Hong Dingsheng shook his head and smiled lightly:

"You think too highly of yourself."

After that, he looked at Wang Quan's eyes through the mask and said calmly:

"It is true that I cannot see through your strength, but even if it is the soul-eating spear in Wang Xiao's hand, I have never been afraid of it in the past eleven years. Will I still be afraid of this broken knife in your hand?"

"Is it possible that your strength is more terrifying than Wang Xiao?"

Wang Quan smiled faintly:

"Then what do you want from me?"

Hearing this, Hong Dingsheng's expression turned pale and he sighed:

"I just asked you that the fate of a soldier is to die in battle. Although I am not afraid of you, if we really meet on the battlefield in the future, it is still unclear who will win and who will lose!"

"If then...I lose..."

"You want me to spare your life?" Wang Quan interrupted and asked.

Hong Dingsheng looked into Wang Quan's eyes and said in a deep voice:

"You are humiliating me!"

Wang Quan was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said:

"Then you want to...save your daughter's life?"

Hong Dingsheng paused, then sighed and nodded.

Wang Quan smiled:

"Marshal Hong, are you seriously joking with me?"

Hong Dingsheng paused: "What do you mean by that?"

Wang Quan sneered:

"What you say is usually just talk, but if that day comes, no matter who wins or loses, even if you win, I will have to find ways to kill a few more people to vent my hatred!"

"You still think that my commander-in-chief will win and spare the life of your daughter who... went into battle to kill our soldiers?"

"Where do you want me to be a commander? How can I be worthy of the soldiers who died in our army?"

Hong Dingsheng's expression darkened, and then he said calmly:

"If I win, your army will be doomed. If you win, you will massacre our soldiers and leave no one behind!"

"This is your and my duty as soldiers!"

"But my daughter is not a soldier, and she has never fought in battle. She has never been in the past, and she will never be in the future!"

"I think you should understand the principle of never bringing harm to your family, right?"

Wang Quan snorted coldly:

"If you weren't a soldier and your precious daughter wasn't staying at home, why would you take her with you?

"Is it possible that your city and fortress is actually a good place for sightseeing?"

Hearing this, Hong Dingsheng paused and then said calmly:

"I took her with me because I had no choice. Her mother has passed away since she was a child. I have been fighting at the frontier all year round. I have not protected her for many years. She is in the imperial city..."

Having said this, he stopped, as if he didn't want to mention these things again, and then slowly looked at Wang Quan and said calmly:

"In short, if you win, I will ask you nothing more than to spare my daughter's life. On the contrary, if I win, you can make any demands!"

"As long as I can do it, I will never break my promise!"

After the words fell, Wang Quan looked at Hong Dingsheng with some confusion, and then couldn't help but smile:

"You really are a father and love your son, so you have a far-reaching plan!"

What Wang Quan doesn't understand is that if a war is about to break out, he can just transfer his daughter away from the border. Why do he need to make a deal with him here? Does he really think that he can break into the Northern Barbarians?

But Hong Dingsheng nodded and said:

"You are right, if a father loves his son, he will have far-reaching plans!"

"For more than ten years, I have hardly fulfilled my duties as a father, so I made this deal with you for the sake of her future!"

"And my conditions are very clear, and I just ask you to save her life. On the contrary, you can also put forward any conditions at that time, whether it is to save someone else's life, or you want me to do something for you, as long as I can do it

Yes, I, Hong Dingsheng, swear to heaven that I will never break my promise!"

"This deal should be considered fair to you!"

One has put forward conditions in advance, while the conditions of the other have not been determined. This is not only fair, but also a huge benefit to the royal power.

Although Wang Quan hopes that this benefit will never be used in his life, he will not lose anything by agreeing to it.

Immediately, Wang Quan smiled faintly, nodded and said:

"Okay, I promise you!"

Hong Dingsheng smiled: "It's cool! That's settled!"

In this way, the two reached a verbal agreement, and it was precisely because of Wang Quan's actions today that he laid the groundwork for him to regain control of Beisei in the future.

............

It was getting late, and Wang Quan, who was slightly drunk, slowly walked out of the northern barbarian border town under the "escort" of Hong Dingsheng.

At this time, nearly ten thousand Dacheng soldiers had already gathered outside the border city.

Since Wang Quan entered the northern barbarian border city in the morning, no news has been transmitted, so Huang Baisong ordered the soldiers of the Pioneer Battalion to advance to the city gate.

If it weren't for the Northern Barbarian soldiers on top of the city reporting the incident, Wang Quan might have had to drink until dawn.

"Hahaha~~" When they reached the city gate, Wang Quan put his arm around Hong Dingsheng's shoulders, and the two of them laughed like good buddies:

"Commander Hong is truly worthy of his reputation, there are so many!"

"It's just that today you and I don't know who we are, so we can only fight again tomorrow!"

Hong Dingsheng smiled and then looked at the Dacheng soldiers gathered not far from the city gate:

"If you continue to drink like this, I'm afraid that we will really have to fight today!"

Wang Quan laughed loudly, waved his hand and said:

"No need to send Hong Shuai away, I'm leaving!"

After saying that, he waved his hand again and walked towards the Dacheng army ahead.

And Huang Baisong has been waiting in front of the army for a long time!

Hong Dingsheng looked at Wang Quan's back, and after he and Dacheng's army retreated, he slowly walked towards the city.

At this time, the military advisor on the side walked up and whispered:

"Commander, how are you? Have you seen what Ling Yun looks like?"

Hong Dingsheng shook his head with a serious face:

"This Marshal Ling is a bit unfathomable. The mask on his face has been specially treated and does not need to be taken off even when eating. Except for his eyes, I can barely see a trace of his face!"

Originally, he thought that Ling Yun was deliberately wearing a mask to confuse others and hide his true face, so that he could be surprised on the battlefield in the future.

But now it seems that even if he is in the Dacheng Army, he is most likely to be wearing a mask.

Maybe it's something on his face?

After all, whose mask would have a special mechanism on it, just enough to expose the mouth for drinking and eating, but then block the entire face after drinking?

Isn’t this simply taking off his pants and farting? But that’s what Wang Quan is wearing.

Hearing this, the military advisor on the side sighed softly:

"Commander, how do you feel about Ling Yun...Bi Zhi Wang Xiao?"

Hong Dingsheng pondered for a moment, then shook his head:

"I don't know, but one thing that is certain is that at least in terms of cultivation, he should not be as good as Wang Xiao."

"As for leading the troops...it's hard to say. After all, this is the first time we meet him today, and I can't see through him."

Thinking back to Wang Quan's decisive words at the beginning when the two of them reached a deal today, he felt that at least Wang Quan was not an indecisive person.

And such a person would not be far behind in leading an army.

Hearing this, the military advisor nodded, and then he seemed to have remembered something, and said slowly:

"Commander, something happened today, and I still have to tell you about it."

"What happened again?" Hong Dingsheng suddenly frowned.

The military advisor smiled:

"Nothing happened. It was just when you were drinking with Ling Yun that our soldiers guarding the pass along the river saw the auspicious sign."

"Auspicious?" Hong Dingsheng frowned: "What auspicious?"

The military advisor smiled and said:

"The carp leaps over the dragon's gate!"

"According to the soldiers who saw it, when they were ordered to retreat by you and rushed back from the military camp, they saw two huge carp, one black and one white, from a distance, suddenly crossing the Nancheng River section.

Our army has reached the pass along the river and entered our section of the Daman River!"

Then, he said with excitement again:

"Doesn't this just mean that we, the great barbarian, are the orthodox people in the world?"

Hong Dingsheng's face darkened, he glanced at the military advisor angrily, and then walked straight towards the military camp.
