Nan Xi's life was one of physical and mental comfort. Without Ji Nanning, the annoying person, she lived a peaceful life at home.

At this time, some news came that the Kingdom of Nanyou began to constantly violate the border.

Cold winters and lack of food caused unrest on the border.

The court held two opinions. Those who advocated war were naturally military generals like Ji Yun, while those who advocated peace were mostly civil officials.

Later, the emperor finally adopted the advice of the pro-war camp. He selected Ji Yun, a general who was about to be marginalized, and issued an edict to send him to the border to quell the rebellion.

Ji Yun was happy but worried at the same time. He hadn't fought in a war for more than ten years and he didn't know if he could still command a war.

On the day of departure, Nan Xi secretly dressed up as a soldier and followed Ji Yun.

No one noticed it until they arrived at the important border area, and then Ji Yun discovered that his personal guard had turned into his daughter.

"Xi'er, how can you be so reckless? The border is too dangerous. I will send someone to send you back to Beijing tomorrow."

Nan Xi picked up the long sword in the tent and performed a set of sword techniques, which stunned Ji Yun.

How come he didn't know that his daughter was actually a martial arts master?

"Dad, don't worry about me. My martial arts are very good. You definitely can't beat me."

"Nonsense! How can a girl learn martial arts?"

Ji Yun's heart ached, feeling very regretful. If only Xier was a son, with such a talent, why worry about the Ji family's prosperity?

He thought of the time when his daughter often stayed at her maternal grandparents' home, and he consciously attributed his daughter's martial arts skills to her maternal grandparents' teachings.

Yang Shuangyu's mother's family is also a famous military family. All the descendants of the Yang family have to gain experience at the border, which is much better than the Ji family.

Ji Yun felt bitter. It was not that he did not want his descendants to come to the border, but his own descendants were not numerous and there were no conditions for this.

He was the only male in his generation, and the situation was even worse for the next generation. Not only was Ji Lanchen the only male, but his body was also very weak and he was not suitable for practicing martial arts at all, let alone going to the border.

Sending him to the border would be like sending him to his death.

"Dad, don't worry. I've left a letter for Mom. She'll understand it as soon as she sees it."

Ji Yun stopped talking and acquiesced to his daughter staying. He also wanted to see his daughter's ability, and the journey was not peaceful, so he was worried about sending his daughter back.

"Then you should behave yourself and never let others discover your identity."

"understand!"

The father and daughter smiled in tacit understanding. With Ji Yun's cover, Nan Xi's identity was much easier to hide.

The general stationed at the border city was none other than the original owner’s grandfather, Duke Zhenguo Yang Hongfang.

The original owner's three cousins, Yang Xingwen, Yang Xing'an, and Yang Xingyuan, all gained experience here.

"Uncle, Grandpa said that we should go to the family dinner tonight. Let's go there quickly."

Yang Xingwen strode over and stated his intention after bowing.

Ji Yun nodded in agreement and was about to tell his nephew about his daughter's presence here when he saw Yang Xingwen's eyes wide open.

He looked at Nan Xi speechless, "You...you...you..."

Nan Xi just smiled at him, and when she smiled, two dimples appeared, showing her daughter's delicate appearance.

In fact, Yang Xingwen did not recognize that this was his little cousin, he recognized that the soldier was a girl.

Ji Yun introduced with a smile, "This is your cousin, Nan Xi."

If I don't say it out loud, Yang Xingwen will shout, and it will be bad if others hear it.

Yang Xingwen was immediately more horrified, "Uncle, how could you let Nan Xi come here?"

Nan Xi ran over and grabbed Yang Xingwen's sleeve.

"Why not? You can come but I can't?"

Yang Xingwen was really a little afraid of Nan Xi. Every time he came to his house when he was a child, he would make his house a mess and pester them to learn martial arts.

That’s fine, but the key is that they didn’t learn martial arts well enough, and they would cry when they lost. They had to give in every time, otherwise they would be chased by their mother with a stick. This was really a childhood nightmare.

It was precisely because of these experiences that Nan Xi dared to display her martial arts skills.

The original owner had indeed learned it.

"Okay, let's talk about it at the banquet tonight. Let's go now."

Nan Xi put away her smile, pulled down her hat to cover most of her face, and followed Ji Yun out.

Yang Xingwen couldn't help but smile indulgently as he watched his little cousin's expression change.

Ji Lanchen was in poor health and couldn't play with them, so it was this little cousin who had a better relationship with them.
