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

The situation in Hongzhou was stable, and it was not as disastrous a defeat as everyone had imagined.

This made those who wanted to make fun of the Nangong family unable to sit still.

After all, just when the military power was about to be divided, a little woman suddenly came along and ruined everything.

Naturally, some people are very unwilling.

"If you ask me, what can a woman do? Maybe the generals under the Marquis favor her and spread false news."

"That's right. How could Nangong Yuan, who was kept in seclusion in the inner chamber, go to the battlefield? And win? How is that possible!"

Some people in the court discussed in low voices and sneered.

Shen Jing, who was standing by, had heard this and said, "Before he left, His Majesty sent a military supervisor and three thousand soldiers. If it was really fake, how could His Majesty not know?"

The sounds of people talking and laughing quieted down.

"Alas, why do you have to be so serious, my Lord Minister? We are just chatting and joking."

"Oh? General Hongyin, who was personally appointed by His Majesty Tan Xiao, said that her military achievements were fake? That's really eye-opening."

Some people were angry and embarrassed about this.

"Minister Shen has a relationship with the Nangong family? Why is he protecting her so much? We didn't see her actually win the fight."

"So you can slander others with empty words. It is a shame to serve in the same palace with people like you."

Shen Jing's words were merciless, making the other party look angry.

But they didn't dare to cause a conflict because of this.

"The Marquis died fighting for his country, and his daughter inherited his will and followed Mulan's example by joining the army. If this can be criticized, then I really don't know how you can be so tolerant."

He looked at the other person with contempt, and said nothing more after that.

The other party could not refute and could only snort coldly; "What a despicable person."

·······

No matter how much noise there is in the court, the war continues.

Nangong Yuan recorded every battle and submitted it to the report in order to avoid being caught.

The report had the official seal, the military supervisor's seal, and the signature. Each copy was authentic. She kept one copy for herself and submitted one to the emperor.

The emperor was very satisfied with this.

"Your Majesty, it seems that General Hongyin is not just impulsive. The situation on the Xisha battlefield is now gradually stabilizing. It will be just a matter of time before we in Dajing drive them out."

The emperor smiled and said, "I am naturally pleased that she has lived up to my trust, but... ending the war is not that easy."

"In any case, we have seen hope. Nowadays, the court is short of talented military officers, and we have to let a woman go to the battlefield. This is indeed a shame for the men of Dajing."

This seems to be praising Nangong Yuan, but in fact, there are many actions that put her down.

The emperor didn't care, but said: "Shame? I think they are enjoying it very much, not ashamed at all, but proud of it."

He was not a pedantic emperor, otherwise he would not have let Nangong Yuan go to the battlefield.

At the same time, he also saw the current situation in the court.

Aren't all people eyeing the military power of the Nangong family? Now that Nangong Yuan has appeared, it is actually a good thing for the emperor.

Because...she is a woman, which means that controlling her means indirectly controlling the military power.

At that time, if Nangong Yuan is not honest, I will directly grant her the marriage. What else can she do then?

Therefore, many people attacked her not because she was really a woman, but because of the power behind it.

"That's not the case. We in Dajing also have many men with great ambitions, but they just don't have the opportunity."

ambition?

They are just lazy and greedy parasites who are protected by their ancestors.

They think big but do little. The emperor is not a fool. Wouldn't it be a disaster for the government if he brought these people into the court?

What's more, the new generation of Dajing does not have any military generals, and most of them are mediocre people who are of no use at all.

The appearance of Nangong Yuan now is a good sign.

This made the emperor breathe a sigh of relief, because... it is easy to get thousands of soldiers, but it is difficult to get a good general.

"Okay, she won the battle, so I will naturally reward her. Go and pass on the oral order."

Soon, the emperor gave Nangong Yuan a huge reward amid everyone's quarrel.

Not only was he rewarded with a thousand acres of fertile land and a thousand taels of gold, but he was also given a set of clothes, which I heard were made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs specifically for General Hongyin.

This honor is indeed rare.

But Nangong Yuan knew that this was like roasting her on the fire.

This leaves her no room for failure.

Once she loses, all this glory and halo will crush her.

This was a warning from the emperor. Nangong Yuan looked at the reward and smiled.

She was well aware of the supremacy of imperial power in this era, and also understood the fighting among various parties for their own interests.

So...she accepted such whipping because she wanted revenge.

So what if he couldn't lose? His Majesty couldn't afford to lose, but could Nangong Yuan afford to lose?

From the moment she stood here, Nangong Yuan was no longer the little girl in the boudoir.

She decided to move forward and kill all the enemies that stood in her way without mercy.

"Your Majesty's reward is really intriguing."

"General, what are you going to do? If we lose, I'm afraid..."

The next moment, she interrupted him: "Lose? Why did you lose?"

Her face, which remained fair even after being exposed to wind and rain every day, looked extremely cold and hard.

"I came here for revenge and to fight, not to lose. Why do I have to set this in advance? If I lose, the worst that can happen is death."

But behind these light words, it is not that easy.

Because if she fails, the Nangong family and everyone she cares about will be implicated.

But Nangong Yuan doesn't care, because only in this way can she have the motivation and courage to push herself. She can't lose, and she can't afford to lose.

“General…”

Looking at Nangong Yuan's bright yet sharp eyes, the other party fell silent.

"As generals, you are standing here with the determination not to go back, right?"

Lin Yun nodded, agreeing with this.

They knew that they might die here one day, just like generals like the Marquis.

They also knew that being buried in the sand was common.

However, Nangong Yuan is so young and has a bright future.

"After I lost my father, I had no way out. If I didn't come, would my mother be trapped by them? I will never let myself end up in such a situation again."

She had received so much love and care from the Nangong couple, so she should do something for them.

But Nangong Yuan also knew that she was doing it for herself.

"What the general said is that we...can win."

It is precisely because of this belief that they can escape from death.

Face it and overcome it.
