Chapter 123
The bright morning sun slanted in through the open window and sprinkled on the spotless table top.

Shen Yuexi sat at the table, skillfully turning the brush with one hand, resting her chin on the other hand, looking at the roof and thinking hard.

What should I write in my letter to Xiao Zhuo?
The idea of ​​writing a letter came from something she saw in the morning.

Early in the morning, Mei Pu sent a messenger with his own handwritten letter to pass to his sister, Xianfei Mei Dai.

In ancient times, there were no convenient means of communication such as telephone and e-mail. Everyone wrote letters to communicate with relatives and friends far away.Ordinary people send letters, and the other side may only receive them in a month.For those like the prince and son of Xiliang, there are special people to deliver letters on horseback.

Shen Yuexi saw Mei Pu's messenger and realized that she hadn't heard about Xiao Zhuo for nearly a week.All my thoughts were on the captives of Xirong before, so now I should write a letter to Xiao Zhuo.

As for the Duke's Mansion in the capital city, they have already severed ties with her, so don't consider it.

Laying out paper, grinding ink... After a lot of work, I finally sat down at the table and began to think about what to write.

Xiao Zhuo should know the situation on her side, let's talk about it from the side first.

Of the two chickens raised at home, one was eaten by Mrs. Li, and the other was given to Mei Pu by Li Wan's soup.It's horrible, they haven't grown up yet, although two roosters can't lay eggs.She was so angry that two tears fell from the corner of her mouth.

It's just such a trivial matter, why let Xiao Zhuo know and change it.

Xiaogang Village is getting bigger and bigger, with a permanent population of nearly [-].The fields around the village are full of crops, and they are thriving.In addition, there is no war now, and Li is letting the villagers mine iron ore to make farm tools and sell them to Dongji Town, and the silver is rushing to Xiaogang Village.

She didn't make less money on this side.She was not at home this week, and the shopkeeper of the pharmacy in Dongji Town came to deliver the garlic capsules, a total of 100 taels.Mrs. Li said with a shy face that she was her elder and wanted to collect it on her behalf.Fortunately, the shopkeeper is not stupid and didn't give it to her.Aunt Sun across the street saw this with her own eyes, and it was absolutely true.

Mrs. Li is Xiao Zhuo's aunt after all, so don't speak ill of her.Xiao Zhuo can definitely see it.

Besides, these trivial matters are not suitable for writing in letters.As Xiao Zhuo's wife, she can't be too petty, she has to show some heroine spirit.

Then say something domineering in the letter.

Last night, the captives of Xirong had returned to the north safely under the escort of General Qiu.

Still not good, Xiao Zhuo is ruthless to the captives, and the two have different views, so he may not like to hear the news.If it doesn't work out, I will complain in my heart that she has changed [-] enemies, so it's better not to write this news.

She has started treatment for Mei Shizi's illness, and this morning, she went to the pharmacy in Dongji Town to see if there were any corresponding medicinal materials.On the way, take back the divided silver.

Maple is Xiao Zhuo's good friend.Xiao Zhuo would definitely like to see her treating Mei Pu.Just write this.

After thinking clearly, Shen Yuexi stopped turning the pen, sat upright, stretched out the pen and dipped ink into the inkstone.

She struggled again when the nib of the pen hung over the paper.

From birth to now, I have never written a letter in this primitive way.In addition, he has never practiced calligraphy, if Xiao Zhuo saw his handwriting, would he laugh?
After a little hesitation, she still made up her mind.Ugly is ugly, the key lies in the mind.

Lifting the pen, holding the sleeve of her right hand with her left hand, Shen Yuexi held her breath, and tremblingly wrote the words "A husband is like a face" on the white paper.

After writing the four words, sweat appeared on his forehead.She picked up the pen, soaked the sweat on her sleeve, and read the words she wrote.

These four characters are written tremblingly, twisted and twisted, and if they are more abstract, they can definitely be regarded as oracle bone inscriptions.

Shen Yuexi looked more and more angry, reached out and grabbed the paper, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it under the table.

If people saw this word, they would laugh out loud and throw it away quickly.

As soon as the courtyard door rang, there were footsteps running over, and Yang Cong's excited voice came from outside the door: "Madam, open the door quickly, there is good news."

Shen Yuexi quickly picked up the pen, pulled a piece of paper to draw an oval, and painted a few strokes on it.

"Come in, I'm already up."

Yang Cong pushed the door open and came in, raising the letter in his hand: "Madam, just now a sergeant came to our house on horseback, and asked me to hand this letter to... Hey, Madam, what are you doing?"

"Drawing," Shen Yuexi pouted at the paper on the table, "Isn't this, I drew... a crab."

"Wow...is this a crab?" Yang Cong bent down to look at the graffiti on the paper in surprise, "How can a crab have ten legs?"

"The special breed over there in the capital... hey, don't ask," Shen Yuexi stood up and reached out to snatch the letter held by Yang Cong. "What is this?"

"A letter from the young master. I just interrupted and didn't finish."

Shen Yuexi let out an ah, quickly pulled out the letter paper, opened it to have a look.

I haven't written a few words yet, Xiao Zhuo has already delivered the letter.This is a little embarrassing.

The words on the letter are flying like dragons and phoenixes, piercing through the back of the paper.Even a novice like her who has no appreciation for calligraphy can see that Xiao Zhuo's calligraphy is smooth and flowing, like everyone else.

Yang Cong was by the side, Shen Yuexi was too embarrassed to read, and read silently by herself.

Xiao Zhuo stated how he missed her at the beginning, and then described the situation of the war.

Xi Rong's [-] troops besieged Leshan, Xiao Zhuo did not lead the army directly to Leshan to rescue, but led the army to insert the main road between the enemy army and the rear supply of food and grass, cutting off the enemy's food road.

The Xirong army did not expect this strategy of his, and wanted to continue the siege of the city, so they only sent [-] cavalry to fight against Xiao Zhuo.Xiao Zhuo won three battles in a row in three days.Killed more than [-] enemy soldiers, with less than [-] casualties.It was only then that the enemy realized that their opponent was not Mei Pu, the prince's heir of Xiliang.

Knowing that their opponent was Xiao Zhuo, King Doma of Xirong paid special attention to it.Immediately relieve the siege of Leshan, and order the [-] troops to divide into four groups to encircle Xiao Zhuo.Seal off all possible escape routes for Xiao Zhuo.

Seeing this, Shen Yuexi couldn't help panicking.

The siege of Leshan has been lifted, and what Xiao Zhuo promised Mei Pu has been done.Now the opponent's army of [-] is going all around to arrest Xiao Zhuo, and it is not known whether he can escape safely.

She then looked down.

Xiao Zhuo couldn't return to Xiliang for the time being, so he led the cavalry into the Xirong territory, and used the mobility of the cavalry to throw off the enemy, so she didn't have to worry.

"Although this body is far away, this love will never change." This is the last sentence in the letter.

Shen Yuexi put down the letter and lowered her head in thought.

Xiao Zhuo is now surrounded by the Xirong army, but he is a cavalry soldier, so he doesn't have to worry about being caught up.He can write a letter to himself, explaining that the situation is not critical, and he can break out if he finds a gap.It's useless for her to be anxious here.

The most important thing right now is to go to Dongji Town as soon as possible to see if we can find medicinal materials for treating leprosy.

As long as Meipu's condition improves, he can persuade Xiliang King to send troops to help Xiao Zhuo.At the same time, the level of the Spike Pass here must also start to be built.In case the Xirong army came to attack here one day, there would be advanced weapons such as checkpoints and continuous crossbows.It can be achieved that one man is the gate and the other is not open.

Xiao Zhuo is fighting outside, so she can't just sit around and do nothing at home.

There is still a lot to do.
