VOLUME 9 CHAPTER 142: DON’T TELL ME THIS IS ANOTHER TRICK (8)

Li Dian POV

“Let’s do that then.” Cao Ren nodded, “I approve of that.”

“Un, that would serve as insurance against the risks we discussed.” I said and looked at Shen Pei who was still writing on the back of the letter, “Well then, Lord Shen Pei, we’ll leave the letter with you then. Please make it as formal as possible to convey our sincerity to them.”

“Un, I’ll do my best.” Shen Pei said mildly. If it’s her, the letter will definitely be good.

Just then, a howling sound came from outside. It really is cold, I thought as I reached out and felt the inner layer of the tent and found that it was cold to the touch.

If possible, I would like to return as soon as possible.

“Ah, yes.” I just remembered something and turned to look at Shen Pei, “I would like to ask, if the enemy does defect with 3 generals and 6,000 troops, should we proceed with a siege?”

“Un…” Shen Pei grunted as she sank into thought. I looked at Cao Ren and saw that she too was looking at me.

“Probably.” Shen Pei replied after some time, “If the time is right then.”

Shen Pei was not very firm or conclusive in her answer but then again, even the ‘other’ Shen Pei would probably answer the same.

Just then, Shen Pei got up, “You can leave sending out the letter to me. I need to go over to my encampment over there anyway.”

“Un, I’ll be counting on Lord Shen Pei then.” Cao Ren said as she went forward and bowed. I too bowed when I saw this.

Shen Pei smiled to us and left the tent.

“Hu~ As expected of Lord Shen Pei to think of it from all angles.” Cao Ren said, seeming very impressed of Shen Pei, as she smiled brightly.

As for me, I still have some things to ponder over.

“Yes, there is just 1 rather important thing to consider when the time comes.”

“Ah, I understand.” Cao Ren nodded.

Naturally, I believe that Shen Pei is considering this as well, that is who they will defect to when they do so.

Cao Cao or Yuan Shao, this is something that has to be considered.

Yun Chang POV

When I looked outside as the north wind howled outside the room, I saw that the few trees in the courtyard had their leaves swept cleanly off. Just a few days was enough to make everything barren. Our future was like that of a tree with a single leaf swaying in the wind, unsure of when the winds would finally stop and new leaves would begin to bud.

But leaving that aside, it looks like there will be a lot more laundry work to do now that the weather is becoming colder.

“Big brother, are you cold?” I asked as I sat beside big brother when I saw him curling up.

“I’m alright.” Big brother replied as he smiled stiffly and s.h.i.+vered a little, “Putting on a coat now would be a little bit spoiled. If I start wearing thick clothes now, what will I do when winter comes around?”

I guess he is right. As for myself, I can basically wear the same thing all year round. Though I do feel cold, I can ignore heat, or lack there of, if I maintain mental and emotional stability. Of course, this is a.s.suming I do not get sick.

“*Achoo*”

“Big brother, I think it’s better if you put something on.”

“Ah, I think so too.” Big brother chuckled as he said so. I really do not know what to do with him, especially now that I am going to leave his side for a day at least.

“Well then, I’ll be heading back first then.”

“Al

right, my lord.” Wen Yuan said in response to Lu Bu who finally got up and bade Wen Yuan farewell.
