"You're right, but for now, we don't have the ability to open the gate to the Cloud Clan."
"I know."
The man in black robes spoke with a deep voice, “So, my first thought is to take revenge, to destroy the Yuwen royal family, and to make Yuwen Shu watch with his own eyes as the imperial power he wanted, which he had painstakingly saved through scheming and manipulation, gradually reappeared in his hands. This kind of despair is the best revenge.”
"So, this is the reason why Yingliang had the opportunity to kill his grandson over the years."
"Yes, I'll bring you to the city gates and strike at the heart of the enemy."
Xie Lingqin looked at the black robe. He was dressed in black and exuded a murderous aura. Suddenly, the quiet little house and the serene woods seemed to be filled with a sense of gloom.
"good."
Without any hesitation, Xie Lingqin nodded.
“I have been away from my clan for too long, and I was seriously injured one year. Now, I will come here to find a way to open the gates of the Cloud Clan and also to be your help.”
"good."
"Then you can leave." The man in black robes spoke directly. "To be honest, I don't have any good feelings towards you. After all, you are Nangong Xingyun's daughter. If it weren't for you, your mother wouldn't have died."
Xie Lingqin remained noncommittal, paused, and then asked, "Was Ning Yi trained?"
"Isn't this the best revenge against Xie Jun? His own son, the one he wanted to kill the most."
The man in black robes said, his voice sounding even more hoarse than usual, "Moreover, I have already heard that General Xie has led his troops to the border of Beirong."
Xie Lingqin nodded, “That’s right, but he already knows the truth. Xie Danling is not his biological son, and the Emperor has always known this but has not told him. Therefore, this thorn in my heart, General Xie, will always flare up.”
Xie Lingqin said "Far away," gave a slight bow, and turned to leave.
"Xie Lingqin".
The man in black robes looked at her and said, “I hope you will not disappoint those 50,000 Yun Clan members. They have been bound by hatred for more than ten years, and they have been unable to reunite with their families. Their hearts have been trampled and tortured. You should seek redemption for them.”
"I can."
Xie Lingqin said that the sound, the wind blowing, was the sound of honey being rubbed on the ground.
Qingxia silently followed Nan Lingqin's footsteps.
"Your name is Qingxia, that's not bad."
Nan Lingqin suddenly said.
Qingxia quickly lowered her head and asked in a gentle, refined voice, "Does the princess have something to say?"
"It's nothing, it's just that the way you stand here with your eyes down, not saying a word, reminds me of one of my girls from before."
"Then this servant is truly fortunate."
"Her name is Zihe."
Xie Lingqin said, "His whereabouts are still unknown."
After returning to the Zong government, Nan Lingqin made many decisions. These decisions were understated and not domineering, but they were enough to show people Nan Lingqin's determination to destroy Bei Rong.
...
A month has passed in the blink of an eye.
Nan Lingqin entered the Southern Qi ancestral hall and moved into the Princess's residence, officially announcing her entry to the world.
On the border between the Southern Qi and the Northern Rong, battles frequently broke out, with the Southern Qi winning most of the battles. The Southern Lingqin also reached the border.
Although the climate in Southern Qi was mild, the nights became increasingly chilly as spring approached.
Nan Lingqin's cough flared up again at this time. She took the prescription from Master Dong for several days without any effect. She was fine during the day, but she often had trouble sleeping at night.
Everyone advised Nan Lingqin to go to the capital to recuperate, but she remained standing there.
At this moment, in the central command tent, while everyone else wore only light armor, she added a heavy cloak. She was a woman as white as snow, with delicate hands and a calm demeanor, yet every command she gave was beyond the reach of others, leaving them in awe and admiration.
"Reporting to the Princess, there has been a sneak attack on the grain storage area in the west."
Someone came in to report.
Nan Lingqin's starry eyes turned slightly cool. "And then?"
"Then...then, when we arrived with our men, there was no movement at all, and the provisions were safe and sound. But just in case, I thought I'd come and report to the Princess and the generals."
Upon hearing this, the generals all began to ponder in secret.
If it can be called a sneak attack, then it's not baseless, but there's no trace of it at all, which is very strange.
"I'll go take a look."
Xie Lingqin stood up, and Qingxia, who had come to the border with her, hurriedly stepped forward and handed her the hot water bottle.
"Need not."
As Xie Lingqin spoke, she had already left the tent first.
Helpless, Qingxia could only silently put on the hand warmer and follow after him with a sigh.
These generals have all been immersed in military life for many years. Except for General Shen Yuan, they are all incredibly rough around the edges. The princess spends all her time here and lives a similar life...
