Chapter 208 “A loving father and a filial daughter”
After hearing Yun Ji ask the key question that had been bothering him for a long time, Nan Yi nodded hurriedly and continued his conversation.
"It's strange to say," he frowned, and a slightly deeper "chuan" pattern appeared between his eyebrows, "This Yuchi Yi is very different from ordinary generals.
“Every time he deployed his troops, fought or retreated, it was unimaginable. This time, it was particularly strange.
"It is clear that our Dali reinforcements have not arrived yet. If he leads his troops straight in, he will surely return victorious.
"But what's strange is that he didn't pursue the victory, but without any warning, abandoned the good situation and rushed back to Dadu overnight.
"According to reports from spies, Beishuo is stable, his father's condition has improved, everything is normal, there is nothing important that would warrant his return, but he has not come out until now.
“It doesn’t seem like he has no ambition to annex Dali.
"After all, he is in his prime, full of vigor and vitality, and is at the most suitable age to lead troops into battle with passion.
"I have been analyzing this with many advisers for a long time, but we still can't figure out why."
After answering Yun Ji's questions honestly, Nan Yi realized belatedly that something was strange.
Not to mention, when has my daughter ever looked at the war from such a sharp perspective? As a concubine of the previous dynasty, can she interfere in politics?
Seeing the confusion in Nan Yi's eyes, Nan Yingzhi took the initiative to speak and gave him the explanation that she had already discussed with Yun Ji and memorized by heart.
In front of her lover and father-in-law, she did not need to establish her authority, so she automatically changed the very distant "I" to the approachable "I".
“Brother Fanzhou, Xiao Zhizi woke up one day and told me that the ancestor of the Nan family came to him in a dream and taught him a lot of tactics.
"As your daughter, I think he has his own unique understanding of military tactics.
"I checked again and found that it was indeed true. His knowledge of military tactics was not inferior to mine. In fact, it was much better than mine.
"I appoint people based on their merits and appoint generals based on their abilities, not their backgrounds.
"Xiao Zhizi came to the frontline in person, not only to relieve your pain of missing him, but also because he is now the commander-in-chief and has the same authority as you."
Before Nan Yi could recover from the shock of his daughter gaining recognition from the ancestors and even being taught in dreams, he was shocked to hear that his daughter had the same authority as himself.
Originally, while listening to Nan Yi's description of the strange battle situation, Yun Ji was stroking his chin, thinking about the possibility that Yuchi Yi avoided fighting.
Nan Yi couldn't believe it at first sight. His lips trembled but he couldn't utter a word for a long time.
He bowed slightly and took the initiative to make a flat salute to Nan Yi: "General Nan, please give me your guidance in the next few days."
He couldn't get used to it for a while. The little girl who had been brought up by him was giving him a serious salute. Nan Yi quickly reached out and held her arms.
"Little Gardenia," he was always gentle to his daughter. He grinned and revealed a silly smile that made Yun Ji feel at ease. "You are my precious daughter, stop being so polite."
Yun Ji has never been willing to be inferior to others, and he hates to show respect to people who have higher authority than him.
After staying in Yun Ting's harem for a while, this little problem became more and more rampant.
He followed Nan Yi's force and stood up: "Yes, father."
Seeing Yun Ji call out the word "father", Nan Yi's already bad expression became even uglier. Nan Yingzhi was afraid of being exposed, and cold sweat flowed down her back.
She reached out and gently poked Yunji's lower back, signaling him to be less harsh and more gentle.
“Well,” Yun Ji had agreed with Nan Yingzhi that he would not reveal any flaws in front of Nan Yi while the war was still going on, so he decisively changed his address to “Daddy.”
Having just been struck by the word "father", Nan Yi heard him pinch his throat and say "Daddy" sweet as spring water. He instantly forgot his melancholy and relaxed his frown.
Seeing the loving father and filial daughter, the two of them smiled at each other. Nan Yingzhi felt relaxed and wanted to fill her hungry stomach.
"Would you like to have some lunch together?"
She rubbed her deflated belly and smiled at the two of them, "I was in a hurry to get on the road this morning, so I didn't eat much. Now, I'm really starving."
