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

Nie Qianfan finally accepted the task of assassinating Qin Zhang.

After his deputy general betrayed and was beheaded, he no longer insisted on whether the Nie family should be in charge of the Qianjun Army, and entrusted the Qianjun Army to a general named Zhao.

The general was a very sensible and loyal general. Nie Qianfan had already examined him and could rest assured that he could leave like this.

When Nie Qianfan was about to leave, Gu Suinuan stopped him.

After their identities were exposed, they never had any contact again, but Nie Qianfan did not tell anyone about it and still called Gu Suinan "girl" when outside.

"Gu girl, why are you here? Don't worry, I will definitely kill that bastard Qin Zhang!"

Nie Qianfan was somewhat surprised to see Gu Sui Nuan blocking his way and assured her again.

"I will help you accomplish what you want to do."

Nie Qianfan said the last sentence very softly, and no one except Gu Suinan could hear it clearly.

Gu Sui Nuan knew that he was referring to the fact in the contract that the original owner wanted Qin Zhang to die.

"I believe you, Grandpa."

Gu Sui Nuan did not come here to listen to Nie Qianfan's repeated assurances. Seeing that she stopped talking, Nie Qianfan said goodbye and was about to leave.

Gu Sui Nuan still couldn't help but grab his sleeve. She knew that he wanted to take revenge, but she really couldn't do it and just watched him go to his death.

"Grandpa, let me go, let me kill him with my own hands. I am sure I can escape unscathed. You just stay here... ok?"

Assassinating Qin Zhang is not a situation where death is inevitable. As long as we send someone who is good at lurking, as long as the people of Qi cannot recognize him, even if he will be stranded in Qi for a while, he can return safely.

But this person definitely cannot be Nie Qianfan. He has fought with the State of Qi for many years. Those Qi soldiers and the people of Qi on the border all know Nie Qianfan, and they are very likely to hate Nie Qianfan.

Nie Qianfan sighed, as if he wanted to refute it, but Gu Sui Nuan quickly said:

"Or, can we think of another way? We don't have to enter Qi territory to assassinate Qin Zhang. Your previous method was also good..."

Nie Qianfan raised his hand and gently patted Gu Sui Nuan's head, as if he was comforting his own younger generation. At this moment, Nie Qianfan really treated Gu Sui Nuan as his own granddaughter.

"You are a good child. Grandpa promised you that he would come back safely."

Nie Qianfan understood that Gu Sui Nuan was worried about him, so he made a promise to Gu Sui Nuan.

Knowing that it was useless to try to keep him, Gu Suinuan let go of the hand that was holding Nie Qianfan's sleeve and watched Nie Qianfan walk into the vast snow without looking back.

Gu Sui Nuan stood at the city gate and looked in the direction where Nie Qianfan left, until Chao Yan couldn't bear it anymore and came to Gu Sui Nuan's side, opened an umbrella to block the wind and snow for Gu Sui Nuan, and held her cold hand.

Because Nie Qianfan left, the person who went to Qi State to demand Qin Zhang became Chao Yan. He knew what these people wanted to see, and showed impatience and a look of wanting to take action several times.

The people of Qi thought they had the Crown Prince of Cheng under control, and they provoked him with words, saying they would never hand over Qin Zhang no matter what.

Before they started fighting, Gu Sui Nuan acted as a peacemaker, pulled the furious Chao Yan away, and calmed the conflict.

The people of Qi knew that they didn't dare to really take action, so they proudly took Qin Zhang, who had no ability to resist, to Qi.

Things were going smoothly, but not long after, news came from Qi that Qin Zhang had been assassinated. It was said that the assassin was extremely cruel, first cutting off Qin Zhang's limbs and lower body, and then beheading him, ending Qin Zhang's life.

The emperor of Chengguo died in the territory of Qi and was escorted by Qi. This incident instantly caused an uproar. After Chao Yan exerted pressure several times, the country of Qi was in chaos.

Those soldiers who were still helping Qin Qianze deal with Chao Yan were all called back by Qi State just to catch the assassin.

[Nuan Nuan, the original owner's wish has been fulfilled, and the Emperor's favorability has almost been raised. Should we leave now? ]

Gu Sui Nuan hummed in his heart.

Now the only thing missing was this evil Qin Qianze. He got explosives from somewhere and surrounded the entire town, threatening Chao Yan that if he dared to attack the city, he would blow up all the people inside.

Chao Yan is having a headache over this matter. As long as Gu Sui Nuan can solve this last trouble, Chao Yan will have no worries about the throne in the future.

Qin Qianze's matter still needs to be considered for a long time, so Gu Sui Nuan is not in a hurry. She is waiting at the gate of Qingtang City, waiting for Nie Qianfan to fulfill his promise and return safely.

"Big sister, what are you doing here?" The little girl that Gu Sui Nuan had rescued earlier has woken up and has recovered a lot. Today was a rare sunny day, so she was brought out by her maid to bask in the sun.

"I'm...waiting for my family to come back."

Gu Sui Nuan handed the candy in her arms to the girl. Seeing that she was enjoying the meal, she reached out and pinched her little face.

[Nuannuan...] Simingbo, who was checking on Nie Qianfan's condition, suddenly spoke.

When the girl looked up again, she found that her older sister, who was fine before, was actually crying.

"Big sister, what's wrong with you? Don't cry, don't cry. I'll give you some candy."

The girl stood on tiptoe and raised her hand, wanting to wipe Gu Sui Nuan's tears, but when she found that she couldn't reach it, she wanted to return the remaining candy in her hand to Gu Sui Nuan.

"...I'm fine." But the person I'm waiting for will never come back.

Nie Qianfan ultimately failed to fulfill the promise he made when he left.

He ran for a long time, hiding all the way, but when he was only a wall away from Chengguo, he still ran into a patrolling soldier.

The soldier recognized Nie Qianfan and immediately exclaimed, attracting the attention of the people around him.

At the critical moment when the Qi people were about to discover Nie Qianfan, he ignited the gunpowder he was carrying. The explosion blew Nie Qianfan and the soldier who recognized him to pieces, leaving no trace of their bodies.

Gu Sui Nuan thought he would really come back, so she waited here early in the morning, waiting for Nie Qianfan to return to Chengguo.

It was obvious that he was only this wall away from returning to his homeland.

But he will never come back.

The old general who had fought for his country for half his life died in a foreign country without even leaving his body.

The news of Nie Qianfan's death quickly spread throughout Qingtang City. Even though there was only a small explosion in Qi State, killing a civilian and a soldier, they all knew it was Nie Qianfan.

The bag of explosives was specially prepared long before Nie Qianfan left.

If he was recognized by the people of Qi and could not escape unscathed, he would ignite the explosives. As long as there was no body left, the State of Qi would not be able to do anything to Nie Qianfan.

The general named Zhao found Gu Sui Nuan and handed her a box.

He told Gu Sui Nuan that Nie Qianfan had asked him to take good care of Gu Sui Nuan when he left. And the things in the box were also specially left by Nie Qianfan for Gu Sui Nuan.

This situation was just like what happened when Eleven handed Gu Sui Nuan a letter after Jiu left.

Gu Sui Nuan took the box and opened it after returning to her room.

There weren't many things inside, one was Nie Qianfan's identity token, and the other was the sapphire he had used to test Gu Sui Nuan.

And a farewell letter:

[Little girl, if I cannot return safely, this token will replace my body and be buried next to my wife's grave. The Nie family has suffered casualties, and now you are the only relative still around. I can only trouble you with this matter.]

[In fact, I have long noticed that you are not like my granddaughter, but I have secretly investigated you for several times and found nothing. I was lucky and kept deceiving myself, thinking that she just grew up and it is normal for her personality to change.]

[After spending so much time together, I can see that you have no ill intentions. You are a kind and intelligent child, not a monster that occupies someone else's body. In my heart, you are also my granddaughter.]

[It’s just that before my wife passed away, she asked me to take good care of our children. Unfortunately, I didn’t know what they had experienced until now, and I didn’t know the culprit who killed them. If I can’t even kill the murderer, how can I face them in the afterlife? ]

[Little girl, don't be sad about my death. I am very happy now that I can avenge them. I hope you can be happy too.]

[Although I think the Crown Prince is too deep-minded and doesn't seem like a good person. But he is sincere to you. I hope you can grow old together and love each other forever. If you are bullied, you can tell your uncle Zhao. He promised me that all these thousands of troops will support you.]

[And this gem, I found it not long ago and gave it to you. When I saw this gem, I thought of you and felt that it suited you very well. Consider it a gift from me, your grandfather, to you.]

At the end of the letter, there is Nie Qianfan's wish:

May my grandson be healthy and happy.
