Xia Younan pushed the dagger in his hand forward again, his face as cold as frost, his calm eyes shone with murderous intent, "I got too arrogant today and wanted to kill the king for fun."

Lu Shian glared at her angrily, and after a long time, he let go of the bow, threw the bow and arrow to the ground, and stopped talking.

Xia Younan also put away the dagger he was carrying and couldn't help but feel frightened.

Damn it, this Lu Shian is serious, he actually wants to shoot Yuan'er to death, he is determined to take Yuan'er's life!

I must be careful and vigilant, and never let Yuan'er fall into his hands.

Lu Xiuyuan ran back with the shot goose and threw it to Lu Shian without even looking at him. He came behind Xia Younan and hugged her petite body in his arms again.

"Madam, are you cold?" He wrapped his big, broad hands around her delicate hands and blew into her ears, trying to warm her as much as possible.

Xia Younan shrank his neck, turned his head and smiled at him, "It's not cold."

After waiting for about half an hour, a huge marching team appeared in everyone's sight right in front of the official road.

The teams were divided into five rows and formed a long queue, so vast that it seemed as if the end was not in sight.

The soldiers were wearing armor and riding on big horses. As the horses ran, their hooves raised the yellow sand on the ground, looking so majestic.

At the front of the team was a burly man, riding a big horse, wearing armor, with a broad chest and courage that could not be defeated by any ten thousand men.

He has a square face, thick eyebrows, angry eyes, and a murderous look. One can tell from his temperament that he is a leader.

Further back, there was a carriage, the wheels of which were wrapped in cotton to reduce the bumps, which made people wonder how precious the person was sitting inside.

Soon, the Iron Blood Team arrived in front of Lu Shian. The leading general Tang Guojing dismounted from his horse, ran to Lu Shian, knelt on one knee, and saluted with his fists.

"Your Majesty! Your humble servant pays respect to Your Majesty. Long live the emperor!"

"Long live the emperor!" The rest of the soldiers also knelt on the ground, their shouts shaking the sky.

"Soldiers, you have worked hard. Get up quickly!" Lu Shi'an raised his hand and greeted them. He personally bent down to help Tang Guojing, patted his shoulder, and greeted him happily.

"Thank you for your hard work, my dear! In this battle with Zhujing State, you led your soldiers to defeat the enemy and ended this three-year-long war.

"You and your soldiers have defended our Lingjiang Nation and saved the people of the country from disaster. You are truly worthy of being called our country's great hero!"

Tang Guojing was flattered by the praise, and couldn't stop smiling. His eyes were also a little drifting, and he replied proudly: "Thank you for the praise, Your Majesty. This is what I should do. After all, apart from me, no one else in the court can defeat Zhu Jing."

Lu Shian frowned when he heard this, feeling unhappy.

Tang Guojing is still as speechless as ever. In front of all the civil and military officials in the court, he said that there is no one in the court who can match him. He is so arrogant.

But the victory was indeed won by others, so he had the capital to be so arrogant. Lu Shian didn't bother with him, and still smiled with good temper on the surface.

"Yes, the general is a man of unrivaled bravery. I know that, and so do all the civil and military officials in the court. Don't you agree?"

"Yes, the general is very brave." The civil and military officials behind him responded, but a few of them secretly rolled their eyes.

While Lu Shian was excitedly praising the soldiers of the three armies, the door of the carriage was opened by his entourage, and a beautiful girl in white was helped out of the carriage.

The girl was delicate and slender, with a face as white as goose fat, lips like cherry blossoms, and eyebrows as red as ink. She was indescribably soft and delicate.

She was wearing a pink and white dress and a thick white cape. She looked so delicate and pitiful, like a little princess who was raised in the palm of her hand.

Xia Younan looked at her from afar and saw a hint of surprise in the girl's eyes.

She had thought that the general's daughter would be a heroic woman riding a fierce horse and wearing fine clothes, but she turned out to be such a delicate and graceful girl, which was beyond her expectations.

Tang Ran got off the carriage and looked from afar. The first thing she saw was Lu Xiuyuan standing next to Lu Shian.

But before she could feel happy for even a second, her attention was caught by the stunningly beautiful woman in his arms.

Her heart seemed to be thrown into a boiling oil pan in an instant, and her already rosy face became even paler.

There was shock and pain on her face, her head was buzzing, and she was so shocked by the scene that she couldn't stand steadily.

She...she had heard about it. She heard that Brother Xiuyuan had his brain kicked by the second young lady of the prime minister's mansion while riding a horse and became stupid. She also heard that the emperor asked the second young lady to be responsible for Yuaner and granted them a marriage.

She thought that Brother Xiuyuan was forced, that the second lady of the Xiangfu was also forced, and that they were just playing around.

But why didn’t anyone tell her that the two of them were… so in love?

He hugged her from behind, his hands wrapped around hers, the two of them were close, with a faint smile on their faces...

When she heard the news, she cried and begged her father to let her go back to Beijing to stop Brother Xiuyuan. But her father didn't think highly of Brother Xiuyuan, so how could he let her go back to Beijing?

Since then, she has never had a good night's sleep, looking forward to returning to Beijing to meet Brother Xiuyuan day and night. But she didn't expect that the first time she saw him, she saw this scene, which broke her heart to death.

It took her a long time to come back to her senses. She really wanted to walk up to him and ask him what was going on, but the emperor was there and she had to be polite.

So she walked to Lu Shian with her lotus-like feet, knelt down and bowed, "Your servant Tang Ran pays respect to the emperor."

Lu Shian cast his eyes on her, curled his lips, raised his hand and said, "Miss Tang, please stand up. It has been really hard for you to follow your father to guard the border over the years.

"But Miss Tang is naturally beautiful. Not only has she not been affected by such a harsh environment, but she has become even more beautiful."

Facing this man who was sought after by all women in the world, Tang Ran was indifferent. She bent her knees again with a calm expression and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment."

Lu Shian waved his hand, smiled maliciously and teased, "Okay, I know that Miss Tang and my brother are childhood sweethearts, and their relationship is as good as if they are one person.

"You and my brother have been apart for several years. You must have missed each other very much, so I specially called him to pick you up. Go and reminisce about the old times with him."

"Yes, thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." Tang Ran stood up and walked towards Lu Xiuyuan and his wife.

Her eyes, flowing like water waves, stared at the man who occupied her heart, and the heartbreak inside was self-evident.

"Brother Xiuyuan~" Her voice was soft and weak, with a hint of sob, which made people feel heartbroken.

Lu Xiuyuan's brows were furrowed into a knot. He understood the grief and despair in her eyes. He felt sorry for this girl who was like a sister to him.

But it was only the love for my sister, without any other feelings mixed in.
