A year ago, under the overwhelming offensive of the Heavenly Army, Kaifeng, the capital of the Song Kingdom, completely fell. The leadership center of the imperial court also moved south early, reduced its troops, and stuck to the south, avoiding the crisis of national annihilation.

In the past, Lin'an City was just a tourist mecca in the Song Kingdom, and with its unique coastal scenery and delicious specialties, it became a place that Song Zong would visit every year. But now, because of the southward retreat of Song Zong, Lin'an City has become the capital of the Song Kingdom, and the palace that used to be enjoyable has also become a place for the daily morning dynasty.

Lin'an City, the mansion of the Qian family.

A graceful young girl is sitting on a dressing table, grooming herself. On the fair and smooth cheeks, slightly smear a little good rouge, sip a light red lip grease on the pink lips, and then simply modify the already slender eyebrows with powder.

Looking at her flawless self in the mirror, Qian Jinyu couldn't be happy. Putting down the ornaments in her hand lonely, she sighed lightly. Looking at the pairs of birds outside the window, she couldn't help but say to herself:

"It's been more than a year since I was separated from you, are you okay? Brother Yun. Yu'er dresses up beautifully every day, and is waiting for you to come back every day. Where the hell are you?"

She still remembers that at that time, she accompanied him to practice guns, she dragged him to go shopping, and he used his pocket money to buy jewelry for her. It was all so sweet and beautiful, but it was all gone on that rainy night, and he walked down the street covered in blood and rain, his eyes full of anger and murderous intent......

"Miss, my lord has been waiting for you in the main hall for a long time. A rush interrupted Qian Jinyu.

"Got it, I'll go right away. After saying that, she finished tidying up as soon as possible and hurried to the main hall.

As one of the two major families of the Song Kingdom, the Qian family fled to Lin'an City with the Song Kingdom. But the assets of the rich country have not shrunk at all.

In the vast mansion, all kinds of small roads twist and turn, and if you change strangers, you may not even find a way out. However, Qian Jinyu was still familiar with her home, and after walking for a while, she found the main hall.

On the main seat of the main hall, there is a middle-aged man with a Chinese character face, a serious expression, a high nose and big eyes, and a luxuriously dressed. It is the head of today's Qian family, Qian Ju. And sitting next to her was a woman who was somewhat similar to Qian Jinyu, who was her mother, Song Yuelan. Although there are some wrinkles on his face, his youthful charm has not diminished much.

Seeing that Jinyu had just come in, Qian Ju smiled and said, "Yu'er, is there anything going on today? Why is it so slow, you see that the dishes are almost cold." ”

Jin Yu bowed slightly and said, "Father, good morning, Mother." I'm fine, it's just that I'm a little late today. ”

Song Yuelan said with concern: "Do you have any troubles lately?"

Qian Jinyu sat down next to her mother, "Mother is too worried, but she doesn't adapt to the climate here." ”

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Qian Ju also said, "Then let's have breakfast first." ”

The family gracefully picked up the chopsticks at hand and slowly tasted the food on the plate.

The time of breakfast is not long, but it is not short. After the family had eaten, the servants quickly removed the utensils.

Normally, the next step is to do your own thing. But today, Qian Ju seriously left his daughter behind.

"Father, what's the matter?"

Qian Ju looked at her more and more mature and beautiful daughter, "Yu'er, you are almost eighteen this year." It's time to find someone's home. ”

Qian Jinyu was about to say something, but Qian Ju continued: "In today's chaos on the mainland, my father feels that he must find a man who can protect you, but your mother and I only have a daughter like you, so we decided to hold a martial arts competition in a few days to recruit relatives and find a martial artist with strong martial arts skills to be a son-in-law." ”

As soon as his father finished speaking, Qian Jinyu said slightly angrily: "I don't agree, don't you know that I already have someone in my heart? ”

"Nonsense, Yang Ruiyun is now a traitor, and you still mention him. Qian Ju also slapped the table angrily.

"I don't care, I just want to wait for Brother Yun. Qian Jinyu cried, but said firmly.

"Okay, don't kill your daughter. Don't you also know about Yang Ruiyun's things?" After Song Yuelan grabbed her angry husband, she persuaded her daughter: "Yu'er, my mother also knows that you and Yang Ruiyun are childhood sweethearts, and you have liked him since you were a child." But didn't he abandon you then, and if he really had you in his heart, how could he leave you? If he was willing to choose you at that time, instead of revenge, with the strength of our Qian family, we would definitely be able to protect him. Mom is a person who has come over, listen to Mom, a love without a response is not worth waiting for, find a man who loves you, it is much happier than a man you love. ”

"But, I'm ......" Qian Jinyu wanted to refute her mother, but she didn't know what to say for a while.

Song Yuelan glanced at Qian Ju and said, "You tell her the news." ”

After getting his wife's signal, Qian Ju also said: "Yu'er, we know that you only have that Yang Ruiyun in your heart, and we actually want you to be happy." So Dad has been investigating Yang Ruiyun's whereabouts through the power of the Qian family. But not long ago, news came from the land of chaos that Yang Ruiyun had taken refuge in the Tang State, and some time ago, he was requisitioned and transferred to Kaiyan Pass as a member of the ordinary army to resist the invasion of the Mongol army. Although he is very strong, according to my information, he has unfortunately died on the battlefield. ”

After Qian Ju finished speaking, Qian Jinyu's whole person fell into dark despair.

"He's dead, Brother Yun, dead, no, impossible. Her gaze faded, her body lost control, and she fell to the ground.

The couple was frightened, "Quick, come on, hurry up and call the doctor." ”

In Qian Jinyu's bedroom, Song Yuelan was holding the hand of her daughter who had just woken up, and said gently: "Yu'er, you are not young. You have to learn to take responsibility, Yang Ruiyun chooses to face the reality and take on the responsibility of his family. You can't be immersed in the love of children anymore. In fact, my mother also likes Yang Ruiyun a lot, he is handsome, his martial arts are good, and his family background is also good, but we always have to face the reality, don't we? Now, the Song State has been defeated, and the Qian family seems to be quiet and stable, but in fact, many people have been staring at the Qian family's property. Listen to our mother, let's accept the reality, and then hide Brother Yun in our memories, okay?"

Qian Jinyu nodded silently with tears.

"Then you have a good rest, and I'll go out first. After seeing that her daughter was in a stable mood, Song Yuelan also breathed a sigh of relief.

Outside the house, Qian Juzheng was anxiously moving around, and when he saw his wife come out, he hurriedly went up and asked, "How is Yu'er?" If it really doesn't work, let's tell her the truth." Then take her to Tang Kingdom to find that Yang family boy. ”

Song Yuelan shook her head and said, "I have already convinced him that everything is now dependent on the future of the Qian family." I can't let her temperament anymore. ”

"Well, why does my daughter have to suffer all this? You said that Song Zong's guy is not sick, and he has to attack the Deng family. If it weren't for these things, no matter how much Yang Yan objected, I would have to get that kid to my daughter. ”

"Alright, you daughter slave. What else can you do if everything happens? You should arrange a martial arts competition to recruit relatives as soon as possible, and it is best to attract martial artists from several surrounding countries to come. ”

"Understood. After nodding in agreement, Qian Ju turned around and left here.

Heavenly Barracks,

The grandson of the Lan family was discussing the siege plan with a group of officers in the near future. That's right, the Heavenly Kingdom will soon attack Lin'an City in an all-out way, and this time, their speed will only be faster and the offensive will only be stronger, so that the Song Imperial Court will not have time to escape at all.

"That's the general arrangement, everyone must be careful of the surrounding Song State scouts recently. ”

"Understood. After saying that, the officers also left the general barracks.

Halfway through, Lan Ke was walking with a young officer who was somewhat similar to him.

"Hey, Ke. You said we should sneak into Lin'an City to find out the situation. The person who finished speaking was Lan Ke's cousin, named Lan Hao, who was two or three years older than Lan Ke. He is the deputy commander of the Lan family's sword servants.

Lan Ke replied directly without thinking: "There is nothing to understand, the military defense of the Song Kingdom is simply impossible to stop the army of my Heavenly Kingdom. ”

Seeing Lan Ke's resolute attitude, Lan Hao couldn't say anything, so he could only shrug helplessly.

"Where are you going now?"

Lan Ke's face did not change and said, "Go find Luo Xuan." ”

As soon as he spoke, the two arrived at Yun Luoxuan's mansion and just wanted to knock on the door. The closed door opened by chance.

"Brother Lan, why are you here. ”

Suddenly seeing Yun Luoxuan, Lan Ke didn't know what to say for a while. Fortunately, Lan Hao was still online, and hurriedly said respectfully: "See Her Royal Highness the Princess, we want to report to you on the content of today's meeting." Are you going out?"

"Is that so? I'm sorry for you, I didn't make it to the scene today because of something. Yun Luoxuan patiently explained.

"Luo Xuan, are you going out now?" Lan Ke suddenly asked.

"yes, I have something to go out. ”

"What about Xu Yang, isn't he with you?"

"Brother Xu set off first, and I went to find him with Xu Yue. Seeing Lan Ke's serious expression, Yun Luoxuan could only answer truthfully.

"Then what's the matter, Xu Yue can't protect you alone, let's go with you. It just so happened that I was fine. ”

Before Yun Luoxuan could answer, Xu Yue ran out from behind and asked, "Hey, Lan Ke, do you underestimate my strength?"

Lan Ke shook his head and said very seriously: "It's not that I doubt your strength, but that I doubt your attitude." ”

"You!" Xu Yue wanted to refute, but she didn't know what to say for a while.

"Alright, let's go together. It just so happens that the things I took this time are also going to be handed over to Brother Lan. Yun Luoxuan can only play a round field.

"Luo Xuan, where are we going?"

"Go to Lin'an City. ”

"What?" Lan Hao exclaimed.

"What's wrong with you?" asked Xu Yue.

"It's nothing, it's really nice for everyone to go together. ”

Lan Ke obviously still had some doubts, but Yun Luoxuan's decision would not be wrong, so he didn't ask in detail, and he would know what was going on later.

Then, Lan Ke and Lan Hao first changed the military uniforms on their bodies into ordinary clothes, while Yun Luoxuan and Xu Yue also changed into plain dresses, and Yun Luoxuan also covered their faces. The group dressed up as people who had fled from the north, preparing to infiltrate Lin'an City.
