Unexpectedly, Yun Ji did not argue with her. Instead, he gently pushed her away, rested his head on the top of his head, raised his head, and met her eyes.

Their eyes met for a while, and he saw the determination in Nan Yingzhi's eyes, so he had to put away his forced calmness.

"Xiao Zhizi," Yun Ji asked helplessly with his eyelashes fluttering, "Why don't you let me go?"

Nan Yingzhi had already prepared a plan in mind, and raised three fingers: "There are three reasons."

Feeling that she was going to speak at length, Yun Ji was ready to listen attentively and nodded: "Go ahead."

"First, don't you feel uncomfortable when you smell the blood?" Thinking that he would feel extremely uncomfortable after smelling the smell, Nan Yingzhi put away her index finger, "Knowing that you would feel uncomfortable, why would I push you into the fire pit?

"Secondly, your current identity is awkward. It is obviously inappropriate for you to provide support as a concubine of the former imperial court. But this is not difficult. It is not impossible to forge a temporary identity for you.

"Third, as a woman, how can you convince a group of rough men?"

Seeing that he frowned and was about to refute her point of view, Nan Yingzhi quickly added the following words: "I know the truth that 'women are as good as men', and I also know that you have the ability to lead a general.

"But, my belief alone is useless. Sending you to the front line is just a matter of my decree.

"The difficulty is, how do you make the soldiers trust you and be willing to listen to your orders?"

"As for the bloody smell, I can make a sachet with odor-absorbing materials to block out other smells as much as possible. As for how to convince the public," Yun Ji narrowed his eyes subconsciously, as if he had a plan in mind, "I have my own way."

A few moments ago, Yun Ting and Jin An died one after another in front of her, which made Nan Yingzhi sigh that life is too fragile and death is like a cloud in a cloudy sky, following her everywhere.

Even a peaceful place is dangerous, let alone a battlefield full of swords and merciless weapons?

Not wanting to see his cold body, Nan Yingzhi took a deep breath and placed a kiss on his brow.

"Qingchuan'er," she said vaguely, her voice as light as the wind, as if she was praying for an impossible wish, "Please don't go, okay?"

"But apart from me, who else can stop the Beishuo cavalry from marching south?" Yun Ji analyzed the situation for her, "Chang Yu just said it well.

"Winter is approaching, and most of our soldiers are in the south. They cannot stand the severe cold in the north, so they may be at a disadvantage.

“Originally, in the winter, the northern border was frozen for thousands of miles, and I still hoped that the soldiers of Beishuo would not have stored enough food and grass in the autumn, so the two sides could fight to a draw.

"But unfortunately, their attack was so sudden that Nan Yi almost had to shed his skin to escape. I think all the food and fodder he brought with him must have been lost.

"They are familiar with winter warfare and have sufficient food and fodder as backup. This battle will not be easy to fight.

“So, I really have to go.”

"I understand the truth," Nan Yingzhi's heart trembled as she vaguely recalled the line "Loyal bones are buried everywhere in the green mountains, why should we return home wrapped in horsehide?" "But I'm just afraid that something will happen to you."

"Xiao Zhizi," Yun Ji realized that he had other uses besides support, so he patted her hand, "Do you know what Nan Yi can't let go of the most?"

"It's his precious daughter, eh," he blurted out the answer, and Nan Yingzhi suddenly understood his hidden meaning, "You mean, to use you to arouse his desire to protect you?"

"Yes," Yun Ji nodded, delighted that she understood immediately, "In order to protect his daughter, that is, me, he will definitely fight to the death.

"First he lost his deputy general, and then he lost a lot of troops. Nan Yi's fighting spirit is not high now. Only by taking it seriously can we stimulate his potential."

"Of course," Yun Ji was too embarrassed to mention the other function, so she coughed and passed it over, "As his daughter, I can still stay by his side and comfort him."

Nan Yingzhi had not expected these two levels of relationship. When she heard it for the first time, she seemed to be thinking about something.

Feeling that sending him out would maximize the benefits, she nodded: "That makes sense."

"So," Yun Ji concluded after shaking her hand, "sending me there will kill two birds with one stone. Little Gardenia, just let me go."

"Wait," following this line of thought, Nan Yingzhi suddenly realized something was wrong, "How are you going to explain to Nan Yi that you, a person with little martial arts skills and who happens to be his daughter, suddenly have attainments in military tactics that are not lower than his?"

Without considering how to convince his "father", Yun Ji blinked twice and choked a little.

He thought about it and simply started from the past: "When Nan Yi came to the palace to visit me, he felt that something was wrong with me and wondered how I knew about matters related to the battlefield.

“I explained at the time that it was a dream from a master.

"I think this time, I should be able to use a similar reason to get away with it."

“Qingchuan’er,” Nan Yingzhi was persuaded by him and made concessions, “I can let you go, but I won’t be at the front line, only Lan Fu and Nan Yi will be watching you.

"Before you go, promise me to take good care of yourself."

"I will." After years of wandering, Yun Ji finally found a direction to wait for. Naturally, he would not give up easily. He said firmly, "Xiao Zhizi, I will come back to see you."

Feeling reluctant to let him go, Nan Yingzhi began to feel sad when he was not gone: "After saying goodbye here, I don't know when we will meet again."

Yun Ji was also unwilling to be separated from her. He suddenly thought of "asking Xiao Zhizi to come over": "After you finish your official duties, can you come to the front line to find me?"

"Of course you can," Nan Yingzhi said, before she could figure out how far the Queen Mother's influence spread. "But there are many remnants of the old party in the court. It may take some time to clean them up."

"That's right," Yun Ji said after a moment of disappointment, then he perked up again, "I'll wait for you."

"Speaking of which, we only have the Imperial Guards," Nan Yingzhi expressed some worry that he would be bullied, "They are used to shirking responsibility and making excuses. Can you train them?"

"Don't worry about that," Yun Ji, who was famous for his strict discipline, always had his own unique way of commanding the army, "Looking at the entire Dali, there is no soldier that I cannot command.

"However, the most urgent task is to rush back to the capital, announce to the world that Dali has changed its master, and take command of the imperial guards."
