After I captured the wrong male lead, I broke off the engagement and married the villain

After returning, Nangong Yuan called Tao Zhu over.

"Miss, what's wrong?"

She was busy with secret guard matters these days, so she wasn't with her much.

"I want to know the specific situation in Hongzhou now. Ask someone to check it out. If there is any movement, tell me immediately."

Tao Zhu nodded: "Yes, but Miss can just ask the general directly. Didn't he just come back from Hongzhou?"

"I want to know all the information. My father doesn't allow me to get involved too much in this matter. I always feel that there is something else going on."

If he were there, those generals would not tell the truth.

Hearing this, Tao Zhu said, "Okay, I'll arrange for someone to go there right away. However, the snow in Hongzhou is heavier and colder than ours. I'm afraid it will take more than a month or two to find out the news."

Nangong Yuan said that she knew, but her expression showed an anxiety that she couldn't hide.

The news was naturally the latest and more accurate. She wanted to know, but was excluded. This feeling was indeed not pleasant.

"Just go, and we'll talk about it when the time comes."

Tao Zhu nodded and agreed, and then said, "It's almost the New Year, I want to let them have a rest, what do you think, Miss?"

"They haven't even started yet, so there's no need to be so nervous. I'll give them 1,000 taels of silver from my private treasury as a New Year's gift."

Nangong Yuan was never stingy when it came to his subordinates. As long as he had money, he would give them the best weapons and medicines.

Of course, the results are also obvious.

This group of young people have only been in our family for a short time, but they have already shown their own talents.

In time, he will definitely be her right-hand man and be of great help.

"Yes, I'll do it together."

After Tao Zhu finished speaking, he put on his coat and went out. At this moment, the snow outside had stopped and people were sweeping the snow.

Nangong Yuan sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the red plum blossoms covered with snow outside, her expression somewhat serious.

Although she didn't know the current situation in Hongzhou, she could learn from General Nangong that the situation was not optimistic.

"When did Xisha become so desperate that he could force my father to retreat to the city gate? What happened?"

At that time, she stayed in Hongzhou for a period of time and became familiar with the marching route.

Therefore, the Xisha Islands should not be able to turn over the mountain. Such a huge consumption cannot be accomplished overnight.

"Strange."

She pinched the corner of the table a little anxiously, but her expression was as cold as ever.

[Ding ding, congratulations to the host, Shen Jing has been cleared of all charges, 300 points of reward, and a plot advancement card.]

Nangong Yuan came back to her senses and said, "Okay, I understand. Are there no other tasks?"

She stayed at home for too long and was indeed feeling a little bored.

[Currently there is only the main quest. The host has already met the side quest standard and does not need to do it anymore. However, if you want to do the quest to earn points, I can also help you. ]

The mechanical electronic sound of the system could not convey any emotion. Nangong Yuan said, "Wait a little longer. It's almost the New Year. I'd better take a good rest."

【Hello host, I wish you a happy new year. 】

She hadn't heard these words for a long time.

Nangong Yuan was stunned, and suddenly realized that she seemed to have been here for a long time.

This is her fourth year in this world.

If the main mission of the strategy must be completed within five years, it means that she will have to wait for another four years before she can go back.

"Hey, when can I complete the task?"

The system did not urge him, but simply replied, "The target's favorability is already very high, so the host does not need to worry."

Now she just needs to maintain her current favorability and wait for the final plot to unfold.

[And the host now has two plot advancement cards, you can use them if time is too long.]

Nangong Yuan frowned: "What is the use of the plot advancement card?"

[Time can be accelerated in this world, the longest being one year, the shortest being half a month.]

“This is truly an incredible skill, like... a setting in the game world.”

The system showed a seemingly innocent smile: [It's OK. If there were no attackers, our connection with this world wouldn't be deep enough, so we couldn't do it. But the host is here, and with the medium, we can do it.]

"I see."

Nangong Yuan thought that the system was really intelligent, but at the same time, she felt that it was unnecessary to advance the plot now.

Many things cannot be solved by simply speeding up.

She thought about it and decided not to use these cards.

Fortunately, the system didn't say anything, but just asked her to keep in touch with Xiao Heyun to avoid any problems.

This is her main task, and Nangong Yuan certainly will not forget it.

After coming here, the points, gold coins, and various props obtained from completing tasks can all be used.

Some can even be redeemed for real-world items.

Nangong Yuan thought about it and felt relieved that even if she left here, she would be a wealthy woman.

"I'm not good at making money, so it's better to spend it slowly."

Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen Liu Qingyue for a long time.

"I don't know how she is doing. She should be even busier during the New Year."

Fortunately, Liu Qingyue's family holds a low-ranking official position, so there are not so many people to entertain during the New Year.

In the evening, Nangong Yuan went to Yuehui Pavilion and met her by chance.

"Happy New Year, sister. You're here? Why didn't you tell me?"

Nangong Yuan said, "I just came here on a whim to take a look. What are you doing?"

"I'm designing new products for the Chinese New Year. This year is the Year of the Dragon, so I can start here and sell them at a high price. How do you think?"

Hearing this, Nangong Yuan said, "That's great, but will it be in time? New Year's Day is only a few days away."

"I've got time. I made a batch before, and I wanted to do something different with this one today, so I was delayed."

She inserted the charcoal pencil into her hair and asked Nangong Yuan to sit down and have tea.

"It's cold outside. The weather has been getting colder these days."

"It's OK. I'm not particularly afraid of the cold."

After all, she is a martial artist, her body is full of internal energy, so she doesn't feel uncomfortable.

"That's great. I'm very afraid of the cold, so I've been carrying a hot water bottle with me these past few days."

Fortunately, the store had a floor heater, so it was very warm.

She was wearing a goose yellow dress and her pretty face looked very tender.

"Take your time. Do you have any idea?"

She handed the blueprint to Nangong Yuan and said, "Dragon-shaped dolls and pendants, and there are several styles."

"But these are useless."

"It's okay. I changed it to a Q version. It looks like a Qilin. It's okay."

This change is actually very cute.

Nangong Yuan nodded in response, and couldn't help laughing when she saw her lowering her head to write and draw again.

"You're too busy."

"It's okay. I'm used to it. Besides, it's better to be my own boss than to work for others."

She had no resentment at all. Instead, she was very excited. She took out her new product and showed it to Nangong Yuan. She looked very excited.
