Nan Lingqin looked at the newcomer, her eyes narrowing. "Tell me in detail."
"Your Highness, someone has broken into our defensive territory and knocked out two guards. We then captured two bandits. However, Lord Hai said that these two had strong eyes and landed silently, unlike ordinary bandits. So, while we were investigating, I sent my subordinates to report this matter to Your Highness."
After speaking, the person stepped aside and waited for Nan Lingqin's instructions.
Nan Lingqin raised her finger and tapped lightly on the stone wall. After pondering for a while, she flicked her sleeve and said, "Lead the way."
It was late at night.
A cold wind howled through Qingye City.
Nan Lingqin looked around. More than a month ago, she stabbed Yuwen Yao here. It was also at that time that the Yun Clan's spiritual techniques began to grow within her body, making her more agile than before. A wall could be reduced to ashes in the blink of an eye. Who knows, one day she might be able to open the gates of the Yun Clan.
And in just one month, she had already captured the city.
In just one month, this place seems to have undergone a complete transformation.
"The New Year is coming soon."
As they passed each city gate, Nan Lingqin, enduring the howling cold wind, suddenly spoke.
Behind her, Qingxia lowered her head slightly, still remaining as taciturn as ever, pursing her lips slightly and softly replying, "Yes, Princess."
"Tell me, can we attack the Northern Rong Imperial City before New Year's Eve?"
Qingxia thought for a moment and replied, "This servant believes that the princess can definitely do it."
Nan Lingqin glanced at her, then looked away, smiled, and then looked at the person leading the way, urging them on, "Let's hurry up."
"yes."
Fifteen minutes later, Nan Lingqin arrived at a small hut.
Two men, handcuffed and shackled, huddled on the ground, shivering in the cold wind.
"Please...we won't do it again, please let us go..."
The two men pleaded for mercy in hushed tones.
Nan Lingqin took off her cloak, looked at the two of them, and then laughed, "Didn't your master tell you before he summoned you that as bandits, you must be willing to die rather than submit?"
Upon hearing Nan Lingqin's words, the two men paused, their eyes flashing slightly.
“Look at the way you're all curled up…”
Nan Lingqin shook her head again, her eyes sharp, "You really should go and pay homage to real bandits. Cowering like such sissies is a disgrace to them, you..."
Nan Lingqin raised an eyebrow and stepped forward. "You're the least favored by your master, so he sent you here?"
Nan Lingqin spoke each word with a seemingly light and smiling tone, but the domineering aura she exuded sent a chill down the spines of the two men. The things they were trying so hard to conceal were gradually exposed and destroyed.
"Alright, tell me, are you here to use a feint, or are you here to infiltrate and try to extract something?"
Nan Lingqin lightly flicked her fingertips, speaking casually, but as soon as she uttered those words, the two men's expressions changed; now they really didn't need to pretend anymore.
If you've been completely seen through, what's the point of pretending?
"A feint, a diversionary tactic."
One of the men mumbled something.
"Oh!"
Nan Lingqin immediately withdrew her gaze from the two of them and turned around.
The door is closed.
"It's been dealt with."
These three words came from Nan Lingqin's order.
On this cold night, the air was already thick with the color of blood.
Qingxia helped Nan Lingqin fasten her cloak.
The woman's fair face was revealed, like an elf in the dark night, yet it also exuded a kind of solemnity.
"Princess, shall we go back?"
They now stayed at the former garrison headquarters of Qingye City.
“No, tonight will not be peaceful.” Nan Lingqin smiled, her eyes full of meaning.
Sure enough, Tinghai returned with his men shortly afterward, saying that there were signs of people trying to break into the various formations that Nan Lingqin had set up at the various checkpoints of Qingye City, but they had not succeeded.
"Let's wait and see. I'd like to see who's so fearless."
After Nan Lingqin finished speaking, she turned and left with Qingxia.
Qingxia followed behind Nan Lingqin. Her plain face seemed to have something more about it than usual, but in the end she kept her mouth shut, lowered her eyelashes, and remained silent.
Having experienced it all, Tinghai was still worried and immediately followed.
"Miss, I will protect you personally tonight."
Tinghai is now a general, leading troops in battle with unparalleled bravery. Nan Lingqin glanced at him but did not object.
"Your Highness, the Iron General Battalion, which you specially separated earlier, has suddenly started fighting."
At this moment, a person rushed in to report, not daring to raise his head as he spoke.
Nan Lingqin's expression changed slightly. She immediately tapped her toes, and in an instant, before Tinghai and Qingxia could react, she had already disappeared from their sight.
The Iron General Camp was established by Nan Lingqin a few days ago. It brings together some soldiers with special skills in the army, allowing them to maximize their strengths so that they can be used by her and also truly showcase themselves.
When Nan Lingqin arrived at the Iron General Camp, the entire compound was desolate and dilapidated, and the air was filled with the stench of blood.
Then came the sounds of fierce fighting.
Nan Lingqin's eyes turned cold, and she immediately leaped in. With a flash of wind from her two palms, she separated the people who were fighting fiercely.
Like a pot of clear water poured down, it is like a refreshing awakening.
The people who had separated looked at the person opposite them, then at those beside them, and after a moment, at Nan Lingqin, who was dressed in white and stood there like a fairy descending to earth. They immediately knelt down in unison.
"Princess, please forgive us..."
Everyone looked embarrassed and stammered.
"Alright, enough said. It's not your fault. Someone set up a trap within a trap here to confuse you and cause you to fight each other."
