"This general is fine now. This general just needs some rest," Feng Xiyan replied to Xue Ruhong’s question with a slight smile.

Looking at his smile, Xue Ruhong exchanged glances with Tan Pengtai and Ding Zhenshun. Seeing the same relief in their eyes, Xue Ruhong secretly let out a sigh of relief.

’Looks like as long as Fairy Bai is here, nothing will happen to the Great General.’

With this in mind, Xue Ruhong looked at Feng Xiyan. "That’s good to hear."

Now that they had learned about Feng Xiyan’s health, Tan Pengtai said, "Great General, last week, the envoys from the three empires and ten kingdoms arrived."

"They were requesting an audience with you. But since you were not around, this subordinate took the initiative and settled them in the inns located in the outer ring area."

Feng Xiyan pondered for a second, then asked, "Have they informed you of their purpose in coming?"

Tan Pengtai nodded. "Yes. They said they were coming for a peaceful talk and ceasing war."

When Feng Xiyan heard this, he was not surprised.

Calculating the time, these envoys should have departed from their empires and kingdoms the moment they learned about the destruction of the Jin Empire.

After a brief moment of thought, Feng Xiyan said, "Very well. Since they want to meet this general, we will hold a banquet for them. Let them all gather in one place so they can compete with each other. We might be able to gain an unexpected advantage from this."

Looking at Tan Pengtai, he added, "General Tan, you will be responsible for the banquet preparations. You can arrange it as you see fit."

Hearing this, Tan Pengtai clasped his fists and responded, "Rest assured, Great General. This subordinate will make sure their jaws drop when they see the feast."

Feng Xiyan smiled at his words. "Good. This general will wait for your performance."

He then looked at Xue Ruhong and Ding Zhenshun, and added, "General Xue, General Ding, you two can hand over the security task to General Zhan and General Fan so you can focus on your main task."

"Also, please relay this general’s order to increase patrol and security to General Zhan and General Fan. With these envoys around, we must increase security just in case they are here to steal our secret technology or information."

Xue Ruhong and Ding Zhenshun clasped their fists and responded in unison, "Yes, Great General."

After giving the instructions, Feng Xiyan stood up and said, "This general wants to check the soldiers’ training. Generals, you may all go and attend to your duties."

Standing up, Xue Ruhong, Ding Zhenshun, and Tan Pengtai bowed to Feng Xiyan. "Yes, Great General."

With that, Feng Xiyan left the tent and went to the training field.

Leaving the tent, Xue Ruhong let out a sigh of relief as he watched Feng Xiyan walk away. "The Great General seems better now, but his aura is getting scarier than before."

Hearing this, Ding Zhenshun and Tan Pengtai nodded in agreement.

Seeing that it’s not early anymore, Xue Ruhong added, "I still need to find General Zhan and General Fan to hand over the security responsibility. See you two later."

Ding Zhenshun nodded, then said, "I also still have things to do. Let’s have lunch together later."

"Alright." Xue Ruhong and Tan Pengtai agreed, then the three of them went to do their own tasks.

While Feng Xiyan and the generals were busy in the barracks, Bai Hanyun was observing the bustling city from the carriage.

Looking at the street vendors selling various foods and goods along the roadside, she said, "Feng Wu, let’s find some time to walk around the city. It seems a lot of things have changed since the last time I visited Xiqiang City."

Controlling the war horses, Feng Wu replied, "Yes, Fairy Bai."

While Bai Hanyun was discussing which food stalls to try and where to visit later with Feng Wu, they finally arrived at the Great General’s Mansion.

Standing outside the main entrance, Huang Wenping and the servants had been waiting for Bai Hanyun for more than half an hour.

Just when they left the barracks, Feng Wu had sent a shadow guard to inform Huang Wenping about Bai Hanyun’s return so he could make preparations.

Coming out of the carriage, Bai Hanyun saw Huang Wenping and the servants. She smiled and said, "Uncle Huang, long time no see. I hope you have been well since the last time we met."

Huang Wenping smiled brightly, knelt on the ground, clasped his hands, and then bowed deeply to Bai Hanyun, followed by the servants.

"This servant greets Fairy Bai."

Bai Hanyun stepped forward, helped Huang Wenping up, then said, "Uncle Huang, no need for the formality. Please stand up."

Feeling flattered by Bai Hanyun personally helping him up, Huang Wenping’s lips almost reached his ears.

Still maintaining his half-bowing posture, Huang Wenping said, "Fairy Bai, this servant has prepared hot water and a meal. Do you want to eat first or have a bath first?"

"I want to take a bath first. It has been days since I last bathed," Bai Hanyun replied gratefully. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Receiving her answer, Huang Wenping responded, "Yes, Fairy Bai."

With that, Bai Hanyun walked into the mansion, followed by Feng Wu, Huang Wenping, and the servants.

Watching from outside, one of the young ladies curiously asked her friends, "Hey, who is that young lady? Why does the Great General’s Mansion’s steward and servants treat her so politely?"

Hearing this question, a young man standing nearby looked at her and asked, "Young Lady, you must not be a native of Xiqiang City, right?"

The young lady nodded and explained, "This Young Master, I indeed just arrived last month. You seem to be a native here. Do you know that young lady?"

Being asked by her, the young man smiled proudly. "Of course, I know her. She is Fairy Bai, the one who blesses this land and also the Great General’s fiancée."

The moment his words fell, the young lady and the other people nearby gasped in disbelief.
