Quick Transmigration: Hosts, We're Only Responsible for Counterattacking

Chapter 50 A Lifetime of Glory and Peace (19)

She took out a tiger tally from the sachet at her waist. "With this, will you still believe me?"

"No matter how favored I am, I am still just a princess. If my brother hadn't specifically instructed me to do something, why would he have given me this item?"

Having heard this, Li Xuancai believed seven-tenths of it; the remaining three-tenths depended on the Emperor's reply from the capital.

Gu Changjin, far away in the capital, was almost going crazy. At first, when the eunuch came to help him get up, he saw the blood on his bed and assumed that he had slept with someone.

Later... hehe.

All he wanted to do right now was strangle Gu Rong'an.

I was both anxious and angry, but I couldn't make a fuss about it. If others found out, they would definitely make a big deal out of it.

We can't go looking for him yet. Fortunately, Li Xuan and others are at the border. Rong An's visit was probably just a spur-of-the-moment thing. He even took his dragon robe with him. Well done!

Thinking it over, he instructed the eunuchs to prepare pen and ink to write the imperial edict. One should always do things thoroughly. Regardless of whether Rong An did the right thing or not, he took the responsibility upon himself, and that would probably stop people from gossiping.

About two weeks later, Gu Changjin received a letter from Gu Rong'an, who had come from this remote border region.

He gritted his teeth and opened it, only to find a few words inside: "Release Nangong Yu and the other person."

Although he was furious, Gu Changjin still let them go despite his reluctance. In the end, he even went to Nangong Yu and made sarcastic remarks. Especially after so many days of torment, even though Nangong Yu looked like a fairy, he was still quite annoying. He hadn't washed up and was unshaven. Hong Zhaodi was back to square one, or rather, she was even worse than before.

True friendship is revealed in times of adversity. Seeing this scene, Gu Changjin felt that Nangong Yu truly liked Hong Zhaodi.

However, Rong An's attitude always seemed ambiguous to him. If she still liked Nangong Yu, given her previous personality, she wouldn't have chosen to give up. If she didn't like him, why was she paying so much attention to him?

Thinking of this, Gu Changjin lost his desire to mock them and simply had a sedan chair sent them back.

When Lady Nangong saw the two of them, she practically cried and wailed.

The way he looked at Hong Zhaodi was as if she were his enemy.

“Mother, don’t look at Zhao Di like that. It’s not her fault.”

Nangong glared at her fiercely and said, "Who said that? Some time ago, a few people who claimed to be relatives of Princess Deshu came to the manor. I originally thought of letting them stay outside temporarily, but they didn't know what was good for them and caused a scene outside. I had no choice but to settle these people around her house."

Upon hearing this, Hong Zhaodi blushed and said, "Madam, I... I didn't know about this."

Nangong frowned. How come after teaching for so long, they still can't get up to standard? "Enough. Now, regardless of whether you know it or not, they are still your family. You have to take good care of them, lest word get out that the Nangong family is treating people poorly."

After saying that, she turned her head and took Nangong Yu's hand, "My son, you have suffered these days. Go and wash up properly. I will have someone send you some food later."

She didn't give Hong Zhaodi a friendly look. Although the maid had tried to persuade her, and Nangong Shi had originally thought that she might as well just let things go and accept that her son liked her, this incident happened before she could even accept it.

Enraged at being barred from the battlefield for the third time, Shen Yun pointed at Li Xuan, still holding Gu Changjin's dragon robe in her hand, and slammed it to the ground. "If you don't let me be the commander-in-chief, I'll tear this robe to pieces and return to the capital to tell my brother that you insulted me!" Li Xuan's lips twitched. "You can't say that, Princess. The word 'insult' isn't used lightly." He might have the will, but he didn't have the guts. Bah, he didn't even have the will.

After spending several days with her, he still couldn't figure out Princess Rong'an's personality. She was indeed different from the normal noble ladies of the capital. As for extravagance, she really couldn't be called luxurious, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to stay in this godforsaken place.

"Princess, going to the battlefield is not child's play; it's very dangerous."

Shen Yun nodded, looking like she was very obedient. "I know, that's why I came here to help you."

After a long standoff, Li Xuan had no choice but to compromise, "How about this, the princess will stand at a distance and observe, and must not approach, is that alright?"

“Okay then.” Shen Yun agreed, knowing that no one could stop her if she stepped forward.

Li Xuan's abilities are indeed not to be underestimated. Nangong Yu has been in the army for many years, and he only took a few days to get those soldiers to obey his orders. It has to be said that he has some skills.

Shen Yun was curious about what the barbarians looked like. When she arrived, she saw that they were all tall and strong. Judging from their appearance, she estimated that each of them was about 1.8 or 1.9 meters tall.

Looking at it this way, Shen Yun understood why the barbarians often harbored rebellious intentions.

The Great Wei is located on a plain with abundant resources, and almost everyone is well-fed and clothed. But the barbarians are different; they live on a plateau with scarce resources.

Actually, there's nothing wrong with that; it's all about wanting a better life.

Shen Yun did not disguise herself as a man; she was still dressed as a woman.

His appearance caused quite a stir below.

The barbarian chieftain was only thirty years old, but he looked rather aged. His only hobbies were fine wine and beautiful women, but while fine wine was easy to find, beautiful women were hard to come by. Upon seeing someone with such a face, he almost melted at the sight of her. He shouted, "Li Xuan, are you perhaps afraid of us, so you're offering a pretty girl as a bribe?"

Li Xuan could not bear to hear this. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the princess raise her hand.

Shen Yun slowly stepped forward, coldly looking down, "You are Yi Hanxie?"

Yi Hanxie chuckled upon hearing this. He looked around and then said loudly, "Could it be that Yi Hanxie's name is already known to everyone in the Great Wei Dynasty? If that's the case, what are you still doing standing up there, little beauty? Hurry up and come down to serve me properly. Maybe if you serve me well, I'll consider temporarily not attacking Great Wei."

The coldness in Shen Yun's eyes was almost overflowing. "Yi Hanxie, I am the only eldest princess of the Great Wei. Gu Rong'an, today I am ordered to take your head. If you surrender now, you may save the lives of your entire clan. If you resist, you will be killed without mercy."

Despite her stunningly beautiful appearance, Yi Hanxie felt a tremor in his heart. He quickly dismissed the thought, thinking, "She's just a little girl, what can she possibly do?"
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Shen Yun took out a golden bow from behind him. It looked like it was made of pure gold, but it also seemed to have no texture. There were ancient patterns on the bow, which looked quite terrifying from a distance.

"Bring me the arrows." Shen Yun looked at Li Xuan.

Li Xuanjing subconsciously handed over an arrow.

Going to revise my paper tomorrow, good luck!
