Lu Mu stared at Lin Wanwan's surprised expression and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong, Princess?"

At this time, Ye Lan came from a distance and knelt down in front of Lin Wanwan, "Hu...Hu..." panting heavily:

"Ye Lan...is late, causing...the princess to suffer."

"It's not too late! Not at all." Lin Wanwan looked at his exhausted appearance and said, "Take a rest."

Lu Mu looked at the flags and asked in confusion, "Where is General Wang? Why didn't he come?"

Ye Lan sat on the ground, took a deep breath, and explained, "No, I only brought a few flags."

Lu Mu frowned, even more puzzled: "How did you get the flag?"

Ye Lan said: "It was Lord Ouyang who asked me to bring the flag. He took it from General Wang Luda's residence. He said that General Wang couldn't make it in time, so he asked me to deploy a false army.

Now it seems that Minister Ouyang is indeed a master of divination."

Qin Jun smiled proudly and said, "Of course, he is my master."

Hua Yu was hiding aside and heard this with a smile on her face: It seems that I have to look up to Ouyang Qingyu again.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Hua Yu planned to leave first. He wanted to rush back to Kyoto before the princess to finish the next play.

Ye Lan noticed Hua Yu's movements. He quickly stood up and looked into the darkness: "Who's there?"

Lin Wanwan asked: "Who?"

Ye Lan shook his head and said, "He's gone."

Lin Wanwan suspected that it was the man in black.

Qingqing, Zitan, Qin Jun, and Su Ye gathered around Lin Wanwan, and only six guards from the Ministry of Justice were left.

Su Ye circled around Lin Wanwan again and again, looking her up and down carefully: "Princess, are you okay?"

Lu Mu replied: "The princess is fine, but a general died. He should be the garrison commander of Pingyang City."

When Su Ye heard the bad news, he stood there in a daze, his lips trembling: "General Jiang...how could it be..."

Qin Jun clenched his fists, his eyes red: "General Jiang was loyal and brave, but he suffered such a disaster!"

Qingqing covered her face with her hands and cried inconsolably.

Zitan watched everyone immersed in endless grief.

She looked at Lin Wanwan and frowned tightly, with deep sadness in her eyes.

Lin Wanwan looked at Qin Jun sadly and said, "Qin Jun, take care of Jiang Jie's funeral. Also, ask the guards to find Doctor Mao to remove the arrow and treat Lu Mu's injury."

Qin Jun said solemnly: "Yes."

Lin Wanwan glanced at the corpses scattered on the battlefield, her heart aching: "Except for Qin Jun who will take care of General Jiang's funeral, the rest of you, let's go back to the inn and talk about it."

Lin Wanwan turned around, her steps were heavy, and each step seemed to have a great force.

Everyone looked at each other, stood up and followed.

……

In the lobby of the inn.

Lin Wanwan sat on the chair and looked at Lu Mu with doubt in her eyes: "Lu Mu, are you a general now?"

Lu Mu smiled and said, "Yes, at that time, the princess used two hundred taels of silver to redeem me. I wanted to devote myself to the princess to repay her kindness, but the princess would rather go to Hongyue Tower than take me. The princess rejected me."

Upon hearing this, Zitan looked at Lin Wanwan and said, "Princess, so you sold paintings at that time..."

Qingqing nodded and replied, "Yes, the princess's reputation is almost ruined because of this matter."

Su Ye didn't say anything, but listened to what Lu Mu said next with a serious face.

Lu Mu glanced at Zi Tan and nodded, then looked at Lin Wanwan and said, "However, my mother died of illness a few weeks later, and after I buried her.

After fulfilling my filial duty, I took the remaining silver and went to Baiyang City. "

Lin Wanwan frowned immediately after hearing this: "Baiyang City?! Did you see Ye Zhan?"

When Ye Zhan was mentioned, Lu Mu's eyes burned with anger. He suppressed his heart and said, "The princess is right. You know that Ye Zhan is now the mayor of Baiyang City!"

Everyone continued to listen to Lu Mu's words. They saw a flash of anger in Lu Mu's eyes, and his clenched fists trembled slightly:

"When I first joined the army, I was bullied by him in every way."

Lin Wanwan frowned slightly and looked at Lu Mu with concern: "He will definitely humiliate you."

"Hmm..." Lu Mu took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and then said with a smile: "However, fortunately, there is always a way out, and I was fortunate enough to meet General Wang Luda.

I joined the army under General Wang Luda, and served as the left vanguard. I recovered Baiyang City and later took back two cities that were taken by the Purple Gold Country. "

At this point, Lu Mu's face showed a hint of pride, and his eyes sparkled with hope:

“General Wang is a kind and righteous man. He not only took me in, but also adopted me as his son and personally taught me the Wang family’s spearmanship.

Now, His Majesty has named him a mighty general."

Su Ye was greatly encouraged when he heard this. He looked at Lu Mu and fell into deep thought: A servant became a general through his own efforts and was able to protect the princess at the critical moment.

Lin Wanwan looked at Lu Mu and asked again: "Then how did you get here?"

Lu Mu was dressed in armor, looking heroic. He raised his head and met the princess's gaze, no longer humble:

"Princess, Lu Mu led his troops here this time because he followed the orders of the county horse Hua Yu."

Lin Wanwan was slightly startled, the confusion on her face instantly turned into surprise, and she opened her red lips slightly: "Hua Yu? Have you seen Hua Yu?"

Lu Mu nodded and said with a sad look, "Originally, I thought the princess was assassinated and died, so I returned to the princess's mansion.

When I met the county lord, he reminded me that the situation in Pingyang City was tense and he was worried about the safety of the county lord, so he asked me to come to reinforce him. "

Lin Wanwan's mouth corners unconsciously lifted, and her eyes softened: "I really didn't expect it was Hua Yu who reminded you."

At this time, Qin Jun hurried over with Doctor Mao.

Seeing that it was already late at night, Lin Wanwan said, "Everyone, have a good rest tonight. Pack up tomorrow morning and set off back to Kyoto in the afternoon. Pingyang City has lost its garrison commander and city lord, so we must send new ones as soon as possible."

Su Ye stood aside, with a heavy face: "Princess, I don't plan to go back."

Everyone present looked at Su Ye.

Su Ye smiled and said, "Princess, give me three months. I will help the people in Pingyang City and I will not give out banknotes. I plan to plant grapes with Luo Mingyuan first.

Three months later, I will return to Kyoto and tell you about the situation in Pingyang City. I will also combine my grandmother's business to see if there are other ways to make the business here rich."

Princess, please tell my father for me."

Zi Tan glanced at Su Ye and said with a smile: "Then I won't go back yet. I can also contribute to the business. I will stay here with Su Ye."

Lin Wanwan nodded: "Okay, Qin Jun, leave the remaining six guards from the Ministry of Justice to Su Ye. Also, tell them that they will be paid ten times their salary for three months here."

Lu Mu was a little surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly asked: "Princess, can the guards of the Ministry of Justice listen to your arrangements?"

Qin Jun nodded: "Of course I can. Just based on the relationship between the princess and our master, I can stay even if you ask me to. I will listen to the princess."

Lu Mu asked doubtfully: "Brother, who are you?"

Su Ye smiled and took a step forward: “Let me introduce it to you.

From left to right they are: the expressionless Ye Lan, the ugly Qin Jun, the lovely Qing Qing, and the charming Zi Tan.

As for me, I am Su Ye, the prime minister’s son and the princess’s young husband.

And Princess An Ning, who is so beautiful that she is as stunning as a fairy, the moon is ashamed of the flowers, the whole country is overwhelmed, her beauty is as beautiful as the moon, and her demeanor is so graceful that I wish I could accompany her all the way from Kyoto City to Pingyang City, and kneel down at her feet, surrender to her beauty, surrender to her shock, until my soul and internal organs are trembling violently!"

Zi Tan frowned and said, "Su Ye, you really have a clear distinction between what you love and what you hate."

Lu Mu was stunned: "Princess, I know him."

However, Su Ye said that he was the princess's... young husband...

Lu Mu looked at Su Ye, thinking for a moment.

Zi Tan looked at Lu Mu's expression, pursed her lips and smiled, then looked at Lin Wanwan with admiration in her eyes:

Those men will teach the princess how to love.

And the princess will teach those men how to grow up.

Lin Wanwan smiled faintly: "Okay, Su Ye, you said you wanted to stay, and this princess agreed. When this princess returns to Kyoto City, she will propose to the Prime Minister."

Su Ye heard this, his eyes were full of happiness and gratitude, and he said, "Thank you, Princess."

Lin Wanwan smiled and continued, "You, not only have to grow good grapes, but you also have to find an iron ore mine for this princess in the next three months."

Everyone almost said in unison: "What? Iron ore?"

Their faces were filled with shock and disbelief.

Su Ye was surprised and said, "This Pingyang City has always been considered a worthless and useless place, but there is actually iron ore hidden in it?"

Lu Mu was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time. It took him a long time to come to his senses: "Princess, how did you find out?"

"You found it." Lin Wanwan smiled gently, then took out the small piece of iron and handed it to Su Ye: "This is it."

Lu Mu took a look and realized that this was iron stone.

Ye Lan couldn't help but say, "It would be great if there really is an iron mine. We can build new weapons for the army. Princess, this despised Pingyang City is so important."

Qin Jun nodded when he heard this: "Brother Ye Lan, what you said is very true."

Lin Wanwan looked at Su Ye firmly and said:

"Yes, it is crucial to find the exact location of the iron ore, which is related to the future of our Pingyang City and Xuanyue Country.

Once the location is determined, this princess will send people to mine iron ore, open factories, and forge weapons."

Su Ye straightened his spine very seriously: "Don't worry, Princess, I will do my best!"

Doctor Mao, who was standing by, looked at Lu Mu's back and couldn't help but remind him, "Princess, please find a room. The broken arrow in the general's back needs to be removed as soon as possible."

When the waiter heard this, he quickly opened a room for Lu Mu.

At this time, Lu Mu clenched his fist and said, "Princess, can you come to my room? I have something to give to you."

Lin Wanwan nodded: "Okay."

Lin Wanwan and Lu Mu stood up and walked side by side upstairs to their guest rooms.

Zitan was watching Qin Jun from the side, and saw his eyes looking at Qingqing who was sitting on the chair: "Qin Jun, you helped me with something, thank you."

Qin Jun turned and looked at Zitan.

Zitan smiled, with a bit of cunning and expectation in her eyes, and said to Qin Jun:

"Go ask the princess to marry Qingqing. This is a great thing. Now that the matter has been settled, the timing is right. If you ask the princess about this now, she will definitely agree."

Qin Jun was stunned when he heard this, then he nodded without hesitation, walked to Lin Wanwan, knelt on his knees, and looked sincere and anxious:

"Princess, please marry Qingqing to me. I, Qin Jun, will take good care of her and will never leave her for the rest of my life."

His voice was firm and loud, echoing in the lobby of the inn.

Qingqing, who was standing aside, blushed instantly when she heard Qin Jun's sudden proposal. She lowered her head and stammered shyly, "Princess..."

Lin Wanwan looked at the scene in front of her and couldn't help laughing. She said with a smile: "Okay, since Qin Jun is sincere, this princess will help you two."

Qin Jun kowtowed immediately: "Thank you, Princess!"

Lin Wanwan and Lu Mu came to the guest room.

Doctor Mao placed the medical box behind him on the table and said, "General, please take off your armor so I can remove the broken arrow for you."

Lu Mu sat on the chair with a pale face. He took off his armor and clothes, revealing his back.

The blood on the wound had dried, and the arrow embedded in the flesh looked particularly hideous.

Doctor Mao frowned and said seriously: "This arrow must be pulled out as soon as possible, otherwise the wound will worsen and the consequences will be disastrous."

Lu Mu endured the pain and raised his head with difficulty. He looked at Lin Wanwan with a firm and eager gaze, his voice weak but full of expectation:

"Princess, I want you to pull out the arrow for me."
