He washed up, had meals, then read some poetry, burned incense and practiced... Even in the border town that was already in the war zone, Xiao Shufei's daily life and what she did every day seemed to be no different from that in Jiankang City.

Even the quiet courtyard where she lives is very elegantly decorated, and even the flowers and plants are according to her preferences.

However, since many days ago, when Chen Baowan or Qi Zhuji's letters could not be conveyed to her, she knew that after the incident of leaving the Chen family military advisor, her situation was completely different from before.

She knew very well that for her family, her greatest significance was not to exist as a practitioner, but to many times, she could become the basis for establishing a strong covenant.

In countless dynasties in the past, the marriage of many princesses was the most important means to win over power.

No matter how much her parents love her, they will not change this fact.

Moreover, she knew better than anyone that the biggest problem of her father Xiao Hong was not because of being stingy, but because he never disobeyed his royal brother, that is, the current Southern Emperor Xiao Yan.

In the eyes of all Southern Dynasties, the Southern Dynasties were of course the Southern Dynasties for everyone.

But in her father's eyes, the Southern Dynasty was of course his royal brother's Southern Dynasty.

Everything he did was not for the Southern Dynasties, but for maintaining the rule of his royal brother.

This is the most fundamental position.

Lin Yi was never on his choice list.

For him, Lin Yi's existence means that she has the possibility of disobeying him.

If she hadn't maintained absolute restraint, he would have not just sent someone to warn Lin Yi that day.

Now, for his father, what Lin Yi cannot tolerate the most is not Lin Wangbei's relationship, but Lin Yi and the Chen family are getting close to each other.

The power of the Chen family is awesome.

The Chen family was a powerful force that the Southern Dynasty had to rely on at this time, but was enough to pose a threat to the Xiao family.

So she knew very well that even though there was a war between the Southern Dynasties and the Northern Wei Dynasty that determined the fate of the two dynasties at this time, in his father's mind, the Chen family was probably the biggest threat.

If it is just based on the right or wrong of a certain thing, there may be a possibility of trying to advise and reverse it, but the fundamental problems caused by temperament and position cannot be changed in the slightest.

So when she returned to Jiankang City to say goodbye to Lin Yi and come to these border towns, even when she held the same recommendation book as Chen Baowan in her hand, her mood was very complicated.

She immediately thought that Lin Yi could live her life safely and happily, and not be influenced by this kind of war and conspiracy between the powerful, but she also had the girl's longing and hope in her heart.

She also thought Lin Yi could become strong enough to change her mind at home.

She has a hard time making a decision.

But in the end, Chen Baowan handed the recommendation letter to Lin Yi first.

She knew that Chen Baowan could not know what she thought, nor could she know that she wanted to do but was still making a difficult decision. The humble and weak Lin Yi was not worthy of becoming a pawn of the Chen family, so this could only be attributed to the will of heaven and fate, and had nothing to do with the battle between the Chen family and the Xiao family.

But all the developments that followed were not under her control and were contrary to her wishes.

Lin Yi shined in Meishan, became the general of the Tie Ce Army, and then became the leader of the Jiange... but he seemed to be moving further and further away from the Xiao family.

After Chen Jinru's incident, she almost cut off all sources of information from the outside world.

Now in the camp hundreds of miles away from her, even the low-level generals knew very well what was happening in Zhongli City at this time. Lin Yi, who knew that she was concerned, was fighting in Zhongli City at this time, and was blocking more than 100,000 Northern Wei troops like a mantis armed with a chariot, but she didn't know.

She doesn't even know whether Lin Yi is alive or dead now.

She couldn't even ask.

No one will tell her if she asks.

She never envied or jealous of others in the past.

But she lived a pampered life here but lived like the age of the year, but she couldn't help but envy Chen Baowan.

At least she has a brother who is very reassuring and respectful to her family, and she doesn't need to take on too many things.

As noon approached, a little maid walked into the quiet courtyard with a food box.

She didn't have many special requirements for food, so she didn't open the food box until a long time after the little maid left, wanting to eat something as casually as usual. However, when she saw some of the snacks in the food box, her brows frowned deeply.

Among these desserts is red bean cake.

Red bean cake may be the only pastry she doesn't like, because when she was young, a bribed servant tried to poison the Red bean cake and wanted to poison her and her mother.

She did not see the servant being killed with her own eyes, but she vaguely heard the screams of despair when the servant was killed.

The sound of death that was vaguely dying after being covered by his mouth and nose was heard very far away.

The food prepared for her was the trustworthy chef brought to Jiankang City, and it was impossible not to know her likes and dislikes.

This is absolutely impossible to appear in this food box.

She took a deep breath and felt something strange inside when her fingers fell on the piece of red bean cake.

She gently broke open the red bean cake and pulled out a roll of secret pieces inside.

When she saw the content recorded on this item and saw Lin Yi's name, her heart began to beat violently.

....

A big boat rides on the water.

On the deck, a man sat upright. He looked only six or seven years older than Lin Yi at most, but he looked serious and square, but he looked extremely calm and mature.

Opposite him, a girl in green was sitting, which was Chen Baowan, who occasionally felt jealous of Xiao Shufei.

"I can understand that if I don't withdraw the Mingwei army's military strength, but even General Du's troops have been pressed down... What does it mean?" Chen Baowan frowned deeply and asked at the man opposite her.

The man kept looking at her, and the more he looked, the more he felt moved.

Hearing her words, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, "My sister... I haven't seen you for several years, but when you meet, you just question your brother like this?"

"You and I can meet you as soon as I want to see you, but some people don't see you, but they may not be able to see you again." Chen Baowan looked at her brother Chen Baxian and said.

"To be honest, I can adjust the Mingwei border army anyway, but it is too sensitive at this time. I can't let the person on the dragon throne in Jiankang City think that our Chen family really ignores his will, so at this time, the only one who can mobilize the Mingwei border army is Xiao Hong."

Chen Baxian became serious and said, "But this is not the main reason. The key is that if the Golden Crow Cavalry obeyed my command, I would not even let the Golden Crow Cavalry go. In my father and I, before Wei Rui's army arrived, smashing any army to Zhongli City would only increase damage."

"That is, at this point, we must always consider maintaining the wings of the Chen family?" Chen Baowan sneered.

"It's not all, but I, like many people, feel that I must cooperate with Wei Rui to defeat Yang Dian's army at the lowest cost." Chen Baxian looked at Chen Baowan's angry eyes and said, "Sister, everyone's life is equally important. Your classmates are, and my subordinates are the same."

"You said it right."
