The Prime Minister's Darling

Chapter 1577: 762 Siblings Join Forces (Second Update)

“What’s going on?” Xiao Hen asked.

“Xiaoxue said it’s Jiaojiao’s exam question.” Xiao Jingkong patted his chest, “I memorized it, these are all written by me!”

The two exchanged a glance. Exam question? Was it what they had in mind?

The pair took the exam question to the next room.

Xiao Hen closed the door and sat down by the table with Gu Jiao.

“Six bamboo tubes, six people advancing… Open them,” he said, looking at the table’s bamboo tubes.

“Hmm.” Gu Jiao casually picked up a bamboo tube, poured out the piece of paper inside, and read, “Enter Songshan Mountains, ambush the enemy camp near Biyue Spring, seize the secret letter, and deliver said letter to the first Fenghuo Camp, handing it personally to the deputy commander in charge of the camp’s defense on the left.”

“Sounds like the final selection task for your mission this time,” Xiao Hen paused, “but why are there six bamboo tubes?”

Gu Jiao opened the second bamboo tube, “Thou art a spy for the Tujue, this is the real secret letter from the Tujue army, swiftly carry the only secret letter to the first Fenghuo Camp, handing it personally to the deputy commander of the rebels on the right.”

“What does that mean?” Gu Jiao asked.

Xiao Hen said, “The secret letter obtained from ambushing the enemy camp is a fake, if it weren’t for this bamboo tube, probably no one would know they’d taken a false letter. Thus, even if one reaches the final destination, the mission would still be a failure.”

Gu Jiao furrowed her brow, “Clever indeed. So, this task of escorting the real secret letter has an advantage, as there’s no need to battle the enemy nor worry about carrying a fake letter.”
