Lu Qiyan said, "Forgive me for my reckless remarks, but this seems to be too much of a coincidence."

Coincidence in one or two places can be said to be a coincidence.

But if too many coincidences are added together...

I thought that because of their long-term brotherly friendship, Zhuo Dingsheng and An Leiting allowed him to visit and did not send anyone to deliberately eavesdrop, giving him the respect he deserved as the former commander of the Western Frontier Army.

However, An Leiting trampled this respect on the ground and crushed it with his feet.

As for Zhuo Dingsheng, the reason why such a sudden change happened today was probably because An Leiting was planning something. Zhuo Dingsheng didn't want to help, but he couldn't just watch and do nothing, so he had to put himself in this state.

Fan Honghui was silent for a moment. When he raised his eyelids again, his eyes were sharp. "It seems that we need to send someone to take good care of An Leiting."

"There's a saying that goes, to catch a thief and seize the stolen goods, everything must be based on evidence. Otherwise, I'm afraid we won't be able to convince everyone." Lu Qi Yan said.

It makes everyone convinced.

Fan Honghui's eyes flickered.

The army is about to take action, and food and fodder are being sent to the camp of the western border army in a steady stream.

The army of Jin Weiguo had already made some unusual movements, so Fan Honghui had to send a group of people out of the camp earlier than planned and make preparations in advance to prepare for the war.

Ever since he received the news that the army was setting out, An Leiting had heard the continuous footsteps and slogans of soldiers. And this dull sound, along with the sound of the horn, gradually left the military camp and faded away.

This kind of noise started at dawn and gradually stopped late at night.

An Leiting couldn't see outside, but judging from the noise outside, there were not many people left in the military camp at this time.

When the army sets out, Fan Honghui, as the commander of the wing, will follow the army closely even if he does not lead the troops in person, so as to be able to respond at any time.

If even Fan Honghui leaves here, then his chance will come...

Just as An Leiting was thinking, there was gradually new movement outside.

At this time, Yue Xinjie was leading some soldiers to distribute food - mung bean cakes - to the soldiers on duty and patrolling.

As the weather was getting hotter and a war was imminent, the canteens in the military camps had to start saving money and making long-term plans. Therefore, this cool, sweet and heat-relief mung bean cake was a very rare item.

"Come on, come on, you're welcome, give some."

Yue Xinjie greeted everyone and distributed mung bean cakes enthusiastically, and said, "It was not easy to get so many of these mung bean cakes. Everyone who sees them can have a share. Everyone should have a taste!"

The small square pieces of mung bean cake are of pure bean green color. They look fresh and taste soft, sweet and delicious.

Many people took a bite and kept praising the taste, but they also asked, "Where did you get so many green bean cakes?"

"Snacks aren't cheap, you gave us so many at once, are you rich?"

"Where can we make a fortune?" Yue Xinjie chuckled. "We are all soldiers who receive military pay every month. We all know how much money is in each of our pockets."

"I don't have the money to buy so many mung bean cakes, and I'm not that generous. To be honest, these mung bean cakes were bought by General Ji, who specifically asked us to share them with everyone as a reward for their hard work."

At the mention of the word "hard work", the soldiers on duty and patrol all nodded in unison.

On the one hand, they are in the military camp and do not have to go to the battlefield to face the dangers of swords and sabers. However, not only do they have no free time every day in the military camp, but they also do not have the opportunity to fight the enemy and win fame. Later, people will say that their mission is easy.

It was not only hard but also frustrating. "General Ji is really considerate of us." Everyone sighed and was very grateful.

But some people raised their eyebrows, "This little general is usually not very good at dealing with things, why is he suddenly thinking of rewarding us, maybe he has some plan."

"What could they possibly be plotting? We are soldiers and they are generals. What could they possibly be plotting against us?"

"You can't say that. In this military camp, you'll see people everywhere. It's not certain who can get what they want."

"..."

As everyone was discussing, Yue Xinjie interrupted with a smile, "Actually, let's put it this way. An Leiting was convicted, and although General Ji was not involved, he was An Leiting's adopted son, and the army was talking about him. General Ji was also a little afraid of being implicated, so he wanted to express his stance."

"I see. This is to win people's hearts."

"Well, you should be grateful for what you have received, and you should be grateful for what you have received. Now that you have eaten General Ji's cake, you can't say bad things about him anymore."

"Don't say that. Although General Ji's words are sometimes a bit harsh, there is nothing wrong with him. It seems that there is nothing bad to say."

"Okay, okay, we've eaten the mung bean cakes, so let's just remember this friendship..."

Seeing that everyone was continuing to talk, Yue Xinjie stopped interrupting and just shared the cakes in his hand. Then he took the cakes and went to share with other soldiers.

The reason for inviting everyone to eat mung bean cakes was still the same. General Ji invited everyone to eat in order to have a better relationship with the people in the army.

Some people think that An Yunji finally understands the ways of the world, while others think that he is too worldly-wise and a bit disgusting.

But no matter what he said, he did not refuse the mung bean cake that was brought to his mouth, and just put it into his mouth piece by piece.

Seeing everyone eating with relish, the smile on Yue Xinjie's face became even more intense.

Late at night, the moon sets in the west.

This is the time when people feel the most sleepy. The soldiers on patrol today feel particularly sleepy. Not only do they yawn constantly and almost have to prop up their eyelids with their hands, but even their steps feel a little shaky and they walk unsteadily.

"Did I see a ghost today? My legs feel like they are filled with lead and I can't even lift them up. This is so fucking weird!"

"It's late at night, don't talk about ghosts or gods, it will scare people!"

"I guess that you have been busy preparing food and fodder for a long time and have not slept well. The army set out during the day and we were also busy. I guess you are tired. You will be fine after a good sleep tomorrow."

"That should be it..."

The group was talking, but they were not in high spirits at all and continued patrolling in a daze.

The moon went down a little, and the light of the torches and lanterns burning in the military camp also dimmed a little.

But in a flash, a large cluster of light suddenly appeared in the corner. This cluster of light seemed to be guided and spread rapidly to both sides along a line.

In an instant, a raging fire began to burn in the military camp. The flames shot up into the sky, illuminating the camp as if it were daytime!

"Go away!"

"Quickly put out the fire!"

"Bring a bucket..." (End of this chapter)
