Cold sweat caused by nervousness instantly flowed down Zhou Zhiruo's beautiful cheeks.
"Zhao Linger lived next door last night. Maybe she heard something."
"Damn, what should I do?"
Just when Zhou Zhiruo was at a loss, Zhao Linger walked towards her with a smile.
"My dear sister, it's almost noon now. You haven't eaten yet, right?"
Zhao Linger walked into Zhou Zhiruo's room naturally, holding the food box in her hand.
Zhou Zhiruo originally wanted to stop it, but because her legs were a little weak, she was too late to do anything.
Zhao Linger saw everything last night, but the moment she entered Zhou Zhiruo's room, she pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh, sister, what happened to you? You are a girl, how could you make the room such a mess in just one night?"
At this moment, the furnishings in the room were indeed in a terrible mess. All of this was supposed to be blamed on Zhang Wuji, but Zhou Zhiruo had no choice but to swallow her anger.
After thinking for a while, Zhou Zhiruo said with a blushing face: "Well, that's because I was a little unhappy last night, so I took my anger out on the furnishings in the house. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, sister."
Zhao Linger thought to herself, "Are you unhappy? Don't you think about how you looked last night? I saw you were so happy that you almost died."
Although she thought so in her heart, Zhao Linger couldn't say it out loud.
She placed the food box in her hand on the table beside her.
Seeing this, Zhou Zhiruo hurriedly said to Zhao Linger: "Sister, you still care about your sister. I just haven't eaten yet."
Zhao Linger said: "Sister, I came to bring you food, not because I want to show my kindness to you, but because at this moment, there are only two women like us in Zhang Wuji's army. Even if we don't like each other, we still have to warm each other up."
"So neither of us can isolate the other, otherwise, you and I might not even have anyone to talk to."
Zhou Zhiruo thought to herself, "Women are all the same. What they think and what they say are always different."
However, no matter what, Zhou Zhiruo was still grateful to Zhao Linger from the bottom of her heart for her actions today.
After Zhao Linger put down the food box, she left, but when she reached the door, she suddenly asked Zhou Zhiruo.
"Sister, the way you walk seems a little strange. Is there something wrong with your legs? Do you want me to find a doctor to check it out for you?"
Legs? Zhou Zhiruo's cheeks flushed instantly, and she quickly said, "No need, I just twisted it accidentally last night. We are all martial artists, it will be healed in two days."
…
Awkward, so embarrassing.
Embarrassed Zhou Zhiruo didn't even dare to ask Zhao Linger if she had heard anything last night.
Zhou Zhiruo is also a smart woman. She knows what questions to ask and what questions not to ask. No matter whether Zhao Linger heard anything last night, she is the only one who is embarrassed in the end.
…
The matter in Hanzhong has come to an end for the time being.
Zhang Wuji's first two battles in the conquest of the three provinces of Hexi went relatively smoothly, and the casualties were still within his acceptable range.
Of course, all of this may ultimately be thanks to those rebel kings in Jiangnan.
If they had not rebelled before Zhang Wuji, most of the military forces of the three Hexi provinces would not have been transferred to Jiangnan many years ago to suppress them.
If it weren't for this previous cause, Zhang Wuji would not have been able to use thousands of soldiers to cause unrest in Gansu and Shaanxi.
…
Three days later, Xuzhou.
Zhang Shicheng was almost angry to death.
When he saw Nie Qu and Song Yiyong leading 80,000 soldiers and horses returning intact, he already knew what had happened.
If Zhang Shicheng had known this would happen, he would not have led 120,000 troops to the battle.
If 100,000 troops had been left in Suzhou to prevent Chen Youliang's surprise attack, such a large territory would not have been lost so quickly.
…
Although he felt a little regretful, Zhang Shicheng was temporarily safe no matter what. He lost Suzhou, but at least he temporarily got rid of Chen Youliang, a huge trouble.
In the imperial city of Dadu, although Zhang Shicheng temporarily got rid of Chen Youliang, Zhao Min was about to face this man.
The current battle will be her most crucial one. Chen Youliang's navy has already set out from Suzhou.
If we count by the days, it will probably be less than ten days before Zhao Min will face this biggest traitor in the world.
Han Yulou beside her said: "Empress Dowager, now is the time to use people. Do you want to transfer Duan Zihao back from Zhigu Village? He will always be of some use."
After thinking for a moment, Zhao Min said, "Okay, Master, please find someone to convey the order now. By the way, mobilize 30,000 troops from Zhigu Village to defend Dadu."
Mobilize another 30,000!
Han Yulou said: "Empress Dowager, you just transferred back 30,000 troops some time ago. If you transfer another 30,000, Zhigu Fort will be empty."
Zhao Min smiled disdainfully: "So what if it's empty? If we can't even defend it, what's the point of having Zhigu Fort?"
"What's more, Zhang Wuji is busy conquering the three provinces in Hexi now. He has no time to plot against me. Besides, those idiots on the grassland are about to move south. If those idiots can recapture Longcheng, Zhigu Village will no longer need a garrison."
Han Yulou nodded, and he also agreed with Zhao Min's opinion.
