Nan Lingqin also sat down and listened to him speak.
"I have never been interested in the war between Beirong and Nanqi, so I don't care much about winning over or containing Xixia. As for my father's orders, I have never felt that I have to do them..."
Nan Lingqin's gaze paused for a moment, then she heard Yuwen Shi continue, "And I also know that Bei Rong will definitely lose this battle, hehe..." Yuwen Shi looked at Nan Lingqin's puzzled eyes and chuckled, "Curious, aren't you? Because even if Nan Qi can't win, Yuwen Yao will make sure Nan Qi wins."
Nan Lingqin's brows furrowed. "Did you misunderstand something to say such a thing? Yuwen Yao is a ruler who values imperial power above all else. He has the vast land and the great rivers and mountains in his heart. Would he let Bei Rong be defeated?"
"Yes, you see, if you don't believe it, then naturally no one in the world will believe it either. After all, he hurt and suppressed you so much in the past, no normal person would forgive him."
"So, you've come here to act as Yuwen Yao's persuader?"
"No."
"So what exactly are you trying to say?"
"Don't you already have the answer in your heart?" As he said this, Yuwen Shi's gaze lingered on Nan Lingqin's lips, seemingly unintentionally.
Xie Lingqin disliked being scrutinized and tried to see through, and suddenly became angry. "I don't understand what you're talking about. I don't think you kidnapped me here just to tell me a story."
"certainly."
As soon as Yuwen Shi finished speaking, he suddenly made his move. He slammed a palm down towards Nan Lingqin.
Caught off guard, Nan Lingqin took the blow squarely, the impact so severe that her lungs throbbed with pain. She had to retreat to the back and lean against the wall to regain her balance.
“Although I admire you quite a bit, but…” Yuwen Shi slowly withdrew his hand, his face filled with desolation and pain, “Yuwen Qingyue is my sister, my sister from the same mother, my closest relative in this world, yet you killed her, Xie Lingqin, if I don’t hurt you, how can I face her?”
"Heh, so you're here to avenge Yuwen Qingyue."
Nan Lingqin sneered, "If Yuwen Qingyue hadn't provoked me, she wouldn't be dead. If I hadn't been more skilled and had a bit more luck, I wouldn't be standing here right now."
"Keguo, in the end, you killed her."
"If you really want to investigate, you can only investigate your good father, the emperor, for treating her so badly, yet she remained so blindly loyal. Of course, I am an irreconcilable enemy of your Yuwen royal family, no doubt about it."
"Qingyue...she was very good to me..."
Yuwen Shi seemed lost in his memories, and his overall spirits seemed to have diminished considerably.
"Someone come here."
Yuwen Shi suddenly gave an order to someone in the shadows, and someone immediately stepped forward.
Nan Lingqin looked at these people, all dressed as Thunder Guards. They had been keeping watch in the shadows the whole time, otherwise she would have run away long ago. At this moment, she chuckled, "The news before said that you were the commander of the Thunder Guards of Beirong. Now it seems that it really is true."
Upon hearing this, Yuwen Shi's eyes darkened. He didn't say anything, but his tone suddenly turned somber. "Take her away. Don't give her water or food."
"yes."
Nan Lingqin didn't struggle. Before anyone could come forward, she stepped forward herself and looked at Yuwen Shi, "Where's Zou Xun?"
"Heh, it's quite remarkable that he treated you like that. You really do have some conscience. Don't worry, he's still alive and well. But I was afraid he would ruin my plans, so I left him in Xixia."
Nan Lingqin breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
"However, I must say that Qin Xun did a lot for you, even trying to assassinate the Crown Prince of Xixia to frame Bei Rong, but fortunately I stopped him."
Thank you.
Nan Lingqin breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you for stopping him."
He didn't want anything to happen to Qin Xun.
"However, may I ask one more question? Have you met the heir of the Xuanyuan Royal Family, Xuanyuan Du, in Western Xia?"
"No, it's said that he went traveling somewhere."
"play?"
Nan Lingqin's expression was solemn. With the two countries at war, and given her friendship with Xuan Yuandu, would he have the mind to go sightseeing?
...
Nan Lingqin has disappeared, but the news has not been released to the outside world.
The battle between the Southern Qi and the Northern Rong was still ongoing.
Beirong suffered a series of crushing defeats.
The Northern Emperor was furious and sent down a series of secret letters. However, Yuwen Yao didn't read a single one and instead threw them directly to General Xie.
...
Barbarians.
The war between the Southern Qi and the Northern Rong did not spread to them, but the barbarians were not at peace.
An Shangning and Zhuidamu developed an irreparable rift because of the day he caused Nan Lingqin to fall off a cliff.
Regardless of what Zhuidamu did or said, Anshang remained calm and composed in his responses. He was neither distant nor overly familiar, and spoke politely.
This attitude finally became unbearable for Zyudamu, who barged into her tent.
"An Shangning, marry me, and we'll help Nan Qi and deal with Bei Rong together. When Nan Lingqin attacks Bei Rong, you can go up and kill the emperor. Your revenge will be complete, wouldn't that be wonderful!"
"What does all of this have to do with me marrying you?"
"If you marry me, the barbarians will listen to you, and I will treat you well."
An Shangning's face was as cold as frost. "Zhuidamu, we are not on the same path. There can only be cooperation based on shared interests between us, and there will never be any true feelings or love between us."
"You clearly had feelings for me before, and you even came to save me all by yourself."
"But it was a heart that was barely beating, and you trampled it to death."
"An Shangning!"
