In midsummer, clouds gather and suddenly heavy rain comes.

Outside the large study room, there was the continuous sound of rain.

Xiao Qi had left for Xinli County and Yun County five days ago to take up his post.

At this time, in the study room, one of the original five desks was empty, which was very strange.

An incense burner was lit in the study, and the fragrance of sandalwood that Emperor Lin Zhihuang liked to smell was faintly emitted from the incense burner. The milky white smoke was like wisps of gossamer, faintly emitting a hazy white shadow.

Lin Zhihuang was reviewing the important official documents at hand, while Wen Nanfang, Guan Fuqing, Yang Xitong and others were discussing the implementation of waterwheels by county magistrates in various places during this period.

Sui Bianhong was still tied with his hands behind his back, and he was sitting lazily cross-legged on the floor beside Lin Zhihuang's desk, being regarded as nothing by everyone.

Chun Xia, who was on duty outside the study and was responsible for communication, saw Hu San, who was in charge of external affairs from a distance, walking quickly towards the study with an oil-paper umbrella, and immediately went in to report the matter to Lin Zhihuang.

Emperor Lin Zhihuang heard that Hu San was coming here in the Spring and Summer Announcement. Just looking at the weather outside, he knew that Hu San was coming at this time and had something important to report, so he immediately invited him in.

"Lord, there is a letter from Zhuozhou." The outer corner of Hu San's clothes was soaked by the rain, and there were also traces of water on his forehead.

As soon as Hu San said this, Wen Nanfang, who was discussing matters in the study, and Suibian Hong, who was sitting cross-legged at the desk, all looked sideways at Hu San.

"Zhuozhou? How could there be a letter coming from Zhuozhou?" Lin Zhihuang was slightly surprised. According to the time when Yu Qingruo and his party set out, they might not have arrived in Zhuozhou yet, so how could there be a letter sent?

"The messenger said he was one of Fu Xiao's men." Hu San continued to answer.

After saying this, Hu San took a letter with a locust lacquer seal from his arms, took two steps forward, and presented the letter directly to Lin Zhihuang who was sitting behind the desk.

Wen Nanfang stood up and walked a few steps to Lin Zhihuang's desk. He glanced at the acacia lacquer seal on the letter and said solemnly: "This seal is indeed the private seal of my junior brother."

When Bian Hong heard this, his pair of peach blossom eyes flashed slightly. At this time, he did not sit down lazily on the floor, but stood up and looked closely at the lacquer seal of the letter on Lin Zhihuang's case.

Then, Bian Hong glanced at Lin Zhihuang again, his lips as red as rouge slightly pursed.

Guan Fuqing and Yang Xitong also came out from behind their desks at this time and came forward to read the letter.

Lin Zhihuang looked at the letter sent by Hu San, pondered for a moment, suddenly showed his face, picked up the letter on the desk, and began to open it with his hands, already having a guess in his mind.

"Before I went to look for him, he wrote to me first. At such a young age, he is really capable of bending and stretching." After Lin Zhihuang finished speaking, the letter was already opened.

"What word is this?" After Lin Zhihuang saw the words on the letter, the smile on his lips froze, and he froze in place as he looked at the unfamiliar square words on the page.

She knows the word, but she doesn't know the word.

Sui Bian Hong immediately sneered: "Fu's calligraphy. Mr. Fujun has learned very few calligraphy. He only knows my family's calligraphy and Wen's calligraphy, right?"

Lin Zhihuang: ".........."

Wrong, I only know the Chinese characters of Wen family, but not the Chinese characters of my family, Lin family.

Your ridicule overestimates me.

Lin Zhihuang is embarrassed.

When Guan Fuqing and Yang Xitong saw Sui Bianhong laughing at their lord, they raised their heads and glared at him.

When Wen Nannan saw Sui Bianhong mocking Lin Zhihuang, he frowned slightly and looked at Sui Bianhong with a warning look in his eyes: "My lord, your time is very precious. What's the use of learning these insignificant words? If you think about big things, what are you doing?"

It’s a waste of time, how can you waste time on trivial matters?”

Sui Bianhong, who knows more than 40 sets of words: "..."

He was instantly understood by his junior brother.

Your lord's time is precious, is my time just wasted on 'trivial matters'?

"Congshen, don't you know more than forty words?"

"Yes, that's why I feel so embarrassed, so I never tell anyone about it." After Wen Nanfang finished his sarcasm, he ignored the depressed Sui Bianhong, took the letter from Lin Zhihuang's hand, and said thoughtfully I read this letter to her.

Fu Xiao's letter this time was indeed as Lin Zhihuang suspected, and he was here to request an alliance.

After hearing Wen Nanfang read this letter, Lin Zhihuang said with a smile: "It seems that the situation in Zhuozhou is very bad now."

"My lord, what you said is true. Junior brother suffered a big loss at your hands last time. With his temperament, he would never have taken the initiative to do this unless the situation in Zhuozhou was really bad." Wen Nanfang agreed.

"Very good, it saves us the trouble of being humble and asking for an alliance." Yang Xitong said happily.

"After all, Lixian County is under the rule of Zhuozhou. If it can form an alliance with Zhuozhou, it can develop more quietly." Guan Fuqing added with a smile.

"I originally thought of escorting Mr. Shoushan to Zhuozhou to break the ice with Fu Xiao. At this time, Fu Xiao took the initiative to write a letter to form an alliance, but it saved a lot of time to go back and forth to test and negotiate." Lin Zhihuang stroked his lips and smiled, and his eyes turned to Huan. On Suibian Hong who was in depression.

"Brother Sui, what do you think of this matter?"

Then Bian Hong saw that Lin Zhihuang was formally talking to him again, his peach blossom eyes flashed slightly, and he said hopefully: "Junior brother took the initiative to write a letter to form an alliance with Fu Jun. You have already expressed your intention to form an alliance. As an ally, you can't just say nothing. How about sending me to escort Master to Zhuozhou?"

"I am sending you?" Lin Zhihuang raised his eyebrows slightly and the smile on his lips deepened.

The word "pai" can only be used if there is a subordinate relationship between two people.

A blush appeared on Bian Hong's face, but after thinking about it, now was the best opportunity to climb down the pole. This opportunity must not be missed, and it will never come back.

Now that he and Bian Hong had no choice but to serve the female county guard, why should he continue to be stubborn and ask for trouble?

Sui Bianhong closed the struggling look in his peach blossom eyes, and then with the courtesy of a scholar, he knelt down on one knee beside Lin Zhihuang, the look of laziness faded from his face, and solemnly said: "Sui Bianhong, courtesy name Congyuan, pay my respects to the lord. !”
