Both sides became enemies and fought a civil war, so now they both have their own opinions.
Han Yunxi knew that Ning An would say the same thing as Long Fei Ye, but she never would have thought that it would be different to this degree.
Ning An said that in the past, there was a serious disagreement between Eastern and Western Qin. This was the reason why Western Qin decided to go to war.
"Your highness, there was a large dam in the middle of the Sand River that stopped the flood, protecting a large province downstream, as well as countless villages and fields. That year, there was a storm and a mountain flood upstream. The flood passed through the middle of the Sand River, submerging many villages and threatening an iron mine. That iron mine belonged to the East Qin Crown Prince. In order to protect the iron mine, East Qin decided to destroy the dam and divert the water downstream, sacrificing the people downstream. At that time, the East Qin Emperor died of illness and the princes were fighting for the throne. The Crown Prince was in a rush to build weapons, so he sent the army to destroy the dam. Western Qin had no choice but to send out troops to protect the dam. East Qin thought that our army was trying to steal the mine and sent out troops, using the Black Race army to destroy our Western Qin. If it wasn't for the Nether Race's betrayal, the princess might not have ….. "
Although Ning An's voice was calm, her eyes betrayed her heart.
Han Yunxi could see her anger and unwillingness. This anger and unwillingness was very similar to when Long Fei Ye told her this part of the history. It was very real and couldn't be faked.
It was natural for them to have their own opinions, but if they didn't have the same opinion, then it would be abnormal.
Long Fei Ye had told her about the serious floods in the south, but why didn't he tell her about the dam or the mine?
According to East Qin, the war was a plot by Western Qin. Western Qin instigated internal strife in East Qin and took advantage of the situation.
According to Western Qin, the war was caused by the destruction of the dam.
What was the truth?
Han Yunxi hesitated a bit before probing, "I remember that Gu Beiyue told me that during the war, there were rumours in the disaster area that the East Qin Crown Prince was a star of disaster? Is there such a thing? "
Han Yunxi silently apologized to Gu Beiyue in her heart. If she said that it was Long Fei Ye who said it, Ning An would probably be angry. She could only use Gu Beiyue's name to speak properly!
Ning An gave a cold laugh, "This was a lie made up by the East Qin princes to seize the throne. Now it seems that the East Qin Prince is a disaster! If he did not protect the iron mine, Western Qin would not have rashly sent troops. "
Han Yunxi nodded thoughtfully. She suddenly had a terrifying thought. Was there a misunderstanding in the past?
However, she quickly denied her own thoughts.
How could she believe Long Fei Ye's explanation?
Long Fei Ye already knew that she was the princess of Western Qin. How could he tell her the truth of the war? On the other hand, Ning An had no reason to lie to her.
Han Yunxi sat for a while before leaving. She had to finish writing the letter before Long Zun was sent away. She had already thought of how to write the letter. She could not bear to do anything to a pitiful child like Long Zun, so she could only wrong the others.
Not long after Han Yunxi left, Ning Cheng came over. Knowing that Han Yunxi had just left, he turned around to leave, but Ning An called out to him.
"You just came and you're already leaving? So you didn't come to see me. "Ning An lightly asked.
Who would have thought that Ning Cheng would actually give a Un sound and continue to leave. Ning An reached out to stop him, "Family head, you should know your status!"
Before, Ning An followed the rules of the palace and called Ning Cheng King Ning. But now, she called him family head. This meant that Ning An was reminding Ning Cheng of his status, his responsibilities, and what he could and could not do.
"Move aside."
Ning Cheng's voice was completely emotionless. It was extremely cold, like an iceberg that kept people a thousand li away. One would never be able to see his heart.
Only in front of Han Yunxi would he be happy, angry, and anxious.
Everyone sighed with emotion at the sight of the lofty Ning Cheng having to put down his airs in front of the princess. But Ning An knew that Ning Cheng wasn't submitting or being respectful, but being confused and lost.
Perhaps that was why Han Yunxi wasn't like Chu Qingge, who felt that Ning Cheng was similar to Long Fei Ye.
His joy at finding his master should have died down long ago. He should be back to his usual prudent, steady, and calm self.
Everything in the Di Clan was still under his control and had to be controlled by him. The princess of Western Qin was only a symbol of faith. She couldn't control anything, so the last thing he should lose was his sense of control over himself.
Ning An had seen all of Ning Cheng's actions since their return. Her heart was full of worries, so she had to remind him.
Ning Cheng's Ice Face was expressionless. After a while, he asked coldly, "Is there anything else?
Ning An told him about Long Zun, and he agreed with Han Yunxi's words. In a low voice, he said, "Arrange for two spies. Ning Jing hasn't sent word for days. I need information from her side."
"Understood," Ning An had the same idea. "Jing 'er, she … won't be in trouble, right?"
"She's still arguing with Tang Li about my departure, so nothing's going to happen." Ning Cheng trusted Ning Jing more than Ning An or Ning Nuo. "Urge Ning Nuo on the matter of the army rations. Don't drop the ball at a critical moment!"
Although South Ning's commander-in-chief's estate controlled most of Cloud Realm Continent's grain production areas, Cloud Realm Trade Consortium wasn't easy to deal with. They could still buy grain from them.
In this world, there were plenty of people who went against their conscience to make money from war.
Moreover, Cloud Realm Trade Consortium's secret of being a descendant of the Di Clan had already been exposed. There were even more grain merchants willing to work with them.
Ning Jing mused that the Tang Clan was a hidden power that never got involved in worldly conflicts, much less a huge one between two imperial clans. If the Tang Clan elders knew about Ning Jing's status as a Di Clan member, it'd be even harder for them to agree to work with the arms trade.
If she couldn't complete her mission within a year, Ning Cheng wouldn't give her a chance to return to Cloud Realm Trade Consortium.
Ning Cheng and Ning An had no idea that the youngest daughter of the Ning Clan, the shrewdest head of Cloud Realm Trade Consortium, was currently suffering torment.
Tang Li had said he'd give her one night, but he'd actually given her two days and two nights. Over the past two days, he'd given her nothing but water.
Ning Jing was hanging from the ceiling and couldn't even sit down. Fortunately, she could reach a table and sit on it for the past two days.
If not for that, she wouldn't have lasted half a day.
She didn't make a fuss, but was incomparably calm. When she was serious, she looked like a fierce woman who wasn't cute at all.
She didn't know what Tang Li had been doing over the past two days, but he'd actually forgotten about her.
Trapped here, she had no idea what was going on outside. Could it be that Ning Cheng's whereabouts had been exposed? Long Fei Ye and Tang Li were both chasing after Ning Cheng, so they'd forgotten about her here?
Thinking up to here, Ning Jing couldn't help but knit her brows in anxiety. But she quickly recovered her composure. There were many things she couldn't control, so she might as well let them happen.
Right now, she could only control herself and let herself die peacefully here. It was good that Tang Li had left her here.
She had no idea that Long Fei Ye had left long ago. Over the past two days, Tang Li had been tasked with searching and arresting people in Medical City. Tang Li hadn't gone anywhere, but sat by the door in a daze.
For the past two days and two nights, she had drunk water, but he hadn't drunk a single drop.
His haggard and sorrowful appearance made him no longer look like a banished immortal. Instead, he looked like an infatuated person who was about to turn into ashes.
Suddenly, Tang Li stood up and angrily pushed the door open.
Ning Jing was startled, but she didn't show it. It wasn't until she saw the most familiar figure at the door that her heart began to beat faster.
"Hehe, I've been busy for two days and didn't have time to take care of you. You're lucky!" Tang Li didn't approach her, but stood at the door, "Shouldn't you give me an answer?"
Ning Jing just looked at him without saying anything.
This forced Tang Li to draw closer until he was right in front of her. "Answer me!"
"Kill me or cut me up, do whatever you want!" Ning Jing said Coldly.
"Guards!"
Tang Li didn't hesitate anymore, and the guards immediately rushed in. Tang Li personally took the iron chain hanging from the roof beam and handed it to the guards, "Drop it at the South City Gate. Don't let her torture you slowly."
Ning Jing didn't react at all, and just walked to the door with the guards.
"Jing Jing, you don't have to be afraid. Your good brother will definitely come and save you." Tang Li sneered. Only God knew if he was comforting himself or testing Ning Jing.
Finally, Ning Jing stopped. "Tang Li, if you spare me, I'll tell you another piece of news. How about it?"
"What news?" Tang Li asked almost without thinking, and at the same time, he waved the guards away.
"A piece of news that's very beneficial to the Tang Sect. It's not inferior to Han Yunxi's whereabouts." Ning Jing was like a businessman negotiating with a professional smile.
"Spare you? To what extent? "Tang Li asked in return. He definitely wouldn't let Ning Jing go.
"Give me a good death." Ning Jing was very direct.
In an instant, Tang Li's eyes were like the sky before a storm, so gloomy that it was frightening.
Unfortunately, Ning Jing was standing at the door and didn't see it. Just like when Tang Li was standing at the door and didn't see her in the room, he had a pleasantly surprised expression.
"Okay, tell me." Tang Li still agreed.
"Ning Cheng still doesn't know about your relationship with Long Fei Ye. I'm the only one who knows about this," Ning Jing said seriously.
Tang Li was shocked, but he soon questioned, "Who are you trying to fool?!"
"I led you to the Apricot Forest just to test you. Sure enough, you took Long Fei Ye there." At this moment, Ning Jing was as calm as her name suggested.
She had always been suspicious. Since Tang Li helped Han Yunxi at the Apricot Forest Conference, she had been suspicious. The cold war later was just a pretense. Even though she had seen Ning Cheng several times, she never told Ning Cheng about these abnormalities.
She needed to give herself a definite answer. Therefore, after Ning Cheng left, she deliberately lured Tang Li to the Apricot Forest. She hoped so much that it was only Tang Li who followed her. Unfortunately, it was Long Fei Ye who showed up.
Without a doubt, Tang Li was the one who took Long Fei Ye there.
"You tested me … Ning Cheng doesn't know about my relationship with Long Fei Ye …" Tang Li muttered to himself. Suddenly, he understood. "That's why Ning Cheng left Medical City long ago! He doesn't know that you led us to the Apricot Forest! "
If Ning Cheng was still in the medical academy, he would definitely be secretly keeping an eye on Ning Jing's movements. Ning Jing didn't have a chance to tell Ning Cheng about his relationship with Long Fei Ye.
Ning Jing smiled. She never thought that Tang Li was so smart. "Tang Li, I've told you two secrets. Just kill me with a knife."
Tang Li gave a start, but quickly rushed out the door. "Xu Donglin! Xu Donglin, remove all defenses and tell your master that Han Yunxi is in Tianning! "
After rushing out, Tang Li didn't return to the room. He ordered people to untie Ning Jing and put her under house arrest. He wouldn't kill her, but he wouldn't see her either.
Long Fei Ye received Tang Li's news and was preparing to deploy a rescue plan when he received Baili Yuanlong's secret missive mentioning Gu Beiyue …
