My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

In the military camp, Fu Ci once again unfolded the letter that Ji Yunshuang had written to him.

He had read this letter countless times. Its contents were deeply imprinted in his mind.

But he still unconsciously unfolded the letter, stared at the handwriting, and pondered the problem.

Just then, Tang Yiyang quickly walked in, bowed hastily to him, and said, "Your Highness! There's good news. Our scouts have discovered new movements by the Qi army."

Fu Ci carefully picked up the letter from the table and asked, "What's all this commotion?"

“A large number of Qi troops are marching towards Jingzhou. I estimate that it is about half of the Qi army.”

Tang Yiyang was somewhat excited, but fearing that his judgment was wrong, he restrained his excitement and said, "Your Highness, why do you think the Qi army is marching such a large number of troops towards Jingzhou? Could it be that they realized they couldn't defeat us and ran away?"

Fu Ci was both excited and unsure at this moment.

Could this be what Junior Sister meant when she said that the Qi army should withdraw and attack King Xuan's fiefdom?

How on earth did she do it?

He suppressed his excitement and said, "Send men to continue the investigation. Also, tell the soldiers to be on high alert and be careful, as this may be a Qi army plot."

If the Qi army is feigning an attack on Jingzhou, but is actually deliberately spreading false information to lower their guard...

They are relaxing now and are likely to suffer a crushing defeat.

Tang Yiyang said, "Your Highness, rest assured, I understand. As long as the Qi army is not driven out of the territory of my Zhou Kingdom, my soldiers will not dare to relax for a single day."

Fu Ci nodded. "Go down!"

After Tang Yiyang left, Fu Ci took out the map and studied it carefully before calling someone over to ask if there was any news from Hongdu.

After Lu Yinheng selected the soldiers and set off, he ordered his men to ride back to Hongdu at top speed and, following the location given by Feng Shijiu, to arrest Fu Pei at his private residence.

"Your Highness, there's been no news yet." The soldier hesitated, glancing at him cautiously, before saying, "The horses Guard Zhong brought... we can't keep an eye on them..."

Fu Ci's expression was grim. "You can't even handle such a small matter?"

“Those two wild horses wouldn’t obey anyone’s orders except for that big tiger. The horse that Guard Zhong was riding kept trying to get close to one of the mares, but as soon as it got close, the wild stallion would fight it.”

The soldier thought to himself, "It seems those two wild horses are a pair, but the horse that Guard Zhong is riding has taken a fancy to the wild mare and wants to snatch her away."

He had only ever seen two men fight over a woman before, but this was the first time he'd ever seen two stallions fight over a mare. He'd certainly broadened his horizons.

Fu Ci had previously taken a liking to the physique of that wild mare and wanted to keep her in the army to breed more good foals.

He hadn't expected the horses to be so jealous. He said, "Let's separate the two wild horses from the others for now, and tame them gradually later."

The soldier said, "No, without that big tiger keeping them in check, the wild horses are incredibly unruly. The stables tried to separate them, but our men couldn't get close to them at all..."

Fu Ci rubbed his forehead and said, "If the tiger returns in a while, report to me immediately."

He had no idea where the big tiger had gone or whether it would ever come back.

Unlike Ji Yunshuang, he couldn't communicate with the big tiger.

Judging from the tiger's expression, its mission was to escort Zhong Xu to deliver the letter. Once the letter was delivered, its task should be considered complete.

However, that big tiger was so cunning that it didn't resemble a tiger at all, but rather a human.

It should be able to tell that Zhong Xu has been poisoned and is unable to complete the task of sending the letter back; it might be waiting for his reply.

Fu Ci felt that his idea was absurd. No matter how smart he was, he was still just a tiger. How could he think of a tiger with human thinking?

To his surprise, the big tiger actually returned shortly afterward.

Upon hearing the soldier's report, Fu Ci quickly grabbed the letter he had written in advance and ran out.

"Your name is Tianrui, right?" Fu Ci looked at the tiger and tentatively asked, "You can understand me, right?"

Tianrui looked at Fu Ci with displeasure.

Do you think this babbling two-legged creature is stupid? How could it not understand something so simple?

Fu Ci smiled at its unhappy expression and waved the letter in his hand: "Could you help me deliver this letter back to your master?"

Tianrui looked at Fu Ci as if he were an idiot. What was it doing here if not to deliver a message to its master? Did it even need to ask?

Fu Ci blinked, wondering if he was seeing things. Why did he seem to see a look of disdain in the tiger's eyes?

He was looked down upon by a tiger.

While Fu Ci was having an existential crisis, Tian Rui grew impatient and called out to him.

Fu Ci clearly didn't understand animal language, but for some reason, he could sense its impatience.

"Can I send someone back with you?" Fu Ci smiled and called over his personal guard to give the letter, but Tian Rui stopped him.

Both of them were taken aback. The guard said, "Your Highness, it... seems unhappy that I'm going with you."

Fu Ci gave him a rare disdainful glare. How could he not have seen the tiger's obvious reaction?

"It doesn't want you to come along. You'd better think about what it would be willing to do!"

The guard scratched the back of his head and started playing a guessing game with the tiger.

As time went on, Tianrui grew increasingly impatient, and his personal guard was almost sweating profusely. Finally, he remembered, "Shouldn't Guard Zhong come back with you?"

Tianrui then put away its tiger teeth.

The guard breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "It seems that Shenhu means it's best to let Guard Zhong go back with him."

Fu Ci originally planned to leave Zhong Xu in the army and wait for his men to go to Hongdu to investigate Fu Pei and obtain the antidote before giving him the antidote.

The poison hasn't been neutralized yet, should we let him go back with the tiger?

However, considering his junior sister's abilities, he hesitated for a moment before saying, "Go and bring Guard Zhong here, along with those two wild horses."
