Chapter Seventy-Two: Goodbye Jade Like Smoke (I)
"Like smoke, come." When the middle-aged man saw the jade like smoke, his tight brows suddenly relaxed, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and the deep love in his eyes was so clear. He put his arm around his beloved wife and let her sit on his lap, breathing in the familiar and wonderful aroma, and the middle-aged man's heart calmed down a lot.
"What's the matter? Looking at your appearance, it doesn't seem to be going well! Didn't His Highness approve your application for military spending?" Yu Ruyan's eyes showed a hint of worry.
The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "How can it be, in terms of the army, His Highness will never have any opinion on my proposal, but what about the approval of military expenses? Now that most of the southern part of the entire empire is in famine, and if it continues for a long time, there will be changes." The so-called wealth of the people is the wealth of the country. It is not enough for the empire to have me alone, the huge Oran, but there is not even a person who can help His Majesty govern the empire, you know, those villains in the court will only flatter, such a small country, the country will not be a country!"
Yu Ruyan sighed lightly and said, "Forget it, Lan Yu, even if you worry about it, it's useless, the shortcomings of the empire are not formed in a day or two." You have to pay attention to your body and don't work too hard. ”
Lan Yu took a deep breath and said, "I also want to rest, but can I rest? In this battle, there are three thousand warriors of the Silver Feather Knights who will never see their relatives again. The entire Knights is only 10,000 people, and if the Huarong Empire ruthlessly sends the Flame Lion Knights, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist it. Although the Ice Moon Empire is friendly with our country, they will not really help us. After a long time, if there is no qualitative change in our country, I am afraid that it will ......"
Yu Ruyan put her arms around her husband's neck and said, "Okay, don't talk about this." Be happy. Oh yes, it's not all bad news lately. The Silver Feather reserve force I am in charge of now has 5,000 people, and there are 2,000 people who can go to battle, although their strength is not as good as the warriors under your command who have gone through countless tests of iron and blood. But I believe that as long as I exercise more, I will be able to make up for this loss. In fact, there is no shortage of people of insight in the empire, a few days ago a pair of young brothers and sisters came, that brother is a martial arts master, I think, you can directly join the knights. ”
Lan Yu smiled slightly and said, "I am naturally relieved that you are doing things." Forget it, let's not talk about that. I've only been back for a few days, and I haven't been with you properly. ”
Yu Ruyan was just about to say something, when a respectful voice suddenly came from outside, "Report." ”
Yu Ruyan frowned and said, "What's the matter?"
"Mrs. Hui, there is a young man from outside the house, saying that he is looking for Miss. ”
Yu Ruyan and Lan Yu couldn't help but look at each other in surprise, Yu Ruyan said, "Looking for Chenchen, what does that young man look like?"
"A very handsome young man, he took the lady's token, and said that he had come to deliver a letter to the miss. ”
Yu Ruyan stood up from Lan Yu's leg and said, "You bring him in, come here to see me and the Duke." ”
"Yes. ”
Nian Bing stood at the door of the Duke's Palace, sixteen silver-feathered knights and thirty-two eyes stared at him, it didn't feel comfortable, he had already shown the beads that Luo Rou gave him, but the knights didn't let him in, but returned to the mansion and let people pass it on.
The huge vermilion door opened, and a servant in green clothes walked out, glanced at Nian Bing, and said, "Please follow me." ”
Nian Bing sighed, as long as he could go in and deliver the letter, his task would be completed, and at that moment, under the gaze of the sixteen soldiers of the Silver Feather Knights who were responsible for guarding the land, he followed the servant into the Grand Duke's mansion.
As soon as he entered the gate, the first thing Nian Bing saw was an empty square, to be precise, this should be a martial arts arena, covering an area of about 2,000 square meters, with more than a dozen people fighting each other in the middle, and several weapon racks neatly placed next to the martial arts arena. The fighting spirit in the field is vertical and horizontal, and judging from their condensed fighting spirit, at least they are all the strength of the Great Sword Master or above. Sure enough, it is worthy of being the first of the ** people of Orland! Although the methods of attacking the ground are simple, the momentum is extremely strong, and the combat skills used are the most suitable for the battlefield.
The Ducal Palace is very large, and it is like walking through a labyrinth. The servant in Tsing Yi had a calm face, and he didn't say a word to Nian Bing, just led the way in front. Walking through the courtyard of Sanjin, the servant in Tsing Yi walked to a row of houses with Nian Bing and stopped, and said to Nian Bing, "Please wait a minute." After speaking, he turned to the door and said, "Lord Huiduke, someone has brought it." ”
A low, deep voice rang out, "Let him in." ”
"Yes. The servant in Tsing Yi agreed, leaned sideways to open the door, and made a gesture of invitation to Nian Bing.
Nian Bing was not polite, pushed open the door, and just stepped into the room before he stepped into the room, he saw Yu Ruyan standing next to the bookcase at a glance.
The blood in his body surged, Nian Bing's originally calm eyes were instantly full of emotion, and he walked in front of Yu Ruyan in a few steps, his body trembled slightly.
Seeing Nian Bing walking towards him quickly, Yu Ruyan couldn't help but feel a trace of vigilance in her heart, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and she shouted softly: "Stop." Nearly eight years have passed, she has not changed, but Nian Bing has changed very much, eight years ago, Nian Bing was only a child, and eight years later, he has become a handsome young man, coupled with the change in figure, eight years have passed, how can Yu Ruyan recognize him?
"Auntie, don't you recognize me?" Nian Bing knelt on one knee and respectfully saluted Yu Ruyan, his voice was already trembling, and tears flowed down his face. He never thought that as soon as he came to this duke's mansion, he would see his aunt who was thinking about him.
Yu Ruyan and Lan Yu glanced at each other, then turned their heads to look at Nian Bing, Nian Bing's handsome appearance brought her a sense of familiarity, and hesitated: "Are you?"
"Mom, I used to call you Mom!" As he spoke, Nian Bing ripped open the placket on his chest and pulled out the Huatian card.
Yu Ruyan's whole body was shocked, the light of surprise in her eyes was great, she stepped forward and pulled Nian Bing up, now Nian Bing is more than half a head taller than her, she looked at this handsome young man carefully, and said in surprise: "Are you the little fat man who was in the Ice Moon Empire more than seven years ago? You, your name is ......"
"I'm Nian Bing! You haven't changed at all, you're still so beautiful. Nian Bing took Yu Ruyan's hand, and her voice was full of emotion.
In addition to her husband, other men want to touch themselves and have only one result, that is, death, but at this time, Yu Ruyan's hand was held by Nian Bing, but she only had love in her heart, and there was no feeling of being blasphemed, and the innocence in Nian Bing's eyes deeply infected her.
The cough sounded, if Duke Lan Yu said that there was any shortcoming, it was probably jealousy, after all, he had such a beautiful wife, who changed it, I am afraid that other men would not allow other men to be close to his wife, although the handsome young man in front of him was probably less than half the age of his wife. But Duke Blue Feather still felt a little more jealous in his heart. "Ruyan, won't you introduce me?"
Nian Bing noticed that there was still a person sitting next to him, Duke Blue Feather stood up, his height was about the same as Nian Bing, Nian Bing immediately made a judgment from his momentum, the emotion in his eyes was a little restrained, and he said respectfully: "You must be Lord Duke Blue Feather." Hello, I'm Nian Bing. ”
Yu Ruyan took the initiative to take Nian Bing's hand and said, "Lan Yu, do you remember that more than seven years ago, I sent the Huatian card out on the way back after sending Chenchen to see her teacher? At the beginning, he called me mom as soon as he saw me, but I didn't expect him to grow so big and be a handsome young man. ”
Lan Yu suddenly said: "Is he the little fat man you said?" Nian Bing, since you are here to find Ruyan, why do you have Chenchen's token?"
Nian Bing wiped away the tears on her face and smiled: "I didn't know that my aunt was here, I was entrusted by a friend to deliver a letter to your daughter." You and Aunt Jade are ......"
Yu Ruyan smiled and said: "Silly boy, he is my boss! The duke's daughter you want to see is our daughter! Didn't you also see Chenchen at the beginning?"
Nian Bing realized at this time, and couldn't help but secretly praise Duke Lan Yu's good fortune in his heart, "So that's the case! Auntie, is Miss Chenchen there? This letter was brought to her by a friend of mine." The space ring in his hand emitted a faint silver light, and the letter that Luo Rou had given him appeared out of thin air.
Yu Ruyan took the letter and said in surprise: "Nian Bing, are you a magician?"
Nian Bing smiled and said, "Yes!"
Yu Ruyan didn't open the letter, and said with a smile: "That's good! Our Orlan Empire is short of magicians, is your teacher the old man at the beginning? However, I didn't feel the fluctuation of mana power from him! Chenchen is not here, I have studied with her teacher, and I may not come back once a year, I will give this letter to her when she comes back this year." ”
Nian Bing said: "That's not the teacher who taught me magic. Auntie, this letter is very urgent, it is related to my friend's lifelong affairs, and the sooner it is resolved, the better. ”
Yu Ruyan frowned slightly, and said, "But this letter is for Chenchen, and I can't open it, who is the person who asked you to send the letter?"
Nian Bing said: "It is the daughter of the treasurer of Ice and Snow City, Luo Rou, who is known as a wise woman. ”
Yu Ruyan suddenly said: "It's that girl! I haven't seen her for several years." When Chenchen met Luo Rou, it was the year I met you, when we passed through the Ice and Snow City, we were treated by the Ice and Snow City, and Chenchen and Rourou became good sisters at first sight, and exchanged tokens with each other. Do you know what this time is for you?"
Nian Bing nodded and said, "I heard Luo Rou say that she was because she was ......" At that moment, he recounted everything Luo Rou said to him in detail.
After listening to Nian Bing's explanation, Yu Ruyan smiled slightly and said, "Since this is the case, I understand what Rourou means." ”
Duke Lan Yu said: "Now that our Orlan Empire is worried about internal and external troubles, your aunt and I are very busy, and this Luo Rou girl is married to the royal family of the Ice Moon Empire, things are not very easy to handle! He was telling the truth, he couldn't even get busy with national affairs, so how could he take care of these private matters.
Nian Bing had already thought of Duke Blue Feather's answer, and didn't care about anything, after all, he was just sending a letter, although he had some good feelings for Luo Rou, but after all, he was just an ordinary friend, he believed that with Luo Rou's wisdom, even without the help of Duke Blue Feather's family, it would definitely not be so easy to compromise.
At this moment, Yu Ruyan suddenly smiled, looked at Lan Yu and said, "This letter is really timely, the problem you just said can be completely solved with this letter." ”
Lan Yu's heart moved, he was good at fighting, in terms of war, there were few people in the entire continent who could compare, but in terms of wisdom, he had always admired his wife, "Ruyan, what do you mean?"
Yu Ruyan smiled slightly and said, "Brother Yu, have you forgotten this gentle girl I once mentioned to you, when she first met our daughter, she was famous in Ice and Snow City and was known for her wisdom. Her father is where he is today, and to some extent, she owes much of it to her. This girl's intelligence is far superior to mine, especially when it comes to handling all kinds of affairs. Although her father is much worse, he also has good insights on financial matters and is okay. ”
After his wife's little bit, Lan Yu suddenly understood, and said happily: "If you secretly bring them to our Oran, change their names and surnames for my use,......"
Yu Ruyan smiled and said: "It's good if you understand, what you have to do is to persuade Your Majesty to reuse Rou'er, over the years, although I have rarely been to the Ice Moon Empire, but Rou'er's situation is still very familiar, I can guarantee that if she assists Your Majesty in managing the various affairs of the empire, it won't be long before the empire will take on a completely new scene." Who said that women are inferior to men, talents like Rou'er, we can't let it go, this is really a good opportunity. Actually, Rourou asked Nian Bing to send this letter, I'm afraid that's what it means, this girl is very smart, since she doesn't want to marry the Prince of Bingyue, she will naturally find a way back for herself. Their family is not prosperous, only father and daughter, so the problem is not difficult to solve, but it really can't be done, so I will go there myself. Nian Bing, don't worry, Auntie will deal with this matter. ”
Nian Bing doesn't understand political matters, but he is very smart, and he has heard some signs from the dialogue between Yu Ruyan and his wife, and he can't help but secretly praise this Aunt Yu Ruyan for her foresight.
