"General Feng, you're too kind!"

Seeing Feng Jing dismount first, Zhao Cheng quickly dismounted and helped Zhao Huan down, while Zhao Huan greeted Feng Jing in a tacit manner.

Zhao Huan grabbed Feng Jing's hand and said with a big smile, "I am extremely grateful that you came to our rescue in time!"

Feng Jing said, "Wen Hu has committed many evils. I only regret that the journey is too long and I have arrived too late."

As he spoke, Feng Jing glanced at the horrific scene on the battlefield and said sadly, "If my brothers and I had arrived sooner, so many people wouldn't have had to sacrifice themselves."

Zhao Cheng interjected, "My father told me long ago that General Feng is an old friend and would definitely come to help."

Feng Jing clasped his hands in greeting to Zhao Cheng and said, "Your Highness, it's been a long time."

Huang Shi and Chi Jianzhang, who were on either side, also clasped their hands in greeting to Zhao Cheng.

Zhao Cheng nodded, then turned and instructed, "Mr. Yan, quickly take stock of the battle losses."

"Yes!" Yan Zheng immediately withdrew.

"Xu An!"

"exist."

"Rest on the spot, cook a meal. General Feng and his men are tired, let the soldiers eat their fill first," Zhao Cheng continued to instruct.

"yes!"

Feng Jing looked at Zhao Huan, then at Zhao Cheng, and asked, "Is the Prince Consort's arrangement intended to continue the attack on Changsui?"

Zhao Cheng smiled and said, "General Feng has already joined the war. If we don't continue fighting, wouldn't you be without a legitimate reason to fight?"

"Excellent! I admire the Prince Consort's determination!"

Zhao Cheng and Feng Jing exchanged a smile.

They're all smart people; they see through things but don't say anything.

If Zhao's army had stopped fighting after the Suidong Campaign, Feng Jing's troops would have been in an awkward situation.

Did you help out of personal feelings?

Besides lacking a legitimate reason for his actions, Feng Jing would also face retaliation from Wen Hu.

However, if Zhao Cheng is determined to continue fighting until Wen Hu has nowhere to go, then he can be free from any worries about the future.

Feng Jing glanced at Zhao Huan and saw that Zhao Huan was smiling and did not refute Zhao Cheng, so he immediately felt relieved.

"Although the champion king is no longer here, the Zhennan Border Army has always taken it as its duty to guard Dajing!"

Feng Jing's expression was serious as he said sternly, "Nowadays, treacherous officials are in power and indiscriminately killing loyal ministers. I, Feng, have led the Zhennan Border Army here to respond to Commander Long's call to eliminate treacherous officials and cleanse the court of corrupt officials!"

"Commander Long! Young Marshal! This humble general and the Zhennan Border Army are ready to obey your orders!"

Feng Jing knelt down on one knee and changed his words to express his true feelings.

Seeing this, Huang Shi and Chi Jianzhang, along with their generals, also knelt down on one knee.

Zhao Cheng thought to himself that Feng Jing was indeed a smart man. He knew when to let go. Their goal was Changsui City, and if they couldn't be focused on one thing, it would be very difficult to achieve their objective.

Zhao Huan declared loudly, "With everyone's help, the great undertaking can be accomplished!"

At this moment, several people walked up behind Feng Jing.

"Young Marshal!" The one in the lead was none other than Tuo Tiewuhua.

Zhao Cheng's eyes lit up, and he went over and tightly grabbed the arm of the man who had taken off his black hat, clearly showing more affection than he had for Feng Jing.

"Unofficial, I'm so glad to know you're still alive!"

He removed his black floral robe and turned to the side, saying, "The lady wants to see you."

Tu Haiping led the two children to Zhao Cheng, nodded to Zhao Cheng with tears in her eyes, and then knelt down in front of Zhao Huan.

"This humble girl, Tu Haiping, greets Commander Long!"

As she spoke, Tu Haiping pulled the children's hands, and the two children kowtowed to Zhao Huan.

"Greetings, Commander Long!"

Zhao Huan helped Tu Haiping and the children up and said gently, "Ayun is my wife. You two children can just call me Grandpa."

Tu Haiping said, "Why aren't you shouting yet?"

"Wuyou greets Grandpa!"

"Wu Shang kowtows to Grandpa!"

Seeing the different reactions of the two children, Zhao Cheng glanced at Yuan Wushang, who was slightly older.

Zhao Huan looked at the two children with a kind expression and said, "Fortunately, the Prince still has these two grandsons. It's a blessing."

Tu Haiping said, "This is all thanks to General Feng, who took such good care of us."

Feng Jing quickly replied, "Madam, this is what I should do."

Zhao Huan asked, "It's not a long-term solution for you to bring your two children with you while you're with the military. Do you have any plans?"

Tu Haiping said with tears in her eyes, "My father-in-law and husband told me that if anything happened to them, you are a trustworthy person."

Zhao Huan waved his hand and shook his head, saying, "Yuan Zhang would never say that about me. In my entire life, I have never gained his trust."

Tu Haiping felt a little embarrassed. She turned around and glanced at Zhao Cheng, saying, "Actually... actually, my father-in-law and husband trust the young marshal."

I don't think so.

Zhao Huan laughed and said, "You trust A-Yun."

Tu Haiping remained silent for a while, and finally hummed in agreement.

Zhao Huan asked, "So you want to go find A-Yun?"

Tu Haiping knelt down again and said, "If it's possible, please grant my request, Commander Long!"

Zhao Huan said, "Ayun is the aunt of these two children. It is only right and proper for Ayun to take care of them. What's wrong with that?"

"Thank you, Commander Long!"

"Acheng, you make the arrangements."

Zhao Cheng nodded and called out, "Atao."

"Yes." Atao walked over.

Zhao Cheng said, "You personally escort them back, and then stay by A-Yun's side."

Atao said, "But the Princess asked me..."

Zhao Cheng interrupted her, saying, "This is a military order."

After considering it for a moment, Atao clasped her hands and said, "Your subordinate obeys!"

Tu Haiping quickly pulled the two children in front of Zhao Cheng and said, "Quickly thank your uncle."

"Thank you, Uncle!!"

Zhao Cheng walked up to Tu Haiping and said, "Go in peace. From now on, our family will be together through thick and thin."

After resolving Tu Haiping's matter, smoke began to rise from the battlefield.
