Chu Zihou's letter was delivered to Shen Xizhen by a mysterious messenger early the next morning.

He was also shocked when he learned that the tribute state had sent soldiers to guard all the entrances and exits of the underground tunnel.

She and Chu Zihou had thought of everything, but they didn't count it to this level - they didn't expect that there would be a master who would break the sky to Yan Hao.

That's when things get really hard.

If time is delayed because of this, Yan Hao will take Chu Zihou. If you act rashly, it is equivalent to letting Hua Yueyu and the prince go to death.

Shen Xizhen supported his forehead with his hands and was meditating.

Seeing that Shen Xizhen fell into deep thought after reading the letter, Liu Ming and Hua Yueyu hurriedly took the letter and read it.

At this glance, they were not only stunned, but also sweating profusely. This news undoubtedly announced the failure of Shen Xizhen and Chu Zihou's plan.

So what to do?

The army of nearly one million people in the Xi country has arrived, and the life and death of the people of the entire Xi country are staked in this battle, but now they are told that the enemy country has been aware, so is it possible to reverse the situation?

However, at this time, it was superfluous to say words of blame, so Hua Yueyu forcibly suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart, walked in front of Shen Xizhen, and said with encouragement: "Guang'an Hou, what should I do next?" With your ingenuity, you won't be intimidated by them, will you? ”

"Of course not, but it's obviously not a good time to make any impulsive choices, so give me a night to think about it."

Hua Yueyu and Liu Ming glanced at each other and nodded.

Shen Xizhen said nothing. I went back to my room.

In the face of such a big emergency, she had to try her best to come up with a solution.

Chu Zihou vaguely proposed two plans in the letter: one was to delay the time first, and let him eliminate Yan Hao's defense. One is to change the route.

But neither of these options is ideal—the more time you delay, the greater the danger for Chu Zihou. If you change the route, the chances of success will drop dramatically, or even predictably fail.

So she had to come up with a third or even a fourth option.

Liu Ming and Hua Yueyu knew that Shen Xizhen didn't like to be disturbed by others when he was thinking about things, so the two discussed it softly in the office.

"Anyway, it is impossible to retreat, so I can only find a way to rush forward." Liu Ming said, looking at Hua Yueyu's eyes full of apologies.

After all, after the other party is a country, he naturally has to act as a peacemaker at such a moment, he neither wants her to worry nor wants her to be angry with Shen Xizhen and Chu Zihou. After all, people are not as good as heaven, and no matter how precise the layout is, there will inevitably be omissions.

Hua Yueyu was originally a very knowledgeable person, so although he felt a little panicked in his heart, he didn't show it. said with a kind face: "Naturally, I just don't know if Guang'anhou can come up with a feasible way at such an urgent moment." ”

"Then let's help think about it." Liu Ming said busily.

Kazuki nodded.

"Why don't we let our soldiers change into the clothes of enemy soldiers and take them by surprise when they change shifts?" The Flower Moon Ballad mentions yì.

Liu Ming shook his head: "No, the shift change is actually a very fast process, and generally by the time it is time to change shifts, their handover personnel have already arrived." At that time, we simply had no way to take advantage of it. ”

Katsuki Yu felt that his analysis was reasonable. I moved on to other options.

Liu Ming also sat on one side and pondered.

However, the two thought about it for a long time and couldn't come up with an ideal solution.

At this time, the door opened, and Shen Xizhen walked in.

"I've figured it out." Shen Xizhen said to them, there was still not the slightest joy or anger in his expression, as if it was a very ordinary thing.

The two immediately looked at her with wide eyes, waiting for her to continue.

Shen Xizhen sat down slowly and said, "Use poison gas to add confusion. The soul is gone, but it moves quickly. And our soldiers will have to rush into the tunnel at that time to prevent our men from being hit. Poison. Our soldiers have to wear special masks. ”

That's a great way to do it! Not only did they not terminate the original plan, but they were also able to take advantage of it.

Hua Yueyu and Liu Ming suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lord Liu, please immediately arrange for someone to prepare the things I just mentioned, and they must be prepared within a day and a half." Shen Xizhen said.

"Yes." Liu Ming immediately received the order to do something.

There were Hua Yue Yu and Shen Xizhen left in the room, Hua Yue Yu witnessed Shen Xizhen's calmness and wit in dealing with emergencies for the first time, and her admiration for her immediately rose slowly, and she secretly decided that if it was done this time, after returning to the Xi Kingdom Palace, she would definitely praise Shen Xizhen in front of Emperor Guangxuan, so that Emperor Guangxuan could also slowly sweep away the previous shadow and look at this brother and daughter-in-law again.

Moreover, she must toast her with a glass of wine at that time, whether it is as a queen, sister-in-law or comrade-in-arms, she hopes to convey her heart to Shen Xizhen.

Shen Xizhen took a deep breath and sat down at the desk to write a letter to Chu Zihou.

After receiving Shen Xizhen's letter, Chu Zihou was in a good mood and drank two glasses of wine happily.

Then wait for the battle the day after tomorrow!

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and Chu Zihou couldn't help but feel nervous.

It stands to reason that he lives here and doesn't know anyone well, so how can anyone look for him?

With a little suspicion, Chu Zihou flashed to the door lightly, and looked out through the crack in the door - there was no one outside, but there was a letter at the door.

Chu Zihou didn't open the door and go out, but waited quietly for a while, making sure that no one passed by outside, and then he used the end of his sword to reach out from under the door and get the letter in little by little.

As a result, there was nothing in the letter but a drop of blood.

Chu Zihou was a little surprised, and when he looked at the blood closely, it felt like a big exclamation point.

Who did it? What is the purpose? Chu Zihou held the letter and kept thinking in his heart.

However, he thought about it for a long time and couldn't come up with the subtlety, so he was about to throw the letter away.

Not wanting to crumple it into a ball, he noticed that its front was as smooth as a layer of oil, so he immediately lit an oil lamp and looked at the letter in the light.

Sure enough, through the light, he saw a line of light golden words: "On the day of the attack, remember not to let the queen and the prince be close to Yan Hao, otherwise the situation will be strict!" ”

This handwriting seemed unfamiliar to him, and he didn't know who was so kind to remind him, the corners of Chu Zihou's mouth showed a faint smile. But at this moment, he didn't want to worry too much about the identity of the letter, and immediately began to make relevant arrangements according to the content of Shen Xizhen's letter, such as writing a letter to Yan Hao, asking him to come to the border early the day after tomorrow, and saying that 'Zhang Qiu' would come with the hostages he wanted at that time.
