I didn't stop much along the way.

After Mu Ran fell asleep that night, Lu Chuan whispered a few words with the qin, and then went back to the room with the guy in his arms.

When Mu Ran woke up in a daze the next day, it was a bumpy ride in the carriage. After days of tiring travel, when the group arrived in the South China Sea, Mu Ran lost three pounds.

"Wait a minute...... How...... Don't you see the sea?" Mu Ran yawned, staring at an empty city in front of him, and his face was even more strange.

However, the eyes of others looked at him more and more strangely.

"Can you eat a wife by eating wife cakes?" Li Changan shook his head and walked over, his hands behind his back, completely hating iron but not steel.

"So isn't the South China Sea the sea?" Mu Ran opened his mouth, feeling that he might have opened the door to a new world.

However, everyone laughed very unkindly.

"Oh, if you stand on top of this tower, you can see the South China Sea in the distance. Lu Chuan couldn't help but chuckle, gently rubbed Mu Ran's soft hair, and hugged him into the city, "The South China Sea is also a rich land, and the people will not drift on the sea, they will always settle down on the ground." ”

On the side of the South China Sea, there is the prosperous Gangneung City, which is rich in things and people, and it is the only place for the people to live and work in peace and contentment.

However, after the death of the old city lord, the new city lord Yang Jian was greedy and cruel, not only harsh on taxes and miscellaneous taxes, but also took the South China Sea outside the Gangneung City embankment as his own, and imposed high taxes on ships.

However, the South China Sea is the main road for traffic, and the Gangneung Port outside Gangneung City is wide and deep. The hub of many trunk roads, Yang Jian relied on himself to be a generation of city lords, and he did evil. After only half a year, Gangneung City has lost its former scenery, and not many merchant ships dare to pass through this sea area again.

Yang Jian was greedy by nature, and seeing countless gold and silver tickets draining from his eyes, he was willing to give up.

Since the road of commerce and trade was blocked by him, Yang Jian had tens of thousands of elite soldiers who were good at naval warfare. He was no longer satisfied with the small territory of the South China Sea, and if he could snatch the position of the lord of several nearby small cities, he would be able to live happily for a few more years.

Although Yang Jian is greedy. But he also has his means, otherwise he would not have succeeded in expanding his territory in the midst of the people's misery, and at this point, his true ambition is to be a man.

Where is he willing to be the little city lord of this side. He's taking it one step at a time. I want to swallow this great country!

However, Yang Jian forgot that he was just a businessman after all, and when he first collected taxes, the government and the opposition only treated him as a humble merchant eunuch Yang Jian, stupidly trying to raise tariffs, and finally reaping the consequences, and would stop. I don't want this ignorant guy to use the South China Sea Talisman. Trying to carve up this huge country.

Emperor Da, I don't know what temper you have!

In short, once the court learned the news. You won't sit still.

And it was because of this that Lu Chuan was ordered to go to the South China Sea.

Today's Gangneung City is already in a mess, the city gate is dilapidated, sparsely populated, like a withered old man, as far as the eye can see, Mu Ran can hardly imagine that this was once a rich city comparable to the imperial capital.

Fortunately, Yang Jian was stubborn and self-serving, and after occupying the neighboring city, because the people of Jiangling City left one after another, it was no longer as prosperous as it was back then, so he abandoned his own city and entered the neighboring city.

I didn't want to, but because of this, I gave General Bai, who was one step ahead, a chance to set up camp.

By the time Yang Jian found out that Jiangling City had been occupied by General Bai Yebai, it was already too late. He immediately sneered, his sword eyebrows were raised angrily, and the cold light was cold, "Bai Ye is really bold! Heh, it's just a ruined city, he will take it, I want to see, if he knows that I have more than these tens of thousands of elite soldiers in my hands, how scared he should be!"

After saying that, Yang Jian laughed loudly, and after the laughter, a figure slowly stepped out.

The corner of the man's mouth hooked a light smile on the face of the spring breeze, "What the city lord said is very true. ”

"Ahh

Lu Chuan took advantage of the situation and hugged Mu Ran into his arms, and his willow eyebrows frowned slightly, "There is no shelter on the city wall, in the Jiangling area, the weather is already changeable, go back." ”

"......" Mu Ran originally wanted to say that rubbing Lord Lin's chest was still quite warm, but when he heard Lu Chuan say this, he rubbed it, squinted his eyes comfortably, and said lazily, "It's not cold this way!"

"Huh. Lu Chuan smiled helplessly, and hugged Mu Ran tighter.

"I haven't seen a battle yet, I heard that General Bai led 50,000 infantry and 30,000 cavalry, despite this, this is Yang Jian's territory, we are landlubbers at most, can we do it?" Mu Ran's heart was a little drumming, and what he was more and more puzzled about was that they had not experienced any waves along the way.

Mu Ran, "......"

The master passed the book on the flying pigeon, and Mu Ran suddenly knew how dangerous the task was this time.

Sure enough, this time, he wants to personally command and defeat Yang Jian, wait a minute...... Personally commanded?

Mu Ran was taken aback, please, although he is an offensive and defensive commander, he has no actual combat experience at all! Not to mention that reality is not as good as a game, and there is no big light skill that can make them fly around at various points!

Mu Ran suddenly felt a little panicked.

"Don't be afraid, I'll help you. However, a faint voice came from above his head, Mu Ran raised his eyes, and the deep eyes of Shanglu Chuan were like vast stars, and he was already in them, unable to extricate himself.

Mu Ran finally realized that it seemed that Lu Chuan would always be able to think what was in his heart.

And just like his dark eyes, Mu Ran never understood what Lu Chuan was thinking, if he didn't speak, he wouldn't even understand Lu Chuan's joys, sorrows, and sorrows.

His expression was slightly stunned, and at that moment, Mu Ran had an indescribably complicated look on his face.

"Alright, let's go back. Lu Chuan seemed to sigh lightly, and said lightly, but he quietly carried Mu Ran in his hand and pulled him away.

Mu Ran's face sank even more. It was only because when he touched the coldness of Lu Chuan's palm that he finally realized such an unprecedented feeling. It's called restlessness.

It's just that he doesn't understand where such uneasiness comes from.

Although the panic in his heart was quickly covered by Lu Chuan's meticulous kiss, and after a night of tossing, he woke up again, and there was no figure of Lord Lin by his side.

In the past few days, Lu Chuan's expression has not been as relaxed as before.

Others are even more. In the remote and dark room, when Mu Ran sneaked in, he could often see the solemn faces of Lu Chuan, Bai Ye and Tang Yan. Mu Ran was always confused when he arranged the troops, and the map on the table dazzled his eyes, and Mu Ran couldn't see why.

This time, he suddenly felt a little dread about the task.

It's not because of the difficulty of the mission itself, it's just that I don't know how long this battle will last. What it brings is inevitably the people's livelihood. The lives were devastated, the attack and defense of 400 people was enough to make him breathless, but the grand battle of these tens of thousands of people brought real casualties, and the lives of these tens of thousands of people were entrusted to his own hands, Mu Ran was really frightened.

Even though he was in the clouds, the chaos of the map, and the chaos of tactics, his eyes were tingling. The brain is even more painful, but despite this. But he still held on to his spirits and listened to the three people in front of him express their opinions.

Tang Yan brought the tea, "Mu Ran, go back and rest." ”

When she said this, she naturally saw Mu Ran's exhaustion.

"Ahem, Mu Ran Gongzi, the art of marching is harsh and redundant, you better rest early. Bai Ye frowned, and said loudly, he is a hussar general who has guarded the border for many years, and at this moment the three of them are discussing this combat technique, but this son called Mu Ran is drowsy on the side, he is angry in his heart, but he has not spoken in the face of Lu Chuan.

Hearing Tang Yan say this, Bai Ye's anger was also hooked, and he was even more panting when he shouted angrily, it seemed that he had indeed been suppressed for a long time.

Mu Ran's face turned pale, he woke up from the chaos, and stood up straight all of a sudden.

He didn't look at Lu Chuan's inquiring eyes, but instead looked directly at the deep pupils of the white night, and met his angry eyes with a hard head.

He knew in his heart that General Bai was just a man of Lu Chuan, and he couldn't get used to seeing himself tired of being by Lu Chuan's side, after all, this battle was not child's play.

However, I'm afraid only Mu Ran himself knows how much he cares about this first battle.

"I ......" The hands hidden in the sleeves clenched, Mu Ran took a deep breath, and when he spoke, his voice was unprecedentedly determined, "The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, and I can also give advice." ”

"What did you say?" As soon as the words fell, Bai Ye laughed loudly, his tall body approached Mu Ran, and when he lowered his head, he grabbed Mu Ran's collar, Bai Ye's figure was great, much taller than Lu Chuan, Mu Ran was forced to stand on tiptoe slightly, raised his eyes, and looked at the indifference in Bai Ye's eyes.

"I said I knew this battle, how to fight. Mu Ran gritted his teeth, word by word, word by word.

"Then you should talk about it!" Bai Ye's tone became more and more disdainful, and after he finished speaking, he let go of his hand.

Mu Ran stumbled, and without waiting for Lu Chuan's hand to reach out, he stabilized his body first.

The map was still chaotic as before, and Mu Ran could roughly see the location and direction of the enemy and friendly forces, and he held his breath, closed his eyes, and pondered for a long time.

The fog in his mind slowly dissipated, the trend gradually became clearer, and the corners of Mu Ran's mouth pulled out a bright smile.

Pregnant.

"Lu Chuan?" Between the staggered plans, Yang Jian was holding a delicate white jade wine glass in his right hand, and he was squinting slightly pleasantly, but in those dark eyes, there was a piercing murderous aura, "Is that Lord Lin who is invincible, and the current saint has to give three points?" Heh, I'll take a look, what kind of ability does that Lu Chuan have!"

"Lord Lin, together with the hussar general Bai Ye and the daughter of the governor, General Tang Yan, were stationed in Jiangling City, leading 50,000 infantry and 30,000 cavalry, and now they are eyeing the tiger, it seems that the plan is to dredge the Jiangling Port in the South China Sea first, strike first, and obtain the right to occupy the South China Sea. It was Huang Guan, the strategist beside Yang Jian, who spoke.

As a military advisor, Huang Guan has ambition and strategy, Yang Jian is eight feet long, although he is a businessman, he is actually fierce, but although he is ruthless and violent, he is not as broad as Huang Guan's vision, nor as resourceful as him, he can avoid the eyes of the imperial court at the fastest speed and take the four cities around Jiangling City, I have to say. is still because of Huang Guan's credit.

"What? Gangneung Port, he is so bold, but he is only 80,000 horses. Did he underestimate our navy, or overestimate his useless!" Yang Jian snorted coldly, but smashed the cup in his hand, it was the time of Shengge, with his crisp sound, the surrounding people were shocked, and at this time, they knelt on the ground on the spot. Kowtow with his head down, and he didn't dare to make a sound.

"Why bother. Huang Guan saw Yang Jian's mind clearly, he had not experienced any strong winds and waves. Thinking that everything was within reach, at this time, a Lu Chuan and 80,000 reinforcements suddenly appeared, although he had already known that the imperial court would not ignore what they did, Yang Jian sneered at it. On the face, he was still afraid of Lu Chuan.

The corners of Huang Guan's mouth pulled out a helpless smile. After thinking about it, he still handed the cup in his hand again, "You have 30,000 navy in your hand, you are good at waterways, you are 300,000 infantry and cavalry, you are afraid that it is not a problem, but now it is only 80,000 army, so why do you care?"

Huang Guan's words still have some effect. Yang Jian was angry, and still took the wine glass in Huang Guan's hand. Drink it all.

"What's more, now you just use this opportunity to greatly demoralize Lu Chuan, and also take advantage of this to let the court know your temper, now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, the court is unstable, and they themselves are too busy to take care of themselves, this is a good opportunity to occupy the land as the king. Huang Guan saw that Yang Jian was gradually calming down, so he continued to speak.

Yang Jian heard Huang Guan mention this, his eyes moved, he burped, and patted Huang Guan's right shoulder with satisfaction, "Huang Guan, I know that if the matter is handed over to you, I can naturally sit back and relax!" ”

"Don't call me Lord Yang, we are all brothers!" Yang Jian thought that he was really drunk, the flush slowly spread, and the look in his eyes gradually became foggy, his heavy body pressed on Huang Guan's thin shoulders, but Huang Guan did not frown but pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, patting Yang Jian's back, with an untouchable look in his eyes.

He seemed to open his lips and whispered a few words in Yang Jian's ear, but in the end, he just called a few guards to carry the drunk Yang Jian out, watching Yang Jian's back slowly disappear into his field of vision, Huang Guan shook his head.

However, he didn't want him to turn around, and when he saw the man in front of him clearly, his expression was stunned, and his face showed a little anger.

"You don't believe me?" the man smiled with a spring breeze on his face, although this was a question, he said it lightly, and his tone was like a gentle breeze, which made people feel close for no reason.

Although Huang Guan frowned, his eyes were complicated.

"Huh. He sneered, said nothing, turned and walked away.

Naturally, he didn't see the gentleness of the man behind him, revealing a sharp appearance.

At the same time, Gangneung Castle.

Mu Ran had been thinking about it for a long time, and in Bai Ye's eyes, this thin young man was just stalling for time.

"Enough. He frowned a little impatiently, his deep gaze became more aggressive, he stepped forward quickly, grabbed Mu Ran's collar with a handful, and the strong Bai Ye glared at Mu Ran angrily, "You kid, do you think this is child's play?"

"Bai ......" Lu Chuan has turbulent waves in his eyes, Bai Ye is straight, and he has never beaten around the bush, there is one thing to say, Lu Chuan respects him as a man, so he endures it again and again, but he pulls his daughter-in-law's collar like this three or four times, Lu Chuan is naturally unhappy in his heart.

However, when his words came to his lips, he was interrupted by Mu Ran's extremely calm voice, "General Bai also said that this is not child's play, if you don't think carefully, act cautiously, and make judgments in a hurry, isn't it child's play?"

"You ......" Bai Ye was suddenly choked by Mu Ran, this kid, and he couldn't speak, and his hand unconsciously let go.

Mu Ran, who inhaled heavily, patted his chest, and after exhaling another breath of turbidity, he cleared his throat, "This battle can't be fought." ”

"What? You say it lightly! What a thoughtful and cautious person!" Mu Ran said this, that white night naturally became more and more angry, if it weren't for Lu Chuan's presence, he couldn't wait to slap this guy against the wall and pick it off, "I see you kid, it's just nonsense!"

"General Bai, has anyone told you?" Mu Ran took a few steps back without being surprised, keeping a safe distance from Bai Ye. In case Bai Yezhen called a slap, he could avoid it in time, "You're noisy?"

"You ......" Bai Ye was so angry that he was angry to the bone.

"Our army is 80,000. The enemy army is 30,000, and on the face of it, I am sure that I will win. Mu Ran turned his back and suddenly interrupted Bai Ye's words that he was about to blurt out, his clear eyes stared at the yellowed drawing, and finally shook his head and whispered, "You can't look at the number of it, Yang Jian is a reckless man." Gangneung Harbor can no longer profit him, at least it is still his territory, if he knows that his things are threatened by others. will not sit idly by. Now he is immovable, and if he thinks about it, he has the chance to win. ”

Mu Ran explained in an orderly manner, and Bai Ye looked stunned. He was still frowning. But he remained silent.

"If he doesn't move, won't we move either?" There was a moment of silence, and Bai Ye finally spoke, but he couldn't raise his voice.

"Yes, we're not moving. Mu Ran suddenly turned around, and his bright eyes were like stars in the sky.

It's just that Mu Ran didn't expect that he who said this would really end up in Jiangling City. And she is now standing on the wall of Gangneung City, looking at this piece of Fuminfeng. Naturally, the heart will not be as sentimental as it was at the beginning, but the heart is also full of excitement and has a different mood.

Lu Chuan didn't know when he came behind Mu Ran, he looked at Mu Ran like this, pulled the corners of his mouth, and suddenly smiled, his slender fingers wanted to pull Mu Ran's cold jade-like fingers, but Mu Ran quietly dodged it, Lu Chuan was not angry, there was still a faint smile on his face, and he looked at Mu Ran's line of sight, and he saw this great scene that stretched for thousands of miles, he seemed to be infinitely emotional, but a thousand words just turned into a wisp of sigh scattered in the dust and smoke, Lu Chuan sighed lightly, "Mu Ran, you and I cooperated so tacitly." ”

Indeed, if it weren't for Lu Chuan's help at the beginning, she would not have obtained the command of Jiangling City so easily, and naturally she would not have turned defeat into victory in the later battles, if it was herself at the beginning, she was afraid that Lu Chuan would mention this, she would naturally sigh with emotion, and maybe she would be grateful to Lu Chuan for such words, but thinking of everything Lu Chuan has done over the years, what he is saying now, listening to Mu Ran's ears, it is always not as good as it was at the beginning.

"Huh. She only sneered when she heard this, "That time you used me to steal Kunlun, when I was expelled from the division, you flew away and ignored me, wouldn't it be more tacit?"

She is not the original Mu Ran, she understands that Lu Chuan is no longer the gentle son of her memory, and now they are speaking ill of each other, but they are just reaping the consequences.

Sure enough, as soon as Mu Ran's words fell, Lu Chuan's face suddenly turned indifferent, and the hand hidden in his sleeve tightened again, he took a deep breath, but his words trembled, "For so many years, Mu Ran, I have spent every day regretting. If you believe it or not, if you go back in time, I won't ...... Mu Ran, even at the beginning, I wanted to take you away. ”

"Who wouldn't say nice things. Mu Ran's expression was still cold, she took a few steps back, dodging Lu Chuan's scorching look, and said expressionlessly, "Lu Chuan, no matter what you say, I won't believe you." You know, no matter you and I, since we can't go back to the beginning, then if you say something like this, you have to mention it again. ”

Lu Chuan's eyes suddenly darkened, he looked at the woman in front of him coldly, gritting his teeth in his heart, but he still showed a sad look on his face.

He still wanted to say something, but Mu Ran snatched the words first, "Naturally, if you want me to do something, you can force Su Yu to force me, but you know, if you take Su Yu to force me to do a point, I will hate you for a point, and I will force it tightly, and when the time comes, we will just die and die together." ”

Oh, what a fish is dead and the net is broken, and they will all die together!

Lu Chuan thought that he knew Mu Ran, but he didn't know that Chu Muran had already seen himself in the past few days, after all, they were so familiar with each other at the beginning, what did he think, how could this smart girl not know, she just grabbed her weakness and put herself in a dilemma.

Lu Chuan was speechless.

For a moment, there was only a depressing atmosphere between the two of them.

However, after calming down for a long time, Lu Chuan finally continued to speak coldly, "It's cold, go back." ”

It doesn't matter, he still has his trump card in his hand. (To be continued......)
