Thank you Long Yuanhai for the sachet of reward, Mo Da!

It was late at night, and everyone in the Hou Mansion had already fallen asleep except for Shen Xizhen, who had not yet slept.

She was sitting in her room and concentrating on her exercises.

It's what she does every day.

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves not far away, she immediately got up and walked towards the door.

"Master, are you going out?" The uncle who was squinting and resting, heard the footsteps and opened his eyes and asked.

"No, someone will come soon, I'll wait for him."

The uncle in charge of the door was stunned for a moment - who else would come at such a late hour? Is there something very important?

"Who's coming?" The uncle in charge of the door asked curiously.

"King Qingping." Happy.

"Oh." The gatekeeper nodded. I still wonder a little in my heart - why did King Qingping come at this time? Could it be...... No, no, no, the owner is not that kind of person.

"Toot toot." There was a knock on the door outside, and Hee Zhen went straight to open the door.

Chu Zihou appeared in front of her alone.

There was an anxious look on his face.

Xi Zhen knew that something heavy had happened.

Xi Zhen saluted him.

The uncle in charge of the door immediately helped him tie up his horse.

Xizhen and King Qingping walked on the path under the night.

Chu Zihou told her the contents of the letter from the monarch of the country of Qiu.

"You can't go, it's too dangerous." Chu Zihou said.

"I'm sure I'll have to go, but I promise you. I'll take care of myself. She smiled, as if it had been expected.

"But what if they put you under house arrest, hurt you, or threaten you? Although maybe not. But if that's the case, how can you resist it? Chu Zihou said with a worried face.

"Why did you forget I still have this?" Hee-jin said, pointing to his head.

"I know you're smart, but in a foreign country, how can you be reassured that no matter how many followers you have, you have to obey the orders of other people?" Chu Zihou held her hand and said. He was too worried that he would lose her.

"I'll plan a bit before I go, then. There will be a lot of people who will help me secretly. Xi Zhen replied calmly.

"How can I help?" Chu Zihou asked again.

"I will ask the emperor to send a few trustworthy people to serve there on the border of Qiuxi to receive the news that I sent from this side of the country, in addition. I will also ask him to send two teams of elite soldiers to be stationed there and wait for deployment. At that time, you and the emperor will be the first to know my situation in the country. ”

"So, the telescopic bridge is your deployment for this?"

"That's right."

Chu Zihou stretched out his hand and hugged her tightly. "That's still too dangerous," he said. ”

"At that time. The students who are sent to study in the country will also help me. ”

"So, you predicted it was going to happen in the spring? You've already got it in your pocket? Chu Zihou asked with a surprised face.

"Yes." Hee-jin smiled and nodded.

"Oh my God, you're so calm!" Chu Zihou said. Spring had already predicted this, but he was able to keep quiet, and he admired her so much.

"What you can't hide from has to be calmly faced, doesn't it? At that time, I will not only return safely, but also bring back ten or more cities to the Xi Kingdom. ”

Chu Zihou's eyes were straight. "Don't take too many risks. ”

"Rest assured, this is not an adventure. This is a response to the situation, depending on how sincere they are. ”

"You're saying -- there's a good chance they're going to be dishonest?"

"Well, there are worries."

"If they don't give their credibility, you're going to give them color, right?"

"That's nature."

Chu Zihou realized something, but he was not as worried as before.

"The emperor should announce your visit to the court early tomorrow morning, and talk about this matter with everyone, so you can enter the palace tomorrow morning."

"Uh-huh."

"At that time, hundreds of civil and military officials will provide opinions, and the 'National Talent Think Tank' will also provide opinions, and we can synthesize it."

"Uh-huh."

"Your body...... I'm so worried you won't be able to handle it. Chu Zihou looked at her with pity in his eyes and said.

At night, her face was as bright as moonlight, quiet and gentle, as if she was a fairy who did not eat fireworks in the world.

Such a woman should be cared for as a treasure. However, she was braver than a man in everything she did.

He looked at her fixedly, in a trance.

"Don't worry, if I'm really sick, I'll apply for a break."

"Okay, I know it's hard to change what you've decided in your heart, so I hope you're careful." He said, reaching out and touching her head, kissing her on the forehead with infinite pity.

He once said that he would always protect her from any harm, but now it seems that it is still difficult to do, because she is far braver and fearless than him.

"Go back, it's late at night." She looked at him tenderly.

"Tonight, let me stay with you all the time. We can sit in the pavilion in the courtyard until dawn, and you can sleep in my arms, and I just want to be with you a little longer. He pleaded.

Shen Xizhen shook his head and said, "No, it's cold and frosty outside, you better go back and rest." ”

Chu Zihou saw that she had a stern face, so he had to say, "Okay, then I'll send you back to the boudoir." ”

"Okay."

Escorting her to the door of the boudoir, he took his leave.

Early the next morning, Shen Xizhen entered the palace. As soon as I arrived at the Xiyi Museum, I was told that the emperor announced that you would go to court.

Xi Zhen immediately put the piano down and went to the Yamato Hall.

"Marquis of Guang'an, the monarch of the country of the ball wants to invite you to the country of the ball to be his national teacher, the period is one year, if the desired effect is achieved, as soon as the deadline is reached, he will be rewarded with ten cities." Emperor Guangzhao said as he asked someone to hand her the letter.

The civil and military officials had just learned about this from the mouth of Emperor Guangzhao, and everyone began to discuss it in a low voice.

After reading the letter. There was not the slightest panic on Shen Xizhen's face, and she handed the letter back to Emperor Guangzhao and said, "Your Majesty." The phrase "if the desired effect can be achieved" in this request is obviously a trap, and in order to seize the initiative, we must detail the effect they say in a certain field and a certain process. ”

"Indeed, this is obviously a letter of deception, thinking that we will lose our judgment because of those ten cities, and of course we will not be so easily circumvented into it, then. At the moment, we have to work out what we can do before we can plan for the next step. Emperor Guangzhao said.

"Judging from what the courtiers learned from the students who were sent to study in the country in the last session, the industry, agriculture, education, and other industries of the country have their advantages and disadvantages, and we can first discuss them one by one. I'll tell everybody where I can do it. Xizhen said.

"Good!" Emperor Guangzhao then asked someone to bring paper and pens, and also asked the person in charge of the database to bring the relevant information of the country and began to take it out one by one to discuss.

Two hours later, the results were discussed.

After the retreat from the dynasty. Emperor Guangzhao and Shen Xizhen took out the results of this discussion and discussed it with the members of the 'National Talent Think Tank'.

Ultimately. Combined with the projects that Xizhen can do, make a plan.

On the same day, Emperor Guangzhao sent this plan to the country with a reply.

Next, it's time to wait for their reply.

This time, the people of Xi were not uneasy.

Because, if the monarch of the country agrees to the contents of this plan, she will go to the country of the ball. If the monarch of the country does not agree, then the country of Xi also grasps the initiative, and is not afraid that the other party will make trouble unreasonably.

…………………

"Your Majesty. The courtiers asked to follow Li Changsheng as an entourage, in addition. Anyone else who follows, please allow me to pick with you. ”

"Yes, Li Changsheng doesn't have any plans to send an envoy recently." Emperor Guangzhao agreed.

"Okay. The courtiers will also find three of my secret assistants from among the members sent to study in the country this year, and we will complete this task together. ”

"Well, have you looked for these three people?"

"It's been found."

Emperor Guangzhao looked surprised: "So, you have been prepared as early as spring?" ”

"Hmm."

"You're amazing!" Emperor Guangzhao said convincingly.

"The courtiers have already taught them the art of disguise in their tips, and when they send the information to the connectors at the Qiuxi border, they will be disguised as two old men."

"Uh-huh."

"So please send a few trustworthy people over there to answer so that the information can reach you quickly and safely."

"Okay."

"In addition, please also ask the emperor to send two teams of elite soldiers to be stationed there, with a number of 10,000 to 15,000, in case of emergency deployment."

"You're worried about war?" Emperor Guangzhao hurriedly asked.

"That's a possibility that needs to be taken into account."

"Okay, I'll put it in place."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Seven days later, Xi received a reply from the monarch of the Globe Kingdom, appreciating that he had agreed to their request.

They said that they would send people to the Qiuxi border at noon that day to greet Shen Xizhen and his entourage.

Although she was very reluctant, she remembered that what Xi Zhen was doing this time was a meaningful thing, so Du Qiniang and Ji Yuelian did not particularly object, and carefully prepared the luggage for her to travel.

On the day before the envoy, Xi Zhen said to Emperor Guangzhao: "Your Majesty, because the courtiers are going to be on an envoy for a year, the old mother is not in good health, and the sister-in-law needs to take care of the nephew, I implore the emperor to allow the eldest brother of the courtiers to be sent back, so that he can take care of the family and avoid the worries of the courtiers." ”

"Okay, the day before yesterday, I have already issued an order to go to various borders to implement this matter, and I will solve your brother's matter first."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xizhen was immediately relieved.

"Your envoy this time not only represents Xi but also related to the peace and development of the two countries, and the task is arduous, and I hope to live up to expectations."

"The courtiers must do their best." (To be continued......)
