The two papers were the secret correspondence between the Pan Party and Huan Feng that Sima Kong had previously witnessed. In order to let his foster son understand the whole story, the man had brought them here on purpose to get to the bottom of the matter. The nurturer slightly unfolded the two books and read through them. Suddenly, he threw a random scroll to the side and laughed: "Haha, your excellency sure knows how to use tricks to trick me into coming here with such a story." It turned out that the servant did not know about the seal, and had only assumed that the person who had sent the message had intentionally forged the two seals. That was why he had acted in such a manner.

"Aiyaya, I told you that you didn't learn a thing about your master's true abilities, but you have learned how to be suspicious." The man was caught off guard by his son's reaction, and became a bit more anxious, so he threw in another item and said, "Even if you don't know the authenticity of this letter, you should at least know this."

At first, the keeper didn't care much about what the man had thrown in, but as soon as he caught a glimpse of it, he was taken aback and hurriedly picked it up to see what had happened. It turned out to be a rolled up piece of cloth. However, there was an emerald jade pendant attached to it. This jade pendant was something that Si Kong had brought with him. It was something that had been passed down to him by a random faction. This item was something that Si Kong had always viewed as a treasure and had never left his side. Now that it had suddenly appeared in his hands, how could he not be shocked?

The foster son looked at the jade and confirmed that it was his master's, Sima Kong's, item. Then, he carefully looked at the cloth, and saw that it was very narrow and long, with a few small words on it. At one corner of the letter was the seal of a common household that Sima Kong was used to. The son who was raising it naturally recognized it, which was why he became serious with the person who had just arrived.

"Master, where are you now?" The keeper only picked up the book and did not see the other person, so he asked the other person about it.

"The Qin soldier will be on duty every hour, and the shift will be every hour. Now that half an hour is up, if the general does not wish to die, then please follow your master's order to leave this place quickly." The man did not answer the servant's question, but only started to urge him on.

When the servant heard his words and saw that Sima Kong had a warrant in his hand, he had no choice but to obey his orders. So, he stood up and was about to leave the tent. But just as he stood up, he heard a clanging sound, the sound of handcuffs colliding with each other. However, just as he wanted to break the iron lock with all his might, a cold light suddenly shot in from outside like a shooting star. With a "dang" sound, the iron lock was immediately cut into two by that cold light. The servant could not see the true appearance of the cold light. He could only vaguely see that one end of the cold light was engraved with a few constellations. From this, he determined that it was a treasured sword that could slice through iron like mud.

"Let's go." Before the keeper could say anything, the long sword flew out with a swoosh, and the person started to urge him again.

The servant knew that the situation was urgent, so he didn't say anything more. He followed the figure outside the tent and disappeared into the night with a swift stride.

When the Qin soldiers on duty realized that the guards that were originally on duty had all fallen to the ground, they looked around and saw nothing but emptiness in the camp, not even a single shadow of a servant could be seen.

The servant performed his Qing Gong movement technique and followed the uninvited person for a while. Soon, they arrived near the dragon mouth. He had thought that his martial arts had reached the pinnacle, but he did not expect the black shadow to move as agilely and nimbly as a ghost. Although he was galloping at full speed, he did not make any noise and could not help but feel surprised in his heart, thinking that this black shadow was indeed not an ordinary person, but he could not figure out where that person had come from in such a short time.

Just as his foster son was deep in thought, a bright light flashed before his eyes. He then raised his head to look at the people in front of him. He saw a crowd of people holding torches, standing with spears and halberds, leaning against the horses. The leader was looking at them in the flickering light of the torches with an anxious expression. That person had a jujube red face and a long beard. He was his teacher, Sima Kong.

As soon as Sima Kong saw the figure of his adopted son, his originally worried expression suddenly relaxed. He hurriedly drove over to welcome him. He was ashamed and embarrassed when he saw his benefactor come in such a hurry. He rushed forward to kneel down and say a word of thanks, but Sima Kong snatched away the words and said, "My foster son, you're finally here!"

Sima Kong Su knew that his son was naturally stubborn and did not want to admit defeat. Therefore, he did not add the words' run away 'to his words. He only said the word' run away '. At this moment, the masked man in black beside the foster son deliberately teased, "Sir Sima, your good disciple is very difficult to invite. If I hadn't asked for the keepsake in advance, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to invite him today." He was clearly going to rescue the servant, yet he said 'please' as if he was deliberately trying to tease the master and disciple pair.

"The mischievous person's temperament is like this. Thank you for your trouble, Great Hero. Sima Kong thanks Great Hero for saving my life on behalf of the mischievous person." When Sima Kong heard that person's words, he immediately cupped his hands together and thanked the masked man.

"Hey, you don't need to thank me. The person you need to thank will be here very soon." That person quickly waved his hand and refused Si Ma Kong's thanks, but after that, he pointed with his right hand towards the obscurity in front of him.

As expected, just as he casually pointed out, there was a commotion in front of them, and in the silent night, many people appeared. One of them was bearded and the other was jade-like; Fan Yicheng and Tian Gan had hidden themselves in the Land of the Nine Prefectures.

Seeing that the incoming army was actually soldiers, the servant couldn't help but be on guard. He carelessly waved the Golden Profound God Bow on his back and urged his horse to stand in front of Sima Kong so that he could face any incoming enemy at any time.

However, when Fan Yicheng and Tian Gan saw their foster son's actions, they weren't surprised at all. Instead, they looked at each other and smiled, before Tian Gan jumped off his horse and prostrated himself towards Sima Kong, "Great Sima, we've worked hard this way. We've waited here for quite some time now."

Seeing Tian Gan's sudden courteous gesture, the foster son was very surprised, but he didn't have time to think about it too much. He walked up and said loudly, "Tian Gan, I originally agreed to meet you for three days' worth of battle. Why haven't the time arrived? Why have you come yourself?"

"A foster son shouldn't be rude. Hurry up and thank your benefactor!" As soon as the servant's voice fell, Sima Kong's sharp words came slashing through the air behind him, stunning him.

"Hehe, having a general take the risk this time is due to the efforts of the heavens. As long as the Great Sima and the general do not blame me, it would be extremely fortunate. How can we talk about gratitude?" When Tian Gan heard Sima Kong's words, he just laughed and waved his hand.

This Si Kong and Tian Gan kept talking back and forth, but he was completely confused about what was going on. He turned around and asked Si Kong with a face full of suspicion, "Sir, what is going on?"

When Sima Kong heard his question, he then explained slowly, "Back then, you fought General Tian Gan at the entrance of the valley and were ambushed by General Tian Gan. Afterwards, he made an agreement to fight with you three days later. His goal was to create this false image so that the two of them would think that their foster son had already become General Fan's subordinate. "

Tian Gan stood by the side and listened to Si Kong's analysis. He nodded slightly to show his affirmation.

"And General Tian Gan knew that I had to hide it in order to protect my foster son, so he ordered people to spread rumors among the Pan Army and let the news spread to the Pan Party. Pan was a narrow-minded person, and would naturally not let this news go. He would definitely report it to Huan Feng, and with the two of us as his personal followers, both Master and disciple fell into the trap that Huan Hu and the Pan Clan had set for themselves. And just when my foster son is about to be secretly executed, General Tian Gan also arranged for people to come and borrow my hand to save his life. Sima Kong continued what he had just said.

"I have truly wronged the Great Sima and the general who raised him." When Tian Gan heard Sima Kong's words, he bowed once again to apologize.

At this point, the foster son finally understood the whole sequence of events. His original plan was to make Huan Hu believe that he had betrayed the sect, and that he had been captured in a fake ambush. He pointed to the sky and loudly cursed, "Good, you thief! I thought you were a righteous man, but I didn't expect you to be so vicious!"

"Fine, I'll take care of you. Our plans are not as good as others', and falling into others' traps is one's own. Being able to take back a life is already a great fortune, so don't be too strong." When Sima Kong saw his foster son getting angry, he slowly tried to persuade him.

Please calm your anger, heroes, and blame me for this," said Fan, dismounting from his horse and stepping forward to plead his guilt. "In this day and age, the Qin Dynasty was the place where the scoundrels warned the enemy, and the tyrants were the place where the people fought without blinking an eye, and all the heroes in the world fought against each other. The two of them were the few heroes in this chaotic era, so why should they work for the Pan Party, Huan Feng, and the other despicable people? Why should they work for the tiger and work for the violent Qin? I did not intend to become enemies with the two heroes, so I let Brother Tian Gan set up this plan, let the two of you and Huan Huan rebel away. If you have committed any immoral acts, please forgive me.

No matter what, Fan Yicheng could still be said to be a well-known senior minister of the Qin Nation. Now, he was kowtowing and begging for forgiveness from Sima Kong, which moved him, who was originally wary of him. Compared to Huan Feng, who was always being ostracized, the difference was simply too great. Only now did he understand why this Qin Guo Hu was able to repeatedly achieve miraculous feats. It was because he was a loyal traitor that his righteousness was related to his justice.

Thinking up to this point, Sima Kong couldn't help but let out a long sigh before saying with sorrow, "If the Qin Nation loses such a loyal and courageous person like General Fan, it would be like cutting off an arm on its own."

"Mister Si Ma, you're too serious. The Kingdom of Qin cannot use someone as virtuous as you, and instead listen to the words of a scoundrel like Huan Feng. This is truly giving up on your own future."

"Alright, alright. You two adults have praised each other for a long time now. However, you've forgotten about this time." Just as Sima Kong and Fan Yuwen were conversing, the masked man in black beside him urged them from time to time.

When Fan Yuzhen and Tian Gan heard that person's words, they remembered his existence and immediately greeted him: "Brother Jing, you've worked hard."

When Sima Kong saw the two of them greeting that person, he also noticed that person. Although the man was masked, from his figure and voice, he was certain that this was the man who had infiltrated his camp that day. Since he did not know his name and origin, he pointed to him and asked Fan Yuzhen and Tian Gan: "This is ??"

Tian Gan saw the confusion on Sima Kong's face and quickly explained, "This is the son of the Mo family, Jing Ke. He is also the leader of the Yan Ji Sword Association."

After listening to Tian Gan's introduction, Jing Ke took the opportunity to remove the mask covering his face. With a face full of smiles, he bowed to Sima Kong and apologized, "Jing Ke had no choice but to do this due to the circumstances. If there's any offense, please forgive me, Mr. Sima."

He was completely different from the rascal who had been shaking his head and recklessly doing whatever he wanted that day. He knew this person was no ordinary person and spoke with a slightly appreciative tone, "Haha, it seems like you're the hero who spread rumors everywhere and sneaked into my tent to convince me to surrender, right?"

"You don't dare call yourself a hero, Jing Ke is just a junior in the martial arts world." Hearing Sima Kong's words, Jing Ke laughed repeatedly as he refused.

He had planned with Tian Gan that he would go to the camp of Sima Kong in the guise of a fake soldier spreading the news of his son's capture in a battle with Tian Gan, and that he would go to the camp of Sima Kong in the guise of a rake and pick up a keepsake to save his son's life. At first, he did not answer, but deliberately waited until Sima Kong sent someone to help his son before he spoke those words. As for his son, he did not know if it was a scheme, but the promise he made that day was an agreement to meet with Tian Wu, so he agreed. However, the two of them heard everything clearly, and when they saw their son was released unharmed, they thought that they had some sort of unspeakable agreement. Jing Ke then took the opportunity to spread the false image of the surrendering of his son, Tian Gan, to Pan's army, and used Pan's hand to finally make the matter come true and act out the plan of estrangement. When it came to acting as a soldier, he had gotten used to it many years ago, so he could play it with ease. Besides, ever since he had become the son of the Mo family, he could no longer act impolitely. However, since this matter had already been concluded, he should return to his original identity. Therefore, he would suddenly become courteous again.
