When Chu Zihou received Shen Xizhen's letter, it was already after she arrived in the country.

Looking at the apologetic and implicit resolute words in her letter, the little resentment in his heart disappeared without a trace.

His hand gently rested on her delicate and free handwriting, as if he had touched her again.

She will do it when she thinks it is important, no matter how much resistance, he understands her.

He folded her letter and put it in a drawer, then stepped out of the makeshift tent at the Great River Bay camp and walked out to the meadow not far away.

He lay on his back on the grass, remembering the last time he and Shen Xizhen kissed on the grass, and Yan Sù couldn't help but have a gentle smile on his face.

There were stars twinkling in the night sky, and he looked up for a long time.

There is no doubt that every step she has to take in the country is difficult and abnormal, and he is worried about her safety.

The woman he loves is a person who always knows what he wants and will not be led by others, he has so much love for her, but also so many worries. He wished she could snuggle up to him so tenderly, but she would always go on her way after a short break, doing what she thought had to do.

She always had so much to do!

He sighed softly.

…………………

The next morning, Deng Yan summoned all the members of the think tank.

Prime Minister Liu Ming was also present.

"Before I need you to give advice to the country, I will arrange for you to go to the history museum to learn more about the history of the country, and after you have a thorough understanding of the history of the country, I will send you to live in the people for two months. In order to understand the people's situation in the country at this stage, after you come back, you will need each of you to hand over a reform policy of no less than 10,000 words, and the field is not limited. But be realistic and realistic. Deng Yan said to the members of the think tank with a stern face.

"No!" Everyone replied in unison.

"Lu Ling." Deng Yan looked at Shen Xizhen and spoke.

"Yes." Shen Xizhen couldn't react slightly, and waited for a while before responding.

"As the head of the think tank, you are responsible for the distribution of personnel."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Shen Xizhen hurriedly responded.

"Then you all go to the history museum to see the materials, and set off to the people in five days."

"Yes." Again, everyone replied in unison.

There are a total of 15 people in the think tank, and all of them have answered the 300 questions, so they are the best among people in terms of language organization, logical thinking, psychological endurance and adaptability.

Shen Xizhen used the opportunity to understand the historical materials of the Mao Kingdom in the historical view, and also learned about their life history and character. By the afternoon of the fifth day, she had done the work of assigning personnel.

"Peng Feng and I are in a group, and we are going to Zhuzhou, Tiaozhou, Heima Prefecture and Tiaolu Ethnic Region. Fan Yun and Gong add a group and go to ......"

Shen Xizhen divided these large states close to Xi as his own investigation area.

Night. Shen Xizhen met Liu Ming secretly: "Please send this letter out of the country overnight to Captain Liu Xianchen, and then he will send eight people who have changed their appearance to come to Mao Kingdom, and you will arrange them to go to Zhuzhou, Tiaozhou, Heima Prefecture and Tiaolu Ethnic Region." ”

"Okay, so how do you keep in touch then?" Liu Ming is careful. The question immediately came to mind.

"I'll make it by the code they put on their clothes. I have already explained this method in my letter. Shen Xizhen said calmly.

"Okay." Liu Ming happily responded, and his heart was suddenly relieved. He has always been known for his calm and thoughtful work, but he didn't expect to be as good as the woman in front of him who was much younger than him.

When Shen Xizhen returned to the intersection of Rulin Garden, he found that Pepper was already waiting there.

"You focus on learning about the news of the three camps, the Liuying Battalion, the Water and the Army Battalion, and keep abreast of their movements. In addition, you need to be in close contact with Liu Ming so that you can help each other. Xizhen said to him.

"Okay."

"Have you insisted on practicing?" Xizhen asked with concern.

"Yes, there is practice. But it's rarely used, and the people in the Praetorian Guard don't like to talk. Pepper replied.

"That's better, as the saying goes: Woe comes from the mouth. It's wise to talk less, especially when we're in danger. ”

"Yes. You have to take care of yourself, and I won't go in. ”

"Okay, you hurry back, it's worth it again tomorrow morning."

The two looked at each other and smiled, waving goodbye.

……………

After studying in the history museum five days ago, Shen Xizhen already knew a lot about the history of the Mao Kingdom, so every time she went to a place, she could tell the customs of the place, the events that had happened and the characters she had seen.

In order to deepen her impression, she revisited these histories with Peng Feng in a question-and-answer manner along the way.

Peng Feng is twenty-four years old, talented, resourceful and good at judging the situation, eclectic, dexterous, and not too talkative, which is the reason why Shen Xizhen divided him into his own group. She needed a helper who could get along well and be able to stretch out.

"Peng Feng, have you ever been to Xi Country?" Standing on the high hillside and looking at Xi Guo opposite, Xi Zhen suddenly asked him.

"Nope." Peng Feng replied,

"I haven't been there either." Shen Xizhen said with a smile.

………………

In the palace, Deng Yan and more than 20 ministers were discussing in secret.

They were discussing how to take the northern frontier of the Xi Kingdom in four to six months.

Conquering the northern frontier of the Xi Kingdom, Yixue's defeat and revenge that year, this is Deng Yan's wish that has been buried in his heart for two whole years.

"Because of the painful lesson last time, we must not have any mistakes this time, all Aiqing, present your clever plans." Deng Yan looked at the ministers and said.

"Your Majesty, Weichen knows that you are eager to avenge the defeat of the year, but now the national strength of the Xi Kingdom is far from being comparable to the past, we must not act rashly!" An old minister persuaded bitterly.

"In Weichen's opinion, this is an excellent time. As you must have seen, we have produced enough new weapons in the past six months, and it is more than enough to attack their northern frontier, so this time as long as we work harder on ways and means to not give them a chance to counterattack. Liu Ming said extremely calmly.

Deng Yan, who had been thinking about capturing the northern frontier of the Xi Kingdom as soon as possible and destroying the prestige of Emperor Guangzhao, agreed with Liu Ming's words, so he said: "The prime minister is reasonable, so what does the prime minister think?" Although. ”

Other people know that Deng Yan is most willing to listen to Liu Ming's words, where do they dare to say half a sentence? I had to suppress those worries and listen to Liu Ming.

Liu Ming said confidently: "First, since the Guang'an Houhui of the Xi Kingdom will pray for the wind, this time we will definitely not be able to attack by water, and we can increase our troops by land." Second, we can apply the method of attacking the east and the west, first send a team of men and horses to attack the southern end of the northern frontier of the Xi Kingdom, and when they focus their attention on the southern end, we will immediately send a large team to attack from the northern end and kill them by surprise. Liu Ming said that he personally unfolded the map and explained to everyone further: "The terrain at the southern end of the northern frontier of the Xi Kingdom is steep, and it is easy to fight a delayed battle, and there are many plains at the northern end of them, which is conducive to our enlarged army to rush over. When the army rushes over there, they can outflank their army at once......"

"Uh-huh, the prime minister has a point." Deng Yan nodded frequently.

In the afternoon of the same day, Deng Yan summoned the leaders of various army armies to discuss with them specific battle plans.

Liu Ming was also present.

That night, Liu Ming sent someone to secretly send Shen Xizhen, who was doing an investigation, to Shen Xizhen in the form of a secret message.

Shen Xizhen saw his suspicions from Peng Feng's expression, and explained with a smile: "This is a letter sent to me by the prime minister, saying that the emperor wants to know the progress of our work now, and asked me to hurry up and give a reply. ”

"Oh." Peng Feng didn't ask any more questions, and went to the side to get busy.

Xizhen immediately wrote back to Liu Ming: "Immediately write two letters to Xi to explain the situation, one to Shen Xicong in Northern Xinjiang and one to Emperor Guangzhao." ”

The content of the letter is all code characters, and outsiders can't see the specific content at all, this is the communication method agreed between Shen Xizhen and Liu Ming.

She sent a letter to Shen Xicong as early as before she set off to come to Maoguo, asking him to be the information contact person on the northern Xinjiang side, so the letter sent by Liu Ming could reach the general in charge of military affairs in northern Xinjiang.

Shen Xicong is the person she trusts the most, so he is the most suitable person.

Three days later, Shen Xizhen and Peng Feng arrived at a temple on the outskirts of Zhuzhou City.

She was going to meet the informant sent by Liu Xianchen here. She knew yesterday that they would be waiting for her here today.

"Commander, what are we doing here?" Peng Feng was puzzled.

"I heard that it's very smart to come here to ask for a visa, and since I'm here, of course I can't miss the opportunity to ask for a visa." Xizhen said with a grin.

Peng Feng thought about it, so he walked into the temple with her.

But seeing the crowds in the temple, it was estimated that it would take half an hour for them to take their turn to offer incense and ask for lots, so Xizhen said to him: "I'll go to the toilet, you can line up here first." ”

"Uh-huh." Peng Feng replied briskly.

Shen Xizhen immediately walked out from the side of the temple and walked straight towards the bamboo forest on the west side.

In the bamboo forest, two men about fifty years old and dressed in Taoist robes were waiting for her.

As he got closer, he saw the small lotus-shaped brooch pinned to their chests and bowed to them.

"In the future, the information response here in Zhuzhou will be bothersome to the two of you!" Shen Xizhen said respectfully towards them.

"Guang'an is not polite, we will definitely do our best to help you." They also saluted Shen Xizhen respectfully.

In order to prevent people from arousing suspicion, Shen Xizhen did not stay with them for long, nor did he say a word more, and left in a hurry after finishing what he should have said.

Looking at her distant back, both of them showed sincere respect on their faces. (To be continued......)
