His innermost thoughts were revealed, and he ventured into a fictional dynasty with the system.

Hua Lingxiao watched quietly as Qin Qianluo methodically directed the destruction of the opium. Her resolute expression and decisive actions showed that she was truly fulfilling her previous promise.

In an instant, Hua Lingxiao's heart was filled with ripples, and his goodwill towards Tianxuan spread like a spring in his heart.

He pondered to himself, how could a princess of such high status place such importance on her promises in such a matter concerning the national economy and people's livelihood, and fulfill them immediately without any hesitation or perfunctory attitude?

This is by no means accidental; it must be a belief and principle upheld by the entire nation of Tianxuan.

Presumably, within the Tianxuan territory, whether it is high-ranking officials in the imperial court or ordinary people in the marketplace...

They all regarded reputation as the foundation of their character, as if it were a sacred principle, and dared not desecrate it in the slightest.

Hua Lingxiao's thoughts deepened, and he became increasingly convinced that a country that could cultivate such a strong sense of keeping promises and keeping trust must have a profound cultural heritage and a sound legal system.

Its civilization must be prosperous and flourishing, its people living in peace and contentment, and its society in perfect order. Such a nation is worlds apart from the corrupt, decadent, and crumbling Xuanyuan Kingdom.

Thinking of this, Hua Lingxiao secretly rejoiced that his decision to submit to Tianxuan was indeed an extremely wise and correct move.

And his delicate and lovely daughter will surely thrive in this hopeful and vibrant Tianxuan Kingdom, embarking smoothly on a bright and promising future.

She can thrive under a good education and display her talents in a just national environment, no longer trapped by the chaos and gloom of Xuanyuan Kingdom, and live a smooth life without any worries.

After several days of hard work, with the concerted efforts and cooperation of all the soldiers, they finally succeeded in seizing and collecting most of the opium within the territory of Xuanyuan Kingdom. Only the opium hidden in the palace has not yet been found.

At that time, the sky was overcast and covered with thick, leaden clouds, as if foreshadowing that the battle against drugs still had its final hardships and obstacles.

Qin Qianluo dared not slacken in the slightest and immediately led several trusted confidants to conduct a thorough investigation. The howling wind swept past, fluttering their clothes, but it could not shake their unwavering determination.

They searched every inch of land, every house, leaving no corner unchecked, until they confirmed that nothing had been missed.

Only then did they begin to meticulously record key information such as the quantity, form, and approximate purity of the opium, and then they immediately began to select suitable locations for its destruction.

The imperial city is located deep inland and is not adjacent to the vast sea. Qin Qianlu searched everywhere and finally found a vast and open sandy area.

The area is surrounded by overgrown weeds, and the sand trembles in the wind. Although it is somewhat desolate, it is far from populated areas and is unlikely to disturb the people.

She immediately ordered her soldiers to evacuate the scattered residents in the surrounding area to ensure the destruction process was foolproof. She then resolutely decided to destroy this batch of opium, which was harming the country and its people, on this very spot.

Preparations were underway in full swing. The soldiers worked together to move out the large vats and iron barrels they had painstakingly collected over the past few days, arranging them neatly like soldiers ready for battle.

Qin Qianluo then took out a large amount of lime that she had prepared in advance from her space, and at the same time sent someone to fetch enough clean water from a distance, and placed it next to her.

Unfortunately, there was no advanced machinery available at the time to crush opium, so the only option was to rely on manual labor to cut it into pieces.

Qin Qianluo knew that this work was fraught with danger, so she first ordered the soldiers to carefully put on the gas masks that she had taken from the space before starting the difficult process of cutting the opium into pieces.

The soldiers, armed with sharp blades, carefully cut the opium into evenly sized pieces.

At this moment, the scorching sun hung high, relentlessly baking the earth. Sweat soaked through the soldiers' clothes, yet not a single one complained.

After cutting, everyone placed the opium fragments into the prepared container one by one according to the specific proportions instructed by Qin Qianluo, and then added lime and water.

Then, holding a long wooden stick, stir carefully and attentively to ensure that the mixture is evenly combined and that the reaction is complete.

While personally demonstrating to everyone how to check the reaction process, Qin Qianluo's eyes were focused and her movements were skillful. She held a wooden stick and stirred the container.

That resolute expression seemed to proclaim the end of opium. Having gone through this ordeal, she finally got rid of this major worry, and felt a little relieved.

However, if we can destroy all the existing opium this time, and then carefully instruct the officials who come to govern this area in the future to strictly prohibit it, then such a poisonous substance as opium will be difficult to appear in Tianxuan, and the people of Tianxuan will be spared from its calamity.

It took two whole days to destroy all the opium. Throughout the process, Qin Qianluo held the sophisticated monitoring instrument provided by her spatial storage and never left the destruction site.

At night, the cool moonlight shone on the sand, and the surroundings were so quiet that only the sound of stirring and the slight hum of the instruments could be heard.

She pays close attention to the subtle changes in her surroundings, her eyes revealing determination and caution, striving to ensure that the surrounding soil and water sources are not polluted.

She also carefully taught the soldiers who would stay behind to a certain ancient method of monitoring, explaining it patiently and demonstrating it herself.

They were instructed to continue monitoring until the surrounding ecosystem was fully restored, ensuring that no hidden dangers remained.

Qin Qianluo focused her attention on the containers used for destruction, her brows furrowing slightly as she fell into deep thought. At this time, there were no suitable instruments to destroy these items, making the situation truly troublesome.

Seeing Qin Qianlu staring blankly at the damaged containers, 001 asked curiously, "Luo Bao, is there something wrong with these containers?"

Qin Qianluo lightly scratched her forehead, slightly annoyed. "These containers should be destroyed, but we don't have the technology for that right now. I really don't know what to do with them."

Upon hearing this, 001 cheerfully replied, "Luo Bao, you can put the container into your spatial storage. The spatial storage has a self-cleaning function, Luo Bao, have you forgotten?"

Qin Qianluo's eyes lit up, and she smiled, "001 is so smart. We waited until nightfall to put these into our storage space. Luckily you were here."

Upon hearing Luo Bao's praise, 001 fluttered its wings joyfully, dancing several times in the air, seemingly delighted to be able to help Qin Qianluo.

Now that the problem of container destruction had been solved, Qin Qianluo had someone record the number of containers destroyed and save it properly as a backup.

The thought of the prolonged siege of the imperial palace filled him with doubt. How could the combined strength of General An Yuan, General Piaoji, and General Hua fail to subdue it? What was the reason behind this?

Could it be that Hua Lingxiao has broken his promise? But based on the information 001 has given about Hua Lingxiao, he doesn't seem to be such an untrustworthy person. If not, where does the problem come from?

After racking her brains to no avail, Qin Qianluo decided to go to the palace to find out for herself. She straightened her clothes and headed towards the palace.

Qin Qianlu walked hurriedly, and in a short while she arrived outside the majestic palace. Stepping into the tent used for meetings, she saw that all the generals and strategists had already gathered inside.

With a solemn expression, Qin Qianlu first gave General An Yuan a detailed account of the opium destruction, including the quantity of opium and the methods of destruction.

She reported on all the circumstances encountered during the destruction process and the final results. After finishing her report, she steadily walked to the back, sat down calmly, and listened attentively to the enthusiastic discussion among the crowd.

Everyone chimed in with their own opinions, and as Qin Qianluo listened carefully, she gradually understood why the army had been besieging the place for so long but had still been unable to breach the palace.

Looking up, the palace walls seemed to tower into the clouds like giants, making it extremely difficult to set up siege ladders on them.

Moreover, the palace guards were highly trained and worked closely with the imperial guards. In addition, the remaining seven experts fought desperately, forming an impenetrable wall of defense, making it difficult for our side to find an effective breakthrough for the time being.

Qin Qianlu lowered her head slightly, lost in deep thought. She secretly pondered whether she could use firearms to blast open the palace gates; the powerful force would surely break through the obstacle in front of her instantly.

However, this idea was quickly met with numerous problems. Not to mention the difficulty in finding a reasonable explanation for the origin of the cannon.

Once used, repairing the breached palace gates would undoubtedly cost a fortune. She frowned, racking her brains, wondering if there was a way to achieve the best of both worlds.

It was possible to successfully open the palace gates without exposing one's own secrets, and at the same time, without causing excessive damage to the palace, thus avoiding a waste of a lot of money.

This matter was tangled in her mind like a knotted tangle, giving Qin Qianluo quite a headache.

She was filled with helplessness. She didn't want to expose too many of her secrets by using firearms, but she also really didn't want to linger outside the palace for long.

She is completely unaware that, without her knowledge, 001 has already completely exposed her, leaving her with no secrets whatsoever.

Thinking of this, Qin Qianluo felt a pang of melancholy. Her birthday this year had passed quietly on this journey, without the company of her family.

As for her sister's coming-of-age ceremony, which should have been an extremely important moment for the family, she was also unable to miss it.

Although I had sent someone to carefully select a gift to take back as a token of my appreciation, I still felt a little regretful deep down.

At this moment, she had only one simple yet strong wish: to return home and reunite with her family during the New Year.

Looking back on this year, almost all of my time was spent wandering in the wind and rain, and my longing for my family surged like a tide in my heart.

She secretly vowed that once the matter of Xuanyuan was completely resolved, she would stay by her family's side and never leave them again.

After some discussion, the new strategy was roughly determined, and then they left the camp in twos and threes.

Qin Qianluo returned to her tent alone, her heart filled with many thoughts. With a heart full of worries, she slipped into her spatial dimension.

Upon seeing Qin Qianluo enter, 001 excitedly flapped its small wings and swiftly landed on Qin Qianluo's shoulder like lightning, standing firmly there.

It even affectionately rubbed its fluffy head against Qin Qianluo's cheek, then barked happily twice.

However, it quickly noticed that Qin Qianluo wasn't in high spirits, so it tilted its head, its eyes full of confusion, and asked, "Luo Bao, what's wrong? Why are you unhappy?"

Qin Qianluo slightly raised her hand and gently patted 001's little head, forcing a smile at the corner of her mouth.

She said softly, "I'm not unhappy, just a little worried about how to find a suitable breakthrough in the palace without revealing too much."

As you know, the Xuanyuan Imperial Palace is now heavily guarded, and its layout is as intricate as a maze. Opening the palace gates is a thorny problem.

Upon hearing this, 001 immediately turned his gaze to the light screen that was floating in the air and emitting a faint glow, which displayed the layout of the imperial palace.
