As Nan Lingqin spoke, she glanced around at the mess and bloodstains, and the dozens of corpses. Her face darkened. "Bury them all, give them a proper burial, make sure their families are safe, and you all go down and bandage them up immediately. This matter is over for tonight."
"Thank you, Princess, for not pursuing this matter."
Several hundred soldiers kowtowed and saluted Nan Lingqin. They were all soldiers and officers, well-trained, and quickly finished the task and withdrew.
The ground was cleaned in an instant, but the stench of blood in the air constantly reminded Nan Lingqin that dozens of people had died.
When Tinghai arrived, Nan Lingqin had already walked out of the Iron General's camp.
His figure was as serene and distant as a high mountain.
"Miss, where would you like to go?"
"Catch the thief."
Nan Lingqin said, her tone icy.
Listening to the sea, his expression serious.
"Listen to the sea..."
Nan Lingqin suddenly stopped and looked at him. "Tell me, what was Yuwen Yao's intention in sending you to my side to protect me?"
Tinghai was taken aback.
First, Nan Lingqin brought up the Crown Prince of Beirong. Then, she asked him about this matter. Over the past few days, ever since he learned the truth and that Yuwen An had slaughtered his Zhang family, he had been thinking, since he wanted to control him and keep him by his side, why did he send him to Miss Lingqin's side?
Isn't this a very risky approach?
Moreover, now that I think about it, it all seems like it was all preordained, from Miss Lingqin entering the Heavenly Mystery Hall to him obtaining information about the Zhang family.
"Moreover, back then..."
Nan Lingqin looked at Tinghai with a cautious and distant gaze. "Xu Yiran said that back then, Yuwen Yao, at the age of eight, single-handedly broke into the Heavenly Mystery Hall and destroyed a lot of information there. This shows his ability. In other words, even though he knew that you were the adopted son of the Zhang family and were determined to avenge the Zhang family, he did not go to the Heavenly Mystery Hall to destroy all the information about the Zhang family. Wasn't that leaving himself with hidden dangers?"
Hearing the news from the sea, he was startled. Yes, this was something he had never been able to understand.
The only explanation is...
“Miss Lingqin, could it be that the Crown Prince has been thinking of staying away from you ever since then…”
Listen to the sea whisper.
"right."
Nan Lingqin's eyes suddenly flashed with a cold smile, "Tell me, is he sincere towards me, or is he just using me?"
The sea fell silent.
"Let's go, who knows what might happen later."
Sure enough, as soon as Nan Lingqin finished speaking, Xu Yiran appeared in person under the cover of night.
"Xiao Qin, the most hidden pass in the west corner has been breached. No one was injured, but there are signs of a breached formation."
Nan Lingqin seemed unsurprised. Meeting Xu Yiran's somewhat complex and dark gaze, she remained composed. "Just now, the Iron General Camp was bewildered by the formation within a formation, turning on each other and killing dozens of people. But here... since they were able to break the formation at the pass, they are no ordinary people. They could easily have solved nine out of ten formations and broken the other formations, throwing Qingye City into chaos. But they didn't, and didn't even hurt a single person. That's quite interesting..."
Nan Lingqin looked stunned, lost in thought.
Xu Yiran looked at Nan Lingqin, her clear eyes filled with a hint of melancholy.
Ever since she injured Yuwen Yao that day and her spiritual power exploded, Xiao Qin seemed to have changed. She would laugh and talk, and sometimes she seemed just as happy as before.
However, the mist around her, and in her eyes, seemed to have thickened even more, as if she didn't want to be seen.
She shut herself off completely.
Before the others could make a move, Nan Fenghuang's iconic red figure landed instantly, her beautiful eyes sparkling with a hint of unease.
"Nan Lingqin, someone broke in and just fought with me."
"Have you figured out the way?"
Nan Lingqin asked.
"They're all deadly moves."
Nan Fenghuang said with a slightly cold expression, "It seems that Bei Rong has lost many times in a row and now he wants to turn the tables."
"Take it back?"
Nan Lingqin sneered, "What's in my hands can't be returned. I'm determined to have Qingye City, and I'm determined to have Beirong as well."
A single, gentle sentence, drifting in the cold night, carries such profound weight.
Xu Yiran just stared blankly at Nan Lingqin, while Nan Fenghuang sighed, which was rare for her, and her tone was somewhat discouraging, "I always feel that Xie Danling doesn't want to be the emperor, but you'll probably have to be the empress."
Such audacious and mind-blowing statement could probably only be uttered by the daughter of Nangong Xingyun, a modern time traveler.
Xu Yiran was visibly stunned for a moment. Looking at Nan Lingqin's slightly taken aback expression, he suddenly felt that a distance was beginning to grow between him and Xiaoqin.
No, perhaps, the distance has always been there.
He could never find the entrance to reach her heart.
"He will become emperor."
Nan Lingqin said nothing more and walked forward first.
"Hey, where are you going? Someone broke in, and we still haven't caught them."
"I'll go catch it right now."
Nan Fenghuang was taken aback, then took a few steps to catch up. "Do you know where it is?"
About half an hour later.
Nan Lingqin stood at the main gate of the city garrison, and in front of her stood nearly a hundred soldiers in battle armor, their backs straight and upright.
“I have set up arrays all around this city, and everything has been fine for the past few days. But just now, someone broke in silently. Not only did it take no effort, but it was as if they knew the way inside. So, we have a traitor here.”
Once the people were gathered, Nan Lingqin was very direct.
As soon as Nan Lingqin finished speaking, all around fell silent. Everyone looked at Nan Lingqin with a mixture of confusion and shock.
“And those of you present here were the ones I ordered to set up the formation.”
