At midnight, a middle-aged man hurried into the main tent surrounded by soldiers.

He was about forty years old, his complexion had been carved into a deep black by time and wind, and his skin was covered with scars.

Even among the tall and strong soldiers, General Bai's figure was still a bit more muscular.

He could stand in one place and stop children from crying at night just by using his face.

"No one is allowed to come in at night without my permission." General Bai ordered in a deep voice before entering the main tent.

"Yes!" The soldiers responded in unison, their voices filled with awe and loyalty to the general.

They closed the curtain respectfully and then moved in an orderly manner.

The Bai family soldiers were divided into groups of ten, wearing iron armor and holding spears, taking turns to stand guard outside General Bai's camp to prevent attacks from scoundrels. A circle of torches was set up outside the tent, and the firelight illuminated the surroundings clearly.

A quarter of an hour after General Bai returned, three people walked slowly over.

The soldier at the door stretched out his arms and instinctively pointed his spear at the newcomer before he could even see the other person's figure clearly.

"The general has ordered that no one will be seen tonight! ... Hmm? Your Highness Prince Ding?"

Halfway through his speech, the soldier suddenly paused.

——The three people who came out from the darkness were extremely eye-catching.

Even though it was dark at night, the Bai family's army's attention was drawn to them and they involuntarily put down their weapons.

There is no need to mention the leader, Prince Ding, who is famous for his handsomeness in the capital.

The two attendants behind him were also very pretty.

One of them had skin whiter than snow, lips bright red, and a look of tenderness that was not typical of a man. He had a feminine appearance, and in terms of pleasing appearance, he was as good as Prince Ding.

The other person had an upright figure, and every feature of his face was just right. The more he looked at him, the more pleasing he became. He walked with a carefree pace, showing the heroic spirit of a young man.

Why did Prince Ding come here in the dead of night? And he brought two beautiful young boys with him.

The soldiers exchanged glances, revealing a mocking look that only they themselves understood.

Prince Ding stepped forward and asked in a gentle voice, "General Bai, can you explain why you don't want to see outsiders?"

"General, you have been busy planning during the day, so you need to rest at night. If Your Highness wants to see you, please come back tomorrow at a later time."

Considering the cooperative relationship between General Bai and Prince Ding, the general guarding the gate did not directly drive Prince Ding away.

Prince Ding frowned and said, "The general sets out before sunrise every day. I have been waiting here for more than two days, but I have not even had the chance to see the general. Today I really have something to discuss, so I hope you can help me."

Facing Prince Ding, the Bai family army refused to give in.

The gatekeeper refused outright, saying, "The general has given orders, and I am following his orders. Your Majesty, please go back first."

"Even if it delays the military mission, it doesn't matter, right?"

"What are you talking about, Your Highness?" The gatekeeper laughed. "When it comes to marching and fighting, the Bai family army is the most experienced and does not need outsiders to guide them."

After he finished speaking, a storm broke out outside the tent. All the soldiers took up their weapons and tried to chase Prince Ding and his two companions away.

It seems that many people in the Bai family’s army are dissatisfied with Prince Ding.

Prince Ding did not deceive Wu Qing and the other two - the Bai family army was indeed loyal to General Bai. If Wu Qing killed General Bai, he might not be able to get out of here safely.

At this moment, the "young man" standing on the left side of Prince Ding pouted and snorted in dissatisfaction.

"He" said unhappily, "Your Highness, since General Bai doesn't appreciate it, let's go back. He's a warrior, how can he understand romance? It's a waste of your Highness's kindness."

The boy's voice was delicate yet a little hoarse, and it was hard to tell whether he was a male or female.

"Xiaoqing is so cold, I just want to go back and hide in your Highness' arms to keep warm~"

Xiaoqing's tone of voice went around in circles for every sentence she said, causing Prince Ding and Zhu Hanfei to get goosebumps all over their bodies.

The same is true for the Bai family army. They are all rough men. When have they ever encountered such a scene?

You powerful people are really good at playing around.

Zhu Hanfei echoed, "Yes, yes, Your Highness. Poor General Bai, he can't enjoy the pleasures of the world tonight. I was thinking that General Bai was so heroic and extraordinary, he should, should be..."

At this point, she really found it a bit difficult to speak.

"He should be able to fight hundreds of men at night without any sign of fatigue." The young man named Xiaoqing took over the conversation calmly and said this calmly.

Zhu Hanfei paused for a moment, "...Uh, yes. Xiaoqing is right."

Upon hearing this, the soldiers of the Bai family army exchanged a knowing look with each other, and then silently put down their weapons.

I see.

General Bai did not marry for many years, and many people thought he was a homosexual.

Prince Ding came over at this time, bringing with him two handsome young men, and he probably had the same idea.

It's not that no one has ever suspected that Prince Ding had ulterior motives - but these two young men were thin and had good looks. To say they were killers? They looked more like two women.

That’s even simpler. What is there for women to be afraid of?

"Xiaoqing, Xiaobai."

Prince Ding pretended to be displeased and reprimanded the two men, "This is in front of the general's tent, don't be rude."

"I was just praising the general for his good health, how was that rude?" Xiao Qing said aggrievedly, and then asked the Bai family soldiers for confirmation, "Heroes, tell me, is there anything I said wrong? Isn't General Bai the most powerful and majestic man in the world?"

"That's right, that's right." The Bai family soldiers nodded frequently, speaking in a mischievous tone.

Their eyes kept roving back and forth between Prince Ding and the other two. The earlier wariness had dissipated a lot, and was replaced by a malicious scrutiny.

"How about...letting them in?"

"Why are you going? Didn't you hear what the general said? I won't see anyone tonight!"

"Alas, the general works so hard every day. Look at these two young men, they are so handsome, as if they walked out of a painting. Even rough people like us can't help but feel pity for them..."

"Oh my god, you are also a homosexual."

The Bai family soldiers began to whisper to each other, constantly looking at Wu Qing and Zhu Hanfei.

"Your Highness, please wait a moment. I will go in and report." After a round of discussion, the leading soldier finally gave in.

Prince Ding nodded modestly, "Thank you."

The curtain of the main tent was opened, closed, and opened again after a moment.

The leader reported that General Bai had allowed Prince Ding and his two companions to enter.

He moved aside to let the three people in.

The charcoal fire in the camp was burning brightly. On the couch in the middle was a huge tiger-skin rug, on which lay the feared General Bai.

He did not sleep, but sat on the edge of the couch, still wearing a breastplate.

"I don't want to see anyone tonight. But the prince has come in person, and I have to refuse him." General Bai's tone was light, hiding a hint of annoyance that was not noticed by others.

Prince Ding disturbed his alone time, and no matter what the reason was, General Bai was a little uneasy.

Besides, Prince Ding had few private soldiers under his command, so if he wanted to rebel, he had to rely on his Bai Family Army. Now that the situation was uncertain, General Bai did not have to bow to him.

"It is my fault for disturbing the general in the middle of the night. I would like to apologize to the general first." Prince Ding apologized.

General Bai accepted his salute and then turned his gaze to the two people behind him.

Noticing the other person's gaze, Zhu Hanfei's body tensed up a little, but she still looked back without hesitation.

And Wu Qing——

She showed her eight teeth in a brilliant smile and didn't seem to be afraid of General Bai at all.

Two handsome young men stood in the tent. If he thought on his heels, it was impossible for them to join the army and go to the battlefield with him.

General Bai frowned, "Your Highness, there are many rumors out there, most of which are untrue. I am not interested in men, so please don't waste your time."

He had just heard some words in the tent and thought that Prince Ding was bringing two handsome young men to please him.

Prince Ding coughed and said, "Yes...but this is not the only reason for my coming here."

"Xiaoqing and Xiaobai are clamoring to go to the hunting ground outside Beijing. I really have no choice but to ask the general for help." Prince Ding said helplessly.
