Xiao Jun's mind was full of questions, but he still obediently sat opposite Tian Rumo as he was told.

Tian Ruomo smiled and introduced the two children next to her, "They are Ye Qiaoling and Zhou Erxi, my new apprentices. They used to be tea boys in a teahouse. They are very good at making tea."

“Try the tea they make!”

The two men bowed slightly to Xiao Jun, and Ye Qiaoling respectfully placed a small cup of fragrant tea in front of Xiao Jun.

Tian Ruomo raised her little hand and said, "Take off the mask and test this kid's craftsmanship!"

Xiao Jun was stunned for a moment, then looked up at the Qingshan army more than twenty feet behind Tian Rumo, who seemed ready to charge over at any time.

He turned his head again and looked behind him. The Red Flag Army led by Du Hu and others were also ready to charge at any time.

He finally took off the ghost mask on his face, put it on the corner of the table next to him, picked up the cup of tea, put it to his mouth and took a sip.

The moment he took off the ghost mask, the Qingshan Army members did not recognize Xiao Jun, but the ordinary soldiers of the Red Flag Army were already in an uproar.

Didn’t they say that the coach led them here for a surprise attack?

Why did the person who should have been the commander-in-chief Xiao Yan become the military advisor?

This incident was as shocking as seeing Tian Rumo actually appear here.

Tian Ruomo smiled faintly, "You don't have makeup on?"

Tian Ruomo remembered that Xiao Jun once said that he would dress up as Xiao Yan on the battlefield.

Xiao Jun shook his head and stopped signing, instead speaking in a low voice.

"When wearing a mask, there is no need to put on makeup. I will only put on makeup to look like my brother when I have to show my true appearance and he can't handle the situation."

"In fact, those cosmetics make the face very uncomfortable. I won't let people put on makeup unless it's necessary!"

"That's true!"

Tian Ruomo agreed and said, "Those cosmetics and powders can really damage the skin. Some people can't adapt to them and may even get rashes."

Xiao Jun nodded slightly, picked up the second cup of tea, drank it bit by bit, and raised his eyelids, "Ruo Mo, why... are you here?"

Tian Ruomo smiled and told the story of how she became the leader of the Qingshan Army, and then went to Emperor Jin Ming to talk about the Shanhai Province, but was rejected by the emperor. The two had a falling out. In anger, Tian Ruomo returned to Shanhai Province, led the Qingshan Army, and told the whole story of how she wiped out Yang Liu and others.

Xiao Jun had been on a forced march and had not been able to maintain contact with the rear, so he really knew nothing.

Hearing this, Xiao Jun frowned deeply.

Tian Rumo's smile didn't change at all. She drank her tea slowly and nonchalantly.

"Not only am I good at medicine and martial arts, in fact, I also know some magic skills, and I can get from the capital to Shanhai Province within an hour."

Xiao Jun's eyes widened instantly and he looked at Tian Rumo in disbelief.

Then he lowered his head and didn't speak for a long time.

At this moment, his mood was extremely complicated.

Tian Ruomo didn't listen to his inner voice, but looked at him with interest, "Xiao Jun, do you think I am very different from the previous Tian Ruomo?"

Xiao Jun picked up a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp. It was fragrant but bitter, and bitter but sweet. As if he was giving himself courage, he looked at Tian Rumo seriously.

"You are not her!"

Oh?

Tian Ruomo was stunned for a moment, "You know?"

Xiao Jun sighed, "I know!"

Tian Ruomo became curious, "How did you know?"

Xiao Jun looked at Tian Ruomo calmly and said, "That day, when you beat the second brother away, I became suspicious!"

This time, it was Tian Rumo's turn to be surprised!

Xiao Jun explained, "You don't know the relationship between me and her. I know everything about her. If her martial arts skills are really that good, she would not be able to hide it from me no matter what."

"Later, you said you wanted to divorce your second brother. Just based on this, I am sure that you can't be her!"

He looked somewhat lonely. "Ruomo's obsession with the Second Prince is such that she has completely lost herself. After she married into the Qi Palace, she sent me a letter of breaking off our friendship in order to avoid rumors and gossip."

"I hope we won't meet in public unless it's necessary, and we won't exchange any letters. She wants to devote all her heart to pleasing the Second Prince!"

"She said that this was the only joy in her life. If she couldn't win the heart of the Second Prince, her life would have no meaning at all."

"Once she sets her mind on something, she will fight to the end!"

"It's just that I still have a glimmer of hope in my heart, and I haven't fully confirmed it."

"Now that I see you in Shanhai Province, I can no longer deceive myself. You are definitely not her!"

Tian Ruomo looked at the handsome face in front of her with great appreciation, "Very good, now you know I am not her. Now, I am the leader of the Qingshan Army, a bandit army that betrayed the court, and you are the one sent by the court to wipe out the Qingshan Army."

"What are you going to do?"

Xiao Jun took a deep breath, "Ruo Mo, tell me, where did she go?"

"Did you kill her?"

Tian Ruomo shook her head, "She is indeed dead, but I didn't kill her. She was whipped to death by Concubine Hu from Prince Qi's mansion."

"My soul just happened to come back to life by attaching itself to her body when she died."

"Her death has nothing to do with me!"

Xiao Jun finally heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. It was good that she didn't kill him. This way, he didn't need to feel any guilt towards her, nor would he feel that he owed her anything.

Because he even lost his life once for her.

Your life now belongs to Tian Rumo in front of you.

He looked at Tian Ruomo softly, "Don't worry, the Red Flag Army will not attack the Qingshan Army. Father must have known that you have become the new leader of the Qingshan Army and are in control of the entire Shanhai Province."

"You hold the method of refining father's life-saving medicine in your hands. He will never think of breaking up with you. He will first use gentle means, such as recruiting Qingshan Army, to make you change your mind and continue to provide him with good medicine."

"So, the imperial edict that prevents me from attacking Shanhai Province must be on the way here."

"We just need to wait a few days and the Red Flag Army will be able to withdraw!"

Tian Ruomo smiled jokingly, "Could it be that he is sure that I will agree to recruit the Qingshan Army and let them surrender to the imperial court, instead of taking advantage of the current momentum of the Qingshan Army to continue attacking the surrounding provinces and eventually fight their way to the capital and bring him down?"

Xiao Jun still had a calm expression, taking a sip of tea from time to time, and said softly, "You and I are both people who love the people. You certainly can't bear to see the people suffer and be devastated by the war."

"The reason you had a falling out with your father this time was to save the people of Shanhai Province, not for your own ambitions."

"So, you will make peace with Father!"

Tian Rumo and Xiao Jun looked at each other for a moment and couldn't help laughing.

She gave Xiao Jun a thumbs up and said, "Xiao Jun, you are so smart, and your eyes are quite venomous when you look at people."

"You are right. I will make peace with him, but peace is conditional. It is not only conditional on him, but also on you!"
