Lu Yan persistently fed the porridge into Shen Ruoyan's mouth, and analyzed: "Beidi people are greedy by nature. If we make any concessions, they will become more unscrupulous like locusts after seeing blood. .

I'm worried...I'm afraid that once this opening is opened, it will become even more unstoppable. "

Shen Ruoyan nodded in agreement, but she still couldn't help but worry about the situation in front of her.

Shen Ruoyan had heard the story of a last-ditch battle countless times. Every time, Shen Ruoyan was always inspired by the fearlessness of the soldiers.

But now, with this situation clearly in front of her, Shen Ruoyan truly understood that with a shortage of soldiers and food, low morale, and facing the risk of losing their lives at any time, everyone's hearts were actually filled with too much helplessness.

However, they cannot retreat.

If even they retreated and the Beidi people took advantage of the opportunity to attack, Daning would be on the verge of collapse, and the ordinary people would still suffer.

Regardless of life or death,

Isn't this the meaning of a last-ditch battle?

Lu Yan seemed to be able to see Shen Ruoyan's thoughts, and said tacitly: "Don't retreat.

This is the land that my father managed to hold on to back then. We...

Don’t retreat! "

"Yeah." Shen Ruoyan responded and rested her head on Lu Yan's shoulder.

Compared to her previous life, she had gained enough. If she could die here, her life would not be in vain.

I couldn't help but think of Lu Yan's mother.

In Sister Fairy's memories, she and her young general were also guarding each other in the flames of war in the north. I wonder if the situation faced by General Lu and Sister Fairy back then was as difficult as they are now?

"Lu Yan..." Shen Ruoyan murmured. Before she could say anything, the war drums outside sounded.

Lu Yan's expression changed, he quickly stood up and picked up the sword placed aside.

Shen Ruoyan's heart was beating fast, and a bad feeling enveloped her heart, as if Lu Yan would never be seen again if he left.

"Lu Yan!" Shen Ruoyan called to the man who was about to walk out.

Lu Yan stopped, as if he knew that he might be facing a life-or-death separation.

Looking back, a tired but warm smile curled up on his lips.

"Ayan." Looking at his beloved woman, Lu Yan couldn't help but have a layer of mist in his eyes, "Stay here and don't go anywhere."

Shen Ruoyan rushed over in a few steps and gave him a big hug.

The two hugged each other vigorously, as if they wanted to merge each other into their own flesh and blood.

The sound of war drums.

The two were forced to separate.

Shen Ruoyan hugged Lu Yan's neck lovingly, and whispered in his ear: "Waiting for you to come back."

Lu Yan patted her head, took a deep look at Shen Ruoyan, turned around and left quickly.

Looking at the half-heated bowl of white porridge on the table, Shen Ruoyan seemed to have been drained of strength, her legs were weak, and she could only sit down holding on to the edge of the table.

Remind yourself not to cry.

The worst-case scenario is death. It's not like I haven't died before, so there's nothing to be afraid of.

However, the parting came too suddenly.

She still had many things she wanted to say to Lu Yan.

With an uneasy mood, Shen Ruoyanku sat in the room, listening to the sounds of fighting in the distance.

The sound of metal colliding was like a knife stabbing her heart, but she had no choice but to sit quietly in the room and pray silently for the soldiers on the front line.

The candles burned out, and a faint ray of skylight came through the window edges.

The fighting outside has not stopped yet. It seems that the Beidi people have made a decision this time and will not give up until the city gate is breached.

Shen Ruoyan clenched her fists and her mind went blank.

After an unknown amount of time, the door was opened.

Shen Ruoyan's eyelashes trembled, and she looked towards the door expectantly, but she didn't see the person she longed for.

The person coming was the guard who had been with Lu Yan all year round.

Shen Ruoyan seemed to have expected something, and her heart sank suddenly.

The man clasped his fists and said to Shen Ruoyan, "Young madam, I'm offended."

Before he could take action, Shen Ruoyan's face turned cold and she said in a deep voice: "Back off!"

The man did not expect her to react like this and was stunned for a moment. However, thinking of the death order given to him by the Young Pavilion Master, he still stepped forward and walked towards Shen Ruoyan.

Shen Ruoyan knew that the other party's arrival meant that the situation was already very critical.

He was here to escort him away.

Lu Yan was still reluctant to let her die with him.

Seeing the guards approaching her, Shen Ruoyan was anxious. Suddenly, she had an idea, took out a jade plaque, and shouted loudly: "Do you recognize this?"

This jade tablet is an order from the master of Tianyan Pavilion.

Knowing that Shen Ruoyan was coming to the north to look for Lu Yan, Lu Yan's grandfather gave this jade plaque to Shen Ruoyan.

Shen Ruoyan naturally knew how valuable this thing was, and she refused to accept it at first.

The old pavilion master shook his finger affectionately and said nonchalantly: "Girl, aren't I afraid that boy will bully you?

If he dares not to listen to you, take out this token.

The Young Pavilion Master, after all, is not a member of our Tianyan Pavilion. As long as he still recognizes me as grandpa and knows that he is from Tianyan Pavilion, he has to obey this token.

Now I officially pass on the position of Pavilion Master to you.

If that kid Lu Yan dares not to listen to you, you will use your identity as the pavilion master to suppress him.

When the time comes, if you ask him to go east, he will never dare to go west. "

At that time, grandpa just wanted to give Shen Ruoyan some confidence, but unexpectedly it would come in handy this time.

When the other party saw the jade sign, he quickly knelt on the ground.

Shen Ruoyan calmed down and asked, "What's wrong with Lu Yan?"

The man wiped the blood on his face, choked with sobs and said, "Young Pavilion Master..."

The man who had been licking blood from the edge of his knife for many years finally couldn't bear to tell the truth, so he just said firmly: "Young Pavilion Master asked his subordinates to send you away."

Shen Ruoyan gritted her teeth to prevent the tears from falling from her eyes, and asked directly: "Is he seriously injured?"

Unless it was absolutely necessary, Lu Yan would not break his vow to himself and have her taken away.

The man also had a hard temper and would not even tell Shen Ruoyan about Lu Yan's situation.

Seeing him about to get up, Shen Ruoyan raised the jade sign in her hand, put on the air of a pavilion master and said, "I order you to take me to see him."

No matter what, Shen Ruoyan wanted to see Lu Yan again before she died.

The guard maintained his original movements and knelt motionless.

"What? You want to disobey the Pavilion Master's order?" Shen Ruoyan increased her voice and asked in a deep voice, "Forget it, just kneel here, I will go find him myself!"

Naturally, the guard would not let Shen Ruoyan take this risk. He took a few steps on his knees and persuaded: "Young madam! Let my subordinates send you away!"

Shen Ruoyan smiled miserably.
