Nanqianyue feigned reproach, saying, "Because you're going to war! What will happen to the villagers if the border defenses of Nanjing fall?"
“I know you’re not a bloodthirsty person and won’t make things difficult for those villagers, but they don’t know that in their eyes, once the Dongling Iron Cavalry sets foot in Nanjing, they are doomed to die.”
"Qin Yi, withdraw your troops." Nan Qianyue pleaded, half coquettishly and half imploringly.
Qin Yi's cold, murderous gaze swept over Xiao Chen. "Then can I kill him?"
Nan Qianyue was stunned. "No, what's the difference between killing Xiao Chen and starting a war?"
"Prince Anzheng! Please withdraw your troops!" Ahe suddenly knelt down before Qin Yi.
Nanqianyue quickly pulled him up, "Ahe, what are you doing? Get up."
Ahe broke free from Nanqianyue's grasp and kowtowed to Qin Yi, each kowtow delivered with tremendous force, pleading, "Please withdraw your troops! Please withdraw your troops!..."

Ah He's eyes suddenly welled up with tears, and he choked out, "Even my mother has never been so gentle with me."
Nan Qianyue tenderly touched his cheek, "Good boy, would you like to come with me?"
Ahe shook his head with tears in his eyes, "No, I want to go back to take care of my grandparents. Yes, I need to tell them the good news as soon as possible!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ah He turned and ran away.
Looking at his retreating figure with worry, Nanqianyue thought, "It's tough being a child who's too sensible."
Qin Yi's warhorse approached Nan Qianyue and nuzzled her shoulder with its head.
Nanqianyue withdrew her gaze, smiled, and stroked the horse's head. "Xuanchi, so you've always remembered me."
