"No, Changning told me that Ayou made a military order, saying that in the triumph, he would ask the emperor and the empress dowager for a grace." I am afraid that the palace has already drafted a decree and agreed to Qi Younian's request.

"What kind of grace does Ayou want to seek?" asked Master Ji Er.

"He did not say it in the memorial, but Changning believed that this grace was to marry her."

Ji Xiaotang's tone was plain, but Master Ji Er couldn't help but look at his daughter more.

"Empress Dowager, Your Majesty and the Princess have already recognized Ayou as their son-in-law. Ayou does not need such grace..., right?" Master Ji Er thought for a moment and thought of Ji Xiaotang.

"Ayou has a letter coming recently?" Mr. Ji Er asked Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang shook his head. The distance between Shuzhong and Jingzhong was more than a thousand miles. Qi Younian wanted to write letters often, but he could not do it. He could only use the opportunity to convey military information to send her a letter, such as Cheng Dazhong last time.

Thinking of this, Ji Xiaotang raised his head and faced Master Ji's thoughtful eyes.

Needless to say, the father and daughter came up with the same idea.

"Did Ayou know the news that the palace was going to be selected by a female official in Shuzhong?" Master Ji Er's guess is very likely. The prefectures and counties near Shuzhong should have received the intention to choose a female official in the palace. Qi Younian even didn't want to know such a sensational event.

"Ayou's memorial arrived yesterday. I went to the banquet today and haven't heard any news yet. I guess it was because the memorial was late. Xiaotang, please arrange someone to go to the back corner..."

If Qi Younian also beat someone and sent her a letter, then it should be delivered today.

Ji Xiaotang happened to think of this, and she did not avoid Master Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er, and immediately asked Jin'er to wait in the back corner gate. She also returned to Yanhua Hall herself.

Originally, there was one thing in her mind, but she had no time to take care of it at this moment. What she was more desperate to see was Qi Younian's messenger.

Qi Younian did not disappoint Ji Xiaotang. As soon as night fell, Jin'er brought in, which was Cheng Dazhong.

For such an important job, Qi Younian trusts most as his childhood playmate and loyal subordinate.

Cheng Dazhong's itinerary this time was more urgent than last time. He handed Ji Xiaotang a letter telling Ji Xiaotang that he was going to set off overnight and return to Shuzhong.

"The general is eager to hear the reply letter, and the war in Shu is about to come, so his subordinates must rush back as soon as possible."

Seeing that he was so anxious, Ji Xiaotang guessed that he must have not had a good meal. He asked Xiu'er to go to the kitchen himself to prepare a banquet for Cheng Dazhong, and asked Cheng Dazhong about Qi Younian's situation.

"You are in Shu, but have you heard about the choice of female officials in the palace?" Time is tight, and Cheng Dazhong is opposite, Ji Xiaotang doesn't beat around the bush, so he simply picks up the most important questions to ask.

"Yes." Cheng Dazhong nodded immediately.

"Oh, Ayou sent the memorial, it was after he knew the news."

"Yes." Cheng Dazhong's answer was more concise and neat. "The general heard the news and asked carefully. He returned to the tent and did not sleep all night. The next morning, he summoned the lieutenant general to go to the tent to discuss. After only half an hour of discussion, he took out the memorial and ordered his subordinates to send it to the capital."

The memorial was prepared in less than half an hour of discussion. Obviously, the memorial was drafted at night.

Ji Xiaotang no longer needs to ask other questions.

"Are you sure you can take Shuzhong in three months?"

"It's very difficult." Cheng Dazhong answered honestly, saying it was very difficult, but there was no fear on his face. He clenched his fist with one hand and pounded his left chest, "With the general's leadership, he will be invincible in the battle!"

"You think so, soldiers?" Ji Xiaotang couldn't help but smile.

"Yes, county lord." Cheng Dazhong replied, his eyes firm and his face full of pride. He was proud of Qi Younian.

Regardless of whether the opportunity for war is ripe now, at least Qi Younian has mastered the morale of the army and morale.

Xiu'er soon brought people and set up a banquet outside the curtain. Ji Xiaotang asked Cheng Dazhong to have dinner.

"Just wait until I read the letter, you will take the reply back."

Ji Xiaotang arranged for Cheng Dazhong to have dinner, and then he opened the letter he had been holding in his hand.

The letter looked up and was still the same word Tang. This time, Qi Younian's writing skills were a little heavier, not only about longing, but also about deep worries and anxiety.

Looking down, Ji Xiaotang couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Qi Younian's letter was written too short, so short that it was only a few words.

"Wait for me to come back."

With only these four words, Ji Xiaotang was stunned for a moment and fully understood the meaning of the four words Qi Younian.

Everything, as she expected, and as she feared.

However, it is impossible not to be moved.

Her general was going to accomplish the impossible, for her.
