The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Cheng Youning's eyebrows were tightly knitted, and he answered with a bitter face: "My mother has threatened me a long time ago that if I dare to set a fire again, she will break my legs and throw me into our family's ancestral hall to kneel as punishment! I set such a big fire today, which must be considered a big mistake. Little Grandpa, did I do something bad today? A very, very bad thing?"

Wan Lianxing said solemnly, "My grandson, how can we simply generalize the good and bad in this world? What you did today was instructed by your grandfather. You burned the enemy's food and grass. You should know that the reason why these enemies stored so much food and grass is to attack your grandfather and our Fengqi. Moreover, the enemy troops you saw are just the tip of the iceberg. The large army they have assembled is still behind. Once they successfully invade our Fengqi, the consequences will not be as simple as just conquering the city. By then, the people in our city will inevitably fall into dire straits, and there will be wailing and misery everywhere! Do you really want to see such a miserable scene happen?"

Hearing this, Cheng Youning shook his head vigorously and answered firmly: "No, grandson does not want to see that kind of situation. Now grandson understands that although grandson did a bad thing, it is a good thing for our begging."

Wan Lianxing nodded with satisfaction, a look of approval in his eyes, and said slowly: "My grandson is right. It is rare for you to have such awareness. You are a good child, and it is good that you have a compassionate heart, but in this world, good and evil, right and wrong cannot be regarded equally."

Cheng Youning reached out and touched the place where his heart was thoughtfully, and whispered softly: "In this case, it seems that right and wrong have two sides, and the same is true for gains and losses. In this way, the guilt in my grandson's heart will not be so strong."

Wan Lianxing patted Cheng Youning's head gently and comforted him, saying, "Grandson, don't feel guilty. I, your grandpa, told you to do all this."

At this time, Qiao Rong, who was always good at flattering others, came forward to comfort Cheng Youning: "Young Master, you are really amazing. The task assigned to you by the emperor is so difficult, but you succeeded so quickly. Not to mention that the enemy's granary is heavily guarded, even if we are in the enemy's camp, we can't even get close to it."

Cheng Youning thought seriously about what he had done today, and his eyebrows knitted together unconsciously: "It's not that difficult, it's just a little far away. Their granary is hidden about five miles behind their camp, and it took me a lot of effort to find it. But... in the end, what I did was still a bad thing."

Qiao Rong quickly comforted him, saying, "Young Master, don't blame yourself. You are doing a good deed for the beggars! This place is close to my home, and there are many people in our village now. If the enemy forces succeed in attacking the village, our entire village will be finished, and the elderly and children will die."

Cheng Youning's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and his twisted eyebrows relaxed, as if a big stone in his heart had finally fallen to the ground, and a little joy appeared on his face: "Really? If so, then what I did today is not such a bad thing?"

Qiao Rong nodded vigorously and responded decisively: "Of course not! Think about it, young master. If we allow these enemies to attack, they will definitely massacre the people and steal our things. At that time, we will have nowhere to hide. As the saying goes, if we don't kill the enemy, the enemy will kill us, so young master, burning their food and grass is actually weakening their military strength, which is a good thing!"

When Cheng Youning heard Qiao Rong's analysis, every point was reasonable and every word made sense. He couldn't help but smile and his mood seemed to improve significantly.

At this moment, Sha Guanghan, who had been standing aside and staring at Cheng Youning, suddenly burst into laughter. His eyes were fixed on Cheng Youning, just like an old father looking at his son, with a smile on his face. What he said was even more shocking: "My dear son-in-law, this time it is really thanks to you! You have really helped your father-in-law a lot!"

Hearing this, Cheng Youning was stunned, with a hint of surprise on his face. He said hesitantly: "General Sha, isn't it too early for you to call me your son-in-law now?"

However, Sha Guanghan waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Not too early, not too early at all! You will become my son-in-law sooner or later, and I will always be your father-in-law."

Facing Sha Guanghan's firm and enthusiastic attitude, Cheng Youning didn't know how to respond for a moment. He opened his mouth, wanting to make a few more arguments, but in the end he chose to remain silent and let Sha Guanghan call him that.

At this moment, Sha Guanghan turned to look at his youngest son Sha Yuejin beside him and said in a friendly tone, "Jin'er, send someone to check if the crabs steamed for your brother-in-law are cooked?"

When Cheng Youning heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he jumped out of Wan Lianxing's arms and asked anxiously, "Have the crabs started to be steamed?"

"Haha, of course it's already been steamed! Since you just stepped into this camp, I ordered them to steam it. It will be ready to eat in less than a cup of tea."

Sui Dan asked casually, "Is the ginger tea ready?"

Sha Guanghan said: "It has been cooked a long time ago. Not only that, I also ordered people to warm up several pots of wine and prepare a table of delicious dishes, firstly to welcome the emperor, and secondly to celebrate the success of my son-in-law!"

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the camp became lively and festive. Everyone was busy setting out tables of sumptuous food and wine. The tension of facing a powerful enemy was relaxed by half. Wan Lianxing's secret arrival also brought great encouragement to the soldiers. At this time, the whole camp was filled with laughter and joy.

The camp here began to celebrate with delicious food and wine, while the enemy's camp was in ruins and chaos.

A fire burned all their food and grass. The fire was so fierce that they worked together to put out the fire. Later, the fire was so big that they could not get close. They could only watch the huge granary being burned down mercilessly. The billowing smoke covered the sky and the sun. The area within a radius of five miles was shrouded in thick smoke, making it difficult to breathe. They had stored three months of food and grass here, but the fire burned it all away.
