Although he was not asking because of the beauty, he was unusually curious.

It’s hard to tell who is stronger between this sickly beauty and Li Liuli.

Li Xiuzhu didn't say anything. He drank a glass of wine and no one knew what he was thinking.

Ruan Mingzheng drank another cup, looked at Li Xiuzhu in silence for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Do you want to stop the red tears?"

Li Xiuzhu was stunned when he heard this. He just hesitated for a moment.

After traveling through time, naturally he wanted all the good women, but he had never seen Xi Honglei and had never understood her.

The only thing I heard was the little bit that came from Ruan Mingzheng's mouth.

As for Xi Honglei, it was just his guess. After all, Qi Shaoshang and Lianyunzhai had both come out, so it was normal for Xi Honglei to appear.

"You want to help me?"

Ruan Mingzheng didn't say anything, but Li Xiuzhu suddenly understood.

Ruan Mingzheng likes Qi Shaoshang very much, so the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Li Xiuzhu smiled.

"I heard that Ruan Mingzheng, the Sai Zhuge, is very smart and resourceful, so I'd like to see him for myself."

Li Xiuzhu's words made Ruan Mingzheng laugh as well.

"Okay, but I need your cooperation, General."

This wave of events is very comfortable as everyone gets what they want. The only ones who feel sorry for themselves are Qi Shaoshang and Xi Honglei.

"Tell me, how can I cooperate?"

"I want the general to let Qi Shaoshang lead the army to attack Silla."

Although he felt that his asking price was reasonable, Ruan Mingzheng still explained: "There are three benefits to doing this. First, if Xi Honglei is tricked here, as long as she can stay at the border and be with the general day and night, I believe the general will be able to control Xi Honglei."

"The second is Qi Shaoshang's northern expedition to the Silla royal court. Even if he didn't attack the royal court, but only attacked the various tribes, it would still make the people of Silla panic and unable to move south."

"Third, Qi Shaoshang and I have developed feelings for each other and even won him over. Xi Honglei will definitely be heartbroken. This is a good time for the general to take advantage of him."

Li Xiuzhu secretly exclaimed that it was wonderful.

Sure enough, when a woman becomes cruel, men have no chance of survival.

Li Xiuzhu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, this little cooperation won't be a big problem."

"I plan to capture the city tonight, and then Qi Shaoshang will march north to attack."

"So you should prepare to arrange someone for Xi Honglei's matter."

Ruan Mingzheng nodded when he heard this, and just as he was about to stand up, he suddenly frowned slightly.

"The general asked me to accompany you just to calm down the red tears?"

As a woman, Ruan Mingzheng was a little jealous. Why did so many people like such a seemingly weak woman?

Fortunately, Li Xiuzhu didn't let her think too much.

Li Xiuzhu shook his head and said, "Of course not. Xi Honglei is not in my plan."

"I asked you to come here to help me find out about the border situation. It's impossible for a general like me to find out about this kind of thing."

"And since you're a woman, it's easier for you to lower other people's guard."

Li Xiuzhu played with the wine glass in his hand and continued, "Be careful, there should be a lot of spies at the border, and there may be many noble families here who have ulterior motives. The gate of Juyongguan was opened by these noble families."

Ruan Mingzheng's eyes became stern when he heard this, and he agreed.

"Leave it to me. I'll be back before evening."

Li Xiuzhu nodded when he heard this, put down a silver ingot, got up and left.

"Waiter, check out."

"It's time to write a letter home."

He forgot about this matter at first, because people in later generations use their cell phones for everything, and there is no such thing as writing letters home.

However, the next day after he saved Su Ru, Su Ru mentioned it inadvertently, and he remembered the letter from home.

By now, the first letter from home should have arrived in Shangjing City.

Li Xiuzhu guessed correctly. The letter from home arrived at about nightfall yesterday. Only then did the worried women at home breathe a sigh of relief.

However, the letter was only from the Fu family, and Su Chengcheng did not receive it because Li Xiuzhu and Su Ru had just had something difficult to say, and she really didn't know how to face Su Chengcheng.

Li Xiuzhu didn't expect that it was because he didn't send a letter to Su Chengcheng that Su Chengcheng went to the Fu family.

After waiting for seven days without receiving a letter, Su Chengcheng and Nong Yue could not wait any longer, so they discussed it and went to the Fu family.

It is impossible to find Fu Yuehua as it might seem like they are demonstrating against the eldest lady, but the two of them have a good relationship with Fu Yunshuang.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Yunshuang, hasn't your brother-in-law sent a letter yet?"

As soon as Fu Yunshuang saw the two of them, she knew why they came and immediately sighed in her heart.

"My brother-in-law sent me a letter. He just arrived last night. I was planning to have someone notify you today, but I didn't expect you to come."

"A letter? Where's the letter?"

Fu Yunshuang paused, but fortunately she had expected this, so she said, "There is only one letter, and it's with my sister, which basically says that the person is on the way, and don't worry about him."

Su Chengcheng didn't doubt it, but asked in confusion: "Haven't they reached the border yet? It's already been the tenth day. According to the time of the letter, it was sent at most four days ago. I remember they were a cavalry team."

Fu Yunshuang reminded him when he heard this: "Brother-in-law took a carriage, so it must have delayed him for a long time."

Su Chengcheng nodded suddenly after hearing this.

"I forgot that Brother Xiuzhu is not a military officer and can't ride a horse."

However, Nong Yue looked at Fu Yunshuang meaningfully and didn't believe that Li Xiuzhu only sent one letter.

At the same time, Li Xiuzhu also sealed the four newly written letters home and the letter to the emperor.

"Let's hurry up and send it 400 miles."

400 li expedited means traveling 400 li a day, which usually only takes one day, while 800 li requires one day and one night.

Judging from the distance from the border to the capital city, the letter would arrive on the fourth day after it was sent.

The whole journey is 1,200 miles and takes 3 days.

The reason why Li Xiuzhu wrote to Su Chengcheng this time was that he had figured it out. Some things happened and they are done, so just treat it as fate.

Although it is not against the rules now, it is equivalent to breaking up with his elder sister and falling in love with his younger sister, but who can blame him for having that person in his heart?

Being together with Su Chengcheng now is disrespectful to Su Chengcheng and her.

As for reporting the mission to His Majesty, His Majesty stipulated that he must reach the border within ten days. On the night of the ninth day, he arrived.

Time passed quickly and it was dusk. The four captains and Qi Shaoshang all returned.

After preparing the wine and food, Li Xiuzhu asked, “How is Silla’s foundation?”

Wang Guanfang and the others looked at each other, and Wang Guanfang spoke first: "The Silla camp is in the middle of the three passes. This location can be used for attack or defense, and the terrain is slightly higher, which is suitable for galloping horses and is difficult to attack."

Li Wuwei also said: "Today our four teams all played against each other, it was very difficult."

"The enemy is skilled in archery and horse riding, much stronger than us, and at least one person has two horses. It's okay for a short battle, but if it lasts more than half an hour, we will start to suffer."
