Zhan Fei?

Ji Fengyan raised her brows, and the traces of a smile hung on her lips. She murmured something to Liu Huo before following Lu Shaoqing out of the tent.

The three generals had gathered outside the tent. Zhan Fei, Situ Ba, and even the “chronically ill” Yang Shun.

Ji Fengyan was the last to arrive and everyone focused their attention on her.

Zhan Fei didn’t express his usual disdain when he saw her, but actually smiled.

“General Ji, you have finally arrived.”

Ji Fengyan slowly walked over and glanced at the scheming Zhan Fei. “What has happened that Lord Zhan has to summon everyone here.”

Zhan Fei lifted his eyes and smiled. “General Ji’s memory is failing her. She must have forgotten the significance of today’s date.”

“Oh? Why is today so special?” Ji Fengyan was unmoved.

Zhan Fei said, “Fifteen days ago, General Ji had issued a military pledge promising that you will flush out the locations of the demons’ nests within half a month. The deadline is today. I wonder if General Ji could provide us a satisfactory answer, whether you have uncovered the demons’ nests.”

Zhan Fei’s words shocked everyone. The Ping City situation had absorbed everybody’s attention and they had just sent off the last batch of citizens today. Zhan Fei’s sudden mention of that matter reminded everyone of Ji Fengyan’s military pledge made half a month ago.

The Wolf Smoke Regiment looked rather distressed. They had been so busy with matters concerning Ping City and Ji Fengyan had sent no one out to investigate.

Yang Shun frowned slightly. He instantly understood Zhan Fei’s intentions. He couldn’t help looking worriedly at Ji Fengyan.

The military pledge was the most rigid pledge within the army. Even a general could not escape its stipulations.

Ji Fengyan had been in the camp the past few days and didn’t carry out any special investigations. Yang Shun knew that very well. Zhan Fei had also constantly been in the camp and his spies would have informed him of Ji Fengyan’s whereabouts during this period.

If it had been a usual day, Zhan Fei would have long sent a reminder.

But Zhan Fei had been strangely quiet this period.

So….

Zhan Fei had long been waiting for this day!

“How is it? What is General Ji’s answer? We are all waiting.” Zhan Fei looked smugly at Ji Fengyan. He was well aware of Ji Fengyan’s activities for the past two weeks. She had not even stepped out of the army camp.

“Lord Zhan has a good memory.” Ji Fengyan grinned, not the slightest bit of anxiety showing on her face.

“Naturally. The location of the demons’ nest will affect our future line of attack. Such an important matter bears remembering. I think, General Ji also recalls this matter? After all, this concerns the life and death of all three armies.” Zhan Fei looked slyly at Ji Fengyan. He clearly knew that apart from that trip to Ping City, Ji Fengyan had made no other movements. He was deliberately praising Ji Fengyan before everyone.

He wanted to see just how she could turn this situation around!

Ji Fengyan chuckled and glanced at Zhan Fei. “Thank you, Lord Zhan, for your concern. Of course, I didn’t forget.”

“Oh? Could General Ji please tell us the locations of the demons’ nest then.” Zhan Fei looked disdainfully at Ji Fengyan. He didn’t believe that she really uncovered the whereabouts of the demons’ lair.
