After picking up a book and flipping through a few pages, Gong Wei's excitement grew even stronger. This military treatise was far superior to anything he had read before.
"Son, these books were given to you by Lady Hong. Is it appropriate for you to give them to us now?" Gong Wei asked with some hesitation, certain that these military books were priceless treasures.
“I asked my mother, and she said that whatever she gave me is mine, and I can give it to whomever I want,” Tianquan replied.
“Your mother is so generous in giving you all the good things. But she treats you so well, yet you call her ‘mother.’ Won’t that affect her marriage prospects? Isn’t that a bit like repaying kindness with enmity?” Dou Suyi said with feeling.

After circling around the main streets, she found that the enemy's garrison position had not changed, so she entered the government office, which was brightly lit.
Several enemy generals sat around a large square table, on which sat wine and dishes.
"General Ye, General Pang, I keep my word. Whoever captures the maid who shot my son will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver."
"Kill her, and you'll get two hundred taels of silver." A man in his fifties, dressed in an official robe, said viciously.
Hong Xiaoduo listened to the voice coming from the screen and pursed her lips. No wonder that guy was so arrogant, he's a second-generation official...
