Good thing...

There was also a letter hidden in his chest.

A letter from General Zhang Shi.

Perhaps it was this letter that gave him confidence and hope, which is why he suddenly burst forth with courage he had never had before.

We're divorced!

If you're leaving... then go and serve General Zhang Shi!

Xie Liu had nowhere else to go, so he went to the government office, fetched a horse, mounted it, spurred it on, and let the horse gallop away like a shooting star, following the address given by General Zhang Shi.

Despite the howling wind, he remained undaunted.

Finally, just before dawn, they found Zhang Shi's temporary military camp.

Upon reaching the gate, he quickly dismounted and announced his name.

"Sir, sir, I am Xie Liu, the military commander of Luofengpo. I have come to serve under General Zhang Shi. Please inform him of my presence."

As it happened, one of Zhang Shi's personal guards was guarding the gate. Knowing Zhang Shi's plan, he looked Xie Liu up and down and frowned.

"you?"

"Are you the Commissioner of Agricultural Reclamation?"

"Seriously, are you kidding me?"

As he spoke, the guard took out a few copper coins from his pocket and threw them to Xie Liu, saying, "Brother, now that the Duke is here, things will be different in Yunjing. Since you are all healthy, as long as you don't become lazy, you can at least live a decent life from now on."

"Stop being a beggar."

"Aren't you ashamed, being a grown man?"

"Wait a minute, you're not a thief, are you? You stole a horse?"

Xie Liu then realized that his personal guards had misunderstood, but he couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness in his heart.

So he was in such a terrible state!

In the eyes of others, he was not even as good as a beggar!

He had no choice but to suppress the turbulent emotions churning within him, and cupped his hands, saying, "Sir, I am indeed Xie Liu, the garrison commander of Luofengpo. Please inform him of my identity."

The guard looked the man up and down and thought that although he was dressed in rags and looked poor and destitute, his behavior was not like that of a beggar.

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Please wait a moment."

Go back and ask Zhang Shi.

"What?"

"They've arrived? You mean, Xie Liu, the commissioner of the agricultural settlements, has arrived?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shi jumped up again.

No, bro, it really works!

The effect is so good!

A single letter can indeed be worth a thousand armies!

"General, I don't think so. His clothes are rather worn..."

Before the guard could finish his report, Zhang Shixian rushed out and saw Xie Liu in the distance. Suddenly, he realized that he didn't know Xie Liu either, so he quickly invited Lu Shuang over.

Lu Shuang had caught a glimpse of Xie Liu from afar and immediately recognized him, at which point Zhang Shi's overwhelming joy was fully unleashed.

"Wang Ming's happiness..."

"I finally understand!"

Zhang Shi quickly brought Xie Liu back to the military camp. Without asking about anything else, he first talked about Xie Liu's love life, since this would be a necessary lesson for him in his future military campaigns, and something he needed to improve.

The answer was quickly found out.

He immediately gave Xie Liu a guarantee.

"Xie Liu, aren't you divorced now?"

"Therefore, I, the general, will make you a promise."

"From now on, all the money you earn will be yours."

"This general... no, I'll go back and have the Duke write you a warrant. From now on, with the Duke's warrant, there won't be any problems."

"Of course, if you're still not at ease, I'll have the Duke write an imperial edict for you... ah, no, I'll have the Duke request permission from His Majesty to write an imperial edict for you."

"The money is yours to keep!"

Xie Liu's eyes warmed, and tears welled up.

He immediately knelt down with a thud: "I, Xie Liu, am willing to serve General Zhang Shi with utmost loyalty and devotion, even unto death!"
