The true and false lady's heart is waiting for the lady

"Mr. Ning Yu! What does this mean?"

"Hey!" Ning Yu waved her hand and said, "Just asking!"

She explained with a smile, but Luo Shijin didn't respond. Ning Yu glanced at Luo Shijin and asked, "What do you think of Ruoruo's child?"

Luo Shijin's body suddenly froze, and he looked at Ning Yu with a flustered look, but soon regained his composure and said, "Mr. Ning Yu, you look so weird for making such a joke."

"No, I'm just asking!" Ning Ruo put her hands on the table, tapping her fingers rhythmically, "She has reached the age to get married recently! She has also started to think about things, and she is always in a daze. I wonder what she is thinking about?"

Luo Shijin listened silently without answering. But he became nervous in his heart, and the next question was, "What do you think of General Xie?"

I was stunned when it fell.

"Hey! Do you think they are a good match? General Xie's uncle is a general under Yun He, and his father is the Imperial Censor!" Ning Yu suddenly frowned, "No! This family is too complicated, not suitable for Ruoruo!"

Luo Shijin listened to Ning Yu talking about Xi Ruoruo's marriage. He couldn't continue, so he put down the book in his hand and asked, "Does Miss Xi Ruoruo have someone she likes?"

"some!"

Ning Yu's answer made Luo Shijin nervous for some reason, so he asked, "Who?"

Ning Yu added: "That was a secret crush when they were young. Now that Kong Changjin has someone he loves, it's naturally not suitable for Ruoruo!"

Luo Shijin heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.

"We are in a period of national mourning now. If we want to discuss marriage, we have to wait another three years!" Luo Shijin didn't know why, but he felt uneasy when he thought of Xi Ruoruo.

"That's right!" Ning Yu thought that Xi Ruoruo was still young, "I plan to send someone to pick her up and take her back to the academy after the rain stops in two days."

When he heard that she was going to be sent away, Luo Shijin's heart skipped a beat.

At this moment, Xi Ruoruo, who was outside the door, felt very uncomfortable when she heard Li Ma's conversation. She turned around and left silently, lowering her head and feeling sad.

"Hey~ Xi...?" Xie Dengji walked towards him and wanted to say hello when he saw Xi Ruoruo, but he saw that she was in a very bad mood and ignored him.

Xie Dengji wanted to continue speaking, but he scratched his head in embarrassment and stopped talking.

Watching Xi Ruoruo walk away, he muttered in his heart, "How strange, what's wrong with Miss Ruoruo?"

"Forget it, never mind!"

Xie Deng didn't think too much about it. He had something important to do to find Luo Shijin. When he walked to the door, he saw Ning Yu coming out, "Mr. Ning Yu!"

"Yeah!" Ning Yu nodded in response and left without saying anything else.

Xie Dengji didn't think much about it. After he came in, he saw Luo Shijin in a daze, "General!"

Hearing the voice, Luo Shijin quickly came to his senses and asked, "What's the matter?"

"General, there is news from the southern border that the Barbarians are planning to launch a large-scale attack on the southern border. They may also attack the northwest. We need to dispatch 60,000 troops to the northwest for reinforcement. Nanzhou City in the southern border also needs troops."

When Luo Shijin heard this, his head started to hurt.

"Why do they both want people? Tongzhou won't be peaceful for a few days! The Hippopotamus have also recently started planning their next attack!" Both sides want people, and Tongzhou can't lose troops at this time. It also needs defense.

"General, what should we do?" Xie Dengji looked at Luo Shijin with an embarrassment. Even the general found this difficult, so he didn't know how to deal with it.

Motioned for him to sit down.

"Thank you General!"

After Xie Dengji sat down, he poured himself a cup of tea.

"Our troops are all former subordinates of King Bei'an. Would it be inappropriate to transfer them to Nanjing?"

Before he could drink the tea, Xie Dengji heard Luo Shijin's words and began to think. After a long while, he frowned and asked, "If we can't refuse, we can't let the new recruits go, right?"

Luo Shijin was helpless, smiled bitterly, and suddenly began to sigh: "There are wars everywhere now. Tongzhou is located on the border. It is related to national affairs! How can we not pay attention to it!"

It's not that they don't want to give it, but they are really powerless. The Hippopotamus are eyeing them covetously. Their soldiers have just stopped fighting and rested, and they have to start a long journey again. They are also worried that the soldiers can't bear it.

"That......?"

Xie Dengji was also puzzled and looked at Luo Shijin, wanting to see the answer from his face.

"Notify the soldiers to be alert at all times to prevent a surprise attack from the Hippopotamus tribe. Pass the order down to deploy the troops according to the order, stagger the two sides and leave one after the other!"

For now, this is the only way he can prepare.

Nangong Lingyue is Shen Yunhe’s senior brother and knows him inside out. It would be quite troublesome for the two to compete!

"Yes, General!" When Xie Dengji was about to leave, he stopped at the door and turned back to ask Luo Shijin, "General, Nanjing is closer to Hanya Academy, can we send Miss Xi Ruoruo back on the way?"

Luo Shijin glanced at Xie Dengji and said, "I just saw Miss Xi Ruoruo leaving here. She was in a bad mood and ignored me. I'm afraid that Miss Xi Ruoruo's brothers have all left. She has been out alone for so long, so she must be missing home."

"She has been here?" Luo Shijin asked with a frown.

Xie Dengji didn't understand what was going on, so he nodded and replied, "He left from the direction of the study, didn't he come in?"

"She's been here?" Luo Shijin couldn't hear what Xie Dengji said. He was only thinking about whether she had really been here. "Did she hear the conversation between me and Mr. Ning Yu?"

"General?" Seeing that Luo Shijin had no reaction and looked dull, Xie Dengji asked again. Seeing no response, he bowed slightly and left.

After Xie Dengji left the room, things began to quiet down. Luo Shijin also began to feel uneasy and was unable to handle his work.

Sit down and try to calm yourself down.

As soon as I sat down, I felt even more uncomfortable. I looked at the rain outside, which was still dripping. I recalled that a month ago, the Hippopotamus tribe suddenly attacked.

The soldiers in the city had just experienced the last war and had no time to react, so the Hippo tribe suddenly attacked, catching them off guard. They were exhausted and had to bite the bullet to fight.

"General, something bad is happening?"

In the military camp, Luo Shijin was looking at the map and thinking about what to do next, but he saw the young general rushing in. "General, the enemy attacked by surprise, and the city gate was lost!"

The young general knelt on the ground as soon as he came in, his face was wounded, bleeding, and his eyes were bloodshot. He looked exhausted, but still worried about the safety of the city.

At this moment, my head felt like it was going to explode, but I told myself to stay calm.

"Who are the people guarding the city?"

"It was General Qiao. It was General Qiao who fell into a deep sleep before the enemy's surprise attack!"

"Except for General Qiao, all the other soldiers defending the city were drugged!"

Before he could digest it, "General, something bad has happened. The East Gate has been captured, the soldiers have food poisoning, General Duan Hai has rebelled, and brought 20,000 soldiers to join the Hippo Tribe!" A soldier with messy hair came in, "General Wende is not here, and General Li Zhang has gone to the northwest. What should we do now?"

"Where is General Xie?" Luo Shijin also began to worry, but his tone was still calm. "General, General Xie is resisting the enemy at the South Gate."

No one spoke when he fell.

He waved his hand for both of them to stand up.

"Besides the soldiers in the city who were poisoned, were the civilians affected?"

"no!"

Luo Shijin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"General, the city gate is about to fall!" The generals who reported the incident began to get anxious. Their hair was smoking with anxiety, but Luo Shijin remained calm as usual.

Seeing how anxious they were, Luo Shijin looked towards the door and called out, "Anda?"

"General?" An Da came in. "Notify them that we can take action now. Since they want to rebel, don't blame us for not leaving them a way out!" As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Shijin's face turned gloomy.

"Yes, General."

After An Da turned around and walked out of the tent, he took out the fireworks that he had prepared to convey the message and fired them into the sky.

After receiving the message, the leading general Lu Nan, who was far away in the forest outside the city, saw the signal.

"Pass the order, wait for them to come over, if they are resisters, don't spare any of them!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers have been waiting here for a long time, just for this moment to come.

Not long after receiving the signal, Duan Hai was seen leaving with 20,000 soldiers.

Lu Nan was already prepared and made eye contact with his deputy general.

The trap that had been set long ago.

"General, they are all our brothers, must we...?" The deputy general beside him looked at General Lu Nan and asked, feeling sorry for him. Lu Nan looked at him and immediately shut his mouth.

"We showed them mercy today. Will they show mercy to us when we meet on the battlefield in the future? Since they chose to rebel, they had already thought about the situation today."

He was heartbroken, but what could he do? If their positions were different, there was no need for him to show mercy.

The deputy general stopped talking and remained quiet, waiting until they arrived at the place where a trap had been set for them.

"put!"
