Resisting the Wind and Splendor

"It's very important." Chu Yueli had already explained it to him, but Lu Xiao still couldn't listen for a moment.

His ideas differed from Chu Yueli's.

For Lu Xiao, Lu Beimo was more important than anyone or anything.

But perhaps for Chu Yueli, just as important as the prince are her family and the Chu family army trapped in Molang Mountain.

In short, Lu Xiao still harbored some resentment in his heart.

"There's one more thing I need General Lu to do for me."

Chu Yueli suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at him.

Lu Xiao frowned slightly: "Please speak, Your Highness."

"I hope General Lu can find a trustworthy person to send to the Chu family army camp to assist my second aunt, Madam Miao," she said.

Lu Xiao was somewhat puzzled: "The Chu family army is short of people, what can I do by sending someone over?"

After all, this is in the military, where people are counted in the thousands or tens of thousands during marches and battles.

What can a person do?

Could it be that their Chu family army is short of a strategist?

"Even if he is a strategist, our strategist is familiar with our army's situation, so he can formulate battle plans. He is not familiar with the Chu family army, so he may not be of much use to the Chu family army's strategy."

"The person I want is a comrade-in-arms who can keep an eye on my second aunt."

Lu Xiao was even more confused by Chu Yueli's words.

Chu Yueli took out a letter from her bosom.

“My elder brother is seriously ill. This matter is of utmost importance. Please, General Lu, do not spread this information.”

She walked up to Lu Xiaogeng and glanced back at Lu Yunfei.

Lu Yunfei stood guard nearby, not allowing anyone to approach.

Chu Yue Li then told Lu Xiao about Chu Xiao He being poisoned by Gu.

Lu Xiao, however, felt increasingly complicated as he listened.

“Your Highness…telling me such an important matter…” He had always harbored hostility towards Chu Yueli.

But Chu Yue Li didn't reciprocate his feelings.

She said, "I know that the general is upright and distinguishes between public and private matters. I believe that any misunderstanding between us will not delay military affairs."

Lu Xiao immediately bowed and said, "There is no misunderstanding between me and the Princess."

"That's good." Chu Yueli didn't want to dwell on the issue. It was obvious that he didn't like her, and even hated her.

But she didn't care.

"Then please make sure you do well the thing I asked of you, General! Thank you in advance!" Chu Yueli bowed to him solemnly.

Lu Xiao's feelings were still somewhat complicated: "Is Your Highness certain that you must find the person suffering from the terminal illness before you take out this letter?"

That was the only way to save Chu Xiaohe's life.

What if we really can't find someone who meets the criteria?

Ultimately, Chu Xiaohe is her own brother. If someone is willing to sacrifice themselves to save her brother, then it's not impossible.

Although she has wronged him, isn't her brother more important?

If it were Lu Xiao himself, he would be willing to sacrifice anyone, including himself, to save the prince.

Chu Yue Li really didn't give those who were willing to offer themselves up any chance at all.

How much courage and determination does it take to do that?

Chu Yueli cupped her hands in greeting to him again and said, "Please, General, do your utmost to get things done."

Lu Xiao did not hesitate any longer and said, "I will certainly live up to your trust!"

Although he had opinions about Chu Yueli, he believed in separating public and private matters, which was his guiding principle in life.

He would never deliver this letter to Miao Yucui until he found the right person.

But if there really isn't such a person, is Chu Xiaohe really going to be unable to be protected?
