Waiting outside the tent, Tan Pengtai stood patiently while the guarding soldier went inside to inform Feng Xiyan.
Before long, the soldier returned and said, "General Tan, the Great General invites you in."
Getting the permission, Tan Pengtai entered the tent. Seeing him approach with a serious expression, Feng Xiyan glanced at the wooden pieces in his hand.
Tan Pengtai clasped his fists and said, "Great General, this subordinate has something to report."
He then placed the wooden pieces and the confessions of the three spies on the long table.
As Feng Xiyan read the confessions, Tan Pengtai explained, "Last night, General Xue apprehended three suspicious men lurking near the side gate and the city wall."
