Jiang Xuening was extremely busy, and Gu Tangli, who was in better health, was not idle either and began to contact people through secret lines.

That day, Gu Tangli hurried to the study, pushed the door open and walked in, "Sister!"

Jiang Xuening put down the book in her hand, "What's wrong?"

"The eldest princess is here, in Baihua Valley!"

This was good news, Jiang Xuening immediately took people to Baihua Valley.

On the way, she asked something about the eldest princess, "Do you think she is someone you can cooperate with?"

"Although she is a woman, she is unparalleled in resourcefulness." Gu Tangli couldn't hide her admiration in her tone. "She came to me because she wanted to use me to establish a connection with her sister."

Gu Hanzhou dominated the government and the public in Mobei and supported his own troops, which has always been a major concern for the royal family. In recent years, he has become even more sharp, covering the sky with one hand.

The eldest princess was his childhood sweetheart. In order to appease him, she knelt down in front of the imperial study room and asked the emperor to grant a marriage for the two of them.

Maybe the time is not ripe, maybe it just doesn't make sense. After the marriage was granted, Gu Hanzhou felt more at ease. He was not aggressive towards the emperor, but he was still trying to get his hands on power.

If this time, let him go back from Xiangchu alive. He will inevitably seize the throne, so he must die in Xiangchu.

The goals of both sides can be considered the same.

It was morning when we arrived at Baihua Valley, and we ran at full speed for almost a day and a night.

Jiang Xuening looked at her snow-white face and said worriedly, "Can you still hold on?"

"I am okay."

Probably expecting them to come, the maid from Baihua Valley came to greet them as soon as they arrived, "Your Majesty, please come with me."

At this time of the year, the Baihua Valley is a bit more quiet and has a bit of a fairyland feel compared to the bustle of the Baihua Festival.

She asked curiously, "Choose to meet here. Are the eldest princess and the Valley Master familiar with each other?"

"The eldest princess seems to have come to the Hundred Flowers Festival, and she does have some friendship with the Valley Master." Gu Tangli said softly, "So the hidden connection between them also relies on the help of the Baihua Valley."

Baihua Valley is close to Xiangchu and has always been on good terms with them. After many years of business operation, I still have some contacts.

On the contrary, Mobei is actually not close to Xiangchu, and it is not even a neighboring country.

They were taken to Baihua Tower, where the owner of the valley, Bai Huaying, smiled and said, "My lord, we meet again."

"The Valley Master really has a lot of friends, which is unexpected."

She walked in and saw a woman sitting by the window. She was dressed in purple and had a beautiful appearance and sharp features.

Gu Tangli went up first to say hello, "Eldest Princess."

She stood up and looked at Jiang Xuening, with a flash of admiration in her eyes, "I am the eldest princess of Mobei, Mu Linlang."

"Jiang Ningxue, King of Xiangchu."

The two sat down, and Baihuaying asked someone to serve tea, "You guys chat, I'll ask someone to prepare food."

After she finished speaking, she led her servants away, leaving space for the two of them.

Mu Linlang asked, "I heard that Mu Furong died. What is the situation now?"

Jiang Xuening briefly explained the current situation. Then he asked, "I wonder what the princess plans to do when she comes here in person."

She said firmly, "My people have been keeping an eye on the movements of Gu Hanzhou's army. So as soon as the army came to Xiangchu, I led my troops to follow."

"Where is the army now?"

"It should arrive in Xiangchu in about seven days."

She rushed here first, always trying to figure out a countermeasure before the army pressed on.

Jiang Xuening frowned slightly, "How many soldiers have come?"

"There are 2.67 million troops in the first batch." Mu Linlang's expression was not very good, "The imperial court allows me to take away only more than 100,000."

It was already the result of patchwork efforts. There was no chance of winning against Gu Hanzhou's nearly 300,000 troops, so they had to join forces with Xiangchu.

She calculated the accounts calmly, "Xiangchu's main force is currently fighting in the northwest, and the territory can only deploy more than 100,000 troops at most."

If Mu Furong and him hadn't been discovered in time, Xiangchu would have been in real danger this time.

Mu Linlang said, "Together, the two sides are at most a tie with him. His army is elite and has always been victorious in Mobei. Its record is very proud."

There was nothing she could do about the disparity in military strength. They can only rely on them to find ways to make up for it.

"It's okay. The Xiangchu city gate is not that easy to break." Jiang Xue calculated the time and said, "As long as we can hold on for more than half a month, we will soon be able to wait for reinforcements."

Moreover, the difference in military strength is not particularly large. Xiangchu also has a home field advantage. No one knows this land better than the people of Xiangchu.

With careful planning, a comeback is possible.

She said softly, "Since he is so ambitious and has come all the way here, it is natural to make sure that he never returns."

The two chatted about business for a while, and Mu Linlang took the initiative and said, "I have something I want to say to Tangli."

Jiang Xuening went out to find Baihuaying, leaving space for them.

Mu Linlang looked at her belly and said with a complicated expression, "Didn't the child survive?"

"The child paid for my life. It is his blessing not to come to this world. I hope he will be reborn into a good family." Gu Tangli said calmly.

She smiled bitterly, "I thought he was special to you and had some feelings for you."

Unexpectedly, in the end, he still showed no mercy at all and did not take into account the child in his belly.

Gu Tangli asked curiously, "Is the princess sad or regretful?"

In fact, they were real childhood sweethearts. When they were young, the conflict between Gu Hanzhou and the royal family was not so obvious.

One is a princess and the other is the son of a general. Both of them studied at the Royal Academy, so they naturally became close.

Gu Hanzhou was several years older than her. Although he was not afraid of her noble status, he also took good care of her.

We have grown up together since we were young and have a certain affection for each other. Moreover, Gu Hanzhou was considered to be extremely talented, handsome and unparalleled in style.

Mu Linlang showed a bit of desolation and said, "Those emotions and heartbeats have been completely exhausted after his constant pursuit of his father and the death of his brother, the prince."

The King of Mobei and the Queen had a deep love for each other, and they only had one pair of legitimate children, both of whom were excellent. The prince has the appearance of a wise king and is very popular.

But three years ago, he died on the battlefield of a small foreign country. After the death of the prince, the king and queen of Mobei became much older. There is only one princess left in the orthodox direct line, and the royal family becomes increasingly weak.

And Gu Hanzhou became more and more powerful and aimed directly at the throne. Even if he didn't rebel, Mu Linlang married him, and in the end it was just a wedding dress for him. It was only a matter of time before Mobei fell into his hands.

Mu Linlang said bitterly, "My brother died so tragically that he couldn't even close his eyes until he was buried. He will die with his eyes open!"

From then on, she studied martial arts more seriously, led troops to fight, and almost spent time in the military camp.

Her country and her home will be protected by her! The prince’s unfulfilled long-cherished wish will be fulfilled by her!

From the moment the prince died, the object of her childhood love became her biggest enemy.

In front of the family and the country, love, hate, and hatred are just floating clouds!
