“But we need a reason to retreat. In the dead of winter, the people of Xidan are not sending troops…” In fact, Duke Chen had already given up in his heart.
Chen Shiyu gritted his teeth and said, "All we need is an excuse; it doesn't necessarily have to be the people of Xidan sending troops."
"Big brother, do you have an idea?" Chen Xiaoyi asked, wiping his face.
"Wait for my news."
After saying this, Chen Shiyu got up and left the military camp.
Ji Fengming and Hei Xiao waited at the border for several days, but they did not hear any news of the men in black committing evil deeds anywhere.
The entire Chen family was so hungry they were delirious, and they didn't even have anyone to fight with.
The two of them were so bored that they spent their days hunting in the nearby mountains.
Just then, Ji Fengming and Hei Xiao went up the mountain and suddenly saw Chen Shiyu riding a horse alone, strolling out of the military camp in the distance.
Ji Fengming's eyes lit up immediately, and he tugged at Hei Xiao: "Hey, this is going to be fun today!"
Upon hearing the word "fun," Qingluan, who had been nestled inside Ji Fengming's clothes, trembled.
We've finally had a few peaceful days, and I hope Master doesn't think of it again now.
Black Owl frowned as he looked in the direction Chen Shiyu had gone: "In this cold weather, why is he heading into the deep mountains and forests instead of the inner city?"
"Let's follow them and see what happens!" Ji Fengming was excited, having finally found something that might be interesting.
The snow in the forest was quite deep and had not melted at all.
The two of them went to great lengths to avoid making any noise.
Chen Shiyu, who was down the mountain, was feeling dizzy from hunger and was already somewhat distracted. Coupled with the sound of his horse's hooves, he didn't pay much attention to the commotion up the mountain.
It's freezing cold.
Chen Shiyu drove his hungry, weak horse through the snow and ice for about an hour and a half, until he felt he was far enough away from the military camp.
He pulled out a strangely shaped black tube from his pocket, and slightly gathered his strength in his hand.
Chen Shiyu exerted tremendous effort to finally activate it.
A wisp of extremely faint black smoke escaped from the long black tube.
The black smoke dissipated in the wind.
But instead of dispersing, it expanded, forming a phantom image resembling a dragon.
The phantom soared into the sky, roaring through the dark clouds, its sound echoing for miles!
"Holy crap, what is that?!" Ji Fengming looked up at the roaring phantom in the sky, utterly shocked.
"This is……"
A familiar word was stuck on his lips, but Black Owl just couldn't remember it.
Chen Shiyu himself looked up and stared intently at the godlike phantom in the clouds, his gaze burning with pride and infatuation—he was the most beautiful accident in his life, and the most unexpected surprise.
A man like him could have the whole world if he wanted it!
A short while later.
Several masked men dressed in black approached Chen Shiyu.
The leader bowed to Chen Shiyu with his hands behind his back and said, "Young master, what brings you here?"
"As expected, it's you. You knew me all along?" Chen Shiyu sat on his horse, exuding the aura of a superior.
"Before you arrived, my lord sent someone with your portrait," the man replied respectfully and rigidly.
"I just received a secret letter from the capital today, and I must move my troops back to the capital as soon as possible. However, the news of the tense situation at the border was caused by you. The people of Xidan did not send troops to cause trouble. The one who tied the knot must untie it. I need your help in feigning an attack." Chen Shiyu stated his purpose frankly, with an arrogant attitude and no sense of embarrassment.
