I'm Ecstatic About Transmigrating Into a Novel As the Villainous Empress's Follower

285: Section 285Cao Yang’s gaze fell upon her waist.

A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

Within these two blades lay the momentum of the Eighteen Stops he had left behind, sufficient to slay an ordinary Martial Saint.

But—they were indispensable to one another!

Naturally, leaving them by Nangong Puye’s side was the best way to ensure her safety.

After all, she intended to kill those few people.

None of them were mediocre figures!

Upon hearing his explanation, the coldness in Nangong Puye’s eyes finally receded.

It was replaced by a hint of warmth.

The sachet at her waist was the only heirloom her mother had left her.

The four people she wanted to kill were also because of her mother.

As for this sachet, although she was reluctant to part with it, she was also reluctant to part with Cao Yang.

”Very well!”

After a moment of hesitation, Nangong Puye finally untied it and handed it to Cao Yang.

As her voice fell, she took one last look at Cao Yang.

Then, taking Jin She with her, she headed north!

The emotions hidden in her heart would be recounted to him in detail when she traveled to the Capital City of Great Zhou!

Watching their figures gradually vanish until they were completely out of sight, Cao Yang turned back and headed toward Anbei City.

Murong Jin She was a chess piece; only by placing her in Northern Mang would she be useful.

As for Nangong Puye, like Li Qingning, she had things she had to do.

It was impossible for Cao Yang to ask her to return to the Capital City of Great Zhou with him just like that, to contentedly be one of his concubines.

If she did that, she would no longer be Nangong Puye!

All he could do was help her as much as possible.

If she truly could not complete her task, he would then sweep away all her enemies for her...

Two days later, Cao Yang had settled all matters.

Just as when he arrived, he prepared to return to the capital.

Eight hundred Embroidered Uniform Guard, three thousand Imperial Guards, and a magnificent caravan arranged in a vast, winding line!

However—compared to the journey here, the caravan now included several stunning beauties.

Besides Qingniao, there were also Pei Nanzhi, Yu Youwei, Xu Hongyi, Xu Weixiong, and Jiang Li...

”I truly have foresight!”

Cao Yang smiled playfully.

In the dozen or so carriages, besides carrying these beauties, he had also loaded up many valuable items, Cultivation Techniques, and Secret Manuals from the prince’s estate, all to be taken back to the capital!

Xu Xiao had cultivated Northern Liang for many years.

One could only imagine how much treasure was in his estate!

With this haul, Cao Yang had instantly become extremely wealthy!

”Go notify the Northern Mang delegation that they may depart!”

Cao Yang looked at an Embroidered Uniform Guard and ordered.

”Yes!”

The Embroidered Uniform Guard bowed to accept the order and rode toward the Post Station in the city!

Before long, he brought the people from the Northern Mang delegation.

Leading them was a woman wearing a terrifying mask, holding a staff, and possessing stunningly long legs.

Previously, Northern Mang had been defeated.

Murong Xuanzhen had promised compensation conditions to Wu Mingyue to be allowed to retreat safely.

Now, they naturally dared not break their word.

This Northern Mang delegation was heading to the Capital City of Great Zhou to discuss the specific details of the compensation.

Ceding territory, paying indemnities, or marriage alliance?

When the Empress left, she casually mentioned this matter to Cao Yang, telling him that if the Northern Mang delegation arrived, he should take them along to the capital.

”Ao Gu pays respects to the Marquis of Pingyang...”

”No...”

”It should be the Prince of Anbei now!”

Ao Gu, serving as the chief envoy for Northern Mang this time, approached Cao Yang and bowed slightly to this Prince of Anbei.
