Now the person sent by the emperor to hand over the affairs is still in the next yard, and he would probably be noticed if he made any movement.

Thinking of this, Xiao Heyun's expression became a little ugly.

"This matter is very strange. We must investigate it thoroughly no matter what. Send someone to Hongzhou when the time comes."

Li Jin nodded: "Yes, I will arrange it right away, but Your Majesty, after this incident, are we still going back to Kyoto?"

The Nangong family is now walking on thin ice, and all his efforts may be in vain.

But he shook his head: "Of course I have to go back. Now that things have come to this, there is no way to survive if I retreat."

Besides, he naturally had other things to do when he returned to Kyoto, not just for Nangong Yuan.

It was just that Nangong Yuan was planning a marriage proposal, so he had to return earlier.

But now it seems that maybe I don't need to keep chasing him and waiting for a promise.

What he wanted was complete control, so that no matter how much she escaped or retreated, she could only stay by his side.

···········

"Yes, then I will ask the people in Kyoto to protect Mrs. Shen. There are not many people in the Nangong family now, and I am afraid someone will target him."

Xiao Heyun nodded: "Well, be careful. If something like this happens, the situation in Kyoto will not be peaceful."

Thinking of this, he paused slightly.

In this case, should he quickly resolve the Qingzhou issue and return, or wait a little longer?

This is a difficult problem. If he doesn't go back, he can still take some time to go to Hongzhou to see her. But if he goes back, it will probably be difficult for the two of them to meet.

But...does Nangong Yuan still need him now?

Xiao Heyun selfishly thought that she needed comfort and protection, but when he saw how determined she was to go to the battlefield, he realized that perhaps she could do anything.

She is not a bird in a cage, but the sharpest knife in the world, able to fight for everything she wants.

This is Nangong Yuan.

"A Yuan...you...I hope everything is going well for you."

He wanted to protect Nangong Yuan and make a promise to her.

But he was also keenly aware that Nangong Yuan was still retreating silently in such warmth, as if he was unwilling to accept it all.

He still doesn't know why.

However, they still have time to think about the reasons behind this.

Moreover, now that General Nangong was born, she would definitely not indulge in love affairs.

What Xiao Heyun has to do now is not to run over to comfort her, but to build a place for herself in Kyoto so that she can spread her wings and fly high.

"I'm sorry, A Yuan. Please wait for me. Soon I will have everything and you won't have to fight alone."

But in Nangong Yuan's view, she was not alone.

Because soon, the southwestern garrison arrived.

This group of people were Nangong Jin's trusted confidants, and their purpose was to protect Nangong Yuan.

When they arrived in Hongzhou, they thought the situation would be chaotic, but they didn't expect that everything seemed to be in order.

Even if there is some minor confusion, it doesn't affect anything.

"Everyone, please come in. The general is still in the training grounds. You can stay here first."

There are more than a hundred people coming. Any more would exceed the specifications. After all, Nangong Jin is a general and cannot transfer military personnel to other places at will.

So he thought of a way and sent the people around him out.

In this case, it is not a problem.

Chen Anyue, Nangong Jin's confidant, looked at the strict military discipline around him, and then at the solemnity of the people in Hongzhou Prefecture who were on high alert, and felt a little strange.

"It doesn't look like they've lost their head coach. They're more disciplined than before."

The general beside him also nodded: "Yes, it's comparable to our southwest garrison."

If you tell others that this is a team that has lost its head coach and the new coach has been in office for less than two months, everyone will be shocked.

"By the way, where is the old general's mourning hall?"

Someone on the side looked at it and said, "I don't know about this matter. If you want to know, just wait until the general comes back and ask."

Such vigilance made Chen Anyue feel a little uneasy.

After waiting for a whole morning, I finally met Nangong Yuan at noon.

A team of light cavalry arrived at the door. He stood up to greet them and saw a man approaching.

She was wearing a very light outfit with her cuffs tied tightly with straps, and a black cloak on her body, but her face was fair and beautiful.

After not seeing her for many days, she lost some of the delicate feeling of a Kyoto boudoir. She looked sharp and majestic, with a faint sense of oppression that made people feel palpitating.

"Miss."

Nangong Yuan nodded; "Brother sent you here? I heard about it on the way."

"We are ordered to protect the young lady, and we will do it even if it means death."

She reached out her hand to help him up and said, "You don't have to do this. I know my brother loves me, but there are some things that I have to take responsibility for."

"Miss·········."

"Here, please call me General."

Chen Anyue looked at the familiar soldiers beside him and said, "Yes, General."

"My father's funeral hall has not been vacated. If you want to go and burn incense, go ahead. I still have some military affairs to deal with. Come find me later."

Chen Anyue nodded: "Yes, I will also burn some incense for you, young master."

After saying that, Nangong Yuan took his people away.

There was no sadness or sorrow on her face, and sometimes she even had a faint smile on her face, but this made people even sadder.

"I didn't expect that after not seeing you for so many days, the young lady has been transformed. What a pity...if the general were here."

Everyone looked at each other, feeling very sad.

But then, Kyoto also announced to the world that General Nangong had died on the battlefield and was named Marquis Zhongyi.

This was the title of marquis that was bought with blood and lives. Nangong Yuan received the imperial edict and placed it high in the hall, looking very calm.

"General, the Marquis's body has been lying around for a long time. Although it's not easy to have any problems now that the weather is cold, it still needs to be buried."

Nangong Yuan asked someone to give the body special treatment so that it would not easily decay, but this was not a long-term solution.

"I know, but my father would definitely want to see our great victory, so I wanted him to take a look."

"What the general said makes sense, but no matter what, the marquis will not blame you."

Nangong Yuan curled her lips and smiled: "Yes, father never blames me for this."

She looked so smiling, yet so sad.

"Old Chen and his men have gone to burn incense. They should be here soon. How do you plan to accommodate them, General?"

Nangong Yuan clapped her hands and said, "Let's wait and see. I also want to know if the Southwest Garrison has any special methods, such as how to deal with these Xisha people."

After a few games, the opponent also changed its tactics.

Not only did he spend a lot of money to buy new leather armor, but he also brought a shield, which made the barbed gun less effective.
