Seeing that his daughter's face had changed, Zhao Yuanxun quickly comforted her and said: "As long as there is a disaster outside the customs, people there will come to harass our border customs, and there will be some minor frictions every year. Our border customs officers are not vegetarians, and we have enough food and grass.

We are well-equipped and prepared. We don’t need to worry too much.”

Zhao Yuanxun came from a family of military generals. Although he was unable to take on important responsibilities due to physical reasons, he was still familiar with border matters. He had also read military books since he was a child. Even though he is now serving in Dali Temple, he still pays special attention to border information.

.

"But what if they robbed or burned the soldiers' food and grass?" Zhao Ruxi asked.

"No." Zhao Yuanxun said, "General Fu will not let people pile up grain and grass in one place, and will also send heavy troops to guard it. How can he let the enemy rob or burn it? This is a life-saving thing. Even if there is an emergency

, there must be support from nearby cities, and we won’t just wait for the imperial court to send people there.”

"Heavy snow has blocked the road. If we had really waited for grain and grass to be delivered from the capital, hundreds of thousands of border officers would have starved to death." He added.

Zhao Ruxi nodded, thoughtfully.

In my previous life, I didn't know how those people forced one hundred thousand soldiers into that situation.

After eating absentmindedly, she returned to Xiuzhuyuan. She originally wanted to write a letter to Xiao Lingyan, but after thinking about it, she gave up.

Xiao Lingyan was trained as a general together with Xiao Lingpu. They naturally knew what the situation was like at the border, and they had preparations and countermeasures. She asked in the letter, if Xiao Lingyan's reply fell into the hands of others, they met a

If someone can understand German, then she will really ruin Xiao Lingyan's big business.

Instead of worrying here, she might as well earn more points and get more information for Xiao Lingyan at the critical moment.

With this thought in mind, Zhao Ruxi picked up the pen and started practicing calligraphy again.

Her calligraphy has reached Master Mingcang's 80% success. You can earn 82 points by practicing one calligraphy. It is easier and faster to practice calligraphy than drawing, so she usually practices calligraphy when she has some free time. She has saved up enough to buy a calligraphy some time ago

After receiving the points for Kangfu Pills, I met Xiao Lingyan once and gave him the pills to take.

Now she still has more than 4,000 points, which is enough for asking for information.

Although Zhao Ruxi did not write to Xiao Lingyan, Xiao Lingyan took the initiative to write and told Zhao Ruxi about the situation at the border and briefly explained his arrangements.

Probably these things are more important and cannot be missed. He wrote this letter very carefully, using four foreign languages: German, French, Japanese and English alternately.

Zhao Ruxi immediately wrote him a reply and asked him not to tell her about the border affairs again.

This kind of thing, whether it is a letter or a dictation, as long as the message is conveyed, it may be leaked. If you want to be foolproof, try to keep it to yourself and only give instructions to your subordinates when necessary.

Anyway, she couldn't help Xiao Lingyan, whether it was the changes at the border or the factional struggles in the palace, so why should she have to know his arrangements to increase the risk of the secret being leaked?

She just needs to stay at home quietly, read, and wait for this political turmoil to end. As long as Xiao Lingyan is safe, nothing else matters.

She actually told Xiao Lingyan in her letter that if there was any information that she needed to check, just ask.

When Zhao Ruxi gave the letter to Wang Tong, Wang Tong bowed deeply to Zhao Ruxi: "Miss Zhao Wu, the political situation is tense now, and there are many people watching your Highness. The villain was originally a guard beside His Highness, and every move of the villain

It also attracted a lot of attention. In order not to bring danger to the girl, the person who delivers the letter to the girl in the future will not be a villain."

As he spoke, he put his fingers in his mouth and made a short and slight whistle. Then, a person jumped out of the window.

The man saluted Zhao Ruxi but said nothing.

Wang Tongtong: "His name is Wu Wei. He is the secret guard beside His Highness. He has never been seen in public. He will be the one who delivers messages to the girl from now on."

As he spoke, he motioned for Wu Wei to raise his head and give Zhao Ruxi and Qing Feng a look.

Wu Wei raised his head, revealing an ordinary face. This face had no features, and no one would notice it in a crowd. Even if someone had seen him, they would soon forget it after seeing it.

This kind of appearance is most suitable for being a secret guard.

"Wu Wei has seen the girl." Wu Wei saluted and jumped out of the window at Wang Tong's signal.

Wang Tong then said: "In order not to expose the girl's existence, His Highness asked the villain to tell the girl that if nothing happens next, he will not send you letters frequently. In special times, it is best to be careful. Please forgive me.

.”

"Okay, I understand. Just reassure him that as long as he is fine, nothing will happen to me here." Zhao Ruxi said.

She knew that Xiao Lingyan's arrangement was the wisest thing to do. Once her relationship with Xiao Lingyan was exposed and people knew that Xiao Lingyan had a special relationship with her, or simply knew that Xiao Lingyan was attracted to her, she would not only be in danger, but those people might also use her.

to threaten Xiao Lingyan.

By then, neither she nor Xiao Lingyan would be able to survive.

"If the girl has no other instructions, I will leave now." Wang Tong bowed his head and bowed.

Zhao Ruxi glanced at Qing Feng and saw that she also lowered her head and had no eye contact with Wang Tong. She could not say anything on Qing Feng's behalf, so she said to Wang Tong: "It's okay. You can go."

Wang Tong cupped his fists and jumped out of the window.

Qing Feng then raised his head and looked at the empty window with a confused expression.

"Has he ever expressed his feelings to you?" Zhao Ruxi asked.

Qing Feng was stunned for a moment, and his face suddenly turned red.

People say that things resemble their masters, and the same is true for servants.

When Qing Feng first started following Zhao Ruxi, she was relatively rigid and orthodox. But after following Zhao Ruxi for a long time, her personality also changed a lot.

Since Zhao Ruxi asked, she was not shy and said openly and honestly: "As he said. He said that if he is still alive and well by this time next year, he will come and ask the girl to marry me."

At this point, she ignored her shyness and asked worriedly: "Girl, why did he say that? Is it dangerous for His Highness?"

"Don't worry, it will be fine." Zhao Ruxi said, "We can't help. All we have to do is wait quietly and not cause trouble for them."

Qingfeng nodded.

In the next month, Xiao Lingyan did not send any more letters to Zhao Ruxi.

"Dad, didn't you say the border is dangerous? How is it now?" Zhao Ruxi had no choice but to ask Zhao Yuanxun.

Zhao Yuanxun shook his head: "I haven't heard any more news, so it should be okay." He comforted his daughter, "Don't worry, our Jin Dynasty has 200,000 troops stationed there, and foreign enemies are not worth mentioning to us."

The old lady is the wife of a military commander. When Duke Sui was here, she once led troops to fight in battles.
