The general's eldest daughter has a spatial ability

After hearing Ling'er's words, Li Liuyun pulled Nangong Li aside and said, "Ling'er just reminded me that a group of people on horseback are galloping towards us about a mile away. We don't know if they are friend or foe. Just in case, we should prepare ourselves. Fortunately, we just gave them some spiritual spring water, so their strength should not be a problem."

Nangong Li nodded after hearing Li Liuyun's words: "There used to be only one main road leading to the border. It's possible that the border area felt the tremors during this earthquake, or it's possible that your uncle and his men sent people to check."

Moreover, Wuyou was already at the border, so they must know our itinerary. Maybe your uncle and his family came to pick you up.

"You're right, we still need to be absolutely sure. But Seventeen, you have to promise me that if... I mean, if we really encounter an enemy attack, if... I mean if we're outmatched, you must protect yourself. Unless absolutely necessary, never reveal the existence of this space."

Hearing Nangong Li's words, Li Liuyun patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, my space not only contains miraculous medicines, but also plenty of poisons, which are colorless, odorless, and lethal upon contact with blood! If the people who come are truly enemies, I have plenty of ways to make them disappear without a trace."

"Don't worry about it. After all, my master is the Valley Master of Shengu Valley. It's perfectly normal for him to give me some poison for self-defense."

Nangong Li listened to Li Liuyun's words and thought about it; they made sense. What was wrong with him? With Seventeen's skills, let alone ten or so people, even twice as many wouldn't be a match for her; they wouldn't be enough for her to handle. Not to mention him and the guards around him.

Nangong Li shook his head helplessly: "I was wrong. I don't know what's wrong with me lately, I'm always worrying unnecessarily. I hope Seventeen will forgive me."

Li Liuyun smiled and said, "How could I laugh at you? Have you ever heard the saying, 'Concern leads to confusion'? Besides, I really enjoy being protected by you; it makes me feel wonderful."

Nangong Li chuckled and tapped Li Liuyun's nose: "I'm glad you don't find me long-winded. If I could, I would do my best to protect you. But with your equipment and abilities, it seems you probably don't need anyone's protection right now. You should be worried about those who want to hurt you!"

"Wrong! That's not right! We shouldn't worry about those who want to hurt me, but rather those who have the intention to hurt me, my family, and my friends!"

"I never kill innocent people indiscriminately, but my family and friends are my bottom line. And those bastards who, for their own selfish gain, attempt to overthrow the government and instigate war between two nations! Just thinking about those bastards' drug-like humanoids makes me want to rush to the Prime Minister's mansion and tear him to pieces."

Nangong Li nodded after hearing Li Liuyun's words: "After all, this concerns national affairs, and it cannot be completely resolved by simply killing one person."

Speaking of the Southern Frontier, Chu Huainan and Mu Yunfei have really impressed me. Fortunately, the people from the Holy Palace appeared the day before and took Murong Xing and her son away.

Otherwise, if they were traveling with us today, they might become suspicious if they encountered this earth dragon turning over.

“Yes, we’re almost at Southern Xinjiang. Murong Xing and his mother are, after all, members of the Southern Xinjiang royal family. It’s really inappropriate to bring them into my uncle’s military camp. Besides, we’ll have to be discreet along the way, which is too inconvenient.”

Li Liuyun also started complaining, thankful that he and his mother had left with the people from the Holy Palace the day before their departure.

"Alright, tell them to be careful and take precautions," Li Liuyun said again.

Nangong Li nodded and looked at Wushuang, An Yi, and the others not far away: "Wushuang, An Yi, give the order: everyone be on high alert!"

Everyone had just finished eating and was marveling at how convenient the compressed biscuits were. After eating one compressed biscuit and drinking a few sips of water, the several grown men actually felt full.

"Yes, Master!" Wushuang and An Yi replied in unison.

When the others heard Nangong Li give the order, they were stunned at first, and then they all stood up. Those who had weapons gripped them tightly, and those who didn't grab some sticks and stones to hold in their hands.

Nangong Li and Li Liuyun also arrived. Li Liuyun spoke, pointing in the direction of the military camp: "A group of people are riding towards us at high speed. The prince and I heard the noise, but we don't know if they are friend or foe, so everyone must be on guard!"

Upon hearing his master's words, Wushuang addressed the guards and hidden soldiers, saying, "Brothers, we barely managed to escape the earth dragon's turn, we can't die in an enemy attack, or people will laugh their heads off!"

At this moment, Nangong Li spoke up: "Everyone should be on guard, but we're unsure whether the other side is friend or foe. We can only prepare for the worst. If they are truly enemies, then we should fight if we must and kill if we must!"

If the other side is friendly, not hostile, then we'll have more help, making the journey much easier for everyone. After all, they have horses, so we won't have to walk to the camp!

Li Liuyun nodded in agreement after hearing Nangong Li's words: "Everyone, stay put and conserve your energy, be ready for battle at any time."

Let's first determine whether they are friend or foe. And if they are neither friend nor foe, and are insignificant, then we'll wait for them to leave before continuing our journey.

"Yes, Your Highness! We understand."

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, we have just eaten and drunk our fill, and we are full of energy."

"If they dare to mess with us, we will make sure they never come back."

Wushuang glanced at Yin San on the stretcher and ordered two guards to carry Yin San to a secluded place and hide him. If the other party was an enemy, they wouldn't be distracted by the fight and would have to take care of Yin San.

Li Liuyun glanced at Wushuang, nudged Nangong Li with his elbow, and asked Nangong Li with a smile, "Wushuang is indeed clever, efficient, and her martial arts are quite good. She's also taught Ah Jin very well. Do you regret giving Wushuang to me?"

Nangong Li shook his head: "I've never regretted it. My people are your people. Besides, even if you marry into the Pingnan Prince's Mansion in the future, he'll still have to go back to the Pingnan Prince's Mansion. What's the difference between acknowledging you as his master and acknowledging me as his master?"

Li Liuyun smiled and nodded: "That seems to make sense. Hey, Nangong Li, when you gave Wushuang to me, were you already eyeing me?"

Nangong Li shook his head: "Back then, I sent Wushuang to protect you because you are Mo Yunyi's daughter. But I didn't expect Wushuang to take the initiative to acknowledge you as her master. However, this kid probably didn't expect that you would become my queen."

Even if I were to make him acknowledge you as his master, he would ultimately have to return to the Pingnan Prince's residence. To be precise, he would only be considered a betrothal gift from me to you. When we get married, he would accompany you into the Pingnan Prince's residence, and his status would simply change from betrothal gift to dowry.
