"I know," General Ning replied calmly.
Song Yun Xiang sighed and then asked, "What do you think if I proposed to send someone to sneak into the northern tribe and live there?"
The Northern tribe could send people to be spies in Fei Yang Kingdom, so why couldn’t they do the same?
"Not very feasible." General Ning shook her head and then looked at the north, her expression was unreadable but there was a hint of sadness. "They will not trust people from outside so easily and even if they took some women during the time they plundered resources, these women will be nothing more than objects that they could use and their well being will never be considered."
This was a fact.
A very painful fact that General Ning didn’t know what to say.
"Besides, how many people will truly treat women with respect if they’re not only seen as someone to give birth to children?" General Ning continued, her tone was still as calm as ever and even approaching indifference.
She’s a woman.
And she knew how hard it is for them to rise in this patriarchal era where their value was mostly to give birth to descendants. Even if there were some places where they were respected to a certain degree, the number was limited.
It was precisely because General Ning couldn’t accept it that she took up the sword by herself and fought on the frontline, eventually becoming a general.
Even if Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor didn’t fully trust her and looked down on her, she continued to serve as the general.
Because this is the path that she had chosen for herself.
"I know," Song Yun Xiang replied. He pursed his lips. "The best way to send people is to send children, but it’s not that easy to send people into their place."
To sneak people in... it was difficult.
Unlike Fei Yang Kingdom that had vast territory and vast population, which made it difficult to keep track of everyone, the northern tribe had limited number of people. Everyone there knew each other and because of that, they would definitely pay attention when there was someone new.
After that, there was also the issue of the cold temperature.
Many people died during winter because they could not stand the cold temperature at all. It was also because of this that even if they sent people to the northern tribe, it was another question whether that person would be able to survive and hold on.
As for passing news...
That was the problem afterwards.
It could be said that being small and living in difficult terrain had its own advantages.
"You can try if you want to, but there’s no guarantee that it’ll be successful," General Ning said and then stood up. "I’m going back. The strange wreckage has been sent over to your friend, Young Master Gu."
Young Master Gu, Gu Xia Mo.
