Chapter 17 The grass boat borrows arrows
At eight o'clock in the evening, Qi Ziyan was walking slowly forward with a glass of milk in his hand.

According to the script he wrote for himself, this cup of hot milk should be sent to Qi Le's room to show his love as a brother for his sister.

Just as he was about to hold the door handle of Qi Le's room, the photographer suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Today's recording ends here. Thank you for your hard work."

Qi Ziyan looked at the time on his watch and sure enough, it was already eight past two.

He looked at the door of Qi Le's room and shook his head. Since the live broadcast was over, there was no need to pretend anymore.

Qi Ziyan drank the milk in his hand, put the cup on the table, and turned back to his room.

Outside the door, it was already late at night, and the photographer suddenly stopped while walking.

"Oops!" He slapped his forehead, "I forgot to turn off a device!"

Go back to Qi Ziyan's house? No, that would be a little impolite.

The photographer took out his phone and breathed a sigh of relief. "Fortunately, fortunately, the live broadcast room has been closed. Even if the camera captures something, it will only be uploaded to the cloud and will not be broadcast."

This kind of footage can also be used as a behind-the-scenes feature in the future. The photographer thought about it.
The mobile phone also has a remote control function for the camera. After the photographer operated it, he remotely turned off the camera in Qi Ziyan's home.

At the Ji family, after the live broadcast ended, Ji Yunfan finally memorized the entire "Xiao Yao You".

Ji Chenxing finally put down the ruler in his hand and said, "You have memorized well and the translations are correct."

Ji Yunfan scratched his head. It was the first time that Ji Chenxing praised him, and he felt a little embarrassed.

"Then I'll go back first." Although the live broadcast had ended, Ji Chenxing was still very strict and instructed: "Check the "Six Kingdoms Theory" tomorrow night. You must work hard and don't slack off."

After Ji Chenxing finished speaking, he left Ji Yunfan's room.

After being busy all day, Ji Chenxing almost forgot that today was her first day in this era.

After washing up, Ji Chenxing fell into a deep sleep.

After an unknown amount of time, Ji Chenxing was suddenly awakened by a familiar voice.

"Chenxing? Chenxing?"

Ji Chenxing opened his eyes and saw the familiar face in front of him.

Follow the rules!
"father……"

Almost as a conditioned reflex, Ji Chenxing wanted to call him father like she used to, but the cold blade in her chest seemed to still be stirring, and she couldn't utter the word "father" no matter what.

Ji Zunxing was somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, "He's only been dead for a few days, and you won't even call me father?"

Ji Chenxing:?

If Ji Zunxing had said this in the past, her first reaction would definitely be to bow and apologize. But after spending a day with the new family members, Ji Chenxing no longer had the idea of ​​you being superior to me.

After hearing what Ji Zunxing said, Ji Chenxing just wanted to slowly type a "?"

Ji Chenxing's voice turned cold, "I wonder why General Ji called me here today?"

The surroundings were a little hazy, and there was an lingering digital countdown in front of him. Ji Chenxing keenly realized that this was not reality.

Maybe Ji Zunxing used some method to contact her and called her back to this place.

However, next to the ten-minute countdown, there is a line of small words: You can receive a random reward after completing the call.

This line of small words makes the whole scene look like a piece of cheap advertisement.

Ji Zunxing cleared his throat, as if to save his lost face, and he straightened his back.

"Chen Xing, your father called you here today because he has something to ask you.

"In the battle of Sishui, the enemy was strong and we were weak. The enemy had 100,000 soldiers and we only had 50,000 soldiers. Moreover, we were short of food and grass, and it would take four days for the supplies to reach the battlefield. It was a dead end." "But in the end, our army won a great victory. Ji Chenxing, how did you do it?"

Ji Zunxing threw Jun Heng's words to Ji Chenxing exactly as they were.

Ji Chenxing suddenly found it a little funny. Wasn’t this the same question she asked Ji Zunxing on the day she was killed?

"Didn't General Ji say that day? All the victories in these wars were fought for by you and your good men. What does it have to do with a woman like me?"

Under the dim candlelight, Ji Zunxing's already red and black face turned into the color of liver. He was ashamed and angry, and shouted: "Ji Chenxing!"

"What's wrong, father? Was there anything I said wrong?" Although the surroundings were like shadows, Ji Chenxing still sat on the chair in the study, quietly looking at the furious Ji Zunxing.

Ji Zunxing's eyes turned dark. "Ji Chenxing, I am your father. Your father called you here in the middle of the night. Did he want to hear you say this? Is that how you talk to your father?"

Ji Chenxing finally couldn't help it and burst out laughing.

"General Ji, you are joking. First of all, I am a woman waiting to be married. How can I know how that battle was fought? Why do you have to embarrass me like this?

“Secondly, General Ji said that I was collaborating with the enemy, and I admit it. The life of Ji Chenxing has been returned to the general, and the general does not have to treat me as his daughter.

"Finally, if the general really needs me for something, please act like one who asks for help."

Ji Chenxing sat on the chair in the study with her legs crossed, as if she was the owner of the room.

"You...!" Ji Zunxing gritted his teeth and struggled ideologically for a long time. Finally, he realized that he had no way to deal with Ji Chenxing now.

Ji Zunxing suppressed his anger, sat on a chair beside him, and reluctantly showed weakness to Ji Chenxing, "Please."

Given Ji Zunxing's integrity, it was not easy for him to say "please" to her, and Ji Chenxing was not deliberately making things difficult for her.

"But, now that I'm helping you, how are you going to repay me in the future?" Ji Chenxing asked finally.

Ji Zunxing gritted his teeth and said, "If you can come back one day, I will definitely reward you with ten thousand taels of gold."

Ji Chenxing didn’t know whether he could come back, but looking at the situation today, it was not impossible.

After hearing this, Ji Chenxing finally stood up and became serious.

“It’s actually not that hard to win that battle.

"We have 50,000 troops and the enemy has 100,000. We have been fighting for a long time and our food and grass have been exhausted, and the enemy's food and grass have also run out.

"The first point is about food and fodder: the enemy has a special road for transporting food and fodder. Our army only needs to send a small team to ambush them halfway. If we can rob them, we will rob them. If we can't rob them, we will destroy them.

"The enemy has more people than us, and if we run out of food and fodder, our losses will only be greater.

“Secondly, our army has 50,000 soldiers and the enemy has 100,000 soldiers. The enemy has the advantage of numbers, while ours has the advantage of elite soldiers.

"When the enemy defends, we attack. All we need to do is divide our army into several teams and randomly select a time from midnight to 11am every day to launch a feint attack to consume the enemy's energy. The enemy will be short of food and grass and will definitely not dare to fight."

Hearing this, Ji Zunxing suddenly thought of something and murmured while stroking his beard.

"No wonder, no wonder you had people light more stoves every day when the food and grass were running out. It turns out you were just trying to scare people."

Ji Chenxing nodded, "This is called the 'Empty City Strategy'."

Ji Zunxing suddenly thought of something, "Then where did the 100,000 bows and arrows used by our soldiers come from?"

Ji Chenxing smiled and said, "General, you may have forgotten that one night when there was a thick fog over the Sishui River, our army pretended to attack and put more than ten straw men on each boat. The bows and arrows we used later were 'borrowed' from that time. This is called 'borrowing arrows from straw boats'."

Ji Zunxing suddenly realized, "So that's it, so that's it! I will write a memorial to present to the emperor."

"Wait." Ji Chenxing's expression suddenly changed. "You said, this question was asked by the emperor?"
