With the agenda finalized, Ning Xi'er returned to the northern border to make deployment arrangements.
Xie Zhun was stationed in the desolate area, maintaining control of the rear.
Qin Yuan, along with Zheng Chengguang, led over two hundred elite troops to the capital...
Cooperating with Ning Xi'er to rescue the ministers and stabilize the situation in the court...
The remaining elite troops were all transferred back to the wasteland to protect Xie Zhun and the others.
"No, wait for me to settle things in the North, then we'll set off together..."
Ning Xi'er suggested, "Even with the fastest horse, it will still take half a month to arrive..."
Too late!
Qin Yuan wanted to say that he would master helicopter piloting skills as soon as possible, so that even if there weren't enough seats, he could make multiple trips...
"It's not just a matter of speed..."
Ning Xi'er said that even if they arrived early, they wouldn't be able to use invisibility or spatial abilities...
With the palace heavily guarded, it's unlikely that the court officials can be rescued successfully.
Rather than that, we might as well set off together.
With over two hundred people, if a transport plane were to dock here directly...
Even if the stationed troops turn a blind eye, the State of Qi might still take action...
More importantly, Ning Xi'er had other plans.
She once casually asked Wei Xunfang for advice, and the latter's attitude had become much more normal...
Upon learning of Ning Xi'er's plans and seeing her confident demeanor, he finally cupped his hands and bowed deeply to her.
If that could be achieved, it would be like adding wings to a tiger...
For Ning Xi'er, it was not difficult.
The difficulty is that there's too little time...
Border risks are high, internal and external troubles abound, and war is imminent...
They couldn't afford to be careless, but in such a vast court, they had too few people they could mobilize...
"It will be alright."
Xie Zhun slightly raised his chin, and his words reassured everyone present.
Xie Zhun finally agreed to Ning Xi'er's suggestion. The two didn't even have time to say goodbye before Ning Xi'er quickly disappeared from sight.
Back in the North, it was already fully light...
Another day has passed.
Ning Xi'er arrived at her eldest brother's tent, and her second brother, Ning Xu, also rushed back.
After discussing the situation, Ning Xi'er emphasized Xie Zhun's plan...
This time, Ning Che's attitude was firm, without the slightest hesitation.
"Compared to my own principles, when faced with the safety of the people and the stability of the court..."
What does my little bit of persistence amount to?
My sister is right; you can't draw two "thank you" characters in one stroke...
Moreover, His Highness was the rightful heir; if his body hadn't been maliciously harmed...
He is now sitting on the throne. Furthermore…”
Ning Che looked at Ning Xi'er, seeing her running around so much, the dark circles under her eyes, and felt both heartache and self-reproach...
"My sister is on Prince Cheng's side, and my family is already out of danger. What right do I have to consider my own little insistence?"
Besides, I'm not alone. I have to consider my subordinates' needs more...
They are lives lost, lives sacrificed to guard the border, leaving behind their families to protect their country!
At this moment, the imperial court only sees them as live targets, ready to be sacrificed at any time to deal with Ning Che...
Even if they had been stationed there for ten years, diligently protecting the northern border, it could still be ceded...
Ning Xi'er nodded. Between siblings, these things naturally don't need much explanation.
"Brother, I can only stay here for two days at most."
Although the imperial court has withdrawn 40,000 troops, we are not entirely without a chance of victory!
Ning Che and Ning Xu knew that they had unwavering faith in their sister's abilities.
The weapons in the sister's space were shown to them from the very beginning.
"Of the remaining ten thousand people, how many are trustworthy?"
Ning Xi'er looked at her two elder brothers.
"All of them!"
Ning Che's eyes shone with confidence. Although his deputy dared not disobey the imperial decree, he led 40,000 soldiers to the capital...
But their hearts still sided with Ning Che, among those they chose...
They took away almost all the new recruits and those who were restless.
The rest are considered the main force of the northern garrison and are trustworthy.
Ning Xi'er felt slightly comforted.
"Sister, how should we defend ourselves now?"
Second Brother Ning Xu asked.
Although Ning Che had his own concerns, he also wanted to hear his sister's opinion.
"Hold on......"
Ning Xi'er summoned two drones from her spatial storage.
He personally launched the plane, then instructed his two older brothers from inside the tent, each taking control of their own aircraft...
Ning Che and Ning Xu were utterly astonished by this flying "thing"...
Especially when you see it flying over the border, with the Jin army camp below coming into view...
I was pleasantly surprised.
"Be careful, don't go too low, lest you be spotted..."
Ning Xi'er cautioned that the Jin army's crossbows were not to be underestimated.
"I'll go invisible and scout out the Jin army..."
Ning Che and Ning Xu, their heads buried in the drone controllers, looked up and warned, "Be careful!"
Ning Xi'er immediately became invisible and crossed the border...
Completely unexpected, danger is approaching...
