Song Rui's expression changed slightly, and she immediately grabbed Lu Beiyou.

"Where is my fifth brother?"

"It's in the border town, but don't worry, Fifth Brother is safe."

Song Rui slowly calmed down after hearing this.

"What's the situation in the border town now?"

"We have fought against Wusu twice. The first time was a test, and both sides did not suffer much loss. The second time we were prepared and had the upper hand temporarily."

Song Rui slowly exhaled after hearing this and instantly relaxed a lot.

"I want to visit the border town."

Lu Beiyou frowned, subconsciously about to refuse, but Song Rui suddenly held his hand and said coquettishly: "Take me there!"

Lu Beiyou looked at the two people's hands clasped together, and finally couldn't bear to reject her.

"Okay, I'll take you there."

Song Rui smiled upon hearing this.

On February 13th, news of Wusu's invasion of the border town reached Yuanjiang Mansion. Jiang Mingyue was shocked, looked at Xie Yuan and asked, "What's the situation in the border town now?"

Xie Yuan shook his head.

"I don't know yet."

"I remember that Your Highness went to the border town five years ago?"

Xie Yuan said 'hmm': "He should be fine."

Jiang Mingyue felt relieved when her husband said this.

"What is the attitude of the Holy One?"

"Recruited 60,000 troops and mobilized a large amount of food to send to the border town."

"Are you preparing to fight Wu Su?"

"It's hard to say now, but this move reveals that the Holy One is no longer prepared to swallow his anger."

Xie Yuan paused and said, "I'm going to write a letter to His Highness the Fifth Prince and inquire about the situation in the border town."

"Ok!"

In mid-March, 60,000 troops arrived at the border town. The moment they appeared on the top of the city, the Wusu people fell silent.

After fighting for so long, they lost more and won less. If it continued like this, it would be more and more disadvantageous for them. After discussing with other tribes, the Reke tribe sent envoys to negotiate peace.

Song Ren, Lu Beiyou and four people who knew Wusu language received them.

As they had expected, Wusu Lion opened his mouth this time, not only asking Da Chu to marry another princess, but also asking Da Chu to compensate them for all their consumption during this period and the food they would need for the next year.

While the other four were bargaining with the Wusu envoy, Song Ren stood up angrily after listening to Lu Beiyou's translation.

For a moment everyone looked at him.

Song Ren looked at Wusu's envoy with cold eyes and said calmly: "Tell them to return our country and Princess Jing, and compensate our army for all the consumption during this period, otherwise our great Chu and Wusu will fight to the death."

Lu Beiyou looked at Song Ren in surprise after hearing these words. These words are so tough! But is this something you, a junior official, can say? Lu Beiyou pulled Song Ren, and just as he was about to signal everyone to continue talking, one person relayed the words to the Wusu delegation.

The Wusu delegation was furious and pulled out the scimitar from his waist. Song Ren snorted coldly: "Kill and leave only one alive."

Lu Beiyou looked at the soldiers rushing towards the Wusu delegation, turned around to see that everyone was protecting Song Ren behind him, and raised his eyebrows involuntarily. After a while, he seemed to have thought of something, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he looked at him again Song Ren.

After a while, Song Ren saw that there was only one person left in the Wusu delegation and said calmly: "Throw it outside the city."

"Yes!"

After he and Lu Beiyou were the only ones left in the room, Song Ren pointed to the seat next to him gently: "Sit down!"

Lu Beiyou shook his head. After knowing Song Ren's identity, how could he dare to sit down again?

"You must have guessed my identity."

Lu Beiyou nodded and said in a dry voice: "Xiao Rui?"

"That is Princess Chaoyang of Dachu, and she is also my father's favorite daughter."

Lu Beiyou swallowed hard. She was really a princess. No wonder Xiaorui said before that she was a toad who wanted to eat swan meat.

Song Ren took a sip of tea and said calmly: "Father will not betroth his daughter to a member of the caravan."

Lu Beiyou had a wry smile on his face.

"I see."

"Go back and think about you and Xiaorui. She won't be able to stay here long."

After Song Ren finished speaking, he walked out of the living room and invited Yonghe to whisper to him. Lu Beiyou is a very capable person. Not only is he familiar with the affairs of the Wusu tribes, but he is also extremely powerful and has excellent martial arts. It would be a pity that such a person does not join the military camp. Besides, General Cao is old, how many more years can he stay here?

Song Rui, who learned about the content of the peace talks in the afternoon, ran to Lu Beiyou's residence. The moment she saw him, she burst into tears and hugged him.

Song Rui took the initiative to throw herself into his arms. Lu Beiyou was a little confused, but he still hugged her immediately.

"What's wrong? Who bullied you?"

"Lu Beiyou, I don't want a marriage, I don't want it."

Lu Beiyou frowned.

"What nonsense are you talking about! What about a marriage?"

"I know everything. I know everything about their peace talks. Lu Beiyou, I am Princess Chaoyang and the only princess eligible for marriage. I'm afraid, I'm so afraid!"

Lu Beiyou noticed that her body was shaking and hugged her tightly.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I won't let you get married. You can only be my woman in this life. If anyone dares to rob you from me, I will kill him."

Song Rui buried her face in his chest and just cried, not feeling much relieved by his words.

On the wall of the border city, Song Ren looked at the Wusu people attacking the city below. Hearing Yonghe's report, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

"I understand, let's defend the city together!"

"Yes!"

The two men followed the soldiers and picked up the stone and threw it down.

An hour later, Song Ren saw that Wusu's army had retreated, and together with several lieutenants, he arranged for the soldiers to go down and take turns to rest.

At dusk, Song Ren was eating grain cakes with the soldiers with a bowl of meat porridge, when Lu Beiyou came over.

Song Ren picked up the bowl and led him into the tent.

"Fifth brother, how can I marry Xiaorui? I hope you can point out a way out for us. I will definitely remember the kindness I received today and will repay you in the future if I have the opportunity."

Song Ren pointed to the seat next to him.

"It doesn't have to be like this. Xiaorui is my sister. I naturally hope that she can live happily for the rest of her life."

He paused and looked at Lu Beiyou.

"You surrender to the army! While we are fighting against Wusu this time, as long as you have achieved military exploits, General Cao can ask for credit for you. Then I will say a few nice words for you in front of my father, and the matter between you and Xiaorui will also be done. It’s done.”

Lu Beiyou's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Thank you, fifth brother, for your advice. I will enlist in the army right now."

"Don't worry, it's too slow to start from a small soldier. Wusu will attack us. You are the first to discover it, which can be regarded as a meritorious service. I will talk to General Cao about finding a captain for you. Wait for me and He has agreed that you are joining the army, and then your brothers can also join the army with you and seek a decent career."

Lu Beiyou stood up after hearing this and saluted Song Ren solemnly.

"Fifth brother, from today on, you are my brother, Lu Beiyou. From now on, whenever you need me, just tell me."

Song Ren smiled gently and reached out to help Lu Beiyou.
