"Have you found the emperor's daughter?" he asked anxiously, looking at Xinan.
"Not yet. His Majesty has been sending people to look for Your Highness, but there is no news."
Father Jin sighed, "Alas, I don't know where this child has ended up. Prime Minister Xi, how do you plan to retake Jiangnan this time?"
Xinan smiled faintly. "Old Master, I plan to first understand the various forces and sentiments of Jiangnan. Then, I plan to communicate with the local prominent families and officials, publicize Your Majesty's policies and benevolence, and strive to bring Jiangnan to its knees without bloodshed. I hope you can assist me in this endeavor."
Father Jin nodded and said, "Of course, I will definitely help you. I have connections with all the major families in Jiangnan, and I can help you connect with them."
With the help of her father, Xinan began negotiations with the various factions in Jiangnan. Using her wisdom and eloquence, she explained the strength and friendship of the Shangjin Kingdom and the benefits of submitting to it. After some effort, most of the factions in Jiangnan expressed their willingness to submit to the Shangjin Kingdom.
In the end, Xinan recaptured Jiangnan without bloodshed.
Xinan went to bid farewell to Mr. Jin before leaving.
"Old man, before leaving, His Majesty instructed us to move the Jin family's assets to Cangwu City. Cangwu City is now even more prosperous than the former capital."
Father Jin waved his hand. "No, I've been in Jiangnan for most of my life, and I'm used to it. Let's leave the Jin family's legacy here. Jiangnan belongs to my daughter now, and no one will embarrass me."
Xinan nodded in agreement and said, "Old man, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, feel free to send someone to Cangwu City to inform His Majesty." Father Jin agreed with a smile.
"His Majesty said that if the Jin family has any talented young people, they can go to her and she will arrange for them to become officials."
"Well, I also plan to send Jin Ke and Jin Si to Cangwu City. They both passed the imperial examinations and can help his sister."
Xinan waved his hand and took out a box from his follower:
"I'll tell His Majesty that the two Young Masters Jin can come over anytime. Old Master, this is the nourishing medicine His Majesty found for you. Be sure to take it. If you run out, I'll bring you more."
Father Jin took the medicine box and was deeply moved: "My daughter is so thoughtful. Tell her to govern the country well and don't worry about me."
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Xinan led his men out of Jiangnan and rode back to Cangwu City at full speed. Upon returning to the capital, Xinan immediately went to the palace to report to Jin Linlin.
When Jin Linlin heard that Jiangnan was successfully recovered, she was very pleased and rewarded Xinan greatly.
