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

The day we arrived in Kyoto was a nice day with a gentle breeze.

Kyoto is different from the Saisha Islands. The weather was sunny and quite hot after that.

But even so, there was no way to stop people from wanting to watch the fun.

The palace sent King Li and King Ye to welcome Earl Ding'an, so there was a grand ceremony.

Nangong Yuan rode his horse into the city gate and saw the guard of honor not far away.

"Mr. Ding'an, Mr. Ding'an is mighty!"

Someone was shouting on the side of the road, looking excited.

When Nangong Yuan rode over, he was wearing light armor and a red cloak, looking heroic.

Some people also threw sachets and handkerchiefs on the roadside. Nangong Yuan was filled with them and could only accept them with a smile.

Little girls are always so cute, and she can't bear to make them sad.

"I pay my respects to the two princes. May your majesty be well and at peace."

Nangong Yuan dismounted from his horse and saluted them.

"There's no need to be so polite, Lord Ding'an. Get up quickly."

Xiao Heyun sat in a wheelchair and looked at her. It had been almost half a year since they last met, and she seemed to have changed subtly.

His skin color became slightly darker, and the brightness between his eyebrows was replaced by a sharp and slightly dangerous smile. He was thinner but looked in good spirits.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Nangong Yuan stood up and said, "In the carriage at the back is the Xisha envoy, also the Xisha prince Ding Ran."

Not long after, Ding Ran got out of the car to greet him.

He was a very handsome middle-aged man and extremely charming.

When he came over, he had a smile on his face and bowed slightly, saying, "I guess this is His Royal Highness the Night King?"

"That's right. I hope An and Wang are doing well."

Xiao Heyun's expression remained unchanged. Although he was sitting, his aura was still terrifying.

The two had fought before, but that was on the battlefield in the northern border.

At that time, Xisha had not yet found a way to cross Changheng Mountain, so all previous attacks on Jingguo had passed through the northern battlefield.

At that time, Xiao Heyun was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he had fought with him.

But now it seems that the situation is changing quite quickly.

"Haha, yes, yes, after not seeing you for so many years, it seems like your old friend is different now. Your legs..."

"It's just a small problem, no problem." Xiao Heyun didn't care and looked calm.

For him, the humiliation of having his leg injury mentioned repeatedly is a thing of the past.

How could a normal person get angry because someone deliberately brought up this matter?

"Okay everyone, let's stop talking nonsense. His Majesty is still waiting for us in Minghua Palace."

King Li, who was standing nearby, spoke, and the others had no choice but to nod.

"Your Highness Prince Li is right. Let's go into the palace then."

Nangong Yuan looked at him with an extremely cold expression, but the smile on her lips remained, which looked extremely strange.

She climbed onto the horse, and everyone returned to the palace.

People lined the streets along the way, all wanting to see Nangong Yuan's grace.

"I didn't expect that Ding Anbo is so young and beautiful. And there are rumors that she is a Rakshasa. Who is so blind to spread such rumors?"

"Who knows? But anyway, Ding'an Bo has won the battle and is a hero of Dajing."

"Yes, from now on, Dajing will have one more commander, that's good."

The common people are not actually sensitive to the replacement of officials above them, but they always pay special attention to things like war.

In addition, Nangong Yuan herself is surrounded by rumors, so now everyone in Dajing knows her.

···········

Xiao Heyun got on the sedan chair, but from time to time he lifted the curtain to look outside.

I just took a quick glance at her and didn't take a good look at her.

But Nangong Yuan was following behind on horseback, so he couldn't see him at this time.

From time to time, people threw sachets on the roadside, and Nangong Yuan grabbed them one by one and hung them on the back of his horse.

The tall black horse is hung with various brocade bags, which looks quite funny.

"Don't be angry, these sachets are a token of my love."

The horse sneezed due to the smoke and shook its head impatiently, but was calmed down by her.

Nangong Yuan held the sachet farther away so that it wouldn't get angry if it smelled it.

Soon, the group arrived at the palace.

Nangong Yuan put down his sword and dismounted, then followed the princes into the palace.

"Mr. Ding'an is here!"

There were not many people in Minghua Palace. It seemed that the emperor was waiting for him.

Nangong Yuan stepped forward and saluted: "I pay my respects to Your Majesty. May Your Majesty be well and safe."

"Hurry up, hurry up. You are a hero of our Dajing. This great victory has enhanced the prestige of our country. You are really amazing."

The emperor came over personally to help her up, and Nangong Yuan stood up smoothly, but she also spoke very beautifully.

"Your Majesty, this is all my duty. Before I left, I vowed to make Xisha suffer the consequences of his actions. Otherwise, how can I be worthy of your Majesty's kindness?"

The emperor was able to go against everyone's opinion and let her go to Hongzhou. Just for this one thing, Nangong Yuan wanted to thank him.

Otherwise... let alone regaining dignity for my father or taking revenge, that is impossible.

"It's also your own fault. Fighting on the battlefield is all about real fighting. Otherwise, how could you succeed?"

Nangong Yuan smiled and said, "I am only glad that I have never failed your majesty's high expectations and successfully protected Hongzhou."

The two talked for a while before the emperor asked her to sit down.

"Now the Paracel Islands want to make peace. What do you think?"

Nangong Yuan said, "I have no objection. Xisha has repeatedly invaded Hongzhou, and it is our duty to send troops to intercept them. Now they have also tasted the bitterness, so they naturally want to make peace. However, our reputation is now in decline, and if we continue to fight, it will be suspected of being warlike. Therefore, I will push the front line beyond Anshan, hoping to gain an advantage in this peace talk."

Every word she said hit the emperor's heart very accurately.

Originally, the emperor was now facing not only victory, but also a large number of loopholes.

The national treasury is empty, and we don’t have the capacity to fight again.

If taxes are increased, the people will definitely be dissatisfied, and then even if we win, we will still lose.

So...it is understandable that he wanted to take this opportunity to blackmail the Xisha Islands.

Nangong Yuan was not unable to understand. If they wanted to talk, then they should talk. Shouldn't the dignity he had won on the battlefield give him a chance to be arrogant and wanton?

"As expected, Earl Ding'an understands my thoughts. This is very good."

Nangong Yuan said: "We have the upper hand on the battlefield now. Your Majesty can teach them a lesson."

Hongzhou has been troubled over the years. If she hadn't gotten the chance, it might have been Dajing that surrendered.

Of course the emperor was dissatisfied, but there was nothing he could do.

What happens on the battlefield cannot be generalized to anything else.

"Yes, if that's the case, then I have some ideas. By the way, where is their envoy?"

"Your Majesty, I am waiting outside the palace."

"Oh, by the way, Anding, how is the training ground you built in Anshan?"

Nangong Yuan said: "It's almost done. I'll have people stationed there. This way, Xisha won't dare to cause trouble."
