The two families of Yang and Li had previously sent troops to confront each other, and they had frequent drills, and the competition was becoming increasingly serious, but after all, they had never stepped out of their own territory and had nothing to do with the people. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoNow that the two armies have crossed the river together, the troops are in the north of the water, and the danger of the situation is beyond the Lu family's ability to hide, and the merchants continue to bring news to various places.

Lu Xun stepped up preparations for war, strategic materials were frequently dispatched, and the vanguard composed of 20,000 troops advanced to Lingchuan City as soon as possible, patrolling the northern cities, and private soldiers from all over the country rushed to Yuecheng to assemble. The big war seems to be on the verge of breaking out.

But the two families of Yang and Li seem to have become a cat that teases rats, and the army stationed in Shuibei has never advanced a single step, and the follow-up troops have crossed the Mushui River one after another, and in just one week, the number of the two coalition troops has exceeded 120,000. The difference in strength between the two sides made Lu Xun faintly unbearable, in order to be safe, she categorically ordered the Lu family's 60,000 sailors to abandon the ship and land on the shore, ready for land battle at any time.

Such a situation made Jiang Yun also a little painful, if it weren't for the lack of his body and voice, he really wanted to rush to the head of Surabaya City, and shouted: Fight and not fight, retreat and not retreat, but why! it, yelling to death counts as one!

In this uneasy situation, time flies, and a month later, Shuibei ushered in a major event, Lu Xun's nineteenth birthday arrived. Now that the war is about to break out, the fate of the family is still unknown, where did she come from to celebrate her birthday, but under Jiang Yun's persuasion, after thinking about it again and again, Lu Xun finally decided that not only should it be done, but also had to do a special thing, and it was best to make it known to everyone.

Holding a birthday in wartime is not a sign of self-confidence. She wants to use this to stabilize the hearts of the people in Shuibei and deter the Yang-Li coalition army.

Although it was only a small birthday, the particularity of Lu Xun's identity finally raised it to the height of a political show, and the leaders of the major forces attached to the Lu family arrived one by one, and early in the morning, thousands of people poured into the Lu Mansion.

Near noon, the Lu family held a feast. With Jiang Yun's status, he is naturally not qualified to serve on the table, but he is not a decent person from the Lu Mansion, so he doesn't need to be busy before and after, serving food and wine, but he is also happy to be idle.

The front yard was full of people, it was too noisy, Jiang Yun thought about it, and simply walked to the backyard wing, took out the birthday gift that had been prepared from his own room, and ran to the heart house. When I entered the house, it was empty, and Lu Xun was not there. Saying that, he didn't see her in the front hall, Jiang Yun was stunned and rushed straight to the lotus pond.

Sure enough, it's still the lawn, it's still the back, and even, it's still the same posture. This girl has been under a lot of pressure recently. Jiang Yun sighed secretly, walked up to Lu Xun, and sat down. "I'm eating in front of you, why are you hiding here alone?"

"I want to be quiet."

"Hey! What a big deal, you wait, I'll go and find Jing Jing for you! ”

"Don't make a fuss." As soon as Jiang Yun stood up, he was pulled by Lu Xun to sit down again. "Sit with me."

"Not going to eat? The welcome guests were busy all morning, so I had a good meal. ”

"No appetite."

"That's right." Jiang Yun lifted the package around him, put it on his lap, and slowly opened it: "Try this, I made it myself, a birthday gift for you." ”

Lu Xun glanced at Jiang Yun out of the corner of his eye. "A gift for food? You're stingy. Earlier, Zhao Junren gave me a jade bracelet, you are embarrassed to give this thing? ”

"A broken bracelet, how can it be compared to my cake, I give you a gift, the world can't find a second one! Hi! Don't look at me like this, although this appearance may not be very beautiful, and I can't complain about it without a mold, but it tastes really good. Jiang Yun took out a small spoon as he spoke, carefully dug out a piece, and handed it to Lu Xun's mouth. Come, taste. ”

Lu Xun sighed helplessly, opened his mouth and took a sip. "It's too sweet."

"Oops! Forgot something. Jiang Yun suddenly remembered something, patted his thigh, then coughed lightly, and sang solemnly: "I wish you a happy birthday, I wish you a birthday... Hey, what kind of eyes are you looking at? ”

Lu Xun looked at him with a strange expression. "Didn't I just say it was too sweet? It's not appropriate for you to sing if you don't agree with this. ”

“。。。”

"What's wrong?"

"If you don't talk so badly, we can still be friends."

The two were silent for a while.

After a long time, Lu Xun said softly: "Thank you." ”

"Thanks for what?" Jiang Yun smiled.

Lu Xun shook his head, stared at the lake, and said lightly: "Do you remember what we said that night?" ”

"Of course." When I mentioned that night, my butt hurt, and I can't forget it.

"The Yang and Li coalition forces are pressing, although they have not yet attacked, but in the past few days, the pressure has made me breathless, I know that once they jointly attack, my Lu family may be able to resist for a while, but there is no chance of winning, Shuibei will eventually fall into their hands, and at that time, the Lu family will not exist."

"Perhaps."

Lu Xun suddenly turned his head and stared at Jiang Yun's eyes seriously. "As I said at that time, now for my Lu family, the sky has broken a hole and may collapse at any time. Jiang Yun, can you help me make up for it this day? ”

"I can't."

"Yes." Seeing that he refused without thinking about it, Lu Xun couldn't help but look dark.

"Unless... You give me a laugh. "What a lesson from the past! No matter how fat Jiang Yun is, he doesn't dare to easily confide in the word "uncle" at this moment.

Seeing him coming again, Lu Xun said angrily: "I'm going to tell you about business!" ”

"I'm down to business." Jiang Yun said with a straight face: "The Lu family and I are unkind and ruthless, we don't drag or owe, the Lu family survives, what does it have to do with me?" I, Jiang Yun, act in a way that has always been calculating and calculating, and I never do that loss-making business. I'm not a saint, but a very realistic villain. But villains are also people, to my family, to my friends, I never count it as a profit or a loss. Since the eldest lady has opened her mouth today, I am naturally willing to help you, and I will treat you as a friend. But if the eldest lady always hides herself under the cold face, Jiang Yun will be like seeing flowers in the fog, so what's the point of talking? ”

"I... Won't laugh. ”

"You will!" Jiang Yun glanced at her and said, "I once had a long conversation with Master Lu, and he told me that you used to laugh, love to laugh, once your... ”

"That's once!" Lu Xun's voice rose suddenly, and after interrupting Jiang Yun, he was silent for a long time, and muttered in a low voice: "Once upon a time, I had my father's pain, my mother's love, and I was carefree. Every day, I only need to think about what to eat, what to wear, and what gifts my eldest brother will bring to me when he comes back from a trip. But my father was sick and died! My mother was heartbroken and soon left me with my father. Grandpa has always had a chronic illness and can't work hard. The eldest brother is frivolous, the second brother is as literary as his life, neither of them is in charge, fourteen years old, I have to support this family alone since I was fourteen years old. Jiang Yun, what were you doing when you were fourteen? ”

“。。。” Jiang Yun's old face turned red and he didn't dare to squeak. Fourteen? Let him think about it, it should be the first year of junior high school, why? Do you still need to ask? When I was in school, I pulled the braids of my female classmates and flirted with them, or I would do a group fight with my buddies and find an Internet café to rub them for a few hours after school. Hi! I don't want to, I just haven't done anything.

"I've cried and made trouble, but if I don't do these things, who will do them? I can only cry and criticize the official documents that came, and there is no one to discuss and no one to rely on. Yang Li is eyeing the tiger, the admiral is pressing step by step, I can't fight them, I am afraid that as long as I show the slightest weakness, they will pounce together and gnaw the bones of the Lu family on the ground. Since then, Lu Xun has died, I am Lu Xun! It is the palm print of the Lu family, and it is the lord of Shuibei. Only by giving up joy, anger and sorrow can I keep the Lu family. ”

"But you're a woman after all."

"yes." Lu Xun said indifferently: "I'm nineteen years old, don't say that a wealthy nobleman, even if he is a daughter of an ordinary people's family, at this age, he should have talked about marriage a long time ago." There are countless young talents who come to the door every year, but none of them dare to respond. If he is capable, I am afraid that he will plot against the Lu family, and if he is incompetent, what is the use of coming? Don't I know what you think about Lian Zhan? If I marry him, will this Shuibei be surnamed Lu or Lian in the future? Jiang Yun, don't force me again, I have my own sufferings. ”

With that, she also lost interest in continuing to chat, stood up and patted her skirt. "If you are willing to help, I will accept your affection, if you are unwilling, then I will support myself."

Watching Lu Xun's lonely back gradually fade away, Jiang Yun's eyes narrowed slightly, and he finally gave up his heart.

Miss, if you insist on being Lu Xun, I will never help. If you are willing to be Lu Xun, then I, Jiang Yun, will hold up a piece of the sky for you! In the land of Yizhou, there is no room for two tigers, unless, one of them is willing to lie in wait.
