"I have heard about your grandfather's affairs. Alas, what a pity!"
Xie Yuan had indeed heard of General Zheng's story.
General Zheng was indeed a good general, serving diligently and conscientiously in the Northwest for decades.
Unfortunately, he was also drawn into the power struggle among the princes.
General Zheng always wanted to be a member of the Emperor's faction and not get involved in the struggle between the Crown Prince and the other princes.
However, he commands a large army, so he can't simply choose to remain neutral.
Moreover, although General Zheng had repeatedly made military achievements, he also had the common problem of generals - receiving salary without working.
He was better off than the other generals; he hadn't yet drunk the blood of his soldiers.
Even so, someone still managed to find fault with her.
Adding to the unfounded accusations, General Zheng and his entire family were ultimately exiled three thousand miles away.
They were transported directly from the Northwest to Southern Xinjiang.

She was educated and had also practiced martial arts.
She was willing to do whatever the princess needed her to do.
And so, Xie Yuan subdued the number one bandit in his life and gained his first true confidant!
