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

There wasn't much going on in Hongzhou, so Nangong Yuan had some rare free time.

All she had to do every day was patrol the parade grounds, patrol the city walls, and then go back to check the military reports coming in from various places.

Things are very simple and it is a lot easier than before when I was busy as a top.

Therefore, Nangong Yuan tried various methods to find out the news from Kyoto.

"Master, rest assured. If there is any unusual movement over there, we will report back immediately."

Nangong Yuan said: "Don't miss anything, now is the critical moment."

She looked at the blue sky in the distance, looking a little dazed.

"General, don't be too anxious. We need to take things step by step. We have plenty of time."

Although Lin Yun comforted her, Nangong Yuan did not feel comforted.

After all, it is quite difficult to ask Lin Yun, a big man, to be meticulous.

"Master, rest assured. Our people in Kyoto are keeping a close watch. Unless it is a major event like a city-wide martial law, the news will definitely be passed back."

Hearing this, Nangong Yuan nodded.

"That's good, then I'll feel relieved."

Nangong Yuan waved her hand, stood up and washed her hands.

She returned to her mansion in Hongzhou City. It was beautifully built, but looked a little old.

Nangong Yuan walked up the stairs, followed by a group of generals.

"Father, I came here today to tell you that the war in Hongzhou has been settled, Dalu is dead, and I have avenged you."

"My Lord, may your soul rest in peace in heaven."

Everyone knelt on the steps and paid respect to the tablet in front of the table.

Nangong Yuan lit a stick of incense, and the generals behind him went forward in an orderly manner to pay their respects.

Some wanted to say a few more words, and then burst into tears while speaking.

Nangong Yuan stood by, looking at the tablet, her eyes slightly red.

"My Lord, after you left, we all thought that Hongzhou was doomed. Unexpectedly, the general appeared out of nowhere and turned the tide. Now you can rest in peace."

Nangong Yuan watched everyone burn incense before saying, "Let's go to the front hall and rest."

"General, don't be too sad. We all know that the Marquis will not blame you. You did a good job."

Hearing this, Nangong Yuan nodded.

Of course she knew that her father would not blame her, but... she still couldn't make herself look like she didn't care.

"Father, there is still one mastermind left. He is the one who started all of this and is the mortal enemy who destroyed my family."

Nangong Yuan knelt on the mat and closed her eyes slightly.

Her overly beautiful eyelashes were trembling, and crystal tears rolled down her cheeks like dewdrops on lotus leaves.

"I will not let him go, even if it means murdering the royal family."

Nangong Yuan took a deep breath and slightly opened her eyes: "Doesn't he want to destroy everything? Then I will make sure he never gets what he wants. Do you think he will go crazy?"

Prince Li had believed all his life that he would be the future emperor.

The queen instilled this idea in him when he was young.

Later... things gradually got out of control.

But his obsession is too deep, how could he let go?

What's more, if he didn't become the emperor, he would be attacked by everyone and would not even know when he would die because of what he had done.

"Don't worry, it will be soon. He won't be free for too long, and I won't allow him to be so free."

Her hatred grew uglier over time, the beast trapped in her heart was roaring, and she had to work hard to suppress it.

But... everything is about to end.

Wait until she kills King Li, wait, wait.

Nangong Yuan closed her eyes and her expression gradually calmed down.

······

Hongzhou was quiet for a while.

Nangong Yuan guessed that the Xisha people must be fighting fiercely and have no time to deal with them.

It was pretty much what she thought.

Because now, the fighting in the Paracel Islands is indeed very fierce.

After Ding Ran returned that day, he was already injured and was devastated by Dalu's death, so he was sick all the way.

However, the people sent by His Majesty Xisha had been chasing them, so that everyone had to hide here and there and had no time to stay, resulting in Ding Ran's injured leg being crippled.

Although he later sought medical treatment, his calf became necrotic and he became lame.

How could Ding Ran not take revenge for such a deep hatred?

So he took action immediately after he returned, and the Emperor of Paracel Islands was caught off guard.

After the struggle between the two sides, the Emperor of the Paracel Islands was defeated and had to retreat temporarily.

·······

The imperial court is now in chaos. Even if someone passes by accidentally, they will be shot by a hidden arrow.

Therefore, the Emperor of Xisha was extremely dissatisfied.

"Your Majesty, we still cannot confront him head-on at this time."

The emperor looked grim, but he still nodded: "Yes, Ding Ran's negotiation failed, we will use this as an opportunity to make a fuss this time."

"Your Majesty is right. This time we must give him a good beating."

But Ding Ran had been tortured many times by Nangong Yuan in Jingguo.

So now he doesn't care about the humiliation at all.

Not everyone can understand the madness that comes after losing everything.

Therefore, the Emperor of Xisha’s plan may fail this time.

At the court meeting, everyone attacked Ding Ran for the failed negotiations, but he didn't care at all.

Instead, he cursed that there was no one in the court. If he really had the ability, he should take people to kill Nangong Yuan. What's the point of showing off his power now?

Everyone was silent after hearing this.

"Negotiations? Is the failure at the border the sole responsibility of Dalu? If there is no disunity between the upper and lower levels, how could this happen? If you say so, then everyone here is guilty!"

Ding Ran debated with the scholars, but in the end, the other party was helpless.

So I had no choice but to take out the negotiation documents and start preparing things.

······

Nangong Yuan received the Xisha documents half a month later.

"They sent the silver and various things promised in the negotiations. General, do you want to count them?"

Nangong Yuan said: "Of course, nothing can be left behind, let's get someone to take care of it."

"Yes."

There were a lot of things this time, so it took some time even with the lightness.

Seeing this, Lin Yun said, "Ding Ran has suffered a heavy loss this time. I wonder what the Xisha royal family thinks?"

"Who cares about them? As long as we get the things, nothing else matters."

Nangong Yuan looked at the documents at hand and sneered, "It seems that they are fighting quite fiercely. I hope they can continue. Otherwise... it will be troublesome then."

"That's right, General. Should we make arrangements in advance?"

Nangong Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Just keep an eye on them. We'll see what happens when the time comes."

"Yes."

Lin Yun nodded and agreed.

While everyone was counting their things outside, Nangong Yuan got up and went back to rest.

She has been feeling inexplicably anxious lately. Although she doesn't know why, she just feels uneasy.

She couldn't concentrate on reading the documents, so she decided to take a nap first.
