"Sir, this guy is sneaky and peeks into our army camp. My subordinates suspect that he must be doing this somewhere else!"

In the camp, a corps commander and two of his subordinates held a soldier tightly, making him unable to struggle away.

"Don't slander me. I'm just a messenger, just here to deliver a letter."

The suspect's words made Geng Wu interested. He stopped tapping his fingers on the table, raised his hand to signal the two of them to disperse, and asked him to stand up.

"You call yourself a messenger, so who asked you to deliver the letter, and who is the recipient?"

"This..." Because of Gao Lan's death order, the messenger did not dare to reveal it, and he did not say anything. Seeing this, Geng Wu would not waste time with him. He immediately slapped the table vigorously and shouted: "If you don't tell me,

, so he will be dealt with in detail, and he will be beaten with a stick and fifty large boards, and then five horses will cut his body into pieces. Come here! Pull him out and beat him hard!"

The messenger had seen this scene, and upon hearing such a death sentence, he immediately knelt down and begged for his life.

"If you want me to spare my life, you can provide evidence to prove that you are not a trickster."

"Sir, you can produce evidence, but please ask General Zhang He to come over. General Gao has made an explanation. This letter must be handed over to General Zhang He personally. Otherwise, he will be punished for dereliction of duty. I hope you will forgive me!"

"Boom!" Another sound of slamming on the table was heard, making the messenger tremble all over.

"Now is the time for me to doubt you, not for you to bargain with me! If you are wise, take it out quickly, otherwise, you will be left behind!"

As soon as Geng Wu shouted, the messenger immediately waved his hand to stop them from coming, then took out the letter from his chest and handed it over.

"That's right. Cooperate well with me and everything will be easy to talk about." Geng Wu looked at the letter with a smile like an old fox. After the content on the letter paper was printed in front of his eyes, the smile disappeared very quickly.

"Hmph! What a Gao Lan, how dare you have such an idea." Geng Wu, who could no longer sit down, stood up quickly and ordered to the corps commander: "Keep a close eye on this person. If he escapes, I will take the blame on you."

.”

"Promise! I will obey your military orders!"

Geng Wu, who knew Gao Lan's plot, dared to delay. He quickly entered the city and went straight to Han Fu's house...

"Gao Lan! You son of a bitch, how dare you betray me!" He growled and cursed, tore the secret letter in his hand into pieces, and stepped on the "corpse" several times.

After doing so much, Han Fu still couldn't calm down.

"Lord, don't be angry. Doing so will only reduce your wisdom and affect your judgment."

Faced with such a big matter, if someone else came to give advice, Han Fu would definitely scold that person, but since it was one of his confidants who gave the advice, he could still listen.

"Sir, you are right. I will restrain myself, but the situation is no longer optimistic. What should we do?"

"Now that Gao Lan has rebelled, he probably still doesn't know about Zhang He's absence. We now have to rely on this to implement a time lag strategy."

"Sir, please clarify."

"At this point, we must attack in advance. We have bribed all the guards at the South City Gate. We can let them open the door for our army, and let Yang Chou stay with Zhang Yang to find the right opportunity to kill him.

Finally, I need my lord to write a personal letter to Zhang He, saying that Zhang Yang is ambitious and wants to annex the soldiers of Jizhou. He is now in open war with the lord and asks him to quickly send his troops to return reinforcements."

"Okay, I'll write right now!" Han Fu didn't dare to delay. He opened the letter and was about to start writing, but then he raised his head and asked, "What if Zhang He also has a rebellious heart and doesn't want to come to help?"

"Then please lower your lord's stature, speak kindly to him, and then promise him glory, wealth, high officials and generous salaries. Anyway, write down any good words or good deeds, because I don't know what he wants..."

Regarding Min Chun's fill-in-the-blank suggestion, Han Fu felt his scalp numb. Then he thought about it and realized that the reason why he didn't know what he meant and didn't speak to him seemed to be his own fault.

[At this point, I can only take one step at a time...]

Just as the situation in Bingzhou was changing, Cai Yan, who was idle at home, carefully wiped an emerald green flute, put it in a box and stored it with great care, and then prepared to clean the "body" of the guzheng and restore it.

Before she could take action, there was a gentle knock on the door.

"Miss, are you there?"

"I'm here, what can I do?"

"In reply to my message, Miss, someone sent you a letter from the direction of Yangzhou."

When the servant announced his intention, Cai Yan unconsciously moved the corners of his mouth upwards, hurriedly put down the silk scarf in his hand, and went to open the door.

After receiving the letter, when I looked at the words "Ms. Cai Yan" written on the envelope, my smile was like a peach blossom, so beautiful, my eyes were as clear as blue waves, rippling with a touch of warmth, and the curvature of the corners of my mouth was as perfect as a crescent moon.

With that golden face, if she were called an angel, she would have directly raised the gold content of an angel to a whole new level, so much so that the servants across from her would be mesmerized by the sight and unable to extricate themselves.

[Ms. Cai Yan, seeing the letter feels like meeting you, and I am so happy when I open it. I have read past letters. I never thought that something like this would happen to me, so I am sending this letter. Firstly, I want to thank you for caring about me so much. Secondly,

I just want to ask if the lady who specifically informed me of this matter is in agreement with me. If the lady is so interested, please reply to me. After confirmation, within a year, I will definitely come to find you.

Wendu pays homage]

After reading the whole article silently in his heart, Cai Yan's cheeks slowly turned red. He held the letter tightly in his hand and said to himself with a hint of coquettishness: "We are in love, where does your confidence come from?

This lady never said that~"

The more she thought about it, the harder it was to hide her smile. Only now did she realize that the servant had been looking at her infatuatedly.

The servant on the opposite side looked at Cai Yan for a few seconds before he realized his gaffe. He hurriedly lowered his head and apologized to Cai Yan again: "You damn boy, I have offended the young lady. Please forgive me!"

"It's no harm. Just pay attention next time. But is the person who sent the letter still there?"

"Yes, yes, the lady told me last time that the messengers from the south should be kept for a while. I will always remember this."

Regarding his answer, Cai Yan nodded with satisfaction and said, "You stay here first and don't move around. I'll write a letter and you can hand it over to him later."

"The villain obeys your orders."

I don't know if it was because he was in a happy mood, but Cai Yan wrote much faster than usual. After a few strokes, he finished writing the reply.

…

"This is a reply. My lady has an order to deliver it to the sender by hand."

"Little understand."

Along with the letter, there was a money bag handed over. "This is what the lady rewards you, take it."

"Thank you! Thank you, miss! Thank you, brother!" The messenger stuffed the letter into his chest very carefully, threw the money bag into the horse's bag, turned over without any delay, waved his whip, and heard only a neighing sound.

He moved his hooves and ran towards the end of the street, passing by an oncoming young master and two servants.

"Brother, please wait a moment."

The man shouted to the servant who was about to close the door at the bottom of the steps to stop. After the servant saw the person clearly, he started to open the door and greeted: "It turns out to be Mr. Wei Zhongdao. I'm rude. Please be patient."

"It's okay, it's just a coincidence that I came here."

"I wonder why the young master came here today?"

After the servant asked, Wei Zhongdao pointed to the small wooden box held by the two servants behind him and explained: "I heard that Miss Cai occasionally felt cold and unwell, so I specially bought some good supplements and gave them to Miss Cai.

"

"Mr. Wei is interested. Please wait a moment. I will go and report to Miss."

"Please."

Following Wei Zhongdao's words, the servant ran away quickly. After basking in the sun for a while, the door behind him finally opened again.

"Master Wei, please come in."

"Thank you. Please help me lead the way."

"No problem, sir, please come with me." As he said that, the servant stretched out his left hand and made a "please" gesture. He waited for Wei Zhongdao's figure to appear in front of him before he started to take steps, following Wei Zhongdao's left hand.

A little behind.

On the way, Wei Zhongdao asked as if chatting: "Brother, who is the person who just rode away?"

"Sir, sir, that man is a messenger. He came here to deliver a letter to the lady."

"Oh?" Wei Zhongdao was very concerned when he heard that it was about Cai Yan. "Who sent it?"

"This little one doesn't know. The only thing he knows is that it was sent from the south."

[Southern? Does Wenji have any friends there?] He kept wondering in his mind, and kept tapping the fan in his hand. It was obvious that he was very concerned about this matter.

"What was Ms. Cai's reaction after she saw the letter? Was there any obvious change in her expression?"

"Yes, it's obvious that the lady was very excited after reading it, and her smile couldn't hide it at all." The servant recalled Cai Yan's reaction at that time, but he didn't want to bump into Wei Zhongdao in front of him, so he hurriedly shouted "please sir"

Please forgive me.”

However, Wei Zhongdao didn't care about his collision at all. His face was full of random thoughts as he stood there blankly, so much so that he didn't know when he reached his destination.

"I, Wei Zhongdao, please see Miss Cai Yan."

"Sir, please come in."

After getting permission, he sent the servant to stay outside, and walked in holding the two wooden boxes. When he saw Cai Yan's face, his eyes were shining.

"Young Master has come a long way, please sit down and taste my newly brewed tea."

Hearing the greeting, Wei Zhongdao brought his absent-minded thoughts back, "Never mind, I heard that the lady has a cold, so I thought of coming over to give you some supplements. They are not expensive, so please don't dislike it.

"

"Young Master is so worried about me, but I don't dare to do it."

After placing the wooden box on the table, he took a sip of tea and praised it profusely, which made Cai Yan feel a little embarrassed.

After chatting for a while, Wei Zhongdao hesitated for a moment, but he still couldn't hold it back and asked: "I bumped into the messenger when I came here. May I ask if this is a letter from my friend?"

When asked, Cai Yan blushed for a moment and replied that he was a good friend, but Wei Zhongdao felt a sting in his eyes.
