Guifeng felt a little regretful when listening to the messenger's words.

He still wants to fight again.

I didn't expect them to surrender directly.

Gui Feng asked the messenger to go back and tell Wu Zhi to come here in person two days later to sign the letter of surrender.

He will then take over the place with 20,000 soldiers.

Similarly, he would ask the emperor for permission to confer the title of king on Wu Zhi, with the palace in his original country.

The messenger negotiated and bargained with Guifeng for some more time before returning quickly.

Messenger: Oh my god, it's so scary. Who among these people from the Central Plains spread the rumor that boys can only wash clothes and cook, and that boys from the Central Plains are all weak? That general is obviously also a boy, but when I talk to him, I always feel that he will draw his sword and chop off my head in the next second.

Fu Guang touched his chin and said, "General, if we finish this, won't it be a great achievement? Can we prepare to return to the court?"

Gui Feng wrote: "It's not that simple. After signing the surrender letter, taking over the place is still a problem. There is a language barrier, and we have to suppress some people who are not obedient. The surrounding countries are also eyeing us covetously. It will probably take a year or so to deal with it."

"After the treaty is signed, we will have to call on people from the country to come here, exchange the cultures and customs of the two countries, prepare for post-war construction, and wait for the imperial court to send officials here. There are so many things to do."

Fu Guang touched his chin and said, "If we weren't generals, we wouldn't be the ones to handle all these matters."

After Guifeng wrote the letter, he blew it dry.

Then fold it and put it in an envelope.

After the work was done, he asked someone to send it to his young husband.

My husband is so spoiled. I haven't written back to him for more than half a month. He might be crying out of anxiety now.

I don’t know whether my husband has taken good care of me during the time I was away.

I don’t know if I have been bullied.

The Tongsheng examination is about to begin. I don’t know how my husband has prepared, but I’m sure he will pass it.

When I finish my work now and return home, I will go and see you when I pass by your house.

Then he can set off early and won't delay his trip.

He sealed the letter and handed it to Fu Guang: "Have someone deliver it to Chi An."

Fu Guang looked at the letter in his hand, then looked at his master's gentle face as he thought of Chi An.

I was suddenly startled.

Sometimes she really couldn't understand how two strangers could have such a pleasant conversation and get to know each other and fall in love with each other.

Don't you feel embarrassed?

She felt that she had eaten all day and was full.

Fu Guang took the letter and went out and asked someone to deliver it.

Fu Guang thought about Chi An's beauty and felt that it was normal for Gui Feng to think about her often.

If my wife also had a beautiful face, I would definitely miss her often.

Fu Guang: Tsk tsk, this is probably what people say, that even a hero can be tempted by a beautiful woman.

Chi An received Gui Feng's letter after the announcement of the successful candidates.

He was number one on the list, the top candidate in the prefecture.

Li Xiayun is also on the list, ranking second.

He was the top scorer in the prefectural examination and was directly awarded the title of scholar without having to take the imperial examination.

He is now preparing for the imperial examination in August.

Chi An sat on the kang and happily read the letter written by Gui Feng.

The general meaning of the letter was that Guifeng was doing well and had won a victory. He would return to the court after dealing with matters with the Xiongnu and handing over to the officials sent by the court. He would then set out in advance to see him.

Chi An took the kang table down from the kang cabinet and put it away.

He took out pen, ink, paper and inkstone and started writing a letter to Guifeng.

Chi An first wrote a rough copy.

Look at what is written in the letter and make some revisions.

After deleting and revising for half an hour, I finally confirmed it.

I took another piece of letter paper and started copying.

Chi An wrote a lot.

Wrote six pages.

After writing, put it in an envelope.

I put it on the bedside table and feel happy.

I plan to go to the county, to Xuantian Pavilion tomorrow, and ask the people there to deliver it when they are free.

When he first started delivering letters, he asked merchants passing by to deliver them.

He was in grief over the separation and did not hear clearly what Guifeng said to him.

Later, Guifeng mentioned Xuantian Pavilion in the letter and told him that if he wanted to send a letter, he could go to Xuantian Pavilion.

Let the person inside deliver the letter.

Or after waiting for half a month, someone would come to his door and ask if he wanted the letter delivered.

Chi An couldn't wait any longer.

The delivery of the letter will be delayed for ten days or half a month.

If I wait another half a month, it would take a month for the letter to reach my brother.

He wanted to get the letter to his brother as soon as possible.

Share your joy with your brother.

I also bought some books to read. The books in the county are more comprehensive than those in the town.

If it weren't for the fact that the weather is slowly warming up.

He also wanted to make some food and send it to his brother.

It’s okay in winter, but now I’m afraid it may go bad on the way if it’s not delivered yet.

Chi An kept all the letters that Gui Feng wrote to him carefully.

Whenever you miss Guifeng, just take it out and have a look.

In the morning, Chi An got up early, harnessed the carriage, and prepared to go to the county.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Li Xiayun from next door sweeping the fallen leaves at the door with a broom.

Li Xiayun looked at Chi An and asked casually, "What are you doing so early in the morning? Isn't the academy closed for the holidays?"

Chi An was happy thinking about delivering a letter, and he could speak to Li Xiayun calmly: "Go deliver a letter to my husband."

Li Xiayun paused as she heard Chi An's words.

"Can you give me my share as well?"

Chi An wanted to refuse.

This Li Xiayun is my love rival, I don't want to send a letter to my love rival.

Li Xiayun looked at Chi An's expression, sighed, and said seriously: "I had little experience before, and I separated the grace of saving my life and love very much, so I thought I liked Brother Feng. I thought about it myself in the past six months, and I felt that I was grateful to Brother Feng. Don't think too much."

Chi An sat in the carriage and looked at Li Xiayun with some suspicion.

I don't quite believe it.

But Li Xiayun's expression and tone were very sincere.

I felt a little less alert.

"Then let me check your letter first."

This request is unreasonable and presumptuous.

Li Xiayun agreed.

Chi An took a look and just showed usual concern. He told him that he had passed the examination and praised him for having won the first place in the prefectural examination.

The doubts in Chi An's heart dissipated a little.

I kept the letter and planned to send it over together when the time comes.

He now liked Li Xiayun a little better: "Okay, I'll give it to you when the time comes. You should prepare well for the exam. I don't want to miss you during the autumn exam."

Li Xiayun took out some silver and handed it to Chi An: "This is money for the letter."

Chi An accepted it.

When you plan to buy books for yourself, buy a few for Li Xiayun as well.

Chi An drove the carriage towards Luoxia County.

While hurrying, he estimated the time in his mind, estimating the time when Guifeng would come back, and then he would prepare something delicious for Guifeng.

He calculated that it would be around the autumn examination time.
