After Long Lingzhi finished speaking, all the ministers stood there in a daze, extremely surprised.
They usually only know that the Great Princess is quiet and gentle.
I didn't know she could have such a strategy. She is worthy of being a child raised by the high priest himself and is as smart as the high priest.
The minister who was pointed out by Long Lingzhi stood up and said, "I will definitely fulfill your mission."
Long Lingzhi nodded, put her brother down, turned around and left the palace. As she walked, the hem of her blue lotus-colored pleated skirt created ripples, and lotus flowers bloomed with every step.
The palace of the high priest has been destroyed and he now rests in the royal palace.
The curtains were so thick that not a single ray of light could penetrate.
The man on the bed had delicate features, his dark black hair was loose, making his skin look even whiter, his lips were pale, and he looked extremely fragile.
Long Lingzhi gently opened the curtain and walked very lightly, for fear of disturbing the person on the bed.
Seeing his right hand wrapped in white cloth, tears fell one by one like pearls from a broken string.
"I told you not to do this... Now... if you don't wake up, what will happen to me and my brother?"
Long Lingzhi took a deep breath and turned to the window with tear-blurred eyes.

Sinan, study.
Gu Wei looked at Jiang Yunzi with a complicated expression, "Uncle Jiang, may I ask how much do you know about the mechanism of Tingxue Tower?"
Jiang Yunzi picked up the wine pot and took a sip of wine before replying, "How would I know? Your master and I are only doctor-patient. If you want to know something, you might as well go back and ask him."
After he finished speaking, Jiang Yunzi sighed.
"The wine brewed by little Aling's mother is really mellow and fragrant."
Gu Wei pondered and nodded.
Inner thoughts.
Why does Nanzhao have a mechanism exclusive to Tingxue Tower?
It seems like it's time for him to go back to Tingxue Tower.
By the way, Master doesn’t know that he is in Sinan now.
But the old man is so calm and composed that unless he dies, I guess nothing will alarm him.
"Report!"
A soldier rushed in.
"My lord, there is a group of people dressed in Miao costumes outside the city, claiming to be Nanzhao officials!"
Gu Wei raised his eyebrows and followed him out of the house.
"Go and invite them in."
It seems that Aling guessed correctly.
As expected, the people of Nanzhao came to ask for forgiveness.
Xie Ling also got the news, and the two of them walked towards the main hall together.
When the soldier went out to deliver the message, he also told his brothers who were training.
The soldiers were all geared up, shouting loudly, the sounds of training calls and swords and guns filled the sky above Sinan, and the cold winter day inexplicably had a more solemn and murderous atmosphere.
The students in class at the academy were wondering why the people in the military camp were so excited today.
Then my teacher came in and said with a smile, "Students, today we have envoys from the Nanzhao Kingdom coming. Can we read aloud a little louder so that they can see it?"
The students' eyes all lit up.
"good!"
Soon, the sound of reading aloud was heard.
When the Nanzhao officials walked in, what they saw was a picture of vitality, a strong army, and a bright future.
There were bursts of trumpet calls from the military camp, so powerful and majestic that they almost sounded in my ears.
It seemed as if everyone could see across the bustling streets, the grim faces of thousands of soldiers wielding heavy swords.
The officials were sweating profusely and followed the soldiers who were leading the way timidly.
After walking a few steps, the sound of reading from the school came again.
"A gentleman is open and honest, while a villain is always worried—"
"If anyone offends my people, he will be punished no matter how far away he is—"
The Nanzhao official's face turned even paler.
The whole Sinan was completely different from what they had imagined.
It’s really….great.
It's terrifying to be an enemy of such a force.
It seems that Dadiji is right, they must apologize!
The soldiers deliberately led the Nanzhao officials around several busy streets before arriving at the county government office.
"We'll just take you here. We'll withdraw first."
Lord Wan, the leader, was a little puzzled, "Excuse me, where is the palace?"
The soldier pointed at the dilapidated gate of the county government office and said, "It's right inside."
The officials were even more shocked.
From ancient times to the present, which rebel leader’s achievements did not include building large-scale buildings, constructing palaces, and collecting beauties?
But the house in front of me, with its green tiles and white walls, looks elegant, but it is actually a bit shabby. It is even worse than many residential buildings I have seen along the way...
This King Nanwei is really... beyond people's expectations.
The group of people were in deep thought, and walked slowly inside with their heads down.
The further you go in, the greater the psychological pressure.
I could vaguely see about ten or twenty people sitting in the front hall.
Just stepped in.
A voice as gentle as spring breeze was heard.
"You are the envoys of Nanzhao, right? What brings you to Sinan?"
Wan Da, who was in the lead, raised his eyes and saw the handsome man sitting in the first seat, and a look of surprise flashed across his mind.
I didn’t expect that the famous King Nanwei was so young.
After sitting down, Lord Wan gritted his teeth and told his purpose.
"We, Nanzhao, are willing to pay five thousand taels of silver..."
This was Sinan’s first “diplomacy”, and all the officials who had nothing important to do came, including Xu Xingzhi, Zhou Cisui, Fengjian Qingli…
The main hall was packed with people, all with solemn expressions, but actually very nervous inside.
Gu Wei chuckled, his peach blossom eyes curved, "Why don't I understand what Lord Wan said? Five thousand taels, my daily expenses in Sinan are more than five thousand taels."
Lord Wan gritted his teeth.
"Five thousand taels of gold."
Gu Wei's voice was pleasant, and his smile was not visible in his eyes. "You are all smart people, so I will speak frankly. Beijiang and Nanzhao have always kept to themselves, but my Sinan has lost about fifty people recently. Does Nanzhao want to disrupt the peace between the two countries? Then I, Gu Wei, don't mind accompanying you."
