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

Originally, Nangong Yuan had nothing to do all day.

But today is different. The secret guards said they have found a clue in their investigation.

"We compared the muskets in Kyoto and looked at them according to the blueprints. They are indeed different."

Nangong Yuan asked: "Could it be that he has changed?"

"If this thing is to be modified, it must be submitted to His Majesty for approval before it can be modified. It is rare to modify it privately."

They are familiar with Kyoto and the Ministry of War, so there should be no problem.

"So, you think this thing might not be from Kyoto?"

Xiao Heyun nodded slightly, and his overly deep eyes unconsciously revealed a sense of extreme danger.

"If the Ministry of War has modified it, the first thing they would do is take it out to test its power, but our people haven't found anyone who has touched this thing."

In other words, it could be from somewhere else.

"So, where does your suspicion come from?"

"It is most likely something from a Western merchant ship. Look, there is no number on it."

In order to count the muskets and prevent leaks, the court numbered each musket, but the one the dwarf was holding did not have a number.

Nangong Yuan pinched his chin and thought: "If it's them, it's not impossible."

Western products are indeed very sophisticated, and can kill people unexpectedly. If they are released on a large scale, the consequences will be disastrous.

"In half a month, a large caravan will be stopping at the alley entrance of Qingzhou. I have to go back."

Nangong Yuan said: "You mean, the murderer might be among them."

"It's just a guess. We need to continue investigating to find out the result."

He never suspected anyone rashly. If he did, he would probably have some solid evidence.

Seeing this, Nangong Yuan said: "Then go check it out. It happens that... I have time too."

"You come with me, but the trip to Qingzhou might be very dangerous."

He didn't want Nangong Yuan to be in danger, but it seemed impossible for him to let her leave.

So he selfishly threw the choice to her, expecting her to make a decision.

"What are you afraid of? Won't the prince protect me?"

Xiao Heyun was amused by her tone: "Of course, you just need to stay with me."

He doesn't have to do anything, he will never let Nangong Yuan get hurt again.

"Haha, I'm just talking, how can I be protected by the prince for nothing?"

Nangong Yuan's smile was very warm, and her eyes always had a beautiful light and rarely looked dim.

"Then go and get ready. We will set off back to Qingzhou tomorrow."

"it is good."

When I came out of the house, it was almost afternoon.

Tao Zhu asked her, "Miss, are we really going to Qingzhou?"

"Yes, after all, the case has come to this point, we can't give up halfway."

Hearing this, Tao Zhu looked strange: "Really?"

"Isn't it? Moreover, fire guns are so dangerous. It would be bad if they were to spread out and injure ordinary people. We have to find the source."

Tao Zhu had nothing to say about this, but she always felt that it was because the young lady liked Xiao Heyun.

It’s strange, how could the lady like that cold person?

But on second thought, maybe the young lady likes this kind of aloof and handsome look.

Isn't it the same for Gu Zian?

However, Xiao Heyun is more dangerous and fierce, and it is scary to look at him.

"Okay, but after our trip to Qingzhou, we have to go home as soon as possible."

Otherwise the general's wife would nag her to death.

These days, letters from Kyoto came in like snowflakes, and Nangong Yuan would lie in the rocking chair while she read the letters.

It makes me drowsy after listening to it, and it can cure insomnia.

"I know. We have to go back before the New Year."

Of course Nangong Yuan knew that she didn't always have the chance to hang out outside.

Therefore, we must take advantage of now and quickly speed up the task of conquering.

After she returns to Beijing, she doesn’t know how long she will have to wait before she has another opportunity.

"That's good. Miss, you must protect yourself when you go to Qingzhou this time. You can't get hurt again."

"No, I will be careful."

·······

When Liu Xiaoan heard that they were leaving, he specially invited her to dinner.

"Hey, you are really capable. It couldn't be better for the prince to value you."

When Nangong Yuan saw him toasting her, she joined in.

"It's just good luck."

These days she has become familiar with the yamen runners.

Liu Xiaoan is young and talkative, but he is decisive in doing things and is a person worth cultivating.

The teammates around him all have a strong sense of responsibility and are very reliable at first glance.

"Yes, people like you should do great things. If this case wasn't serious, I'm afraid you wouldn't help."

Nangong Yuan laughed and thought to herself, you’re thinking wrongly.

The reason why she checked her hands was because the system gave her a task.

Otherwise, no matter how serious the matter is, she will think about whether she can do it.

"By the way, Master Nan, the prince is taking you to Qingzhou this time. Does that mean he wants to take you as his subordinate?"

Nangong Yuan said: "I don't know about this, but I am very happy to be appreciated by the prince."

"Haha, not bad, not bad. Heroes emerge young."

Everyone ate meat, drank wine, and talked nonsense about all sorts of things.

Nangong Yuan held the wine glass and drank slowly, feeling that the scene at this moment couldn't be better.

"You too, Lord Chen loves his subordinates. As long as you work hard, you can get a promotion and a raise!"

Liu Xiaoan laughed: "Yes, when I make more money, I will get married!"

"Hey, you have a little girl you like, whose girl is that?"

He shook his head miserly: "I won't tell you."

What if you become lustful and fall in love with that person?

"Look, you haven't even gotten married yet, and you're still protecting her like this. You'll definitely be henpecked in the future."

Nangong Yuan felt very happy watching them playing and fighting.

So before I knew it, I had drunk too much.

Everything in front of me is very clear, but there is always a feeling that it is not real.

She felt dizzy and still a little dizzy when Tao Zhu helped her back.

"Goodbye, little peach."

Liu Xiaoan and others stood at the door to see them off.

"Okay, but don't force my young master to drink so much next time. It will give him a headache."

Those people burst into laughter and found it very interesting.

"It's possible to eat without drinking, how boring would that be?"

Tao Zhu helped her back home.

Along the way, Nangong Yuan just smiled and didn't say anything.

"Miss, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. I just had a few extra drinks because I was happy. It's nothing."

She tried to stand up straight and said, "I can still walk by myself, you see."

After saying that, Tao Zhu pulled her back: "You said you could walk, but you're almost hitting your head against the wall."

A drunk person can't walk in a straight line.

"Haha, I lied to you."

She blinked and went up the steps.

Soon she saw a man waiting for her outside the courtyard.

"Drinking?"

Nangong Yuan narrowed her eyes and asked, "Why isn't Your Majesty asleep yet?"

"Waiting for you, but since you are drunk, go and rest first."
