Female-to-male: I live on farming
Chapter 188 Sneaking into the Capital
In fact, ever since the princess incorporated the Zhenbei Army, the court's military reports on the northern border have been cut off. By the time the court learned the news, the princess had already led the Xuanjia Army and the Zhenbei Army to recover the lost territory.
The delay in information caused the court to completely lose control of the northern border. Now the people in the northern border only knew the princess, but not the court.
By the time the news reached Zhong Shi, the princess had actually recovered the thirteen cities of Jiaozhou and was working on rebuilding the northern defense line.
Of course, the princess did not have time to wait for the northern defense line to be rebuilt. After the arrangements were almost complete, she prepared to take the army back. She could rest assured that her grandfather was in charge of the Zhenbei Army.
She promoted several deputy generals from the Zhenbei Army, which in disguise shared the military power in Qin Zheng's hands. These promoted deputy generals were basically old men who served during the tenure of Marquis Xiao, and were considered to be Marquis Xiao's faction.
In this way, even if Qin Zheng has rebellious intentions in the future, there will be someone to restrain him.
"Grandfather, I'm sorry to trouble you with the northern border." Jinyang looked at his gray hair with a hint of apology in his eyes.
Lord Xiao patted her shoulder and said unhappily, "You are my granddaughter. You are my only relative. Why should we be so polite when we are a family?"
At this point, he added in a more serious tone, "You are now planning a great cause, and the Xiao family is weak and can only provide you with limited help. I am very happy that I can do something to help you now."
"Yes, Grandfather. I have ordered the Black Armor Army to break camp and set off in three days."
"Be careful. With your current status, you just need to stay at the rear. Don't do the same as last time. If you make a mistake, all our efforts will be wasted." Marquis Xiao frowned and warned her.
Jinyang could only nod in agreement helplessly. Her grandfather had been nagging her about the injury he suffered last time these days, and calluses appeared on her ears.
"Yes, I will be more careful in the future."
After talking with his grandfather, Jinyang summoned Li Nanqiao, who was patrolling near the main tent at the time.
"See Your Highness."
Jinyang had never thought that Li Nanqiao would grow up to this point. She had no impression of her at the beginning, and only knew that she was a maid following Lu Youqing.
Later, through Qin Ke's relationship, she went to the military camp with Xiao Anyi. When she heard Anyi talk about it, she just nodded.
Until the women's army was formed later, Li Nanqiao, as the first female soldier, naturally became the leader of the team.
An Yi thinks highly of her, saying that she is naturally strong and tall, which are her innate advantages. But she is also hardworking and knows how to study.
Until today, he has become the leader of her Fengyu Guard.
"We will set off back to Yizhou in three days. You don't have to join the army. I have something to arrange for you to do." Jinyang took out a secret letter from a thick pile of reports on the desk.
"Please give me your instructions, Your Highness."
Nan Qiao knew that the princess must have something important to tell her to do, and her expression became serious.
Jinyang's right wrist was still wrapped in a bandage. He had not worn tight-sleeved clothes in recent days. His slender and clean fingers were round and transparent, and he was holding the secret letter at this moment.
Li Nanqiao could only see the back of the paper and couldn't make out the contents on it.
After reading it for a while, the princess held the letter in her hand and slowly walked to the candlestick. She placed the letter above the candle and let the flame slowly devour the letter until the last bit of ash disappeared.
"Choose some good fighters from the Fengyu Guards, and you can also choose people from the Xuanjia Army. Take your men to sneak into the capital secretly, go to this address, and pick up someone for me. You will know the details when you get there."
Jinyang picked up a pen and wrote down an address in the capital on a piece of paper.
Li Nanqiao saw the importance of the matter from Her Highness's tone. He took the note from the Princess and read it silently several times. After memorizing it in his mind, he destroyed it on the spot.
After only two years of learning to read and write, she had already learned most words. Although she was not good at poetry or songs, at least she had no problem with her daily life.
"You must be careful on this trip. Even if you cannot complete the mission, you must ensure the safety of that person."
Li Nanqiao bowed his hands and accepted the order: "Your Highness, rest assured, I will complete the mission at all costs."
Li Nanqiao took the order and immediately asked his deputy general to temporarily manage the affairs of Fengyu Guard.
Since it was a disguised infiltration, Li Nanqiao gave priority to those who had carried out the infiltration mission last time. In addition, he also specially selected someone who was good at dealing with people.
Most of the people in Fengyu Guard were from Liangzhou and Yizhou and had never been to the capital. So Li Nanqiao selected a few people who had been to the capital from the Xuanjia Army. With someone familiar to lead the way, they would not be blind when they got there.
The people chosen to join the Black Armor Army were the old men who had followed the eldest princess from the capital to be granted the title of Liangzhou. They were extremely loyal to the eldest princess.
They took off their military uniforms and left the military camp lightly before the Black Armor Army set off. Except for the eldest princess, no one knew what they were going to do.
Even the vast majority of the army did not notice that a few people were missing.
They abandoned their horses in the suburbs of the capital and entered the capital in different groups. Some disguised themselves as couples, some as brothers and sisters. They entered the capital in different batches and not even on the same day.
Li Nanqiao was wearing coarse cloth clothes, which was no different from her previous attire in Qinghe Village, except that her temperament was very different from before.
She could only deliberately hunch her body to cover up her upright military posture, and deliberately smeared black ash on her face to make herself look as ordinary as possible.
Carrying the package, he entered an inconspicuous clothing store in the capital. There were only a few styles of clothes in the store and it was located in a remote area, so it was very deserted.
The store was empty when she entered, except for the shop owner, who was sitting behind the counter, bored, playing with an abacus with his chin propped up.
Seeing her come in, he raised his eyelids and said weakly, "Welcome, sir, is there anything you like?"
"I'm here to pick up the bamboo green dark flower cloud brocade that I ordered from the store. I wonder if the shopkeeper has finished it?"
As soon as these words fell, the shopkeeper, who had been lazy and casual, had a fierce look in his eyes. He stood up a little straighter, stared at Li Nanqiao and asked, "Is it ready? I wonder if you have brought the remaining silver?"
"Thirteen taels and seven cents, everything is ready." Li Nanqiao subtly revealed the sign in his arms while speaking.
The shopkeeper immediately changed his expression, bent down slightly, and said in a low voice: "Li Liang greets you, sir. Please follow me."
Li Nanqiao carefully looked around and made sure no one was paying attention before following him into the inner door.
After entering the inner room, Li Liang gently turned the vase standing next to the wall, and then he saw a secret door on the original wall opened automatically.
This clothing store looks ordinary on the surface, but the secret door is full of twists and turns until you push open the door and enter a house.
