"So..." A clear tear streaked across Shen Ruoyan's cheek and dropped on Lu Yan's neck, "Don't hate her, okay?"

What answered her was that Lu Yan tightened his arms and held Shen Ruoyan tightly in his arms.

"Ayan, thank you."

Thank you for telling me this.

Thank you for being with my mother during her most lonely and suffering years.

After confirming Lu Yan's attitude, a big stone in Shen Ruoyan's heart finally fell to the ground.

However, before they could get ready and set off, bad news came.

The fifth prince finally couldn't hold it any longer and led an army to attack the imperial city.

The emperor has been in power for so many years, so naturally he will not let his son take over the throne so easily and send elites to fight against him.

The war became more and more intense, and the major families who originally wanted to stay out of the war had to choose sides.

Those who support the fifth prince and the royalists are at odds with each other, each wanting to perform well in the chaos. When the overall situation is settled in the future, they will definitely gain a lot of benefits.

As more and more forces came to the end, most of Daning was caught in the flames of war.

The northern border where Shen Ruoyan and Lu Yan were located was not affected by the war because it was far away from the capital.

However, Shen Ruoyan still keenly noticed that the faces of pedestrians on the road were becoming more serious day by day.

That night, a low horn sounded outside the city.

Shen Ruoyan opened her eyes suddenly and saw that Lu Yan was already one step ahead of her, putting on his clothes and getting up.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Shen Ruoyan realized something bad had happened and asked worriedly.

While Lu Yan was getting dressed, he explained very calmly: "The Beidi people are attacking."

Shen Ruoyan couldn't help but say "ah" and her whole body tensed up.

Suddenly, all the sleepyheads in my mind were driven away.

"I will take people out to meet them." Lu Yan put on his armor skillfully and warned Shen Ruoyan, "Ayan, you are right here, don't run around."

Lu Yan had long expected that the Beidi people would take advantage of the civil strife in Daning to take advantage of the situation, so he led his troops to guard this northernmost town among the thirteen cities in the north.

However, I originally thought that the Beidi people would at least wait for the weather to get warmer and the wind and snow to stop before taking action, but I didn't expect that they would attack so eagerly.

Shen Ruoyan also got out of bed and helped Lu Yan put on his armor.

The armor was so thick that Shen Ruoyan had to use both hands to lift the pair of arm guards.

The candlelight shines on the silver armor, and the metal surface shines with a subtle luster, making the hard and cold armor show a completely opposite warmth.

Shen Ruoyan covered Lu Yan's arm with the armband, and wrapped the strap around his arm in circles.

Neither of them spoke.

A gentle sigh seemed particularly clear in the silence of the room.

Shen Ruoyan had never experienced the war so clearly before her eyes, and her hands trembled uncontrollably.

She knew that Lu Yan was highly skilled in martial arts, but the sword had no eyesight on the battlefield. This time she faced the ferocious and insidious Beidi people. What if Lu Yan was attacked by someone?

Shen Ruoyan bit her lip and told herself not to think wildly.

He quickly helped Lu Yan put on his equipment. The two of them had no time to spend time together. Lu Yan opened the door, and darkness mixed with cold air broke into the room.

Lu Yan walked a few steps and suddenly looked back at Shen Ruoyan.

That look was full of determination and determination.

It is also full of tenderness and warmth.

He knew that when he went this time, he was facing an unknown that was full of death threats.

Possibly a triumphant return.

It may also be a separation of life and death.

Shen Ruoyan stood at the door and smiled at Lu Yan.

Behind her was a warm light.

Lu Yan patted her shoulder, indicating that he would do his best to protect himself and return to her.

Several soldiers also wearing armor gathered around, and Lu Yan and them trotted and disappeared into the night.

Not long after, things started to get lively outside the door.

The neighing of horses and the sound of bugles were mixed with the sound of footsteps, and then gradually became quiet again.

Shen Ruoyan sat on the chair, her heart beating loudly as she listened to the sound of horse hooves fading away.

In the quiet night, apart from the whistling wind, the faint sound of fighting with weapons outside the city could be heard all night long, and it didn't stop until dawn.

After waiting for the news from the front for a long time, Shen Ruoyan still couldn't sit still, but thinking of Lu Yan's instructions before leaving, she could only pace back and forth in the room anxiously.

After an unknown amount of time, the door was finally pushed open again.

Shen Ruoyan looked back.

I saw a tired man standing under the light of the setting sun.

The armor on his body had obviously been cleaned, and there were still blood stains on it.

Shen Ruoyan ran over quickly, "Where...are you injured?"

Lu Yan shook his head, picked up the teapot on the table, and poured it directly into his mouth.

After drinking a whole pot of tea, Lu Yan's voice was still a little hoarse, "Ayan, I'm fine. I'll come back to say hello to you."

Lu Yan knew that if he sent someone to tell Shen Ruoyan that she was fine, she would definitely feel uneasy, so he had to come over in person and let her see with her own eyes so that she could feel at ease.

"I still have things to deal with, take care of yourself, don't wait for me." Lu Yan wanted to pat Shen Ruoyan's head as usual, but realized the smell of blood on his hands, and his arms froze in place.

"Leave me alone and get down to business." After making sure that Lu Yan was safe, Shen Ruoyan was relieved and said in a clear and general tone.

After Lu Yan left, Shen Ruoyan found someone and learned that although the Beidi people were successfully driven back this time, our casualties were also very heavy.

“Where are those soldiers placed?

Are there enough medicinal materials and manpower? "Shen Ruoyan asked.

The man shook his head, "Our northern border is no better than other places, especially in this weather. It is impossible to set up camp outside. There are too many people injured this time, and there is no place for treatment."

Shen Ruoyan said decisively to the man: "Go find a few people, find wealthy families in the city, and ask them if they are willing to provide temporary housing for the injured?"

The man knew that this woman was someone whom Lord Le Wu valued very much, and Shen Ruoyan had the aura of a superior person, so he obeyed her words.

He immediately took the order and went to find someone.

Shen Ruoyan gathered the cloak around her body, thankful that she had experienced the plague in Zhoucheng and had some experience in treatment work.

Many methods from that time can be used here.

Even though Shen Ruoyan was well prepared, when she saw the wounded, she couldn't help but feel nauseated and almost vomited.

Someone's arm was cut off, and the white bones mixed with bloody flesh leaked out;

Someone was stabbed in the stomach, with half of his intestines hanging out from his abdomen;

Standing in the midst of mourning, the strong smell of blood rushed straight into Shen Ruoyan's nose.
