For a long time, Yun Nishang did not speak, but just looked at Zhao Ji quietly.

Zhao Ji has been in the position of power for a long time now, and he is very accustomed to this kind of situation.

Anyway, it won’t hurt to take a look.

Zhao Ji just stood there calmly, allowing Yun Nishang to look at him carefully.

After a long while, Yun Nishang said, "Although I am at the northern border, I have heard about the Lord Seal Holder. I took the risk to come here today just to take a gamble!"

Zhao Ji smiled slightly: "I wonder what the general is betting on?"

Yun Nishang also smiled and said, "I bet that Master Zhangyin is a smart man with great ambitions..."

Zhao Ji laughed out loud: "I wonder if the general has won the bet now?"

Under the moonlight, Yun Nishang slowly put down the five-foot-long sword in her hand, looked at the moonlight in the distance, sighed and said: "Today, it seems that I have won the bet!"

"General, you have come here late at night and have come a long way. You must be very tired. The moonlight is bright now. If you don't mind the simplicity of the new residence the emperor has given me, you can rest in my house and come to see the emperor tomorrow!"

Yun Nishang was slightly stunned, but she didn't act shy like ordinary women. She smiled cheerfully, "Sure. Please entertain me, Master Seal."

As the two walked towards the guest room, although no one spoke, they seemed to be able to guess what the other was thinking.

Zhao Ji stood outside the yard: "General, please rest here tonight. We can discuss anything tomorrow. We still have to go to the emperor's place!"

Yun Nishang smiled faintly, turned around and clasped her fists towards Zhao Ji: "I am afraid that my return to the capital this time will be full of twists and turns. If there is really an emergency, I am afraid I will have to stay in Zhangyin's mansion."

Zhao Ji was silent for a long time as he looked at Yun Nishang's frank expression, and finally nodded: "The general is heroic and valiant, and women are as good as men. It's only right."

At the morning court the next day, Zhao Ji wanted to ask Yun Nishang to go with him, but when he arrived at Yun Nishang's yard, he found that Yun Nishang had left at some point.

I guess he didn't want to cause trouble for Zhao Ji.

"This woman is quite interesting." Zhao Ji shook his head and went to court alone.

At the morning court session, as expected, the most eye-catching news was Yun Nishang's meeting with the emperor.

As the only female general in our dynasty, Yun Nishang already attracted a lot of attention when she came over dressed in military uniform.

The official uniform seemed a little too big for Yun Nishang.

The emperor saw that Yun Nishang's expression did not change at all. Only after Yun Nishang briefly described the situation on the northern border did he slowly speak: "General Yun, you must have been exhausted all the way. Why don't you take a rest for two days?"

Yun Nishang smiled cheerfully: "I don't feel tired at all. I am able to do my best for the dynasty. This is what we as ministers should do!"

The emperor smiled on the surface, and then pretended to be a wise king: "I originally wanted to let you take a rest, but you are a person who can't sit still, so I now have something that I need you to do for me!"

Yun Nishang lowered her head, looking respectful: "It is my honor to be able to contribute a little to the dynasty. If the emperor has an errand for me, I will do my best!"

Yun Nishang's attitude had always been so respectful, and the emperor's expression improved a little. He then said, "My dear minister, you have been fighting for the country on the frontier for many years. You are the most valiant and skilled hero on the grassland, and naturally you are the one who knows the nomadic people on the grassland the best."

"Now these nomadic envoys have made some requests to the dynasty. Previously, it was Zhao Aiqing who was fully responsible. Now that the general has returned, why not assist Zhao Aiqing in handling it? What do you think?"

Yun Nishang half-closed her eyes, smiled and nodded: "Since Your Majesty trusts me so much, I will definitely live up to Your Majesty's expectations and will do my utmost to assist the Master of the Seal!"

Perhaps it was because Yun Nishang behaved very docilely throughout, or perhaps it was because no one among the ministers wanted to be involved in this mess, and for a while the atmosphere in the court was quite harmonious.

After the morning court was over, Zhao Ji invited Yun Nishang to a restaurant in the capital to discuss the matter of the rebel envoy.

In the private room of the restaurant, Zhao Ji smiled and watched Yun Nishang, who still looked harmless, saying, "There is no one else in this private room. General, you can put away your mask. I am not the emperor, and I don't like to see fake smiles!"

Zhao Ji said this directly but honestly. While pouring tea from the teapot, his eyes fell on Yun Nishang.

Yun Nishang just smiled faintly, and then seemed to have liberated her nature, no longer looking that gentle.

Yun Nishang leaned back and placed the sword beside her on the table with a bang.

It is obvious that the weight of this five-foot-long sword must be terrifying.

Perhaps seeing Zhao Ji's eyes on the long sword many times, Yun Nishang smiled and explained: "This long sword was left to me by my father and brother. It weighs a full twenty pounds and can even be used as a hammer on the battlefield. Sometimes those horsemen are blind and insist on rushing over, and I use this long sword to trip their horses' legs, and I always hit them!"

Zhao Ji looked at the sword with interest. In fact, Zhao Ji was more interested in Yun Nishang than this inanimate object.

"I think the general must have known the situation in the capital when he was on the way, otherwise he would not have penetrated into my mansion in the middle of the night."

An honest person doesn't speak in secret, so Zhao Ji made things clear right away.

Yun Nishang raised her eyebrows: "I haven't been around those annoying spies recently, and you can't find a chance to investigate me in such a short time, so is this your own guess?"

The fragrance of tea filled the air. Zhao Ji took a sip of the fragrant tea and said with a smile, "Sometimes you don't need to track too much. Just use your brain to think about it and you will understand!"

"I don't know what the general wants to do this time. Why don't we talk it out frankly? If we can get along, we'll naturally be on the same path. If not, we can just do our own thing!"

Yun Nishang closed her eyes and dozed off for a while, but was eventually disturbed by the aroma of tea.

"I suspect that the foreign envoys' purpose this time is not pure, and they are not coming to the capital to negotiate peace!"

Yun Nishang dropped a bombshell as soon as she opened her mouth.

Now everyone in the entire dynasty feels that this nomadic people is here to negotiate peace sincerely.

Zhao Ji asked calmly, "General, do you have any evidence for what you said? I can't just believe your words, right?"

Yun Nishang didn't even open her eyes, but took out a letter from her sleeve.

Put it on the table.

"This is the letter from their foreign country that I intercepted before returning to the court."

The dark yellow envelope seems to reflect the journey.

Zhao Ji picked up the envelope without changing his expression and pulled out the dark yellow letter paper inside.

There were still some bloodstains on the letter paper, which had already turned brown.
