Ye Xi felt that all of this would definitely not be enough, but she couldn't afford to pay tens of thousands of taels of silver to bribe the other party. However, she felt that the information she provided could make the other party more profitable, so it was not a big problem that she couldn't pay too much silver. Despite this, she still took out her shop and land deed as a dowry. Although they were not very valuable, they at least showed her sincerity.

After preparing everything, she decided to go to the Command Headquarters to find the Minister of War as soon as possible. After all, she had been back for quite some time. If she didn't go to find him, someone would probably find out that she was back and come looking for him again. You know, when she found out that the other person was Yang Jian, she ran back to Hangzhou without even saying hello when Pei Zhu left, just to avoid him from doing something too extreme. This trip home made her more determined to leave.

She came to the Command Headquarters, a place that ordinary people dared not approach. She walked up to the guard wearing a veil and told him that she wanted to meet Guard Xue Jiu. The guards wanted to scold someone approaching, but who knew that the other party would directly say Xue Jiu's name, and since she was a woman, they dared not act rashly, in case she was Guard Xue Jiu's family member. However, they did not dare to let anyone in casually.

Seeing their reaction, Ye Xi knew that her guess was correct. They knew Xue Jiu. She also knew that it was not easy to meet him. She tried to give him money but he was unmoved. She understood their concerns, so she asked the guard to take the money and only asked them not to chase her away. She would wait here.

The guards took the silver and thought that as long as they didn't let her in, they would not be derelict in their duty, so they acquiesced, but asked her to wait at a farther place and not get close to the gate.

Ye Xi stood aside and waited. She sent Chun Tao to do other things and came alone. She had been thinking about what she would do if the negotiation failed. After waiting for an unknown period of time, she finally saw a familiar figure preparing to enter the envoy's office. It was Xue Jiu.

"Mr. Xue." Ye Xi hurriedly lifted her skirt and ran towards Xue Jiu, shouting "Mr. Xue, please stay." She was afraid that the other party would walk too fast and go straight in.

Xue Jiu had good hearing, and heard Ye Xi's call the first time, and turned around naturally to look at Ye Xi. Although Ye Xi was wearing a veil, he recognized her.

"Madam?" he asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

"Mr. Xue, that's great. I finally waited for you." Ye Xi didn't answer him. She stood still and took a breath. She didn't know that what she said sounded like a spoiled child to others.

"Mr. Xue, I have something to ask of you." Ye Xi was so excited that she forgot about hierarchy, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly. However, she froze when she saw the person behind Xue Jiu.

Wei Jue was actually there too, why didn't she see him just now? She was probably so absorbed in her thoughts that she only noticed Xue Jiu after everyone in front of her had gone far away. Then, she was so excited that she only saw Xue Jiu and didn't notice that there was someone not far behind him.

The person she wanted to see was right in front of her, but she had been calling someone else just now, which made her feel awkward. She didn't know what to say next. She found that both of them were staring at her, waiting for her to continue, so she made up her mind and directly stated her purpose.

"Actually, I came to see Lord Wei. I thought I couldn't see him directly, so I wanted to ask Mr. Xue for help, but I didn't expect that I was too shortsighted. It's my fault, I hope you can forgive me." Ye Xi said weakly.
