Wu Ce pondered for a moment, and finally decided to do as Shen Li said.

At that moment, he also felt that what Shen Li said made a lot of sense.

This matter really cannot be addressed through official memorials; it must be handled through a family letter.

Because writing letters home eliminates the risk of them being intercepted.

Furthermore, who would dare to secretly open and read the letter written to the Empress?

Want to pry into the family affairs of the supreme ruler?

How many heads do you have to chop off?

Although it sounds a bit absurd that Wu Ce would write a letter home to Ji Wuxin, it is only human nature!

After all, it's currently a struggle for the throne among nine princes, and everyone wants to have a good relationship with the current empress.

"Here, get me paper and pen, I'll write... a letter home right now!" Wu Ce was a man of action, and immediately sent someone to get paper and pen.

"Your Highness, how do you intend to write this letter?" Jia Daoshi asked.

Wu Ce was taken aback: "Of course, I'll write it truthfully."

“That won’t do.” Jia Daoshi shook his head: “You have to lay the groundwork first. In the letter home, write as tragic as it is, preferably describe this place as hell! The harshness of the environment and the peril of the situation must be written down! Then you must ask His Majesty to send reinforcements as soon as possible.”

"Then, at the end, you briefly mention that a lot of iron ore and ironware from the Great Jing Dynasty suddenly appeared on the grassland."

"These resources controlled by the imperial court were transported to the Kushan Empire through the Fifth Prince's caravans, passing through the City of Cliffs! These caravans, operating under the Fifth Prince's name, refused to be inspected by the border guards and did not pay taxes! We hope Your Majesty will severely punish the Fifth Prince and make him pay back all the taxes he owes over the years!"

Wu Ce picked up the pen, biting the pen barrel as he wrote. After writing a few words, he crumpled the paper in front of him into a ball and threw it aside.

"Chief Jia, I really can't write this. Why don't you write it for me?" Wu Ce looked at Jia Daoshi with some helplessness.

Jia Daoshi: "..."

This eldest prince is fine in every other way, except that he's a bit too straightforward.

Can someone else write a letter for you?

“Your Highness, this is not a good idea. If someone recognizes the handwriting, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor!” Jia Daoshi said, speechless.

Wu Ce thought about it and agreed, so he simply gave up and said, "Then you say one sentence and I'll write one sentence."

Jia Daoshi: "..."

Finally, Jia Daoshi spoke while Wu Ce wrote, and the two of them wrote this "family letter" together.

After finishing writing, Wu Ce sealed it with wax and then sent someone to deliver the letter.

But Jia Daoshi stopped him again!

"Chief Jia, why is this happening?" Wu Ce wondered again. Why was it so troublesome to write a letter home?

Jia Daoshi shook his head and said, "We can't just send a letter home. We also need to write a battle report and then send it back to the capital by Qingluan Messenger with the utmost urgency!"

Wu Ce was bewildered: "Isn't this too troublesome?"

Jia Daoshi shook his head: "How can this be called troublesome? If it's just a family letter, then we can't use the Azure Phoenix Messenger, and the delivery time will be longer. But it's different when we add battle reports. With the Azure Phoenix Messenger, the letter can be sent back immediately!"

After Jia Daoshi said that, Wu Ce understood.

No matter what it is, getting into the palace is not that simple.

However, it's different when the Azure Phoenix messenger delivers the message.

No one dared to stop the Azure Phoenix Messenger from delivering the message!

Because those were all battle reports!

Once both items were prepared, Wu Ce summoned the Azure Phoenix messenger to depart immediately.

Wu Ce seemed to have accomplished something and returned to the camp with satisfaction.

Jia Daoshi stared at the border defense map hanging on the wall, lost in thought.

Once this news reaches the capital, Ji Wuxin will most likely send a letter instructing his trusted confidante, Liu Ruyan, to investigate.

At that time, Liu Ruyan will present the evidence of Wu Quan's collusion with foreign tribes.

Of course, given Wu Quan's methods, it's unlikely that he will be able to find evidence of his collusion with the alien race so easily.

There's only one way to easily obtain evidence: defeat the Kushan Empire!

Once you have the evidence, things will be much easier!

Once there is sufficient evidence, we can just watch as the Empress deals with Wu Quan.

"Hey! What are you daydreaming about?" Shen Li walked up to Jia Daoshi and bumped his shoulder with her own. "You went to Sister Liu's room last night, didn't you? You lecherous scoundrel!"

Jia Daoshi was taken aback, then laughed and said, "Nothing can escape the Prince's eyes. It seems that your sister Liu's visit to Juebi City this time will cause our Emperor to lose both his wife and his army!"

"Huh? What do you mean? You're saying that Sister Liu was sent by His Majesty?" Shen Li was taken aback.

"Of course, your Sister Liu is no ordinary person. She is a disciple of Liushu Tianque. His Majesty sent her here to try to extract my secrets. Fortunately, my charm is great, and she turned an enemy into a friend!" Jia Daoshi chuckled.

"Pah! You're so pleased with yourself now!" Shen Li said with a look of disdain. "By the way, are all the old, young, women and children in the city being evacuated? Not a single one left?"

“Of course, and to reassure the soldiers, you will be in charge of escorting them south this time, Ah Li. Anyway, with me in Juebi City, there will be no mishaps.” Jia Daoshi’s expression turned serious.

"Hmm...that's fine too." Shen Li nodded.

"Then if I leave, who will keep you company?" Shen Li suddenly tilted her head and asked.

Jia Daoshi thought for a moment and said, "Let your Sister Liu stay and keep me company."

Upon hearing Jia Daoshi say this, Shen Li rolled her eyes at him with a hint of resentment. In fact, Shen Li had already guessed the answer when she asked the question.

Liu Ruyan is skilled in both literature and martial arts, and she was just won over by Jia Daoshi, so she must be full of novelty.

Moreover, Liu Ruyan possessed a very noble, scholarly air, and her skin was so fair and tender that it looked like it could be pinched to release moisture!

This kind of woman, not only men, but even she herself can't help but want to hug her when she sees her.

Fortunately, Shen Li wasn't a pretentious woman. After a pause, she said, "Just Sister Liu, no one else?"

"That Holy Maiden of the Green Turban Army, you don't plan to keep her by your side?"

At this point, Jia Daoshi paused for a moment.

Shen Li continued, "The Green Turban Army is gone. Judging from the current situation, the mysterious mastermind behind it all has other avatars. Xiao Rongyu betrayed the Green Turban Army and may be assassinated. It would be better to keep her by your side so that you can have someone to look after you."

"When I have time, I can take care of you."

In Shen Li's view, the situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, and since Jia Daoshi is going to stay in Juebi City, it would always be good to have an extra expert by his side.

Especially during the period before the war.

Jia Daoshi shook his head: "Rong Yuhui, Baoqiang, and Chen Long infiltrated the capital to assassinate the Fifth Prince. Although there is no evidence to prove that the Fifth Prince was the culprit who killed her family back then, the mere fact that the Fifth Prince colluded with the Kushan Empire makes him a prime suspect."

Xiao Rongyu now regards the Fifth Prince as the target of her revenge.

Knowing this, it's clear that she wouldn't be able to stay in Cliff City!

“My lord, the situation in Great Xia is currently turbulent. We don’t know how many troops the imperial court will send north, and the Ming family’s stance is unclear. If we really can’t hold out, there’s no need for us to fight to the death,” Shen Li suddenly said.
