After careful consideration and weighing the pros and cons, Su Jinyun decided to return to the capital with Xuan Ying and the secret guards.

On the battlefield, she analyzed the situation with a calm and wise eye, clearly understanding her current capabilities, resources, and the actual needs of the battlefield.

It is indeed difficult for them to play a crucial role in turning the tide and saving the day on this ever-changing, smoke-filled battlefield.

Not to mention that the retired emperor, a highly respected elder who has weathered countless storms, is here to oversee things.

His calm and unwavering demeanor, like a mountain, seemed to inject a powerful boost into the entire battle, guiding everyone and stabilizing morale.

It gives people a sense of security and reliance in the midst of chaos and crisis.

Furthermore, the army is home to exceptionally wise and insightful strategists, like master chess players hidden behind the scenes, who meticulously plan and strategize with their outstanding intelligence and keen observation.

He skillfully directed every attack and defense, making the entire army function like a precisely operating war machine, efficiently and orderly dealing with various complex situations.

In contrast, the current situation in the capital is like an undercurrent hidden beneath a calm lake surface. On the surface, it appears calm, but in reality, it is turbulent and fraught with danger.

Various forces are stirring up trouble, like venomous snakes lurking in the darkness, ready to launch a fatal attack at any moment.

As the core of the country, the stability of the capital is directly related to the foundation of the entire nation, and it requires the wisdom, strategy, and strength of the capital to deal with potential threats and challenges.

This was a difficult decision she and Qin Qianluo made together after repeated discussions and careful consideration of the pros and cons on their way home.

Just now, with utmost respect and trepidation, she respectfully and in detail reported this matter to the Emperor Emeritus.

Although Su Jinyun was extremely reluctant to part with Qianluo, the sorrow of separation was like fine spider silk, winding around her heart, impossible to cut or untangle.

But deep in her heart, the safety of the nation always held the highest priority.

Like the brightest star in the night sky, it illuminated her path and guided her choices.

Those in positions of authority should fulfill their responsibilities and missions.

In her view, personal feelings should ultimately take a back seat in the face of such a grand and weighty national cause.

For the sake of national stability and prosperity, and for the sake of millions of people being able to live and work in peace and contentment, she had to make this choice.

Even though her heart was filled with reluctance and helplessness, and tears welled up in her eyes, she could only bury these feelings deep in her heart and turn them into motivation to move forward.

Qin Qianluo turned her neck slightly and gently and affectionately gazed at Su Jinyun.

At that moment, her heart felt as if it were entangled by countless fine threads. Her reluctance to part was like spring flowers, blooming freely yet intertwined in a myriad of threads, impossible to sever or untangle.

However, her reason, like a steady lighthouse, clearly guided her direction amidst the surging waves of emotion.

She knew all too well that the current situation was like a ship tossed about in a storm.

Every moment is about the survival of the nation and its people, so how can we indulge in the narrow world of personal feelings?

Since marrying Su Jinyun, Qin Qianluo has always been deeply concerned about Su Jinyun's safety.

This care, like the warm spring sun, constantly illuminated her heart.

This prompted her to teach Su Jinyun how to use the Pfeifer-Zeliska revolver without reservation and in great detail.

On that seemingly ordinary day, Qin Qianluo did not give much thought to the profound impact her actions might have.

It was simply out of the purest concern and desire to protect his beloved from the bottom of his heart, and a simple hope to build an unbreakable protective barrier for Su Jinyun.

May she have more peace and security in this world, like wearing an invisible armor to protect her from all possible risks.

Unexpectedly, the gears of fate turned quietly, linking this seemingly ordinary action to today's crisis in an unexpected way.

Today, this unintentional act seems to have been ordained by fate, at this critical juncture where life and death are at stake.

Like a key piece in a game of chess, it played a crucial role in turning the tide of the game.

Su Jinyun, a well-read and elegant civil official, usually immersed herself in the world of books and documents, and her every move exuded a gentle and refined demeanor.

However, her diligent study of the Six Arts of a Gentleman from a young age, like spring rain nourishing all things, shaped her silently yet profoundly.

She was not a weak scholar who couldn't even kill a chicken; in addition to her literary cultivation, she also possessed an extraordinary foundation in martial arts.

This Pfeifer - Zeliska revolver, due to its unique design and powerful performance, has an unimaginable weight.

When most people pick it up for the first time, their arms will probably tremble slightly due to its heavy weight, making it difficult to control.

However, in Su Jinyun's hands, thanks to the steady arm strength and skill she had honed through years of persistent practice of the Six Arts, it seemed that it did not pose much of an obstacle.

As she reached out and steadily took the pistol, her posture remained elegant and composed, like a beautiful painting.

Her eyes shone with confidence and determination, a confidence that came from within, as if declaring her commitment to this responsibility.

After a moment's thought, Qin Qianluo's mind, like a sophisticated instrument, quickly weighed the severity of the current situation and the numerous risks that Su Jinyun might encounter on this trip.
