Zhenbei Army, the central military tent.
Liu Li dismissed all the generals, leaving only the father and daughter. He wanted to make things clear with his beloved daughter first.
After sitting down, the Sixth Princess Liu Zhixi looked at her father Liu Li, not knowing what they had talked about before the battle, and waited for her father to explain to her.
"Xi'er, where is the secret letter your father gave you before he left?"
Liu Li spoke first.
Liu Zhixi carried the secret letter with her. She said "oh" and took it out from her arms.
Without waiting for her to hand it over, Liu Li immediately said, "Open it and take a look."
Although Liu Zhixi was a little confused, she still opened the package and started reading, and soon she frowned.
After reading it in its entirety, he looked displeased and said with a flushed face: "Father, how could you do this..."
Seeing his daughter's dissatisfaction, Liu Li hurriedly explained: "Xi'er, father didn't want to hide it from you, but he was afraid that you were too stubborn, so he resorted to this desperate measure."
As he spoke, Liu Li did not forget to curse Meng Zhihai in his heart because it was he who came up with the idea.
At the same time, he made up his mind that if things here succeeded, he would kill Meng Zhihai's entire family first to vent his anger.
As for what would happen to his only son who would be in Northern Qi by then, he could only leave it to fate.
Liu Zhixi was not only dissatisfied, but also sad. As a woman, should she be treated as a victim?
She is a proud person by nature and is very sensitive about this matter.
"Father, you know that your daughter wants to share your worries. Even if she dies on the battlefield, she will have no regrets."
Liu Zhixi had no other thoughts in her mind except how to inflict heavy damage on the imperial army.
Until just now, I was still thinking that my father might be trying to use a strategy of making the soldiers arrogant.
What's more, she was also deeply moved by Liu Li's passionate morale-boosting speech before he left.
Thinking of this, Liu Zhixi didn't want to dwell on it anymore. If she followed the original plan, what would be the consequences if she found out about this matter...
Instead, I thought of another level.
"Father, now that you have shown your daughter the letter, have you changed your mind?"
After saying that, Liu Zhixi looked at Liu Li expectantly, wanting to hear a positive answer.
How could Liu Li not know what his beloved daughter was thinking? He knew very well that his daughter had a proud personality and was ambitious. She often sighed and wished she was a boy.
However, he was not worried that his daughter would lose her composure after knowing the secret letter. At least she would not reveal anything in front of outsiders, so he agreed to keep it secret.
Besides, it was just a delaying tactic to confuse the daughter, and he had no intention of actually doing anything to her.
Hearing this, Liu Li did not respond immediately, but remained silent for a long time.
However, I just couldn't bear to speak for a moment, but I still have to tell the truth...
"Father, if you have anything to say, just speak to your daughter directly!"
Liu Li's brief silence made Liu Zhixi realize that it was not what she thought.
Liu Li sighed, and without further hesitation, he said in a loud voice: "Xi'er, don't blame father for being cruel. For the lives of our entire family and the soldiers of the three armies, father had to do this. I hope you don't resent father..."
"Then, according to my father's intention, we still have to use our daughter as a bargaining chip?"
Liu Zhixi already had a rough idea in her mind.
Liu Li nodded, "But now the plan has changed. I have reached an agreement with General Xing across the street. I will marry you to him, and then..."
Liu Li did not hide anything and explained the plan in detail.
Suddenly, Liu Zhixi fell silent...
The more this happened, the more uncertain Liu Li felt. He hurriedly said, "Xi'er, father has seen this man before, and you should have heard about his affairs, except..."
"He is truly a rare hero. I believe you will be pleased after seeing him."
"Of course, Xi'er, if you like it, your father will do everything he can to make you happy. If you mind, your father will definitely fulfill all your wishes..."
Hearing this, Liu Zhixi smiled bitterly. How could she not understand her father's intentions? But deep down, she could never accept it.
A loyal minister will not serve two masters, and a good woman will not have two husbands!
However, she just didn't want to say more, and she knew very well that since her father had said it, he must have made up his mind.
Although Liu Zhixi felt a little chilled by this move from her father, who had always loved her so much, she was extremely reluctant and even more unwilling to accept it. To her, it was simply a shame!
However, the filial piety in her heart still restrained and controlled her, and she suppressed her determination to disobey.
Liu Li seemed to understand his daughter's thoughts. Although it was heartbreaking to think about it, there was no other way.
He subconsciously remained silent, waiting patiently for his daughter's answer.
There was silence for a long moment.
Liu Zhixi let out a long sigh, then straightened her face, her expression full of courage and determination.
"Father, if you have made up your mind and believe that this is the only way to resolve the crisis..."
"Daughter, I will... follow your wishes."
"Xi'er...Father's good daughter!"
Liu Li's eyes were slightly red. After all, he was not a heartless person. After all, she was his own biological daughter.
Liu Zhixi looks very strong, but as a father, Liu Li can still think of his daughter's pain and unwillingness.
Liu Zhixi forced a smile on her face. Now that she had made the decision, she would not regret it.
"Father, please don't be sad for your daughter. As long as you, your mother, sisters, and aunts are safe."
"My daughter has no regrets. Moreover, if that person truly surrenders to me and can help you achieve your great cause, I am willing to serve him for the rest of my life. As for other things, they are really not important..."
Liu Zhixi has a strong and resolute character and is not fussy at all. If she is leaving, she will leave happily!
Liu Li knew that his daughter was comforting him, but he still felt somewhat relieved.
"Xi'er, if father succeeds by chance, he will definitely compensate you well."
"No matter what, father also hopes that you can be happy!"
As he spoke, Liu Li held Liu Zhixi in his arms with heartache, feeling some pity and reluctance from the bottom of his heart.
After all, this is not a normal way of marrying off a daughter. In the future, it is possible that the father and daughter will never see each other again.
Liu Li was mentally prepared for this.
In this situation, Liu Zhixi could no longer hold back her tears and choked in her father's arms.
She was smart, and she could think of some consequences in her mind, and she also made plans...
It took a while for the father and daughter to separate.
Liu Li calmed down and said, "Xi'er, do you want your father to send someone to prepare a sedan chair for you? At least you can be considered..."
"No!"
Before Liu Li could finish, Liu Zhixi refused outright, and then said decisively: "Father, don't prepare anything, I will go alone on horseback!"
