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

Nangong Yuan said, "Your Majesty once said that I am as brave as any man. In terms of fighting, I am as good as my brother."

"But your father just left. How can I let his daughter go to such a dangerous place? If something happens to you, how can I face him?"

Although the emperor was surprised, he had already begun to think about the feasibility of this matter.

There is no one available in the court, which is really a difficult situation.

If Nangong Yuan goes, it's not impossible.

But naturally, someone would make trouble because she is a woman and has never been on the battlefield.

This is not a difficult task, as everyone can see Nangong Yuan's martial arts and talents.

"Your Majesty, all the generals in the northwest were trained by my father. They may not be able to cooperate well with the other commanders. The situation is complicated now. We don't have time to choose a new commander to work with them. After all, the invasion of the Xisha Islands will not show mercy."

She appealed to his reasoning and said, "Besides, if I really can't do it, my brother Nangong Jin is in the southwest. He can rush thousands of miles to stop Xisha."

"My Nangong family has been dedicated to Dajing for generations. Even if it means death, we will stop them."

Looking at Nangong Yuan’s red and swollen eyes, the emperor fell silent.

He pinched his brows in annoyance: "This matter still needs to be discussed."

Nangong Yuan followed suit and said, "Your Majesty said before that he was willing to agree to a request from your humble servant. Now is the right time. Please think about it."

She retreated to a side hall, waiting for the emperor to make a decision at the court meeting.

Although this matter seemed a little strange, Nangong Yuan knew that she had a high chance of success.

The generals of the Nangong family were all trained by their family, and this large group of people only recognized General Nangong.

Besides...it's hard to say whether the rest of the people will be able to keep up the pressure if they go there.

If Nangong Yuan goes, this problem will be solved perfectly, and the generals will also lend their full support.

Even if Nangong Yuan doesn't know anything, they will try their best to defeat Xisha in order to protect the general's offspring.

If she goes, if she fails, the Nangong family will be punished. If she succeeds, there will be no loss, so why not do it?

So Nangong Yuan sat there, thought about all the pros and cons, and closed her eyes when she felt there was no big problem.

···········

Just as she thought, there was almost a huge quarrel up ahead.

The Censorate strongly opposed her going, saying that women would harm the country and were not capable of taking on such a heavy responsibility.

But when the emperor asked them to recommend talents, they were speechless and remained silent.

Some people also volunteered, but they were all fools, which made the emperor upset. It would be better to let Nangong Yuan go.

So... the morning meeting started early in the morning and was almost entirely spent on quarreling.

Some people say that Nangong Yuan overestimates his own abilities and still wants to be the head coach. It would be a good thing if he doesn't get beheaded by the Xisha people.

Some people also said that they were not kind enough to speak well. General Nangong had made great achievements in battle and his body was still warm. How could they treat someone else's daughter like this?

So, a new round of quarrels began.

Such noise is rare.

The emperor was so annoyed by the noise that he made the decision with a wave of his hand.

"Just let her go. No matter what, as long as the Northwest Border is safe, why should we be so particular about the difference between men and women?"

Once these words were spoken, it was difficult for the others to continue to refute them.

So the emperor asked the Ministry of War to take out the regulations, assemble 3,000 troops, and go to the border together.

Of course, a military supervisor is also indispensable. This person is prepared by the emperor. If something goes wrong, he will immediately issue an imperial decree to replace him with someone else as the commander-in-chief.

It was already afternoon when Nangong Yuan learned the news.

She couldn't sleep, so she leaned back in her chair and dozed off, always dreaming about how her father looked when he left.

The man was tall and had some graying hair, but he still looked very energetic.

When he left, he seemed to feel something and wanted to hug his daughter.

But later, he just patted Nangong Yuan on the shoulder, turned and left.

"Father!"

She woke up from her dream and was in a trance for a moment.

All this seems like a dream, but why haven’t I woken up yet?

The thought of this made her heart break.

Soon, a eunuch entered the room and said, "Miss Nangong..., His Majesty wants you to come over."

Nangong Yuan stood up and nodded: "Let's go."

She followed the eunuch to the front hall. The court officials had not yet left the court, and when they saw her come in, they all looked at her sideways.

But Nangong Yuan's expression remained unchanged. She stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty."

"Nangong, after discussing with the ministers, I think your proposal is good, so you can go."

Nangong Yuan bowed her head: "Your Majesty is wise."

"Go back. Gather three thousand soldiers tomorrow and lead them to the west."

"Yes."

He said he was going back to pack his things, but actually he was going back to let Nangong Yuan arrange the house.

When she returned, she also brought His Majesty's imperial edict.

The emperor issued an edict, posthumously conferring the title of first-rank loyal and righteous marquis on General Nangong, the title of first-rank imperial edict on Madam Shen, and the title of general Hongyin on his daughter Nangong Yuan, to lead the northwest military affairs.

When the news reached home, Mrs. Shen burst into tears.

"Mother, I'm sorry."

Madam Shen looked at her and said, "I told your father before that I would never let you step into this quagmire. I didn't expect that I would break my promise in the end."

"No, mother did nothing wrong, but I cannot allow others to hurt you. I will personally avenge this."

Nangong Yuan was wearing plain clothes, without any pearl hairpins on her head, and looked extremely pale.

"Mother, you are the only one left with my brother and I. You must stay alive and wait for us to come back, okay?"

Mrs. Shen had a very close relationship with the general and they had never had a quarrel. Now that Nangong Yuan had left, she was afraid that her mother would be confused.

"Okay, I'll wait for you..."

Nangong Yuan blinked and tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.

"Then it's settled. I will resolve this as soon as possible and come back to be with my mother."

She held Mrs. Shen's cold hand, her eyes red.

She had had almost no rest from last night until now and looked extremely pale and haggard.

Mrs. Shen couldn't stop crying and fainted several times.

But Nangong Yuan still had to leave.

"Miss, we caught a few thieves."

"Kill them all."

Tao Zhu nodded. Her eyes were red, but she still did things efficiently and effectively.

"I will be leaving Kyoto tomorrow. You must help me take good care of my mother while you are here."

"Don't worry, Miss. I will."

Nangong Yuan nodded, looking at her with some satisfaction: "Tao Zhu, you are finally able to stand on your own."

"Miss, I would rather stay with you forever and be that little girl."

“No one will never grow up. People will always watch helplessly as they lose their precious things. But this is not terrible, because only when you are knocked down will you lose everything.”

She touched Tao Zhu's head and said, "I believe we can all do it."
