Chu Jun also took a deep breath. Now that he had decided, there was nothing to hide.

She looked at Jiang Li, "No need to test, you guessed it right, I am not my brother Chu Junyi, but my sister Chu Junning."

She really hadn't spoken the name Chu Junning for a long time.

After using her brother's name for too long, she almost forgot her own name.

The first time she told this secret to others, she actually felt a secret pleasure and relief.

Jiang Li was not surprised at all, he just nodded and said, "So your real name is Chu Junning. It's a very good name."

Chu Jun also twitched his lips, "...thank you?"

She was not deceived by Jiang Li's harmless appearance, and she knew in her heart that what was coming next was the highlight.

Turning around and sitting back on the chair, she said in a deep voice, "Tell me, Princess Evergreen tried so hard to expose me and used my identity as a threat. What is her intention?"

Jiang Li said with a smile: "Actually, you should have guessed it, right?"

"Everyone understands, so I'll tell you the truth."

"I know that Mr. Chu has probably made some agreement with the emperor, and is here to keep an eye on us as his eyeliner."

"So what I want is actually very simple... As long as you know what to say and what not to say, and make it easier for me, I will naturally not cause trouble for you."

After a pause, she said to her seriously: "After all, I actually admire you very much."

"It has never been unconventional for a woman to be an official here, and in the future, I believe there will be many women who can become officials."

Chu Jun also glanced at Jiang Li more because of these last words.

Will many women be able to become officials in the future? It's really exciting to see that happen with your own eyes.

But, is this possible?

She shook her head and thought it was Jiang Li who was just talking nonsense.

Without worrying about these, she just said to Jiang Li: "I have indeed reached a deal with the emperor. I will help him keep an eye on you and Qin Jue. After the matter is over, I can be transferred back to the capital official to the third rank."

"But apart from the benefits, the emperor certainly won't trust me so much, so my parents and family far away in the capital are the bargaining chips in his hands."

"If I help you, and one day he realizes something is wrong, my whole family will die."

Chu Jun also stared at Jiang Li, "But if I take the initiative to confess my woman's identity, the emperor may not be lenient."

"Comparing the two, what do you think I would choose?"

Jiang Li smiled and said, "If I were you, I would definitely not choose to be honest and leave my destiny in the hands of others. Whether or not I can survive depends entirely on his mood."

"After all... Mr. Chu thinks and should know that I am not without foundation in Changchun."

"Even if you take the initiative to be honest, I still have plenty of ways to fan the flames and get the emperor to deal with it harshly. If I think about it, you won't be able to survive."

"As for the hostage issue you mentioned...you also said that the emperor will only touch them if he finds something is wrong."

"Then why don't we help you rescue the person before he realizes something is wrong?"

Chu Jun also frowned, "Why should I trust you?"

"Just...you don't have a choice."

Jiang Li looked at her with a smile, "Either believe me or die. How do you choose?"

Chu Junyi: "..."

She wanted to curse.

Does she even have a choice?

When she saw Jiang Li this time, she felt that this person was different from the one she had met before.

She was careful to guard against it, but in the end she was unable to guard against it.

Now that she was forced with no way out, it seemed that she really had no choice but to trust Jiang Li.

Perhaps from the beginning, my father was wrong in taking the risk of stealing from a dragon.

Helpless in his heart, Chu Jun also said, "Jiang Li, I don't care about partisanship. I just want to protect the safety of my family and the prosperity of my Chu family."

"If you can promise, I... can cooperate with you."

Chu Jun also softened his attitude, and Jiang Li naturally would not be stingy about giving him a sweet date at this time.

"Don't worry, my greatest advantage is that I can treat my own people well."

"I always keep my word when I promise to others."

As she said that, she stretched out her hand with a smile, "Then... Mr. Chu, let's have a happy cooperation!"

Chu Jun also looked at her for a long time, and finally extended his hand, "...Happy cooperation!"

Jiang Li was in a good mood on the way home, mainly because she won the bet she made with Qin Jue.

You can think carefully about what you want Qin Jue to promise you, of course you will be happy.

Jiang Li has been busy for several days and has arranged everything that needs to be arranged. Now he really has to wait for the opportunity.

After resting idle for a while, Jiang Li counted the days and found that almost a month had passed since Qin Jue went to the Lieyan Army camp. How about... going to have a look?

Well, it’s time to go check it out! After all, the Flame Army also had to prepare in advance for the war in two months.

With this thought, Jiang Li packed up his things decisively and took Lan Yin to Ningcheng again.

As a woman, it would definitely be inconvenient for her to live in the military.

So Jiang Li bought a house to live in when he arrived in Ningcheng, and took Lan Yin to the station outside the city early the next morning.

Because he sent the news in advance, Qin Jue also waited at the camp gate in advance.

From a distance, Jiang Li saw Qin Jue, who was wearing armor and standing upright at the gate.

Sure enough, the military camp is the best training place for people. No matter how hard he practiced before, he always lacked a bit of vigor.

But after only one stay in the military camp, his whole person was completely different.

There was a bit more chill in his body, and his eyes were firmer and sharper, like a sharp blade out of its sheath, full of edge.

Or maybe it's because after being apart for a month, it always feels more rare to see each other again.

So how does Jiang Li find Qin Jue pleasing to his eyes now?

"Ali!"

Qin Jue saw her and immediately walked a few steps to meet her. There was a smile on his face, and the sharp edge on his body also faded a lot.

This obedient look made Jiang Li couldn't help but reach out and touch his head.

"Miss me?"

She asked with a smile, still not serious, but it made Qin Jue feel friendly.

He...really missed her a little bit.

With soft eyes, Qin Jue said warmly, "I missed you. What about you? Do you miss me?"

Jiang Li did not hesitate, "Of course, I think about tea more than food. Didn't you notice that I lost weight?"

Qin Jue: "..."

I really haven’t found it yet.

Her exaggerated answer made him somewhat confused as to whether her words were true or false.

She always seems to be like this, she likes to hide her true emotions under various exaggerated performances, making it difficult for people to distinguish between true and false.

Qin Jue stretched out his hand towards her, "Let's go and see General Yang first, then go to my camp to have something to eat, and then I'll take you out for a walk."

Jiang Li looked at his beautiful hands, which now had a lot of calluses, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed... Tsk, these good hands were really blinded in vain.

She reluctantly looked away, stretched out her hand to hold him, and then asked, "Why do I have to go to your tent to eat something? You?"
