I got excited and entered my own game save file.

The so-called "Folly of Neretes" is a story about an epic battle in Calradia decades ago. Emperor Neretes hired Cusset and Asselle to fight Stegia and Badannia, but was stabbed in the back by his own mercenary Vallandia. After a fierce scuffle, Nerezes was killed and the empire split into three, forming the current political landscape of Calradia.

During the war, the Dragon Banner, which represents the sanctity of the Empire, was destroyed and torn apart, scattering everywhere. The reason why Ning wanted to use this historical event to ask the nobles who participated in the war that year was precisely because she had a fragment of the Dragon Banner in her hand—only for now, she only knew that it was an important artifact related to that battle, which might be worth a lot of money, and she did not know the deeper political meaning of the Dragon Banner.

After the dinner was over, Ning was so drunk that it was difficult for her to walk normally, but she was still clamoring to go back to the tavern to sleep. Ling Xiao had no choice but to let her put it on her shoulder, and under the escort of the envoy sent by Tulag out of "friendship", she staggered back to the tavern inn.

Back at the tavern, the comrades-in-arms were drinking, after all, the boss won the competitive tournament today, which was enough for them to brag for a while. However, after seeing Ling Xiao bring back Ning, who was dressed up and almost unconscious, in a very intimate manner, they were stunned, but immediately they had a very tacit understanding, and they all focused on Ling Xiao with a faint look full of ridicule.

Hooking shoulders with the beautiful boss, Ling Xiao was originally a little nervous, but now he asked his comrades to take a look at this kind of look, which made him even more panicked. It's also a shame that he has drunk a lot of wine, and his face is already red, so the blush is not very obvious now. Feeling a little uncomfortable being stared at, Ling Xiaowen asked angrily, as if it could relieve the embarrassment: "What...... What's wrong?".

Everyone was silent at first, until they didn't know who held back a sentence.

"Nothing, hostess. "

As soon as these words came out, the subordinates of Ning in the tavern, the drinkers next to him and the bartender in charge of the accounts all laughed. The movement was so loud that even Ning, who was almost asleep in Ling Xiao's arms, woke up and dozed off temporarily, looked around in a daze, and looked back at Ling Xiao with sleepy eyes: "What boss lady...... Isn't there no hostess in the tavern?".

"Ahem, boss, are you kidding......

".

Ling Xiao snorted, but the eyes that looked around clearly said, "You hurt me." But what can he do? The fun of teasing the feelings of men and women lies in the explanation that the person in question denies. The more the parties argue, the more fun the provocateur will have. So in Ling Xiao's opinion, anyway, everyone is a little drunk now, rather than risking each other to argue more, it is better to ignore it, and wait until everyone is sober tomorrow morning, and then start to deal with this matter - if everyone can forget, then of course it is better.

Tulag's envoy left, and it was the tavern waitress who was in charge of helping Ling Xiao send Ning back to his room. Helped open the door, and the receptionist went downstairs to work, leaving Ling Xiao alone to drag Ning into her guest room. Waiting for Ning's increasingly heavy body to be placed on the bed, Ling Xiao finally felt relaxed.

However, Ling Xiao had just leaned over to cover Ning with the quilt, and when he turned to leave, he suddenly heard a girl's sobs faintly behind him.

Ling Xiao looked back in amazement and found that the source of the crying was none other than Ning. At this time, the girl was still dreaming, but her pink fists were clenched, her brows were furrowed, like anger, and like mourning. As she sobbed unconsciously, tears spilled down her long eyelashes and seeped under her pillow.

"Dreaming?".

Ling Xiao was at a loss for a moment, vaguely feeling as if he should do something, but after thinking about it, it seemed that he couldn't do anything now. So he could only smack his lips, tiptoe away, and quietly bring the door.

......

......

......

The next day, Ning woke up the latest, but when she appeared in the tavern again in her own uniform, she was still the usual vitality girl. At this time, she didn't know that her subordinates' scandal about herself and Ling Xiao was about to be arranged, so when she went downstairs and saw Ling Xiao, who was discussing martial arts experience with a few swordsmen, she didn't hesitate at all, and immediately said hello.

The emotions between people are quite strange, and the two have only known each other for a day or two, but because of more interaction yesterday, they are now familiar with each other.

Ordering a meal in the tavern, Ning sat calmly beside Ling Xiao.

"You sent me back last night?".

"Or else, will the Great Khan of Monchug send you back?"

"Ahh

Dine yawned, but there was still a smell of wine in his breath.

Seeing the girl's leisurely appearance, Ling Xiao's doubts suddenly blocked in his throat - he was not quite sure, and now he asked Ning why he fell asleep and cried last night.

At this moment, a rough voice came from outside:

"I'm looking for Ning. "

Ning and her men all looked at the visitor, only to see that the person who came was very large, wearing a domed iron helmet, a bearskin coat on his shoulders, and a chain armor all over his body. Ning was originally a little lazy, but when he saw this big man coming, he suddenly had a spirit, and suddenly stood up straight, with a fierce look on his face.

"Why are you ?—— my brother here?!".

Yes, the person who came was none other than the robber leader who was captured by the Ning brothers and sisters, Daragos. According to the previous agreement between the brother and sister, Dalagos should have been taken by his brother Nuxon to find his younger siblings, but now that he is alone, there must have been an accident.

"Okay, please calm down first. Dalagus immediately began to explain, "We found your brother and sister, but my 'business' partner Garter betrayed me. We wanted to talk to him about releasing the two children, but he asked his men to detain us on the spot...... I had a good relationship with one of his men, and that one of them secretly released me while no one was around...... But I'm not going to spare traitors, so I'd like to make a deal with you. "

"What deal?".

"I'll take you to get your family out, and when it's done, you'll have to hand over Garte to me. "

“...... Deal. "

Ning was anxious. She rushed to the room in a panic, to clean up the softness, and suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly looked back at Ling Xiao: "You go and inform the brothers, we will start immediately." "

"Boss, don't you have breakfast first?".

"Pack it and eat it on the road. "
