Chapter 206 Finale
Zhan Liu hurried in holding a carrier pigeon, looking nervous and speaking in a hurried tone, "Master, there is a letter sent by carrier pigeon! It was sent by number three."
With a clang, the teacup in Zhan Xiao's hand suddenly fell, smashed to the ground, and broke into countless pieces. Number Three... That was the code name he gave to Shen Zhi's pigeon! Since Shen Zhi left, Zhan Xiao has searched for the Shen family many times, but has never been able to find the trace of Number Three. However, now, Number Three has returned with a mysterious letter!
Zhan Xiao hurried forward and carefully untied the note tied to the claw of number three. The moment the note was unfolded, Shen Zhi's very familiar handwriting appeared on the paper, and even the pen she used to write was the neutral pen she had used before. Zhan Xiao's head was buzzing, and his eyes were fixed on the content of the letter: The Japanese pirates have guns that are as powerful as gunpowder, so don't rush into attacking Japan.
Zhan Xiao was extremely shocked, and his mind was filled with doubts and puzzlement. Who wrote this pigeon letter? The handwriting was clearly Shen Zhi's own, and no one else could imitate it. But the problem was that Shen Zhi had passed away, so how could she write such a letter?
Zhan Xiao frowned and paced back and forth in the room, his mind full of thoughts. After a moment, he stopped and told Zhan Liu, "Gather all the generals immediately and go to the meeting room to discuss this matter."
Zhan Liu took the order and left, while Zhan Xiao once again stared at the note in his hand, trying to find more clues from the familiar handwriting. After a while, all the generals came to the meeting room, and Zhan Xiao solemnly told everyone the contents of the note.
When the generals heard this, they were immediately shocked. Some suggested that they should act cautiously and not attack Japan rashly; others questioned the authenticity of the letter, thinking it might be an enemy conspiracy. Zhan Xiao was silent for a moment and said, "This matter is of great importance and we must not act rashly. We should first send someone to find out the truth about Japan, especially about the gun with great lethality. At the same time, we should strengthen the border defense to prevent surprise attacks by Japanese pirates."
All the generals nodded in agreement and left. Zhan Xiao sat alone in the meeting room, missing Shen Zhi more and more. He secretly vowed to find out the origin of the letter and find Shen Zhi's whereabouts.
Help me write, but not long after, Zhan Xiao received a report from his subordinates that a businessman wanted to see him.
When he met the person, he found out that it was Shen Zhen, and Ke Meng accompanied her.
Shen Zhen personally handed a letter to Zhan Xiao and then left Haizhou.
Zhan Xiao stood in the warehouse, looking at the piles of gold and the hundred boxes of Xiaoyao Pills in shock. Countless thoughts surged in his mind, and Shen Zhi's handwriting seemed to carry endless care and wisdom, leading him to face this difficult challenge.
The stolen gold from the King of Huainan now reappeared before his eyes in this way, as if it was the guidance of fate. And the one hundred boxes of Xiaoyao Pills were a brilliant plan carefully prepared by Shen Zhi. He seemed to see the scene when Shen Zhi decisively put Xiaoyao Pills into the drinking water of the Japanese pirates, causing them to die of diarrhea. That was her courage and wit.
Zhan Xiao tightly held the letter in his hand, feeling Shen Zhi's intentions. She must have known the difficulty of attacking the Japanese pirates head-on, so she came up with this clever method. Use Xiaoyao Pills to throw the Japanese pirates into chaos again and create opportunities for victory.
He stood in the warehouse for a long time, thinking about the next move. Zhan Xiao decided to call the generals together to discuss how to use this batch of gold and Xiaoyao Pills to formulate a perfect battle plan.
Time flies, and three years have passed in a flash. Zhu Mingqiao often hears news about Zhan Xiao, and every piece of news stirs up waves in her heart.
Zhan Xiao led his men to attack the Japanese pirates, which was a contest of courage and wisdom. He used a trick to make the Japanese pirates drink water containing a strong diarrheal medicine, which was an amazing move. Imagining Zhan Xiao's strategizing on the battlefield, Zhu Mingqiao couldn't help but feel a surge of admiration in his heart.
Then, Zhan Xiao took the opportunity to confiscate the weapons of the Japanese pirates. This decisive action showed his courage and determination. On the battlefield, Zhan Xiao was like a fearless god of war, leading the soldiers to charge and fight for the peace of the country and the happiness of the people.
Finally, Zhan Xiao flattened the Japanese Empire. This news rang in Zhu Mingqiao's ears like thunder, and he was extremely proud of Zhan Xiao's feat.
During these three years, Zhu Mingqiao became more and more graceful. She stayed quietly in the Prime Minister's Mansion and no longer went out, as if she was watching over the concern in her heart in this world.
She knew that although she was now Zhu Mingqiao, she was still Shen Zhi in her heart. In the past three years, she had never given up thinking about Zhan Xiao, and that deep affection kept spreading and growing in her heart like a vine.
Prime Minister Zhu looked at his daughter with pity in his heart. He knew that the emperor had granted marriage to Shen Zhi and Zhan Xiao, but how could he easily give up his daughter's feelings now? Finally, Prime Minister Zhu made a difficult decision. He knelt down and begged the emperor to help Zhan Xiao and Zhu Mingqiao.
In the palace, Prime Minister Zhu knelt for a long time and spoke earnestly. The emperor looked at this loyal old minister and was filled with emotion. In fact, the emperor already knew Zhu Mingqiao's true identity. After thinking for a moment, he finally agreed to this request.
A month later, the victorious general Zhan Xiao was recalled to the capital by the emperor amid everyone's anticipation. On the streets of the capital, the people lined the streets to welcome him, cheering one after another, and they were proud of this heroic general.
In the palace, in the magnificent hall, the emperor looked at Zhan Xiao with a face full of joy. This general had made great contributions to the country, and now he should be given the honor he deserves. The emperor solemnly announced that Zhan Xiao and Zhu Mingqiao would be married.
Zhan Xiao stood there, with some guesses in his mind. These days, he had vaguely felt that Zhu Mingqiao's identity was not ordinary. Now that the emperor had granted him a marriage, although he had many feelings in his heart, he also understood that this might be the arrangement of fate. He bowed slightly and accepted the marriage.
In the blink of an eye, the wedding day arrived. The capital was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and the festive atmosphere permeated every corner. At the lively wedding scene, the guests laughed and talked happily, witnessing this important moment together.
After the lively wedding, Zhan Xiao walked into the room with mixed feelings. His heartbeat slightly accelerated, and his eyes were fixed on the figure in wedding dress. This was the first time he saw Zhu Mingqiao, but at that moment, he saw the shadow of Shen Zhi from her back.
Memories came flooding back like a tide, and the woman who had once made him worry seemed to appear before his eyes again. Zhan Xiao's voice trembled slightly, and he asked softly, "Are you a girl?" That question was filled with endless longing and expectation.
Zhu Mingqiao turned around slowly, tears glistening in her eyes. She looked at Zhan Xiao and nodded gently.
Zhan Xiao stared at Zhu Mingqiao in front of him, and the joy in his heart blossomed like fireworks. The person he thought he had lost has now returned to him in such a wonderful way.
His eyes were full of tenderness and surprise, and he walked towards Zhu Mingqiao step by step, as if he was afraid that all this was just a beautiful dream. Zhan Xiao gently held Zhu Mingqiao's hand, feeling her warmth, and the familiar touch made him more certain that this was not a dream.
"Girl, it's really you." Zhan Xiao's voice was slightly choked, and the surprise of regaining what he had lost made his heart full of emotion. He had missed Shen Zhi for countless days and nights, and now, the turning point of fate brought them together again.
Zhu Mingqiao looked at Zhan Xiao's excitement, and tears of happiness flashed in her eyes. She knew that the fate between them had never really been severed. From Shen Zhi to Zhu Mingqiao, she had gone through this period of time in different identities, but she was always closely connected with Zhan Xiao.
Zhan Xiao hugged Zhu Mingqiao tightly, as if he wanted to integrate her into his life. On this night full of surprises, they were immersed in the happiness of regaining what they had lost, and looked forward to a better life in the future.
