The Southern Kingdom's court summoned him but refused to give him food, the Northern Kingdom's princess complained, the northern counties didn't trust Lu Yun and refused to join forces with him in battle, the young stranger in the snow-capped mountains assassinated him... plus the bombshell news brought by Luo Yan!
All these things combined together led to the death of my third brother!
Reality is different from dreams, but what is supposed to come will come. Lu Erlang's hands were shaking as he wrote the letter, and he reminded himself: Faster, faster! Only if I can grasp all this in advance, my third brother can escape from trouble!
…
In the war, Luo Lingyu helped bandage the wounded in the military camp. One day, she welcomed a distinguished guest who asked to see her. Luo Lingyu was extremely surprised and didn't know when she had the nerve to do such a thing. After she washed up and tidied her clothes, she was led by a soldier to see the man.
In the tent, the young man turned around first, looking over with a serene gaze.
Luo Lingyu was surprised: "Your Highness Prince Hengyang! Aren't you in Ruyang? Why are you in Nanyang?"
Liu Mu said calmly: "I was in Ruyang and saved a man. This man insisted on coming to Nanyang to meet Lu Sanlang. When I mentioned you, he became even more excited... This man claimed to be your cousin."
Behind Liu Mu, another young man turned around and smiled at the girl standing at the door. Luo Yan had a gentle look, and he was of the same bloodline as the Lu and Luo families. He had a good appearance, and when he bowed, Luo Lingyu couldn't help but step forward to help him.
Luo Lingyu: "Cousin! It's really you... Why are you here? Aunt said you were studying abroad."
Luo Yan originally looked at his sister with a gentle gaze. His relationship with Luo Lingyu was more intimate than with ordinary people. But when he heard Luo Lingyu say this, Luo Yan remembered something important and frowned: "I heard from His Royal Highness the Prince of Hengyang that the strategic layout here is in charge of my third cousin? I have important news to tell my third cousin, take me to see him!"
Luo Lingyu's eyes flashed, she agreed and asked the servant to pass on the message.
She and Luo Yan were cousins. They grew up together when they were young. Luo Yan was her brother and loved her much more than her aunt. But since the fall of Ruyang City, Luo Lingyu and her aunt's family were separated. It has been five years, and Luo Lingyu has never seen Luo Yan. Not seeing him for five years, even if she is selfish, she doesn't know what kind of character Luo Yan is today, so she has to stand on Lu Yun's side and think about whether her cousin will hurt others.
After all, there was something unspoken in the words of King Hengyang...it seemed that Luo Yan came from the North.
…
That night, Lu Sanlang returned and met Luo Yan. Time was short, so Luo Yan followed Lu Yun into the tent. He didn't bother to exchange pleasantries and old times, but took the opportunity to tell Lu Yun: "Cousin, when I was studying in the North, I received the letters you wrote to the celebrities. Did you know that the North regards you as a great enemy, and if any celebrity helps you, they will arrest the person and won't let him out?"
Lu Yun's eyebrows jumped: "You were also arrested?"
Luo Yan: "Anyway, I escaped... I was in contact with someone while I was captured and learned a piece of news. The Northern Kingdom captured a fire medicine master who developed a new type of explosive for them to use against the Southern Kingdom. The master was also arrogant and refused to hand over the formula, fearing that he would die if he handed over the formula. Now the fire medicine master is still in prison... Cousin, if you have a way, save him. When he is out, the Northern Kingdom will no longer have a new type of explosive, and will not be able to threaten my Southern Kingdom."
Lu Yun glanced at him and said, "...Your news is too late. I'm afraid the gunpowder has already been used by the Northern Country."
In the new counterattack, the North's firepower was very fierce. It turned out that this was the reason.
Luo Yan was stunned, then his face turned pale and he fell to the ground: "Ah! How could this happen? Is the Southern Kingdom going to lose?"
Lu Yun did not answer Luo Yan, but stood up and paced in the camp. He was quick-witted and could draw inferences from one thing to another. When Luo Yan told him the news, there was no need for Lu Erlang to write a letter to tell him what happened in his dream. Lu Yun's heart skipped a beat, his eyes lit up, and he hummed -
so it is.
Snowy mountains, an army, and the enemy chasing them.
It turned out that he was leading those people deep into the north to rescue those celebrities who were implicated, and also to take away the gunpowder master.
Otherwise, the Wei generals would not trust him to lead the troops to the battlefield alone.
At that time, the Wei general was in control of the battle, and he went to the enemy to save people. The enemy pursued fiercely, and he died in heavy snow and fog. However, the gunpowder master was successfully sent back to Nanyang, buying time for Nanyang and time for food and grass to be delivered.
Only then can Nanyang win a great victory.
Only the South can remain undefeated.
…
Lu Yun chuckled and muttered to himself, "So that's how it is."
Luo Yan was bewildered as he watched Lu Yun walk out of the tent. Feeling refreshed, Lu Yun walked out of the tent, but he looked up inadvertently and saw Hengyang King Liu Mu and Luo Lingyu standing together and talking. Although the two looked normal, standing together was like a thorn in Lu Yun's heart.
Lu Yun was silent for a moment, then said, "Sir."
Liu Mu looked over.
Lu Yun said slowly: "Lingyu and I have been engaged. She is now my fiancée."
Liu Mu: "..."
She frowned, still not understanding what Lu Yun meant.
After Lu Yun finished speaking, he also felt that he had said too much. Under Luo Lingyu's suddenly smiling gaze, Lu Sanlang remained calm and made up a random excuse: "Lingyu and I are engaged, and I have known Your Highness for a long time. Shouldn't Your Highness give us two gifts to congratulate us?"
Liu Mu: "..."
He was puzzled: ... Is this guy crazy about accepting gifts? Wait, this behavior... How come he is a bit like his second brother who talks nonsense and has no logic? Are they really a family?
Chapter 115
The King of Hengyang disliked the Lu family and sneered at them, so he did not send any so-called gifts. Lu Sanlang also made up an excuse to declare his sovereignty over Luo Lingyu and warned Liu Mu not to touch her. He did not care about any gifts either.
What is more important right now is that since he has almost guessed what his death crisis corresponds to, the next step is to find a way to deal with it.
As for the line in the court, he sent a letter to Jianye as quickly as possible, asking Prince Chen to send food and people as soon as possible and not to delay any longer.
On the Nanyang side, the vanguard troops that had been trained for a long time before were just what they needed to rescue people.
