To avoid panic and helplessness in the face of danger, they carefully put away the documents, secretly planning that they would study diligently and meticulously after returning home, so as not to disappoint the emperor's trust and expectations.

The commotion in the imperial study gradually subsided, returning to silence. Those generals who were not selected for the campaign did not stand idly by, but instead devoted themselves to planning the battle.

They all shared the same grand ambition: to end the war successfully before the biting winter winds swept across the land, and then return in triumph.

After a brief reunion with her mother and sister, sharing a warm moment, Qin Qianluo returned to her courtyard and then slipped into her training space.

Meanwhile, Youming, who had been traveling non-stop and at lightning speed, had already quietly infiltrated the capital. Like a shadowy figure in the night, he silently stepped into the brothel where Ling Xue and the other two had once stayed.

This place is a secret stronghold of the Xuanyuan Kingdom in the capital. For many years, it has been like a pearl buried in the shadows, never being noticed by anyone.

Not long after Youming entered the room, a person wearing a jade mask floated in like a ghost. Beneath the mask, only a pair of bright, shimmering eyes were visible, their gaze seemingly sparkling with brilliance.

Upon seeing this, Youming immediately bowed respectfully, his posture low and his attitude humble. The newcomer nodded slightly in acknowledgment, and then a voice of indistinct gender drifted from beneath the mask: "Have you come for Qin Qianluo?"

Upon hearing this, Youming nodded without hesitation and replied, "That's right. This woman has escaped from my grasp time and time again. If I don't capture her myself, how can I save face? I really can't swallow this insult."

Upon hearing the words of the Netherworld, the woman's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, her thoughts drifting back to the wondrous figure she had seen in the past, and her miraculous ability to vanish into thin air. She couldn't help but chuckle softly.

He glanced at the defiant man and said sarcastically, "We can't do anything about her even on our own turf, and now you want to capture her in another country? Isn't that just wishful thinking?"

Youming was speechless, choked by these words, and had no reply. He knew all too well that he was powerless to deal with Qin Qianluo even within the territory of Xuanyuan Kingdom.

Now that she's in Tianxuan, capturing her is an impossible task. However, the flame of resentment burning within him burns fiercely and cannot be extinguished.

With a determined heart, Youming lifted his robes, knelt on one knee, and earnestly pleaded, "I beg you to lend me a hand. If I don't avenge this grudge, I will be restless day and night, unable to eat or sleep."

The man glanced indifferently at Youming kneeling on the ground, lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment before saying slowly, "If the time is right, I will lend a hand. As for other matters, you shall find a way to resolve them yourself."

Having said that, without waiting for Youming's response, she turned and left. Her figure was light and graceful, like a floating cloud, and she disappeared from Youming's sight in an instant.

Youming watched the departing figure, then slowly stood up. Though his heart was filled with resentment and dissatisfaction, he dared not utter a single complaint and could only swallow it all silently.

After finishing her training, Qin Qianluo stepped out of the space and headed straight for Qingfeng Academy. She looked around and saw that everything was as before, without any abnormalities, so she did not linger.

Afterwards, she went straight to a farm in the suburbs to begin preparations for the production of the fabric. At this time, in the Tianxuan Kingdom, the cost of fabric was exorbitant, like a heavy mountain weighing on the shoulders of the people and the court.

When she brought Qianchao and the others over that day, she had the idea of ​​building a factory, aiming to optimize the fabric production process and overcome many problems such as fabric dyeing.

After careful consideration, she decided to test it herself first. Once she had mastered the core technology and key points, she would then pass it on to the people in the Ministry of Revenue so that they could learn it carefully.

This way, the progress might be much faster. After all, she had very little prior knowledge in this area.

Only through our own practice and exploration can we better understand the mysteries involved, promptly identify and resolve potential problems, and thus avoid unnecessary waste of time.

At this moment, the factory is still under construction, and the production of the spinning jenny and the water-powered spinning wheel is also proceeding simultaneously.

At present, the Tianxuan Kingdom still uses relatively backward tools such as spinning wheels and hand-cranked spinning wheels, which make the speed of spinning and weaving extremely slow, which is one of the important reasons why the fabric is expensive.

In addition, the cultivation of natural fibers also requires careful planning. Qin Qianluo specifically selected a suitable area for silkworm rearing, and at the same time, she also took into account the dyes needed for dyeing.

Fortunately, the craftsmen at the farm were all experienced veterans who understood things quickly and were like nimble chess pieces, swiftly taking their positions under her guidance, saving a lot of tedious and troublesome work.

Qin Qianluo first delivered the data on the water-powered spinning wheel and the spinning jenny to the Ministry of Revenue, instructing them to immediately begin manufacturing the necessary tools. Further matters would await her testing. This arrangement aimed to expedite the overall process and improve efficiency.

As Qin Qianluo was concentrating on preparing various materials, a pair of beautiful eyes, like cold stars, were fixed on her from the shadows.

A hint of interest flickered in his eyes, like the sharp glint of a hunter spotting his prey. Beneath the mask, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, forming a meaningful curve.

Qin Qianluo keenly sensed that someone was secretly watching her. She immediately became alert, looked around, and searched carefully, but found nothing.

She then had 001 investigate further, but still found no clues. Frustrated, she had no choice but to give up for the time being, secretly thinking that perhaps she was just overthinking things.

As Qin Qianluo thought about being in the capital, her initial wariness gradually dissipated, and she stopped worrying too much. She focused all her attention on arranging various tasks.

She handled everything meticulously, no matter how small. Only when the sun was setting and the afterglow painted the sky a fiery red did she hurriedly rush home.

Time flies like an arrow. The Shadow Guard's secret report, after many twists and turns, finally reached the capital successfully. Everything went as expected.

Preparations were completed step by step, and now was the perfect time to launch an attack on the Xuanyuan Kingdom. Grain supplies flowed in like a never-ending river, then were transported swiftly to the border, providing a solid material foundation for the upcoming war.

At the start of the morning court session, the Golden Palace was solemn and dignified. The Emperor, with his imposing countenance and piercing gaze, ordered General Anyuan and General Piaoji to step forward and receive the imperial edict. After speaking, the Emperor personally bestowed upon the two men tiger tallies, a symbol of their absolute military power.

Immediately afterwards, the Emperor spoke with authority, ordering the two to immediately lead an army of 200,000 men to set out, aiming their swords at the Xuanyuan Kingdom, determined to conquer it and uphold the prestige of the Tianxuan Kingdom.

Qin Qianluo was lost in her own thoughts, her eyes slightly vacant, as if she were in another world. It wasn't until the Emperor's order to go on the expedition reached her ears that she snapped out of her reverie and came back to her senses.

After all the ministers had finished expressing their opinions and suggestions, Qin Qianluo took a graceful step forward. Her figure was elegant yet resolute as she walked straight to the center of the hall.

Then, she knelt down and performed a standard and solemn salute, her dress spreading gracefully on the ground like a blooming black lotus.

Immediately afterwards, she parted her red lips slightly, her voice clear and melodious, like pearls falling on a jade plate, echoing in the silent hall: "Your Majesty, I have heard that my Tianxuan Kingdom is about to launch a military campaign against the Xuanyuan Kingdom."

The Xuanyuan Kingdom has acted perversely and committed countless evil deeds, causing innocent people to suffer greatly and endure untold misery. This time, His Majesty has resolutely decided to send troops.

This truly stems from a compassionate heart, an inability to bear the suffering of people in other countries. Such a magnanimous spirit, like a vast ocean, commands our utmost respect.

Qin Qianluo paused slightly, then her expression became even more determined, and she continued, "I have also heard that His Majesty intends to send General Anyuan and General Piaoji to lead an army on an expedition."

This decision is truly brilliant and decisive, demonstrating Your Majesty's wisdom and courage. However, I dare to humbly request Your Majesty's permission to accompany me to the front lines.

From a young age, I have diligently studied martial arts and military strategy, and have thoroughly researched ancient and modern battle examples and methods of troop deployment. Although my talents are not as outstanding as those of the two generals.

But I also possess a burning desire to serve my country, and I yearn to fight bravely on the battlefield for Your Majesty and for the Tianxuan Kingdom, contributing my humble strength."

Qin Qianlu raised her head, her eyes bright and determined: "I have devoted a great deal of effort to exploring the land of Xuanyuan Kingdom."

The terrain, the elevation changes, the fortifications, the strategic passes, and even the unique customs and traditions of the region are all known to us.

If I could accompany the army on this expedition, I could use my knowledge of the local terrain to guide the army to the most convenient shortcut, skillfully leading the army to avoid dangerous places and launch a surprise attack on the enemy.

When the two armies clash and engage in battle, I wish to closely follow the two generals, constantly observing the changing battlefield situation. In light of this, I will certainly do my utmost to offer advice and strategies.

He might personally lead an elite force to charge into battle at a critical moment, striking directly at the enemy's heartland; or he might maneuver around to the enemy's flank, launching a swift encirclement, and working together with his generals and soldiers to defeat Xuanyuan's army.

My loyalty to Your Majesty is like the sun and moon high in the sky, bright and pure, without any impurities, and can be clearly seen by the world. My only wish is to be able to wear heavy armor and hold a sharp blade.

Without hesitation, I rushed to the battlefield filled with smoke and fire. I know full well that the road ahead will be fraught with thorns, countless hardships and dangers, and even life and death will be unpredictable.

However, I am fearless and hope that Your Majesty will grant my request so that I may fight alongside the generals and share their joys and sorrows.

Your subject hereby swears that once embarking on this journey, you will give your all, even at the cost of your life, to win a glorious victory for Your Majesty and to forge unparalleled glory for our Tianxuan Kingdom.

If I break this oath, I am willing to accept the full force of military law, even if it means dying ten thousand times, I will have no complaints whatsoever.

Upon hearing Qin Qianluo's impassioned speech requesting to fight, the officials fell silent for a moment, and the entire hall seemed to be enveloped in a quiet and solemn atmosphere.

A moment later, an incredulous uproar erupted. The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, their eyes reflecting shock and confusion.

What is Princess Qingyun saying? She actually wants to go to the battlefield? How can this be allowed? Many officials exclaimed inwardly.

Qin Xiang's face was full of disapproval. His gaze was fixed on his daughter, Qin Qianluo, his eyes filled with tenderness and worry.

Luo'er had already risked her life, venturing alone into the Xuanyuan Kingdom, and endured countless hardships to bring back that invaluable map.

Now, the battlefield is extremely dangerous, with swords flashing and shadows flying. A slight mistake could cost you your life. How could he bear to let his precious daughter go on such a dangerous mission again?

Su Jinyun was also utterly shocked. Her eyes widened, her heart filled with astonishment and unease. Did Qianlu really want to go to the battlefield? Absolutely not!
