After I traveled through the book, my sister kidnapped my mother

"Don't worry, Mr. Su. I'm just curious about what kind of person she is. Is she really smart or does she rely on the person next to her? It won't affect our cooperation. I will never give up on the great cause of restoring the country of my Duan family." Duan Jiling stretched and looked at Su Jincheng with a smile.

Su Jincheng opened the folding fan in his hand: "Jincheng is very curious about one thing."

"What?" Duan Jiling stuffed a piece of cake into his mouth and looked at Su Jincheng seriously.

Its mouth is bulging, like a hamster.

"Princess Ling is cooperating with my Su family while having close ties with the Wen family. Which side does she want to stand on?" Su Jincheng asked with a smile.

Duan Jiling slowly ate the pastry in his mouth and drank a sip of tea to moisten his throat.

"Whoever can help Nan Shao establish a nation and support me as the leader, I will stand on his side. Is this hard to understand?"

"I don't want the world of Central Plains. I also know that the Duan family does not have the ability to compete for the Central Plains. How you fight with Sister Ke is your business. I can help you deal with His Highness Yuan Zhao, but I can't control how you fight with Wen Ke for the time being."

"Let's talk about the future later. Maybe both of you fail? Maybe all three of us fail?" Duan Jiling is now the head of the Duan family. Her father died in the battle three years ago. He was stabbed in the abdomen by a fierce general under Wen Rongxue, and died of excessive bleeding.

After my father died, my mother's illness became increasingly serious.

Three years ago, Duan Jiling was twelve years old. She was ambitious, but her methods were different from her father's.

Her father always wanted to take over Yunjing City one day and make the Duan family the masters of the world again.

Duan Jiling was still much more sober than him. With the current strength of the Duan family, how could they confront the Apocalypse army head-on?

What's more, Wen Rongxue unified all the tribes and villages in the south. Although she did not have the title of queen, she had already become a queen in reality.

The Duan family, which has been operating in the south for many years, is now no more famous than Wen Rongxue.

The Southern Kingdom has not yet been established, firstly because the Central Plains dynasty does not allow it, and secondly because Wen Rongxue himself is hesitant.

At first, Duan Jiling didn't know why she was so hesitant. After all, in her young eyes, it was Su Qingluo who took the throne that should have belonged to the Wen family.

Neither her father nor her mother could give her the answer, so Duan Jiling looked for it in books.

The book couldn't give her an answer, so she finally asked Duan Yunting for advice.

When Duan Yunting wrote back to her, he also gave her a hairpin he had made himself. There was a peacock carved on the hairpin, and the workmanship was extremely exquisite.

Duan Jiling got the answer from her aunt. Duan Yunting told her that Wen Rongxue did have ambitions, but she had seen the sufferings of the people in the south and knew that without the assistance of the Central Plains dynasty, these people would still be living an uncivilized life.

The Southern Kingdom has shipbuilding technology that can rival that of the Donglan Kingdom, but this technology is not in the hands of ordinary people, but in the hands of the Duan family. No matter how good the shipbuilding technology is, it is just empty talk for ordinary people.

But Tianqi gave Wen Rongxue a lot of support. In addition to soldiers, food and many military supplies, he also gave the craftsmen seeds.

Allow people from the Central Plains to come and reclaim wasteland and teach them farming techniques, etc.

Duan Yunting asked her to ask the old people in the village whether they had such abundant food before Wen Rongxue appeared.

She told Duan Jiling that Wen Rongxue hesitated because of the conflict between kindness and ambition in her heart.

It is not easy for the people of the Southern Kingdom to have the life they have today. If they insist on establishing themselves as kings and publicly announce the establishment of the Southern Shao Kingdom, there will definitely be war, and in the end the only ones who will suffer will be the people below.

What's more, for Wen Rongxue, her life can be considered complete.

As for the throne, the throne that Su Qingluo seized was the Wen family's, not Wen Rongxue's.

If Su Qingluo didn't fight for the throne, it would never be Wen Rongxue's turn.

After Duan Yunting said this, Duan Jiling understood.

It’s just that Wen Rongxue can control his ambition, but others can’t.

For example, Wen Ke, and the Wen family behind Wen Ke.

Of course, understanding it doesn’t mean Duan Jiling will give up.

Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers of different species? Who doesn’t want to be the most noble person in the world?

If you can't be the most honorable one, then you can always settle for the second best, being a queen is also good.

Duan Jiling's words that perhaps all three of them would fail obviously made Su Jincheng somewhat dissatisfied.

He smiled and said, "Princess Ling, there is no need to encourage others to be so ambitious."

Duan Jiling blinked at him and said, "I didn't. Actually, I personally feel that, sorry to Master Su and Sister Ke, I may have the highest chance of success. After all, there is no doubt that the current emperor is decisive in killing, right?"

"There is no doubt that Princess Yuan Zhao is the most favored, right? In comparison, I don't understand what basis you have for fighting for it?" Duan Jiling looked at Su Jincheng with a smile.

Su Jincheng's face darkened slightly, but he was indeed much smarter than Su Xingwei and was good at disguise.

It only took a moment for him to smile again.

"Princess Ling, you don't have to worry about this. The Su family naturally has its own trump card." Su Jincheng said with a smile.

Duan Jiling tilted her head slightly and smiled at him: "That's good."

She doesn't care whether Su Jincheng and Wen Ke can succeed. She only cares whether she can succeed and whether it is useful to her.

"Okay, that's all for today. Sister Ke said that no one can be killed in Nanshao City unless she leaves Nanshao City." Duan Jiling conveyed Wen Ke's words to Su Jincheng.

As for whether Su Jincheng listens or not, that is his business and Duan Jiling can't do anything about it.

She picked up a fruit and walked out of the teahouse happily. She didn't come to Nanshao City very often, so the hustle and bustle of Nanshao City was also lively for her.

It was not easy for the guards behind her to follow her carefully as she went shopping.

On the other side, Wen Zhimiao felt a headache listening to Shi Wanyue and the officials who accompanied her discussing disaster relief and flood control with the officials of Nanshao City.

I didn’t understand any of this in the first place, and because I had to act, I couldn’t participate in it, so I just sat there and played the role of a silly princess.

Shi Wanyue, acting as her agent, was in a tug of war with Wen Ke, and the two sides were having a very intense discussion.

The envoy from Yunjing said that coming to provide disaster relief was the utmost they could do.

Wen Ke hopes that the Central Plains can provide more support, such as dredging rivers and rebuilding cities.

I hope that the soldiers who came here with Wen Zhimiao can also help with disaster relief.

Shi Wanyue said she asked for too much.

Of course, this was just Wen Zhimiao’s own summary. Shi Wanyue certainly wouldn’t have said it so bluntly.

After a final tug of war, both sides took a step back. The soldiers could go to help with disaster relief, but they would only obey Wen Zhimiao's orders.

Wen Zhimiao will also be asked to help obtain supplies, but all rescue matters this time will be handed over to Wen Zhimiao. Unless the situation is extremely urgent, the conditions of all disaster-stricken areas must be reported to Wen Zhimiao in a timely manner.

When Wen Zhimiao heard Shi Wanyue say that, he was really surprised.

I didn't tell you to do this before I came!

Why does the workload have to increase out of the blue?

Faced with Wen Zhimiao's eyes full of shock and questioning, Shi Wanyue just gave her a reassuring smile.

"Sister~" Wen Zhimiao acted coquettishly towards Shi Wanyue, she didn't want to!

Although they knew Shi Wanyue's intentions and thoughts, they clearly had other choices!

Wen Ke originally suspected whether this was Wen Zhimiao's instruction, but when he saw Wen Zhimiao's reaction, he immediately dispelled his doubts.

It should not be.
