After Lu Yun found out where Master Huo Yao was imprisoned, he no longer needed to look for opportunities to meet people and arouse suspicion. He thought that the night when the governor of Luoyang wanted to take Chen Xue as his concubine would be a good opportunity to make a move. Before the governor could even touch her, his new beautiful concubine turned into a burly man... The governor must be very surprised.

Chapter 118

In Nanyang City, the war situation is not going well. The new gunpowder of the North is powerful and cannot be matched by human power. The counties of the South and the North have united, with General Wei as the commander, but with the decreasing number of soldiers and food, it is becoming increasingly difficult to repel the North.

In the recent battles, the South has suffered heavy casualties in terms of military strength. Even if the militia is gathered together, the number of people who can go to the battlefield is decreasing.

The food problem could originally be solved by seizing food from the enemy, but if we were unable to defeat the enemy, this problem would become increasingly difficult to solve.

After a snowfall, Luo Lingyu found General Wei outside the commander's tent while cleaning up the battlefield. His face was covered in blood, and his armor and robe were torn and tattered. Snow mist was scattered and fell on his shoulders and body. He stared blankly at the people carrying biers coming and going on the battlefield. Hearing footsteps behind him, Wei Cong turned around, his eyes a little dull.

He said slowly: "... Miss Luo."

Luo Lingyu looked at him and said softly, "The general is injured. I heard that the general got angry and didn't let anyone get close to him. Let me take a look."

Wei Cong chuckled, seeing that Luo Lingyu's skirt was also stained with blood. She was slender and beautiful, standing on the rough post-war field, like a gorgeous rose blooming in the flames of war. Wei Cong rubbed his face and said, "...It's not going well here, Nanyang is starting to get into chaos. I promised Lu Sanlang to protect you, girl, pack up and get ready to leave the city."

It was clear that they had won the war against the Northern Kingdom and had the upper hand; but because of the inaction of the court, they were forced to this point.

Wei Cong was filled with rage, but because of his high position and power, he had no way to vent his anger.

Luo Lingyu's heart sank violently. She had never expected the war situation to be so bad. However, her expression remained unchanged, and she still spoke softly: "I won't leave. General, why are you so depressed? Didn't my third cousin sneak into Luoyang to rescue people? If that master is rescued, the fire in the North Country will be extinguished. The benefits will come to our side... General, don't you believe in my third cousin's ability?"

Wei Cong was anxious: "What's the use of believing or not? Miss Luo, you don't know yet! If we continue to fight, we will run out of food! Our troops are getting fewer and fewer, and now it's snowing heavily... If we run out of food, will it make a big difference whether Lu Sanlang succeeds or not?"

The heavy snow after the winter solstice was exactly the time in Lu Erlang's dream.

Luo Lingyu had other concerns in her mind. Facing the question blurted out by General Wei, she acted calm and almost indifferent: "If there is no food and grass, ask the noble families for it. The great noble families in Nanyang have stored countless amounts of food in previous years. Even though they are beginning to face difficulties now, they are still more confident than ordinary families. If they pool their resources, they will surely be able to hold on for another day or two. In such a critical moment, the noble families will naturally spend some money."

General Wei's expression changed slightly: "... Make enemies with the noble families?!"

Lu Yun dared to do this because he had a top wealthy family behind him, but where did Wei Cong get the confidence?

Luo Lingyu looked into the distance and said softly, "...Isn't my cousin back? He is of the Lu and Luo families, so he should be the one who offends others. Don't worry, General, my third cousin has made arrangements... My cousin will help and will not let you be the bad guy."

Luo Lingyu: "In short, General, don't worry about these things. General, just do your best to buy time for my cousin."

Wei Cong had fought for so many years, and he would understand these words if he thought about them for a while. Luo Lingyu just reminded him in advance. However, this early reminder also comforted Wei Cong.

Wei Cong looked at her in amazement. He saw the girl's eyelashes were covered with snow mist. She looked beautiful and confident. The wind blew the snow, her skirt fluttered, and a piece of snow blew towards her neck. She shivered from the cold. She found that Wei Cong was peeking at her, so she turned her head and smiled. The light in her dark eyes burned like wildfire. She was so beautiful, and the more adverse the situation, the more passionately she bloomed. She was not timid or sad like an ordinary girl at this time.

Luo Lingyu smiled at him, squatted down, held his arm, and began to check his wound.

Wei Cong blurted out: "Sister is really far-sighted, I am ashamed of myself..."

Luo Lingyu shook her head: "No. I was just helping him."

Before she came to Nanyang, she cut up Lu Yun's letters and burned the old things Lu Yun gave her. At that time, she was scared and thought about leaving Lu Yun. But she still came to find him. After seeing him, her previous hesitation was no longer valid. Luo Lingyu was the kind of person who would never look back once she made up her mind. She had no sense of justice, no compassion... She just wanted Lu Yun to live.

Marry her alive.

She longed for a happy marriage, and most of all, she longed for a marriage after marrying Lu Yun. When she was so close to her dream, even if the snow began to fall heavily in Nanyang, she was unwilling to take a step back at this moment. She silently said in her heart: You said you would live, you said you would marry me... You can't break your promise. If you break your promise, you will kill me, and I will not accept that fate.

…

Luo Lingyu actively helped the army deal with the problem of reserve fodder, and Lu Yun had indeed told Luo Yan about it before he left. When Luo Lingyu went to see him, Luo Yan, wearing a crane cloak and accompanied by soldiers, knocked on doors one by one, negotiating with the noble families in Nanyang and asking them to provide food. The noble families didn't even have enough food to eat, so they didn't care about Luo Yan and just dealt with it.

Luo Lingyu and several other girls were bandaging the wounded soldiers in the tent. Lingyu, the maid she had assigned to keep an eye on the news, ran in and whispered in her ear urgently, "Some noble families have arranged for their children to flee Nanyang, and they have all reached the city gates. I'm afraid Luo Erlang can't control them anymore."

The girl next to her was distracted, and she saw Luo Lingyu holding up her skirt and running out with the maid. The girl cried out "Ah!" and tried to stop her, but she ran out of the tent to ask Luo Lingyu where she was going. But she saw the girl running so fast on the snow that she and the maid disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The girl: “…”

Luo Lingyu is usually very leisurely, I've never seen her so anxious!
