Quick Wear: After the strategy was successful, she died again

After the Qi envoys failed to find Qi Lin in Qingtang City, they set their sights on Qin Qianze and Qin Zhang.

Not long after, they sent a number of soldiers to the small town where Qin Qianze and Qin Zhang were hiding, in the name of helping the neighboring country protect the current emperor, preparing to take Qin Zhang to Qi.

Nie Qianfan, who was originally unable to attack the city because of the civilians in the city, became restless when he heard the news. He was ready to step forward and snatch Qin Zhang away.

"Grandpa, I have a better idea."

In the study room of the mansion, after hearing Nie Qianfan's suggestion, Gu Sui Nuan thought about it and made a suggestion.

"Let them take Qin Zhang away, and once they enter Qi territory, send secret guards to kill Qin Zhang. By then, the 'protection' will be self-defeating, and Chengguo can use this incident to put pressure on Qi and force Qi to give an explanation."

"The prince is missing, and the emperor of a neighboring country died in their territory. These things are enough to provoke civil strife in Qi. Chengguo only needs to follow Qi's example and secretly support one of the factions, making them Chengguo's pawns. In this way, Qi can be turned from an enemy into a friend without going to war."

Compared with a head-on conflict with the State of Qi, this proposal is perfect. While minimizing casualties, it is also possible to annex the State of Qi at the same time.

Nie Qianfan looked at Gu Suinuan with some surprise and didn't speak for a long time.

"Grandpa?"

It was not until Gu Suinuan called Nie Qianfan that he came back to his senses, and his smile seemed a little forced.

"Girl, your idea is very good. I think we should do as you said. We just need to sneak into Qi State in advance and set up an ambush, and everything will fall into place."

"However, we can't just sit there and do nothing when Qin Zhang is taken away. Grandpa, it will be more effective if you go and try to stop him."

"Okay, okay." Nie Qianfan agreed readily, but anyone could tell something was wrong with his look.

Seeing Nie Qianfan walk away in a daze, Gu Suinuan felt puzzled.

“Sui Sui, be careful. Your grandpa must have discovered…” Chao Yan wanted to remind Gu Sui Nuan. Nie Qianfan must have discovered that the current Gu Sui Nuan was no longer his arrogant, domineering, illiterate, and lawless granddaughter who was spoiled to the point of being unruly.

Thinking of something, Chao Yan suddenly stopped. The identity of the fairy in heaven should not be exposed, right?

"What did you find?"

"If they find out that you are too smart, they might... suspect that you are a fake."

Chao Yan said this hesitantly, and only heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Gu Sui Nuan's reaction was very calm and did not suddenly disappear.

When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Nie Qianfan came secretly.

At that time, Gu Sui Nuan was studying the city defense map at the table. Nie Qianfan approached quietly, but Gu Sui Nuan seemed not to notice.

It was not until Gu Sui Nuan felt a chill on her neck that she turned around and found that it was Nie Qianfan.

"Grandpa."

Gu Sui Nuan called him and saw that the thing that accidentally touched her neck was a sparkling blue gem.

This gem should be a Western item. The workmanship and polishing are more like a gem necklace. The translucent sapphire is quite large.

"Gu girl, you once said that you wanted grandpa to bring you a rare item from the frontier. It took me a long time to find it, but I forgot to give it to you. Look, this gem is priceless. It's enough for you to show off in front of the young ladies of the aristocratic families for a long time."

Nie Qianfan's test was too obvious. Gu Suinuan did not reply, nor did she take the gem from Nie Qianfan's hand.

"Hey, I forgot that you don't like to show off these things in front of outsiders anymore."

Nie Qianfan withdrew his hand with some disappointment.

"General Nie, you don't have to test me. I am indeed no longer your granddaughter." Gu Sui Nuan went straight to the point.

These straightforward words left Nie Qianfan stunned, and he didn't know how to react for a moment.

"I came here for my own mission, but I didn't kill her or plunder her body. I signed a contract with her. I helped her get revenge, and she lent me her body. And your real granddaughter has already been reincarnated."

"I have already told you the truth of the matter. If you don't believe me, you can kill me to avenge her."

Nie Qianfan looked at Gu Sui Nuan in silence, and after a while he spoke, "What revenge does she want?"

Gu Sui Nuan didn't expect Nie Qianfan to be so easy to talk to. Everyone could see how much this man doted on his granddaughter. Now that he knew the truth, he didn't even take action against Gu Sui Nuan.

"I know you are a good child. This time I am testing you just to find out where my spoiled and lawless girl has gone. You said that your contract with her is to help her get revenge. Can you tell me what the revenge is?"

Gu Sui Nuan did not hide the fact that Qin Zhang had always coveted the original owner and her mother and told Nie Qianfan about the original owner's wish.

"I originally thought that the dog emperor was just momentarily obsessed with sex, but I didn't expect that he had a plan all along..."

Nie Qianfan suddenly recalled his daughter who had passed away mysteriously. At that time, he was busy fighting with the State of Qi. After much difficulty, the two sides decided to coexist peacefully. When he returned to Beijing, his child had died.

Nie Qianfan had previously thought that it was the Gu family who did it, but after hearing what Gu Suinuan said, he finally realized what was going on.

"My daughter was also killed by Qin Zhang?"

Gu Sui Nuan nodded, not forgetting to add that the Gu family was indeed an accomplice.

"Why didn't they tell me? Why didn't they ask me for help?"

Since his wife's death, Nie Qianfan has devoted almost all his love to their children and his granddaughter, Gu Sui Nuan. Nie Qianfan doesn't understand why Gu would rather sign a contract with someone and give up her body than ask him for help.

"Maybe... they love you too."

Both the original owner and her mother knew that Nie Qianfan had done a lot for Chengguo, and he was also an important official with military power. If Nie Qianfan knew the truth, in order to protect them, he would definitely go against the imperial power and even start a rebellion.

The Nie family has been loyal for generations, and if Nie Qianfan rebelled, all the loyalty of the Nie family would be destroyed, so they did not ask Nie Qianfan for help, and did not even tell him the truth.

"Besides, the mountains are high and the road is long."

By the time the letter for help was delivered to Nie Qianfan, Qin Zhang had already done everything he wanted to do to them.

Nie Qianfan lowered his head and clenched the beautiful gem in his hand. His eyes, which were always bright, turned a little red.

"I have been in the army for half my life, doing my duty to defend Chengguo from invasion by other countries. But in the end, I still couldn't... I couldn't protect the person I wanted to protect the most."

Nie Qianfan thought that as long as he made great military achievements and commanded thousands of troops, no one would dare to bully his relatives far away in Bian Jing.

It turns out that no matter how hard he tries, he can't beat the person sitting in the high position who is a foolish, incompetent, and extremely licentious tyrant!

"Little girl, has the person who will kill the emperor not been decided yet? I will kill that bastard emperor with my own hands to avenge my child."

Thinking that Qin Zhang was still alive, Nie Qianfan wanted to rush over and kill him right now.

"But this mission is too dangerous for you. It would be better to let someone who is good at assassination do it."

Gu Sui Nuan frowned. She was not afraid that Nie Qianfan could not complete the task, but she was worried that Nie Qianfan would not be able to return to Chengguo safely.

After all, those Qi people could not recognize that the killer was sent by Chengguo, but they could definitely recognize Nie Qianfan.

"Don't try to persuade me. If I can't kill Qin Zhang, I won't be happy when I'm alive, and I won't rest in peace when I die. Don't worry, I will definitely kill Qin Zhang, and I won't fail."

"But..." Gu Sui Nuan hesitated to speak, but she didn't want to watch Nie Qianfan take the risk.

"Little girl, I have missed too much. I have not been able to find out the truth for so many years. Now I finally know that the murderer is right in front of me. If I can't even avenge them before I die, I will regret it for the rest of my life."

Gu Suinuan had never seen Nie Qianfan like this before, and there was some sadness and a hint of pleading in her voice.

"...I won't stop you." Gu Sui Nuan had neither the power nor the qualifications.
