"I have missed too many things because I avoided their sharp edge. If I retreat now, I will only wait for death."

Now that Xiao Heyun had thought about it to this point, how could he not understand Nangong Yuan's feelings?

Because of this, her family was broken up, and she could not accept such an outcome.

"Go ahead. No matter what, this time, he must not come back."

Since Xiao Heyun had spoken, they dared not disobey and quickly retreated.

He sat there, looking at the document at hand, but couldn't read a single word.

"A Yuan, when did you know this? You didn't let me help you before, but now we have a common enemy, so you still won't let me help you?"

He didn't care about Nangong Yuan's choice. After all, things had come to this point and there was no room for maneuver.

But how he does it can be controlled.

For this, he was willing to take a risk.

········

Ding Ran returned to the post station and met many people along the way.

These officers or soldiers had strict military discipline and did not talk much, and the people patrolling at the door did not even look at them.

"It seems that Dajing is indeed lucky now, and actually got such a general."

It is rare to find a general with such a unique personality and such ability.

Unexpectedly, Dajing got it.

"My Lord, it seems that it will be too difficult for us to attack."

Ding Ran smiled and said, "If we can't break through from the outside, we can only rely on the inside. I remember Da Lu said that they had cooperated before."

"You mean, we should make a breakthrough from there?"

"It's not impossible. Negotiations take time. Let's take our time."

Ding Ran knew that although the current situation was chaotic, it was not invulnerable.

If you want to do something, it’s very simple.

Now it seems that he was right.

Anyway... Nangong Yuan's leaving the border can at least slightly distance the threat from the Paracel Islands, and it can be considered a mission accomplished.

Saving Da Lu is naturally the main purpose of his trip, but if he cannot be rescued, then he must be used well.

"You are right, but this group of people is quite rude."

"Both sides are mortal enemies. After fighting for so many years, how can we expect them to have a good attitude?"

Ding Ran didn't care about the murderous looks of the soldiers at all. He was very calm, even indifferent.

Anyway, the other party will definitely not let anything happen to him at this time.

Although it was Nangong Yuan who was escorting him, in fact he was under guard and on guard, but at the same time, he was a hot potato.

If anything goes wrong, Nangong Yuan will also be held responsible.

Therefore, in order not to cause trouble to their superiors, this group of people will not deal with them.

"That's true, but we still have to be careful, lest someone seeks death without knowing the rules."

Ding Ran stayed at the post station for two days. I heard that he was very well behaved and didn't do anything except go out for a walk.

Nangong Yuan was not surprised by this.

Although he would not kill him, Ding Ran also had to cherish his life.

If he died, although Nangong Yuan would be unlucky, the consequence would not be unbearable.

After all, your life is your own, so you have to take care of it.

"Oh, if he behaves himself, I can refrain from doing anything, but if he wants to die, you can't blame me."

Nangong Yuan looked calm, but her words were not polite at all.

Lin Yun strongly supports this.

"These people are just bastards. No matter what, we still have to teach them a lesson, otherwise they will become more fearless."

Nangong Yuan curled her lips and smiled: "Negotiations will be interesting then."

"Alas, it's a pity that I have to stay in Hongzhou and you can't go back."

"It doesn't matter. As long as there are no problems at the border, I will make them feel frustrated to death."

Nangong Yuan was very confident, and besides... things had come to this point, so there was no need to show mercy.

The two sides are just comparing to see who has better skills.

If you lose, the stakes are your life.

"Yes, I will definitely guard the border, don't worry."

Nangong Yuan nodded and began to deal with the military affairs at hand.

There were so many things to do that she was literally too busy to stop.

But this makes her feel fulfilled. Being so busy doesn't make her think too much or look back, which is good.

Time passed quickly. Although Nangong Yuan was extremely worried, she still had to set off for Kyoto immediately.

The construction of the parade ground in Anshan is almost completed, and a group of people have moved there.

As for the troops of Tuyue City, although they have withdrawn now, they did not withdraw too far.

This is the inevitable process of military deterrence, and Nangong Yuan is not worried at all.

She climbed onto the horse, and the people of Hongzhou saw her off along the way.

The soldiers following behind him were all very respectful.

"Count, you can return to Beijing without worry. We are here to protect Hongzhou."

Nangong Yuan was wearing light armor and riding on a tall black horse, looking very calm.

"Then I'll leave it to you. I'll go ahead."

After saying that, she flicked the reins and left first.

Soon, the escorting soldiers behind caught up on horseback, with the escorting team of Xisha envoys in the middle.

Because they had to take a horse-drawn carriage, they wasted a lot of time on the road.

But Nangong Yuan was not in a hurry. There was no news from Kyoto now, which meant that everything was still under control.

"Count, the city of Dan is ahead. Shall we go in and set up camp?"

Nangong Yuan nodded: "Okay, let's go."

They were stationed in the city and were warmly received by the provincial government.

They were indeed very curious about Nangong Yuan.

After meeting her, he was full of praise. It was indeed the first time he had seen such a young countess.

The soldiers all stood by with ferocious looks, and she was the only young-looking woman among them. She was really pleasing to the eye.

However, the other party did not dare to neglect and invited the person in.

"This is the Xisha envoy. I hope the governor will make the arrangements."

"Don't worry, everything has been arranged. Please come this way, envoy."

The two parties lived separately, but someone had to watch over them. After Nangong Yuan ate and drank his fill, he washed up and went to sleep.

Leave the rest to others.

Sure enough, it was useless for Ding Ran to get any information. The soldiers guarding outside could get anything and they didn't need to do it themselves.

This is literally house arrest.

But they have no other choice, and now they are the ones who need help.

When you live under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. There's nothing you can do about it.

There seems to be no better way than to accept it.

········

Nangong Yuan ate and slept along the way, and otherwise just hurried on his way.

The state government sent her a specially made carriage which was very spacious. She lay down in it and fell into a deep sleep.

These days, she has been busy like a dog, so Nangong Yuan doesn't care about the bumpy ride. She can fall asleep anyway, so it's okay.

The conditions on the battlefield are even worse, but we still have to endure it, right?

Soon, they will arrive in the capital.
