Looking at the bonfires in the military camp, and the Han soldiers and Qiang herdsmen gathered around them.

The Han soldiers and the commoners they considered lowly embraced each other and drank heartily.

There were also two Han soldiers and two Qiang women holding hands and dancing around the bonfire.

Whether they were Han soldiers or Qiang people, everyone had a happy smile on their face.

The whole scene presented a harmonious picture of the military and civilians working together as one family!

Their limited minds could never have imagined that they would witness such a scene in their lifetime.

The sight before them filled the three men with mixed feelings. In the past, the Qiang people had treated them like a raging flood or a ferocious beast, and they had avoided them at all costs. Yet, as their own people, they were not even as good as the Han army. This scene made them feel very uncomfortable.

"What are you daydreaming about? Let's go!"

Seeing the three men standing there dumbfounded, the Han army sergeant's eyes widened.

"oh oh!"

The three of them then came to their senses and, urged by the Han army squad leader, continued walking towards the central command tent where Zhang Qiao was located.

"You all wait outside!"

After giving his orders, the Han army sergeant told the three men to wait outside the tent, and then walked into the tent.

"General, our men have spotted three Qiang soldiers outside the camp. They claim to have been sent by Ma Yi and say they have important matters to discuss with you!"

"Oh? Someone from the Ma Yi Sect?"

Upon hearing his subordinate's report, Zhang Qiao couldn't help but chuckle, "Heh~ Interesting!"

The sergeant hesitated for a moment before saying, "General, I think the leader among them is quite extraordinary!"

"how?

"General, this man was quick-witted. Not only did he discover our hiding place, but he also managed to compose a poem to warn us. Moreover, although they were somewhat flustered after we appeared, he immediately explained his purpose and even put away his weapons to show us weakness!"

The platoon leader then continued, "All these actions are enough to show that this person is quick-witted. I believe that he will become a formidable enemy of our army sooner or later, so it would be best to take this opportunity to eliminate him!"

"Oh? Ma Yi would actually be willing to send someone like this?"

Upon hearing the squad leader's report, Zhang Qiao chuckled softly, then looked at the squad leader and said, "I'd like to see this man. Go and bring him in!"

"promise!"

The squad leader accepted the order and then turned to walk out of the tent.

"Come inside with me!"

The squad leader came outside the tent and pointed to Ma Yi's personal guard.

"Just me?" Ma Yi's personal guard paused for a moment, then asked.

"Hmph~ It's already a miracle that my general even gets to see you."

The squad leader snorted coldly, looked at Ma Yi's personal guards, and said in a cold voice, "If you don't want to go in, I don't mind finding you another place!"

"Okay!"

Ma Yi's personal guard quickly nodded, then looked at his two subordinates, "You two wait for me here!"

After saying that, he followed the squad leader into the tent.
