But Yuwen Yao, you chose not to use the Cloud Technique?
Your good father used every means to try and get me, hoping to obtain the art of resurrection from me and to uncover the secrets of the Yun Clan. And you, you were so close, yet you gave up?!
Nan Lingqin dismissed the messenger, leaving the tent empty.
Not long after, Nan Fenghuang rushed in and handed her a letter.
"What?"
Nan Lingqin asked.
"Written for you by your old flame."
Old flame?
Nan Lingqin frowned, then suddenly understood. She found the letter that Huo Xi had sealed and unfolded it.
Nan Lingqin smiled as she read ten lines at a glance.
This father is truly... a doting father.
"They probably asked you how you were doing and told you a lot of funny stories, or maybe they were pressuring you to get married..."
On the side, Nan Fenghuang, though clearly concerned, pretended to be indifferent and muttered to herself.
Nan Lingqin looked at her and said, "Cheer up. I've at least gotten the man you like into your life, so be polite to me."
Nanfeng...
"Okay, thank you."
"You haven't eaten him yet?"
Nan Lingqin suddenly asked.
Nan Fenghuang paused for a moment, then raised her chin, "You think I'm like you, that I have this ability..."
Before she could finish speaking, Nan Fenghuang's expression changed, and she covered her mouth.
"Yes, you are indeed not as capable as me. Back then, when I got Yuwen Yao, it was quite... simple."
Nan Lingqin paused for a moment, but she was not angry or showed any unusual emotions. Then, she still insisted on handing the letter to Nan Fenghuang, saying, "Here, this old lover has also spoken to you. Go and see it."
"Well, at least this father has some conscience. I remember that besides a daughter named Nan Lingqin, he also had a daughter named Nan Fenghuang."
Nan Lingqin took the letter and said, "You also have a conscience. Of course, Yu Qingyi also has a conscience. His injuries have almost healed, and he didn't even think about running away. I feel like he's a beauty I've been keeping hidden away."
"Yes, that's right."
"I was just saying it casually, and my intention was to get you to refute it."
"I know."
Nan Lingqin said slowly and deliberately.
Nan Fenghuang pouted, "Then why don't you cooperate a little?"
"In no mood."
"It's boring."
Nan Fenghuang put away the letter, turned around and left the camp.
Nan Lingqin seemed to be deep in thought.
She thought Yu Qingyi would leave.
After all, in his heart, national righteousness must have outweighed personal feelings.
"Miss Lingqin."
At this moment, An Zhongtinghai and Minglan appeared together.
Xie Lingqin looked at the two of them, "Did you find anything at Bei Rong?"
The two of them didn't look too good. They listened to Hai Dao say, "Miss Ling Qin, many things have happened in Bei Rong, big and small, one after another, one after another..."
"continue."
"Some people suddenly get promoted, but when they return home they find their wives dead and their children missing; some disappear on the way, as if they've vanished into thin air; some die in gruesome ways, like a vendetta, but the other party was just an ordinary farmer; and... the Minister of War suddenly fell ill and is now bedridden. Minglan and I personally investigated and confirmed that he is truly ill, and his condition is critical; he could die at any moment. Moreover... the Minister of War's tongue seems to be missing a piece, and he can no longer speak..."
Nan Lingqin's expression tightened as she looked at the two of them. "Anything else?"
"Yes, in my and Minglan's detailed investigation, we found that all of this seems to be related to the unexplained disappearances of people in the capital and surrounding cities in recent days."
"Missing?"
“Yes, Miss, this news is completely unknown unless you look closely. People have been going missing one after another in Beirong Capital and the surrounding cities, including men, women and children.”
"Then, has there been any movement from the Beirong Imperial Palace?"
"Miss, no. It is said that the Northern Emperor only issued an edict to hand over the war with the Southern Qi to the Crown Prince, and then he went to court on time every day to listen to reports. Everything seems to be the same as before."
As Nan Lingqin listened to Tinghai's words, her expression gradually darkened.
"no the same."
Nan Lingqin looked at Tinghai and Minglan and said, "Who is the Northern Emperor? He's an old fox. And the capital is right under his nose. Even if he doesn't know, his spies and his Thunder Guards will tell him. And for an emperor to have people missing and the Minister of War seriously ill during a war between two countries, this is not a good sign. The emperor shouldn't be inactive."
"So, Miss Lingqin, what you mean is..."
"You may all step back."
Nan Lingqin's eyes narrowed slightly, and after giving an order, she left the camp and went to the city garrison.
Yu Qingyi and Nan Fenghuang have also been staying here recently.
"Yu Qingyi, are you aware that Bei Rong has caused trouble?"
Pushing the door open, Nan Lingqin got straight to the point.
Yu Qingyi was reading inside when he heard this, and his expression changed. "But it's that taciturn guy..."
"Someone from Beirong has gone missing and died under mysterious circumstances."
Yu Qingyi's handsome face clearly showed a stunned expression.
"It seems you know."
Nan Lingqin affirmed.
Yu Qingyi paused for a moment, then nodded.
Nan Lingqin remained silent for a moment, then turned and walked away.
"Yu Qingyi..."
After taking a few steps, Nan Lingqin suddenly turned around and called him. Her eyes were so deep and clear that they made Yu Qingyi pause in surprise. When he met Nan Lingqin's gaze, it seemed that at this moment, under her gaze, he could do nothing, move nothing, and everything in his heart was seen through.
This is...
Is it a unique technique of the Cloud Clan?
Yu Qingyi's heart froze.
Why didn't Yuwen Yao kill the Northern Emperor?
Nan Lingqin asked in a deep voice.
Yu Qingyi was stunned, her body still, but her eyes were filled with turbulent waves because of this sentence.
