Many, many of these things have to start fifteen years ago.

Fifteen years ago, Lu Yi, the general of the Nanwei Kingdom, was overjoyed to receive a thousand gold, and officials at all levels of his colleagues came to say goodbye. After all, this general who protects the country has made great achievements, even if he can't cling to it, it's good to pull in some relationships.

coincided with the visit and exchange of the envoys of the Xixiang Kingdom in the Nanwei Kingdom, and it was supposed to be the time when the envoys of the Xixiang Kingdom returned to restore their lives, but it was postponed due to the full moon banquet of the general's daughter.

Today, the South Towers, the North Mountains and the West are in a three-legged trend. There are also some wild tribes that have been rooted abroad for generations, and there is nothing to be afraid of. Among the three countries, the forces of the western kingdom have a slight upper hand, but there are other two countries that check and balance each other, and no one dares to act rashly.

In the main hall of the deep palace, a middle-aged man sat on the dragon chair, his body was round and quite rich. Leaning on the handle of the dragon chair and rubbing his eyebrows. He is Zhao Kuo, the emperor of the Southern Wei Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, the envoy of the Xixiang Kingdom said that he would wait until the full moon wine of the general's daughter to return, saying that he had admired the general's prestige for a long time and wanted to take this opportunity to congratulate the general's mansion." It was Nangong Yu, the imperial history minister of the Southern Wei Kingdom, who spoke.

"It's inconvenient for us to interfere with this, so let him go." After speaking, Zhao Kuo sneered: "Heh, I'm afraid that after many years, the world will only know the general and not the monarch."

Nangong Yu heard the tone of the saint, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to make a sound, but just knelt on the ground.

"If I accept the Chaoyun Army, what do you think?"

"This ......" Nangong Yu raised his head, "The minister thinks that the Chaoyun army is feared by the Quartet, and it is not so much that the general protects the country as it controls the military power of the Chaoyun army, and in order to maintain the stability of the Nanwei country, His Majesty should accept it." ”

"I mean so, but Lu Yi has led this army for many years, and I'm afraid it's not easy to take it back."

"Your Majesty, it is precisely because General Lu has led the army for many years that he wants to take back his military power. Otherwise, this will no longer be the army of the Southern Latitude Kingdom! ”

A chill flashed in Zhao Kuo's eyes, "This has become his Lu Yi's private army." ”

The twilight darkens and envelops everything.

The full moon banquet of the general's daughter is naturally not sloppy. Lu Yi has always been a thrifty person, but this time he held a banquet with great fanfare.

Lu Qinghuan is very obedient, not like other children who love to make trouble and cry. Except for the cry when she was born, she never cried again.

All the officials came to congratulate them, as well as the envoys of the kingdom of Nassi.

Lu Yiying followed the visiting guests and did not pay much attention to the envoy of the Western Lap Kingdom. The envoy was also helpless but did not dare to show any emotion, and he was accompanied by a little boy, about seven or eight years old. The little boy did not feel anything of the indifference of the visitor, and ran away from the messenger present on his own.

The envoy only made a blink of an eye, and saw the little ancestor beside him running away, and he was even more helpless. I secretly thought that I wouldn't bring this little ancestor out next time.

In the front hall, Nangong Yu and Nangong Zhaoruo came to congratulate. Nangong Yu likes to oppose Lu Yi in the court, Lu Yi can't compare to these literati in the battlefield all the year round, so he is not very friendly to Nangong Yu on the surface, and he is not willing to pretend to be something to others.

"Congratulations to General Lu for winning a daughter!" Nangong Yu smiled and gestured to let his subordinates offer a congratulatory gift, "Be careful, not respectful." ”

Today is his daughter's full moon banquet, and Lu Yi doesn't want to worry about him, so he beckons his subordinates to take it. Nangong Yu didn't say anything more, Lu Yi's attitude towards him, even if he could receive a gift, it would be good, he just came to walk through the officialdom, and he didn't think about how good a relationship he could earn.

"Uncle Lu, why didn't you see Lu Li?" The little girl next to Nangong Yu suddenly leaned out and asked.

Although Lu Yi said that he didn't like Nangong Yu, he liked his eldest girl Zhaoruo very much, this girl really didn't have a temperament, she could afford to fight a little, and she didn't lose everyone's demeanor on important occasions.

"That kid is in the backyard with his mother, if you want to go find him, go there!"

"Well, then Zhaoruo will go first!" After speaking, Nangong Zhaoruo ran away.

For the General's Mansion, she is a frequent visitor, perhaps because of today's banquet in the mansion, there are not many people in the backyard. She walked to the backyard with a familiar car, and suddenly saw an unfamiliar figure.

"Who are you!" Nangong Zhaoruo shouted.

It was the little boy who had just followed the messenger, and he had accidentally walked into the backyard, and he didn't know where it was. He turned his head at the sound and saw a girl his size in a pink skirt looking at him. This little girl is very good-looking and has delicate facial features. It is not like the coquettish posture of the weak willow supporting the wind, but a dignified and generous beauty.

"Who are you?" The boy looked at the girl in front of him with amusement.

"I'll ask you first!"

Suddenly, someone walked briskly out of a courtyard. As soon as Nangong Zhaoruo saw it, he immediately ran over: "Lu Li! It's me! ”

Lu Li said angrily: "You have a quieter voice!" My sister just fell asleep! You can be heard in the house. ”

Nangong Zhaoruo was immediately silenced by what he said, although he was murdered, he was not angry because of it.

After speaking, Lu Li looked at the boy and said, "I am Lu Li, the son of this general's mansion, may I ask who you are?"

The boy looked at the two people in front of him, and the girl didn't dare to make a sound when she was killed by this murderer named Lu Li, as if she had just spoken to herself.

"My name is Xun Yu, and I am from Xixiang." The boy replied.

"Xixiang Country? You're coming with an envoy from the Western Kingdom? ”

"Yes."

Lu Li's face changed, "What are you doing here?" ”

"I have admired General Lu's prestige for a long time, and I am fortunate to take this opportunity to come and see the general's demeanor." Xun Yu smiled, his expression was very humble.

Suddenly, the conversation changed: "I have heard that the women of Nanwei Kingdom are extraordinary, but when I saw it today, it was really like this, and I would like to ask which lady this is, who has such a peerless appearance."

"You don't need to know, don't send it." After speaking, Lu Li took Nangong Zhaoruo's wrist and walked into the courtyard that he had just come out.

Walking to the door, Lu Li let go of Nangong Zhaoruo's hand. Whispered, "What are you doing here?"

Zhao Ruo was afraid that his little sister would sleep in the back room, so he also whispered: "I came here with my father, why, I can't come?"

"I'm afraid you'll be so fierce and frighten my sister."

"What kind of murder am I, didn't you hear the man just now compliment me on my good looks? Your sister will love me! ”

"That person is just confused by your appearance, he looks like a lady, and he looks like a girl else!"

"Lu! Black! Nangong Zhaoruo jumped out these two words angrily.

"Shh Lu Li rolled her eyes and hurriedly ran into the house.

Nangong Zhaoruo is the eldest daughter of the Nangong Imperial Historian, not only born with good looks, but also talented and intelligent, and is outstanding among the official ladies. Although the Lu family and the Nangong family have always been at odds in the court, General Lu is very satisfied with this young lady of the Nangong family.

Lu Li has regarded Nangong Zhaoruo as yin and white since she was a child, she is a dignified and polite lady in front of people, and in front of herself, she is simply a noisy and domineering little girl.

If it was too early, Lu Li couldn't remember when he had such a good relationship with Nangong Zhaoruo.

There is a rule in Nanwei that the daughters of the ministers' families have to be sent to the palace to study with the princes and county lords, one is to enhance the relationship between the sons and ladies of each family, and the other is to have a comparison with everyone, which can be regarded as an encouragement

or read in the palace together, know and become familiar, or happen to see the right eye between the two, but they can play together. After all, the friendship between children is much simpler than that between adults. Since he can remember, Nangong Zhaoruo will always follow him with a blank eye, even if the relationship between the two families is not harmonious, and the family is not allowed to interact too much, she can sneak out and sneak out to play with him in disguise. At that time, there were often classmates and friends who joked that Nangong Zhaoruo was his little daughter-in-law, and there were many who were envious and jealous, and the relationship between him and her seemed to have been like this from the beginning.

Nangong Zhaoruo followed Lu Li into the room, and the general's wife, Zhao Shuying, was leaning on the bed, holding a small child in her arms.

"It's Zhaoruo, I'll say why that kid ran out so actively." Zhao Shuying quipped quietly.

As soon as his mother made such a joke, Lu Li's face turned red to the root of his ears. Zhaoruo was also a little embarrassed, pretending not to hear, only stretched out his head to look at the infant child and asked, "She is so young, does she have a name?"

Lu Li said: "Don't you have two younger sisters at home? It's like I've never seen a child. ”

"My two younger sisters, one two years younger than me and the other three years younger than me, were both children when they were born! How will it be remembered! ”

Zhao Shuying smiled, these two children can quarrel every time they meet. She also likes Nangong Zhaoruo's child very much, and she can also see that her son is a little interesting to other girls. However, in this political situation, the future of these two children will be a little difficult.

"You haven't said it yet, what's your sister's name?" Nangong Zhaoruo asked again.

"Lu Qinghuan." Lu Li replied.

"Qinghuan...... That's a nice name. ”

……

Four years later.

In the tent of the border military camp of the Southern Assess, a soldier presented a military order. Lu Yi opened the military order and sighed: "I finally want to go back to the capital!"

The soldiers on the side hurriedly asked: "General, does the emperor want the general to return to the capital at this moment?"

"Hmm."

The general's name is Lu Shu, who is not only Lu Yi's subordinate, but also his best friend in life and death. When I heard the news of the recall, I felt a little uneasy.

"The subordinates dare to ask the general not to return to the capital." Lu Shu suddenly knelt down and looked at Lu Yi with sincere eyes.

Lu Yi stepped forward and helped him up, "I know that you are thinking about me in your heart, you have been here for almost four years, and you are not afraid of the barbarian invasion in the surrounding areas, but what is terrible is the assassination of your own people again and again." ”

"The general knew that the old man of the emperor was not to blame for his good intentions, so why not go against him. The general is dedicated to serving the country, but he is everywhere in a vain attempt to hurt the general's life. If the general raises troops, my Chaoyun army will always follow the general. Na Lu said indignantly. This Chaoyun army has been led by Lu Yi for decades, and has also followed him on the bloody battlefield for decades. In the eyes of these soldiers, they don't know grandiose, only know affinity and generals.

Lu Yi suddenly reprimanded angrily: "Hugh is talking nonsense, we are the soldiers of the Nanwei Kingdom, and we must defend the country to the death, how can we have the idea of rebellion and rebellion!" ”

"General, this Nanwei Emperor is mediocre and incompetent, and he doesn't pay attention to the government and politics on weekdays, and he actually assassinated the loyal people who guarded the territory for him several times. The only thing that can be done under its rule is the Southern Empire! Checkmate! ”

"No matter what, as a soldier, the military order is like the sky, and as a courtier, the emperor's order is like the sky. This matter is not negotiable! ”

Lu Shu suddenly knelt on the ground and didn't speak, just faced Lu Yi in a big bowing posture. A thousand words in one worship.

Lu Yi was a little unbearable, and said, "You get up."

Lu Shu didn't make a sound, still firmly fixed in that position, unwilling to get up. This time he recalled the imperial capital, and he didn't know what kind of bloody rain was facing the general in front of him, and he didn't want him to risk his life. At least they are all their own people here, and they are much safer than the imperial capital.

Lu Yi shook his head helplessly, "Since Qinghuan was born, I have never fulfilled my father's responsibilities, and I still don't know what she looks like. Shuying is the emperor's younger sister, and I believe that the emperor will not be too difficult for me. These assassinations or what foul language he listened to from the villain, I should have a good separation with him when I return to the imperial capital. I know your kindness, but you have to be considerate of my position as a father and a husband. Besides, this hurdle is not something that can be hidden here forever for a lifetime, there must be a result. I've been on the battlefield for many years, and who can hurt me so easily. Relax. ”

After speaking, he helped Lu Shu up, patted him on the shoulder twice, and walked out of the camp.
