After Xiao Meng entered the tent, she handed Li Xiuzhu a bamboo tube. The tube was not big, about the size of a fire starter, and there were two pieces of paper inside.

"My sister told me to give this to you."

Although the family is arranged by age, my sister only has Fu Yuehua as the legal wife.

But just as Li Xiuzhu took it, Xiaomeng took out another bamboo tube.

"This is what Sister Liuli gave you. She said you can't let anyone else see it, including the sisters."

After saying that, Xiao Meng looked at Li Xiuzhu with clear eyes and asked, "Husband, where should I sleep?"

"Well, aren't you going to sleep with your husband on your first day here?"

Xiao Meng shook her head and said seriously: "After sleeping with my husband, Xiao Meng will think about it and it will take two or three days to calm down."

"My sister said this trip is more dangerous and my skills require me to stay calm, so I can't sleep with my husband."

Li Xiuzhu paused, his mouth twitched, and he really wanted to ask Xiaomeng, "Are you serious?" But then he thought of her innocent look, and maybe she was serious.

Li Xiuzhu had to speak up: "It's not dangerous now. It's still early, so it's okay for us to sleep together during this period."

Xiao Meng looked at Li Xiuzhu with clear eyes and shook her head and said, "Sister said that my husband is not a good person. She will definitely think of ways to make me sleep with him, so what my husband says about sleeping is not credible."

??? Fu Yuehua? Is this the impression your father gave you?

It's a rumor, right?

But looking at Xiaomeng's pure eyes, he really couldn't force it.

It's outrageous.

Li Xiuzhu said weakly: "Go find your sister Sanniang, she will make arrangements for you."

"Li Hongxiu, go take Madam to Madam's tent."

After Xiaomeng left, Li Xiuzhu opened the letter brought by Fu Yuehua.

As expected, the first one was given by Fu Wenhan. The reason why Xiaomeng came late was because Fu Wenhan had kept Xiaomeng waiting.

It was not until now that Li Xiuzhu received the information.

Fu Wenhan's message was very simple, mainly consisting of three points.

First, we are ready to go to Beijing and can close the net at any time, just waiting for his news.

Second, the Sun family can be gone, but Suzhou and Hangzhou cannot be in chaos.

Third, if the Sun family is deeply rooted, if there is danger, or if a large number of soldiers need to be killed, they can temporarily cede land and seek peace.

From the third message, we can see the trust his father-in-law has in him.

However, Li Xiuzhu never thought of asking for peace. If his knees were weak, it would be hard to straighten them up, and then it would be difficult to lead the team.

Li Xiuzhu opened the second piece of letter paper. This piece of letter paper was written by Fu Yuehua, and it recorded all the big and small things at home and her thoughts.

The third piece of letter was unexpected, it was written by Li Biyao, and the letter said that Li Biyao had reached a purchase agreement with Siam through her grandfather's family and would start trading grain in three months.

So a lot of money is needed to support it.

Li Xiuzhu didn't care when he heard that. Those tens of thousands of taels of gold were enough, even enough for the whole year.

This does not include what the Su family gave him. Of course, he would not use the money given by the Su family for this.

As for next year, wouldn't Siam be conquered next year? Li Liuli wrote about missing him and asking Li Xiuzhu to buy her a gift.

She even hinted that she had met Yuanying, and then sent Xi Baibai to Concubine Li, and was waiting for him to come back to complete Yuanying's coming-of-age ceremony.

Time passed quickly, half a month passed, and the Grand Canal was dug to Jiangdu.

After arriving in Jiangdu, Li Xiuzhu looked at Suzhou and Hangzhou on the other side of the river.

Jiangdu was not very prosperous at that time, but it was not too bad because it was close to Suzhou and Hangzhou.

It was a rare move for Li Xiuzhu to move his residence into Jiangdu.

On this day, the excavation of the Grand Canal had been completed, and only the final canal clearance remained.

Li Xiuzhu knew what Niu Jinlie wanted to ask, so he didn't beat around the bush and said, "Are you going to attack Suhang?"

Niu Jinlie didn't expect Li Xiuzhu to be so direct and not to refuse at all. He felt a little embarrassed.

He thought that Li Xiuzhu had not mentioned anything yet because he was not planning to avenge the general.

But he was not the shy person, so he just smiled when he felt embarrassed.

"Yes, Lao Niu just wants to ask you, Your Majesty, whether your words still count. If you want to hit Lao Niu, I will definitely hit him."

"If the prince has difficulties and is unwilling, I, Old Niu, can understand, but I, Old Niu, will take off this military uniform today."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuzhu said directly: "Go and ask your confidant to prepare. At night, the Su family's flower boat will take you across the river. But there are only a limited number of flower boats, so there will definitely not be many people crossing the river."

"Even if we transport them until 4:00 pm, I'm afraid there will only be 20 to 30 thousand people."

"And if you are exposed, you may die. Think carefully about it."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"If you arrive safely, take this command arrow and release it at the north gate, and someone in the city will help you seize the gate."

Niu Jinlie said excitedly: "Your Majesty, we are not afraid of death. I, Niu Jinlie, am willing to lead the way."

Li Xiuzhu nodded.

"My two concubines will support you. If you need to attack the city by force, you must obey her orders."

Niu Jinlie felt numb and a little unhappy when he heard this.

"My Lord, I don't mean to offend you, but does your concubine know how to attack a city or a pond?"

Li Xiuzhu smiled when he heard this.

"My two concubines are both peerless masters, and one of them gave me advice and helped me guard Dasheng Pass for ten years."

Niu Jinlie was speechless for a moment, and was instead confused. They knew very well what the two peerless masters represented.

They are the enemies of thousands of people, and a single person can charge into the army without dying.

If you strike the enemy by surprise, you can even take the enemy's head amidst thousands of troops.

"Remember, allies wear white cuffs and can only leave the barracks at night."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After Niu Jinlie left, Li Xiuzhu called Huang Rong and the other five girls over.

"Rong'er, take Xiaomeng to attack the city,"

"Mingyue, you stay at the house and take care of the family."

"Sanniang, Xiuxin, follow me into the city and learn about the hidden cards of the Sun family."

The five girls all nodded. Although Nalan Mingyue also wanted to follow Li Xiuzhu, she also knew that there were several younger sisters in the house who were left unattended.

Sometimes the enemy does not necessarily come only from outside.

Huang Rong frowned and asked, "If the prince enters the city like this, if he is discovered, it will be much more difficult to attack the city."

"If someone at the city gate sends a signal, the Sun family will definitely flee in advance."

"And I heard from my brothers in the Beggars' Sect that the Sun family has a hidden master who is cunning and ruthless. He is likely to be on guard against our attack on the city."

"At this time, the city walls must be heavily guarded."

"There may even be generals in the army waiting for the peerless master, the prince, at the gate of Jiangdu City."

Li Xiuzhu nodded, then said, "So we disguised ourselves to leave and enter the city."

"Suzhou and Hangzhou are close to the Huai River, and there are too many people coming in and out. It's not dark yet, the city gates are open, and I'm with two girls. How can he defend against me?"
