. Otherwise, this huge army of one hundred thousand would have starved to death. They have been on the road for three whole days already, but they haven't eaten their fill." When Qin Wu said this, her tone was a little heavy. Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Zhiling naturally didn't say anything else and immediately ordered the army to prepare a good meal for the soldiers. Tonight, the entire military camp was filled with joy. With so many people here, they could finally eat a hearty meal.

In the Commander Camp, Xuanyuan Zhi Ling was in a very good mood. Although Xuanyuan Mo Cheng wasn't welcomed by him, tonight was a special day. He ordered for a banquet to be held, and invited the generals to have a good meal and have a few drinks. Of course, there were also Xuanyuan Mo Cheng and Qin Feng.

"Tonight, all the soldiers have finally endured the bitter days of lack of food. Tomorrow is also the day for us to officially start the war with the Huns, so tonight, this marshal will treat you all to a drink!" Xuanyuan Zhiling was in high spirits, and all the soldiers responded. Without saying a word, Xuanyuan Zhiling raised his head and downed the entire cup of wine. The soldiers also finished all the wine in the cup one after another. Xuanyuan Zhiling especially arranged for Qin Feng to sit in front of him, because Xuanyuan Mocheng's arrival had caused Xuanyuan Zhiling to lose all sense of security.

When Xuanyuan Zhiling sat down, his eyes swept across Qin Feng's body, and he silently observed him. Qin Feng also drank, his face had a faint blush. The Qin Feng now was like a lotus blooming in the water, beautiful to the point that Xuanyuan Zhiling was unable to shift his gaze away from her with a glance.

Just as everyone was drinking happily, suddenly, a guard outside the door rushed into the Grand Commander Camp. With a face full of panic, he gasped for air. Xuanyuan Zhiling was slightly dissatisfied with the guard, he was naturally unhappy that such a harmonious scene had been broken.

Marshal, it's not good. The death of so many warhorses in the military camp has caused panic among the soldiers." The guard's words immediately stunned everyone at the banquet. All of them looked at each other in dismay. The entire table instantly quietened down. After a while, Xuanyuan Zhi left the table with a dark expression and fiercely grabbed Xuanyuan Mo Cheng's neck as he asked, "It's you, isn't it? You brought the grain here. The horses were fine before, but now that they've eaten your grain, a large portion of them died. Give me a reasonable explanation! " Xuanyuan Zhi was extremely excited, the veins on his arms bulging as he grabbed onto Xuanyuan Mo Cheng, his sharp eyes exuding a dangerous aura.

However, Xuanyuan Mocheng laughed coldly: "I didn't do it. I don't think I'm stupid enough to poison food, right?" With a calm expression on Xuanyuan Mocheng's face, he suddenly froze. If it was really Xuanyuan Mocheng who poisoned him, he wouldn't be drinking with them so leisurely right now. The first thing he should have done was to leave this place. As he thought about it, Xuanyuan Zhiling released his hand and said coldly: "I can't clear your suspicions right now, but I will definitely investigate everything thoroughly!" After Xuanyuan Zhiling finished speaking, the other officers were worried. They stood up and said coldly: "Second Prince, the war horses have died after eating your food, shouldn't you give an explanation?"

After Xuanyuan Mocheng heard this, he revealed a complicated expression on his face: "If I was really going to poison them, you would've all gone to hell already. Horses are much more useful than trash like you. " After Xuanyuan Mocheng finished speaking, the generals were all humiliated to the point that their faces and necks were red.

"Marshal, I think we should investigate this thoroughly before coming to a conclusion. Otherwise, it would be unfair if we wrongly accuse anyone." Qin Wu had always been very rational, so she stepped forward to advise Xuanyuan Zhiling. Xuanyuan Zhiling nodded his head in agreement upon hearing Qin Wu's words. Now, other than this, there was no other way.

Seeing that the current atmosphere was this tense, a series of calculations quickly flashed across Qin Feng's eyes. "I want to know whether this matter is something that Second Prince will find out after a while." Qin Feng's words immediately attracted the attention of the others, and the generals who did not have any real ability only knew how to flatter and cheer then seized the opportunity to agree.

"What wangfei said isn't wrong. Wangfei's medical skills are superb. She will definitely be able to examine the cause of death of the warhorse." The generals had found an excellent opportunity to flatter him.

The gazes of Xuanyuan Zhiling and Xuanyuan Zhiling were attracted to him at almost the same time, but at this moment, Qin Feng had a serious expression.

"Madam, what idea do you have to determine the cause of death for this warhorse?" When Xuanyuan Zhiling said this, he purposely emphasized the word Madam, obviously meant for Xuanyuan Mocheng to hear. He knew that Qin Feng would not reject being called that. As expected, Qin Feng didn't say anything, she only said indifferently: "Dissection, after dissecting, we'll know what caused the horse's death." Qin Feng's words immediately stunned everyone present, because they never expected Qin Feng to be so bold.

Xuanyuan Zhiling nodded when he heard Qin Feng's words. "Since the wangfei wants to dissect the warhorse, then let's dissect the warhorse!" Xuanyuan Zhiling ordered from the table. After Xuanyuan Zhiling finished speaking, everyone's expression became serious, because the dissecting of the warhorses meant that they would soon find out if the Second Prince was wronged.

"Second Prince, from what I see, the death of a large number of horses is related to you. Even if you didn't poison them, it is because of the poor quality of the food. You have to bear half of the responsibility." A general in the crowd said. As generals, they were naturally eager to flatter the marshal. Second Prince only smiled faintly, his expression carrying a bit of contempt.

Qin Feng took her medical kit and walked in front, followed by a group of people who were waiting behind him to watch the show. When Qin Feng came to the stable, the place was already surrounded by soldiers. Everyone was discussing why the warhorse suddenly died.

"The army doctor is here." The generals dispersed the soldiers, and a group of people stood beside the corpses of the warhorses.
