Xi Honglei's words made Qi Shaoshang silent for a moment.

The next moment, he thought of Ruan Mingzheng.

Maybe this is God's arrangement?

Qi Shaoshang sighed, and then said: "I hope you will be happy in the future."

Just like that? Xi Honglei smiled when she heard this.

"You too, anything else?"

After Xi Honglei finished speaking, Qi Shaoshang was silent for a moment before he said, "The Third Master Ruan Ming and I are together now."

"Actually, I came to you today because I wanted to end our relationship."

Hearing what Qi Shaoshang said, Ruan Mingzheng in the corner finally smiled.

And Xi Honglei also understood who sent the letter.

Seeing Qi Shaoshang accepting the thief as his wife, Xi Honglei suddenly smiled.

"Okay, that's what I thought. Is there anything else? If not, then I'll go back."

Qi Shaoshang was speechless when asked, but he couldn't find any reason to keep her.

After a long silence, Qi Shaoshang nodded.

"good!"

Upon hearing this, Xi Honglei turned around and left without any reluctance.

Qi Shaoshang opened his mouth to speak, but nothing came out. He just felt like he had lost something in his life.

When Xi Honglei came back, Li Xiuzhu was stunned.

It took less than half an hour from the time he left to the time he came back? "Have you made it clear?"

"Um!"

Li Xiuzhu smiled when he heard this.

"What else do you want? I'll just wait for you."

Upon hearing this, Xi Honglei showed a look of helplessness on her face. It would not be an exaggeration to say that her husband was extremely licentious.

If she didn't have so many sisters, God knows whether she would have died during this period.

Oh my God, what am I thinking? It’s all because of this bad husband who led me astray.

Xi Honglei, with a rosy face, still obediently undressed.

Three days later, the eunuch who announced the imperial edict and General Su Qi arrived at Yanmen Pass at the same time.

When Li Xiuzhu received the message and went out, the two had already arrived in front of the county magistrate's mansion.

Seeing Li Xiuzhu, the eunuch who announced the decree immediately asked humbly, "But is it the Prince Consort?"

Li Xiuzhu nodded when he heard this and asked, "But I was summoned back to Beijing?"

The eunuch nodded quickly.

"The General of the Cavalry has received the order."

Li Xiuzhu bowed.

"I, General Li Xiuzhu, accept the order."

The eunuch who announced the decree then opened the imperial edict and read out:

"The will of Heaven is clear, and the decree says to act righteously. Now that the Northern Expedition has been decided, the General of the Cavalry has lived up to the Emperor's grace and has won many battles. As the border is approaching this year, I have specially ordered him to lead the 16 guards back to the capital to present the captives and confer titles. All affairs at Juyong Pass will be handed over to the General of the Chariots and Cavalry Su Qi to take over. I decree this."

Although Li Xiuzhu had expected this, he was still very happy.

The prosperity of the border is simply incomparable to that of the capital. If I could go back and live a comfortable life, no one would want to suffer the cold at the border.

"I accept your order and thank you."

After receiving the imperial edict, Li Xiuzhu looked at Su Qi standing beside him and asked, "The old general is General Su, right? Junior Li Xiuzhu, nice to meet General Su."

Su Qi had been sizing up Li Xiuzhu before, and he smiled and said, "We are at the frontier, no need to be polite."

"Although you have intercepted a group of my prisoners, I am still happy."

"Although there are many talented generals in our Great Zhou army, there are not many talented commanders. With you in the future, you can ensure that the Great Zhou will have no worries for the next ten years."

Su Qi was stunned, not understanding why Li Xiuzhu said that, was he being modest? But Li Xiuzhu quickly explained to Su Qi.

"Ask the soldiers in the army, I have never fought a war. Apart from setting a target for my men, everyone is free to do what they want."

"All of you captains are indispensable to the Northern Expedition's success today."

Su Qi laughed when he heard that.

"That's right, I'm not wrong."

"A general can only lead troops to fight and determine the gains and losses of a battle."

“Only a leader can coordinate the overall situation and make the best use of everything.”

At this time, Li Wuwei, Qi Chang, and Zhao Jian behind Li Xiuzhu also spoke up: "General Su is right. The reason why we were able to defeat Silla was all thanks to the general's layout."

"General, don't be modest. If General Li hadn't trained his troops with bandits along the way and made them bleed, our army would be vulnerable."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Yes. If it weren't for General Li's formation, we wouldn't even be able to take Juyong Pass."

Li Xiuzhu looked at the members of the Kua Kua Group and did not refute them after hearing what they said. Instead, he shook his head and said to Su Qi, "General, please arrange the military defense. Once it is arranged, we will set off immediately."

Su Qi frowned slightly when he heard this, with a look of displeasure on his face.

"General Li, are you in such a hurry to leave? You don't even have time to have a drink with me?"

Li Xiuzhu smiled awkwardly.

"Well, I miss my wife at home. But there is definitely time for a drink. Even if it's a shift, it will take a while, right?"

"Come here, go and arrange a few tables for the banquet. Today, General Su, this eunuch and I will have a drink together."

Upon hearing this, the eunuch who announced the decree hurriedly waved his hands and shook his head.

"My Lord, please don't embarrass me. I am just an eunuch who announces imperial decrees. How can I be worthy of sitting with two generals?"

Li Xiuzhu was also unwilling to sit with the eunuch, so he didn't force him and ordered, "Then prepare a table of good wine and banquet for this eunuch."

After hearing Li Xiuzhu's arrangement, Su Qi felt that it was well organized, so he let Li Xiuzhu go.

However, Su Qi was a little envious of Fu Wenhan. Li Xiuzhu had delicate features and looked quite scholarly and handsome. It would be great if he was his grandson-in-law.

Because of drinking with Su Qi, Li Xiuzhu naturally would not set out in the afternoon.

It was not until the next morning that he led his troops out of Juyong Pass.

After arriving at Yanmen Pass, they rested for another night, picked up Sun Ci and then continued their journey.

Of course, the reason for wasting so much time was not to pick up Sun Ci, but because of Xi Honglei.

Xi Honglei is going to the capital with Li Xiuzhu, so naturally arrangements have to be made in Huinuo City as well.

When Xi Honglei told Qin Wanqing that she was going to the capital, Qin Wanqing was stunned.

"Sister, didn't you go to rescue Qi Shaoshang? Why are you with this cavalry general Li Xiuzhu? And you're going to the capital with him."

"Don't you want us to destroy the thousands of sisters in Nuo City?"

Xi Honglei didn't expect this to happen at first. Hearing this, she just sighed and looked out the window with emotion.

"Maybe this is fate. Many things happen unexpectedly."

"But I am still happy now!"

"As for you, you will always be my sisters. If you have any problems in the future, send me a letter and I will definitely help you if I can."

"If you don't want to stay in Huinuo City anymore, you can come to Beijing to find me. I will definitely take good care of you just like I did in Huinuo City."

Qin Wanqing smiled bitterly when she heard this.

"It seems that elder sister has made up her mind, so I can only wish you happiness."

"If you are unhappy in the future, you can return to Huinuo City. You are still our eldest sister, and the position of aunt will always be reserved for you."

This is what sisters are like. Xi Honglei was so moved that she hugged Qin Wanqing but remained silent.

It’s not that I want to leave you. Your brother-in-law is very domineering. If I don’t go with him, I will bring trouble to you.
