Your father-in-law wrote the letter, put it in a bamboo tube and tied it to the pigeon's leg. Then he put the pigeon in his arms, took it to a place where no one was around, and let it fly.

The white dove fluttered its wings and flew into the sky, flying towards the north.

Your father-in-law looked up for a while, until the pigeons completely disappeared in the dusk, then turned back, had dinner with everyone and went into the tent to rest.

It was completely dark, and the camp gradually became quiet, with only a few bonfires and soldiers patrolling in shifts.

The lights in Chu Zhao's tent were still on, and she, who had slept in the carriage for a long time, was teaching Aao the art of war under the lamp with her half-dried hair.

The red silk paste is made with tea seeds and several kinds of flowers and herbs. The hair is smooth and smooth after washing, and has a light fragrance.

The wisps of fragrance mixed with the chirping of frogs and cicadas in the summer night made Aao a little absent-minded, and his eyes shifted to her face from time to time.

Her creamy complexion exudes a radiant luster under the warm yellow light, and her long eyelashes are elongated by the shadow of the light, like trembling butterfly wings.

The boy's Adam's apple rolled up and down and he bit his lower lip gently.

"Do you understand this part?" Chu Zhao pointed at Sun Tzu's Art of War in front of him and tilted his head to ask him.

Aao was agitated and shook his head subconsciously: "No, I can't see clearly because it's too far away."

"Then come closer." Chu Zhao reached out and gave him a hand without doubting the deceit.

A'ao was secretly happy and leaned towards her.

At this time, there was the sound of footsteps outside the tent, and General Xiao came in mysteriously.

"Princess, look, my marshal is great, isn't he?" He proudly took out a dove from his arms and walked to Chu Zhao.

It was the one that your father-in-law let go.

Chu Zhao suddenly became energetic, pushed Ao away and said, "I really caught him, bring it to me to see what he wrote."

A'ao's charming thoughts just appeared, but they were broken by General Xiao, and he was very depressed.

General Xiao took the bamboo tube from the pigeon's leg and handed it to Chu Zhao.

Chu Zhao took out the letter paper inside and opened it, and found that the letter recorded in detail how far they walked today, where they passed along the way, and what happened.

The most outrageous thing is that it clearly states what he said and how many bowls of rice he had eaten.

"This eunuch!"

Chu Zhao cursed, put the note on the lamp and lit it.

She knew that your father-in-law insisted on going with her just to supervise her, but the supervision was too detailed, making her feel like she was being peeked at without any clothes on.

Moreover, there is no title in this letter from beginning to end, and I don’t know who he is writing to.

Whose order did he serve as a supervisor?

What bastard is so free and pays attention to her daily life every day?

It is simply more careful than a son caring about his old mother.

What a filial son!

"Princess, what should I do with this pigeon?" General Xiao asked.

Chu Zhao blew away the ashes that fell on the table and said, "Bake it and give it to your father-in-law as a tooth-beating sacrifice!"

"Ah?" General Xiao touched the pigeon's head, a little reluctantly, "These pigeons are of a fine breed, much better than those of mine."

Chu Zhao looked at him, thought for a while and said, "Then keep it. Let it fly when we get to the capital and see whose home it flies to. It will just let me see which filial child cares about me so much."

"..." General Xiao couldn't help but laugh. The princess's mouth was such that she didn't even use curse words when swearing.

"Marshal Xiao did a good job, remember to reward him with two pieces of dried meat." Chu Zhao said.

General Xiao was proud of his marshal again: "Thank you for the compliment, Princess. The marshal can't finish the game he caught, so you should reward me with the dried meat!"

Chu Zhao chuckled: "Okay, I'll reward you."

General Xiao smiled and thanked her before retiring.

Since he and A'ao Yunqi lived in the same tent, Chu Zhao closed the book, yawned and said, "A'ao, go to sleep too, we will teach the rest of the class tomorrow."

"Yes." Ah Ao responded, stood up and left with General Xiao.

After leaving the camp, General Xiao hugged his neck affectionately: "Good brother, I also want to learn the art of war. Talk to the princess tomorrow and let me learn it too!"

Aao was stunned and rejected him without thinking: "Train your eagle well, the art of war is not suitable for you."

"Why, do you think I can't learn it?" General Xiao said unconvinced, "Don't underestimate me, I'm smart, and I will be a general in the future!"

"Hey!" Ah Ao curled his lips, "Anyway, it just won't work. It's already tiring for the princess to teach me. Don't cause any trouble to her."

General Xiao refused to give up: "Can't I just sit in and watch?"

"No!" Ah Ao glared and said, "Go to your sleep. If you keep nagging me, I'll beat you up."

"You are so stingy, the princess is not yours alone." General Xiao snorted and left with the pigeon in his arms.

Aao was stunned and turned to look at the accounting room behind him.

Just at this moment, Chu Zhao blew out the lamp inside.

The entire camp was shrouded in darkness, leaving only a deserted crescent moon hanging high in the sky surrounded by stars.

There is only one moon, and it does not belong to any single star.

There is only one princess, and she does not belong to him alone.

No, it never belonged to him.

The young man was stunned for a moment and silently returned to his tent.

Early the next morning, as soon as it dawned, the team broke camp and started on their way again.

Your father-in-law had no idea that his pigeon had fallen into the hands of his enemy. At dinner time, he wrote down Chu Zhao's movements that day and sent it away as usual.

In order to facilitate the communication of messages, they brought dozens of pigeons with them when they came. As long as nothing happened, they would be enough to send messages between him and Mr. Xiaoge until they returned to the capital.

However, as time went by, the pigeon he sent out never appeared on the window sill of Xiaoge Lao, and naturally it never flew back.

Marshal Xiao enjoyed catching pigeons every day, and all the dried meat Chu Zhao rewarded it went into General Xiao's stomach.

A few days later, Mr. Xiaoge, who had not received the letter, finally realized that something was wrong. Taking into account the speed of the team's march, he compiled a letter and rushed it to the Chief Secretary of Huguang via Junyi.

Because according to his estimation, when the letter arrived in Huguang, the Jingnan Army should also have arrived in Huguang. In this way, the officials of the Huguang Chief Secretary could forward the letter to your father-in-law to avoid being intercepted by Princess Jingnan.

Princess Jingnan is really someone who should not be underestimated!

I wonder what surprises are waiting for him later?

Compared with Mr. Xiaoge's close attention, Chu Zhao didn't care much about who the opponent was hiding behind.

It doesn't matter to her whether it's the Queen Mother, the big or small cabinet ministers, or other forces in the court.

Anyway, they will meet each other sooner or later, so there is no need to waste time on them now.

Moreover, after leaving Yunzhou, she heard from time to time that there were troops rising in a certain place, banditry was happening in a certain place, and more and more people were fleeing with their families on the road.

She was worried about the people, and she had no time to care about the grandsons who lived in Guangsha and drank the blood of the people but did not care about the lives of the people. She did not directly raise an army to rebel and invade the capital. This was the greatest kindness to those grandsons.

Of course, she didn't want to fight all the way, not because of those people, but because she was afraid that the people in the war would be even more displaced and miserable.

In the rise and fall of a dynasty, the people suffer the most. Back then, she and Xiao Chi fought hard for the people, and their temporary patience now is also for the people.

In troubled times, some people are the nightmare of the people, and some are the hope of the people.

If the people of this huge family and country don't have anyone to look forward to, the world will be dark for them, just like the sunset of the sun and the eternal night.

Therefore, her reign name is Xihe, and she is the sun goddess who brings light to the world.

No matter in her past life or this life, she will never abandon her people.

The Jingnan Army marched forward. Due to their large numbers and momentum, no bandits dared to block the road and rob. They had not yet encountered those teams that would rise up just by raising a banner.

Those people must have seen that they had strong soldiers and horses and were well prepared for war, so they did not dare to attack a stone with an egg.

That's fine, Chu Zhao thought, if she could spend the journey safely like this, she would be able to arrive in the capital earlier and meet the long-famous Xiaoge elder as soon as possible.
