Qin Li stood aside and couldn't help but speak when he saw his emperor's appearance.

"Your Majesty, I heard from the secret guard who sent the message that in the past half month, the empress has handled the government affairs of the court better and better. Even the morning court has been reopened. The courtiers report government affairs to the empress every day. Are you sure? Does your Majesty still have time and thought to do this for you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Li immediately received a strike from Xiao Jinzhi.

"What do you know? If you don't even have a sweetheart, naturally no one will write you a letter or make a pendant for you."

Xiao Jinzhi was obviously in a good mood. As he spoke, he took off his armor and hung the pendant around his waist.

Qin Li touched his nose. It was true that no one wrote to him, but...

He really didn't want to behave like an emperor who was away at war and had to take the time to write a letter of more than ten pages and send it back to the imperial city, while complaining that the letter written by his empress was too short.

After tying the pendant, Xiao Jinzhi washed his hands and dried them before unfolding the letter paper. He read it page by page and read it three times before folding it and carefully putting it on the table beside him. In the box.

"Your Majesty, is there nothing going on in the imperial city?" Qin Li asked.

Xiao Jinzhi shook his head, "No, everything is as usual. Yan Yan has also arranged for the follow-up food and supplies, which will be delivered in a while."

"That's great. Since we rushed to the border, the food and grass supplies have been delivered faster and faster each time." Qin Li paused for a moment, then changed the topic and said, "But I heard that there is a shortage of food and grass supplies in Beimo. situation, I don’t know if the problem has been solved now.”

Since the destruction of Jinyue City, although Beimo and their Tianyi reinforcements have temporarily withstood Danyue's offensive, there are always problems with food and grass. There is not enough food and grass, so it is inevitable to feel a little panicked when fighting.

Xiao Jinzhi's eyes fell on the map beside him.

"Send the order and seize the time to repair. Three days later, we will continue the attack."

"Your Majesty, do you want to conquer another city in one go?" Qin Li frowned.

Although Danyue did have a shortage of troops, they actually did not have much more troops.

The emperor only took five days to successfully attack the city this time, which must have caused panic in Danyue. Although their morale was strong, Danyue would also strengthen the defense of the city and resist desperately.

If the rest and recuperation is not enough, when the time comes to attack the city when the men and horses are exhausted, I am afraid that it will be too hard for the soldiers, and it will not be conducive to the attack.

"We don't have that much time. Now that we have one more day of rest, Danyue will be more prepared, but Beimo... may not be able to last that long." Xiao Jinzhi's tone was slightly condensed.

Qin Li was shocked, "Your Majesty, do you think Beimo will lose next?"

Xiao Jinzhi looked at Qin Li and did not answer, but asked: "Did the spies we sent to Danyue Imperial City to inquire about the news return to Huangfu Mausoleum?"

"No." Qin Li shook his head and then spoke again, "Your Majesty, are you worried that Huangfuling went to the Beimo battlefield in person?"

"This is just my guess. Our intention to attack Danyue is very obvious. We hope to force them to withdraw their troops and cease the war with Bei Mo. If Huangfu Ling is unwilling to give up Bei Mo, he will most likely choose to go there in person to speed up the fight. The progress of capturing Beimo."

Before Danyue is completely panicked, if he can go to several cities in Beimo, he can prove that his previous decision was correct, and those Danyue courtiers will not be so eager to mobilize troops to return to defense.

"So if Huangfuling really went to Beimo, then it's up to us to compete with him to see who is faster." Qin Li understood.

In this case, they really don't have much time to rest. If Huangfuling takes the lead and gets big benefits from Beimo again, they will definitely choose to pursue the victory. Then even if they can capture the city again, Failure to achieve their initial goals.

only……

"Your Majesty, what if Huangfuling's mausoleum didn't go to Beimo? This is just a guess after all."

If the emperor guessed wrong, Huangfuling did not go to Beimo. It was even possible that Huangfuling came to the border and was waiting for them in the next city.

Xiao Jinzhi frowned deeply, "So I set the time in three days. If Huangfu's mausoleum goes to Beimo, there should be news in these three days."

Two days later, everything in the city has been completely taken over, and the people of Danyue have been properly resettled.

At nightfall, a homing pigeon flew into the city.

"It turns out that Your Majesty was prepared for it." Qin Li handed the note to Xiao Jinzhi's hand.

Judging from the information on the note, Huangfuling Mausoleum indeed passed through the must-pass route to Beimo, and the emperor had already posted a secret sentinel along the way to convey the news.

Xiao Jinzhi looked at the words "Seven people from Huangfuling Mausoleum, rush to Beimo" on the note, "It seems that I guessed it right."

Qin Li thought about it and said: "Your Majesty, there are only seven people in Huangfuling's group. If there is an ambush halfway..."

"Since Huangfu Ling dares to go like this, it's not that easy to ambush him. Although I have set up secret sentries, we are short of manpower. If we attack rashly, we will lose our people in vain. As for Beimo..." Xiao Jin Zhi shook his head, "Now that Jinyue City is in Dan Yue's hands, even if Yun Chen and the others get the news and want to send people to ambush, I'm afraid they are powerless."

Qin Li took a deep breath, "Then it seems that the only way for us to speed up the attack is to attack the city."

Xiao Jinzhi said in a deep voice: "Send the order and let the soldiers have a good rest tonight. We will set off tomorrow."

The night breeze was as cold as water. Xiao Jinzhi stood on the corridor of the City Lord's Mansion and held the jade pendant around his waist.

The coolness spreads along the carved lines in the palm of the hand, extending to the fingertips bit by bit.

At this moment, in the palace, Yingrun's nails reflected the jade, which seemed to bring a bit of coolness. Chu Huanyan leaned against the window and looked at the jade pendant in her hand quietly.

This was carved by her own hands, and the tassel on it was secretly made up by her while Xiao Jinzhi was handling official duties.

I originally planned to give it to Xiao Jinzhi when he set off, but unexpectedly, Xiao Jinzhi left quietly.

Later, she thought that she would wait until Xiao Jinzhi came back before giving it to him. But after writing a reply to Xiao Jinzhi last time, she suddenly got an idea and stuffed another jade pendant into the envelope and sent it together. passed.

"Counting the time, Xiao Jinzhi should have received the letter." Chu Huanyan said to herself.

I just don’t know if Xiao Jinzhi can tell that he did it.

Chu Huanyan curled her lips subconsciously.

Xianyue walked over from the other side and found that her young lady was still standing outside the hall.

"Miss, you promised to go to bed right away, but you lied to me again."
