Chapter 227: A Fire in Deep Autumn

Gan Ning glanced at Gan Lan. He now had a burning desire to set things ablaze. Ever since he'd thrown a torch that sparked a conflagration, which reduced the Handan Granary to ashes, Gan Ning had an epiphany about a tactic—nothing beats the simplicity of fire!

"Gan Lan, I have a task for you," said Gan Ning, tossing aside the beef leg he'd been gnawing on. "It's a tough mission, not just anyone can complete it."

"I'm not doing it." Gan Lan refused before Gan Ning could finish. He did not share Gan Ning's foolhardy spirit. Chen Xi had once presented a formidable task that only valorous generals or those with both wisdom and courage could undertake—without a second thought, Gan Ning declared it tailor-made for him!
