I traveled through time and became the Queen of Ancient Dian

The shadow of Agent Nangong shuttled through the night like a ghost, but the news he brought back was like a basin of cold water, extinguishing the fire of hope that had just ignited in everyone's hearts.

"General Gongsun, he...he didn't give up!" Spy Nangong knelt on one knee, his tone solemn.

Zhaoyang Ruyue and Wumeng Tianlong looked at each other and saw worry in each other's eyes.

"I knew this old fox wouldn't give up so easily!" Wumeng Tianlong couldn't help but complain, "This is even more exciting than meeting a deadline!"

It turned out that General Gongsun agreed to the peace terms on the surface, but secretly he was gathering troops more frantically and even contacted the barbarian tribes outside the kingdom, preparing to cooperate internally and externally to overthrow the Queen's rule in one fell swoop.

"6!" Zhaoyang Ruyue couldn't help but sigh that this plot twist was even more exciting than watching a costume idol drama.

She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

"Your Majesty, we must act immediately!"

The Queen's expression was solemn, and her fingers tapped lightly on the armrests of the throne, making a dull sound.

"Pass the order down, martial law is in effect throughout the city!"

The situation became tense again, and the air was filled with the smell of impending storm.

However, at this moment, an unexpected figure appeared - the Eastern Warrior.

Covered in blood, he stumbled into the hall, "Report to His Majesty, report to Miss Ruyue, report to Brother Wumeng... I... I have important information!" He took out a parchment scroll from his arms tremblingly, "This... This is General Gongsun's... top-secret plan..." After saying that, he fainted on the ground.

Zhaoyang Ruyue quickly took the parchment scroll, unfolded it and took a look, her face suddenly changed.

“This…” She suddenly looked up at Wumeng Tianlong, her eyes filled with shock, “This is simply…absolute!”

Wumeng Tianlong took the parchment scroll and took a breath after reading it.

"Goodness me, this General Gongsun is really going to do something big!"

The Queen also came over to take a look, and her face instantly darkened.

"It seems like it's time to settle accounts with General Gongsun!" A cold glint flashed in her eyes. "Pass the order down..."

"Wait!" Zhaoyang Ruyue suddenly said, "Your Majesty, this matter still needs long-term consideration..." She looked at Wumeng Tianlong with a hint of deep meaning in her eyes, "We have to first..." Zhaoyang Ruyue smiled mysteriously, lowered her voice and said to Wumeng Tianlong: "We have to 'process' this news first to achieve the best effect." Wumeng Tianlong understood immediately and showed an expression of "you know".

The two of them got together and "operated" on the parchment scroll.

In the next few days, the ancient Dian Kingdom staged a wonderful "intelligence war".

Various versions of "General Gongsun's Conspiracy" circulated among various forces, and it was difficult to distinguish between true and false, real and fake.

Some said General Gongsun planned to collude with the barbarians and divide the kingdom; some said he had hidden a large amount of treasure and was planning to abscond with the money; and some even said he was secretly practicing evil magic in a vain attempt to achieve immortality...

With the exception of General Gongsun's faction, all other factions responded with "all-you-can-eat melons" regarding the news.

The Beitang envoy originally held a neutral attitude, and now he is directly "going into hiding", saying "I am just an innocent bystander."

Advisor Ximen was already dissatisfied with General Gongsun, and now he directly "rebelled" and ran to the Queen to "cry" about General Gongsun's various evil deeds.

Even the Eastern warriors who had always been loyal to General Gongsun began to waver after hearing the news that "the general was going to abandon his brothers."

General Gongsun's alliance of forces began to show cracks, like a hollowed-out dam.

The Queen watched all this, and her admiration for Zhaoyang Ruyue and Wumeng Tianlong was like an endless torrent of water.

"You two are truly gifted!" She excitedly shook their hands. "The Ancient Dian Kingdom is truly fortunate to have you!"

Zhaoyang Ruyue and Wumeng Tianlong modestly said, "Basic operations are not bad," but they were secretly delighted in their hearts.

It was late at night and the palace was silent.

Zhaoyang Ruyue stood by the window, looking at the starry sky in the distance, with a meaningful smile on her lips.

"The fun has just begun..." She turned to look at Wumeng Tianlong, "Tomorrow, we'll go 'visit' General Gongsun."

Wumeng Tianlong nodded, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

"I can't wait to see how exciting his expression will be." He paused, then suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "Oh, remember to bring some sunflower seeds tomorrow. I think it will be a good show."

Zhaoyang Ruyue smiled. "Of course! How can I enjoy the melon properly without the seeds?" She walked to the table and picked up an exquisite wooden box. When she opened it, she found a box full of...

...melon seeds.

That’s right, it’s melon seeds.

In ancient times, snacks like melon seeds actually existed. This is probably the charm of time travel!

The next day, Zhaoyang Ruyue and Wumeng Tianlong came to General Gongsun's mansion with their "secret weapon" - melon seeds.

Before they could speak, General Gongsun walked out with a grim face and murderous eyes.

"You two little thieves! How dare you ruin my plan!"

"Oh, General, please calm down, calm down." Zhaoyang Ruyue said in surprise, "We are just here... to eat melon." As she said that, she cracked a melon seed seriously, making a crisp "crunch" sound.

"Eat melons?" General Gongsun was so angry that his beard stood up. "Are you guys making fun of me?!"

"No, no, how dare we play tricks on you, General!" Wumeng Tianlong also joined in eating the melons, "It's just that this melon is so fragrant that I can't help but want to eat a few more."

General Gongsun finally lost his patience, drew his sword, and pointed at the two men, "You are courting death!"

"General, don't be impulsive. Swords have no eyes!" Zhaoyang Ruyue said as she took out a roll of parchment from her bosom. "Actually, we came here today to show you something good."

General Gongsun took the parchment suspiciously, unfolded it, and his face turned pale instantly.

Written on it were all his crimes, as well as evidence of his collusion with various forces.

"You...you guys..." General Gongsun pointed at the two of them, his lips trembling, and he was speechless for a long time.

"General, it's not too late to surrender now!" Wumeng Tianlong said with a smile, "Those who confess will be treated leniently, and those who resist will be treated severely!"

"Dream on!" General Gongsun roared, "Even if I die, I will take you with me!" He rushed towards the two men, waving his sword.

At this moment, a burst of shouting and killing suddenly came from outside the mansion.

General Gongsun's army actually turned around and attacked his own mansion!

It turned out that Zhaoyang Ruyue and Wumeng Tianlong had secretly instigated his subordinates to rebel.

General Gongsun was suddenly in a desperate situation. He looked around in despair, like a trapped beast.

"General, have a safe journey!" Zhaoyang Ruyue and Wumeng Tianlong looked at each other and smiled victoriously.

...Next, leave it to the Queen's army!

Zhaoyang Ruyue patted the melon seed crumbs on her hands and said, "Let's go to the city wall and find a good spot to continue eating melon!"

Wumeng Tianlong nodded and took out another bag of melon seeds from his pocket. "I brought caramel flavor this time. Would you like to try it?"

On the city wall, Zhaoyang Ruyue and Wumeng Tianlong stood side by side, holding melon seeds in their hands, looking at the celebrating crowd in the city as if they were watching a grand performance.

The smoke cleared, and the sun shone on the bluestone road of the ancient Dian capital, reflecting a peaceful scene.

"It's caramel-flavored, not bad." Zhaoyang Ruyue commented, handing Wumeng Tianlong a handful of melon seeds. "It's more flavorful than the five-spice ones."

"I told you that you would like it." Wumeng Tianlong took the melon seeds with a smile, but his eyes unconsciously drifted towards Zhaoyang Ruyue.

Over this period of time, they have been through so much together, going through life and death, sharing weal and woe, and have already occupied a special place in each other's hearts.

"What are your plans next?" Zhaoyang Ruyue suddenly asked, breaking the brief silence.

"What about you?" Wumeng Tianlong did not answer directly, but asked in return.

Zhaoyang Ruyue shrugged. "Me? Of course I'll continue my archaeological research! There are still so many unsolved mysteries of the ancient Dian Kingdom waiting for me to explore!" She paused and added, "But this time, I need to find a reliable teammate."

Upon hearing this, Wumeng Tianlong raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "For example... me?"

Zhaoyang Ruyue pretended to think, then nodded seriously, "Hmm... barely qualified!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

In the following days, the ancient Dian Kingdom prospered.

The Queen held a grand celebration banquet for Zhaoyang Ruyue and Wumeng Tianlong, and named them "Heroes Protecting the Country."

At the celebration banquet, there was fine wine and delicious food, singing and dancing, and everyone was cheering and celebrating the arrival of peace.

Zhaoyang Ruyue and Wumeng Tianlong also officially confirmed their feelings for each other in this celebratory atmosphere.

They held hands, accepted everyone's blessings, and had happy smiles on their faces.

Agent Nangong remains mysterious, coming and going without a trace, and continues to guard the peace of the ancient Dian Kingdom.

The Beitang envoy returned to his country with a peace treaty.

Even the Eastern warriors who once opposed the Queen repented and became her loyal supporters.

Everything seemed to be back on track and everything was so beautiful.

Until one day, a carrier pigeon flew into the Queen's bedroom... Zhaoyang Ruyue looked at the news brought by the carrier pigeon and her face suddenly changed: "This..."
