Chu Lian thought that He Changdi had instructed her to do something secret, so she stopped trying to find out. When Steward Qin came out of the reception hall, he sighed.

He thought to himself, I don't know what's wrong with Third Young Master. He told them to pass down the order that as long as all the men in the residence were still in Liangzhou, they couldn't shave their beards. Those who disobeyed the order would be chased out.

Steward Qin was only in his twenties this year. Now that he was working under Chu Lian, he was already a well-respected manager. It was time for him to settle the important matters of his life. Now that he had to grow a beard, which girl would fall for him?

They were the fish in the pond that got caught in the crossfire.

When He Changdi rushed back to the Northern Border Military Camp, there was still a trace of the sunset over the grasslands. It was time for the soldiers to cook.

At this time, the camp was the busiest. After the search for soldiers ended, it was time to change shifts.

He Changdi pulled on the reins and slowed the horse down when he was about to reach the wooden fence of the camp.

The soldier who had changed shifts stood ramrod straight at the entrance of the camp. The cold wind made the tip of his nose red, but the hand holding the long spear didn't slacken at all.

He Changdi whipped his horse and was about to enter the camp when he was suddenly stopped by two long spears in front of the horse.

The soldier who stopped the horse raised his head and tried to make himself look mighty and extraordinary. He shouted, "Where did you come from!

Trespassers will die! "

He Sanlang's handsome face turned stiff, appearing even colder. Unfortunately, it didn't scare away the long spear in the soldier's hand.

The soldier's small eyes narrowed. He felt that this person was somewhat familiar, but thinking about it, there was no one in the army who looked like this. Recently, Tu Hun had sent out many spies. Previously, the captain had reminded everyone to be on guard. If this person in front of him was a spy sent by Tu Hun, what should they do?

He Changdi frowned and said coldly, "Right Wing Army, infantry captain He Changdi!"

The two soldiers looked at each other, their eyes filled with suspicion. One of the soldiers sneered, "Captain He is clearly not like you!

Stop talking nonsense and hand over the waist tag! "

He Changdi's face darkened. He had gone out to investigate under General Qian's secret order and didn't bring his waist tag. How was he going to get it now?

The two subordinates behind him were also anxious and explained, "Little brother, this really is Captain He. We aren't lying. If you don't believe us, you can go in and ask Captain Guo and the others to come out and identify him."

The two soldiers were still skeptical. One of the soldiers muttered, "Don't treat us like blind people. Isn't Commandant He's face covered in a beard?

This pretty boy doesn't look half as handsome as Captain He! "

This pretty boy doesn't look half as handsome as Captain He! "

The soldier's voice was very low, but it still fell into He Sanlang's ears. The corner of He Sanlang's eyes twitched, and he suddenly regretted shaving his beard.

Sima Hui led her two female deputies out of the commander's tent. The tall and burly Gao Zhangwei escorted them out.

"General Sima Sima is truly a heroine. With your help, I believe the Tuhun soldiers will no longer be a threat."

Although Gao Zhangwei was tall, his eyes were thin and long, and his forehead was more protruding than the average person. As he spoke, his eyes couldn't help but wander around, occasionally stopping on Sima Sima Hui's chest and neck.

Dressed in military attire, Sima Hui's skin wasn't as fair as a lady's, but she was tall and had long legs, and her chest was bulging. Her long hair was tied into a ponytail, and there was a red feather tied to it. Her brows were more heroic than the average woman, and her words and actions weren't bashful at all. She was forthright and generous. She was a very special woman.

How could Sima Hui not see the slightly evil look in Gao Zhangwei's eyes? Although she was disdainful, she didn't show it.

She cupped her fists at Gao Zhangwei. "Gao Zhangwei, you don't need to see me off. My tent isn't far away, and I'll be needing your guidance in the future."

"Not at all. General Sima is a heroine of our border army. A few days ago, the Tuhun soldiers launched a sneak attack. If General Sima hadn't arrived in time, the left wing would have suffered heavy casualties. In order to express my gratitude, I'll see you off."

Sima Hui frowned slightly. This time, she didn't refuse. She nodded and then turned to leave.

Gao Zhangwei immediately gave his two subordinates a look and followed behind Sima Hui.

Gao Zhangwei glanced at the two ugly subordinates behind him, feeling satisfied.

Although he wasn't as handsome as Gao Zhangwei, and he wasn't as refined as Zhang Mai, he felt that his appearance wasn't bad in the border army. Especially now that he was dressed in shiny silver armor, his hair neatly combed, his face shaved, and there were two green leaves behind him. At the very least, he was better than the bearded He from the right wing!

This Sima Hui was just an old man. How could he not be able to take her down?

For a moment, Gao Zhangwei's confidence swelled, as if he had already taken down Sima Hui.

The two of them walked through the noisy evening camp. Soldiers walked back and forth beside them, and Gao Zhangwei kept looking for opportunities to talk to Sima Hui.

Sima Hui tightly pursed her lips. Her face was expressionless, and she only responded from time to time.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in front of them. A soldier quickly ran in the direction of the right wing's tent. Because he ran in such a hurry, he tripped in front of Sima Hui. Sima Hui hurriedly reached out to support the soldier.

When the soldier saw that the one supporting him was the new female general, he was overwhelmed by the favor.

Sima Hui frowned. "What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"

When the female general asked, the soldier naturally didn't dare to hide anything. "General, someone is trying to break into the camp. This lowly one is going to find Gao Zhangwei."

Sima Hui was startled. She told the soldier to hurry. After thinking for a moment, she also walked quickly towards the entrance of the camp.

Before Gao Zhangwei could say anything, he saw that Sima Hui had already left with quick steps. He gritted his teeth and hurriedly followed.

When they arrived at the entrance of the camp, Sima Hui glanced over and saw a tall man wearing a black cloak standing outside the camp's fence. He was holding onto a handsome horse.

His back was facing the entrance of the camp, and his straight back was like a straight bamboo.

A soldier at the side recognized the female general and immediately greeted her loudly. Perhaps attracted by the voice behind him, He Changdi turned around.

When that face entered Sima Hui's eyes, she forgot to breathe for a moment.

Her eyes widened, and her mind unconsciously sighed. How could there be such a good-looking man?

No matter which part of his facial features, it was as if they were meticulously carved by the heavens. They were perfect without a single flaw.

Gao Zhangwei was also stunned. When he regained his senses, he was filled with jealousy.

He clenched his fists. Where did this man come from? There had never been such a person in the camp!

The advantage that he was so proud of was instantly reduced to dust in front of this man.

He noticed that Sima Hui was looking at this man with a trace of infatuation, and his anger surged, "What are you all standing there for? Don't you know that the first rule of the military law is that trespassers will die!"

He Changdi's gaze fell on Gao Zhangwei, and it didn't even stay for a second before he looked away, as if he was disgusted and didn't want to look at him anymore.

He Changdi didn't say anything, but his subordinate behind him was furious, "Commandant Gao, don't go too far. Our commander is the Right Wing Army's Commandant He. Don't slander him!"

What!

Commandant He? That bearded He Changdi?

What a joke. Even if he's an imposter, he should at least paste half a beard on his face.

Gao Zhangwei didn't believe it at all. He coldly mocked, "A pretty boy like him dares to impersonate Commandant He? If he's Commandant He, I'll be the General!"

"You …"

"Alright, stop arguing. Whether it's Commandant He or not, we'll know once the people from the Left Wing Army arrive," Sima Hui suddenly said.

Her words still carried some weight, and the ruckus immediately died down. Not long after, a soldier led Commandant Guo, Zhang Mai, Xiao Hongyu, and a few others over.

Commandant Guo looked at He Changdi as if he was looking at a ghost. He quickly walked over and patted He Changdi's shoulder. He asked in confusion, "Are you really Zixiang?"

The corner of He Sanlang's mouth twitched. He lowered his voice and said, "Big Brother Guo, you hid the Fire Repelling Drawing under your pillow. One night …"

Commandant Guo's face stiffened. He quickly grabbed He Sanlang's shoulder and said, "Brat, you usually act like an old man. Great, now that you've shaved, no one will recognize you!"

Xiao Hongyu ran over and stood in front of He Sanlang. She stared at him with a pair of bull eyes, "Oh my god, it's really Big Brother He!

Why did you shave your beard? "

Seeing He Changdi's darkening face, Zhang Mai couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Alright, alright, it's all a misunderstanding. This is indeed Commandant He. Everyone, please disperse. It's going to be mealtime soon." Zhang Mai handed the waist tag to the soldier guarding the camp gate.

The soldier handed the waist tag back in fear and trepidation. He even touched his head and apologized to He Changdi with a silly face.

He Sanlang waved his hand, not planning to argue with the soldier.

The brothers were about to leave when Si Mahui suddenly called out, "Commandant He, please wait."

He Changdi turned slightly and bowed to Si Mahui. He asked in a low voice, "What can I do for you, General Sima?"

Si Mahui's face blushed, but it wasn't obvious under the dim sky. However, her rapid speech revealed her nervousness.

"May I ask if Commandant He is the son of Mingzhou's border general, Great General He?"

He Changdi frowned slightly and nodded after a moment. Although his background wasn't well known in the north, he didn't deliberately hide it. Commandant Guo and the others were well aware of it, so there was nothing he couldn't admit.

"I've admired Great General He for a long time. I wonder if Uncle He and Auntie He are well.

Is the matriarch at home healthy? "Si Mahui's face turned even redder when she asked this. She looked at He Changdi expectantly.

He Sanlang's expression didn't change, but his tone turned cold. "General Sima, I haven't been home for a long time. I really don't know how things are at home. I still have matters to attend to, so forgive me for not accompanying you."

With that, He Sanlang turned and left. Si Mahui stared blankly at He Changdi's long figure gradually disappearing in the dim sky. She felt an indescribable sense of loss.
