Chapter 887: Chapter 887: To Dajin (2)

Tuoba Lie pulled back the curtain again and half of his face peered in, "Woman, you’re playing with fire, do you know what ’playing hard to get’ is? You’re trying to seduce me to my death. If I can’t hold back, I might just take you right here on the road!"

Lady Nan Feng pulled back the curtain again, "Ruffian!"

Tuoba Lie wasn’t angry but instead laughed, and then spurred his horse to continue forward.

The road to Capital City passed through Shangzhi City.

As it was an and-marriage mission and they were no longer enemies, according to the orders from above, every city they passed through had to treat the marriage delegation well.

When they arrived at Shangzhi City it was already dark, and the person responsible for receiving them was Song Cheng. Nan Feng lifted the curtain for a glance and saw a very dark-skinned person standing at the posthouse. As it was also dark, his face was dark too, so she couldn’t make out what Song Cheng’s face looked like and just thought it was somewhat amusing.

Then she closed the curtain again.

Later, someone came to notify her that if she was tired, she could go back to her room first and the food would be brought to her. Lady Nan Feng got out of the cart with her maid’s assistance. As she passed by Song Cheng, who was still speaking with Tuoba Lie and not looking at Nan Feng, she didn’t know the local customs so she didn’t greet him, and went straight into the posthouse.

After finishing speaking with Tuoba Lie, Song Cheng turned around and saw a familiar slender figure not far away, but she was dressed in Dashun attire. He didn’t think much of it and continued to welcome Tuoba Lie and the Princess.

Because they were concerned about not missing the auspicious time, they only rested in Shangzhi City for one night and set off early the next day.

That day, as they passed through the city, Nan Feng in her cart could also hear the local people discussing loudly outside:

"Oh, are these the barbarians?"

"Indeed, our city has been left in such a mess because of them. Yet, they have the nerve to come seeking a marriage alliance. If it weren’t for the orders from above to treat these barbarians well, I’d feel like throwing rotten eggs at them right now."

"That’s right. These people take war as child’s play. They killed so many of our people before, nearly decimated our city. Now, all of a sudden, since they can’t beat our General Nangong, they want to form a marriage alliance. Shameless!"

When Nan Feng heard the words "General Nangong," her heart gave a sharp jolt as if something had slammed hard against her chest.

Seeing Nan Feng’s complexion wasn’t good, the maid couldn’t help but ask, "Lady, what’s wrong?"

Nan Feng shook her head, "It’s nothing."

The maid then said, "Actually, I also understood what those people outside were saying, but you really shouldn’t feel pressured, Lady. War is just like that, and I’ve heard people from the plains say that the war started because Dajin instigated it. It’s just that later, our Second Prince was more formidable, chased them back, and even took several of their cities. If we didn’t have capable people on our side, we might all be people of Dajin by now, and we on the plains would have to serve as slaves to Dajin. Lady, isn’t that so?"

Lady Nan Feng smiled faintly, "While that may be true... But anyway, that General Nangong, do you know of him?"

Lady Nan Feng didn’t know why, but the mention of "General Nangong" stirred an inexplicable emotion in her heart.

The maid said, "General Nangong is just a fairly capable general of Dajin. His skills are about on par with our Second Prince. It’s said that the two have crossed swords under the city walls, evenly matched. But in my opinion, our Second Prince is much more formidable than General Nangong. Lady Nan Feng, you are now one of us, people of Dashun, you can’t side with the outsiders."
