After I captured the wrong male lead, I broke off the engagement and married the villain
Chapter 57: Another Journey
Their Nangong family has made great contributions in protecting the emperor and suppressing the rebels, and they are unrivaled in the spotlight.
It seems to be a temporary glory, but it makes people jealous.
Nangong Jin understood and nodded, "Yes, father, I will be careful."
"Well, you have been learning the art of war from me since you were young, so you should know the consequences of being too successful and causing trouble for the ruler."
Of course he knew, and he was also aware that the royal family was ruthless.
Therefore, even if we want to take action, we will do so after careful consideration.
Originally, this matter was not his turn, but Nangong Jin noticed that something was wrong with the aliens.
In recent years, they have become increasingly restless.
"My son has always kept his father's teachings in mind and will never forget them."
Madam Shen, who was standing by, nudged General Nangong with her elbow: "We are eating, why are you talking about this?"
If you want to teach your son a lesson, go back to the study after dinner!
Hearing this, General Nangong immediately coaxed her: "Don't be angry, I'm just talking, let's eat first."
Nangong Jin, who was standing by, couldn't help but laugh when he saw this.
Seeing his parents living in harmony and love, he felt relieved.
Ever since General Nangong retired, he went to the battlefield and rarely returned home throughout the year.
Fortunately, my younger sister has always been with them, which is a comfort to them.
But she grew up after all, and her mind was very wild. Unlike the girls in the boudoir in the capital, she was arrogant, willful and free.
Originally, Nangong Jin thought this was not a good idea.
But later, when I saw that she was more cheerful and lively than when she was a child, I thought this was not a bad thing.
He worked so hard and sacrificed his life just to give his loved ones a choice.
"Eat this, mother."
"Thank you, Jin'er. You should eat quickly too. You have lost weight in these days."
Nangong Jin shook his head: "No, mother must have seen it wrong."
For Mrs. Shen, who loves her children dearly, she is afraid that her children will not have enough food to eat or enough clothes to wear outside.
The atmosphere in the Nangong family was warm, but the imperial palace was cold and eerie.
The emperor was furious and even the queen and Prince Li disappeared.
For this reason, the Queen knelt in front of the hall for a whole day and night, but did not see His Majesty at all.
"Let her go back and don't come out unless necessary."
Finally, this sentence fell on them.
Before, Prince Li framed Xiao Heyun and went to great lengths to kill him.
And what the emperor said then is no different from what he says now.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! My family is truly innocent, please let them go!"
The queen, whose head was broken and bleeding, fainted and was taken back to her bedroom by the servants.
Since then, the other concubines in the harem had their chance to come to the fore.
But this is not enough.
For Xiao Heyun...it is far from enough.
As long as King Li didn't lose a leg, wasn't being chased by everyone, and wasn't living a life worse than death, then all this is not over yet.
"Merchant ships have been coming here frequently recently. Your Highness...business is here."
Xiao Heyun raised his head and put the letters in his hand under the paperweight.
"Tell someone to keep a close eye on them and make sure no unclean people get in."
Li Jin nodded: "Of course, but Your Majesty should rest for a while. Your body cannot bear such hard work."
But the man said, "If you want revenge, there will be no room for comfort. You should withdraw."
Li Jin had no way to deal with this.
After leaving Kyoto, the prince seemed to have turned himself into a cold stone statue.
He was decisive and ruthless, killing people like crazy, making people tremble with fear.
The local wealthy businessmen in Qingzhou were all arrogant and did not take him seriously.
So Xiao Heyun simply chopped off the heads of these people and hung them on the city wall.
He was never a merciful king, nor was he a good man.
But when Li Jin looked at him, he felt sad.
"Your Majesty, no matter what, you still have to take care of yourself."
It took him only one month to bring Qingzhou under complete control.
The emperor had asked him to inspect Qingzhou before, which might have been his intention to teach him a lesson.
There is an alley in Qingzhou where all goods bound for various places have to be transferred. As a result, the local merchants are very rich and do not take the officials seriously at all.
As for Xiao Heyun, they were even more disdainful of him, as he was rumored to be an idle prince who had broken his leg and lost the emperor's favor.
But they forgot that Xiao Heyun was a general who fought on the battlefield and a killing god feared by the barbarians in the north.
If it weren't for that conspiracy, he would still be holding military power in the North and would be someone they would never be able to look up to in their entire lives.
"I know. If you have time, just keep an eye on the alley. Things are not peaceful anywhere these days."
He rubbed his aching brow and started writing again.
It takes a lot of effort to regulate Qingzhou.
Some merchants were dishonest and paid very little tax.
Xiao Heyun ordered his house to be searched and his head was chopped off in front of everyone.
Within a few days, the rest of the people immediately paid the taxes, not a penny less.
Local officials colluded with merchants and sometimes smuggled salt, but they were also caught and killed by him.
Anyway, this method has a strong deterrent effect, so the others certainly don't dare to say anything more.
The guards he brought with him were each capable of fighting a hundred men at a time and killed people like flies.
So his story began to spread among the people.
That night, Wang Xiao Heyun was a killing god. He was ruthless and killed people without mercy, and he would never let go of any grudge.
Anyway, all the charges were put on him.
Xiao Heyun doesn't care·············.
His sight fell on Kyoto in the distance, and there was no one else.
···········
Li Jin had no choice but to leave after failing to persuade him.
On the other side, Nangong Yuan received a small gadget.
This is a Western clock, very delicate and beautiful, given to her by the Shen family.
"Where did this thing come from?"
Tao Zhu thought for a moment and said, "It seems that a caravan came from Hongzhou a few days ago and gave it to the Shen family."
Then the Shen family saw that this thing was quite interesting and gave it to Nangong Yuan.
"Oh? Western stuff can be sold here?"
Tao Zhu thought about it and said, "Logically speaking, most of them are court gifts, and they can't flow out. It's strange that this thing can still be seen."
Speaking of this, Nangong Yuan's mind suddenly remembered the system sound.
[Host, please note that a side quest has appeared. The outflow of tribute from the West may have some unspeakable secrets. Find out the reason behind it and you can get 300 points. Do you agree? ]
Nangong Yuan clicked on the mission information and said, "It seems like I really have a lot of time to spare."
She had just said she was bored when this task came down.
"I agree. Send the information over."
The system flashed a few times and sent the mission information to the panel.
Nangong Yuan flipped through the pages and said, "The entrance of the alley? There's a canal there, it looks like a good place indeed."
"However, the place of exodus is Hongzhou, so I will ask the Shen family where this caravan came from."
Right after the war, merchants started to do business here.
It seems that the business is thriving, but Nangong Yuan is not interested in this guy.
She patted her sleeves and went to meet Shen Lian.
Shen Lian has been in high spirits these days. After capturing Yu Chengye that day, his prestige in Hongzhou is very high.
