Chapter 50
The last fight was too severe, so the Bai Pu army did not commit the offense again this time. However, Lu Ling and his men dared not relax until the letter of surrender arrived.
In this war, everyone wanted to end it and end the dispute between Baipu and Daliang that had lasted for many years.
On this day, Lu Ling was training his soldiers as usual when Yang Gan suddenly sent someone to say that Bai Pu was invading again and they needed to fight immediately.
When Lu Ling heard this, he immediately led his troops over.
When Lu Ling arrived at the city gate, Yang Gan and Zhang Xunwen had already brought their men to stand at the gate, and opposite them was the Bai Pu army, and standing in the middle was Bai Pu's new general.
The sky was filled with yellow sand and the sunlight was strong. Lu Ling looked over but couldn't see the new general's face clearly. He only saw that he was holding a spear in his hand, wearing Bai Pu military uniform, and his hair fluttering in the wind.
Lu Ling led a group of people out of the city gate, and neither side took any action.
Lu Ling stared at the enemy in front of him. The figure of this new general of Bai Pu seemed very familiar to Lu Ling, but he was too far away and could not see his face clearly.
"What is this?" Lu Ling asked Zhang Xunwen.
"He is the second prince of King Baipu - Nan Rongjing." Zhang Xunwen said.
Lu Ling looked over and thought to himself that this was Bai Pu's second prince. He didn't expect to see him so soon.
Lu Ling complained in his heart: It seems that Bai Pu is really out of people. After the old general passed away, this second prince actually went into battle immediately.
The two sides were deadlocked for a long time and no war broke out.
The sunlight shone fiercely on everyone, making it a little dazzling. Lu Ling blinked uncomfortably. This was her first time to go into the battlefield with real guns and swords.
"rush!"
Spears pierced the sky, and a war broke out.
Lu Ling rode a white horse and rushed straight towards the second prince of Bai Pu.
To catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. Lu Ling knew the truth behind this.
The horses ran very fast, and the yellow sand flew.
Lu Ling ran forward, his spear hitting Nan Rongjing directly. Soon, Lu Ling's spear was blocked by the other party.
The two guns collided, creating red sparks, and the two men brushed past each other, the gun passing between them. Lu Ling turned back and looked at Nan Rongjing, but Nan Rongjing hadn't turned around yet. The situation was urgent, and she didn't see the other person's face clearly.
While Nan Rongjing was still not turning around, Lu Ling flew over and pointed his spear straight at Nan Rongjing's throat.
At this moment, Nan Rongjing also turned around and pointed his spear forward.
The two guns were pressed against each other's necks, and just a little further forward they would pierce into each other's necks.
But neither side took any further action, just staring at each other.
Lu Ling felt that everything around her had become quiet and she could not hear any sound. Now she could only hear her own breathing.
Lu Ling couldn't believe his eyes. It was clearly Shen Wangyou who was cremated by him, so how could he appear in front of him now? Moreover, he was the second prince of Baipu Kingdom and also knew martial arts.
Not only Lu Ling's hands were shaking, but the other party's as well.
"Are you Shen Wangyou?" Lu Ling's voice trembled unconsciously, and there was a hint of sob in his words.
Nan Rongjing didn't say anything. He stared at Lu Ling for a long time before he said, "Yes."
Lu Ling didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a moment.
Xiao Chen Wangyou is not dead, or Ku Chen Wangyou has deceived himself.
His heart seemed to be pulled, and a tear fell from the corner of Lu Ling's eye.
Shen Wangyou had put down his gun, but Lu Ling hadn't put it down, but she couldn't bring herself to do it.
"Lu Ling!" Yang Gan pulled Lu Ling back with one word. She threw the gun forward. Shen Wangyou dodged and the gun just went into her chest a few inches. Blood slowly flowed out.
"Second Prince!"
Someone shouted Shen Wangyou, and then Lu Ling was stabbed.
Lu Ling was on horseback and the opponent was on the ground. The spear just pierced Lu Ling's lower abdomen.
Fortunately, Shen Wangyou stopped the man in time, so the spear did not move any further.
Lu Ling felt his heart churning, and his lower abdomen was numb and he could no longer feel the pain.
Seeing this, Yang Gan rushed out of the encirclement and came to Lu Ling, taking Lu Ling away. Shen Wangyou was also taken away by the people around him.
Neither of them looked at each other as they left.

"Go get some hot water!"
Outside the tent, many people were coming in and out, carrying basins of blood out.
Sweat kept pouring down, Lu Ling's hair stuck to his forehead, and the pillow was also wet with sweat.
The bullet didn't actually penetrate deep, but Lu Ling felt pain somewhere, so much so that his whole body was numb.
The military doctor was taking Lu Ling's pulse while Ye Rong was wiping his wound.
After taking the pulse, Yang Gan asked the military doctor about Lu Ling's condition. The military doctor hesitated and said, "General Lu didn't suffer any vital injuries, but I'm afraid..."
"Afraid of what?"
"I'm afraid General Lu won't be able to have children anymore in the future," the military doctor said cautiously.
Yang Gan stood there in a daze. Although he was a man, he knew how much of a blow it was to a woman if she couldn't have children.
Lu Ling didn't know if he could bear it.
Zhang Xunwen, who was standing by, was also stunned when he heard the news, but he soon recovered his composure.
On the battlefield, casualties are inevitable.
Lu Ling was unconscious for a long time. When she woke up, there was no one next to her. She was very thirsty and wanted to stand up to drink some water.
But as soon as Lu Ling moved, the wound hurt badly. After trying many times, Lu Ling gave up.
Fortunately, Ye Rong came in not long after.
She held a bowl of medicine in her hand, and when she saw Lu Ling wake up, she said happily: "General Lu, you are finally awake."
Ye Rong walked to Lu Ling and helped Lu Ling lie half on the bed. Ye Rong's hands and feet were very gentle, so that Lu Ling did not feel any pain.
Ye Rong wanted to feed Lu Ling, but Lu Ling refused and picked up the bowl to drink.
Lu Ling drank very quickly and finished the medicine in no time.
"Ye Rong, is there any news from Bai Pu?" Lu Ling asked Ye Rong.
Ye Rong shook her head and said, "No, although Prince Bai Pu was also injured, it's not serious."
Lu Ling originally thought that since Prince Bai Pu was injured, no one in Bai Pu would be able to fight, but he didn't expect that these people had not given up yet.
"I see." Lu Ling nodded, and then seemed to remember something, "How many days was I unconscious?"
She remembered that it was dark when she was unconscious, but now it was bright outside. She didn't know how long she had slept.
Ye Rong: "The general lost too much blood and was unconscious for over three days."
"Nothing has happened these days, has it?" Lu Ling asked. Things in war change rapidly, and she was afraid of any accidents.
Ye Rong shook her head and said, "No, originally General Yang wanted to take advantage of Prince Bai Pu's injury to attack Bai Pu, but General Zhang said there was no urgency and feared an ambush, so the attack was not carried out."
"I understand. You go down first."
After Ye Rong left, Lu Ling lay back on the bed, recalling the scene of that day, and couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
Shen Wangyou and Nan Rongjing are actually the same person.
Lu Ling thought back to when his father had strongly recommended Shen Wangyou to the court, and found it a little ridiculous.
It turned out that he was unwilling to serve as an official in the court at that time because he was a prince of Baipu Kingdom.
It turned out that the reason he was able to resign from his official position and go to Shuzhou alone was simply because he did not need the identity of an official appointed by the Daliang court, because he was the prince of Baipu Kingdom.
She should have thought of it earlier. Shen Wangyou was an extraordinary man. Even wearing tattered clothes could not hide his graceful temperament. How could he be a refugee?
The more Lu Ling thought about it, the more he felt stupid. He had always believed that Shen Wangyou was stupid and naive and had no martial arts skills. In fact, he could command an army and even fight against him.
During the battle between Lu Ling and Shen Wangyou that day, Lu Ling could feel the other party's martial arts on her, but he just didn't use his full strength.
She also knew why the Bai Pu army did not take action outside the city gate that day. Did they recognize her? Did they not expect her to appear here?
"Miss, can I come in?" It was Jiang Yun. Lu Ling collected his thoughts and said, "Come in."
Jiang Yun walked in, his face heavy, “Miss, was it Shen Wangyou who fought against you that day?”
Lu Ling glanced at him and found that Jiang Yun's arm was bandaged, but she didn't say anything, just nodded.
That day, when Jiang Yun saw the prince of Baipu Kingdom, he felt a little familiar, and he also felt familiar with the female general next to him.
When the battle started, Jiang Yun rushed straight towards the Baipu female general, and when he got closer, he saw that it was Lin Yao.
When he looked to the side again, it was Lin Yu.
Not long after Shen Wangyou entered the Lu Mansion, Lin Yu was also bought into the mansion. Because Shen Wangyou entered the court and lacked a servant to follow him, Lin Yu was arranged to be with Shen Wangyou.
At that time, no one doubted their relationship. Jiang Yun figured it out when he saw Lin Yu.
It’s not that Lin Yu hasn’t served Shen Wangyou before, on the contrary, he has always been Shen Wangyou’s subordinate.
When Jiang Yun saw Lin Yao, he was still imagining that Lin Yao was forced, but Jiang Yun couldn't convince himself. No matter how he looked at it, Lin Yao didn't look like she was forced.
Later, Lin Yao stabbed him, and Jiang Yun no longer believed her.
He came to ask Lu Ling to confirm whether the prince of Baipu Kingdom was Shen Wangyou? To confirm that the person who stabbed him that day was Lin Yao.
In fact, there was nothing to confirm, it was already a foregone conclusion, but he still wanted to ask, so when he heard Ye Rong say that Lu Ling had woken up, he went to find Lu Ling without stopping.
Lu Ling didn't know what Jiang Yun was thinking, so he just asked him, "Is your injury okay?"
Jiang Yun shook his head and said, "No problem, Miss, do you know the relationship between Leping Village and Shen Wangyou?"
"I don't know." Lu Ling was puzzled. Why did Jiang Yun suddenly ask about Leping Village? And how could Shen Wangyou be related to them? She clearly remembered that Shen Wangyou had contact with them because he was rescued by them.
"Miss, I saw Lin Yao and Lin Yu on the battlefield that day. They were both beside Shen Wangyou, and he seemed to be a general." Jiang Yun gritted his teeth.
Lu Ling's mind went blank. She didn't expect this to happen. Lin Yao was from Leping Village. After she thought Shen Wangyou was dead, Lin Yao disappeared. Lin Yao's parents could not be found in Leping Village. It turned out that they all "went home".
Leping Village is on the border of Ningzhou, not far from Baipu. There is indeed suspicion that the people of Leping Village are related to Shen Wangyou.
Thinking back to what happened in Leping Village, Lu Ling figured it out. Those people only obeyed Chen Wangyou.
Shen Wangyou has always been playing himself around.
"Jiang Yun, we were all deceived by them." Lu Ling looked at Jiang Yun and said with red eyes.
She had never hated someone so much.
"Then why did they lie to us?" Jiang Yun asked. It was understandable that Shen Wangyou lied to Lu Ling.
But what about Lin Yao? Why would she lie to me? I have no money, no power, what can I lie to?
"I still don't understand why they lied to us. The Baipu people are treacherous. What is their purpose? How can we guess it?"
The Baipu people were cunning and would always have various reasons for whatever they did. Lu Ling didn't know why Shen Wangyou and the others had lied to him.
