Luo Lingyu shook her head and struggled to get up: "I have an appointment with a sister-in-law to play the zither tonight. If I say I won't go back, won't everyone know what I'm doing with you? I don't want to."

Lu Yun was unhappy about being rejected. He glanced at the kiss mark on her neck and said, "...if you go back, others won't know about it?"

But Luo Lingyu was so determined that even though Lu Yun tried to persuade her to stay, she was too weak to stand up, but she still insisted on going back to the Luo family. Lu Yun was sometimes annoyed by her determination and unshakable will, but he couldn't persuade her. Lu Yun had to cover her eyes with his hands and sighed, "Take a rest, I'll help you take care of it and then take you back."

Hearing that he was not pleased, Luo Lingyu nestled in his arms contentedly, closed her eyes and dozed off to relieve the fatigue in her body, while letting Lu Yun clean up the marks on both of them.

Because too many things were smashed in the house and there were traces of chaos afterwards, Lu Yun didn't want to waste any more time here. He didn't call the servants to come in and clean up, but put on his clothes casually, wrapped the girl in his arms tightly, and then carried her out to his room to ask someone to call water and wash her.

Lu Sanlang carried Luo Lingyu in his arms and walked deep into the courtyard.

The eyelids of the servants passing by in the courtyard twitched slightly, and they all lowered their eyes and dared not raise their heads, or even open their eyes to look at the girl's clothes that Sanlang was wearing.

However, Lu Yun is considered a big shot in Nanyang now, and many things need to be consulted with him. When Lu Yun was walking in the corridor with Luo Lingyu in his arms, his eyes twitched slightly, and he saw the tall figure of Wei Cong from the corner of his eye. Wei Cong was led by his servants to Lu Yun's study, and almost bumped into Lu Sanlang face to face across a corridor.

Lu Yun turned around and changed direction to avoid Wei Cong.

Wei Cong was slow to react. He had been looking down, frowning as he thought about the conditions proposed by Beiguo, and came here to ask Lu Yun what he thought. Someone passed by, and Wei Cong quickly raised his head and saw the curtains flying, the moonlight was hazy, and across the long corridor of flowers and plants, there was a girl with long black hair and a beautiful face.

It was as if she was holding someone in her arms.

General Wei finally saw someone in the house and was struck by the woman's profile. He strode out and said, "Girl, girl... Hey, don't leave?"

The girl walked further and further away from him through several curtains and corridors. Her delicate eyebrows and eyes, her tall figure walking in the moonlight, her calm and indifferent temperament, her fluttering silk ribbons, her silk skirt like smoke... all of them instantly touched General Wei's heart and made him stunned.

However, the beauty was very familiar with the corridor of the courtyard, and she disappeared before Wei Cong's eyes in the blink of an eye. No matter how much her lover chased her, she was as hard as iron and would never turn back.

Wei Cong paused in frustration, thinking for a moment, and looked at the maid who was leading the way beside him, her head lowered more and more, her face getting redder and redder. Wei Cong sighed, "Who is this beauty? How come there is such a beauty in Lu Sanlang's family?"

The maid held her breath for a long time, not daring to deceive the general, and only said vaguely: "Since it is Sanlang's yard, who else could it be?"

Wei Cong was shocked. That stunning beauty could not be Lady Luo. Lady Luo was not that tall, and she was strong enough to hold another person... The maid thought she had hinted at the answer to Wei Cong, but she did not expect that the general was shocked and said in astonishment: "Lu Sanlang is so brave! How dare he hide such a beauty in his own house!"

maid:"……"

Then the general of Wei said in anger: "How can he do this? Isn't it enough for him to have Lady Luo? Is he planning to collect all the beauties in the world? Doesn't he leave other men a chance to survive? Even if she is beautiful, she can't do this."

The maid was speechless as she watched the Wei general collapse.

…

General Wei did not see Lu Sanlang that night. He could not accept that Lu Sanlang had hidden a beauty in his house, and left in despair. In the next few days, when he saw Lu Sanlang again, Wei Cong asked him indirectly, but Lu Yun avoided answering and refused to admit that he had a collection of beauties.

Wei Cong went to Luo Lingyu again to inquire about the situation. After all, he was acquainted with Luo Lingyu and was afraid that the beautiful girl Luo had been deceived by Lu Sanlang.

Luo Lingyu's reaction was even stranger.

The girl lowered her head, her shoulders shaking violently, her voice hoarse from holding back: "I know... Chen Xue... is not an outsider. General, don't think too much, my third cousin didn't lie to me."

Wei Cong was stunned for a moment, then said infatuatedly: Chen Xue... Just hearing the name, I know she is a beauty.

…

Lu Yun didn't pay much attention to these trivial matters. After he recovered from his injury, he began to handle government affairs and asked more about the peace talks between the two countries. Lu Sanlang was quite sharp and had always been able to see the big picture from the small details. With such a superior, the subordinates had to be extremely alert when doing things, for fear that this gentleman would see through their replies.

But some people are not convinced by Lu Saburo's reputation.

I think that Lu Saburo only relies on his family background, and others in his position may not be worse than him.

This man was the peace negotiator sent by the court, named Han Mingzi. Han Mingzi only needed to cooperate with Lu Sanlang to negotiate an agreement between the two countries. After Lu Sanlang returned to Jianye, the governor of this state would be his. When Lu Sanlang was ill, the peace talks were progressing well. One day, Lu Sanlang suddenly asked him to take the detailed files, and Han Mingzi was full of confidence.

In the dormitory, Lu Saburo looked through the records of several negotiations that he had made and listened to Han Mingzi's talk.

Han Mingzi said: "We fought with the Northern Kingdom for half a month to get these conditions. If you think there is no problem, you can report it to His Majesty and let His Majesty make the final decision..."

Lu Yun suddenly interrupted: "Why send Ruyang to the North?"

Han Mingzi still smiled and said, "The North Country paid back the money..."

Lu Yun: "If I remember correctly, the court issued a new decree this year. Except for Ruyang, the counties involved in this war, Yingchuan, Nanyang, etc., were merged with neighboring counties and incorporated into the territory of the next state. That state is under the name of King Zhao."

Han Mingzi's face changed slightly: How come Lu Saburo's memory is so good? The changes in the prefectures and counties were so complicated, and the merger of prefectures and counties was just an insignificant change. Lu Saburo was still sick... He could actually remember it?

Seeing Lu Yun raise his eyes, he glanced at him and said, "Hmm, you are from King Zhao? King Zhao sent you to negotiate, and he must have spent a lot of effort in the court, right?"
