Raiders the heroine

In July of the fifth year of Jingwen, the weather was not as hot as in previous years.In the afternoon of summer, when the cool breeze picked up, in the small pavilion by the lake of the General's Mansion, there were sitting two chatting and laughing women, one dignified and graceful, the other delicate and lovely, the two formed a landscape by the lake.

"Wanbai, when will you be able to eat your lotus seeds? I have been waiting too hard for your sweet-scented osmanthus and lotus seeds soup!"

Su Wanbai is obviously very familiar with this person. After hearing this, she made a joke: "Although it is early this summer, I heard that Jianning's white lotus was sent to the palace early. Food, but it’s too far away.”

Su Wanbai has a steady personality, and she would never hear her witty words, but Luo Ruan looked puzzled and entangled her intimately.

"The lotus seed soup made by Wanbai is the best in the world. You can't eat such a good thing in the palace. How can you say that you are looking for far away. Or—" Luo Ruan hung on Su Wanbai, deliberately elongating his tone, with a face on his face. With a malicious smile, "Now that you are the general's wife, the general is reluctant to let you cook!"

Su Wanbai wanted to cover her mouth again, but it was too late.

"Ah Ruan, you are talking nonsense again!" She was thin-skinned, and her fair face was flushed, but she still had the usual sophistication.

"I'm not talking nonsense, I'm obviously telling the truth!" Luo Ruan succeeded in his trick, and leaned forward and backward with a smile, so unhappy.

……

When Lu Lin came back from the palace, when he heard the laughter from afar, he knew that it must be his little wife who hadn't been favored by that eccentric princess.

His stern eyebrows softened unconsciously, and he strode towards the small pavilion to "support" his wife.

"Ah! Brother Lu is back!"

Luo Ruan's sharp eyes saw Lu Lin walking this way from afar.

Su Wanbai ignored the embarrassment, and quickly raised her head to look in the direction Luo Ruan said.

After seeing the familiar figure, the surprise on her face could no longer be concealed, "Really, why did you come back so early today!"

Lu Lin had long legs, and he stepped in front of them while they were talking.

He greeted Luo Ruan, and then took the cloak from the servant and tied it on Su Wanbai very naturally, "It's cool today, I heard that you and the princess are here."

The redness on Su Wanbai's face didn't fade, and the tide surged up again. She refused, but she could only whisper: "Ah Ruan is still here!"

Lu Lin raised his eyebrows, meaning so what, he didn't even pause for a moment with the movements of his hands.

The expression on Luo Ruan's face could no longer bear to look directly at it.

She knew that the two had a good relationship, so she naturally didn't want to stay and be a light bulb, so she said goodbye and was about to run away.

"Why are you so anxious, let's stay and eat before leaving." Seeing this, Su Wanbai hurriedly asked her to stay.

"No, Brother Huang called me back to the palace for dinner!" By the time the words reached their ears, they had already been heard from afar.

Su Wanbai laughed when she saw her in such a hurry.

"After so many years, Ah Ruan hasn't changed at all."

Lu Lin didn't answer, his eyes deepened as he watched Luo Ruan's disappearing back.

Su Wanbai had a tacit understanding with him, she looked back and her heart moved slightly.

"But there's news from Ah Ruo again."

She asked this question nervously, Lu Lin squeezed a pair of slightly cool little hands into his palms, and replied in a deep voice: "The emperor said today that Ah Ruo will lead the army back to Beijing in a few days, and he should be on the way now." gone."

"The border is bitterly cold, Ah Ruo should have come back long ago." After she finished speaking, she couldn't help feeling worried again, "We have kept this secret from Ah Ruan for so long, and we don't know whether it is good or bad..."

It is said that it has not changed at all, but how is it possible, Su Wanbai understands that time has left some indelible marks on her body from the moment when the princess yelled and was unable to recover from the silence.

Lu Lin took Su Wanbai's hand and rubbed it gently, his tone was rarely soft and gentle, "Ah Ruo must have made her own decision when she came back this time, and let her handle it by herself."

Su Wanbai nodded in agreement, with relief in her words: "I should also trust Ah Ruan."

……

Three years ago, not long after Prince Duan defected from Beijing, an extremely young and brave general suddenly appeared out of nowhere and led an army to suppress all the rebels. All the people were wiped out.

When the Holy Majesty heard the good news for the first time, he sighed three times in succession.Afterwards, Shengshang resisted all the opinions of the court and named him General Chariot and Cavalry.Second only to Lu Lin, Ji Ling rushed to the border on the same day, setting off huge waves in Beijing.

Until recently, there have been many reports in Beijing and China, saying that the mysterious young flying general Du Jiuge finally wants to return to court as a teacher!

All of a sudden, various rumors arose in the capital, and they were repeated repeatedly.

……

As early as the beginning of July, it was reported that there was a drought in Yuzhou, and the emperor took the lead in reducing the food and clothing expenses in the palace by setting an example.

Therefore, before the wind washing feast even started, the palace became lively ahead of time.

A few days later, the army returned to the court, and the people surrounded the streets with water, and the alleys were empty.

A few days later, in Linglong Pavilion, a woman was quietly sitting alone in an elegant seat by the window.

This woman looked young, but her aura was quite astonishing. At this time, she was listening to the drinkers' compliments on the young general who turned out to be born.

On the day of the Dust Cleaning Banquet, she happened to sleep in the palace for a whole day, so she didn't see this young general who had just risen to fame.

But after all, it was rumored that three people became tigers, and Luo Ruan couldn't help but find it really amusing to see people in the capital bragging about this person as a heavenly official who served the lower realm.

She couldn't help laughing at herself, suddenly she saw a touch of emerald green tough bamboo walking slowly not far or near.

Luo Ruan looked up, and it turned out to be Su Wanbai's brother, Su Nianqing.

He was dressed in a green shirt, with a tall and straight figure, and an indescribably warm demeanor.And because of the mediation in the court for the past two years, there is an unyielding physique in every gesture, and he is really like a bamboo jade, like a carving.

Naturally, Su Nianqing had already seen the person by the window.

"Brother Su, sit here." Luo Ruan beckoned him over with a smile.

"Ah Ruan." Su Nianqing walked over with a smile, and among the many admiring gazes around him, no one could see that his steps were two points faster quietly.

"What a coincidence, how could I be willing to come out today."

Luo Ruan didn't care about his teasing, but warmly greeted Xiao Er to add another serving of bowls and chopsticks, revealing the familiarity between the two in every move.

"It's hot, it's so boring to lie in the palace, and I come out to drink herbal tea. It's you, it's rare to take a rest, why don't you take a good rest at home, what are you doing out there?"

Su Nianqing lightly clasped the hem of her clothes, and sat down opposite Luo Ruan, "Why are you here, and why am I here?"

Luo Ruan smiled and raised the teacup to him, "Respect your friends with tea."

After drinking the herbal tea, she continued, "How is the drought in Yuzhou recently?"

Su Nianqing put down the teacups at the same time as her, with a serious expression on his face: "The Holy Majesty has sent people to Yuzhou this morning, but the severe drought has not yet subsided, and floods have reappeared in the Gusu area, causing serious damage to the crops."

"There's such a thing!" Luo Ruan sat up straight, no longer as comfortable as before.

"More than that." Su Nianqing looked out the window, his eyes full of worry, "I heard that the heavy rain came suddenly, destroying the city, the government and more than a thousand houses, trees in the mountains and forests were broken, and the livestock were even damaged."

Luo Ruan wanted to ask more details, but it was just an important matter in the court, and as a member of the harem, she didn't want to ask more.

"It's what I can't do."

The atmosphere between the two of them was not as relaxed as it was at the beginning, Su Nianqing came back to his senses and saw the sad look on the princess's face, feeling somewhat regretful.

His eyes secretly turned to Luo Ruan's face, and he said softly: "It is a great fortune for the country to worry about the people, let alone..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden noise on the first floor, which covered the words behind him.

"what happened??"

Luo Ruan turned her head and found that the diners on the second floor were looking at each other, obviously not knowing what happened.

"Go and see what happened downstairs."

Xiaoer received the order, and hurriedly bowed to Su Nianqing, "Your lord, wait for a moment, and the villain will go back as soon as he goes."

Xiao Er walked like the wind, and soon came back with news.

"You said it was General Du who came."

"Indeed."

"That's really a coincidence. I haven't met this general yet. When he comes up later, I'll treat him to a cup of spring breeze." Luo Ruan was surprised to meet this person here today, so he was depressed. His mood was swept away, and he felt anticipation.

Seeing this, Xiao Er went down very cleverly to prepare.

"Little General Du is a talented young man, indeed extraordinary." Su Nianqing had met him at the celebration banquet before, but for some reason the two had never met, but he always felt that this person had a faint familiarity.

The noise became louder and louder, and when the diners on the second floor couldn't sit still, Luo Ruan finally came out of the stairs and saw someone slowly appearing in her line of sight.

After the face of the visitor appeared in her line of sight, she couldn't hold back the smile on her lips anymore, and with a "bang", fragments of the teacup flew all over the ground.

The rumors were indeed true. The young general had bright eyebrows, a heroic appearance, and a frosty face.The body is thin and tough, as if coming through the sky.Although his face was slightly delicate, it couldn't hide the murderous and resolute aura on his body.

If it was a normal day, Luo Ruan would have to praise him for being a cold handsome guy!

But at this moment, this face - is clearly the sister she has been thinking about day and night for three years? !

what is the problem? !

Su Nianqing didn't know what happened next to her, and stretched out five fingers in front of her anxiously to bring her back to her senses.

"Ah Ruan?? Ah Ruan? What's wrong with you?!" For no reason, a deep feeling of badness suddenly appeared in his heart.

Luo Ruan stared at the little general Du who hadn't looked at her from the beginning to the end, and said tremblingly: "System, is it... Is my sister back..."

[Yes... yes, host. 】

After getting the system's affirmative answer, Luo Ruan was both happy and sad, and didn't dare to go forward at all while hesitating.

Perhaps her gaze was too intense, and the people who followed Du Ruo glanced at her, and then whispered something in Du Ruo's ear.

Luo Ruan didn't miss this detail, her heart almost jumped out of her chest, a huge emotion enveloped her whole body, and she simply didn't know what happened.

After this person finished speaking, Du Ruo looked at her as expected.

Luo Ruan didn't dare to move his head.

Du Ruo turned her head to look over, as if treating any stranger, without any emotion in her eyes, and turned her eyes back without hesitation after one glance.

With a sound of "dong", Luo Ruan's heart fell into the abyss.
