Chapter 424: Battle Clouds

He Wan'er stood quietly outside the tent and did not walk in rashly.

No one was allowed to enter Princess Yingyue's tent without her permission, which was an unwritten rule in the old royal court. Even though they are sweating profusely now, people are still doing it.

At first, the simple He Wan'er didn't care about this, she always came and went like a gust of wind, and ran to and sister Shanshan for a while when she had nothing to do; However, after living in the grassland for two years, she has grown much more mature than before, and she will no longer run around willfully.

"Is it Wan'er? Come on in. ”

Hearing the voice inside, He Wan'er walked into the big tent with joy. She walked quickly in front of Lu Shanshan, shook her arm like a sister who was spoiled by her sister and said, "Sister Shanshan, I said last year that you would accompany others to go on a trip, but this year Wan'er went by herself." There's a lot going on here, but you can't always be busy with this and that, and occasionally go out for a walk with someone. ”

After that, He Wan'er suddenly covered her small mouth and said "ah", and said, "Sister Shanshan, your face is so white." Is there something uncomfortable, or someone should go to the witch doctor? ”

Lu Shanshan pursed her lips and chuckled: "I'm fine, I'm just a little tired, just rest for a while." ”

He Wan'er pouted and said, "Sister, don't be too reluctant, how can people only sleep for two hours a day?" If you have to do everything yourself, even an iron man will be tired. ”

Lu Shanshan doted on this little girl who was worried about herself, smiled and didn't speak.

Why doesn't she know the disadvantages of hard work?

In the dead of night, she would secretly take out a bronze mirror to look at her cheeks, and then make some simple dresses like when she lived in the Central Plains, and it was like returning to that carefree time in a trance.

It's just that although the person in the mirror is still the color of the good daughter of the year, the haggard on his face can't be hidden no matter what.

As for He Wan'er...... She used to be like a child, but she has become a big girl.

She lived very happily on the prairie. Compared with the boring and well-behaved workshop, here she can sing, dance, laugh freely, and enjoy the love of people and the nourishment of the vast world.

Now Wan'er is not only taller, but also so delicate that she can drip water, and even the songs of the shepherds praise her beauty.

On the other hand, although she is more sensible than before, she is still that delicate character, laughing, noisy, lively and cheerful, and has brought a lot of joy to other people's lives.

Many times, Lu Shanshan even envied her a little:

If my father Khan is still here, I can live so simply, right?

Thinking about it, Lu Shanshan shook her head lightly and waved away this unrealistic thought.

After sighing almost imperceptibly, she pulled He Wan'er out of the big tent.

Lu Shanshan took a few breaths of fresh air and smiled: "By the way, my sister will go back to the Southern Dynasty in a few days, right?" I haven't been back for two years, so you should miss those old friends a lot, right? ”

He Wan'er's eyes lit up suddenly. However, she only took a few breaths of joy before pulling down her face and saying a little dejectedly: "People want to, but Da Rui has issued sea fishing documents, and Wan'er is afraid that she will be caught and cut off her head in less than three days when she goes back, which is not fun at all." ”

Lu Shanshan said gently: "Sister, don't worry, I will send someone to escort you, and there will be someone to answer you when you get there, you can come and go freely, and there will be no problems." ”

He Wan'er raised her eyebrows and said happily: "Really? ”

Lu Shanshan nodded.

He Wan'er couldn't help clapping her hands and laughing: "Great, people are going back!" ”

For a moment, the signature bright smile bloomed on her face again; It's a pity that this smile didn't last long before it gradually dissipated.

"Then, will Sister Shanshan go with you?"

He Wan'er, who was a little suspicious, asked cautiously.

Lu Shanshan smiled and said: "My sister just go back, I have too many things, where can I leave?" ”

Hearing this answer, He Wan'er suddenly shook her head like a rattle, and said resolutely: "If my sister doesn't go, people will accompany you here, and you won't go anywhere." ”

She's innocent, of course, but she's not stupid. In recent days, there has been an inexplicable tense atmosphere on the grassland, and there must be a reason why Lu Shanshan suddenly proposed to send her back to Darui at this juncture.

After living together for a long time, the two have become sisters, and even if He Wan'er wants to return to the Central Plains, she will not leave alone.

Lu Shanshan stroked her forehead and smiled bitterly, but she didn't know what to say.

Although I was very moved in my heart, this would not work, so I could only find another reason to send this Nizi away in the future.

It's all because of the parchment that was just hidden.

The edict of the sweat tent reads: Three months later, the army will march south!

Lu Shanshan knew that what she received was by no means the only one.

In the past two years, Lu Chong has used his skills to integrate many forces on the grassland, and some tribes that are unwilling to obey the rule of the carriage house have either been gradually encroached upon or eliminated by force, and only the old royal court has maintained a certain degree of independence under her leadership.

Xiao Jing once mentioned in his letter that the royal court was likely to invade the south within two to three years, but he didn't expect that the preparations in the garage would be done faster than he expected!

From this point of view, Lu Chong does have the potential of a generation of heroes, but what he thinks about here has always been to wave his army south to enter the Central Plains, so that the iron hooves of Beihu can step on every inch of the splendid rivers and mountains of the Southern Dynasties.

And Lu Shanshan really couldn't accept this ambition.

If the entire Northern Hu was dispatched, the war would become a war of annihilation, and the Southern Dynasties would have to carry out a general mobilization. Once the war starts, countless people in the north and even in the whole of Darui will be displaced, their families will be destroyed, and many children of the grassland will be buried far from home.

The two sides have not engaged in a full-scale war for decades, and those who have not seen sword soldiers for too long have long forgotten the human tragedy.

The soldiers are in danger. Da Rui has never lacked adventurous generals, and after the war begins, the pastures of the old royal court may also become battlefields, how can Lu Shanshan leave He Wan'er behind?

The two chatted for a while, and Wan'er, who was a little tired, went to rest.

Lu Shanshan returned to the tent and did not come out until the sun was waning. After handing over a few letters she had just written to her confidants, she began to wander around the camp, seemingly wanting to go around every corner.

It would have taken at least two hours to do so, but she was not afraid of the exhaustion.

Whether it is a babbling toddler or a gray-haired old man, everyone here is Lu Shanshan's clansman. She really wants to lead everyone to live in peace and tranquility, not to be a royal court, and not to get involved in needless wars because of the ambitions of individual people.

It's a pity that she is the nominal mistress of the grassland, and she can't help herself in many things.

The edict is very clear: The person who led the troops in the old royal court must be her, Lu Shanshan!
