Marry my elder sister? Fine! I'll give you the letter of annulment and marry someone else.

Phoenix Country.

Liu Ruoyu crossed her legs and lazily munched on sunflower seeds as she said, "You're letting Wei pretend to surrender, aren't you afraid of feeding the Wei Kingdom's appetite?"

Song Zhi smiled and said, "I'm just afraid their appetite isn't big enough."

If you don't have a big enough appetite and act timidly, it will be even more disadvantageous to the Phoenix Country.

Xiao Wei did a great job in restraining Li Guo. He didn't play tricks on her, nor did he negotiate with her over gains and losses.

He fights right away without any hesitation. What a good partner.

Liu Ruoyu thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case, so she didn't say anything else.

After submitting the letter of surrender, the State of Wei began to withdraw its troops in an orderly manner.

Until there is no longer a single soldier at the border.

Jiang Li didn't have any doubts at all.

It's not that he was arrogant or too gullible, it's simply that he felt that the people of Wei were too sophisticated to think of doing such a wicked thing as feigning surrender.

So he retreated without hesitation.

Without the interference of a third party, he was ready to have a real showdown with the Phoenix Kingdom.

As a result, the battle had not even begun. Just a few days after he withdrew his troops, the State of Wei came back like a mad dog and began to attack the border.

Jiang Li could no longer maintain his composure and could not help but swear a few times.

He hurried back, but had already lost another city.

Song Zhi in Huangguo shook his head and said that Weiguo still lacked experience.

Too careless.

How could it be exposed so quickly?! If it were her, she would have to wait until Jiang Li led his troops from the northernmost part to the southernmost part before taking action.

But since she has already taken action, her goal has been achieved.

Even if Wei surrenders again in the future, I believe Jiang Li will definitely keep some resources in the north, and both sides will be wary of each other.

And when they have a common enemy, the alliance between Huang and Wei will become stronger.

Song Zhi was in a good mood, and the Wei State did not expect that they had just captured a city and had not had time to hold a celebration banquet before Jiang Li and his men took the city back.

Jiang Li seemed to be really angry this time. It had nothing to do with the loss of a city, but the fact that the Phoenix Kingdom and the Wei Kingdom cooperated to walk him around like a dog.

Even a clay man has a temper, let alone a gifted child like him. Even if he has the most stable emotions, he can't help but break down.

The State of Wei was unable to withstand such a swift attack and lost countless capable generals.

Even Wei Rong said weakly, "How about we retreat a bit?"

If they really want to fight to the death, both sides will suffer heavy losses. Even if they want revenge, they can't just fight for the moment.

The King of Wei thought what Wei Rong said made sense, and this time he sincerely sought peace with Jiang Li.

Jiang Li no longer believed it, and personally led his troops to recapture the two cities that Wei had originally captured.

Although, the casualties were somewhat heavy.

He had never fought a battle so recklessly before. In the past, he was graceful and at ease, as if everything was planned.

But this time, they stumbled and fell into the hands of the Phoenix Kingdom, which was full of cunning people, and the Wei Kingdom, which was completely without any cunning people.

The combination of these two countries may seem ordinary, but they are actually very lethal.

The Wei State had barely had time to warm its hands to the fact that the cities it had just conquered were taken back by their original owners. The state was so surprised that its warlike nature was aroused once again.

"I just don't believe it. The men of our Wei Kingdom are all very strong. Let's see how much time he has to waste on us."

The King of Wei made the final decision.

Neither country was willing to give in, and the fighting continued.

Meanwhile, in the south, Xin Wanyun had been secretly reaping the benefits and steadily moving forward.

"The next step will depend on how Jiang Li measures it." Song Zhi put down the teacup in his hand and smiled slowly.

Should we fight to the death with the State of Wei, or fight to the death with them?

"Ruoyu, what do you think he will choose?"

Liu Ruoyu's eyes flickered, and she snorted, "No matter what he chooses, Li Kingdom is ours."

"What about Cang Qiong? He's proposed marriage so many times, but you haven't agreed. What are you thinking?"

Originally, Song Zhi didn't want to mention this, but Cang Jing begged Madam Cang to come to her.

Madam Cang's business ability is among the best. After becoming the royal merchant of Phoenix Country, she generated a lot of income for the national treasury in just a few months.

She must give this face.

Mrs. Cang was also a smart person. She did not say anything final. She just said that she could not stand her son nagging her every day and had to come to her for help with a shameless face.

She doesn't need to force the marriage or anything like that, just help them persuade Liu Ruoyu.

Mrs. Cang didn't even ask how much persuasion she could give, she just said that just mentioning it would be enough.

Song Zhi can still do such a simple thing.

"They came to see you?"

Liu Ruoyu guessed what was going on in an instant. She knew Song Zhi's personality and knew he wouldn't suddenly gossip about this.

Song Zhi nodded without hiding anything, "It can be seen that Cang Jian really likes you, and Madam Cang is also very satisfied with you."

This is also what Song Zhi likes most about Mrs. Cang, open-minded and upright.

She would never criticize Liu Ruoyu because of her past. On the contrary, because her son liked her, she would love her and constantly discover the advantages of Liu Ruoyu.

Liu Ruoyu said, "But before my family's revenge is taken, I really don't want to hold a wedding just for my own happiness."

"Child, do you know?"

"I've always felt like I'm filled with sin. I killed my family and so many innocent people. They died with grievances. How can I be happy when I haven't even avenged them?"

"So, what you mean is that you will marry Cang Qiong after you kill Jiang Li."

Song Zhiyan concluded succinctly.

She deliberately avoided comforting Liu Ruoyu. Many times, the more she comforted her, the more she would fall into that bad memory.

Liu Ruoyu was stunned for a moment. Although it was said in a simple and crude way, it seemed that it could be understood this way.

"Okay, then I know how to explain to Madam Cang."

Song Zhi waved his hand and said, "If that's the case, Cang Qiong won't be able to wait much longer. I'll ask him to prepare the betrothal gifts tomorrow."

"Isn't that a bit too hasty?"

Liu Ruoyu quickly spoke up to stop him.

"Why would you be anxious?"

Song Zhi smiled confidently, "Everything will be over in no more than half a year."

She was very sure that Jiang Li would choose to fight to the death with the State of Wei, because she could see that Jiang Li loved Liu Ruoyu madly.

As long as Jiang Li loves Liu Ruoyu, the advantage of this tug-of-war will be in their favor from the very beginning.

But she didn't say it explicitly, because Jiang Li's love only made Liu Ruoyu feel disgusted.

At the same time, Song Zhi also realized another truth, that is, it is still necessary to be friendly with neighboring countries. She does not want to face the situation of two powerful countries attacking Huangguo at the same time in the future.
