The Grand General also attached great importance to this matter, while the strategist seemed relatively calm compared to the Grand General and Li Chengping.

He didn't seem to be in a hurry to find out the identity of this second general.

However, Li Chengping really didn't notice this, which shows that he trusted his strategist too much.

While they were going to great lengths to find out the true identity of this second general, the strategist was actually very clear about the matter.

Seeing that Li Chengping and the General were making such a fuss over this matter, trying to find out exactly what had happened, one can see that...

He was genuinely upset and deeply worried about how Li Chengping would treat him if he found out about this.

How did the general view himself?
This matter was really troubling him; he didn't know whether to tell Li Chengping and the General about it.

So he had been keeping it a secret all along. It wasn't that he didn't trust the General and Li Chengping, but there really were some things involved.

So he found it difficult to bring up the matter, and it has been dragging on day by day until now.

This made the strategist feel particularly distressed, so he decided to go to the general's place for a drink and have a good talk about his feelings. Of course, he wouldn't reveal the matter to the general.

He just felt particularly depressed and needed someone to keep him company and help him relax.

After he made his decision, he went to see the general.

Seeing the strategist's somewhat dejected expression, the general smiled and said...

"You shouldn't be like this right now! We already have goals for everything."

"So there's no need for you to look so gloomy. Things are gradually moving in a positive direction."

The strategist listened to these words and gave a wry smile, saying, "You're right, everything is moving in a positive direction. I'm just feeling a little down."

"So I wanted to come and talk to you, and have a drink with you to help me get rid of this depressed feeling. I hope you won't refuse!"

The general naturally wouldn't refuse, because he was very clear about how much pressure everyone was under.

He fully understands the strategist's current state.

The general smiled and said, "Of course, I'd be more than willing."

After saying this, the two started drinking and chatting.

The saying "truth comes out when one is drunk" really applies here. As the two of them chatted and drank,

Neither of them knew they had drunk too much alcohol.

The strategist's inner repression slowly surfaced at this moment, and as a result, he inadvertently revealed the true identity of the second general.

Upon hearing this, the general immediately sobered up.

He hadn't expected that this person actually knew the Second General's true identity. So why had he been hiding it from him and Li Chengping all this time?

What exactly was the strategist's purpose, and why did he do this?

They've been working together exceptionally well lately, and he feels he can trust them.

But to his surprise, this strategist hadn't told him and Li Chengping about such an important matter, which made him extremely upset.

He originally wanted to question the strategist, but seeing his drunken state, what was the point of questioning him now? It would only make things worse. Fortunately, the general decided not to pursue the matter further.

Anyway, he now knows the true identity of this second general.

He looked at the strategist and said, "Alright, it's getting late and you've had too much to drink. You should go back and rest!"

The strategist, still feeling groggy, also realized he was quite tired, so he quickly went back to rest.

When the general learned of this, he was truly depressed.

He seemed unable to accept this, so he wanted to confide in Li Chengping. During the time they spent together, he truly felt that there was nothing between them that they couldn't trust.

But in the end, it still turned out like this, and he just couldn't accept this reality.

He was already quite drunk, and it seemed like he was losing control of himself.

And so he stumbled and staggered to Li Chengping's place. Li Chengping was genuinely angry when he saw the general in this state.

This is the most critical moment, and he must remain sober at all times. He never expected that this general would come looking for him in a drunken stupor.

This really annoyed Li Chengping.

Li Chengping looked at the drunken general and said, "What are you doing? Don't you know what time it is?"

"Why did you make yourself look like this? Or did something happen?"

Seeing that Li Chengping was somewhat angry, the general felt even more distressed. He had already felt particularly depressed after learning the Second General's true identity.

He really hadn't thought that the princess was the second general's sister.

But the truth was laid bare before him, and it was told by his strategist, with whom he spent every day.

How could he possibly accept this?
He looked at Li Chengping angrily and said, "No matter when, there is no need to wrong yourself."

"You may think that you can trust the people around you, but let me tell you the truth, that's not the case."

Upon hearing these words, Li Chengping realized that this matter was not simple and that something must have happened.

Otherwise, the general wouldn't have lost his composure like this.

Since he arrived here, he has been observing this general, and he is not that kind of person.

So Li Chengping realized that things might not be going well, and he also realized that his attitude just now was a bit too harsh.

He quickly looked at the aggrieved general and said, "It seems you've encountered something. Just tell me what's wrong."

"What exactly happened? Judging from your state, this matter must be more complicated than it seems."

The general smiled slightly and looked at Li Chengping, saying, "You're quite clever. What I'm about to tell you is indeed not simple."

"To be honest, I still feel a bit dazed, and I can't accept that this is the truth."

"If you knew about this, you might also have some doubts."

Looking at the general's current state, Li Chengping was truly eager to see what the general would say next. (End of Chapter)
