After I captured the wrong male lead, I broke off the engagement and married the villain

Nangong Jin was thinking wildly and felt very disappointed with his friend.

If I had known this would happen, I should have taken her back to Beijing directly. What should I do now?

She was running around outside and was deceived by Xiao Heyun.

Nangong Jin felt like tears were about to fall when he thought about it.

"If my parents knew about this, they would definitely cut off my legs."

The Nangong family is well-known for loving their daughter. From childhood to adulthood, Nangong Yuan has had whatever she wanted. She was educated the same as her brother and was never treated differently.

Of course, her family also hopes that she can find a good husband.

However, now that Nangong Yuan likes Xiao Heyun, she really needs to consider this matter carefully.

Xiao Heyun couldn't stand up and had a lame leg, which was enough for his family to drive him away.

Coupled with the royal struggle, these two things were almost a death sentence.

"Could it be that A Yuan's love life is so bumpy? How can this be possible?"

They are the center of attention, and as children who grew up in such a pampered way, they have never encountered any difficult problems.

How can a man suffer for a relationship nowadays?

Xiao Heyun didn't know that Nangong Jin had already given him a very low score in his heart, and was secretly trying to persuade Nangong Yuan to give up on him.

If he knew, he would probably be very unwilling.

"Your Highness the Night King, General Nangong, please."

At this moment, the eunuch came to report.

So the two of them went to Minghuatang.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be well and at peace."

"Your Highness has greeted me, Father. May you be well and safe."

Xiao Heyun had difficulty walking, so he was stopped when he was about to kneel down.

"Sit up, no need to be polite."

The emperor seemed to be in a good mood today, perhaps because he was satisfied with the reports submitted by the officials.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Thank you, Father."

Xiao Heyun sat down, his expression still calm.

"Nangong, tell me about the situation in the southwest first."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Jin immediately stood up, saluted, and began to report on his work.

There are not many major problems in the southwest these days, except for some minor frictions on the border from time to time, which can be handled.

Apart from the time when he sent troops to Hongzhou to suppress bandits, Nangong Jin spent most of his time in the southwest garrison.

He has many generals under his command, and now he is also the first commander of the southwest garrison in the army.

"Okay, I'll leave the Southwest to you. I'm very confident. As for the group of scoundrels in Xisha, I'm sure your father will take care of them."

Nangong Jin cupped his hands and said, "It is my humble servant's duty to share the worries of Your Majesty and the people of the world. This is my sincere wish."

"Not bad, not bad. You are so promising at such a young age. It seems that Dajing will have another great general in the future."

The emperor praised him a few words and gave him some gifts.

"Ah, when I look at you, I think of your sister. She was instrumental in saving the emperor, and I am very pleased."

Nangong Jin's expression suddenly changed. "What? There is such a thing? Who is so bold as to dare to assassinate His Majesty?"

"It's a long story. It was an assassin from a foreign race."

Hearing this, Nangong Jin said, "I see. Fortunately, Your Majesty is safe. Otherwise, how can the people of the world be safe?"

"It's all in the past. Your sister is just like you. She is loyal to the emperor and the country. I admire her very much."

Nangong Jin bowed and said, "Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. My family has been serving as generals for generations and it is our duty to protect Your Majesty. How dare I take credit for it?"

"That's what you say, but many people can't do it. Let your sister come to the palace banquet this year."

Nangong Jin nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty, rest assured, I will definitely bring it to you."

···········

King Li standing aside had an unpredictable look on his face and looked somewhat dangerous.

He is almost thirty years old, and only now does a trace of calmness appear on his face.

Over the past thirty years, he has lived a very smooth and worry-free life.

As the Queen's legitimate son, he has the support of his grandfather's family, and His Majesty has high hopes for him. Everyone thinks he might be the next Crown Prince.

But... he was too anxious and wanted everything, so he ended up with nothing.

His Majesty's attitude towards him has changed in recent days. I wonder if he has regained confidence in him.

But...this doesn't change anything.

King Li's forces suffered heavy losses, and it would take time for them to recover.

“Heh, the old man is still so indecisive. They are just a Nangong family. If you don’t know, you would think they are the old man’s children.”

King Li looked a little impatient as he listened to his repeated praises.

"Father, General Nangong has just returned from the border. Now that his report is over, let him rest for a while."

Nangong Jin's expression changed slightly: "It's alright, Your Highness Prince Li, I'm not tired."

"King Li is right. You are my great general, so you must conserve your energy. Please take a seat first."

After he finished, he asked Xiao Heyun who was beside him.

"What about Night King? How was the matter in Qingzhou resolved?"

Xiao Heyun then spoke: "Everything has been done according to the rules. As for the group of wealthy businessmen, those who violated the rules were all strictly investigated and imprisoned. The account books and various government affairs have been sent to the capital."

"I heard before that group of Westerners wanted to blow up Yong'an Lane?"

Xiao Heyun said: "Yes, they were so bold that they colluded with merchants to shake the foundation of Qingzhou. They have all been executed on the spot."

"Humph, how arrogant! Yong'an Lane is the lane that our ancestors spent thirty years to complete. How dare they be so bold?"

Even though it's been so long, I still get scared when I think about it.

If Nangong Yuan hadn't found any clues, Yong'an Lane would probably have been blown up.

By then... he, Xiao Heyun, will be a sinner for all eternity.

Not to mention returning to Kyoto, even if he were to stay alive, he would be cursed to death.

Fortunately, everything has been salvaged.

"Father, don't be too angry. These Westerners are now looking for business, and I have already taught them a lesson."

"Of course we can't let them go. Do you really think that I, Dajing, am a soft persimmon that they can bully at will?"

Nangong Jin, who was standing by, didn't know about this, but was surprised to hear how serious it was.

"This situation doesn't sound very good."

He raised his eyebrows slightly, looking a little strange.

"Rich merchants from all over the country have prepared gifts for our father. Here is the list."

When Xiao Heyun handed the thing over, the emperor smiled happily.

The wealthy businessmen in Qingzhou have plenty of money, and Xiao Heyun has been preparing for his return for a long time.

The money given this time is given directly to the emperor. How can he not be happy?

"Haha, they are smart. They must put the country first when doing business. Otherwise, there is no point in doing it."

The emperor couldn't stop smiling when he looked at the list.

Although he was the emperor, the treasury was always in crisis and he had to live frugally.

With so much money, he would have enough money to do whatever he wanted in the future, so he was even more kind to his son.

Looking at the emperor's angry expression, Prince Li sneered.
