The couple went to the Shi family to prepare the carriage and came out. The three of them had already dispersed. Song Ruier put some snacks in his clothes and came out. He went through the side door and hurriedly disappeared into the alley.
Chu Zhuo was driving the carriage when Shi Murou heard voices behind her and looked out the window.
“My husband, I see the sickle.”
Chu Zhuo stopped the carriage, and Qiao Lian'er got off the carriage when she saw them.
Shi Murou pulled Qiao Lian'er aside: "We were just about to see you."
"Sister Shi, is something the matter?"
Chu Zhuo said, "I just want to tell you to be careful of your brother Song Ruier. He was having tea and snacks with the Qiao siblings who settled in your Datian Village just now, and it seems like he's getting closer to them."
Qiao Lian'er's face turned cold; this little bastard was up to no good again.
"I will be careful, thank you."
It seems the two of them will have to make a special trip for this matter.
“This family’s appearance is a bit unusual, so it’s good to be on the safe side. Now that you know, we don’t need to go to Datian Village,” Shi Murou said.
Qiao Lian'er gratefully bid farewell to the two of them.
As she drove the carriage back, she wondered why Song Ruier had approached those two people. Could it be that he shared her suspicions?
She had already guessed about 60-70% of the purpose of this family's visit.
She has no leverage or evidence against the other party, so she can only remain still if the enemy doesn't move.
But she needs to make some preparations.
Before going to bed that night, she looked in the mirror and carefully checked her entire body.
The next day she went to the Guan Ning Iron Cavalry's garrison.
"General Guan, I think that since my merits have been reported, my physical characteristics should also be reported."
General Guan said, "This can't be that bad. You are you, the real Qiao Lian'er. Lord Zhang and I both know that."
Qiao Lian'er gently shook her head: "It's better to be safe. After all, we're far from the capital here. If we make thorough preparations, we can avoid trouble later."
"Alright, write it down. I'll keep a copy here and submit another one."
"Could General Guan deliver it to the generals who led the fight against the northern tribal alliance, and then pass it on to the Emperor?"
"Why?" General Guan was still thinking. He had someone hand it over to the county government, and then the county government would report it.
"Because those generals adopted my formation, this is one of the reasons why we were able to succeed in this battle. They didn't know much about me yet."
General Guan was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time: "How could such a thing happen? Girl, why didn't you tell me sooner?"
He underestimated this girl; she could handle not only small-scale battles but also large-scale, overwhelming ones.
"General Guan, I am a selfish person. I only took out those formations to test them out. I was afraid that our side would suffer a defeat and implicate my family, so I only told you now."
General Guan laughed loudly: "It was my oversight. This is how it should be done. The situation on the battlefield changes in an instant. No matter how good your formation is, the outcome is uncertain. If we had known in advance that it was you who came up with it, you would have to bear all the consequences, good or bad."
"Now that the Great Swamp Kingdom has achieved a great victory and signed a twenty-year ceasefire agreement, this is a done deal. It is most appropriate for you to speak out and show your face now."
The words "show up" served as a reminder to Qiao Lian'er once again.
