Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

"Absolutely not." Old Madam Ning stepped forward hastily, "Everyone, don't be impulsive. Let's talk it over nicely."

"Eunuch, our Ning family has been loyal for generations, and our reputation for loyalty is known to the world. We never rebelled before, we won't rebel now, and we won't rebel in the future."

So many descendants of the Ning family died. Her husband, her son, and her grandson all sacrificed their lives for the country. She would not allow anyone to tarnish their good reputation.

The Ning family can only survive in this world if they pass down loyalty and righteousness. If they lose loyalty and righteousness, they will be condemned by all men and despised by the world.

The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict glanced at her and asked arrogantly, "Can you guarantee it?"

Madam Ning looked very serious. "I can. I swear to heaven that if the Ning family rebels, I will never be able to be reborn."

Ning Qishao closed his eyes and sighed silently. He could understand his grandmother's feelings, but times have changed.

The imperial court has taken action against the Ning family’s army. Will the Ning family still uphold loyalty and righteousness?

Ning Zhiwei was very calm. Everyone had his or her own stance. The loyalty that Old Madam Ning insisted on was earned with the blood and lives of several generations of the Ning family.

But, if the ruler wants his subjects to die, do they have to die? That is blind loyalty!

The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict was very satisfied, "The old lady is indeed loyal and righteous, worthy of being the wife of General Ning. However, you are not the head of the Ning family, nor the commander-in-chief of the Ning family army."

Madam Ning immediately looked at Young Master Ning, "Ning Xiu Ze, swear quickly."

Ning Qishao looked at the old lady in distress, "Grandma."

Old Madam Ning stared angrily. What was he hesitating about? How did his ancestors teach him? Did they forget everything?

"Hurry up, the Ning family's reputation for loyalty and righteousness cannot be ruined in our hands."

Ning Qishao sighed softly, "I swear, as long as the King of Daqi is on the throne, I will not rebel."

Why is this so weird?

The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict had no time to think about it carefully, and he looked at Ning Zhiwei impatiently.

"Ning Zhiwei, it's your turn."

Ning Zhiwei said calmly, "I am born rebellious. The more you push me, the more I want to do the opposite. So, don't push me."

The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict took a deep breath and said, "How brave you are! Come, arrest all the Ning family members."

Ning Qishao took a few steps forward, protecting the Ning family's women behind him, and said with a displeased look, "Stop, what unforgivable crime did our Ning family commit? What's the reason for arresting us?"

The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict's expression changed. The imperial envoy needed a reason to arrest someone, otherwise no one would be convinced.

"Ning Zhiwei wants to rebel."

Madam Ning Qi was extremely angry. "We have already separated. She is her and we are us. No matter what she does, it cannot implicate us."

It’s good to divide the family, it’s a very good division.

Ning Wenyin also stood in front of the two sisters and said righteously, "Our Ning family has been a family of meritorious service for generations. Our fathers and grandfathers have all been nobles. We have never committed any crime and have never rebelled. You arrested people for no reason. Do you still respect the law?"

The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict had a red face and his subordinates were hesitant.

At this moment, Chen Wang stood up angrily, "This is clearly forcing the Ning family to rebel!"

As soon as these words came out, the veterans were excited and asked, "Who dares?"

"As long as we are here, you will never be able to harm the Ning family."

Seeing that a fight was about to break out, the eunuch who delivered the imperial decree rolled his eyes and shouted loudly.

"Stop it, old lady. We have no intention of harming the Ning family. However, Ning Zhiwei is unruly and the Northwest Army must not be controlled by her."

"As long as she hands over the Northwest Army, the Ning family will be able to enjoy peace."

The real purpose is revealed.

The scene fell silent, and everyone looked at Ning Zhiwei. Ning Zhiwei looked calm and composed, as if nothing had happened, as if everything was under her control.

Madam Ning's mind raced as she spoke softly, "Zhiwei, I know you are a good kid who is tough on the outside but gentle on the inside. You are open-minded, chivalrous, and brave. You will defend your family and friends to the death, but you have a hard temper."

"Back then, my husband risked his title to save you from the kang. He offended the Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion and the Imperial Concubine in the palace because of you, which led to his difficulties and his military pay being blocked everywhere."

"You have lived up to the old general's expectations and have grown into the most beautiful girl in the world. You stepped forward when the Ning family was in danger and saved them from danger. I will never forget this kindness."

"I know that you are not someone who clings to power. Everything you do is to protect your family and the people living on the border."

She repeatedly affirmed Ning Zhiwei's efforts, which was sincere and moving.

"You've done enough. You're too tired. Let your seventh brother take over from now on. He's a man and a descendant of the Ning family. He should shoulder his responsibilities."

Ning Zhiwei had to admit that the fact that Old Madam Ning was able to run the Ning Mansion in the capital on her own was not in vain.

As people get older, they become more intelligent and powerful.

Unfortunately, the person she met was herself. Having lived two lives and escaped death, she had long been invulnerable to swords and guns, and her heart was as hard as a rock.

"Can he lead the troops? If not, who should he be in charge of?"

Old Madam Ning frowned. She understood the difficulty, but the imperial court was pressing forward, so the Ning family had no choice but to retreat.

Suddenly, Chen Wang stood up, knelt on one knee in front of Ning Qishao, and said righteously, "Although I am old, I can still fight again. I am deeply indebted to the old general. I am willing to assist the seventh young master with all my strength. No, I will obey the orders of the patriarch."

The other veteran soldiers knelt on one knee and said, "I am willing to go through fire and water for the master of the family, no matter what it takes."

"I am willing to be the master's vanguard, fighting on the battlefield, even if I die, I will have no regrets."

Ning Qishao was stunned and instinctively felt that something was wrong.

Madam Ning was so moved that her eyes turned red. "It is hard to believe that you are so loyal. It is a blessing for the Ning family to have veterans like you."

Madam Ning Qishao was even more delighted. See, she said there is always a way out.

"Seventh Young Master and I have seen your loyalty."

"Pfft." Ning Zhiwei couldn't help laughing.

Madam Ning looked over and said, "Zhiwei, you should be relieved now. They will fight for Xiaoqi everywhere."

There are people who are willing to do what she is unwilling to do! Loyalty is available!

Chen Wang stood up, straightened his chest, and bowed his hands, "Please ask the Princess Jingning to hand over the military token."

Ning Zhiwei showed a mocking look on his face, "Who should I give it to?"

Chen Wang's heart tightened. "Of course it's the new head of the Ning family, the great general appointed by the emperor. Our Ning family army is loyal to the Ning family, and the head of the Ning family is our master."

Mrs. Ning Qishao was overjoyed, "Okay, okay, the Seventh Young Master will not forget you truly loyal soldiers."

"Hahaha." Ning Zhi couldn't help smiling.

Madam Ning Qishao felt that she was mocking her and asked angrily, "What are you laughing at?"

Chen Wang didn't dare to let Ning Zhiwei talk any more, and shouted, "Don't delay any more, this military token is not yours, you are not qualified..."

Before he could finish, Ning Zhiwei interrupted him, "Everyone listen, put down your weapons. I will count to three. If anyone dares not obey my order, don't blame me for being ruthless."

She waved her hand and her men raised their bows and arrows and aimed them, each locking onto a specific target.

The attack was fast, fierce and accurate.

Madam Ning was shocked. "Ning Zhiwei, if you want to die, don't drag us down with you."

Ning Zhiwei's aura was fully revealed, and he raised a finger, "One, two..."

"three."

At three o'clock, long arrows were shot out and hit the target. Anyone who did not lay down their weapons was shot in the arm, no matter if they were the Imperial Guards or the old soldiers of the Ning family, no one was spared.

"Ah ah ah."

"Jingning County Lady, why don't you even let us old people go? Are you trying to exclude dissidents?"

Ning Zhiwei turned a deaf ear and became more assertive, "I'll give you one more chance, lay down your weapons, otherwise..."

She uttered three murderous words from her red lips, "Kill without mercy."

Everyone realized that she was not joking, but really intended to kill.

"One, two..."

"Stop." An angry shout rang out.

It was the veteran general Chen Wang. He held Madam Ning hostage, with a sword across her neck. "Jingning County Lady, put down your weapon, or I will kill her."

The sudden change made everyone confused...
