Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

For the past ten days, Ning Qing has been carefully cared for by Shu Yun, who treats her like a patient.

They would jump in surprise at the sight of Ning Qing getting out of bed.

However, one thing that must be said is that although Shu Yun is young, she is very good at taking care of people.

As the sun sets, its afterglow bathes the earth.

The military camp under the setting sun was bustling with activity. Soldiers who had just finished their shifts and were starving rushed into the mess hall to serve dishes and rice.

Although it was crowded and noisy, it was orderly and there were no scenes of looting or fighting.

Inside a tent in the military camp, a man sat behind a desk, his face as handsome as jade and his bearing dashing.

His cold eyes, deep and unfathomable as the sea, swept over the two people standing in front of him.

He spoke slowly, "What brings you two here?"

The two people standing at the lower end exchanged a quick glance, subtly communicating with each other through their eyes.

Finally, one of them clasped his hands in a fist salute and spoke.

"General, you promised us before that if we two captured the spies in the army, you would grant us one request."

Upon hearing this, Meng Zhengxi slowly nodded.

"This general did indeed promise you that if you capture the spy in the army, I will grant you one request."

"Now that you two have rendered a service, tell me, what do you want?"

Upon hearing this, both of them showed joy and exchanged glances secretly once again.

Zhao Xianghai, "General, we want to..."

"think……".

Lu Shi stared at Zhao Xianghai, who was speechless.

She was anxious: This idiot, he's usually so eloquent, why is he stammering and stuttering at this moment?

Zhao Xianghai, who had been glared at by him, secretly felt bitter.

There are some things that are really hard to say when facing a great figure like the general.

However, he quickly adjusted his mindset and closed his eyes.

"General, we would like to invite you for a drink."

Meng Zhengxi's expression remained unchanged, but he slowly asked a question as if deep in thought.

"Oh...why do you want to invite this general for drinks?"

Zhao Xianghai clasped his hands in a fist salute again and spoke.

"Reporting to the General, it is because today is your 20th birthday."

Meng Zhengxi's gaze paused for a second as she recalled the date. Oh right! Today was her 20th birthday.

At the age of 20, he should have undergone a coming-of-age ceremony, but he was in the military camp and no one was there to handle these matters.

The seemingly refined and easy-going strategist, sitting to the side, smiled and spoke up upon hearing this.

"General, since Generals Zhao and Lu are so kind, you should not refuse."

"A man's 20th birthday is the most important day, a time for coming-of-age ceremonies. But since you are currently in the military camp and there is no one to organize it, why don't you go out with Generals Zhao and Lu for a drink to celebrate?"

After pondering for a moment, Meng Zhengxi nodded in agreement.

Seeing that the general had agreed, Zhao and Lu were about to invite the strategist.

"Strategist, why don't you come with us and have a good drink tonight?"

The strategist gave them a meaningful look.

"Are you sure you want me to come along? I'm not just a strategist, I'm also a military supervisor."

Zhao and Lu immediately scratched their heads awkwardly.

The soldier stood up and said, "General, I still have matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now."

Meng Zhengxi glanced at him.

"Yes, strategist, you have something to attend to."

The three changed into civilian clothes, mounted their respective horses, and galloped out of the military camp.
