Ah Da quickly responded, "I'll have someone keep a closer eye on it.
But it is not a long-term solution to keep these people in the prison of the government office. Lord, do you think you should…"
Zhou Shixiong, "They are indeed too idle. Go ask Lord Gu if there is any new wasteland that he is interested in and ask these people to pay some interest."
Ah Da, "...My Lord, that's not what I meant. I was thinking that these people are foreign nobles after all. If you lock them up in a cell like this, it won't be good for you if the higher-ups investigate."
Zhou Shixiong looked at Ah Da and said, "It seems that following the Empress for so many years has smoothed your mood.
No matter what the identities of these people are, they are now just prisoners of this general. "
"But……"
"Don't spend time with Li Ji. This general has his own reasons for doing things."
Ah Da: "Yes."

Gu Wenheng didn't expect that Li Ji was so shameless that he came uninvited and followed him, muttering for more than half an hour.
"Master Gu, if we tell others that we have imprisoned a prince in a dungeon, it will damage our national prestige. Can you discuss this with General Zhou? Or we can arrange a small courtyard to keep him there."
Gu Wenheng had long lost his patience. He had been able to deal with it before, but now he went straight at them, "What's wrong with this? These people are prisoners of war. Do I have to feed them well? Provide them with housing, and give them wives and children?"
Li Ji, "That's not the case. But if we put the princes in jail, it would be bad if it causes a war between the two countries."
Gu Wenheng didn't expect that after he took a few steps, this person would still follow him and mutter, "Why don't I tell General Zhou..."
"That's great. General Zhou needs you, sir..."
"I should tell him that detaining people for no reason is not a long-term solution after all.
It just so happened that the ship that the other party had sailed over earlier had been repaired. General Li was so kind that he certainly didn't want to see them suffer any more.
Why don't you just go over there on behalf of Rong Dynasty to inform their king and ask him to come quickly and redeem the person.
It's just that we suffered a lot of losses before, so we won't care too much about it, we just need them to return everything they robbed before."
Li Ji's face froze, "Master Gu is joking."
Gu Wenheng, "How can this be a joke? Looking at what General Li said before, I think the other country's leader will also treat you well.
General Li was able to solve such a big problem for His Majesty with just his eloquence. We all admire him very much.
If you, General, have no objection, I can definitely help you convince General Zhou.
This is a good thing that benefits the country and the people, and I think General Li will be happy with it."
Li Ji, "..." Why didn't anyone tell me why Gu Wenheng was so vicious? I just said a few words, but the other party wanted to push me to death?
He laughed dryly, "That's not necessary, is it?"
Gu Wenheng stopped at this moment and patted his shoulder, "General Li, although this trip is a little dangerous, if we reach their territory, I believe they will also warmly welcome you as an envoy, just as General Li thought."
Li Ji: "…" It's almost like dying.
Gu Wenheng took advantage of this opportunity to quickly call Lu Shenggen over, "Master Lu, the autumn harvest is coming, let's go and discuss it..."
They all wanted to discuss official business, so even if Li Ji wanted to convince them, it would not be a good idea for him to follow them at this moment.
He walked out with a gloomy face and swung his sleeves. When he reached the main gate, he happened to meet Wu Yichen. Seeing the other's eyes shining, he somehow felt a chill running down his back.
"General Li, are you here to see me?
We haven't seen each other for a while. Let's go for a few drinks later.
You have to wait, I will go call Lord He and the others first."
Li Ji finally knew where this ominous premonition came from, and his hand unconsciously pressed on his purse. The last meal cost him most of half a month's salary. If it happened again, he would have to starve to death for the whole month.
Seeing the other party's smiling face becoming more and more enthusiastic, Li Ji wanted to run away, but he still rationally forced a smile and said, "I have something else to do today. I'll find a few adults to have a drink together next time."
After saying this, he wanted to slap himself so hard that he fainted. What the hell was going on?
Wu Yichen was not disappointed either, and said with a smile on his face, "Then we can wait until the next time we have a day off, and then we will go to see General Li together."
Li Ji couldn't keep smiling anymore, "Okay...Okay."
Wu Yichen, "In that case, I won't see General Li off today. We can get drunk when the time comes."
Li Ji doubted that if he continued to listen to him, he would not be able to keep a straight face any longer, so he bowed and fled away.
"Really? It wasn't like this the last time we met. Why are you running so fast?" Wu Yichen shook his head as he spoke, and he didn't forget to say to the captain beside him, "General Li must have something important to do today.
In the past, he invited us to drink, which was very warm. "
Fan Changxi asked, "Master Wu and General Li have a good relationship?"
"Not really. We just drank once. We will become familiar with each other after drinking a few more times."
…
Li Ji ran out of the government office and felt a chill on his back. He could not help but quicken his pace and quickly get away from this place.

Seeing that there was no one around, Lu Shenggen mentioned again, "Master Gu, Lieutenant General Li does not have a good reputation in this border town."
Gu Wenheng patted his shoulder and said, "He's just a clown. You can inform Lord He and the others later. We really should make some arrangements for the autumn harvest."
This is the most important thing they have to face now. As long as they have food in hand, they will not have to panic, and they also have to be on guard against those bandits attacking again.
Although they have now detained the so-called Prince Zuo and his several thousand troops, who knows if the other party will make a comeback again.
Until the grain is stored in the warehouse, some necessary precautions must still be taken.

When Zhou Shixiong heard the report from the secret guard, he curled his lips in disdain.
Li Ji is getting worse and worse, and he even wants to provoke Gu Wenheng to lead the charge.
Is Gu Wenheng, who was born as the top scholar, so easy to scheme against?
"Since he likes to commit suicide, I'll teach him a lesson, so that he won't think I can ignore him and he can keep jumping around.
Ah Da, Li Ji will definitely send a letter to the capital in the near future to find someone to replace him."
Ah Da responded, "Then what content should be changed?"
Zhou Shixiong, "It's really hard for him to be a double-faced person here. It's time for him to ask for credit and benefits from his master."
"...Then I will ask for too much."
Zhou Shixiong, "Don't let the other party get suspicious."
"yes."
As for whether the other party would plant other spies, it didn’t matter to Zhou Shixiong.
Now, as long as the border is stabilized, these people will not be able to find fault even if they want to.
