Luo Lingyu gave him a grateful smile.

The smile is as bright as the flowers blooming in March, dazzling and eye-catching.

The people in the inn who saw her were stunned for a moment, wondering how stunning she was.

…

The court of Jianye welcomed the Northern Kingdom's envoys, and the Northern Kingdom's princess entered the emperor's harem. The Northern Kingdom's envoys half-truthfully negotiated peace with the Southern Kingdom's court to buy time for the war that the Northern Kingdom was about to prepare for. However, they did not know that at this time, a hundred miles away from Nanyang, the Southern Kingdom's army encountered the Northern Kingdom's army, and the war was about to break out!

The negotiation with Jianye was like a joke, and the news had not yet arrived.

They waited patiently for the whole night. The army was on a surprise attack all night, and Lu Yun was in the army, adjusting the strategy at any time. After fighting all night, at dawn the next day, the northern army they were besieging retreated and left the mountain, bringing the first victory news to the southern country.

At noon, the Wei general led his men to search the mountains. One was to take care of the battlefield and capture prisoners, and the other was to prepare for the next battle. The Northern Army would not give up easily and would surely come back. The Southern Army stayed in the mountains to recuperate and discuss how to fight the Northern Army in the next stage.

After the meeting, Wei Cong was still looking at the topographic map and thinking. Lu Sanlang lifted the curtain and walked in, saying that he had to leave first.

Wei Cong's face suddenly fell.

Lu Yun: "The battle is here, but the border between the North and the South is very long, and other places will definitely be affected by this battle. Nanyang, Yingchuan, and Ruyang are all included in it. When I go to look for people, I can take the opportunity to observe the situation. The border counties need to unite together to meet the enemy, and the whole situation can be changed. Otherwise, even if Nanyang wins, Ruyang or Yingchuan loses, the might of the northern army will sweep over."

Wei Cong: "...If you look for Madam Luo, you can find so many reasons."

However, Wei Cong had to admit that Lu Yun's reason was valid. Wei Cong just wondered which was more important, Lu Yun's loyalty to his country or his desire to get Luo Lingyu back.

On that day, Lu Yun took more than a thousand people from the Wei generals and left the place, rushing back to Nanyang. After arriving in Nanyang to investigate the situation, he rode a white horse and went north again, searching for traces of the girl being abducted. At the same time, he contacted several other counties and looked for traces of the Northern Army along the way to see where their forces were dispersed.

In mid-October, the grass and trees in the north gradually dried up, and the fields were covered with endless yellow earth.

More than a thousand soldiers and horses walked on the water, and fought with the troops from the northern country who had infiltrated the southern border!

Lu Sanlang dismounted and squatted on the ground, studying the traces of the carriages and horses hidden by the bushes. He touched the dry soil on the ground and dismounted every few steps to calculate the direction and speed of the carriages and horses. By night, Lu Sanlang made a judgment: "The other side's carriages and horses are heading north, and the speed is not fast... Lingyu is safe for the time being."

The car was driving so slowly, it was obvious that the robbers were taking care of a weak woman like Luo Lingyu... Regardless of whether the other party took the initiative to take care of her, or Luo Lingyu was doing something to make herself feel better, it at least showed that she was still alive.

Lu Saburo's heart was pounding. When he got this information, he felt as if a heavy stone had fallen off his chest and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

The attendant beside him asked: "We have arrived at Yingchuan. Should we meet the King of Hengyang?"

One is to talk about the war and let King Hengyang cooperate with Nanyang's actions; the other is that if King Hengyang has any news about Miss Luo, he can tell them as soon as possible, or help them.

Lu Yun was silent for a moment, his face slightly strange. Ever since he received his second brother's letter, he has been very, very concerned about the King of Hengyang... However, the situation is critical at this time... Lu Yun said: "Let's go see the King of Hengyang."

…

Wars broke out everywhere, some were big like Nanyang, some were small like Yingchuan. But for a while, the war had not yet reached Ruyang. However, the situation on the border between the two countries was already very bad, and the court of Jianye, thousands of miles away, could no longer control it.

When Fan Qingchen and his men arrived in Ruyang, two guards inquired about the situation on the street. Fan Qingchen made a decision. He and Luo Lingyu would get married the next day, and they would go up the mountain immediately. They would sneak across the border using the means left by his father, leaving the South Country for the North Country... After all, Ruyang was no longer safe and could be affected by the war at any time.

Luo Lingyu delayed all the way and refused to get married. After arriving in Ruyang, she saw that Fan Qingchen's face was getting more and more impatient, so she didn't dare to provoke him too much. Fan Qingchen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was no longer making trouble. He invited a respected person in Ruyang to preside over their wedding.

In order to prevent Luo Lingyu from making more excuses, Fan Qingchen simply invited the tablets of Luo Lingyu's parents to the wedding.

When Luo Lingyu saw the tablets of her parents that Fan Qingchen had invited for the first time, she felt a little sour in her heart - she left Ruyang when she was less than ten years old, and returned to Ruyang after she came of age at the age of fifteen. It was a sense of fate that her destiny had changed, but she came back to marry the person she feared the most.

I haven't been here for five years. This place feels so familiar, yet so strange.

The night before the wedding, two guards guarded the doors and windows to prevent Luo Lingyu from escaping. Fan Qingchen entered the room and saw the girl crying by the window, and suddenly he felt unhappy. Fan Qingchen looked at her beautiful profile by the window and said impatiently: "Sister Luo, why are you crying again? Haven't we already brought your parents' tablets here? You are getting married tomorrow, don't cry your eyes out."

Luo Lingyu said nothing.

She suddenly felt pain in her wrist and screamed, and was pulled towards Fan Qingchen who was standing behind her.

Fan Qingchen hooked her chin and looked down at her. He slowly approached her, and saw that the girl's whole body suddenly stiffened. After all this time, she was still so repulsive to him...Fan Qingchen's heart kept rising with irritability and violence. He tried hard to suppress his emotions and not explode. But the string in his mind could not hold on for much longer...

Fan Qingchen rubbed her chin with his fingertips and smiled sinisterly: "Sister Luo, stop using tricks. Just marry me obediently."

"You don't want to really anger me and make me attack you, right?"

"I'm still caring about you...please don't provoke me."

Luo Lingyu pursed her lips, the fear in her heart was magnified. She was at a loss for a moment, not knowing how to escape the clutches of this madman - should she really marry him? Is there really no way to delay it?
