Fantasy: Ten Dragons Compete for the Throne, I, the Villain, Choose to Play it Off

Chapter 21 Qin Linglong heads to the Northern Frontier
Qin Rentu glanced at his granddaughter, sighed, and said, "According to the message from the envoy of the Northern Wei Dynasty, this marriage alliance will be between one of the ten princes of our Great Zhou."

"To show our emphasis on the marriage alliance, the candidates for princes are the eldest prince Li An, the third prince Li Yuanzheng, and..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Linglong felt a bad premonition.

as predicted.

All that could be heard was Qin Rentu saying, "Tenth Prince, Li Qiye!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Linglong was completely stunned.

"But...but the Tenth Prince is such a spoiled brat, how could the Northern Wei princess possibly be interested in him?"

"Furthermore, among the ten princes, this tenth prince is utterly unremarkable, and moreover..."

At this point, Qin Linglong fell silent.

In the past, the tenth prince would not have been considered as a candidate for a marriage alliance.

However, he came into everyone's view after he personally killed Xiao Yun, a talented student at Qinglian Academy.

Only then did the court officials realize that the tenth prince, Li Qiye, was not as dissolute as he usually appeared.

Moreover, the fact that the Sixth Prince was sent to the Northwest was inseparable from the Tenth Prince.

Therefore, among the ten princes who were sent for marriage alliances this time, the tenth prince, Li Qiye, was included.

Upon seeing this, Qin Rentu couldn't help but sigh.

Qin Linglong remained silent for a long time before finally speaking: "If the tenth prince is ultimately chosen for the marriage alliance, there is no point in me staying. His Majesty has made his decision, and no one can change it."

Suddenly, Qin Linglong smiled and said, "Grandpa, my dream since I was little has been to become a brave and invincible general like you."

"When the day my dream comes true, even if Li Qiye becomes the emperor, won't he still have to treat me with great respect?"

"Just like how the current emperor treats my grandfather, so I have already made my decision..."

"Heading to the Northern Frontier!"

Qin Linglong looked determined, and finally snorted: "I will not stay in the Imperial Mausoleum City and watch him be intimate with the Northern Wei princess, which will also affect my mood."

"Grandpa, let's not talk about it anymore, let's go prepare."

After saying this, Qin Linglong turned around and went back to her room.

Seeing his granddaughter's back, Qin Rentu was reminded of his daughter who had died in the secret realm, and his lips twitched.

Finally, taking a deep breath, he said, "Actually, there is a way to exclude the Tenth Prince, Li Qiye, from the list of candidates for marriage alliance."

Upon hearing this, Qin Linglong stopped.

Turning to her grandfather, she said stubbornly, "Whether he goes to the marriage alliance or not is his business, it has nothing to do with me..."

"By the way, Grandpa, what's the method?"

In the end, Qin Linglong finally said what she wanted to say.

“It is impossible for a princess from the Northern Wei to become a concubine when she marries into our Great Zhou.”

Qin Rentu looked at his granddaughter and couldn't help but sigh.

Upon hearing this, Qin Linglong's body stiffened abruptly.

Outside the imperial mausoleum city.

The army marched outwards, and massive spaceships took off, heading north.

These spaceships were specially crafted by master craftsmen, and each contains a small world within it.

Each spaceship can accommodate an army of 100,000.

On a spaceship, Qin Linglong stood on the deck, wearing silver armor and a red cape, her ponytail swaying in the wind, looking heroic and dashing.

Her gaze was fixed on the direction of the Imperial Mausoleum City, as if she were waiting for someone to appear.

She ultimately chose to follow her grandfather to the northern frontier.

Qin Linglong knew in her heart that if her grandfather really swallowed his pride and went to Emperor Yuan to propose marriage, Emperor Yuan probably wouldn't refuse.

But she didn't want to do that. Her grandfather had spent his life fighting on the battlefield and had his own pride. Moreover, because of her aunt's matter back then, she had a falling out with Emperor Yuan.

Qin Linglong refused to let her grandfather bow down to Emperor Yuan for her sake.

Actually, there was another important reason: Qin Linglong wanted to be with Li Qiye openly and honestly, rather than being with him in such a humble way.

She had figured it out: even if Li Qiye really became the crown prince and the emperor of the Great Zhou, he would definitely have more than one concubine.

The emperor of such a large country naturally had many concubines.

As the granddaughter of General Guozhu, Qin Linglong naturally understood this principle.

"Rather than lowering myself to fight for the so-called empress, I would rather be the female general who conquers the world."

"Li Qiye, I may not be able to keep up with you, but I must prove to you that I am not just a pretty face."

This is also what Qin Linglong is struggling with.

In the end, he made his own choice.

Above, a fierce wind raged, whipping her battle armor.

As the army was about to depart, Qin Linglong gazed in the direction of the Imperial Mausoleum City, hoping to catch a glimpse of that figure.

But the figure never appeared, and a sense of disappointment flashed through Qin Linglong's heart.

But I still tried to comfort myself.

"Actually, I was already mentally prepared. He's so lazy, he spends all day lying in his palace. How could he possibly come to see me off?"

Qin Linglong shook her head, preparing to turn around and return to the cabin, when suddenly she stopped.

His previously dim eyes suddenly lit up, and he stared intently in the direction of the Imperial Mausoleum City.

A figure appeared in the direction of the Imperial Mausoleum City, and Li Qiye walked towards them unhurriedly.

Although he was mixed in with the crowd of people seeing off their relatives and friends, Qin Linglong still recognized him.

Li Qiye stretched out his hand and lazily waved to the sky.

Upon seeing this, Qin Linglong couldn't help but smile slightly.

She waved and then turned and walked into the spaceship cabin without hesitation.

The next moment, the spaceship transformed into a long rainbow and disappeared into the distance.

"Just leave!"

Seeing the spaceship disappear into the sky, Li Qiye shook his head helplessly. Although he usually found Qin Linglong a bit too noisy, he still felt a little nostalgic for the sudden quiet around him.

It would be a lie to say that he had absolutely no feelings for Qin Linglong.

Li Qiye was intelligent enough to know Qin Linglong's feelings.

When he transmigrated into this world, he felt that his previous behavior was utterly ridiculous.

As a prince, why would he act like a sycophant? What woman in the world can't he have? Why bother trying to win her over?

However, the original plot changed when Qin Linglong gave him the gift.

To his utter astonishment, Xiao Yun, the protagonist of Destiny, also perished.

So, this is how it has become now?
Li Qiye shook his head helplessly, pulled himself out of his thoughts, and turned to walk towards the direction of Qinglian Academy.

Just yesterday, his father gave him an order that he must report to Qinglian Academy every day.

Whether he listens to the lectures after he goes is something he can control, but he has to go!

Of course, he wasn't the only one to receive this order; the other princes received the same.

Although the reason is unknown, Li Qiye knows his father well. This strong-willed father always has a deep meaning in everything he does and would never do anything inexplicable.

Li Qiye didn't care much about this; it was just a matter of finding another place to slack off.

There is no difference between the Seven Nights Prince's Mansion and the Green Lotus Academy; changing the environment simply changes the mood.
