In the Southern Marsh Country's military camp.

Fang Zinan was in the middle of studying military affairs when he suddenly saw Guard Ding rushing in from outside. He was so excited that his voice changed as he shouted: "Great General, General Xiao is not dead! He even killed Northern Moon's Great General Li Qiming!"

"What?" Fang Zinan put down the map and asked again in disbelief: "Tell me clearly."

"Reporting to the Great General, General Xiao did not die. He annihilated all of Li Qiming's troops!" Protector Ding gestured with his hand, "This is the news I just received."

"What about General Xiao?" Fang Zinan asked again.

Guard Ding's expression darkened and he shook his head: "This subordinate is also not clear. This subordinate only found out that he defeated Li Qiming's army last night, but does not know anything else."

Fang Zinan raised an eyebrow and said in confusion, "Since General Xiao is not dead and has even defeated Li Qiming, why didn't he come over to meet us? We left a trail along the way, so General Xiao should be able to find us."

Guard Ding thought for a while and then replied: "Great General. Maybe General Xiao and the others have suffered heavy casualties and need to rest before coming back to meet with the army.

"What you said makes sense …" Fang Zinan's calm face revealed a hint of a smile, "How about this? Bring some men to investigate General Xiao's whereabouts. If there is any news, report it to me immediately."

"This lowly general obeys your command!" Protector Ding replied and left.

There was finally news of Xiao Tian Yuan. Although he had always strongly believed that Xiao Tian Yuan would not die, he was still worried. Now that he heard that Xiao Tian Yuan had defeated Li Qiming, his contributions were not to be ignored. Thinking of this, he opened the tent flap and walked out.

Outside, the autumn sun was shining brightly and the weather was beautiful. The army camp was still alive under the blue sky. The grass in the distance had not yet dried up, but it had already turned deep and gloomy. The world was vast and endless.

Fang Zinan walked along the military camp. No matter what, he already had news of Xiao Tianyuan, so he felt relieved in his heart.

"General, why are you here?" Dong Fang Luo Li's voice came from behind.

Fang Zinan turned his head and smiled. "So, it's the princess?"

"Oh right, I have some good news for you." Dong Fang Luo Li smiled at him, her eyes filled with joy.

Fang Zinan smiled and asked: "Are you trying to tell me about General Xiao?"

Dong Fang Luo Li was surprised and asked in surprise, "How did you know?"

"I just received news that Xiao Tianyuan's army had defeated Li Qiming."

"I thought you didn't know about this, so I came here to tell you. I didn't expect you to already know." Dong Fang Luo Li was a little disappointed, her face full of a cute and innocent expression.

Fang Zinan found this funny, "I just got the news too, you don't have to be so disappointed."

"It doesn't matter. Since I've come to notify you, I'm afraid that you will be worried. Since you know about it, you can rest assured. You don't need to worry about this matter anymore." Dong Fang Luo Li quickly regained her composure and revealed a smile.

"Thank you for your concern, Princess." Fang Zinan turned around.

When the wind blew, Fang Zinan felt much better. When he saw that it was already noon, he said: "I wonder if Great General Xiao will come to reunite with my army tonight?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, I believe that General Xiao will definitely rush over as soon as possible." Dong Fang Luo Li said softly.

Fang Zinan smiled.

The two of them stood outside the military camp for a while. Then, Dong Fang Luo Li raised her eyes and looked at him: "General, it's already noon. Let's go back and have a meal."

"Sure." Fang Zinan nodded.

As the two were about to go back, they saw a soldier rushing over. He saw Fang Zinan and hurriedly said, "General, I have something important to report to you."

"What is it?"

"General, we received a report that the enemy is attacking our troops from all sides. They are less than five miles away from us now."

Fang Zinan's face suddenly changed, "The enemy army is coming fast."

"Then what should we do?" Dong Fang Luo Li was shocked.

Fang Zinan strode into the tent, asking the soldier, "Do you know who the enemy sent this general?"

"It's the Eastern Yue Kingdom's Grand Tutor's nephew, Dugu Hong."

The expression on Dong Fang Luo Li's face became even more surprised, and she cried out involuntarily: "So it's him?"

"The princess knows of this person?"

"Of course I know that the Grand Preceptor and the army of Beiyue have joined forces and are led by Dugu Hong. He has great martial arts skills and is familiar with military tactics. Even father has praised him in the past, so he's definitely not easy to deal with." Dong Fang Luo Li told Fang Zi Nan everything she knew.

Fang Zinan raised an eyebrow and asked: "Princess, are you saying that he is familiar with martial arts?"

"That's right!"

Fang Zinan smiled, "I have a way to deal with him." He then said to the soldier, "Pass my order, the army will retreat quickly." Do not bring anything, and leave this place first. "

In less than an hour, Dugu Hong's army had already arrived at the campsite. There were wolves scattered all over the ground, and there was no time to pack up the tents. Flag was lying on the ground, and the ground was littered with food and silver.

The personal guard took a look at the warm porridge in the pot and reported with a smile, "General, this porridge is still warm."

Dugu Hong smiled proudly and said, "Abandon the Armadominus, Fang Zinan really retreated fast."

The soldiers beside him saw the silver, grain, and chicken and ducks, so they rushed up to them. "There's food …" "There's silver …" He desperately tried to snatch something from his bosom.

With one soldier in such a state, the other soldiers were as though they had gone mad. They rushed forward even faster, afraid that they would lose the weapons in their hands.

Seeing this, Dugu Hong shouted angrily, "You're not allowed to take it."

The guards hurried forward to stop them, "Stop, don't steal anymore."

"Don't steal anymore!"

However, the soldiers under his command were in a fluster. How could they be willing to listen to the marshal's words? They continued to snatch with great pleasure.

Dugu Hong was so angry that he shook his head, "You have no discipline at all. If it wasn't for our speed, how would the army of the Southern Marsh have been able to escape?"

"Reporting to the great general, we are still not going to chase after the great army of the Southern Marsh Country."

Dugu Hong thought for a moment, "Since they've already received news of our arrival, they've retreated. We've already lost the advantage. If we chase after the enemy now, the proverb is' Do not go overboard. I'm afraid if we continue to chase after them, we'll fall into their trap …"

"Then what should we do?"

"There's a ready-made military camp, but we'll take a break here and plan things out later."

"Yes."

The great army quickly settled down here. After a short march, they were tired and hungry. Dugu Hong instructed them to point to the porridge in the pot and smiled, "This porridge is still warm. It saves us from cooking in the pot."

The soldiers roared with laughter. Someone said, "It seems that the armies of the Southern Marsh are very filial. They have even prepared food for us."

Another person laughed and said, "That's right, that's right. We can enjoy it."

Another person said, "What are we waiting for? Everyone, let's start eating."

"General, be careful of the poison!" The soldiers kindly reminded him.

Hu Hong said disapprovingly: "What are you afraid of? Why not just give it a try with a silver needle? "
