But let's talk about how Hong Sheng led the Vanguard Camp, traveling overnight just to get home earlier.
When he reached the Hami Camp, after settling the Vanguard Camp and coordinating everything with his colleagues who stayed behind, Hong Sheng didn't even have time to change his blood-stained clothes; he returned home looking disheveled and earthy.
Fortunately, the gatekeepers were all retired soldiers and knew what one looked like just off the battlefield; otherwise, they might have thought a savage was approaching!
As soon as Hong Sheng got off his horse and tossed the reins to the gatekeepers, he ran into the door, and the gatekeeper, who had just received the news that the wife was about to give birth and was listening intently, joked, "Could it be that the master somehow knew today was the day for his newborn?"
Little did they know, Hong Sheng was unaware that his wife was giving birth today — he didn't even know his wife was pregnant.
