Chapter 45 Letter (Please collect! Please vote! Please invest!)

"Master, am I here at the wrong time..."

Looking at Pei Zhixiu who was leaving, Ye Tie, who was holding the medicine, was a little overwhelmed. After a while, he said apologetically:

"It has nothing to do with you!"

Ye Mingsheng waved his hand, then took the medicine from Ye Tie's hand and took small sips of the extremely bitter medicine into his stomach.

After drinking the medicine, Ye Mingsheng looked at Ye Tie, thought for a while and asked in confusion: "What happened after I fell asleep?"

"Young Master, don't you remember?" Ye Tie seemed to recall something when he heard this, and his expression became a little strange.

"Say it!"

Looking at this guy's constipated expression, Ye Mingsheng said irritably:
“Master, after you fell asleep, Miss Pei asked me to move you to the bed, wanting you to have a good rest. But after you lay on the bed, you grabbed Miss Pei’s thigh and refused to let go. Miss Pei had no choice but to accompany you…” Ye Tie explained everything in detail:

After understanding the whole cause and effect, the expression on Ye Mingsheng's face became very interesting. Seeing this, Ye Tie, who was familiar with Ye Mingsheng's character, tactfully stepped back and did his work.

After a moment, Ye Mingsheng made up his mind and walked into Pei Zhixiu's tent.

Pei Zhixiu did not seem to have any emotion about Ye Mingsheng's arrival. She was still concentrating on fiddling with the herbs in her hands. She just said to Ye Mingsheng calmly:
"General Ye, what's the matter?"

Pei Zhixiu's cold attitude was like a basin of ice-cold water, which immediately extinguished all the ridiculous words in Ye Mingsheng's heart.

Ye Mingsheng opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but the words were stuck in his mouth and he couldn't say anything...
Pei Zhixiu froze in place for a minute, fiddling with the herbs, and said softly, "General Ye, if you have nothing to do, I will make the medicine."

Pei Zhixiu's order to expel him immediately made Ye Mingsheng feel hopeless. He didn't know why Pei Zhixiu suddenly became so cold towards him.

After looking at Pei Zhixiu deeply, Ye Mingsheng did not show any reluctance to leave. He turned around and walked out of the woman's tent without saying a word.

Pei Zhixiu remained indifferent to Ye Mingsheng's departure until Ye Mingsheng's figure completely disappeared outside the tent.

Pei Zhixiu finally couldn't hold on any longer. Her jade hands holding the herbs trembled constantly. Her cold eyes were also covered with a layer of mist. Soon, two lines of clear tears crossed her fair and delicate face and fell to the ground.

Ye Mingsheng, who had been turned down by Pei Zhixiu, did not have time to become depressed before he received a letter.

A letter shot into the city from outside the city with an arrow!
Ye Mingsheng was surprised to receive this letter, but what surprised him even more was the content of the letter and the person who wrote it to him!

After carefully scanning every word on the letter, Ye Mingsheng, who was somewhat unbelievable, looked at Liu Shilin who was sitting next to him and asked, "Is this letter really written by Jiang Shouye?"

Facing Ye Mingsheng's question, Liu Shilin smiled bitterly, nodded and said, "This letter is indeed a bit strange, but I have asked the palace officials in the city who are familiar with Jiang Shouye to look at it. There is no problem with the handwriting. It is indeed written by Jiang Shouye himself, and the seal on it is also his personal seal!"

After getting the answer, Ye Mingsheng's face showed a hint of doubt. He pondered for a moment and continued to ask, "If I remember correctly, Brother Liu, you told me that Jiang Shouye's mother is a member of the royal family of Li in Gongdu. So Jiang Shouye also has royal blood and is loyal to the royal family of Li..."

When Liu Shilin heard this, his face became even more bitter. He shook his head helplessly and said:

"What I said is indeed true. Judging from his past performance, Jiang Shouye is indeed very loyal to the Lee royal family. He has always wanted to marry his fourteen-year-old daughter to the crown prince Lee Hyun-chang. If it weren't for Park Sung-tae's rebellion, this might have already happened."

"Now I really don't understand why Park Sung-tae suddenly wrote this letter to surrender to you, Brother Ye, and asked you to go out of the city to annihilate the Gongdu army outside the city."

After listening to Liu Shilin's explanation, Ye Mingsheng pondered for a moment and said slowly;
"There must be something fishy going on when things are out of the ordinary. It seems that Lord Jiang Shouye is planning to teach me, Ye, a lesson!"

"Brother Ye, are you saying that he wants to... feign surrender?"

Realizing the meaning of Ye Mingsheng's words, Liu Shilin's expression changed, and he immediately asked back:
Ye Mingsheng nodded and said in a deep voice: "Besides this, I can't think of any more reliable answer."

Liu Shilin thought about the possibility raised by Ye Mingsheng for a while and felt that it made sense. He then continued to ask: "What are you going to do next?"

"To cope with ever-changing circumstances, Jiang Shouye's goal is most likely to lure us out of the city and then use his superior military strength to annihilate us."

"For such a treacherous plot, we don't need to do anything. We just need to defend the city firmly and not let him take any chances. Once the reinforcements arrive, these evil spirits will naturally be wiped out!" Ye Mingsheng said confidently:
Liu Shilin nodded repeatedly as he listened and thought this was a great plan. Just when the two were about to end the meeting, Chen Yannian, who was guarding the city wall, walked into Ye Mingsheng's tent with a happy look on his face.

Seeing Chen Yannian, who was always serious and stern, now smiling, Ye Mingsheng asked curiously:

"Master Chen, do you have any good news?

When Chen Yannian heard the question, he did not keep it a secret and immediately said, "Sir, the scouts you sent out have returned. According to their report, the Iron Cavalry has arrived at Pingchengzi in the north to meet Sir Yuanhui!"

Before Chen Yannian finished his words, Ye Mingsheng, who was surprised and delighted, stood up from his chair.

The reinforcements were coming faster than he had imagined. Pingchengzi was Liujing's barrier in the north, less than sixty miles away from Liujing. With the speed of the Iron Cavalry, they would arrive at the city of Liujing in no more than a day!

After the surprise, Ye Mingsheng quickly calmed down and ordered Chen Yannian: "Tell this good news to all the officers and soldiers in the city, but we must also emphasize that the journey of a hundred steps begins with the halfway point. The closer we are to victory, the more we must not let down our guard!"

"I understand. I will guard against them strictly and not give these people from Gongdu any chance!" Chen Yannian said confidently.
