Difficulty in sending troops

"Second sister, I want the picture of the Beginning of Spring Riverbank that the eldest sister gave you." Li Chengzhi said after bidding farewell to Zhuang Xun.

"How dare you say that! No!" Li Rusi refused decisively.

"I took such a huge blame on you, Second Sister, and you won't give me anything?" Li Chengzhi said aggrievedly.

"I know you are wronged, but who dropped the money bag today? Dad knows that you should explain it to him." Li Rusi stepped forward and walked forward.

"Second sister, you must save me!" Li Chengzhi's expression changed, and he thought of his father's majestic appearance.

"Don't want the picture of the riverbank at the beginning of spring?" Li Rusi said with a chuckle.

"If you, second sister, could give me a picture of the riverbank at the beginning of spring, it would be a severe beating. I will endure it," Li Chengzhi said tangledly.

"You have a beautiful idea." Li Rusi covered her mouth and smiled.

"Second sister, please help me. I've just helped you resolve the embarrassment." Li Chengzhi said in a flattering tone.

"I see you are holding me over the fire, how can you talk so enthusiastically?" Li Rusi said angrily.

"How dare you? I really admire his integrity and want to make friends with him. I want to think about whether I have the courage to do such a thing in this situation. Before, he was just a civilian. He dared to take the risk because of the recommendation of others.

It's really good to make a friend at the risk of being angered by helping others collect the corpses and scattering the family property." Li Chengzhi showed a yearning look.

"It's really worth making friends with, neither humble nor arrogant, humble and polite. You really have a bright mind." Li Rusi expressed her evaluation.

"Although the second sister fell, there is no need to praise her so much." Li Chengzhi said unhappily.

It's okay to praise others, and it's okay to scold yourself, but how can you put the two things together?

"It seems that I still have no brains." Li Rusi said mercilessly, mixed with hatred that iron cannot be transformed into steel.

"Then the second sister just talked about it for a few words. How could you tell that the other person is neither humble nor arrogant, humble and polite? I think he is just a weak scholar who fell down when the second sister pushed him." Li Chengzhi said unconvinced.

"You can tell he is neither humble nor arrogant when you see our clothes. He accepted our apology calmly and was not unreasonable or unforgiving. This is neither humble nor arrogant." Li Rusi explained.

"That's right. He was a straight man, and he dared to bury the daughter of the guilty minister. The husband's family of the guilty minister's daughter did not dare, and even cut off the marriage. I admit that he is modest, and his words are indeed conservative, but you said that he has etiquette.

He is a scholar, he falls down every time he stumbles, how could he have such good posture?" Li Chengzhi said unconvinced.

"If you can get rid of your frizzy personality, you can also become more graceful. The grace comes from the shape, grows from the spirit, and is formed from the heart. This Zhuang Xiaolian has a kind face and a literary spirit, and his speech and behavior are free and elegant.

He followed the rules, showed that he was neither humble nor arrogant, and showed himself to be humble and approachable. No wonder he acted like collecting the corpse for his benefactor." Li Rusi said with appreciation.

"I don't see it. Anyway, we can make friends." Li Chengzhi couldn't tell. He couldn't tell what the appearance or the aura was. Anyway, he thought Zhuang Xun was just ordinary.

"How can you make friends with others if you are like this! If you are not polite, you will really lose the face of the Li family." Li Rusi's gentle face turned serious.

"Does his poor family have so many rules? Our family all..." Li Chengzhi wanted to refute but swallowed it when he saw his sister's expression.

"It's because he comes from a poor family, so you can't be embarrassed, because you are the face of the Li family." Li Rusi said, covering her face.

"I don't think Zhuang Xiaolian is this kind of person, and it's so troublesome for me to just not make friends with him." Li Chengzhi said without any confidence.

"You are really, forget it, he is from the Yu State, and we are from the Cheng State, so we have no contact with each other." Li Rusi said helplessly seeing her brother looking lazy.

"The point is that we have lost the money now. What will Dad say when he asks later?" Li Chengzhi was more worried about this.

"Isn't it enough to see that the people in Yindu are pitiful and give alms?" Li Rusi was tired and didn't want to go around in circles with her brother.

"Is it that simple?" Li Chengzhi said a little dumbfounded.

"Otherwise you said you spent money? Where did you spend it? What did you buy? Besides, it was indeed given to the people of Yindu." Li Rusi asked back.

"..." Li Chengzhi couldn't find an excuse to refute.

"What about the mission that dad gave us? We need to go to the temple to pray for him." Li Chengzhi held back a sentence.

"Go back and get the money. Otherwise, do you have any private money to worship these gods and Buddhas?"

"Yes..." Li Chengzhi said honestly.

"Your monthly salary is strictly controlled, and you often reward the maids in your room. Where do you get your private money?" Li Rusi said in surprise.

"The eldest sister gave it to me, saying that I was old and it was time to use money." Li Chengzhi said frankly.

"Then you've been thinking about my picture of the riverbank at the beginning of spring all day long. I think you're asking for a beating!" Li Rusi glanced at Li Chengzhi, who responded with a naive smile, becoming more and more begging for a beating.

"Go home first. Just save your private money and waste it on this." Li Rusi rejected Li Chengzhi's idea of ​​using his private money to make up for the shortfall.

"Second sister, do you just want to see me get beaten by my father?" Li Chengzhi shrank his head and speculated maliciously.

"What did you say?" Li Rusi's eyebrows stood up and her almond-shaped eyes widened.

"I didn't say anything, second sister, is it really okay?" Li Chengzhi said with a smile.

"It's a small amount of money. My parents are usually very strict in their discipline. The monthly payment is so small that they make you so worried. Do you think you have lost some big money? You will go to practice martial arts when you get back soon. I will explain to my father." Li Rusi touched.

Touching his forehead, he felt that his brother was really a piece of rotten wood that could not be carved.

After returning to Chengguo Mansion, Li Chengzhi gave up and hid in the backyard to practice martial arts while Li Rusi went to pay her respects to her father.

"Have fun? Why are you back so early?" Li Pingyuan sat in the study, holding the military book in his hand, and smiled kindly when he saw his daughter coming in.

"I'm not happy. There are too many refugees. My money was stolen. I didn't even go to the temple to pray for blessings." Li Rusi said directly.

"I don't even bring a carriage with me when I go out. It doesn't matter if I can't go to the temple. Anyway, the doctor can confirm that I am sick and spread suspicion in Youguo." Li Pingyuan did not pursue the matter of the missing money.

"What did King Yu say? Hasn't he agreed to send troops yet?" Li Rusi asked proactively.

"No, Siqin Shengjing's betrayal cast a huge shadow on him. He was afraid that he would send out soldiers and rebel on the battlefield again, so he felt that he could just sit back and relax by guarding Chengdu Pass." Li Pingyuan said helplessly.

"What he said is correct, but the premise is that it can be defended. The people of Yindu are panicked and have no intention to fight at all. Why doesn't he want to surrender the city at Chengdie Pass? Why is he so stupid? We in Chengguo don't have time to spend

He is waiting for him with food and an army." Li Rusi said sarcastically.

"He is just stupid. Otherwise, Siqin Shengjing can completely control the army without any control?" Li Pingyuan also said with disdain.

"But Yu State cannot be destroyed at this time. If he is destroyed, our Cheng State will have to face the tiger and wolf of You State alone. At least, at least until I train Cheng State's usable soldiers." Li Pingyuan said with some helplessness.

, he pinched his eyebrows, feeling that there was no solution to this situation.

"Then it's better to divide the Yu Kingdom with the You Kingdom!" Li Rusi said, her almond-shaped eyes showing a fierce light.

"If you can't eat it, Chengguo itself still has a lot of problems to be solved. It can't eat half of Yuguo. This time it can be used to annex Dai County. Moreover, I like Huang Lao and don't like to fight. I think it will harm the peace of the world.

"Li Pingyuan smiled bitterly.

"These emperors are like this. They are all emperors who are still cultivating immortals. They are going to destroy the country and have a longevity banquet. They don't know how to govern the country. Sooner or later..." Li Rusi couldn't stand it and said.

"It would be great if you were a man, then dad could plan more for you, Chengzhi, ugh..." Li Pingyuan sighed, and Li Rusi's expression became dim.
