"Ah, I knew it was just a dream. I pinched myself and didn't feel any pain at all. It's only natural, why would such good fortune fall upon me? How could an ordinary person like me possibly get their hands on the legendary military book that everyone wants to see?" Zhang Feng shook his head in disappointment, and he didn't even bother opening the package anymore. He knew that even if he opened it in the dream, all he would see was a blank sheet of paper.

  "Ah... I'm asking you, little brother, are you done pinching? If you keep pinching, my face is going to be ruined!" You're definitely not in pain, it's not your face, but Father is almost in agony. Xu Sheng couldn't bear it anymore. Zhang Feng didn't hold back with this move, trying to verify if he was dreaming or not, and pinched Xu Sheng so hard that his eyes were about to tear up.

  "Ah!" Seeing Xu Sheng's painful expression, Zhang Feng hurriedly looked down and saw that his hand was indeed tightly pinching Xu Sheng's face. He quickly loosened his grip, looking embarrassed.

  At this time, he also reacted and realized that it was not a dream. Xu Sheng had indeed given him so many military books. Zhang Feng, who was overjoyed, wanted to open the package and take a look at the book he had been dreaming of.

  "Slow down! With the wind outside being so biting, you should go back to your tent and take a look. Remember, don't let anyone else see!" Xu Sheng gently rubbed his reddened face, this time he would definitely be laughed at when he went back, he had to think of an excuse to cover it up.

  "I know, Big Brother Xu has been so kind to me, Zhang Feng is grateful. Please accept my bow! I will definitely repay you in the future!" Zhang Feng said and bowed deeply.

  "Alright, alright, stop messing around with these useless things. I told you to follow me to Ying Tian and you actually can't make it."

  "This... heh heh heh..." Zhang Xiao shook his head in embarrassment, and decided to forget about going to respond to the summons after all. Although he felt a deep sense of obligation, he still wanted to stay in Beidi, after all, his brothers were still here.

  Xu Sheng didn't even need to think about it, he knew that this kid's hesitation definitely meant he wasn't going. With a gloomy wave of his hand, he turned around and went back to apply some ointment to reduce the swelling on his face.

  "Right! There's one more thing you have to remember! That is, no matter how many military books you read, they are useless. A true general is forged on the battlefield!"

  "Hmm!" Zhang Feng carefully pondered these words, and then happily hugged his bundle and left.

  "Damn... this kid's got quite a punch! What the hell am I supposed to do with this huge swelling?!" Xu Sheng looked at his own face, which was swollen like a balloon in the water, and felt extremely anxious. He had already aroused suspicion by sneaking back into the camp earlier, and now if those rabbit bastards saw his face...

  "Head! General wants to see you on an urgent matter!" Just then Xu Sheng's subordinate rushed in, frantically searching for him.

  Xu Sheng immediately heard that the commander had an urgent matter and didn't think about his own face anymore, so he quickly went out of the account to find Xu Da. The name left in the account was stunned and stayed in place, and earlier it seemed like he saw a bandage on his master's face?

  Xu Sheng sprinted to the commander's tent, where he met Mu Ying and several other generals who had just finished their discussion.

  "Hey! Xu Sheng, was your face stung by a bee?" Mu Ying's eyes were sharp and she immediately saw the high swelling on Xu Sheng's left cheek. She asked in surprise, seemingly unable to see the two finger marks.

  "It wasn't him, it was me who accidentally bumped into myself." Xu Sheng hastily covered up, thinking that this was the end of it, and now that these marquises and generals knew about it, didn't that mean the whole army would know too? It was all Zhang Feng's fault for not pinching him in a more discreet place.

  "General has something to call me, I'll take a step first and not keep you company." Xu Sheng didn't want to drag things out with these people anymore, lest they get more and more off track. He hastily rushed into the commander's tent, leaving behind only a burst of loud laughter.

  At this time, there were only Xu Da and two personal bodyguards left in the account. Those two people were naturally under Xu Sheng's command. At this time, seeing their own head rushing into the account, they were still curious when they saw the big package that was high and swollen. The two men stared straight ahead, staring at Xu Sheng's left face.

  "What are you looking at! Can't even stand guard properly!" Xu Sheng scolded, not daring to show his anger to Mu Ying and the others, but having no qualms about being harsh with his own subordinates.

  Two of the Imperial Guards turned their heads away, but their faces, which were trying to stifle a smile, betrayed their inner thoughts.

  "What are you talking about?" Xu Da, who was originally looking at the map, heard Xu Sheng's scolding and asked in confusion. This time, Xu Da also looked stunned, but he didn't have any reservations and burst out laughing loudly, leaving Xu Sheng standing awkwardly on the spot.

  "What's going on... I'm asking you, how did it turn out like this? You went to deliver a book and ended up fighting with someone? And Zhang Feng even scratched someone? Hahaha..."

  "Master, you don't know, I was just delivering the letter to Zhang Xiazi, but he thought he was dreaming and didn't believe me. He insisted on verifying it, who knew that kid pinched my face with one hand, and even said it doesn't hurt, I was so angry that I almost beat him up."

  "Oh? Then you hit him?"

  "I was thinking, but Mojiang's face is still being held hostage by others, I don't dare to struggle hard, who knows how that kid would take drastic measures! And even if we were to fight, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to beat him." Xu Sheng said with a sorrowful face, feeling wronged and unafraid to lose face in front of his grandfather, he poured out all his grievances.

  This time, not only did Xu Da laugh even louder, but also the two guards couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  "I really didn't expect that Xu Sheng, who had defeated three enemy generals back then, would also have a time when he admitted defeat to others. Was that kid really as formidable as you said? I only remember the last time he charged into the enemy's formation alone and got reckless." It took Xu Da a while to collect his smile, this might be one of the few embarrassing things about Xu Sheng.

  "It's not that I'm exaggerating, nor is it that I can lift him up. Last time in Gaozhou City, I had a fight with this kid, and he was the one who took the initiative to attack me. Even with 70% of my strength, our fists and palms clashed, but his blows sent mine flying."

  "Is there such a thing?" Xu Da was somewhat puzzled, knowing that Xu Sheng's martial arts in the army could be considered among the top few. Except for Wang Bi and Mu Ying, no one was his match, but he didn't expect a small general flag to be so formidable.

  Xu Sheng saw that his general was interested and hastily added oil to the fire, telling him again about what had happened in Gaozhou City, especially Zhang Feng's feat of fighting alone for several hours without retreating.

  Xu Da stroked his beard in surprise, not expecting that young man to be so formidable. Could the martial arts of Wudang Mountain really be this powerful? He had only given him the military book because he was looking out for Xu Sheng's face, but now it seemed like he should pay more attention to this little general.

  "Right! What's the urgent matter that Master Gong has called me for?" Zhang Feng asked after speaking for half a day, Xu Sheng suddenly remembered that Xu Da had something to find him, and hurriedly asked.

  "It's not an urgent matter, the imperial edict from the emperor has just arrived in the capital, clearly stating that we must withdraw our troops by the end of August at the latest, otherwise supplies will be cut off. I want you to inform the Right Route Army and have them bring the imperial envoy with them as they depart."

  "It's not a big deal, anyway!" With still some time left until the end of August, Xu Sheng couldn't help but point to his own face, wanting to go back and reduce the swelling first. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to show his face again when going to the Right Route Army.

  Seeing that tall and red big bag, Xu Da couldn't help but want to laugh again, waving his hand to signal Xu Sheng to hurry up and deal with it, those two deep finger prints were really too eye-catching...
