The eldest son is fierce

Old Man Mi's gaze fell on Qian Qianniang, his expression becoming more solemn. "Qilin stepping on auspicious clouds, the family emblem of the Zhuge family of Nanjing. Are you from the Zhuge family of Nanjing?"

"Tsk, you hid it well enough! No wonder the Jinyiwei couldn't find any clues about you."

Upon hearing this, Du Lingfei, Kong Shilan, and Xiao Lan's faces changed. They naturally knew about the Zhuge family of Nanjing. It was a prominent family that had been passed down for thousands of years, and in almost every dynasty, there would be a prominent figure in the Zhuge family, which lasted for a long time.

For example, Zhuge Wanwan of this generation, at the age of twenty, was already the far-reaching commander of the three armies in Nanjing.

Rumor has it that she gave the emperor almost no face when she went to the battlefield, and simply chose to ignore more than a dozen golden medals. The person behind her was the Zhuge family.

"Sister Qian, are you from the Zhuge family?"

Du Lingfei's beautiful eyes fell on Qianniang in her arms, her pretty face full of shock and astonishment. A member of the Zhuge family, a prestigious family in Nanjing, was working as a servant in her house?

Qianniang knew clearly from the moment she made the decision that Nuannuan's identity could no longer be hidden. She smiled bitterly and said, "Nuannuan is, but I am not. I am just Nuannuan's aunt."

She looked at Du Lingfei and said, "Nuannuan is the daughter of Zhuge Qingfeng, the eldest son of the Zhuge family, and my sister. The Zhuge family is far from being as prosperous and harmonious as people outside say. Instead, there is a serious internal conflict."

"A year ago, with the emperor's secret support, a major internal conflict broke out within the Zhuge family. That battle severely damaged the Zhuge family. My sister and her husband's family were almost slaughtered by the emperor. Everyone, including my husband, died. Only Nuannuan survived."

"After I found Nuannuan, I originally wanted to take her to the border to ask Zhuge Wanwan to protect her, but I didn't expect to meet human traffickers on the way and she was sold to Dayan."

"If it weren't for the flood in Jiangnan, which gave us the opportunity to escape, I'm afraid Nuannuan and I would be in a brothel for others to enjoy."

Du Lingfei patted Qianniang on the back. She really didn't expect that this woman had so much to bear, nor did she expect that this woman had such a story.

Moreover, Nuannuan is her sister's daughter. How much struggle and despair must she have felt when she disobeyed the eldest princess's order and chose to sacrifice Nuannuan?

"Then how did the princess find you? How did you become the princess's man?" Kong Shilan pursed her lips and asked.

Qianniang didn't hide anything and said, "It's funny to say it. After we escaped from Jiangnan, we originally wanted to go back to Nanjing and then find an opportunity to go back to the border town of Nanjing to find Zhuge Wanwan. She was the Marshal of the Northern Army of Nanjing at that time."

"But I didn't expect to meet the Princess's men on the way. They were intercepting refugees and told us to go to Dayan Kyoto. If we go, we can live. If we don't go... we will be killed on the spot!"

"Then, we met the hypocritical eldest princess who gave out porridge. Later, because of her beauty, she chose me and arranged me to be with the Marquis. Besides me, at least ten other people accepted the same task."

Du Lingfei and Kong Shilan's faces suddenly darkened. The eldest princess was really scheming to deal with Tang Yi. She had already made her move on the chessboard before even returning to Kyoto.

Their identities were fake, so the Jinyiwei could not find any clues. After all, the village where they were registered had been destroyed by floods.

"Master Mi, mobilize twenty experts... No, you should go there yourself and escort Nuannuan to Tianyong Pass."

Du Lingfei made a decision on the spot and said, "The Saintess of Southern Border is with my husband. She might be able to save Nuannuan. We have Shadow Sect's masters guarding us. We should be fine if we are careful."

"And I believe that my husband will send someone to pick us up when he knows we are coming to the southern border. We will leave a mark on the road and wait for them to come and meet us."

Mile glanced at Zhuge Nuannuan, then his gaze fell on Du Lingfei. The emperor's order to him was to escort Du Lingfei and the others to Tang Yi safely. Escorting Zhuge Nuannuan was not within his authority.

"Mr. Mi, Huangfu Zong of Nanjing is dead, and the 200,000 elite soldiers of the Northern Army have been almost completely wiped out. Who do you think is the general in Nanjing who can fight against my husband now?"

Du Lingfei's pretty face was solemn. She said, "It can only be Zhuge Wanwan. According to Qianniang, the emperor was wary of the Zhuge family's power and had torn them apart. Zhuge Wanwan must be disappointed with Emperor Nanjing."

"Given my husband's audacity, if he knew this information, do you believe he would dare to instigate Zhuge Wanwan to rebel?"

"With his compassionate heart, as long as the war can be resolved without anyone dying, risking his life is nothing. With Nuannuan around, his chances of success will be greatly increased."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lan and Kong Shilan's pretty faces twitched. With Tang Yi's style of doing things, he could really do such a thing.

"Mr. Mi, take Nuannuan with you and leave immediately." Xiao Lan jumped up instantly.

"Mr. Mi, take Nuannuan away first. Even if she isn't a descendant of the Zhuge family, your husband... Tang Yi won't leave her alone for fear of exposing his whereabouts."

Kong Shilan also agreed. She found that she didn't dislike the word "husband" when it came out of her mouth, and she even looked forward to it.

Du Lingfei and Xiao Lan had both said so, and Mi Lao no longer insisted. He took out a bamboo tube from his arms and handed it to Du Lingfei, saying, "Although the Jinyiwei's spies and branches in various places are not as reliable as they used to be, if we encounter a crisis, we will set off fireworks when we have no choice."

"When they see the fireworks, the nearest Jinyiwei and Jinyiwei spies will come to support immediately."

"As for Nuannuan, leave it to me!"

Old Man Mi picked up Nuannuan, jumped on his horse and left without any hesitation.

Qianniang took several steps forward, but she could no longer see Old Man Mi's back. Du Lingfei raised her hand and patted his shoulder, saying, "Don't worry, Nuannuan will be fine. The Saint of Southern Xinjiang will find a way to save Nuannuan. Even if the Saint can't, your husband will definitely find a way."

Qianniang turned around and threw herself into Du Lingfei's arms, crying heart-wrenchingly. If something happened to Nuannuan, how could she be worthy of her dead sister!

Tang Yin also squatted in front of Nuan Nuan's carriage, looking at the direction where Old Man Mic left, her big eyes filled with tears.

Brother, you are so powerful, you must save your sister!

……

On the top of a mountain hundreds of meters away from Du Lingfei and the others, a graceful figure in green stood on the edge of the cliff, watching their every move through a telescope.

"I have to say, what Tang Yi came up with is really useful. Even from such a long distance, Du Lingfei and his group seemed to be right next to them."

"Pass my order and have the people behind us quickly gather around... I want to see, between the world and women, does Tang Yi love the country or the beauty!"
