At night, she was woken up by the crackling sound of the candlelight. The tent she was in was relatively quiet, but she went to bed early and didn't eat, so she woke up. She saw Xiao Jue in her tent, still looking at the military map. He was so serious that he didn't even notice that she woke up.

He frowned, and looked at the picture again and again, as if he was puzzled. This bastard's appearance was impeccable, but his actions were really annoying. Since he had figured it out before going to bed, he didn't bother to care. As a general stationed here, and as a member of the royal family of the dynasty, he was also striving for the greatest interests of his people. As long as he got everything done here, he would find a reason to let himself go back, and he could fight the rest of the battle himself! But seeing the bloodshot in his eyes...

"Why are you here?" Wen Jiu asked him

"Oh, I'm busy now. I saw you didn't eat, so I came to see you. It's already been here. I asked someone to get you something to eat. The food in the military camp is definitely not very good, so you better hold on." Xiao Jue looked at her with a guilty look on his face.

"When I was in the mountains, sometimes I had no food to eat. I can endure the hardship. Go back and rest! After all, we are not married yet. Living in the same tent will definitely cause criticism. You don't want the people from the capital to go back and tell the emperor that we are tired of each other, right?"

"I know. I saw that you were angry today, so I came here to sincerely apologize to you. I gave the picture you drew to Ziyuan and asked her to supervise the construction. So from tomorrow on, we will act like we were in Beijing. I came here to tell you in advance."

"I know. I think the same as you about this matter. No need to apologize. Go back and rest. Let me advise you that if there is a lieutenant you trust in the army, you might as well let go. There is no need to do small things yourself. You must first take care of your health. Once your health collapses, the rest of the people will be leaderless and will be like headless flies running around in a panic."

"I...I know. I just went through a cleanup of the military camp not long ago. Now many things have been dealt with. I will consider your opinion. Then I will ask someone to get you some food. I will go back to rest. I still have to deal with the people from the capital tomorrow." Xiao Jue asked someone to bring food and prepared to pack up his things and leave.

"What were you looking at just now?" Wen Jiu interrupted him

"Oh, it's just that there is a terrain that I haven't been to yet. If the war breaks out from here, the damage will be immeasurable." Xiao Jue pointed to a series of canyons that were easy to defend but difficult to attack. It would be almost impossible to break through there.

"This place is not advantageous. There are many valleys and only one road leading to it. Once you enter, you will definitely die," Wen Jiu looked at the rugged valley and thought.

Xiao Jue looked at her and she was still analyzing the situation for him. Although she was vindictive, she was also broad-minded, which was enough to make him look at her differently.

"It's not that it can't be conquered. It just depends on whether God will help you on the day the war starts. If God will help you, I guarantee you can conquer this barrier."

Xiao Jue looked at Wen Jiu's determined eyes and asked, "What is God's will?"

Wen Jiu pointed to the valley on the map and said, "It looks like this place is easy to defend but difficult to attack, but in fact, it is not necessarily the case as long as we make good use of it."

"use?"

"At this location, and here, as long as the northwest wind blows, we can use the kite to destroy them one by one."

"Kite?"

"Well, it's a large kite that people can ride on. The people sent up must be elite. We need to build a kite that can carry three people. Just a dozen kites will be enough."

Xiao Jue looked at her. How did she come up with this idea in such a short time? He had been thinking hard for so many days, but she saw through it in just a moment. She really had some ideas, which he had not expected.

"Also, don't try to provoke a war with the Nanman before that. Without weapons, they can only retreat this far. When the time comes, you need to prepare everything you need so that you can deliver a fatal blow."

"I understand," Xiao Jue said to her seriously, and then asked, "How did you come up with these ideas?"

"You don't have to worry about this. Just remember that I'm still in Xiaoxiang. We are on the same boat, right? I can still tell the difference now. I just hope that the prince will write to me and let me return to Beijing."

"Um"

At this time, Bai Zhi brought the food. It was not as good as eating outside, but not so bad that it was hard to swallow. Xiao Jue watched her eat it without any disgust, and poured her a cup of tea. "Then you finish eating and take a rest. I'm going back."

"Yeah," Wenjiu responded without looking up.

After Xiao Jue left, Bai Zhi spoke, "Miss, will the people from the capital arrive tomorrow?"

"Yes, so we should try to keep our distance from Xiao Jue. We don't know what the Chu family's attitude is, so we should be careful about everything."

"Yes, miss, you don't want to eat anymore?"

"I'm full. Take it away! Let Xuan Ling come in. I have something to ask her."

"Yes." Bai Zhi packed up and took it out, calling Xuan Ling in.

"Miss called me?" Xuan Ling asked

"Xuan Ling, when you stopped me from talking today, did you find out that someone was watching you? Do you know who it is?" Wen Jiu asked her.

"Uh... no one is watching us." Xuan Ling didn't know how to start. If she said it, the young lady would definitely believe her. If Miss Zhao was a good person, would her words arouse the young lady's suspicion?

"What about you?" Wen Jiu looked at her as she hesitated to speak, and looked at her without saying a word.

"Oh, Miss, I... I just think Miss Zhao is not simple. The prefect seems to be afraid of Miss Zhao, not you. I should be right." Xuan Ling still said it. After all, the safety of the lady is the most important.

"You said Lord Lu is afraid of Keke?" Wen Jiu clenched the book in his hand...

"So you are afraid of whose spy Coco is, so..." Wen Jiu continued to ask

"Yes, if it is found out that Miss Zhao is not someone's spy, I will personally apologize at that time, but I still think Miss should be a little vigilant."

Wenjiu didn't say anything, he seemed to be thinking about something!

"Xuan Ling has crossed the line." Xuan Ling knelt down, Wen Jiu immediately dropped the book in his hand, stood up and helped her up. "Why are you kneeling? If I don't believe you, who else can you believe? We have experienced hardships that others have not experienced, silly girl." After saying that, he scratched her nose.

"I know about this. Send a message to Xuan Ying. He should not have left yet. Ask him to find out whether Lord Lu has any contact with Ke Ke. Before he leaves, also... check... who the Zhao family is loyal to? Are they involved in the old man's affairs?"

"Yes"

"Remember to keep it secret. Xiaoxiang is full of hidden talents. Tomorrow, when the Chu family arrives, it will be as lively as the capital." Wen Jiu stopped Xuan Ling who was about to leave.

"Don't worry, miss. I will be careful. Miss, take a rest too." Xuan Ling said and went out.

Zhao family, Zhao Keke, will you be my enemy?
