Chapter 1013: Chapter 813: Tuoba Lie Has a New Idea

"Departure in the afternoon, Jianxi..." Long San hesitated.

"What?" Lu Jianxi asked.

"Are we parting ways without even a hug?" Long San joked.

But Lu Jianxi stepped back, still maintaining her usual composure, "I’m not very... fond of overly sentimental farewells."

"Well, never mind then," Long San smiled and turned back towards the military camp.

That afternoon, Long San indeed left the military camp, this time without saying goodbye to Song Cheng and Mrs. Song, and without bidding farewell to Nan Feng, maintaining his original demeanor. Accompanied by the butler, the imperial doctor, and the two hall masters he had brought with him, he set off.

...

Tuoba Lie had attacked again during this period, but it was only a minor invasion, purely provocative.

Nangong Ye over here had already started preparing a concentrated strike to severely weaken Dashun.

At Dashun, in front of Tuoba Lie’s tent, knelt a disheveled woman unrecognizable to anyone. She was trembling and seemed to stammer, probably out of fright.

"Your Highness, this woman was found at the foot of the mountain. We were about to kill her, but she claimed she knew the second... the second consort," the subordinate knew what he liked to hear.

"You know Nan Feng?" Tuoba Lie squinted, "Good, tell me where is she?"

"Your Highness, Nan Feng is in Shangzhi City, she... she’s busy farming every day, and something about face masks," Mrs. Yang said, "Now everyone calls her Mrs. Feng, and she is quite pregnant."

"Quite pregnant?" Tuoba Lie suddenly slapped the desk in front of him.

She was actually pregnant with Nangong Ye’s child!

Mrs. Yang was startled, then replied, "The belly isn’t very big, just moderately so, about four months along."

It took a while for Tuoba Lie to calm down, "You just mentioned, she is farming there? Tell me more."

He wanted to know what else she was doing.

Mrs. Yang detailed everything about Nan Feng, then explained why she was here, "They protect her very well. I merely shouted a few words, and they pushed me down the mountain. Though the cliff was high, there were plenty of pine trees below. It’s not deadly; otherwise, Nan Feng would have certainly died when she fell from such a high place last time."

"Tell me more about Shangzhi City," Tuoba Lie said coldly.

"Shangzhi City is now nearly a deserted city, left with only the weak, women, and children; hardly anyone is capable of working. Some left because of the war, but sometimes others return, back and forth like that."

"Back and forth?" Tuoba Lie suddenly grasped a crucial point.

"Yes, back and forth, some return feeling that it’s not as good as the south, then leave again, and some who had escaped came back."

Tuoba Lie’s eyes suddenly fixated on the distance, a plan flickering through his mind.

...

Since Dashun’s last minor offense was crushed, there had been no more disturbances.

Eventually, this warfare that began over a woman, and years of war had already depleted both countries’ strength, continuing to battle on would benefit no one.

Because the major battle had not yet erupted, many civilians had started returning to Shangzhi City from outside.

As for Nan Feng’s work, she still inspected the farms and several workshops every day.
