Bai Xiangxiu had already thought of an explanation. Fortunately, the Bai family was a scholarly family and had a large collection of books.
Thus, Long Heng did not have too many doubts after hearing her explanation.
In other words, his suspicion of Bai Xiangxiu had slowly turned into trust over time, a trust that came from the bottom of his heart.
"Get dressed and rest here. Shu 'er will come in to serve you.
I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave first. "
Long Heng still had a lot of things to deal with outside, such as how to train the soldiers and how to make the weapons written in the letter.
Bai Xiangxiu also needed to rest, but she felt that she should help Long Heng.
But that would have to wait until she had enough sleep. Otherwise, she would not be able to think of anything.
Putting aside the fact that she was fast asleep, Long Heng had too many things to deal with.
First of all, the scythe he received in the city could not be used at all because it was too small and could not be used to cut horse hooves.
The most important thing was the shape. The blacksmiths were not satisfied with it even after trying a few.
At that moment, someone behind him said, "It's too short. It must be very long and have two blades. One side can be pushed and the other side can be pulled and cut."
Although the voice had been disguised, it was undoubtedly his woman.
Long Heng frowned and turned around, "Why are you here?"
Bai Xiangxiu, who was dressed as a man, reached out to take the scythe and gave a suggestion, "I slept enough and came to take a look. I know more about these things."
In fact, she had watched the TV series Water Margin before, so she could describe the shape of the scythe.
She had to thank the strict plot for giving her something she could use.
Long Heng also felt that her explanation was helpful, so he asked the blacksmiths to do it.
"The finished product will take a while. Come back with me first."
As a woman, it was not good for her to wander around the army, but she did not seem to mind, "But you still need to know how to train."
"This, come with me."
Long Heng had no choice but to take her to the training ground.
There, the selected soldiers were training how to lie down and stand up nimbly.
This was indeed a good idea. As expected of Long Heng, he was indeed capable.
"We should set up some pillars here and let them use their weapons to train how to cut the pillars. If they can cut down a row of pillars at the same time, it will be considered a success."
"So simple?"
"That's right. Once the horses in front fell, those at the back couldn't dodge in time. Then, they rushed up and trampled all the people and horses in front of them.
As long as the array is disrupted, the chain array will be broken. "
"… I really want to read that book."
"It's been too long, I don't even remember where the book is, haha …"
Long Heng didn't probe any further and only asked, "Is your body okay?"
"Sure."
Bai Xiangxiu explained some more details to him. She even thought of using the hole to attack from the back. This way, the enemy would be attacked from the front and back.
At this time, Long Heng realized that his little wife was a war maniac. She didn't even blink when she said this. It seemed that she was very confident.
"You …"
"What's wrong?"
"You're the strongest girl I've ever met."
Long Heng patted her head and said softly.
Then, he followed her suggestion and quickly organized the training.
Yu Kuang and Song Jiaoyue didn't stay idle. They felt that this was a national matter and that hot-blooded men couldn't just stand aside.
Bai Xiangxiu was risking her life for the country, let alone these men.
Long Heng didn't want her to help at first, but she couldn't stay idle.
So, she helped them arrange some details.
For example, they needed her to tell them what kind of spear shaft to choose and how to cut the pillars.
At first, Long Heng didn't feel at ease, but because there were too many things to do, he could only let her do as she pleased.
In any case, everyone thought that she was a strategist hired by Long Heng, so they didn't pay much attention to her.
There was only one person they cared about, and that was Prince Rong.
He recognized Bai Xiangxiu, so he immediately recognized who she was when he saw her busying herself in the field.
He knew that this strategist was rescued by Long Heng, but he didn't expect her to be his concubine.
Seeing her speak clearly and logically, he felt that she was indeed capable. Although she was only a concubine, if Long Heng hadn't brought her here to enjoy himself, he wouldn't have needed to care about her.
When Long Heng saw Prince Rong's expression, he knew that Prince Rong had understood the situation. Thus, he explained to Prince Rong why Bai Xiangxiu had come to Tranquil City in detail.
Prince Rong didn't expect this concubine to be so talented. Long Heng said, "There's something we need Prince Rong to decide."
"What is it?"
"When we return, please explain her actions to His Majesty. Using her merits and mine, we can exchange her for the position of First Consort."
"This isn't difficult, but I'm afraid there will be gossips outside."
"Don't worry, there are plenty of gossips in the capital."
"Haha, you're quite open-minded."
"Then, Long Heng would like to thank Prince Rong for your help."
Prince Rong was only a military supervisor, so he couldn't interfere with military affairs. However, he was still willing to help with this small matter.
After all, this woman had saved them from danger. If they ran out of food and couldn't break the formation in half a month, they would be in grave danger.
Long Heng sighed in relief. After thanking Prince Rong, he returned to his room.
He found his wife sitting there, earnestly drawing. He walked over and saw that she was actually drawing a topographic map of the surrounding area.
Especially the enemy's rear. He didn't expect her to remember it so clearly after only going there once.
"There's no need for you to draw this. Almost all the soldiers there remember it."
"You mean, everyone remembers it?"
"Yes, there's a sand table."
"Uh, then why am I wasting my energy to draw it?"
Bai Xiangxiu tossed the towel aside and walked over to the bed. She plopped down on the bed.
Long Heng asked, "Are your injuries better?"
"Mhm, much better."
"Let me take a look."
"That, that's not a good idea!"
Although they were in the city, it didn't seem appropriate to do so.
Long Heng picked her up and threw her onto the bed. Although the two of them had slept together for the past two days, they hadn't done anything.
This made him a little unhappy. Obviously, when she wasn't around, he would only think about it in the middle of the night, but he didn't act on impulse.
However, when she came, he couldn't stop himself from wanting her. He wanted her very, very much.
Bai Xiangxiu didn't refuse. After all, they hadn't been together after giving birth.
He had been holding back for a long time. When she thought of this, she didn't struggle too much. The two of them rolled together.
After a night of passion, Bai Xiangxiu didn't get up until a long time the next day.
Long Heng, on the other hand, was refreshed. He was full of energy all day long. Even his gaze towards his love rival wasn't as hostile.
However, on this day, Yu Kuang barged into his room. Or rather, Bai Xiangxiu's room. At that time, he was taking a bath in the inner room.
