When Huo Baichuan left, he was very reluctant to part with her, no, he should be said to be very unwilling. Then he told Zhao Shu countless times, "You are not allowed to be affectionate with him."
Zhao Shu felt that if she nodded, he could go back sooner, so she nodded.
"Remember to think of me often."
Zhao Shu nodded again. She remembered the first time she met Huo Baichuan, she was disillusioned with her idol. Now he was disillusioned again. What a childish person.
"If you can't win, run away. Don't be reckless, understand?" Although he knew that Zhao Shu hadn't come to Chu to fight, but to encircle and annihilate the princes, he was still very worried and felt that Zhao Shu would definitely go to the battlefield before he was satisfied.
Zhao Shu nodded. The world is in chaos, and order needs to be re-established. Whether in the capital or elsewhere, Huo Baichuan is indispensable. He needs to be in charge. If he returns sooner, the chaos can probably end sooner.
Moreover, Wei Tingsi, Wang Jiyang, and she are all in Chu, which is far too many people. Other places are inevitably weak and isolated. Wang Jiyang is here to be a strategist, so he can't leave. Therefore, he has no choice but to leave.
"Then I'm leaving. Don't you have anything to say?" He sounded very pitiful and pathetic. It was hard to tell where he had learned such a trick. If it were Yan Ruyu, she would have been heartbroken long ago.
But the target is Zhao Shu, and she won't be fooled by that pitiful expression. Huo is a cunning villain; if you take him seriously, you'll lose.
However, since she had been asked that way, Zhao Shu replied, "Take care. I hope you're still alive when I return to the capital."
Then Huo Baichuan was not very satisfied, "I've told you so much, why did you only say these few words?"
Like a child who is always hungry, nitpicking over every little thing.
"Alright, take good care of yourself. You're not getting any younger. Hurry up and find someone to marry so your aunt won't worry about you."
Huo Baichuan really left this time, without looking back, and walked away with a flourish. "Wait for me, I'll come and marry you after I've settled the political affairs, so my elder sister won't be in a hurry."
Zhao Shu was speechless as she watched him leave. How did this childish person with such an awkward personality grow up?
"Princess." Zhao Shu walked back and encountered someone on the way, which surprised her. What was Lin Dongxue doing here?
Hearing him greet her, Zhao Shu smiled and gestured, "What brings Young Master Lin here?"
"General Wei is looking for a caravan to go to Zhuzhou. I happen to have been there before, so I'm here to serve the country." Lin Dongxue was still as shy as ever. He was a very sunny young man, and he was especially cute when he was shy.
It had been a long time since they last met, and Zhao Shu noticed that he had gotten much darker, probably from traveling a lot. "I didn't expect that Young Master Lin had been to Zhuzhou at such a young age. He must be very knowledgeable and have been to other more expansive places, right?"
"I haven't been to many places. I've only been to Siam, Myanmar, and some islands in the south. I haven't had time to go to any more distant places yet. Maybe I'll travel by sea to see the world in the future."
Zhao Shu was surprised that he actually wanted to go to sea. No wonder he came from a large business family; his business acumen was excellent. "It's already extremely rare for someone to have been to so many places. Unlike me, the farthest place I've ever been is Chu."
"Compared to my predecessors, I still have a long way to go." He was very modest, and when praised by Zhao Shu, he would scratch his head shyly.
It's hard to imagine that a man who has traveled all over the country would be so shy.
As they were talking, Wei Tingsi came over. "Marshal Wei," Lin Dongxue greeted him.
Wei Tingsi simply nodded, his gaze fixed on Zhao Shu, and said, "Go and have your meal."
"kindness."
Wei Tingsi took Zhao Shu to a meal, and Yan Ze personally led Lin Dongxue to the room arranged for him.
"Are you going to Zhuzhou?" Zhao Shu asked Wei Tingsi.
"The roads to Shu are impassable. A direct confrontation would result in mutual destruction, and we also have to guard against Xiliang. However, if we attack Xiliang first, we need to worry about being attacked from both sides by Shu and Xiliang. Therefore, I plan to start with Zhuzhou, first subdue the King of Shu, and then subdue Xiliang." He did not hide anything and told Zhao Shu his battle plan in detail.
Indeed, starting with Zhuzhou would be much better. "Ji Dongxue is in Zhuzhou, do you have any contact with him?"
"Yes, he will take 30,000 men with him, and he will be in charge of the warhorses."
Actually, the roads in Shu are difficult to travel, so warhorses aren't very useful, but it's better than nothing.
Furthermore, Zhao Shu was relieved to have been in contact with him. Although Ji Dongxue had been demoted to Zhuzhou, he was still loyal. By the time he was demoted, he was no longer involved in factional strife, and even if he did, he would be powerless to change the situation.
The two arrived at the dining area, where Zhang Chang, a grown man, was personally setting out the dishes. Upon seeing Zhao Shu and the other woman, he bowed and said, "Princess, these were all prepared by our Marshal himself."
On the table were cold steamed eggplant salad, cabbage with glass noodles, steamed fish with soy sauce, dry-pot tofu, spicy crayfish, and Sichuan-style cold noodles. It seemed that these were all dishes that Zhao Shu liked to eat. There was no particular skill involved in the combination, but each dish looked excellent.
"You made all of this?" She was a little skeptical. How could a dignified marshal know how to cook, and even make so much? She remembered that she had only learned how to make Sichuan-style cold noodles on the spot last time.
Wei Tingsi smiled mysteriously, "Eat it."
"My God, did you really make this? Did you come here to fight a war, or to learn how to cook?" Zhao Shu sat down, and Zhang Chang had already quietly left, leaving only the two of them. Xiao Guozi and Chu Chun stood guard outside the door. No one dared to come in to serve them. Marshal Wei was too terrifying, especially when he had a cold face, like the King of Hell.
She picked up a piece of cold steamed eggplant with her chopsticks and ate it. "Mmm, it's delicious. Although it's far from Xing'er's level, it's already very good. This eggplant is also delicious when grilled. But you didn't make this sauce, did you?"
"The sauce is ready-made; the main thing is that it's steamed well." Wei Tingsi peeled a spicy crayfish for her. "Try it."
"Where did you learn this from?" Zhao Shu ate it and found it tasted good, like the flavor of the Xiangjiang area. She and Ajiu had eaten it before, and it was very authentic.
