Lu Yun's eyes narrowed, and his expression paused for a moment. He smiled, hooked her waist, pulled her into his arms and kissed her: "Sister Yu'er is right. I was wrong. It's best not to test you. I will love you well for the rest of my life..."
His kiss was gentle and full of compassion, successfully making Luo Lingyu soft again and hugging his waist. When she touched his warm skin and cool ointment, she could barely spare a thought: Ah, she hasn't finished applying the medicine to Brother Xuechen yet.
Luo Lingyu struggled: "No, no, no..."
Lu Yun was unhappy: Why “no” again?
Luo Lingyu continued to speak: "Don't touch the wound on your body..."
Lu Yun was stunned for a moment, the light in his eyes softened, and he said in a low voice: "It's okay. I'm not afraid of being pressed, the injury is not serious. Lingyu, Lingyu..." His slender fingers rubbed her hair, pressing lightly. He concealed his emotions, making himself restrained and calm. He controlled the degree, but his body was already shivering with heat. On the surface, he was still just hugging her.
Lu Yun murmured, "Lingyu... With family and country at the forefront, is it not good for me to indulge in love and sex?"
Luo Lingyu gasped and groaned under his kiss, her body huddled up like a cat. When she opened her wet eyes to answer, she found that Lu Yun didn't want her to answer at all. Lu Yun murmured to himself: "It's okay to delay, the country is not mine. I won't touch you, I just kiss and touch you..."
He couldn't lose her.
But that fatal disaster, that fatal disaster... made his eyes darken and he felt anxious.
Luo Lingyu was pressed on the bed by him, and felt his uneasy mood, as if he was being pressed by a volcano. She briefly had doubts in her mind, guessing that the soldiers had told her that she would not go to the battlefield to kill the enemy unless it was absolutely necessary, so how did Lu Yun get the injury? Was it related to his current mood?
Chapter 112
The war between the North and the South has not ended. The victory of the South is only the first stage of victory. And the victory of the South is not easy. It is just to take back Ruyang and let other states and counties in the north see the strength of Lu Sanlang.
The North, which had always shown its willingness to negotiate, has reduced its clerical harassment of the South after the defeat. This makes people feel uneasy, and they wonder if the North is hatching a terrible conspiracy or hiding some secret weapon that can defeat the South.
The weak court forces in the South tried to contact the North and asked whether the peace talks would continue. The answer given there was that if Riku Saburo was not there, the peace talks could be considered.
It's not that they don't have the ability to fight, but that they are unwilling to fight.
Even if the Southern Kingdom won this battle, the noble families in the Jianye court breathed a sigh of relief. Some of them still felt that after they had proved their strength, they did not need to pursue the victory, but rather negotiated. To fight a war, they needed to take money from their coffers. The selfish noble families could not see the benefits and were reluctant to pay. This group of noble families, together with the hidden selfish forces such as Zhao Wang Liu Huai, wanted to get Lu Sanlang back to Jianye and send other famous scholars to reduce the anger of the Northern Kingdom. Restart negotiations.
This faction has a considerable number of members in the court.
However, Chen Wang Liu Chu and the Lu family held the opposite view. They believed that one matter did not trouble two masters, and that Lu Sanlang had done a good job in this matter. The northerners were treacherous and should not be given any illusions. Lu Sanlang was in the north and understood the current situation better than they did. If Lu Sanlang believed that it was necessary to continue the war, the court should fully support him.
The difference from Lu Erlang's dream is that with Lu Erlang's efforts, he convinced his father and the insignificant family to stand on the side of King Chen. The power behind King Chen is stronger than in his dream, which makes him more confident and makes the opposing party, such as King Zhao, more cautious and more frantic in their opposition.
Whether to fight or to make peace, when one has the strength but also has to pay a price, there is always no conclusion to be reached.
The two sides argued in the court, which naturally delayed the soldiers and food supplies at the border. Prince Chen had mentioned it many times, but the court was not positive. Fortunately, Zhou Yangling had left the capital to help, so Prince Chen Liu Chu was just paralyzing his political enemies and delaying time. Coincidentally, the other side also thought that delaying time would be conducive to peace talks. The two sides strangely maintained a delicate balance.
Since the scholars and officials were unable to reach a consensus, the issue was naturally sent to His Majesty the Emperor, who would make the final decision.
Deep in the palace, the old emperor received the memorial sent by the eunuch and threw it away in a headache. In the center of the palace, dancers danced and singers sang. The opera voice was fresh and mellow, floating in the hall. The princess of the northern country who was sitting on the upper throne with the old emperor secretly glanced at the emperor and saw that his majesty showed an impatient expression on his face after receiving the memorial.
His Majesty closed his eyes, clasped his hands on the armrests of his desk, and did not want to listen to the eunuchs muttering about the war in the north.
His Majesty is somewhat dissatisfied.
The princess of the Northern Kingdom was sensitive. From the calm expression of His Majesty, she realized that the old emperor was not indifferent to the noble families. The princess of the Northern Kingdom looked at the old emperor's expression, carefully recalled what she wanted to say, and then said: "...In fact, my Northern Kingdom is also willing to negotiate with the Southern Kingdom, but Lu Sanlang is arrogant and thinks we are a conspiracy, so he is holding back and refuses to give in."
The princess thought of the elegant and romantic man in her memory, and her heart was in a trance for a while, but soon, it was replaced by a more crazy emotion with hidden jealousy: "... Lu Sanlang is a child of a noble family, he looks down on others, right? Your Majesty, you have to consider the face of the noble family when you speak in the court, how wronged you are."
The old emperor thought so.
But he looked impatient: "Shut up. What do you know?"
The princess of the Northern Kingdom froze, her face pale, and she bit her lips until blood oozed from them. She was marrying off for no reason, but this old pervert did not value her. He favored the other beauties sent by his son, and now he was humiliating her like this. Even if she entered his harem, she was once a princess.
It's embarrassing to be looked down upon like this!
Isn’t it just a southern country?
When the Northern Kingdom wins, when the Northern Kingdom wins... The Princess of the Northern Kingdom lowered her eyes and said softly, "I am just afraid that the imperial power will fall into someone else's hands. Your Majesty has been blinded by them. I heard that Lu Sanlang has a high reputation in the Southern Kingdom. If he becomes more powerful, the noble family will be even more proud. Then Your Majesty... I have said too much. How could Your Majesty not know this?"
