Rong Xiang helped Ye Xuemei to leave, and after walking out for a while, she couldn't help but ask, "Girl, is Concubine Liu really that bad?" ”

Ye Xuemei said indifferently: "What? Think I'm unreasonable? ”

"Of course not!" Rong Xiang eagerly denied it, "The slave maid just thinks that maybe Concubine Liu is not as bad as we think, otherwise she wouldn't have gone out of her way to relieve the girl today." ”

"That's where she's so smart." After that, a cold smile condensed on the corner of her lips, "Although Shi Fenglan is domineering and willful, she is like a spear, so that you can see clearly; But Gao Xueliu is different, she is an arrow hidden in the dark, and you have no idea who this arrow will shoot at. Even, when you are pierced through the chest by a sword, you don't know where the arrow came from. Remember, the person who hides the knife in her smile is always the most terrible, because you can't tell which of her words is true and which is false. ”

Rong Xiang let out a cold sweat when she heard this, and nodded again and again, "The slave and maid know, no matter what she says or does in the future, the slave and maid will never believe it." ”

A few people returned to the Ye Mansion, and as soon as they entered the door, Yuan Li greeted him and said softly: "Girl, Zhao Gongzi has been here for a while, and the villain invited him to the side hall." ”

The Zhao Gongzi in Yuan Li's mouth was Zhao Feng who borrowed the military book to Ye Xuemei in the Pearl Pavilion that day. Today has come to the three-day period they have agreed upon.

"Got it." Ye Xuemei responded and said to Rong Xiang: "You go to my study and get the half of the Art of War map." ”

"Wait." The prisoner called Rong Xiang and hesitated: "Girl, after the Art of War map is returned, I am afraid that it will not be easy to borrow it again, why don't you copy a copy first?" ”

Ye Xuemei smiled lightly: "No need, all the array diagram annotations have been engraved in my mind, and they can be recorded silently at any time, and the art of war diagram is useless to me." ”

After Rong Xiang left, the prisoner followed Ye Xuemei to the side hall. When Zhao Feng saw them coming in, he hurriedly got up and saluted, "I've seen Miss Ye." ”

Ye Xuemei bowed her knees and returned the salute, "Let Zhao Gongzi wait for a long time, Ye Xuemei really can't help it." ”

The moment the four eyes met, Zhao Feng heard the sound of himself gasping, and he couldn't take his eyes off for a long time. In the past 20 years, he has seen countless beauties, but until this moment, he knows what it means to be peerless. Those so-called beauties are just vulgar fans in front of her, and they can't be compared at all.

The prisoner's cough brought Zhao Feng back to his senses, but it was still difficult to hide the amazement in his eyes, "When I used to read books, I saw that the woman who wrote had the appearance of a sinking fish and a wild goose, and the appearance of a shy flower in the closed moon, I always felt that it was an exaggerated description. There really is such a captivating posture in the world. ”

For his praise, Ye Xuemei just smiled lightly, "The son is too famous, no matter how beautiful he is, it is just a skin, and after a hundred years, it will still return to the loess." ”

Zhao Feng smiled: "Having said that, beautiful things can always be pleasing to the eye. Then he added, "Fortunately! Fortunately! ”

Ye Xuemei frowned slightly, "Fortunately what?" ”

Zhao Feng took the tea that his subordinates had re-brewed, and replied with a smile: "Fortunately, I lent the Art of War diagram to Miss Ye, otherwise I wouldn't have seen the girl's heavenly appearance today." ”

"I should say that I am the one who is lucky, if it weren't for Zhao Gongzi's generosity, how could I have the honor to look at the long-lost art of war."

"Miss Ye is polite." Saying that, Zhao Feng said with some regret: "It's a pity that there is only half of it, and the other half of it doesn't know where it went." But don't worry, Miss Ye, I will definitely try to find it. ”

After Ye Xuemei heard this, she just smiled and did not speak.

At this time, Rong Xiang brought the Art of War map, Ye Xuemei personally handed it to Zhao Feng, and thanked him again, "Ye Xuemei owes Zhao Gongzi a favor, if Zhao Gongzi needs anything in the future, I will do my best!" ”

Zhao Zifeng took the book of the art of war and looked at her with a smile, "Miss Ye is serious?" ”

Ye Xuemei smiled slightly, "Although Ye Xuemei is a daughter, she also understands the truth of her words. ”

"Good! Deal! Zhao Feng laughed heartily.

After sitting down again, Zhao Feng looked at Ye Xuemei for a long time, and suddenly lowered his head and smiled. Ye Xuemei was quite strange, "What is Zhao Gongzi laughing at?" ”

Zhao Feng said: "I always thought that women only love fat powder beads, but I never thought that there were women who liked to read military books, and were even willing to spend thousands of dollars for it." If you don't see it with your own eyes, you won't believe what you say. ”

"Let Zhao Gongzi see it." After some politeness, the two talked about their opinions on the art of war, and they were surprisingly consistent with each other. Often Ye Xuemei just said half a sentence, Zhao Feng already understood what she was going to say in the second half of the sentence, and quickly followed her thinking, which surprised her.

Both Murong Yu and Gongliang Yuzhi have led troops to fight and kill the enemy in blood, but when it comes to the art of war, they are not as good as Zhao Feng.

Zhao Feng thought that it was rare to meet someone who could talk about the art of war with him, and he was on a par, the more he talked, the more excited he became, and his eyes lit up: "My Jiangning family has a lot of military books handed down by our ancestors, although they are not as precious as this art of war map, but they are all rare and high-quality products, and the girl will definitely like it when she sees it." ”

Ye Xuemei said regretfully: "It's a pity that it's far away in Jiangning and can't take a look." ”

"What's this, just let someone send it over." Without waiting for Ye Xuemei to speak, he had already called the little guy standing behind him, "You should hurry back to Jiangning immediately and get the military book I put in the study!" ”

Rong Xiang was stunned and said: "Jiangning is hundreds of miles away from here, and this time and again, I'm afraid it will take more than ten or twenty days." ”

The corners of Zhao Feng's eyes flew, and he said confidently: "Rushing day and night, coupled with thousands of miles of good horses, it is enough to go back and forth in six days." As he spoke, he took off the jade pendant he was carrying with him and handed it to the little servant as a token, "Go ahead." ”

Ye Xuemei didn't expect him to move so quickly, she couldn't stop it for a while, and shook her head and said: "Actually, it's nothing if you don't read those military books, Zhao Gongzi really doesn't have to work so hard." ”

"It's just a trip back and forth to Jiangning, and it can't be regarded as a labor force. I have been obsessed with the art of war book for more than ten years, but there has never been a day when I have been so happy as I am today. With that, he raised the teacup, "Replace the wine with tea, and toast Miss Ye with a cup!" ”

"Good!" Ye Xuemei was also very happy to meet this bosom friend, and was about to raise tea to drink, when she suddenly saw a small guy behind Zhao Feng leaning over and saying something in his ear, his face immediately changed.

Immediately afterwards, he didn't drink tea, put down the teacup, and said to Ye Xuemei: "Girl, there is an urgent matter in the next family, this time I have to sweep the girl's interest first, and wait until the future, after finding the art of war book, I will come to ask the girl for advice." With that, he got up and saluted Ye Xuemei, and then left in a hurry.

As the day of the expedition approached, more and more soldiers gathered. By the day of 18 February, the number of soldiers mobilized by the military department had reached 70,000, and the military defense battalion was also recruited into the army for this expedition, as Ye Xuemei expected. It is expected that the number of soldiers will reach 180,000 by the time of the expedition.
