The Blaze Army moved quickly. They finished checking every one citizen within a short period. All of them were human and had not been infiltrated by demons.

Zhan Fei looked distressed and left with a dark expression after receiving the report.

Yang Shun had his Blaze Army cooperate with the Wolf Smoke Regiment to arrange for the citizens’ accommodations. He also dispatched his own military doctors to treat the injuries of those citizens.

“General Ji, if you have nothing on now, why don’t you come back to my tent for a chat?” Yang Shun extended his invitation with a smile.

Ji Fengyan turned and looked at Liu Huo. “Can he come along?”

Yang Shun was slightly taken back. He gazed at the youth standing beside Ji Fengyan. Liu Huo was exquisitely handsome but had an extremely bland manner. If Ji Fengyan had not mentioned him, few people would have noticed his existence.

“Yes.”

Only then did Ji Fengyan nod her assent. Without caring what the onlooking crowd thought, she followed Yang Shun with Liu Huo in tow.

After entering the tent, Yang Shun had his Blaze Army soldiers stand guard outside. He then invited Ji Fengyan and Liu Huo to take a seat inside.

“How old is General Ji?” Yang Shun asked after sitting down.

“I am nearly 15 years old,” Ji Fengyan replied pleasantly.

Yang Shun shook his head with a smile. “It is unbelievable that General Ji had enlisted into the army at such a young age. Nevertheless, I have heard of the stories surrounding General Ji. Despite your young age, General Ji can already hold your own. This really has us oldies breaking out in nervous sweats.”

“General Yang is too kind. I heard that you have been unwell. What happened?” Ji Fengyan felt that although Yang Shun looked pale, there seemed to be nothing seriously wrong with him. He didn’t look like he was afflicted with anything so severe that he could not participate in their military meetings.

“Nothing too major.” Yang Shun laughed. “I just didn’t feel like talking to the Green Nightmare Army people.”

Ji Fengyan was shocked by Yang Shun’s frankness.

Ji Fengyan’s reaction amused Yang Shun. He patiently explained. “General Ji should have noticed that this three-army alliance is actually a one-man show by the Green Nightmare Army. Although Zhan Fei was sent by His Majesty, but he has always been close with Situ Ba. He will always side with Situ Ba.”

“It doesn’t matter what we think or what we suggest, Situ Ba will disregard our opinions. Rather than going over there to listen to his nonsense, I would rather hide here and relax.” Yang Shun chuckled. He had actually just revealed the reason behind him faking his illness.

This astounded Ji Fengyan. She was aware of the things Yang Shun pointed out, but this was the first time she was meeting him. To reveal all that to her then, it was...

Rather unexpected.

As if he detected Ji Fengyan’s astonishment, Yang Shun’s expression became more benign.

“I knew your father.”

Ji Fengyan’s eyes widened slightly.

“Your father was a well-respected General. I really admired him. I had also worked with him twice. He was modest and had a good relationship with his own men. The soldiers under him were all willing to die in battle for him.” As Yang Shun described Ji Fengyan’s father, Ji Yun, his tone was grateful while his eyes held a sliver of regret.

“It was such a pity... sigh.”

Ji Fengyan lowered her eyes. Both she and her former self did not have the chance to interact much with her father.
