At this time, Sima Kong was secretly worried that his son had been caught up in the enemy's trap, so he immediately ordered the soldiers to set up camp near the stream. It would be easy for them to get water for the whole army, but they were also prepared to support their son at any time. However, the moment they set up camp, they heard the sound of horse hooves galloping towards them. Sima Kong immediately raised his eyes to look, and he saw that the banner on the back of the guard in the front row had the word "Sima", and he immediately knew that it was the people he had sent to take care of his son.

Si Kong was worried that he would be taken care of, so before the people who reported him back, he immediately stood up to greet them. When he saw the soldier on horseback dismount, he immediately rushed towards Sima Kong to report, "Great Sima, the General has fallen into the enemy's trap. He's now trapped in the valley by the enemy!"

When Sima Kong heard this report, he cried out loudly as if he had been stung by a bee needle, "Not good!" Quick, get some soldiers to come and support us! "

Many years ago, his foster son had fallen into the trap of gambling techniques and lost all his money. He had even bet all of the Golden Profound God Bow and arrows that his ancestors had given him and he was on the verge of losing everything. Fortunately, when he passed by Sima Kong, he was able to point out his opponent's tricks. This allowed the foster son to see through the deceit laid down by the other party and beat the group of swindlers to a pulp. He didn't want to accidentally hit one of them too hard and heavily injure him. He begged this immortal, who seemed to have come from heaven to help him, to save his life. When Sima Kong saw that the immortal did not have a bad personality, but was rather rash and rash, he agreed to follow Si Kong. From then on, he stayed by Si Kong's side and did not move an inch away from him. In these years, Sima Kong taught his son many ways to cultivate his body and nature, as well as the knowledge of a common school. His son was also deeply impressed by his vast knowledge. Even his clan's Nine Arrow Technique was only able to reach a breakthrough after receiving Sima Kong's guidance. It was only because of this that he was able to reach his current level of cultivation. Although the foster son called Sima Kong "mister", the relationship between the two of them could already be considered as a master-disciple relationship. Therefore, when Sima Kong heard that his foster son had encountered such a dangerous situation, he immediately became extremely worried and ordered his men to set off without a second thought.

It had been many years since Sima Kong's tribe had last seen him act in such a panic, so no one dared to hesitate. They immediately gathered their men and followed him towards Dragon Spring Mountain.

However, just as these soldiers were getting ready to leave in formation, they saw a person not far away who was covered in dirt and was walking unsteadily towards Sima Kong's camp.

The soldiers took a closer look at him. Wasn't that the officer they were supposed to be supporting, General Zi? However, the sentry had come to report that he was surrounded, so why did he appear in front of them now?

Although the servant had been caught in the ambush and fallen into the trap, he was only messing up his clothes and did not sustain any injuries. However, he originally wanted to capture Fan Xian alive, and did not want to return in such a sorry state. After seeing all the soldiers and officers, how could he still have any face?

Seeing him not say a word, Sima Kong knew that he was thinking about something that was hard to say. He waved his hand and sent everyone away, and only one person followed him into the tent.

"Proprietor, what are you ??" After Sima Kong entered the camp, he wanted to ask the servant about the truth, but he suddenly hesitated.

When the servant heard Sima Kong's question, he stopped moving. After a while, he suddenly turned around and kowtowed, "Sir, I was too impulsive and did not want to fall into the enemy's trap. Please punish me!"

Sima Kong saw that he was speaking in such a vexed manner, so he didn't blame him. He only helped him up and tried to persuade him, "Victory and defeat are commonplace, why would one care about a momentary victory or defeat? As long as you are able to return safely, I am satisfied. "

The foster son saw that Sima Kong wasn't going to punish him for sending out troops without permission, and instead felt a sense of love. He felt grateful and said, "Mister's feelings for me have been reborn, and I will no longer dare to disobey Teacher's teachings."

"Hehe, you still have the immaturity from when you were a child." When Sima Kong saw the expression on his son's face, he also revealed a kind smile. After he had finished laughing, he suddenly thought of something. He then asked Qing Yin, "Just now, the scout horses reported that you were trapped in enemy territory. How did you manage to return safely?"

Upon hearing Sima Kong mention this matter, the keeper was suddenly filled with righteous indignation. He shouted towards Sima Kong with resentment, "Hmph! "That traitor of the Mo family is so sinister. If he can't beat me, he set up a trap to trick me into falling into the pit, making it hard for me to use my moves." The foster son felt that his words were too embarrassing, so he quickly added, "If he dares to fight me one on one, I will definitely catch him alive ?"

Sima Kong didn't care about the details of how his foster son fell into the trap. What he cared about was how his foster son escaped danger, so he asked, "What happened next?"

"Afterwards, he only asked me to come back three days later for another battle, so he left by himself. Afterwards, I jumped out of the hole, and originally, I wanted to look for the day when I would have fought against the rat, but I couldn't find him, so I had no choice but to come with empty hands." The servant only told this final result to Sima Kong, not mentioning his sorry state of being trapped in a pit at all.

"Oh? That day, you only said a few words about the duel, and nothing else? " It was obvious that Sima Kong was suspicious of Tian Gan's act of easily letting go of his foster son, so he wanted to find some more clues to deduce the other's intentions.

"Hmph. He used such a despicable method to harm me. What else can he do?" However, he could only say that this was something he felt ashamed of in his heart. He was completely unprepared for it.

Sima Kong knew that it would be hard to find anything of value for his son to raise, so he said to his son, "That's good. Take care of your son, you're already tired from this battle. Go back to your own camp and rest. I've already ordered someone to prepare a bed for you."

The servant wanted to say that he hadn't used up all his energy, but he could fight again, but when he remembered that he had been defeated and had no face, he could only whisper to Sima Kong, "Yes, sir," and obediently went back to his own tent.

Originally, Sima Kong wanted all of the subordinates in the headquarters to keep their mouths shut, but by this time, the news of Huan Feng being captured had already spread like wildfire. At this moment, many of the idle soldiers were gathered together to rest, discussing this matter at the same time.

"I heard that the forward side of the Great Sima had already clashed with the remnants of the Fan Yicheng team. That godly archer of his accidentally fell into the enemy's trap and was captured." One of them started to speak.

"That godly archer's archery skills are amazing. How could he be so easily captured alive?"

"Ai, you don't know, the one who planned to capture him alive was the famous head disciple of the Mo family, what is his name?" Ai, you don't know, the man who planned to capture him alive is the famous head disciple of the Mo family, what is his name.

"That's right, he was proud and aloof to begin with, even daring to offend our Grand Marshal and General Pan. It's not strange that he got caught in the middle of his recklessness."

"Yeah, I think so too." After everyone heard this person's words, they all nodded in agreement.

"But that is a blessing in disguise, it is said that he has some connections with Tian Gan. Although he was captured this time, in the end, he was able to release him unharmed." The man continued.

"Are you for real?" When those soldiers heard that the enemy troops were willing to release their commander back to Sima Kong so easily, they all became suspicious.

"How can this be fake?" Seeing the bewildered look on everyone's faces, the man pretended to lower his voice and waved his hand, gathering everyone together. He bent his head and whispered, "My cousin was a servant in the Great Sima Army, he was a personal follower. He also told me not to spread the news, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to afford the crime. "Brothers, just listen. Don't speak carelessly."

"Oh, so that's how it is," a soldier suddenly realized when he heard that, "No wonder General Pan obstructed him so many times when he wanted to take that day's life. I believe that the two of them have a very close relationship." When everyone heard his analysis, they all seemed to understand.

"Shh ?" The soldier who had sent the message raised his index finger and whispered to everyone, "It's fine for this brother to guess, but don't let General Pan hear it. Otherwise, he'll be unable to explain himself properly to the Great Sima Empire."

"Right, right, now that there is a war between the two armies, the little pawns like us cannot interfere. We should just listen to the orders from above." When those people heard what the soldier had said, they all assumed that he was just here to have some fun. After they finished speaking, they all dispersed one by one.

However, what they did not know was that when the soldiers were gathering to tell them the news, Pan Gang happened to be patrolling the military camp. Seeing that everyone was secretly gathered, they hid behind the tents and listened to everything that was said, and now they all knew the ins and outs of what had happened. How could Pan Party not be suspicious when they heard the news? He gritted his teeth and retreated from the back of the tent in a hushed voice, heading in the direction of Huan Feng's marshal's camp.

"Marshal, this matter would rather believe it to be true than not." The Pan party saw that Huan Huan had listened to his report, seemed to be dubious, so they urged him to do so.

"This is no small matter. If the Great Sima Army defends against the general, the entire front line is in danger of being destroyed. In that case, our army will be in danger." Even after listening to Pan, Huan Feng was still a bit hesitant, as he spoke in a low voice.

"On that day, I could have obtained the Heaven's Descent, but that son of mine obstructed me many times, causing all of my efforts to be wasted. Then, the Great Sima adopted me and left this matter at that. Now that he is surrounded by enemies and is able to escape unscathed, I am afraid there are some clues. " Seeing that Huan Huan still didn't believe him, Pan explained the whole story in detail, hoping to win Huan Huan's trust.

However, for the sake of safety, he still said with some worry, "Even so, this is only a rumor in the army, and no one is willing to testify to it. If it's not true and the person who has been raised is unjustly accused, I'm afraid that this Great Sima will not let this matter rest for long."

After listening to Huan Ling asking for proof, Pan Fang thought for a moment, and suddenly remembered that the soldier who sent the message had casually told him about it from Sima Kong's lips. An idea came to him, and he immediately said to Huan Feng, "This was witnessed personally by the Great Sima Empire. If Marshal doesn't believe it, I'll go and kidnap that soldier and ask him about it myself."

Pan's words dispelled Huan Feng's worry and allowed him to speak: "Then we shall do as you say."

After receiving the order, Pan Tong could not contain his joy. He hurriedly replied, "Okay." He was about to leave when Huan Huan warned him again, "You have to be careful in this matter. Don't make a big fuss."

"I understand." Pan knew what Huan Feng was thinking, so he nodded and went down to do some work.

Sima Kong had always been thinking about the matter of his son returning safely. According to his analysis, Fan Yicheng was currently tired. If he could design a plan to capture one of his subordinates, how could he let it go so easily? There had to be a trick to this, but when he had his suspicions and deductions, he had not been able to get a clear answer.

Only when a guard suddenly reported that Marshal Huan wanted to ask General Zi, he could not help but be surprised for a moment before reacting.

Sima Kong was in a hurry to ask where the personal guard sent by Huan Huan was. The guard told him that General Zi had been taken to Huan Huan's tent. When Sima Kong heard this, he became even more anxious. He didn't even bother putting on his shoes and rushed out of the tent to chase after the servant. The few guards who had been left behind did not know what had happened. It was likely that Si Kong's safety was not guaranteed, so they all followed behind.

Sima Kong ran like mad, not caring for a moment of rest. However, he was a scholar after all, so he could only run with small steps behind his robes. Therefore, it would be difficult for him to catch up to him in a short period of time. On the other hand, because he was not wearing shoes, his feet were quickly ground into bloody blisters. The guard at the side tried to persuade them to give his shoes to Si Ma Kong, but Si Kong was unwilling to stop.

Just like this, after about half a cup of tea's worth of time, he finally saw the figure of the person who was raising the servant. Sima Kong then shouted towards the person who was raising the servant, "Hold on!"

When the servant heard Sima Kong shouting behind him, he immediately turned around. He saw that Sima Kong was already chasing after them, completely out of breath. He also staggered as he ran. The foster son suddenly felt that he shouldn't have left without saying goodbye. He suddenly felt a burst of sadness and hurried over to welcome her.

"Sir, why have you come?" The foster son went up to Si Ma Kong and kowtowed as he asked.

"My foster son, it's not a good thing for you to come here. I'm afraid you've been tricked by a traitor, remember ?"

"So it's the Great Sima. Marshal Huan hasn't invited you yet. You're not resting in the camp, and you're in such a hurry to come over. Are you feeling guilty?" Before Sima Kong could tell his foster son the truth, a person on horseback ridiculed him in a clear voice.
