Chapter 1640: Chapter 1267: Ancestors of Northern Mongolian, Sand Sea Slave!

"Oh dear, who has made our Princess Nian so angry? Come on, a Beauty, come and calm your fire..."

With that, Gu Changsheng jumped into the carriage!

Borjigin Nian, who was fuming with rage, suddenly paused in her cursing upon hearing Gu Changsheng’s voice. As soon as she saw Gu Changsheng’s figure and her senior brother following closely, Borjigin Nian’s face instantly broke into a smile of pure joy as she hurried forward, "Senior Brother! Gu Changsheng!"

Gu Changsheng looked at Borjigin Nian rushing over, a bright smile on her pretty face, saying smugly, "See, I told you, I’m the Beauty. Now look, the moment I show up, our Princess Nian calms down!"

Borjigin Nian, upon hearing this, finally broke into a smile on her previously furious face, snorted with laughter, and gave Gu Changsheng a sidelong glance, saying, "Gu Changsheng, your skin is getting thicker and thicker! Just look at you, so vain!"

Gu Changsheng shrugged nonchalantly at her words.

Seeing that Borjigin Nian’s previously frantic emotions had stabilized, Gu Changsheng nodded to Beauty Sai and Li Ji, who had been silently sitting in the corner of the carriage. They understood Gu Changsheng’s meaning, exchanged a glance with her, then stood up and walked out of the carriage, closing the door behind them, guarding it from both sides, leaving the space inside the carriage to Gu Changsheng, Zhou Mu, and Borjigin Nian alone!

"Nian, time is tight. Let’s make a brief stop here, and then we’ll head to Yanmen Pass. I’ve come here to ask you something!" Gu Changsheng sat down inside the carriage, holding Borjigin Nian’s hand. Her previous roguish demeanor replaced by seriousness, her bright face full of a somber expression, and spoke earnestly.

Borjigin Nian, hearing this, had a trace of confusion flash through the depths of her eyes. She glanced at her silent senior brother, then nodded to Gu Changsheng, saying, "Ask anything you want to know, as long as I know, I will definitely tell you! But before you ask, I have something to tell you!"

"Hmm? Go ahead!" Gu Changsheng nodded.

Borjigin Nian looked at the two people sitting in front of her, one her senior brother who grew up with her, and the other, a life-and-death friend, took a deep breath, and spoke with determination, "Gu Changsheng, Senior Brother, I want Northern Mongolia! I, Borjigin Nian, want it! I hate power struggles, hate deceit, but even so, I will become the Queen of Northern Mongolia!"

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu exchanged a glance, then Gu Changsheng smiled and nodded at Borjigin Nian, saying, "Alright!"

"Gu Changsheng, have you never had designs on Northern Mongolia?" Borjigin Nian murmured quietly upon hearing the answer, eyes slightly lowered, "Here, there are vast grasslands that stretch for thousands of miles, the best pasture in the world, the finest warhorses..."

"Never! Because Northern Mongolia has you!" But before Borjigin Nian could finish, Gu Changsheng interrupted her, her bright face full of certainty, "Borjigin Nian, you’ve fought side by side with me, back to back against enemies, yet I’ve never done anything for you! The only thing I can do for you is, even if my iron cavalry, Gu Changsheng’s, marches across every territory of this continent, it will not encroach upon Northern Mongolia in the slightest! As long as Northern Mongolia has you in it!"

"If I want capable warhorses, I can procure them from you. If I need formidable knights, I can borrow them from you. But only your home, your country, I will not covet! As long as Borjigin Nian remains for a day, I will not have designs on Northern Mongolia!"

Gu Changsheng looked at Borjigin Nian, with a bright, determined smile on her face.

Zhou Mu, sitting alongside Gu Changsheng, also nodded to Borjigin Nian in a promise-like manner.

"Gu Changsheng, Senior Brother..." Borjigin Nian’s deeply contoured face flooded with emotion, and a hint of moisture welled up in her eyes...

Having followed Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu for so long, no one understood their capabilities better than Borjigin Nian. They had formidable forces, invincible commanders, and undefeated military strategies...

If they wanted to unify the land, taking Northern Mongolia would be as easy as lifting a finger...

Yet they told her that as long as Northern Mongolia had her, they wouldn’t touch it!

Borjigin Nian knew these two people so well, their pride would not allow them to go back on their word!

Since they said so, they would do so!

"Gu Changsheng, Senior Brother, thank you! Thank you both for giving me the chance to protect my home and country, thank you..." She sniffled, blinking away the tears in her eyes, Borjigin Nian said with heartfelt emotion, "In this life, meeting you is my, Borjigin Nian’s fortune! It’s Northern Mongolia’s fortune!"

Gu Changsheng, hearing this, shook her head with a smile, raising her hand to pat Borjigin Nian on the shoulder, "We’re family, no need for that, put away your sentiments! Let’s discuss serious matters!"

"Hmm!" Just these three words from her family made Princess Nian’s heart, which had been betrayed by her own kin, instantly warm up again. She nodded vigorously and urged Gu Changsheng, "Speak!"

"Nian, I’ve sent Xiao Gu Ze to serve in the Vanguard Army, and now, he is at Yanmen Pass!" Gu Changsheng looked at Princess Nian and spoke in a deep voice.

"What? Xiao Gu Ze! How could you, Gu Changsheng! Are you out of your mind? How can there be a mother like you in this world? How could you let Xiao Gu Ze take such risks... you..." Princess Nian almost sprang up from the floor upon hearing this, immediately growling.

"Don’t be impulsive, don’t be impulsive! I know you care for the little one! But now is not the time to blame me, Nian, I have something to ask you!" Seeing Princess Nian so agitated, Gu Changsheng quickly reached out both hands to soothe her. "Nian, my son went to Yanmen Pass originally to inquire about your father, but instead of finding out any news about him, he inadvertently heard another piece of information!"

"Nian, the Pass Defending General at Yanmen Pass is secretly searching for something. No, more accurately, not just Yanmen Pass, but rather the whole of Northern Mongolia is secretly searching for something. It’s a massive mobilization, yet the actions are extremely covert. Nian, I’m here to ask you, you..."

"You don’t need to ask!" Princess Nian interrupted Gu Changsheng with a shake of her head before he could finish speaking.

Gu Changsheng was stunned by this.

Princess Nian looked at Gu Changsheng, expressionless, and continued in a deep voice, "You don’t need to ask. I know what they are searching for!"

"What? What are they searching for?" Gu Changsheng’s face instantly revealed a hint of surprise upon hearing this. "Nian, their secretive search with such fanfare proves that what they’re looking for is extremely important. If we can find that thing before them, then we can hold a crucial leverage against them, grasp their soft spot! They have your father in their hands. If we find that thing, it would mean equaling the playing field! Quickly tell me, what are they searching for!"

Upon hearing this, Princess Nian’s eyes showed a fleeting dark shadow, her body leaned weakly against the carriage, and she spoke with a look of loss, "Gu Changsheng, do you know why I was so angry just now?"

Gu Changsheng shook his head at this.

"Because Borjigin Lvchi just came to ask me about the whereabouts of that thing! Haha..." As she said this, Princess Nian let out two cold laughs, then her gaze suddenly became somewhat unsure, and she spoke sadly, "Gu Changsheng, Senior Brother, this matter concerns the dignity of Northern Mongolia. It’s the Northern Mongolian Royal Family’s legitimate lineage’s greatest secret. Even Borjigin Lvchi doubted the origin of that thing in his heart when he asked!"

Gu Changsheng felt even more puzzled at this!

He glanced at the evildoer in his family, and their expressions mirrored each other’s shock and confusion!

Taking a deep breath, Princess Nian looked at the two, forcing a smile, and spoke seriously, "Our Northern Mongolian Royal Family, the legitimate descendants of the Qiyan Tribe Borjigin, were once the family servants of the Sand Sea Wolf Tribe!"

"What!"

Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu were shocked, unable to refrain from exclaiming.

Looking at the astonished two, the mocking smile on Princess Nian’s face deepened, and she spoke sternly, "Gu Changsheng, you did not mishear. Our Northern Mongolian ancestors were once Sand Sea slaves! This matter concerns Northern Mongolia’s honor and disgrace, and even Borjigin Lvchi doesn’t believe it, but I know it is true!"

"Our Northern Mongolian Royal Family, which has ruled over the vast grassland for generations, undoubtedly comes from a family servant background!"

"It’s funny, isn’t it? When tracing back to our ancestors, my Borjigin ancestors were indeed born of servant status, not only of servant status but were servants to our enemies... Haha..."

Gu Changsheng, hearing this, found himself unable to restrain the emergence of doubts after the initial shock, "Then, how did a Sand Sea Royal Family’s servant become a Northern Mongolian Royal Family?"

Princess Nian heard this and shook her head, "I don’t know! This segment of history has faded away to the point where nobody remembers it anymore!"

"Are there no records in any old texts?" Gu Changsheng continued upon hearing this.

"As a member of Northern Mongolia’s Royal Family, would you document your ancestor’s origins in old texts?" Princess Nian replied, shaking her head, "In this world, those who most wish to forget that sealed away past are probably us. Wanting to forget the servant origins still not enough, let alone record them to constantly remind ourselves of the lowly and humble roots..." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Uh... heroes don’t ask about their background, Nian, perhaps you’re overthinking!" Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but offer words of comfort, yet, in the blink of an eye, a hint of suspicion appeared in his eyes as he asked, "Without records, Nian, how are you sure your ancestors were born from servant lineage?"
