Han Sui was shocked. "How are you able to exchange letters with Yuan Xi?"
Speaking of this, Han Sui seemed to have realized something. He looked at his daughter carefully and said, "I remember that you once went to Yedu. Could it be that you like Yuan Xi? "
Camille lowered her head and said, "I saw Yuan Xi in Yedu. Only then did I know what a real man is. For someone like Ma Chao who is bold but not astute, Grand Marshal Yuan is ten times better than him. "
Han Sui glanced at Camille in confusion. "Girl, when did you become so bold?! Marriage needs the parents' orders and matchmakers' words. How can you decide on your own? "
Camille felt that she had misspoken, so she could only lower her head and admit her mistake.
In fact, this was also caused by the difference in cultural background. If an awakened person from the Hua Xia knew about the marriage customs of the ancient Hua Xia and the shyness of the ancient Hua Xia women, they wouldn't speak like Camille and arouse her father's suspicion.
Many foreigners who came to the ancient Hua Xia didn't do well mainly because they didn't understand the ancient Hua Xia's cultural background and implicit way of speaking. They often aroused suspicion in their words and even inadvertently offended the natives of the Spirit Realm without them knowing.
Fortunately, "Miss Han Qi" was a Western Liang woman and not a girl from the Central Plains. In terms of marriage, it wasn't particularly strange for her to be braver.
Han Sui opened Bai Xiaowen's letter and skimmed through it.
"Fortunately, there's no military affairs written here. It's just a casual chat."
Camille said, "I know the importance of this matter. Of course, I won't reveal our military's secrets." She silently added two words in her heart: As if.
Han Sui then asked, "Is Yuan Xi interested in you? A young hero like him who had achieved success at such a young age and had the power to overturn the world might not fancy a Western Liang girl like you. "
Camille smiled and said, "Father, look at the back."
Han Sui turned the letter over and saw the poem "Guan Ju" written on it. It said that a gentleman longed for a fair and graceful woman when he saw one.
Han Sui was both happy and worried. He said, "Unexpectedly, Yuan Xi is really interested in you. This is indeed rare. There were tens of thousands of women in the Central Plains. What kind of woman could he not have? He didn't even take a fancy to Ma Yunlu, yet he took a fancy to a silly little girl like you. How strange. "
Camille puffed out her chest and said angrily, "Father, you're underestimating me. I'm not inferior to Miss Ma Yunlu in any way, right? "
Han Sui turned his head away from Camille and reprimanded her with a frown, "Girl, you're too rude!"
Camille didn't know which ancient Hua Xia taboo she had committed. She could only follow her past experience and bow her head in remorse.
Han Sui then sighed, "With this relationship, when the Western Liang Army falls, if our family becomes a prisoner, at least we can keep our lives."
Camille said, "Father, since you know that Ma Chao will lose, why should you hang yourself on him? It would be better to secretly reply to the letter, set things right, and cooperate with Yuan Xi to capture Ma Chao. Not only did Father not have to be a prisoner, he could even be Yuan Xi's guest of honor. When the time comes, the Marquis of Western Liang's seat will be Father's. "
Han Sui didn't have the energy to reprimand his cheap daughter for not knowing when to back down. He shook his head and sighed, "Ma Teng and I are sworn brothers. How can we go back on our words? Don't mention the matter of cooperating with the enemy. "
Camille blinked, "Then should I write a reply?"
Han Sui nodded and said, "As long as it's not a military matter, you can write it. But you have to be careful. If someone finds out, it won't look good on Father."
Han Sui was actually very conflicted in his heart. He knew that there was no future in fighting against Yuan Xi with Ma Chao, but he couldn't bear to stab Ma Chao in the back.
His daughter maintaining a personal friendship with Yuan Xi was also a way out.
Camille asked, "Father, what should I write to respond to Yuan Xi's feelings?"
Han Sui had read books before, so he immediately said, "Yuan Xi used 'Guan Ju', which is from the 'Book of Songs: Guo Feng'. It's very elegant. If you have feelings for him, you can write 'Ji Mu' as a reply. "
Camille said, "I won't."
Han Sui, "…"
… …
The messenger sent by Camille was either unlucky or fated to be captured by Ma Chao's patrolling soldiers as a spy.
They found the letter and presented it to Ma Chao.
Ma Chao was very suspicious when he saw that the letter was sent from Han Sui's camp.
He opened the letter and read it. The content of the letter was nothing more than trivial matters about life and didn't involve military matters. At the end, it was signed by Han Qi.
Ma Chao frowned, feeling very unhappy.
However, when he flipped to the back, he saw a few short lines:
'Nan has Ji Mu, Ge Yingying.' 'If a gentleman is happy, fortune will follow him.'
'Nan has Ji Mu, Ge Yingying.' 'If a gentleman is happy, fortune will follow him.'
'Nan has Ji Mu, Ge Yingying.' 'If a gentleman is happy, fortune will follow him.'
When Ma Chao saw this' Ji Mu ', he said angrily, "I'm fighting to the death with Yuan Xi, but you're still in the mood to talk about marriage!"
Ma Tie didn't understand the meaning of this, so he asked for some clues.
Military Secretary Zhou Fu said, "This article is called 'Ji Mu', and it comes from the 'Book of Songs: National Wind'. It repeats three sentences, and it talks about how Silo relies on Qiao Mu and yearns for the benevolence and kindness of a gentleman. Governor Han's daughter wrote such a letter to Yuan Xi, so she probably already has someone in her heart. "
Ma Chao was filled with anger, so he took the letter and wanted to go to Han Sui's camp to denounce him.
Pound and Ma Dai hurriedly dissuaded him, "You can't. If Han Sui doesn't have the intention to join Yuan Xi, it won't be good for Young General to go. If Han Sui has the intention to join Yuan Xi, won't Young General be walking into a trap? "
Ma Chao's anger subsided slightly. After thinking about it, he ordered someone to invite Han Sui.
Han Sui still didn't know that his daughter's letter was' exposed '. When he heard Ma Chao's invitation for a banquet, he was about to leave.
In the end, Camille couldn't bear it and persuaded, "Father, Ma Chao has always been proud of his bravery and doesn't take you seriously. Now that he suddenly invited you to a banquet, I'm afraid he doesn't have good intentions."
Han Sui shook his head and said, "You've really been bewitched by Yuan Xi, so you don't know what's going on. That's why you don't like Ma Chao. Ma Chao is my adopted nephew. How could he have bad intentions when he invited me to a banquet? "He immediately tidied up his clothes and went to the banquet.
At the banquet, Ma Chao urged Han Sui to drink.
After three rounds of wine, Ma Chao asked, "Now that the reinforcements have arrived, does Uncle have a plan to defeat Yuan Xi?"
Hearing this, Han Sui thought that he had found another opportunity. He advised, "Nephew, don't be too stubborn. With the power of the Central Plains, even if it's a moderate ruler, our Western Liang can't resist. What's more, Yuan Xi is a man of great talent and strategy. Since the start of the war in Youzhou, he has been victorious in every battle. Why don't we write a letter to make peace? "
Ma Chao's expression changed. He sneered and said, "Uncle naturally wants to make peace. If I don't want to make peace, will Uncle send someone to capture me? "
Han Sui was shocked. "Nephew, why do you say that?"
Ma Chao stood up and threw a letter in front of Han Sui. He shouted, "You want to take my head and use it as your daughter's dowry! You're still pretending that you don't know? "
